Chapter 593 Reflection of the past
“Joker!”
“Leader!”
“No, he looks like he can’t hear. What happened suddenly?”
"Maybe it's because the condition is relapsing, I told you, lunar."
"A memory flashback? Or a sudden emotional breakdown..."
Soon, several hands caught Tang Ze who was lying down, trying to regain his attention.
And the voices of these conversations, with distant and hollow echoes, surrounded Tang Ze's ears beyond the noisy sounds, so ethereal that they seemed impossible to touch.
His attention still stayed on the sounds that seemed like auditory hallucinations or some clear playbacks. He tried hard to distinguish the source of each sound, and his uncontrollable anguish gradually disappeared. It infected all his sanity and gave him a splitting headache.
The familiar feeling of anxiety and hyperventilation came over him, but even if his mood fluctuated violently, and no matter how many chaotic movements tried to defeat his reason, Tang Ze still tried hard to maintain his consciousness and did not follow him. This information is full of interference and is not shaken at all.
This is related to his secrets, the secrets of this world, and many plausible truths. He must hold on and grasp the key points...
With his efforts, the messy voice became increasingly louder and louder. As time passed, the fragmented emotions gradually dissociated, and a scene gradually became clear before his eyes.
"Look what I found." The silver-haired man bent down, looked at the child who was stepped on the ground, and raised the corners of his mouth cruelly, "Not even a single feather has grown yet, but I thought I A chick that can escape with treasures.”

“Of course I’ve heard of it, isn’t that what you want Kumail and me to learn from Tang Zezhao? Is there anything you brought back there?" After sorting out the cardboard boxes in his hands, Toru Amuro adjusted his headphones and replied casually, "What, is there anything else that needs to be investigated? I thought you would be more willing to go to Kumel on these topics? Say.”
"Huh." On the other side of the earphones, Gin's distorted sneer came over, "If I could, I wouldn't want to find you."
"Oh? What does it sound like? Only I can do it. It's like a mission." Amuro Toru blinked and put the drink in the foam box without any pause. "Tell me about it."
"You don't need to know that much, and you are not qualified to know. Arrive at the address sent to you within three hours and receive the injection. The next thing has nothing to do with you." Gin rarely was irritated by his dismissive tone and just finished the request in a straightforward manner.
Received the injection, and after asking a confused question about how much he knew about cognitive psychology.
The muscles on Amuro Toru's back slowly tightened, but the words he spoke were only slightly dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, you suddenly asked me to get a needle, but you didn't tell me what it was. It's too much. That’s rude. I thought I was past the point where I still had to take a couple of shots of truth serum from time to time.”
"Since you dare to talk about climbing up, this is the link you can't avoid. What, Bourbon?" Gin leaned back and hid his eyes in the shadow at the top of the windshield, revealing a cruel smile on his lips. , "Are you scared?"
"...So, is it the so-called 'test that must be accepted for promotion' that Belmode mentioned?" Toru Amuro smoothed his hair, and the look on his face His expression was already quite serious, but his tone of voice was still full of smiles, "You can say it directly. Or is it that the fact that I am about to reach a higher place makes you so unhappy?"
"Haha. ." Gin sneered disdainfully at his provocation, not bothering to argue with this guy who was in the limelight recently and was showing off his teeth everywhere, so he just hung up.
To be honest, the organization's power distribution and resource arrangement have little to do with him. They are all practical matters handled by the adult himself.
Whether it is Rum who is greedy and plays dirty tricks all day long, or Bourbon who is eyeing the front and relies on his personal ability to rush to the front, no matter who of them has the last laugh, it all depends on that. An adult's thoughts.
This is not a company based on seniority. The organization is a glacier dormant in the huge black sea. Who can reach the top depends on the adult's thoughts. Those tricks of fighting for power are all trivial things.
Sitting in the passenger seat, not daring to say a word, listening to Gin making several phone calls to arrange work arrangements, it was only then that he finally took a breath.
He thought for a while, picked a question that did not involve core secrets, and asked in a compromise way: "Brother, is it really possible for Bourbon to replace Rum's position?"
Although they are far from Rum's system, no matter how the personnel changes, it will not affect their actions. However, if the person in charge of intelligence really changes from Rum, the person who uploads and distributes the connections, to a new student with tough tactics. In this era, it is likely to become a new unstable factor, which is still worth worrying about.
"Who knows, it has nothing to do with us." Holding a cigarette in his mouth, Gin took out a lighter, looked at the silver metal object in his hand, and commented coldly, "If you say Bourbon is really doing something right, Nothing but keeping Kumel under control."
Being the person in charge of intelligence in an organization means that you must be able to keep secrets in all aspects.
A waste that can be used to dig out secrets by other means is not qualified to become an organization's think tank.
