***
At eight o'clock in the morning, there is an empty driveway in front of the lonely movie theater.
Relatively far away from the bustling city center, even on Saturdays, there are very few people and cars passing by here.
On such a deserted morning, a medium-sized truck quietly parked by the side of the road nearby.
The man driving raised his sunglasses and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he skillfully turned off the engine and turned his head to report to the back seat.
"Mr. Dillard, is it okay around here?"
"……no problem."
The car windows are covered with gray-black sun visors for shading, so the inside cannot be seen from the outside, but the outside can be clearly seen from the inside.Dilar stared at the very simple-looking movie theater across the road with bated breath, and took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket.
"..."
The sound of rubbing the lighter produced orange-red sparks, which ignited the front end of the cigarette within a few seconds.
Habitually took the first sip, and slowly spit it out while enduring the urge to cough.Now, regardless of whether it has any effect on the caffeine-filled mind, the bitter taste can at least bring a sense of reality to the cold morning.
(Is it three full years?)
Since the casino was destroyed by Wang Ma, Dilar had to fall into the situation of evading the police.Many properties belonging to Dilar's name were immediately frozen one by one, and even the family company, which had always welcomed him back at any time, announced that it had distanced itself from him.Everyone pushed the wall down, no matter who was afraid of being implicated.Dilar, who was in the center of the vortex, had expected this situation a long time ago. After all, he never thought about relying on the company and power he had abandoned. The unfavorable situation aroused his fighting spirit even more. If someone If I hope that he will fall into the bottomless abyss, even if he grabs the thorns in the ground, he will climb up in embarrassment.
In order not to expose his identity as much as possible, Dilar has never stood in the forefront in the past three years to attract attention.Using the intelligence and human network accumulated over the years, he successfully attracted countless murderous intentions to Wang Ma Xiaoji.However, no matter which time it failed to go completely according to the plan, it was more like something hindering the final stabbing than a failure.
(Just kidding, is it possible to say that the man is wearing the protection of the gods!?)
The words that Ouma said to him before the casino collapsed often appeared in his dreams like a curse.
"Come and kill me if you can, coward. 』
Behind the ugly smile that looks more like a devil, there is bottomless ridicule and malice behind it.Those who believe that they are in a superior position seem to be born ignorant of the thoughts of people who are crawling in the sewer.
The more this kind of person wants him to taste the consequences of arrogance, the more resentful he is just thinking about that smug smile and eyes.
When he realized it, the cigarette in his hand had been severely bent by him.
When I turned my gaze to the entrance of the cinema again, there was already a young boy who seemed to be waiting for someone.
Dilar knew that that was Wang Ma's date today, after all, he had ruined countless good things so far.
At that time, he looked down at his watch anxiously from time to time, which looked very funny. If he knew what was going to happen next, he might not be able to laugh for the rest of his life.
Dilar doesn't hate waiting, especially when it's waiting for an inevitability that's already certain to happen.After three years, he finally had the opportunity to take Ouma's life here with his own hands.
(Look who's the coward, bastard.)
At 28:[-], when the person wearing a black and white checkered shawl appeared in the field of vision, Dilar couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.
It had been a long time since he had seen Ouma with his own eyes, and although he had grown taller than before, the disgusting jubilant atmosphere was still the same as before.
Putting the last butt of the cigarette in the ashtray, Dilar stood up.
"transposition."
"Eh?"
"I said change seats, open it for me."
"……Yes."
Rather than an order, it was more like a deterrent. The man in the sunglasses respectfully walked around to the co-pilot so that Dilar could step over to the front driver's seat.As Dilar's confidant, he has followed Dilar for many years, but he dared not say a single word when encountering matters related to Wang Ma.
In front of them, the two people across the road seemed to be communicating through text messages. In just a few seconds, the green light on the driveway flickered and turned yellow, and the light on the sidewalk turned green.
Dilar touched the steering wheel, and he clearly saw Ouma taking the first step forward from the side of the road.
(Hahaha……)
The soles of the feet that stepped on the accelerator seemed to be shaking, and the shaking spread along the nerves all the way to the fingertips, allowing Dilar to experience an unprecedented sense of presence.After all, it was trembling from excitement. He could feel the surging adrenaline rushing through his body like an explosion, and the joy called dopamine was waving to him who was approaching the finish line step by step.After all, he was finally able to execute his justice and completely remove the cancer that derailed his life.
