Chapter 690 "The Hanged Man"
"Hey, hey, hey, you have something to say, you have something to say, don't pull your hair!" Tang Ze, who was holding his head and squatting in defense, shouted.
"You have the nerve to say...!" He hit Tang Ze on the head twice more, and Jiang Guling, who had just been a little relieved, felt a little angry again.
I wasn’t too embarrassed to hit someone hard, but I was a little angry, so I followed Rei Fukutani and pressed Karasawa’s head twice. I thought of what Karasawa told him about how they completed the miracle of resurrection. Things become more and more dumbfounding.
The scene just now was so similar to the time when Zhufu Jingguang himself died, so similar that it was difficult to regard Karasawa's sudden action as a mere coincidence.
"You..." Zhu Fu Jingguang hesitated for a moment, glanced at Jian Gu Ling's face, and asked the question that immediately came to his mind, "Do you know Lai?"
Tang Ze, who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands and being punched, paused, his eyes wandering wildly.
It should be said that when he saw Zhu Fu Jingguang approaching from another angle and Fang Gu Ling standing in front of him with a gun raised, he suddenly had an idea and thought of such an unethical method of creating people. The fundamental reason is that this.
Zhu Fu Jingguang stood up straight, looked down at Tang Ze who refused to raise his head, and said seriously: "As for how I died... Since you have never asked zero about anything related to me. Then you must have other channels to understand."
Jiang Guling was stunned, released his hand holding Tang Ze, and looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang's face: "What do you mean?"< br>
He lowered his head, looked at the revolver that fell to the ground, and then looked at the bullet hole that had penetrated Tang Ze's chest and was embedded in the wall behind him. He was in a daze for a moment, and finally slowly understood what Tang Ze had done before.
Karasawa is recreating the scene of Kage's death... and it is a complete "reenactment".
In other words, he thought that Jing, who was shot by Rye Whiskey on the rooftop, actually committed suicide.
Zhu Fu Jingguang touched his nose, thinking of the issue that Tang Ze had promised to keep confidential, and did not explain his reasoning process in detail.
When he woke up and slowly understood what had happened in the past three years, he found a very detailed investigation information about himself in Xingchuan Hui's computer.
This information was very detailed and even included many memories that he might have forgotten. Zhu Fu Jingguang was very surprised when he saw it.
He asked Xingchuan Hui and got vague conditions on how to bring him back from the dead.
“These are the investigations we have done in recent days... You will be the first to be resurrected, firstly because in the mind of Mr. Fukiya Rei, your death may be the most regrettable one, and secondly "That's right," Xingchuan Hui scratched his face and tried his best to explain tactfully, "your life information is the easiest for the leader to collect."
If you want to resurrect a person who is definitely dead, you can. It requires not only the special power itself, but also enough data and information about the person himself to ensure that the person can be accurately found from the vortex of death and brought back to reality.
Kansawa not only has contact with the police because of his identity as a detective, but also because of his identity as an undercover agent, he can legitimately obtain information about Scotland from the organization, and he also has a cross-era functional assistant like Noah's Ark. Taking into account many aspects, the one that is easiest for him to recognize and understand thoroughly is Zhu Fu Jingguang.
And just now, Tang Ze's reenactment of the past reminded him of a detail - Tang Ze knew that he committed suicide.
To be precise, since waking up, Tang Ze has always emphasized that he admires Zhu Fu Jingguang's courage to die resolutely in order to save his family and comrades.
But in this matter, since even Zero, who witnessed all this from the side, misunderstood, and Rai, who needed to hide his identity at that time, was even less likely to explain the real cause of his death to anyone... So Karasawa , where did you know about this?
"Well, I have met and contacted him, so it can be regarded as..." Tangze boldly admitted the matter in front of Fang Gu Ling, and then couldn't help but tighten his grip even more. The hands holding the head.
Didn't dare to look, didn't dare to look at Jiang Gu Ling's expression at all. He was afraid that when he looked up, he would be frightened to death by the resentful male ghost.
"...So, what do you mean..."
Jianggu Ling, whose face turned completely dark now, began to grind his molars again while speaking.
He had already vaguely guessed that the two guys in front of him were hesitating to speak and wanted to say something, and because of the truth that was about to come out, he felt that he had finally calmed down a little. The fluctuations began.
Ah, I got all the anger I should have had in a year in one day! How did he get to know such a bunch of guys!
"Well, Senior Zhufu, he is actually..." Tang Ze raised his head carefully, peeking at Feng Gu Ling's face through the gap between his bangs, thinking about what words to use, trying to be as accurate as possible And explain this matter tactfully.
Zhu Fu Jingguang took a breath, took a step forward, and took the initiative to speak: "He means that three years ago, I chose to commit suicide in order to complete what I should do and to protect what I should protect."< br>
While he was speaking, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the warheads on the wall.
Karasawa has unimaginable power and can create miracles beyond reality, but his "immortality" seems to be closer to a kind of "rapid healing" in nature, rather than truly ignoring the injury itself. .