This is why Kumail’s significance is different. He is a better candidate than Curacao. If he can grasp his loyalty, no matter what means he uses, he can probably surpass ten of Rum’s men. waste.
"...It seems that the adult still believes that the cognitive world does exist." Vodka heard the subtext of Gin, and also knew very well how Rum took over the authority of his father and endured it. He kept saying something in a low voice.
"Be careful and don't judge that adult's thoughts unreasonably." Gin lit the cigarette in his mouth and gave Vodka no extra sight, but the other party suddenly became silent.
The cognitive world certainly exists.
Unfortunately, some opportunities are fleeting. They failed to seize the tail of the opportunity 8 years ago. Now, if they want to reversely crack the theory that is almost in the field of mysticism, it is destined to be difficult to reach the sky.
After exhaling a puff of smoke, Gin curled his lips as he watched the gray-white particles disperse in the afternoon sunlight.
But it doesn’t matter, what that adult lacks most is time.

"Is it really okay?" Miyano Akemi reached out and touched Karasawa's still moist cheek, and said worriedly, "Now that we have figured out the route, there are still many opportunities to investigate, so don't force yourself."
"It's really okay." Taking a deep breath, Tang Ze broke away from the support of several teammates, "I was just emotionally affected by the sudden auditory hallucination. Did it scare you?"< br>
"Joker, I haven't heard you mention any signs of a recurrence of your illness recently." Hoshikawa Teru frowned, distrustfully observing Karasawa's condition, "It's because I've been too tired recently. Or did the experience in the American Island cause you stress? "
"It doesn't matter anymore. I understand the source of the stress. Don't worry, I will adjust myself." Tangze shook his head and looked around. He took a circle around countless objects that symbolized time and let out a long breath.
After hallucinations and dreams, and unnecessary emotions, he could no longer deceive himself.
——Perhaps, at this time, he is already a Raider for the second week.
In other words, the save file he inherited was not exactly what he thought. The save file of the game brought from that world also included some things he left behind from "last week's game".
This may be the reason why Lyon is so secretive and can tell himself with such certainty that he is a referee who exists as an "archive".
And just like the previous test results, who will be the person who has the ability to "delete part of Karasawa's memory"?
Karasawa himself!
"Really, either keep all the memories, or delete them completely. I can't explain whether to delete them or not. I have no energy at all squeezing toothpaste here all day long..."
< br>"What did you just say?"
"Nothing. I just feel that this place doesn't look like where we want to go, the bottom floor of the subway." Tangze, who had completely recovered, looked at it naturally He said to his teammates who were still tentatively bumping around, "Anyway, Ark, since you've walked in, you should be able to sense the map situation, right?"
"Well, the recording has been completed. There are no traces of hostile creatures, and it looks like an empty room." Noah silently scanned the surroundings with his green eyes and nodded with confidence.
“If you don’t understand the research, then talk about it slowly. There are so many things that you can’t understand in cognitive studies. We have walked so far in one breath today and it’s been very hard for everyone. Let’s go back first?” Tang Ze nodded and made a decision.
It seemed that Karasawa really needed a break. The others exchanged glances silently and naturally had no objections.
After several people took a final detour to check the empty room, they stood back in the elevator car where they came from, waiting for Tangze, who had the authority, to come in and operate the buttons.
At the last moment when he entered the elevator, a final auditory hallucination, like a small sigh, passed through Tang Ze's ears.
"Lilith, tell me, am I completely wrong from the beginning?"
The reflection of the past passed over him again.
Tangze's footsteps paused imperceptibly, and he walked straight into the elevator without looking back.
No matter what happened, since you have chosen to roll back and reopen, it means that you have experienced irreparable losses and regrets.
Don’t bring out the past frustrations that belong to losers to cause trouble.
Be quiet.

“The flower viewing party organized by the rice flower shop? Is it already time to enjoy the cherry blossoms?”
“Yes, Karasawa, you haven’t been here long and you may not know this. , the merchants here often invite neighbors and regular customers to go out to enjoy the cherry blossoms. This is not only for publicity and bonding, but also a good advertising opportunity." Azusa Enomoto happily put the quick meal trays for delivery in the box. "Everyone. Each store will bring some of its own products, and we will all go there. It’s very lively.”
“Tomorrow?” Tangze glanced at Toru Amuro, who was sitting at the bar, and naturally stood beside him. He sat down and said, "Count me in then."
"Yeah! That's a deal!"
Azusa Enomoto nodded excitedly and turned to prepare other things that were easy to carry. When Karasawa saw her returning to the kitchen, he stretched his head and glanced at the arm that Toru Amuro had been staring at.
It was a blood spot caused by an injection needle. It was not obvious on his wheat-colored skin, but it was very eye-catching.