When Ouma took three steps, Dilar stepped on the accelerator in one breath.The body of the car that has been silent for a long time emits the roar of wild beasts. The creaking and bending downward metal pedal is the first tune to play the Ode to Joy. The somewhat damaged rubber wheels rub against the dry asphalt and run at high speed like a passionate violin. , almost in a moment, the car body accelerated to the limit, rattled and screamed like a clarinet, and the flame that pierced the dull air burned up the oxygen before being caught by the naked eye. Thick Mercedes away.
In an instant, the truck rushed in front of Ouma at a speed unimaginable on the road.The dream moment is infinitely slowed down by the high-speed running mind, ten centimeters, five centimeters, just a little bit, just a little bit.Like the slow-speed playback of a film, Ouma, who finally realized something, subconsciously moved his eyes in the direction of the truck, and opened his eyes wide when he saw the face on the driver's seat.
"Go to hell, Ouma Xiaoji!!"
It was the roar of a man dominated by desire and madness, it was the ultimate solitary goodness who believed in his own absolute right and wantonly trampled on everything else.
Boom————!
The sound of timpani resounding through the whole body, creaking and tearing, is the sound of the flesh and bone that is gradually crushing the individual called human being.The bright pink color mixed with debris splashed on the windshield and blinded the sight, but the extremely fast truck continued to move forward for more than ten meters before stopping and rushing forward.
Everything is only in an instant, and it is over in an instant.
"..."
Realizing that his shirt was soaked in sweat, Dilar kicked the clutch that was close to being scrapped.
"……Hahahahahaha!!!"
Dancing and twirling recklessly like a clown on his way to a throne, Dilar just went on and on, laughing until he got sick of himself.
——It should be like this.
10 minutes after fleeing the scene.
"Mr. Dilar, that kid seems to have been sent to XX Hospital for rescue!"
"..."
The feeling of the moment of the collision still remains in Dilar's hands, there is no mistake, he has no doubt that he trampled Wang Ma Xiaoji under his feet.But what if, even though the possibility is close to zero, what if Oumata stubbornly climbed up from the abyss of hell by grabbing the spider's silk... .
"...Tch, you wait here."
After trying to calculate the not-too-far distance, Dilar jumped off the medium-sized truck and rushed towards the hospital without hesitation.The re-lit soot was blown away with the breeze. The revolver strapped to the waist under the black suit was equipment that had never been changed for many years. The feel of the hammer is so smooth and natural.Dilar casually helped his short hair that was a little messy and curled up, and the big-character logo of the target hospital was already close in front of his eyes.
(It doesn't matter if you're a ghost or some shit, no matter how many times I'm going to beat you to hell.)
Using his experience to find the entrance to the emergency building, Dilar almost immediately rushed in and caught the nurse near the information desk to question him.
"Hey, have you received a car accident patient named Wang Ma Xiaoji here?! Where did he rescue him!?"
"Hey, hey! You, you are his family, his family...?"
"Find me what you want!"
The door number of the emergency room that was forced to come was farther than expected, but it must be concentrated in a room on the ninth floor dedicated to surgery.Ignoring the pointing of the people around him, Dilar began to climb up the stairs that happened to be right in front of him.
The number of people in the stairwell diminished as he went up to the high-rise stairwell. When he reached the fourth floor, Dilar could only hear his own footsteps echoing in the somewhat empty stairwell.
(Asshole, asshole!)
If it weren't for the possibility of being caught by the surveillance camera in the elevator, Dilar would have found Ouma's ward to send him off for the last time.However, at this moment, because of this inexplicable reason, he has to waste time on manual labor, and there must be a limit to inefficiency. The restlessness that was already caused by the complete disruption of the plan has escalated into irritability.
at this time--
"Om--, um--"
The vibration came from Dilar's pants pocket, and he took out his mobile phone impatiently. Dilar thought it was some new news from his subordinates.
"..."
Incoming calls appear as unknown.
At this time, this place, an unknown caller?
No matter how you think about it, it can't be a coincidence.
