Chapter 444 Embrace the past and welcome the new life
"Keep in constant contact with the target and be careful to prevent similar situations from happening." Toru Amuro, who was talking to the other end of the phone, saw Karasawa walking down from the attic step by step. , made a gesture, and continued, "If this does involve our investigation work, they always have to exchange information and show off their results. That's it, contact us again if you have anything."
Tokyo The recent security situation has obviously improved. Why is it still like finding a needle in a haystack to find a few people who are making trouble?
Is it still a problem that there are too many cases and it is difficult to sort through?
It makes sense to think about it. The fact that police and detectives have become so famous does not necessarily explain the high crime rate...
I really can’t figure out why Tokyo has become like this...
Toru Amuro, who was busy worrying about the country and the people, did not forget to greet Karasawa, who was walking slowly like a wandering spirit.
"Didn't you say you were tired from the past two days and needed a rest?" Toru Amuro glanced at the time display on his phone. From the time Karasawa returned to the cafe and went upstairs to sleep, to the time he walked down again , it was only an hour after all the calculations, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"Can't sleep anymore." Finding a seat for himself at the bar, Tangze held his head, feeling weak even when he spoke. of.
It’s really hard to fall asleep.
The problem was not solved, so he listened to a lot of riddles and let it go. Then suddenly he was hit with a combo of moves that would increase the COOP and pierce his psychology. A set of moves that eliminated and defeated him smoothly. Waiting for Tang Ze to react. At that moment, he ran out of the bar as if he was running away, fell on the bed in the attic and stared at the ceiling, unable to recover.
“This happens when the biological clock is too chaotic.” Toru Amuro gave his experience, “Drinking some coffee and staying up until the night before sleeping well will also help regulate your work and rest.”
"Give me some..." Waving his hand, Karasawa watched Toru Amuro pick up the coffee pot and pour it out. He even omitted the part where he protested that he didn't add sugar. He quietly picked up the cup and took a sip. Nothing happened. Added American style.
Karasawa does have a sweet tooth, but it's not entirely a matter of taste.
After retiring in his previous life, due to physical limitations, the recipes he could choose were very narrow. The caregivers would not let him touch high-sweet and high-calorie foods. Now he has the opportunity to experience a young and healthy body. , wouldn’t it be a big loss not to make up for those things?
But today, he wanted to experience the bitterness directly, which would help him feel a little clearer.
He really didn’t add any sugar, and Toru Amuro was surprised.
"What's going on? Things are not going well?" After guessing Karasawa's state, Toru Amuro had some doubts.
When I saw him returning to the cafe, he was still in good condition. Why did he become autistic after sleeping for an hour?
"Put the investigation aside in advance..." Karasawa took a deep breath and turned the cup in his hand. Leon's laughter replayed in his mind, "I have encountered a little trouble recently, Mr. Amuro. I’d like to ask your opinion.”
"It's rare that you ask me for my opinion. Tell me, what's the problem?" Toru Amuro raised his eyebrows, put down what he was wiping, and walked up to Karasawa.
Generally speaking, this damn boy makes his own decisions first. If he remembers to inform them after the arrangement is over, it is considered a conscience discovery...
As for life talks and the like Yes, he is usually the one who gives opinions. I have never seen Tang Ze fall into confusion.
Seeing Toru Amuro's expression of full interest, Karasawa cursed in his heart.
Why does his co-op seem to have this style of painting? Everyone is happy to see his frustrated look...
Karasawa, who had no idea how much fun he had made and how much fun he had watched others have, while making childish comments, asked his own question: "If, I mean if, if If you didn't know me and didn't meet me, you would have embarked on a completely different path than you are now...Do you think your destiny has been changed by me?"
"What kind of strange assumption is this? "Amuro Toru dropped the cup and cloth in his hand in a funny way, "Did you see something strange again, or had another strange dream?"
"Why did you use 'again?' '?" Tang Ze frowned and raised his head with caution, "I haven't had a similar situation many times, have I? "
Did I misunderstand his character again? Or is it that Toru Amuro got some extra information? He probably didn't reveal anything wrong in the conversation, right?
Karasawa was still secretly alert, and Toru Amuro patted him on the shoulder in a funny way.
"You always seem to have some inexplicable thoughts and problems... I don't know if I should call your situation a psychological problem." Recalling their past conversations, Toru Amuro shook his head, "Only this Sometimes, I have the feeling that you are really not very mature yet.”
Being sophisticated and spicy is certainly an advantage at work, but when this word is applied to people of Karasawa’s age, He always couldn't help but worry about what kind of bad environment and pressure could create such a character and style.
Too skillful, so skillful that it’s scary.
So, Toru Amuro always feels relieved every time he hears this type of thinking about life from Karasawa.
