Chapter 884 Proof of Effort
"So, is my guess during the day correct? Regarding the so-called 'fate deviation'."
Almost pushing open the door of the Velvet Bar At that moment, Tang Ze directly asked his question.
Leon, who was standing at the bar wiping his wine glass, looked at him and showed a slightly helpless smile: "Why ask even though you know everything? You have already reached a conclusion and you don't need me to give you an answer."
"No, I just think that you, Velvet Assistant, have somewhat neglected your duty." Tangze folded his arms and condemned unceremoniously, "I know that there are many things that you can't tell me directly, because Velvet The assistant is just a witness to the rebirth. You cannot interfere with the progress of the situation based on your own preferences, but you are an exception, a special situation. I don't see any strange old man with a long nose here... What is the meaning of being the Riddler? Where.”
According to Karasawa's understanding of the P series, the velvet dwellers of the P series are existences constructed from gazes from another level. Although they also have self-awareness and their own joys and sorrows, they are not the same as the real humans living in the world. It's different.
Because they focus on being a companion, the effect achieved is the Riddler state where he seems to understand a little but says nothing.
Like him, an old man with a long nose who can chase him out without waving his hand and chasing his assistant all day long to ask about the basic settings of the world is probably a very rare special case. However, because of this It was a special case, and Tang Ze was dissatisfied with Leon's concealment.
"You are not a serious assistant at all, okay." Tangze sighed greatly, "I am not blind. No matter how you look at it, you have the same hair color, different eye colors, and different facial features. Not too much, myself. Not in the abstract sense, I mean, you are really myself.”
In the past, Lyon said that. Similar to the description, the phrase "I am you, you are me" mixed in the P series seems to mean "self" in a psychological sense, but as I said before, first of all, if you are a serious person in Lyon Velvet Assistant, no matter how you think about his assistant, even if she is not a silver-haired little lolita like the original, she should be a big sister. It is unlikely that such a situation will happen.
Secondly, Leon’s face looks so much like Karasawa.
Due to his appearance, hair color and bones, Leon’s appearance is a little closer to that of a Caucasian than Karasawa himself, who is of mixed race. His short golden hair and golden eyes make him look a little bit more like a Caucasian. The pigment seems to be very light, and it is not easy to see the similarity with Karasawa who clearly has Asian characteristics at first glance.
But Tang Ze faces this face every night. Even if he is not sensitive to his appearance in his life, he can almost see his proficiency.
"Plus you can not only see the memories of my current life, but you can even see the memories of my previous life... At this point, I have already guessed 70% to 80% of the possible situations. "What else must be hidden from me?"
Leon paused, put down the cup in his hand, and looked at Tang Ze.
He did not deny Karasawa's accusation, but replied softly: "Didn't you hear it, guest? Now, no one can know your future destiny. You have abandoned the past track and embarked on a completely different path. Road. So I can't give you the answer. You are no longer what I can define."
It sounds like another riddle and rejection, but Tang Ze's mind is moving quickly. He quickly figured out what Leon was describing.
“So, just as I guessed, it’s no longer a week.” Karasawa looked directly at Lyon without any evasion, “What you call a completely different path means that this time I walked "In a completely different direction, you can't answer with your old experience, can you?"
In response to his sharp statement, Leon just bowed and did not answer.
And Karasawa has already gotten the answer from his silence.
"I knew...I knew..." Tang Ze scratched his hair twice irritably.
His irritability did not come from the other party's acquiescence to his guess, but from following this guess and imagining it, he thought of something disturbing.
Why is his fate tied to cooperation?
Of course, he was influenced by them, and he also influenced them. It is a fact that he completed the spiral of destiny through the interaction between people, but no matter how you look at it, this deviation of destiny is inconsistent with The feeling of coop's relationship being strongly bound is like saying...
"Last time, their ending was very bad, right?" Tang Ze lowered his eyes, "And it was because of me?"< br>
The moment he said these words, some images suddenly flashed back in Tang Ze's mind.
