Contract with the Magician under the Moon

I am a pearl, I don't know how to describe my state of mind at the moment.That feeling, as if the concept that I had established well all along collapsed at this moment, and all the inferences that were logical and almost became established facts were all overturned at this moment.

The heavy door of the ward behind him was slowly closed under the pressure of the door closer, and the metal sound of the lock pin closing seemed to be amplified several times in silence. My body trembled with the sound.

I stood there in a daze, as if nails had been nailed to my feet, and I couldn't move even once.The person I saw in front of me shocked all my intentions, and a bone-piercing horror spread throughout my body, even my fingertips were cold.

The man in front of me is the one who has been with me for more than ten years. All the memories about him can come to my eyes as long as I close my eyes.It's just that at this moment, the aura exuding from him makes me feel that this is another person at all.

Shen Wu was wearing that kimono, standing there against the light.He turned to face me, the bright sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him formed a strong contrast with the haze on his face, even the silver-rimmed glasses on his nose were filled with a gloomy indifference.

He seemed to know from the beginning that it was me who was coming, and when he said "please come in" to me outside the door, he seemed to be ready to face me.

But I was not ready, not a little bit prepared.

"........."

I opened my mouth and my lips trembled, but for a long time, I couldn't call out "Dad" as easily as before.

"Zhuli, sit down, there are peeled fruits over there." Shen Wu's tone didn't change much, he was in the same tone as before, as if nothing happened in the past, and he was talking to me as usual .

I glanced at where his fingers were pointing. There was a glass plate on the carved mahogany tea table, and on the plate were apples cut into rabbit shapes.

I didn't move, and I couldn't move.My body seemed to be out of the control of my brain, and I just stared hard at the person in front of me who was obviously the most familiar person but felt extremely strange to me at this moment.

"Aren't you going to eat it? Then I'll go eat it hehehe..." Shen Wu spoke in his disrespectful tone, as if he really wanted to grab the fruit from me.

After finishing speaking, he really walked towards the tea table, sat down on the chair beside the tea table, took a toothpick, stuck it on the apple, then put the apple in his mouth, and chewed it .

In the quiet ward, the sound of his chewing was particularly crisp.

My eyes fell on Shen Wu's body, staring straight at every movement of his, even the shaking of the muscles on his face every time he chewed.The man's appearance is still the naive appearance I am familiar with, but it is quite inconsistent with this overly luxurious VIP ward and the identities that the people in this ward should have.

Yes, I never imagined that the person I met here would be Shingo Ichijo.

I held the blank medical record in my hand, and grasped it harder and harder, so that the hard edge of the medical record made my palm feel a dull pain.

"...Why is Dad here?"

I finally opened my mouth to ask. When the words fell, Shen Wu over there stopped eating fruit. After eating the last piece of apple, he put down the toothpick in his hand. converged.

"Zhuli, sit down." Shen Wu pointed at the tea table with his fingers, motioning for me to sit on the chair opposite him.

This time he called me in a tone that was no less relaxed and easy-going than last time. It was clearly the same words, but he expressed a sense of oppression that I would never dare to disobey.This feeling is very similar to the feeling when facing Gin, who unabashedly expressed his murderous intentions towards me.

I sat down on the chair opposite Shingo, and for the first time I felt a sense of fear.I never thought my father, Shingo Ichijo, was a scary person. Even if I got the last place in the class and he helped me to hold the parent-teacher meeting the night before, I was never so scared.

I am very clear that what I am facing at this moment may not only be the "father" of Shen Wu, but his identity must be related to the organization.Combined with the human experiments in his rural hospital and the intermittent clues about Pinot Noir, it is absolutely impossible for Shen Wu to break away from the organization.

"Why is Dad here?" I asked again, "Shouldn't the person in this ward be...that minister?"

Shen Wu didn't answer me, when I mentioned "Minister", his eyebrows were raised.Afterwards, he reached out to open the tea pot, lowered his head and began to pinch the tea into the teapot. After pinching, he opened the kettle beside him.

Because of Shen Wu's silence, I continued to ask unwillingly: "When we went to the temple fair together, what happened after we separated? Why did Dad suddenly disappear after that? What happened in Dad's hospital? Is it true? What is the relationship between Dad and that organization? And... Is Dad a Pinot Noir?"

Shingo slowly closed the tea pot, and finally cast his eyes on my face.In the eyes behind his pair of silver-rimmed glasses, there is a darkness that seems to be able to swallow people.

I thought my dad might not say anything, but he opened his mouth and answered straightforwardly: "I asked someone to lure Kawakami over to the temple fair. The purpose is to let Kawakami kill me directly. If everything goes well, After the temple fair, it should be Yiyi Shenwu's funeral, who would have known that Rin Rin spent her..."

Having said that, Shen Wu froze for a moment, as if it was because of the mention of Rin Rin Hua.Shen Wu has always been the most sincere expression of his feelings for his wife, no matter what his status is, that love will never be false.

"The original plan was that I was hacked to death by Kawakami on the spot, but Rin Rinka saved my substitute. If it wasn't for this miscalculation, I might not know Rin Rinka's identity."

Shen Wu narrated calmly, he didn't seem to want to hide anything, but told the truth behind those events frankly.

Hearing this, I somewhat understood the situation at that time. Rin Rinka and Shen Wu are fundamentally different forces, and the forces they each represent have completely different positions.

I think the most incredible thing is that they have lived without knowing each other's identities for more than ten years, thinking that each other is just an ordinary surgeon and an ordinary housewife.