It's good that there's still time, there's still time to correct his thoughts, there's still time to communicate your own opinions, and there's a chance to change the sharp parts of his character that will lead to a dead end, that's a good thing.
"As for your question, to be honest, I also had some when I was your age. Some strange worries, such as, could it be that I made a decision today, and it flapped like butterfly wings, and within a hundred The world will be destroyed in the future." With a sense of nostalgia, Toru Amuro laughed, "Everyone has gone through this stage, right?"
"I'm not suffering from chuunibyou, Amuro. Sir, I am seriously troubled." Hearing his teasing intention, Tang Ze rolled his eyelids, "What if, a few years later, you discover that one of your past choices has inadvertently killed someone? , or changed other people's lives... Aren't you disturbed by this? "
"I can't tell." Holding her chin, Toru Amuro walked out from behind the bar and walked around Karasawa. After half a circle, "You are actually the kind of cautious person who would be afraid of such things...are you?"
"What kind of evaluation is this? I think I have always been very considerate in doing things. !" Tang Ze protested with his eyes widened.
"Yes, that's too thoughtful. Oh, if you put it this way, I understand." Turning to the bar, Amuro Toru sat down on the seat next to Karasawa, "Your question is indeed It’s been around for a long time.”
Karasawa rolled his eyes, with an expression like "I'll see what you're going to do," waiting for Toru Amuro's next words.
“You have a very strange sense of anxiety about wanting to control the development of events. Of course, I am not accusing you of wanting to control things that are beyond your ability...I just want to say that you At this time, there will be a strange arrogance."
Thinking of all the previous experiences, Toru Amuro couldn't help but feel like sighing.
"You may indeed have your own advantages in mastering information..."
——This can be seen from what happened to Cangqiao last time. Tang Ze's acumen has reached a very high level. It was an exaggeration. Kurahashi, who had been with them for several years without any problems being discovered, was exposed by Karasawa in a short meeting.
"But this advantage becomes an obstacle when you make new plans. You know too much, you see too much, and you take it for granted that you, who know more than anyone else, have the power to You must be infinitely responsible for your own decisions."
Amuro Toru's eyes softened.
Tangze is a very responsible person. This is undoubtedly a good quality. In this era where everyone is afraid of becoming a decision-maker and has to be responsible for their own decisions, people like him who think it is their responsibility because they have learned deeper information are very rare. of.
Not knowing that he had really hit the mark on Karasawa's real troubles in a sense, Toru Amuro said to the point: "We will treat it as if every decision you make is for a grand goal, for Save some people... You can think of yourself as a first-aid doctor with superb medical skills.
"First of all, healthy people will not send first aid. You are here to save people. Without you. , things will only get worse; a medical decision you make now may indeed affect his quality of life ten years later, but you should not be blamed in any way. Your intentions were good, and you did everything you could. Even if there were oversights and imperfections, limited by the urgency of the situation and the limitations of your actions, that was the best policy you could come up with at the time. . ”
After being stunned for a moment, Tang Ze opened his mouth, not knowing where to start.
This theory may be effective when applied to other people, but he is different. He knows the original fate of these people.
"...For example," without directly commenting on Tohru Amuro's point of view, Karasawa returned to his original question, "Without my presence, you would not have been temporarily transferred by the organization. Tokyo, then all the troubles caused by me will cease to exist.”
Not only the trouble with Karasawa... but also the Phantom Thief of Heart.
This secret, which represents the core strength of Karasawa, is only known to this day by his team members and Kidd, a non-staff member, and he does not intend to disclose it to others for the time being.
Each of his identities brings new influences and changes to his co-op. This is a fact that cannot be ignored.
"Let it be so. But those people who survived because of your efforts, won't they also cease to exist?" Toru Amuro answered with a relaxed expression as he poured himself a cup of coffee. . "But I have indeed affected the future of many people." Looking at the black coffee in his cup, Tang Ze took a breath and looked at the liquid level that was rippled by his blow. "The more I want to do, the more I want to do." The more changes there are, the greater the impact will be... Laugh if you like, just think that I am asking for trouble."
"You are indeed asking for trouble. Trouble. So, you are really an arrogant guy." Hitting Karasawa's arm with the iced coffee in his hand, Toru Amuro shook his head, "While you are changing the fate of others, you are not changing your own. If you hadn’t met me, hadn’t come to Tokyo, and hadn’t known everyone, would you still be who you are now?”
Karazawa turned his head and looked at Amuro Toru’s relaxed expression. The guarded body language, the first time he stood in front of Toru Amuro as Kumail, the drizzling late night, flashed back quickly in front of his eyes.
Is it possible, if I had never experienced getting along with Toru Amuro, would I have made that choice? Confess part of his plan, and talk about the past and future with the "plot characters" he previously thought of in a candid manner...