The brief scene in his dream when he emerged from the cocoon of Noah's Ark.
And the vague words I heard while standing in that empty but unsettling subway secret room.
If, he means if.
If he hadn’t changed his plan because of Xingchuan Hui’s appearance, and hadn’t changed his mentality because of Jianggu Ling’s sincerity, what’s more, if he hadn’t recovered his memory earlier, he would still be a A pure high school student who could not resist the pressure of the organization...
"Don't think about the past that no longer exists, guest."
Leon rarely walked out from behind the bar.
He approached the door and gently patted Tang Ze on the shoulder.
"One thing you said is actually inaccurate. No matter how similar I am to you, I am not exactly you. I am just a bystander. It doesn't matter even if your guess is true. Just because You made the choice because you couldn't accept that outcome. Now that you are standing here, doesn't it prove that no matter what desperate situation you find yourself in, you will challenge the impossible in order to get the results you want? Thinking back on the dead past, you are the proof of your own efforts."
Lion lowered his gaze, his silver eyelashes covering his metallic pupils, and covering the sadness in his eyes.
He will not be knocked down by failures and setbacks. Even if he is covered in mud, he will eventually crawl out of the abyss... This is Karasawa's style, and it is also the most stable and determined part of his personality, no matter how many things he has experienced. , whether he still has those memories, how multi-faceted his character is, as long as he does not lose these qualities, he will still be Tang Ze.
And Lyon will always be Lyon.
Tang Ze, who had his head lowered, slowly raised his head and looked at him silently.
Leon didn’t speak any more, just quietly accepting Tang Ze’s gaze.
After staring at each other in silence for a few seconds, Tang Ze suddenly spoke: "Where is Ci'er, are you talking about Ci'er?"
"What words?"
"The atmosphere has reached this point, wouldn't it be appropriate not to do a ranking poem?"
"Huh? You suddenly came to my place to post it? You're so crazy, you still expect me to give you some more skills, right?"
While the two were joking, a series of crisp wind chimes came from outside the bar door.
"Okay, don't sleep." Leon pushed Tang Ze angrily, "You are the only one who can suddenly come in and ask questions in the middle of work."
"Hey, what's your attitude? You're just kicking people out, right?"
————
"File file, look for the list of related persons in file No. 3. Tsk, Where did you put it..."
"It's over there. You've been working for so long and you haven't developed the habit of organizing files properly, Xiao Zhenping."
"Huh? You're a newbie in the workplace and you're still talking about me..." "If you want to argue, we'll have to argue tomorrow." Zhufu Jingguang raised his head faintly in the strong smell of coffee, "If I don't finish it tonight, I'm afraid Tang Ze will have a fight tomorrow morning. Will fight out again.”
Although Tangze did a good job in this regard, if possible, it would be better to keep Tangze exposed to those things as little as possible.
He didn’t know where Tang Ze’s peculiar ease in dealing with these things came from, but no matter how he thought about it, it was not a good thing for a child to play the role of a gangster so skillfully, let alone Tang Ze There were indeed unusual fluctuations in mood.
It’s better to reduce this risk as much as possible.
Matsuda Jinping's eyebrows jumped: "Karasawa is still here, and you said that in front of him..."
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Tang Ze, but his subsequent words became quieter and quieter.
The other members who were still busy saw that he had lost his voice and looked in the direction of Tang Ze.
Tangze, who was holding a dozen kraft paper portfolio bags in his arms, was originally responsible for summarizing and prioritizing everyone’s files - this was a job that only those who had been involved in these channels for a long time could do. Tang Ze was competent - but he didn't know when he had leaned back on the chair and fell asleep quietly.
The noisy war room gradually became quiet.
“Click.”
The ballpoint pen slipped from Tang Ze's hanging hand and fell into the scattered papers on the ground, making a muffled sound.
The few people staring silently here seemed to be awakened by the sound, and resumed their movements. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they all started talking in a slight breath.