Pressing the answer button hard, Dilar spoke to Mike annoyedly.
"If you dare to play me, you will die."
There was an unexpected silence on the other end of the phone, just when Dilar was about to hang up immediately.
"Ahh—it seems that Dilar-chan has not improved at all after so many years, which is really gratifying!"
The voice, the tone, the way of speaking, there is no doubt——
"Wang Ma Xiaoji...!"
There was a crackling sound from the edge of the palm holding the phone tightly, and the phone couldn't help howling due to the tight grip.
"PingPong~ That's right, that's right, it's me! Then, maybe Dilar-chan must have some doubts? I was knocked out of shape by you one second ago, why is it here again the next second?" Did you call happily?"
There is no doubt that Ouma on the other side of the phone is neither a ghost nor a ghost. After all, Dilar doesn't believe in things that don't make sense at all.The fact has indeed happened, so there is only one possibility left.
"You guy, could it be that you used a substitute..."
"..."
While maintaining the conversation, Dilar turned on the anti-tracking program installed in the mobile phone, and the flashing target indicated that the other party was in the building at this time, and it was on the ninth floor of the operation floor.
"substitute?"
However, when Ouma heard this word, he burst into laughter as if he had heard some big joke from across the century. The pure and innocent laughter flowed across the receiver and then stopped abruptly.
"Dilal-chan, do you still remember the girl who became a croupier? Compared with killing people or gambling, she is actually better at disguised as someone else? Besides, she likes to braid her hair when she is free. After all, her hair is so real. It's very long."
"Huh? Are you—"
"However, sometimes she doesn't listen to my orders, and always runs to the enemy's line to fight against me. No matter what happens, she will never let go of her pretense at the last moment. ... She obviously looks good when she smiles, but Always with a straight face."
The anxiety in his heart accelerated the speed of his feet, and now Dilar understood what nonsense Ouma wanted to say.Although he doesn't know where he got the news, it seems that he knew from the beginning that Dilar would come to attack, and he took countermeasures for it.
"Hahahaha, that is really an intoxicating spirit of self-sacrifice! Giving a death sentence to your subordinates as if nothing happened, is so indiscriminate as to be disgusting!"
Therefore, the behavior of deliberately running to call to show off without any injuries made Dilar feel sick.
(But you didn't expect me to be in this hospital, Mr. President, who has no choice but to make a leisurely phone call!)
With a bang, the door of the stairwell was pushed open, and the corridor that was too empty was displayed in front of Dilar's eyes.The red "in-operation" light is on above the operating room at the far end, which coincides with the tracking coordinates exactly.
"Damn it? Haha, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"
In the empty corridor, only the weird laughter on the other side of the receiver accompanied Dilar's gradually accelerating pace.Dilar didn't want to listen to the nonsense that Ouma said, but the tone on the other side suddenly sank.
"I already knew that you would come to kill me. Due to the BW perspective, what happened must be reproduced, so in my plan, I will indeed be hit by a truck in front of Yuanjiang."
(BW...? What is that?!)
"But, no one has stipulated that you must be the one driving the truck, right? Then I just need to let my subordinates drive a completely similar truck to pass by that place at that time, avoiding fatal injuries skillfully while colliding, and scatter. A spill of blood to create a very serious car accident environment, plus some make-up and acting skills that are enough to fool an amateur, can it be perfectly reproduced? This is my plan, my original plan.”
"……what do you want to say in the end?"
Regardless of whether faking the accident actually made sense, Dilar's car had definitely hit the target, and that was the undeniable truth he knew.
"After all this is said, can't you guess it? Sure enough, a failure is a failure, so you can't expect it at all!"
"you……!"
Before there were only a few meters away, Dilar gritted his teeth and pulled out the revolver from his waist. He pressed down the hammer and shattered the password device in front of the door with two bangs.
"It means that just in case she secretly disguised herself as me and came to the meeting point to find out the wind, but you were bumped into by you who were lying in ambush there, you bastard!!! I'm very very very now Angry, the well-prepared plan was messed up by an unexpected incident, all thanks to you?!"
"What do you tell me now that the plan has been disrupted...? Who do you think is not like this!"