"You see, you also know the answer." Flashing from Karasawa His hesitation could be seen in his eyes, and Toru Amuro couldn't help but feel funny, "Haven't you ever learned this basic concept, 'the action of force is mutual'? Just treat your self-righteous thoughts as true, and you can change and It affects the fate of others, but what about your own? "
Hearing this comment that was similar to Leon's, Tang Ze opened his mouth and fell silent again. .
"And, no matter what others may think, I am very grateful to you." Pushing the coffee cup in his hand, Toru Amuro gently clinked the cup with him.
"Thank you, thank you for what?" Tangze, who was thinking, was amused by his words, "I seem to be bringing you new troubles, right?"
"Thank you for everything you have done to destroy the organization." Shaking his head, Toru Amuro said, "Your existence itself, you used various techniques and lies to not only break away from the haze of the organization, but even organize the power to fight back against the matter itself , is the best blow to the organization.”
“...So, it’s out of gratitude for a reliable colleague?”
“Having a fellow traveler who can communicate candidly. This is something to be grateful for." Toru Amuro lowered his eyes, "I have had such like-minded friends in the past...but when doing this kind of work, it is inevitable to face the worst ending."
< br>Tangze was stunned for a moment, and almost instantly realized who he was talking about.
"Is your friend also an undercover senior?" Knowing what Toru Amuro was describing, Karasawa lowered his voice, "Sacrificed?"
Taking a sip of coffee, Toru Amuro responded to this question with a brief silence.
He lowered his eyes, his eyes flashing as he was caught in memories, obviously remembering a lot of things.
Yes, sacrifice...
Tangze turned his head and took a big sip of ice-cold coffee. A familiar and clear face also appeared in front of his eyes.
A face that he thought he was about to blur out.
It's too bad. No matter where he traveled through time, it would be fine. He has found his health, his spirit and his vitality... that's the only thing.
His memory has become clearer and clearer. Whenever he tries to recall, those clear pictures will come to his mind again and again.
——This was first revealed when he first awakened. After so many years of cultivation, he thought he had long forgotten the pain caused by that torture.
This unforgettable feeling is indeed not that pleasant.
Who told him to be Tang Zezhao now? Like the child, he has lost the ability to self-hypnotize and forget.
Toru Amuro is right, having a like-minded friend... is something worthy of gratitude.
Even if everything comes to the worst ending, even if he falls into the worst situation because of the other party's carelessness and mistakes, he still can't completely blame the other party...
"I understand." Karasawa said a few short sentences, and bumped the cup in his hand against Toru Amuro's, in reply, "I have a strange idea, I still have to ask for more advice, senior . "
"...It's okay if you don't call me senior." Amuro Toru twitched the corner of her mouth and raised her cup to clink a cup with him.
Two glasses filled with iced coffee made a crisp sound when they collided.
The same crisp cracking sound clearly indicated the outcome of this conversation.
【rankup! Rank3]
[coop - Destiny Shift 1st]
[You are confused and alert, walking into a strange world, everything you are familiar with will make you feel... An unfamiliar face...
This is why a fool needs a guide on his journey.
The magician with arcana number 1 is the beginning of your journey, your first friend, and your brightest mirror. He sees his own reflection in you, and you find in him your former longing.

The pain and past that have settled into the background still need to be sharpened and sharpened. You see in him a tough self that has not been swallowed up and bent by pain, so you finally understand...< br>
What can you do for this world.
This is the intersection between you and the magician - embracing the old and welcoming the new. 】
"You really can't wait to teach me a lesson..." He took back his hand and brought the coffee to his mouth. Tangze poured a small amount of coffee into his mouth while mumbling with gritted teeth.
Just as he was talking about why his coop was so slow to upgrade... I showed him the real reasons.
It’s all your fault for being blindfolded and speaking harshly, is that what you mean, right?
Leon, you stupid planner, I have recorded this account.
“What are you mumbling about again?” Not knowing what an extraordinary attack he had just caused, Toru Amuro looked at Karasawa’s expression returning to normal and asked uneasily, “Isn’t it again? Did you have any weird thoughts?”
"I'm talking..." Karasawa took a deep breath, "It's too bitter, this coffee!"
"I won't give it to you." Toru Amuro pushed the sugar bowl at his side to the other end of the countertop, and displayed it clearly. position.
“I was too sleepy just now to react!” Tangze protested, “Isn’t it too much to not even give you a piece?”
“The goods have already left the cabinet, so there is no way for me to react. Take responsibility." Toru Amuro drank his share with a smile, "It's too late to regret it now."
Hearing this familiar sentence again, Tang Ze gritted his teeth: "...It's really disgusting. Ah, you!”
Okay, isn't it just a little late to wake up? There is no need to beat him repeatedly like this!
Whenever I write about Toru Amuro’s coop, I get stuck on [Oxygen Inhalation]
The real reason why the coop rose slowly before - Karasawa is being stubborn!