"Mr. Amuro, although Bermod said that this kind of injection is not dangerous, it is still too risky." He strongly disagreed, Karasawa frowned, "With the organization's current position in medicine, With their research strength, it’s too easy for them to do anything.”
“It’s okay, I don’t feel anything.” Toru Amuro put down his rolled-up cuffs and said in a very confident tone, “I have also taken some detoxification in advance. Drugs are not risky."
As he spoke, he glanced at Tang Ze's face, picked up the coffee at hand, and swallowed the rest of the words.
It should be said that this was one of the reasons why he did not handcuff the person directly after confirming Tang Ze's identity.
With the help of the information Karasawa continued to share, and the research results left by Futo Kyosuke and related chains, he was not helpless in the face of the organization's possible drug control methods.
No matter what plan Karasawa, who has multiple identities, wants to use each identity to make, he is sparing no effort to support them. As the beneficiary, Rei Fukiya has no position to blame him. hide.
Although he maintains provocation in words, joker has actually reached cooperation with them, which is also true.
"Even so..." Tangze shook his head helplessly, "That is also a very risky move. I was really shocked when I saw you sending a message saying what you were going to do."
If it weren't for Toru Amuro's health bar being fine after he clicked Team Up and no strange debuff appeared, Karasawa wouldn't be sitting here talking so calmly right now, and he would have been thinking about how to knock him out. Drag them to 2-chome to show Haibara Ai and others the situation.
If the situation is more serious, he will simply consider taking the person directly to the cognitive world and try to transfer the debuff, or simply kill him and resurrect him to try to refresh the status.
Things have to be prioritized. If there is any situation that endangers Coop's life, Tang Ze will not hesitate to abandon this layer of reality, not to mention the awkwardness of covering up his vest. .
The big deal is that the society dies, which is not a big problem.
"Who knows, just keep an eye on it." Toru Amuro shook the coffee cup in his hand, watching the crumbled latte art on the surface slowly lose its shape, and said calmly, " Even if there is any danger, what should be done should be done. This is the meaning of our existence. ”
With Gin personally watching him receive the injection, without being completely sure that he could deceive the other party, the only option he could choose was to receive the injection.
Even if the organization really has doubts about his identity, as long as it has not reached the moment of exposure, it is his greatest responsibility to play his current role perfectly, and there is no room for any doubts or shrinkage.
A person who is not mentally strong enough will be excluded from undercover missions during the screening stage. Undercover agents who can move forward in criminal organizations can only rely on their own inner strength.
And it is precisely because of the lack of these that Jianggu Ling can reach today.
Tangze poured himself a cup of coffee, looked at the warm mist rising from the coffee, and sighed silently.
In fact, he probably has some ideas about what the organization is doing.
It was precisely because of this speculation that he wanted to sigh very much.
Based on what Gin said to Tohru Amuro, this so-called procedure is an effective means to "ensure that members who may have access to core secrets can keep the secrets."
Although the fact that "the organization can keep secrets" sounds like a joke, when this issue is mentioned, Dynamax Gin's casserole-sized fist will start to replay before his eyes.
The case has been solved. It seems that Gin is really a mechanism in the palace of every core member of the organization, and it is a sentinel that will be sent to you as long as you are ready to come into contact with the real secret.
You really should let the bastard who does this kind of work go to the world and see what the hell he has done!
And really, your organization only has gin left to use, and you really have to work overtime all year round, right?
Speaking of this indescribable divine design, how is it accomplished? Is it possible to draw a tube of gin's blood and extract the serum to give to others? So magical?
Would it be useful to give Amuro Tohru a tube of his own serum now? Can it block the effect of that medicine?
He still likes the cinema in Fangtani Rei. Going back feels like going home. I really don’t want to see any weird gin there!
"Stop talking about me, take a look at yourself first." Amuro squinted her eyes and stared at Tang Ze faintly, "You made quite a fuss last time, and this time it got even worse... If we hadn't been in time... After clearing all traces of what happened after you landed on the island, you may be directly held accountable this time.”
Although before Karasawa set off, he did not realize that this island was actually related to the organization. , but no matter what, when Yuya Kazami, who was full of prejudgment, came to him with the photos taken by tourists of Karasawa hanging in the waterfall, his blood pressure still shot up.
If there is any harm in discovering Tangze's new identity, it is that their workload of wiping their butts has increased again.
As long as Karasawa stayed on the island, the members of Team Zero stayed in the office, dealing with media and information everywhere, as busy as a public relations team covering up scandals for celebrities.
"I think you should stop traveling casually." Toru Amuro said with finality, "It's time to inform Kazami that you can't just use the application by yourself."
"Ah? Don't, I just -"
"Protest is invalid."
"Mr. Amuro, don't go, Mr. Amuro, I was wrong, I will pay attention next time Safe, Mr. Amuro——"