The bullet head half embedded in the wall was obviously stained with blood.
“It’s like this.” Zhu Fu Jingguang pointed to the position of the bullet, and then pointed to his heart, “In other words, it was not a choice to commit suicide, but a matter of suicide before being captured by the enemy. , destroy the last data.”
If he had a choice, he would be willing to believe in Zero, and he would be willing to believe that with his mediation or handling, he could escape...
It was precisely because he knew the dangerous situation of being an undercover agent that he could not let Zero Take the same risk.
Three years ago, they were no better than they are today. Zero at that time had a far lower status in the organization than he does now. The few people who were newly given code names were just weak new forces in the long history of the organization. , if they make the slightest mistake, their efforts over the past few years, all the prices they have paid, and all the bottom lines they have sacrificed will be in vain.
So, the moment he heard Zero's footsteps approaching, and the moment Rai was distracted by another person who was about to arrive at the scene, he grabbed the gun and made the final choice.
It seems that he is not confident enough, and he seems to lack trust in Jianggu Zero, but this is what an undercover agent should do.
Presumably, Zero can understand him, right?
Zhu Fu Jingguang thought like this and looked at Jiang Gu Ling who was standing opposite.
As soon as he turned his head, what he saw face to face was Fang Gu Ling's fist that was about to hit his face again.
"I told you, you really don't make people worry!"
"Hey, hey, there's nothing I can do..."
"Hey, let me know before the fight. There is someone on the ground!"
"Don't run away either! When did you investigate this matter, and when did you come into contact with Rai? Tell the truth! "
"Wow, Mr. Fangtani, are you sure you want to fight one against two?"
"Who wants to fight one against two with you? You haven't finished the scary thing just now. Where is the account..."
"It's very unattractive to talk like this while being chased, Senior Zhufu..."
"Where are you running! Come back here! Clean up the bloody bullet first!"
"It doesn't matter, that's a blood pack——"
"Huh? You still have it Are you ready?"
"Ah, you have something to say, Mr. Fangtani, don't slap him in the face!"
"Hiro, don't run away! , you have to send this guy for examination first!”
"Don't-"
Well, the beating seemed to be very intense.
That’s good, give the leader a few more punches, he’s really a guy who deserves a beating.
Next to the white Mazda, Noah, half of his head exposed outside the zipper, looked back faintly.
He hugged Karasawa's cell phone, which was a bit too big for him, with both hands, slowly crawled back into his commuter bag, and brought up the Kaitou Line interface.
Then without mercy, he sent all the content he shot and recorded into the group messages.
[Ark: [Video Message]]
[Ark: [Picture Message]]
[Ark: Sister Mingmei! Xingchuan! Look at him! Karasawa shot himself with a gun again——】
————"Karasawa asked for leave?" Suzuki Sonoko looked at the empty seat in front of her in surprise, and approached her best friend, "Are you sick? Are you sick?" It seems to be the first time.”
Karasawa, maybe because of his previous experiences, seems to cherish his student life.
Even though my academic performance is average and I was ostracized in the class before. Apart from Teacher Judy, I don’t have any teachers I know well, but I almost never miss class no matter how hard it rains.
This is true even when traveling with them and encountering various personal dangers. He can be said to be a role model for Emperor Dan regardless of weather conditions.
"Well, Mr. Amuro asked me to bring a note of leave to the homeroom teacher this morning. It seemed to mean that he found out that Karasawa had never gone to the hospital for a review since he came to Tokyo. He had also met Dr. Fudo when he went to the hospital before. Kind of... so he's a little worried about Tang Ze's physical condition." Mao Lilan nodded her cheek and replied uncertainly, "Maybe, there's nothing wrong with it, right?"
"Yes, Karasawa is still a patient with mental illness. He should go to the psychotherapy department for regular check-ups." Suzuki Sonoko smacked her palms, suddenly feeling worried.
A patient with a long-term chronic disease just went to the hospital and met a scumbag like Futo Kyousuke. Will it affect his subsequent treatment...
"I heard "The psychiatrist who is coming soon is a doctor with a high level of professionalism and good reviews. Otherwise, why don't you ask Tang Zeduo to go to the psychological consultation room to chat?" Mao Lilan, who has not given up on her dream of being a psychological committee member, suggested.
"Sounds good. Hey, tell me, should I also add a few donation items to treat children's mental illness or something..."
"Goodbye, goodbye Ba Yuanzi, I see that your foundation has already been involved in three or four fields. Wouldn’t your father have any objections to expanding the scale?”
"It's okay. The plan Tangze gave me was very useful. Dad and the others said that it really solved tax problems for many subsidiaries. Let's start with autism-related projects..."

“Ding dong——”
Xingchuan Hui, who was passing by the entrance, heard the sound of the doorbell, glanced at the intercom, and frowned.