(If it wasn't for you, how could I have been in such a mess these three years!)
"This time I must kill you with my own hands! Prove that I am right, I am the one who is blessed by the whole world!!"
"Come here if you have the ability!? Anyway, you have been a coward all your life, how-how could you kill me!"
The angry bullets collided with the iron door and the lock, and the dazzling light fragments of lightning and flint burst out in front of Dilar's eyes.The loose door was gradually opened, and he couldn't wait to kick and rushed in.
"Wang Ma Xiaoji Yiyi Yiyi Yiyi, go to hell!!!"
The dangling muzzle was aimed at the person in the middle of the ward. Even under the shadow of the backlight, the pure white uniform like a straitjacket and the black and white square scarf around the collar all proved his identity Personal characteristics.
however--
"You, you are..."
The unexpected situation impacted Dilar's brain and thinking, and the index finger on the trigger had already decided to pull it, but there was a trace of hesitation.After all, although the man in front of him was indeed holding the phone in his right hand, his other hand was leaning against the phone with a button that looked more like a mini pager.
It was also this moment of absence that made Dilar lose the chance to shoot.
"Everyone is not allowed to move!"
"!?"
When he noticed, Dilar had been crushed to the floor by the arm that struck from behind.
(What!? What happened!?)
Three or five hands put all their strength on him and pressed him firmly to the ground, unable to move. Even the pistol that was tightly held in his hand was smashed against the tiles by the force of a moment ago and flew to someone's feet.
"Are you all right, are you not hurt!?"
Unfamiliar voices were asking him who had been in the room from the beginning, and he seemed to be nodding towards the people who came.
"I was not injured, thanks to your timely arrival."
(Could it be that……)
"police……?"
The appearance that was too unimaginable confused his thinking logic.With a click, Dilar saw that his right hand was put on an iron handcuff with a cold touch.
"You were arrested for illegal gun possession and attempted murder!"
"what!?"
Dilar struggled to raise his face, but there was no warmth in the gaze on his eyes.
"I remember you! It was the person who was with Ouma back then, and you guys conspired to frame me...!!"
Once named Phoppers, now the member code-named Ogier, he put down his pager and mobile phone, neither intending to get close to Dilar, nor did he intend to run away from him.
"...Athena's actions always have her reasons. Although the president said that it's all your fault, I won't resent you just because of pure anger."
It was a dialogue that only two people could understand, and it was truly his own thoughts.
"But you're too vain, Dillard. It's not the same as it was three years ago, focusing only on your own aesthetics and theory, and belittling all other life. I suffered, Athena suffered, the President suffered Suffering,... and the suffering he has suffered as a BW, you probably don't even know it."
"What the hell are you talking about!?"
"Nonsense?...Don't you even want to understand?"
Sighing from the bottom of his heart for the first time, Ogier squatted in front of Dilar ignoring the police officers' stop.The eyes that always seemed a little lacklustre now contained a firm will, which was not anger, pity, or resentment.
"I don't have the right to punish you, so I borrow the power of the law like this. It's time to pay back what you have done."
Just a declaration and statement of reality,
"You're screwed, Dillard."
It was a cold trial that was absolutely fair to all.
***
There are too many things along the way that I don't know.
Not just in this world, not just on the far side of the earth, sometimes even the various things around me are farther away than the ends of the earth.
A single human being can do many things, but at the same time, the power of a single human being is also very small.
It is precisely because of this that I want to seek help from others, I want to borrow the strength of others, and I want to realize the promise that I am afraid that I cannot complete it alone.
It's not something to be ashamed of, and I can say it quite frankly now.Only by admitting your weakness can you continue to move forward, and only by knowing your own boundaries will you want to let go.After all, if you don't try it, you won't even be able to confirm whether the end of your efforts will be reality or fiction, let alone whether the truth and lies are as cruel and gentle as he said.
Even if it's still very far away, maybe one day——
I can touch the truth that only belongs to "him".
"--Um?"
Blinking, the somewhat blurred vision gradually reflected the things in front of him.It was a silver ring that I hung around my neck with a cowhide rope, and it was lying in my palm at this moment, quietly reflecting the orange light.
