Toru Amuro's monitor was installed overnight, and the first picture captured after installation was Gin and Shuichi Akai coming out of the Internet cafe together.

Using the computer to remotely adjust the camera angle, Toru Amuro rested his chin, tapped his fingers on the table, and looked at the two people in the camera with great interest.

At that time, the night was deep and quiet, and everything was silent.The light from the street lamp quietly sprinkled outside the store door, drawing a black boundary under the threshold, and the inside and outside of the house were clearly separated.

Akai Shuichi stood outside the door, while Gin was inside, saying goodbye politely.

"Will this Internet cafe be open all the time?" Akai Shuichi pretended to look at it, and looked at the gin carefully, "With all due respect, you still look like a student at school."

"It's a holiday during this period, and it will be open for a week, and I will go back to school to study." Qin Jiu said the reason he had prepared, with a cold tone, and did not want to talk to him deeply, "It's getting late, sir, I looked at my phone all day, Go back and rest early."

What he said were polite words without emotion, which was no different from an order to chase away guests, but Akai Shuichi was in a daze for a moment, thinking that this was his dream again.

Those days in the organization were indeed like a weird dream to him, although it was a cold-blooded and cruel place, there would occasionally be a few glimmers of light.

In the light that Shuichi Akai could catch, most of the time standing was gin.

The bullet that brushed against his cheek in the darkness cut a spark and saved his life;

A cigarette is handed out by a bloodstained hand in the setting sun;

The bitter wind blowing over the corners of the clothes of the person in front of him on the cliff hit his face;

The sticky smog in London blurred the umbrella above my head...

During those days, Gin took him all over the world, but he was only a dispatcher in the rear, and he didn't really do anything to anyone—the organization's situation at that time didn't allow them to do so.

If it wasn't for his other missions, he wouldn't have been exposed so quickly, and maybe the days like this would have been longer...

Akai Shuichi's eyes flickered, and the memory was forcibly pulled out by the cold rain.He looked up and saw the rain falling under the faint moonlight, but Gin was no longer in front of him.

Did he stay in a daze for a long time?

Akai Shuichi was puzzled, the window suddenly opened, and a black umbrella was thrown out from inside.

He caught it belatedly, and before he had time to speak, he saw Gin put his head out and said expressionlessly, "Pay it back to me tomorrow."

"..."

Akai Hideichi opened his umbrella and said with a smile, "Thank you."

It was dark under the umbrella, but his pupils shone with a sharp light.

Gin closed the windows, turned off the electric switch in the lobby on the first floor, and went upstairs with his slippers on.

The rabbit got up from the trash can: "Don't you hate him? Why did you give him an umbrella?"

"I'll give him an umbrella tonight," Gin's voice drifted slowly downstairs, "he'll give me money tomorrow."

"... Wonderful!" Rabbit gave his back a thumbs up.

Jumping out of the trash can, the rabbit jumped upstairs, only to find that the Ginman was not in the room, and there was the sound of water in the bathroom.Through the frosted glass on the upper part of the bathroom door and the thick water vapor, a vague shadow can be vaguely seen.

The rabbit jumped onto the bed and lay down, with its ears drooping, flapping in boredom, its eyes glanced to the other side of the bed, and accidentally saw a necklace.

The black cross inlaid with emerald beads is adorned on the slender silver chain, with a restrained brilliance, it looks ordinary and expensive.

This necklace was worn by Gin in the first mission world, did he always wear it?

The rabbit stretched out its paws to fish for the necklace, hooked it on the paws, and looked at it.The pendant is heavy, and although the chain is thin, it is also quite heavy, which shows that the materials used are very conscientious.

"Didn't he wear no jewelry?"

Rabbit rested his chin on one paw, his ears bobbed up and down rhythmically, he was so curious about the origin of the chain that he didn't even notice when Gin came to him.

"what are you doing?"

The indifferent voice fell from the top of the head, the rabbit lightened his hand, and immediately hooked the necklace away with one finger.

Its paws subconsciously chased after it, but it was lightly patted off halfway, and someone grabbed the nape of its neck and put it next to the lamp on the bedside counter, watching the chain put back on the gin neck.

The rabbit kicked its hind legs and jumped to Qin Jiu's chest, grabbed the necklace with its front paws, and pulled out the pendant he stuffed under his clothes: "Ah, I think this necklace of yours has a story to tell. speak?"

Gin Jiu was about to go to sleep, but when he heard this, he raised his eyelids lazily: "A souvenir, do you like it? Then I will give it to you."

As he spoke, he was about to take off the necklace.

"Wait!" Rabbit pressed his hand, his jewel-like pupils sparkled, as if he had discovered something interesting, "Souvenir... What do you commemorate? Commemorate the breakup?"

Qin Jiu frowned, and brought it up to his eyes: "Do you like gossip very much?"

"Yes, yes!" Rabbit nodded vigorously, without any intention of hiding.

Gin thoughtfully.

A few seconds later, the rabbit was thrown onto the desk, and a copy of "Book of Changes" that was exchanged for the system with gin was spread out in front of him.

"Look carefully and think carefully." Gin turned off the lights, leaving only one wall lamp adjusted to the lowest brightness, nestled comfortably in the velvet bedding, buried half of his head in the soft pillow, "I'll check tomorrow."

Rabbit looked unrequitedly at the obscure Chinese characters in the book, and after a while, he wiped away his tears in aggrieved manner.

How did it have such a difficult host QAQ?