Should I praise them for hiding them deeply, or should I complain that their hearts are too big...

I suddenly understood why Shingo did it.

Because the positions are completely opposite, it is better to let Rin Rinka and I think that he is "dead", so that we can continue to work for that organization without bearing a psychological burden.

But I don't agree with the plan of letting Chuan Shang go to the temple fair to kill people. It's hard for me to imagine that this dangerous way of treating human life as nothing is actually the idea of ​​my father with superb medical skills who can save lives and heal the wounded.For his own selfishness, he ignored the behavior of that dangerous element in Kawakami who would slash and injure other people.

After Shen Wu finished talking about the temple fair, he admitted in a disguised form that he had a relationship with that organization.

Once this clue is drawn, the inhumane human experiments in his hospital are all real things that happened, and as the dean there, or the member of the organization responsible for the experiment, he is absolutely not innocently involved And the ones who were forced to do those things.

He is the dominant player, a black player through and through.

I just felt that the man in front of me was terribly strange. I looked into his eyes, except for a little emotional ups and downs when talking about Lin Linhua, I was too calm throughout the whole process.

The water in the kettle boiled and made a harsh sound.That voice was like the wailing in my heart, painful and complicated.

Seriously, I'd rather be a little stupid, so I don't have to think things through so clearly.Or... I don't want to touch these things in the first place.But the one who didn't want to be kept in the dark and wanted to take the initiative to investigate was precisely myself.

Humans are such paradoxical creatures sometimes.

Shen Wu turned off the kettle and started making tea deftly.

The boiling water with white mist is poured out from the spout, soaking the tea leaves.At this moment, the fresh fragrance of tea diffused in the air.

The steaming mist between Shenwu and me is like a barrier separating him and me into two worlds.

Shingo caught my expression and seemed to see through my thoughts.

"Would you like to listen later?" he asked me.

"No need." I shook my head.

Shen Wu raised his eyebrows and sighed: "Our Zhuli has grown up."

I have heard this sentence more than once. Before, it was Shen Wu who was making fun of the relationship between boys and girls between me and Hei Yu. This time, "grow up" means mature, right?

"Dad hasn't finished answering the rest of the questions yet."

Shen Wu poured out the first brew of tea, picked up the kettle again, and added water to the small and delicate teapot.

After he filled up the water and put the lid on the teapot, he asked me in a leisurely manner, "What's the problem?"

"Is Dad a Pinot Noir?"

"This question, doesn't Zhuli already have an answer in her heart?"

Yes, I do have the answer.

From the first second I walked into the ward and saw Shen Wu, I thought of this possibility.But, not sure yet, are you?

Those descriptions about Pinot Noir, I don't think there is any connection with my father.What kind of old man half buried in the ground, what perverted lolicon... Oh, the latter point is quite suitable.

"I'm not sure if my answer is right..."

Not only am I not sure, I don't even want to be right.

"Zhuli." Shen Wu called me, and then he poured himself a cup of tea, picked up the cup, blew on it, and took a small sip, "Do you really think that your poor acting skills make Gin drink casually?" Just let you go? Do you think the person who can put the bullet of gin in your cheek instead of your forehead is anyone else? Do you think you can let Belmode go to other places instead of coming with him to the hospital Can someone else be someone else?"

Shen Wu's tone was so calm that there was no fluctuation, and a series of rhetorical questions sent chills down my spine.

He knew from the very beginning...

What happened at that time was not my luck, but Shenwu helped me block everything.It was he who gave me the status of a "Pinot Noir subordinate", so I was able to avoid disasters frequently.

And... is Belmode the name of that blonde woman with big breasts?Absinthe is also a wine name.

Come to think of it, sure enough, I was still too naive.

"Father, I have another question..." I swallowed, thinking that this is the end of the matter, why don't I just ask all the doubts at once, and I will feel more comfortable.

"Go ahead."

"Did I misread the old man that Uncle Kasai received at that time?"

This is the biggest doubt. My initial idea was to equate the old man with Pinot Noir and Minister Sakurai.But in fact, this equal sign is added between Shen Wu and Pinot Noir.

What about the old man I actually saw?It's impossible to disappear out of thin air, right?

To this, Shen Wu replied: "You read it right at the time, it was Minister Sakurai."

"But why is it Dad who is in the ward?"

"Because it was me at that time." Shen Wu put down his teacup, pointed to the wardrobe next to the hospital bed, "Would you like to open it?"

I nodded dumbly, and listened to Shingo's words without any precautions.

Walking to the closet, my eyelids started to jump wildly.When I grasped the handle of the closet, I even felt that I was about to open Pandora's box.There is definitely something taboo in there, I feel so.

"There's nothing dangerous inside, you can open it and have a look, you should have seen someone else used it." Shen Wu, who was sitting in front of the tea table, seemed to be urging me to open it.

I took a deep breath.

No matter, go all out!

Pulling open the closet suddenly, what was placed inside was a skin mask, and that face was Minister Sakurai.

I understood what Shingo meant when he said I've seen other people use it, because when Kuroba disguised himself as someone else, he should have used this kind of thing.

At this time, I suddenly remembered a sentence, the more you know, the faster you die.

It was too late when I became alert, and Shen Wu walked behind me at some point and covered my mouth and nose from behind.In his hand was a square scarf that seemed to smell of ether.

The author has something to say: It can be said that the suspense line is almost explained, the father is black, but he is also a good father.

I remember a long time ago someone guessed that daddy was Pinot Noir