This is the middle of the corridor, and I'm lying in front of one of the windows.Looking back and looking down the window, there are still a few figures beside the small bridge where many couples once gathered.
"what……"
If I remember correctly, this should be the place where I first parted ways with my father.
That is to say-
"I'm back..."
After going through that too thrilling time and space journey, I finally returned to my own time.
For me here, the separation may be less than a second, but mentally, it is equivalent to countless adventures that are too long.
"Yeah, Mohara-chan has finally returned to the realm of normal humans~"
"In this way, I can finally rest for a while... eh!?"
The too natural conversation was almost submerged in the subconscious resonance, and before I turned my face to confirm the figure that maybe no longer needed to be confirmed, the smiling face had already moved closer.
"Ah! Long time no see, Zui Yuanjiang! It's been almost a month since I saw you. Are you happy to see me again?"
"King, Wang Ma-kun!? Why are you here...!?"
This should be the world three years from now, right? !
On the contrary, Wang Majun, who received my question, looked very surprised.
"Hey—we came here on the same flight? Mohara-chan doesn't remember at all?"
"Huh? Huh?"
"Obviously, I specially added some TASCO hot sauce to the lunch served with the most original sauce. I want to add excitement to your journey!"
So isn't that a special local taste in Las Vegas...! ?
Recalling the miserable situation of drinking several glasses of water after only taking one bite, I always feel that my heart is about to ache.
"Well, what I just said was a lie to you. In fact, there is something I want to say to Mo Yuanchan!"
Wang Majun didn't make any comments on my suffering, just smiled and patted me on the shoulder.
words, huh....
"Well, I also have something to say to Wang Majun."
Presumably that will be a long, long story that requires us to talk all night.
There is an artificial lake in front of the Bellagio Hotel.The large area makes it an object for tourists to watch and appreciate in their spare time, and it is also a place for many couples to date.
It has been several hours since we got off the plane. In short, we ran to the inside of the casino to complete the necessary matters for accidentally bumping into someone. After that, we changed our clothes and had dinner at the seafood restaurant. Wang Majun and I went for a walk near the lake together. .A moment ago, the sky was still filled with orange-red rosy clouds, but now it has gradually turned into deep blue ink-stained blue, only the semi-circular bright moon exudes a clear light.
"So, where do we start?"
Taking a gentle step, Wang Majun turned his head to ask for my opinion.
At this moment, what is the thing I most want to know.
"...After that, Athena... how did she...?"
"Um--"
According to the original plan, I used the BW perspective to attach to Ogier in order to assist this "scam" designed to deceive myself from the side, but all plans were completely disrupted because of Athena's sudden action .Although Wang Majun, who temporarily came up with the idea of filing, successfully achieved his original goal, he suffered much more damage than expected in the end.But in a sense, Athena's prediction was actually very accurate. If Wang Majun was really asked to go to the appointment like that at that time, maybe...
"I also guessed that most original sauce would be very worried about Athena, after all, most original sauce has the attribute of sister control."
"No, no...! What's more, my sister is only temporary..."
"It's really boring to not completely deny it! Well, as far as the result is concerned, Athena is still alive and well, although she may have to stay in the hospital for a while."
"Really!?"
"Really, so sister-in-law Zuiyuan-chan shouldn't just post it all of a sudden!"
"Hug, sorry..."
A little disgusted and motioned me to stay away, Wang Majun sighed.
"Anyway, Athena is also a member of DICE? Even in that situation, she wouldn't just do nothing and get bumped obediently. What's more, she is a celebrity in cross-dressing, and she exaggerated the extent of her injuries in front of Mohara-chan. It's also entirely possible."
"..."
At that time, Athena, who was undoubtedly seriously injured, apologized to me in the form of Oma-kun.Although I didn't have much energy to think carefully about the meaning of the words at the time, but now I care more and more about it.In the end, did it come from her sincere guilt, or was it just her own speculation about Wang Majun's thoughts.
...Evidently neither of them is the type to apologize obediently.
"The T-shirt was ruined in the car accident, so I have to buy a new one for her when I come to Las Vegas this time~ Although the taste can't be judged at all."
But compared to me, Wang Majun must know Athena better.But at the same time, he must be more worried about her, and he must be anxious about her.
"That's great, Wang Majun."