"Did you fall asleep just after 2 o'clock in the morning? Doesn't he stay up all night at this time..."
"What you said, I finally We have a real feeling that we are an illegal organization. Is this considered exploiting minors?”
“Ha, this is considered being exploited by minors. Shouldn’t we stay up when he stays up? I’m tired. I’ve been spinning my wheels lately.”
"It may also be an emotional reason. Excessive mood swings are also very energy-consuming."
"It's so rare..."
A few people leaned over lightly and confirmed that Tang Ze was really After falling asleep, they whispered to each other for a while and stretched out their hands.
Tangze was curled up in the armchair, his posture a little awkward.
While observing Tang Ze's condition, they carefully supported Tang Ze's limbs and neck, maintaining smooth movements, and carefully lifted Tang Ze from the chair.
"I haven't woken up like this, so I'm really tired."
"Maybe, but his sleep schedule has been pretty bad recently. I'll ask Shiho to get him some medicine tomorrow."
< br>"The files are almost sorted, and the remaining Ireland may have been solved. Let him sleep."
It takes one person to carry away a nearly adult male without disturbing him. It is still a bit difficult to recruit teenagers. Fortunately, thanks to Karasawa's efforts, the Phantom Thieves no longer lack adults with sufficient strength.
Several people supported Karasawa's body. Miyano Akemi carefully pulled out the document bag from Karasawa's arms. A group of people maintained this strange posture and slowly carried Karasawa back to the bedroom. inside.
Although Karasawa chooses to live in cafes most of the time and rarely returns to the base for overnight stays, he also has his own room here, but there are not many things on it, and it slightly lacks the atmosphere of life.
“Looking at his harmless appearance, I really can’t tell that he is such a dangerous guy.”
“Really? I think his face is still smiling when he’s not smiling. Quite aggressive..."
"But he is always smiling, even now."
"Ha, I think this guy has too much baggage... …”
"Shh... don't disturb him..."
Miyano Akemi raised her index finger to warn, then stretched out her hand to tidy up Karasawa's hair that had fallen to her face, and then gently tidied Karasawa's body. The quilt covered him tightly.
No wonder they would be surprised by Karasawa's state. This guy who has difficulty expressing his pressure is really used to and very good at playing the role of a reliable captain. Seeing him fighting in noisy battles It is too rare to fall asleep unprepared in the room.
After confirming again that Tang Ze's breathing was still long and quiet, the few of them walked out quietly while talking in low voices.
“It’s rare to see him like this. Can I take a photo?”
"Stop making trouble Matsuda, let him sleep well, he has been running around in the past few days..."
As the bedroom door slowly closed, the door handle slowly turned at a cautious speed, Slowly closing completely, their voices completely disappeared.
It wasn’t until the whole room fell into complete darkness and silence that Tang Ze, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes.
They guessed right. Tang Ze would not be like this. In other words, it was a beautiful misunderstanding.
He had almost finished sorting through the files when he suddenly remembered the problems of the day. On a sudden impulse, he closed his eyes and went to the bar to torture Leon. This scene fell in the eyes of his teammates, as if It was as if he fell asleep due to exhaustion.
Due to habit, he was a very light sleeper in his previous life, and the slightest movement was enough to wake him up.
It is the same in this life. Perhaps in order to retain this part of the characteristics, his velvet room also has such a design. Any outside noise will become the welcome bell of the bar, reminding Karasawa to wake up in time. Make sure the surrounding environment is safe.
Almost the moment several people's hands touched him, his consciousness was pushed out of the bar by Leon.
However, it would be a bit embarrassing to suddenly open his eyes at this time, so he just let it go.
"You are really taken care of like a child." Tang Ze shook his head, but had no intention of getting up.
Am I the proof of my own hard work...?
He tugged on the corners of the quilt, keeping the smile on his lips, and closed his eyes again as he was lying on his side on the bed.