On the other side, Akai Shuichi returned to Kudo's house and found Toru Amuro and Shinichi Kudo were there. The two were huddled on the sofa and watching the computer screen whispering. The picture from behind was extremely paradoxical.

"What are you doing?"

Putting the key on the top of the shoe cabinet, Akai Shuichi changed into his slippers and walked into the living room, walking around in front of them.

"Looking at the surveillance screen at the entrance of the 'Era Restoration Specialist Internet Cafe'." Toru Amuro didn't lift his head, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "We saw an interesting scene—do you want to see it?"

"You should go back."

Akai Hideichi didn't bother to talk to these two vile friends, went into the kitchen and poured a glass of water, and after taking a sip, he was choked to death by Kudo Shinichi's continuous teasing.

"Do you like that Internet cafe owner?"

Akai Shuichi: "..."

A violent cough came out of the kitchen, and Kudo Shinichi smiled confidently, with a look of complacency on seeing through the truth: "I think your eyes are not right, they are full of affection..."

"You have an elm-headed head and you can still see the affection in other people's eyes?" Akai Shuichi came out of the kitchen, noncommittal to his teasing, just counterattacked casually, "A straight man who is more common in Didan Middle School is also embarrassed to talk to me about affection." , does your little Qingmei agree?"

Hearing this, the pride on Kudo Shinichi's face suddenly turned into embarrassment.

Seeing this, Toru Amuro took the second stick of teasing, relying on his impeccable defense: "Would you like to come and see the way you stare at him in a daze?"

As he said that, he paused the video, cut to the specially edited scene, and then switched the computer to Akai Shuichi.With his movements, the sleeves were lifted up a bit, revealing the black cross on the wrist with a leather strap.

On the screen, the dim light illuminated the swirling rain in the sky. Akai Hideichi stood in the rain and stared fixedly at the boy opposite him. He didn't even answer his farewell words. It wasn't until he entered the room that he came back to his senses .

In the picture, you can't see his eyes clearly, but the trance and nostalgia in his expression can be clearly seen.

Immediately afterwards, the boy opened the window and threw an umbrella for Akai Hideichi.

"Pay it back to me tomorrow."

Akai Hideichi was dazed again because of this short sentence, and Toru Amuro's joking voice sounded at the right time: "This is a short play that was cut out and uploaded to the Internet. No one will doubt it."

"..."

Akai Hideichi smiled, stretched out his hand and tapped the space bar, and replayed the automatically paused video after playing.

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" he asked.

Shin Kudo nodded, Toru Amuro shook his head.

"All love at first sight is just a matter of sight." Amuro smiled lowly, and for some reason, his bright eyes dimmed slightly, "...it's all about face."

"Then you can believe it now." Akai Shuichi didn't notice Amuro Toru's strangeness, because he was also immersed in his own memories, "I really like him."

As soon as these words came out, the two people who had been teasing him widened their eyes in unison. Their reaction was not much less than knowing that the organization headquarters had been blown up to the sky.

"Are you serious?" Kudo Shinichi was shocked for a moment, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"Ah."

Akai Shuichi responded lightly, turned and walked back to the room.

The two people in the rest of the living room looked at each other and exchanged blank glances.

……

Gin is dreaming.

He seldom dreams, especially about the past, probably because the subconscious feels that everything that happened in the past is too boring, so even if there are occasional dream fragments related to the past, they are always just like looking at flowers on horseback and skipping them hastily.

Tonight is different, maybe because he talked about the necklace with Rabbit before going to bed, he dreamed about the origin of this necklace.

It was during a mission in London, Gin sent the daughter of a jewelry designer who was in prison to go abroad as ordered by BOSS.The designer takes this as a condition and takes some of the blame for the organization.

Before he was imprisoned, the last piece of jewelry he designed was a pair of cross pendants, with black agate as the base, black crystal lining and filling patterns, and emerald beads or rubies inlaid at the junction of the cross, so ordinary that there is almost no sense of design.

The pair of pendants was an engagement gift designed by the designer for his daughter and future son-in-law, who was part of a large undercover team and died a few days ago in an explosion of his own making.

Before the designer surrendered, he gave the pendant to Zhu Xingda.

"It's just... a little reward, you can also see it as a gift, thank you for not hurting my daughter," the designer said.

Zhu Xingda accepted the pendant, turned around and went to buy more than a dozen of the same pendants, and told Qin Jiu that this was a token of identity for his own people. At that time, the members of the organization in London had one, and if they wanted Qin Jiu, they would buy it. accept.

"Take it as a souvenir." Zhu Xingda played with the pendant with a half-smile, and a few rays of light refracted by rubies leaked out between his fingers.

Gin put on the one inlaid with emeralds expressionlessly.

Later, many members of the organization died, and several pendants were recycled and reused. Bourbon and Rena Mizumu who came in later got them, but almost no one regarded them as "tokens", and they should have thrown them away now.

Later, most of these pendants disappeared, and their owners died or rebelled, and they were no longer mentioned as the organization collapsed.

Gin is a person who ignores or even hates change, so he has been wearing this one that belongs to him. In fact, he is too lazy to take it off, and he did not throw it away after he came back from the dead. He has the right to leave a commemoration related to the organization.

Speaking of which, this pendant witnessed the death of its two owners, and they died in exactly the same way.On this point alone, it is of great "commemorative" value.

In the dream, the sky in London was gray, and the dense rain blurred the two figures standing opposite each other.

The author has something to say:

This chapter seems to have written about Bai Xue, but it seems that it has not been written (scratching head).

This Qinxiu's past does not follow the original plot line, including changes in the settings of Touzi and other characters, and there are more original plots.