"Ah, why is it that I feel a little angry when Mohara-chan says that—?"
"Ah ha ha……"
After that, Dilar, who fell into Wang Majun's trap, was successfully arrested. After everything was over, I remembered that I had seen similar reports in the newspapers, but I didn't expect that it would have something to do with me.
The next moment, Wang Majun suddenly moved closer on purpose.
"But let me quietly tell Mohara-chan a little secret, okay? You must--you must not tell Chunchuan-chan!"
"...Why Chunchuan-san?"
"Hehehe, because the policeman I called over was actually Ryuzaki-chan~"
"Eh!?"
The Ryugasaki who is the boss of Harukawa-san? !
No, no, no, it's impossible...!
"That person wants to kill Wang Ma-kun...! How could he listen to Wang Ma-kun..."
"That's why."
Nodding his head like a commentator, Wang Ma Junyang's smile on the corner of his mouth became even happier.
"Assassins have their own creed. If Ryuzaki-chan wants to kill me one day, he has the obligation to ensure that I will not be killed by anyone else before then."
"Eh……"
What a strange theory this is....Is the enemy of my enemy my friend?No, something still seems wrong.
Ignoring my doubts, Wang Majun continued to speak freely.
"Besides, the arrest of Dilar-chan is a difficult event on a global scale, right? It's a casino operation and human trafficking, and the police are all scrambling to catch him~ This is for Ryuzaki-chan himself It can be regarded as profitable, all in all, it is mutual benefit and win-win!"
"Uh, uh... hmm?"
Although it sounds like this is the truth, but after careful consideration, I feel that there is something crucial that is not right.
...Well, anyway, it's a matter that has already been resolved, so there's no point in getting serious about it.
Inadvertently, my eyes glanced at the lake, the very clear water rippled our reflection, although it was illusory, it really existed here.
It seems that the so-called real sense is still not completely in the hands.
How long has it been since I stood side by side with Wang Majun like this?
Maybe it's a week, maybe a month, but for me it's a bit like a thing in my last life.
After all, too many things happened in between, so much that I even lost myself, so much that I didn't have time to celebrate the joy of regaining it.
"In the end, where did Wang Majun go this month?"
I had already blurted out my doubts when I noticed.
Faking his own death, completely disappearing from the sight of all acquaintances, Wang Majun spent a month that only he knew.He who is good at hiding and seeking must not worry about doing it perfectly, after all, we were tricked into even finishing the funeral for him.
The silvery white of the moonlight was reflected in the slanted gaze.
"Huh? Ah, I'm going to travel around the world!"
"Ring, traveling around the world...?"
I was startled by the somewhat beyond-imaginable words and became suspicious, but Wang Majun just put his arms behind his head and began to count them one by one for me.
"It's like riding an elephant in the Amazon rainforest, basking in the sun and eating southern fruits in Hawaii, rowing a canoe in Venice, singing and dancing with beautiful sisters, and visiting the Louvre for reference. The next one I want to steal Works of art or something!"
Eh, eh, so many...?
"...The last one is not something you should do when traveling around the world, is it?"
"Where is it not? It is very important to investigate beforehand? Mohara-chan, please don't underestimate us phantom thieves!"
"No, Wang Ma-kun is not a phantom thief after all..."
The vividly depicted experience is too full of leisure and joy, it can be said that I enjoy life very much, and people can't help but want to sigh.
"Maybe Wang Majun didn't know, I was quite depressed that month... I tried my best to find out more about the truth about Wang Majun's death, but I ran into obstacles one after another and returned without success. Almost gave up."
"I know."
"That's right, after all, Mr. Wang Ma didn't have...Huh?"
He stopped in surprise, and disappeared into mid-air without being able to finish his overly natural reply.After taking two more steps forward, Wang Majun also stopped with his back to me.
"Hehehe, I'm afraid Zuiyuanjiang has forgotten, I'm the biggest liar in the world, huh? So what I said just now is a lie to you... Actually, I didn't go anywhere."
After kicking the sand beside his feet, Wang Majun turned around with open arms.
"After all, didn't the most original sauce tell me? I want a chance to forgive me."
"..."
