Sente Eiji's Black Friday

"Drip drip-"

The alarm was screaming and the red light was flashing, and below was the reference room where the explosion-proof door was smashed by violence.

There were screams and chaotic footsteps, and a certain culprit looked at the computer equipment in the room, raised his eyebrows playfully, then retreated decisively, and flashed into the corridor to a place that would not be caught by the next "big movement". Spread to the blind spot.

"Cognac!!"

Just after he hid, the familiar voice sounded eerie like he was about to eat his flesh, accompanied by a few missiles that could be shot into his body within a second.

Natsume Eiji leaned against the wall and chuckled, complaining in a rather intimate tone:

"It's too much, brother, I'm the chief researcher here, how can you cancel my permission to open the door? It made me even record the research of biochemical weapons—"

"boom--!!"

Deafening explosions came from the reference room.

In this grand accompaniment, the instigator grinned viciously, poked his head out and said happily to the gin that had to crawl to absorb the shock, like a child genius who succeeded in pranks: "——almost failed to blow up."

Cognac—! !

Gin Jiu stared at him with eyes wide open, ignoring the top hat that was blown away by the hot wind, lying on the ground and raising his hand to shoot a few times.

Eiji retracted his head quickly.

——The experimental base where they are now has been open to Natsume Eiji without barriers before this morning, because—as Eiji himself said—he is the chief researcher of the biochemical weapons research project of the Black Organization.

The tube of biochemical germs brought back from Enoshima a year ago by the order of the boss of the organization is now staying in the fully airtight laboratory not far from them, and the one that Eiji blew up just now is stored in his room for a year. A repository for all research records.

Gin can be sure, as for Cognac's temperament of controlling everything in the palm of his hand and nothing will surprise him, he must have a backup in his hand, but the data that was just blown up is absolutely It is the last copy kept by the organization.

In other words, as long as Cognac takes away the tube of germs in the laboratory, he can make the organization invest a lot of money and manpower in the research progress of biological and chemical weapons, and return to zero in one day.

Thinking about it further, this ruthless man who did everything he could to leave no room for his opponents to survive might also destroy Xiaoka Group's biochemical weapons research institute at the same time.

Heh... It's really a good abacus.

Gin tightly clenched the gun in his hand, and the corners of his lips curled up ferociously because of the raging anger.

Scorching flames and smoke filled the corridors, and the smoke alarms on the ceiling went on and began to rain down mist while exhausting the smoke for air.

At this moment, there was a barely audible sound of loading, and Gin's eyes sharpened. He pressed his hat and rolled to the wall a few meters away, narrowly avoiding a row of bullets.

Vodka, who was following him before the explosion, happened to be hiding here, and when he saw him coming, he quickly called his brother.

Qin Jiu ignored him, but quickly looked around with beast-like green eyes.

This is the core area of ​​the experimental base. The radial corridors converge in the front, and at the intersection is a compound laboratory in the shape of a large cylinder and a small cylinder.

The laboratory is full of futuristic and technological sense. The outer wall is made of fully transparent special bulletproof material, which is still intact even after the impact of the explosion. However, the researchers inside were still terrified, and a dozen people all hid under the table tremblingly. .

In the very center of this large cylindrical laboratory, there is another empty small cylindrical laboratory, with nothing in it, only a booth with a height of half a person, and a virus incubator is placed on it. stored inside.

Both large and small laboratories have automatic sliding doors with combination locks, which are made of the same bulletproof material as the walls.However, perhaps Natsume Eiji had tampered with it in advance, or maybe the aftershock of the explosion changed the position of the internal parts of the door lock, and both doors were opened at this moment.

To be honest, when there are extremely lethal biochemical weapons inside, the fact that "the door of the isolation laboratory is opened" is actually quite scary.

But it's not a big problem. After all, although the doors are automatic, they are all sliding doors. Someone can push them manually and they can be locked again.

The stunned frail researchers obviously didn't notice this, and just looked at the gin and vodka outside in fear.

That's right, the place where the two men were hiding happened to be visible to the researchers.

At this moment, Natsume Eiji was hiding on the right side of the outer laboratory door, while gin and vodka were hiding on the left side of the door.This means that if Eiji wants to get the germs, he must first get rid of the gin.

Kind of troublesome.

Eiji looked at the wall of the laboratory and the pale overhead light inside, rubbing his chin and thinking about it.

Such polished glass could not create enough shadows for him to hide in.

His technique "Hidden Shadow" is an ability shared by a certain [Eiji] and passed on to all of himself. There is an infinite shadow space inside it, and anything can be hidden in the shadow if the touch conditions are met.Of course, since shadows don't mix with air, be careful with timing when hiding creatures.

In addition, Eiji can hide himself in the shadow of other things after coming into contact with it, provided that the area of ​​the shadow is large enough.

What's more, although he can hide in his own shadow, manipulate the shadow to move at will, and even hide multiple life forms in the shadow, he and other self-aware life forms cannot hide in the shadow. Co-existing.

That is to say, he either hides himself in the shadow, or he hides other people or small animals in the shadow by himself, in short, he wants the shadow to realize whose feet he is staying at.Otherwise, this shadow will have the risk of changing hands.

The shadow will also change hands, which sounds quite dark and humorous, but it is the case.After all, everyone has a shadow, and the shadow itself does not know who it is.