He first turned on his cell phone and asked Noah to confirm that Tohru Amuro was not nearby, then he opened the door with doubt, stuck his head out, and looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang standing at the door.
"Mr. Zhufu, you are back."
Zhufu Jingguang, who was slightly surprised by his choice of words, was instinctively stunned.
Although neither he, Zero, nor Karasawa himself knew the final choice he needed to make, this was something that had not been officially stated after all.
However, the members of the Phantom Thieves seemed to have acquiesced in his joining, and they completely welcomed their companions back.
It seems that in the past two days, he was not learning about the current situation from various aspects, nor was he making a choice for his whereabouts. He was just leaving briefly to deal with some personal matters.
He uneasily pulled off the bass bag strap on his shoulder, but he couldn't help but feel touched.
"Uh...well. I, I'm back." A little unfamiliar, he said this sentence that he had not used for many years.
After saying this, he felt an unspeakable sense of relaxation and inevitable sadness.
Six years ago, since he chose this path, no, more accurately, earlier, since he left his hometown early due to family changes and accepted the care of relatives, this sentence The words are getting more and more unfamiliar.
In the past, he was a homeless child, but now, he is a shadow who has a home and cannot return.
His current situation may only be more difficult than before...but perhaps, he is still not alone this time.
"You and Sister Mingmei will get the key later." Xingchuan Hui, who had stayed up all night, yawned and led him towards the restaurant while saying casually, "Your room is in In the corridor at the back of the building, Sister Junhui will help you clean up a room. If you are not satisfied, you can find a vacant room to change. If you need any equipment, please ask Sister Mingmei. Enter the gun storage through the garage at the back. Do not enter the basement of the main building. Miss Shiho can bite people..."
Hoshikawa Teru told Karasawa's instructions step by step, and Morofuku Jingguang, who was following him, was stunned.
"Um..." When Xingchuan Hui finished pouring the beans and picked up the water glass to drink, Zhu Fu Jingguang raised his hand a little embarrassed, "Let me join in, there is no need for anything else. Is there a requirement? Or don’t you need to say hello to others? I thought your recruitment principles were very strict, maybe a little strict.” His eyes when he returned were somewhat probing, "The next words are not what the leader meant, but I think I should tell you. We have only one standard, and that is Tangze's wishes."
"Tang Ze's, are you willing..." Zhu Fu Jingguang raised his eyebrows.
"He needs the Phantom Thieves, so the Phantom Thieves exist. He wants to help Mr. Rei Furitani, and he wants to prepare all the power to fight against the organization. He wants to do many things..." Hoshikawa Teru turned his head, The dark temperament that was difficult to conceal came out with his serious expression, "You don't need the consent of others. Be his helper and be accepted by him. This is the only criterion."
"You all I trust him a lot." Undeterred by Xingchuan Hui's gloomy state, Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled, "They are also very powerful, and they are powerful enough to threaten those guys."
"Maybe. "Shrugging, Xingchuan Hui pointed to the reception room behind the restaurant, "The leader is waiting for you over there. If you have any questions, just ask him directly."
Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded and walked around. Then Xingchuan Hui, who started to yawn again, walked towards the reception room behind him.
As he walked, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
Why do you need to find someone to convey the message and design a special meeting session? Is this a special sense of ritual?
He walked into the door of the reception room slightly confused, and then froze on the spot.
Tangze, who had a bunch of graffiti drawn on his face and it was obvious that his whole face was a little swollen, held his chin and sat on the sofa in a daze.
"What are you...?" Zhu Fu Jingguang instinctively wanted to laugh, looking at Tang Ze's resentful eyes, he tried hard to control his facial muscles.
"It's nothing, I deserve it." Tang Ze, who had been tortured for a day and had to miss work, replied numbly.
Really, didn’t you just play some quick replies, get a little skinny, and help your cousin get a clarification shot by the way? Why are two of them so excessive...
"What about you, have you made a decision?" Trying to ignore the graffiti on his face, Tang Ze turned his head and looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang, "Have you made a decision?" Want to stay and become one of us? "
"...haven't you already prepared for this?" Zhu Fu Jingguang laughed, "Otherwise, you don't have to tell me that. Detailed situation. "
Tangze's honesty can be regarded as sincerity to him, or in other words, the calmness of not wanting to hide Zero can also be regarded as an irresistible invitation.
After accepting such a heavy truth, according to Zhu Fu Jingguang's character, it was absolutely impossible for him to sit back and watch others struggle for this difficult road and for his other friends, while he watched from the other side and enjoyed the results.
Tangze must have known this clearly during the investigation of him.
"Please give me more advice. My name is Zhu Fu Jingguang, and I used to be a policeman."
"You're welcome, senior, please give me more advice."
In them The moment their hands touched, Leon's magnetic voice filled Tangze's eardrums.
"I am you...you are me..."
"You have gained a new contract here"
…………
"I, the Hanged Man The first birth of the mask is bathed in the wind of blessings"
"For more help to fly to the end..."
An interface popped up in front of Tangze.