In the center of the tightly clustered flowers, I once wished that even once, if he could listen to my words and be willing to fulfill my wish.
"Naturally, the evil president with a big heart gave Mohara-chan this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? He even climbed up from hell for this reason!"
Finally, with his hands behind his back and slightly leaning forward, Wang Majun grinned happily.
"I know all the hard work that Yuanjiang has done for me, after all, I have been watching."
The moonlight cast an inconspicuous blush on the side face, but it was enough evidence.
That was the moment when I really touched the "truth".
——Ah, Wang Majun didn't lie this time.
Beside the lake that is so quiet that there are occasional ripples, Wang Majun and I just looked at each other.The breeze blew his side hair in pieces, and his eyes reflected me who was always here.
"Then most original sauce, even though some things are up to now, I still have some questions to ask you."
"...Well, no matter what the question is, I will answer it for you."
With my answer narrowing his eyes, Wang Majun seemed very satisfied with the answer.
"I've asked it before, but I really want to ask it again at the right time."
Maybe I already know the question Wang Majun wanted to ask me.
The raised right hand stretched straight towards me.
"Then ask the question to the most present continuous tense!...Why did the original sauce save me?"
The clear vision does not contain the scheming and tricks all the time. Wang Majun followed his inner thoughts and told me the questions that have been in his heart all the time.That was just a simple question, and to him who was the questioner, it seemed a bit fussy. If it were someone else, he might feel a little overwhelmed.No, this assumption is not very appropriate, after all, it is undoubtedly a question that can only be asked of me.
Why should I save Wang Majun?
Because we are classmates, is helping each other a beautiful virtue of human beings?
No, ordinary students will not be persistent to this extent.People with a magnanimous heart may take the initiative to dedicate themselves to others because of their great love, but I know that I am not such a noble person.
Because we are friends, can't we ignore the difficulties of friends?
No, let alone what I think, Wang Majun definitely does not regard me as his friend.Whether there is a concept of "friends" in his interpersonal network is difficult to determine, and it is absolutely inapplicable to apply this theory to him.
Because we are detectives and criminals, do we have to keep pursuing until we find the truth?
... No, not exactly.There are too many mysteries in Mr. Wang Majun. If I were to sort them out one by one and understand them all, it might take me a lifetime to complete them.Chasing puzzles is a detective's bounden duty and instinct. As long as there is a problem in front of you, you can't help but want to understand and expose it until you get the final truth.So for a detective, it doesn't matter who issued the riddle, as long as the riddle itself exists, everything should be fine.
But what about me?
"Why do I want to save Wang Majun..."
even myself
At eight o'clock in the morning, there is an empty driveway in front of the lonely movie theater.
Relatively far away from the bustling city center, even on Saturdays, there are very few people and cars passing by here.
On such a deserted morning, a medium-sized truck quietly parked by the side of the road nearby.
The man driving raised his sunglasses and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he skillfully turned off the engine and turned his head to report to the back seat.
"Mr. Dillard, is it okay around here?"
"……no problem."
The car windows are covered with gray-black sun visors for shading, so the inside cannot be seen from the outside, but the outside can be clearly seen from the inside.Dilar stared at the very simple-looking movie theater across the road with bated breath, and took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket.
"..."
The sound of rubbing the lighter produced orange-red sparks, which ignited the front end of the cigarette within a few seconds.
Habitually took the first sip, and slowly spit it out while enduring the urge to cough.Now, regardless of whether it has any effect on the caffeine-filled mind, the bitter taste can at least bring a sense of reality to the cold morning.
(Is it three full years?)
Since the casino was destroyed by Wang Ma, Dilar had to fall into the situation of evading the police.Many properties belonging to Dilar's name were immediately frozen one by one, and even the family company, which had always welcomed him back at any time, announced that it had distanced itself from him.Everyone pushed the wall down, no matter who was afraid of being implicated.Dilar, who was in the center of the vortex, had expected this situation a long time ago. After all, he never thought about relying on the company and power he had abandoned. The unfavorable situation aroused his fighting spirit even more. If someone If I hope that he will fall into the bottomless abyss, even if he grabs the thorns in the ground, he will climb up in embarrassment.