I have to say that this technique is very characteristic of Eiji itself, interesting, free and very unreliable—ahem, very reliable.

Well, anyway, it looks like he's going to have to fight gin now.

... a little excited.

Enjoying the pleasure of conquering, Eiji-kun filled the magazine with a smile, and just wanted to say a few words before the fight, when he was keenly aware of a few footsteps.

He had some guesses in his heart, thought for a while, and called out directly: "Bermod?"

"Long time no see, Cognac."

Sure enough, the woman's voice came floating, and it sounded quite far away from him.

"Bermod, who asked you to uncuff them?!" Gin's voice came next.

In the corridor tens of meters away, Belmode stood behind Furutani Rei and Akai Shuichi who had regained their freedom, and rolled his eyes at Gin's vicious gaze: "You have gone too far, Gin, Bourbon He and Ley are not sure if they are traitors! They are the most glorious members of the code name in the past two years, you should be careful to draw water from the bamboo basket."

"Oh." Of course, Qin Jiu knew what she was reminding himself, and immediately sneered, "You think too much, neither Cognac nor the two of them can escape today."

"Why, you brought them here, Belmode?" The voice familiar to everyone present laughed at this moment, "Thank you, you are indeed my best friend."

"Who is your best friend? I have nothing to say to the lackeys of the police."

A man like Belmode would naturally not pick up this remark, and curled his lips indifferently, "But look at the fact that you have provided me with a lot of fun before——I did bring your kitten to you. .”

She glanced at Jiang Gu Ling pointingly.

"Kitten? No, no, it's my puppy." Natsume Eiji chuckled.

"Can you stop talking to yourself there, it's disgusting."

The blond young man who had been silent for a long time finally showed a smirk, but only those familiar with him could see the reluctance in his smile, "Also, Belmode, why did you just acquiesce that guy is the police? Didn't I say that?" Is it impossible?"

"—Enough is enough, Bourbon, it's too ugly to be so arrogant."

Gin cut off the conversation impatiently before Belmode could answer, and frowned irritably, "Or what, do you think you can clear your suspicion if you kill him if you don't admit that he is a police officer?"

"...He just can't be a police officer." Jiang Gu Ling leaned against the wall with his shoulders covered, his voice was soft, but there was a strange stubbornness and persistence.

Akai Hideichi next to him stood there with a pale face when Eiji didn't refute the title of "Cognac" at first.

The two members of the code name are not interested in clearing themselves of their suspicions. This kind of thing is a bit too suspicious, especially when they insist that Eiji cannot be Bourbon of the police, it is almost as if there is some special news channel.

Just when the cloud of suspicion was about to rise in Qin Jiu's heart, Natsume Eiji's voice came again, leisurely and leisurely, not at all like an undercover agent who broke into someone's stronghold alone.

"Hey, is there a possibility that I sent them that text message on purpose?"

……what?

The expressions of the few people standing together in the corridor were all blank.

Natsume Eiji's enthusiastic questioning continued:

"No way? You don't really think that I sent text messages to them because I cared about the two of them, do you? Hahahaha, this kind of thing is impossible even if you think about it? Mr. Eiji, I already have the love of my life, You are all just my wings, I sent that message just to see the unbelievable expression of the defeated dog!"

"Defeated dog?" Belmode seemed to be interested, and raised his eyebrows to pick out the word and asked back.

"Yes, defeated dog."

The clear and magnetic voice was filled with a meaningful smile, and the undisguised sarcasm in his tone seemed to be able to pierce people's hearts.

"Knowing that the person I love with all my heart, who also loves me with all my heart, and who wants to protect me until the last moment is actually an undercover agent, isn't it a wonderful feeling?"

"—Tou-kun who still refuses to believe that I am an undercover agent, Ley who has just figured out that he has been being used all the time, and my elder brother who has been played around by me... Hahaha, as long as you think of the present you will show What kind of expression, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart!"

A steady stream of ridicule like a devil came into his ears.

Those words are like sharp knives, they can pierce some people's hearts to the point of blood, and make them suffer so much that even their souls tremble.

Only one person noticed that after the man who claimed to have played with everything said these words, some original facts had been quietly changed.

Rei Fuguya still doesn't believe that Natsume Eiji is a police officer, because he loves him too deeply and is too stupid, and he puts all his trust in him. Naturally, it is more difficult for others to accept the reality;

Ley was the hardest hit. After all, he was completely used by others, and it is understandable for him to have inconsistent behavior;

And Gin... hehe, isn't what he's done so far crazy enough?He's clearly lost his mind!The wolf who had been betrayed by his trust was so angry that he lost his mind. Not only did he mistrust the people around him, but he also turned his sadness into hatred.

That is to say, none of the members of the organization present were suspicious, and if anyone wanted to blame him, he could only blame the man Natsume Eiji—no, this emotional liar is too "powerful"!

——What is this, a lone hero who puts everything on his back?Or is it a "conspiracy" to push everyone away again?

In a corner where no one else noticed, Jiang Gu Ling pulled out a self-deprecating smile that seemed to be tearful, and stared at the man who was slowly coming out of the corner with almost collapse.

——He has no idea what the real you are like.

If you still have the heart, at least give him a hint, right?Don't let him continue to solve this mystery!

Just to know who you really are.

...Even if he is your dog, he will recognize it.