In order not to expose his identity as much as possible, Dilar has never stood in the forefront in the past three years to attract attention.Using the intelligence and human network accumulated over the years, he successfully attracted countless murderous intentions to Wang Ma Xiaoji.However, no matter which time it failed to go completely according to the plan, it was more like something hindering the final stabbing than a failure.
(Just kidding, is it possible to say that the man is wearing the protection of the gods!?)
The words that Ouma said to him before the casino collapsed often appeared in his dreams like a curse.
"Come and kill me if you can, coward. 』
Behind the ugly smile that looks more like a devil, there is bottomless ridicule and malice behind it.Those who believe that they are in a superior position seem to be born ignorant of the thoughts of people who are crawling in the sewer.
The more this kind of person wants him to taste the consequences of arrogance, the more resentful he is just thinking about that smug smile and eyes.
When he realized it, the cigarette in his hand had been severely bent by him.
When I turned my gaze to the entrance of the cinema again, there was already a young boy who seemed to be waiting for someone.
Dilar knew that that was Wang Ma's date today, after all, he had ruined countless good things so far.
At that time, he looked down at his watch anxiously from time to time, which looked very funny. If he knew what was going to happen next, he might not be able to laugh for the rest of his life.
Dilar doesn't hate waiting, especially when it's waiting for an inevitability that's already certain to happen.After three years, he finally had the opportunity to take Ouma's life here with his own hands.
(Look who's the coward, bastard.)
At 28:[-], when the person wearing a black and white checkered shawl appeared in the field of vision, Dilar couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.
It had been a long time since he had seen Ouma with his own eyes, and although he had grown taller than before, the disgusting jubilant atmosphere was still the same as before.
Putting the last butt of the cigarette in the ashtray, Dilar stood up.
"transposition."
"Eh?"
"I said change seats, open it for me."
"……Yes."
Rather than an order, it was more like a deterrent. The man in the sunglasses respectfully walked around to the co-pilot so that Dilar could step over to the front driver's seat.As Dilar's confidant, he has followed Dilar for many years, but he dared not say a single word when encountering matters related to Wang Ma.
In front of them, the two people across the road seemed to be communicating through text messages. In just a few seconds, the green light on the driveway flickered and turned yellow, and the light on the sidewalk turned green.
Dilar touched the steering wheel, and he clearly saw Ouma taking the first step forward from the side of the road.
(Hahaha……)
The soles of the feet that stepped on the accelerator seemed to be shaking, and the shaking spread along the nerves all the way to the fingertips, allowing Dilar to experience an unprecedented sense of presence.After all, it was trembling from excitement. He could feel the surging adrenaline rushing through his body like an explosion, and the joy called dopamine was waving to him who was approaching the finish line step by step.After all, he was finally able to execute his justice and completely remove the cancer that derailed his life.
When Ouma took three steps, Dilar stepped on the accelerator in one breath.The body of the car that has been silent for a long time emits the roar of wild beasts. The creaking and bending downward metal pedal is the first tune to play the Ode to Joy. The somewhat damaged rubber wheels rub against the dry asphalt and run at high speed like a passionate violin. , almost in a moment, the car body accelerated to the limit, rattled and screamed like a clarinet, and the flame that pierced the dull air burned up the oxygen before being caught by the naked eye. Thick Mercedes away.
In an instant, the truck rushed in front of Ouma at a speed unimaginable on the road.The dream moment is infinitely slowed down by the high-speed running mind, ten centimeters, five centimeters, just a little bit, just a little bit.Like the slow-speed playback of a film, Ouma, who finally realized something, subconsciously moved his eyes in the direction of the truck, and opened his eyes wide when he saw the face on the driver's seat.
"Go to hell, Ouma Xiaoji!!"
It was the roar of a man dominated by desire and madness, it was the ultimate solitary goodness who believed in his own absolute right and wantonly trampled on everything else.
Boom————!
The sound of timpani resounding through the whole body, creaking and tearing, is the sound of the flesh and bone that is gradually crushing the individual called human being.The bright pink color mixed with debris splashed on the windshield and blinded the sight, but the extremely fast truck continued to move forward for more than ten meters before stopping and rushing forward.
Everything is only in an instant, and it is over in an instant.
"..."
Realizing that his shirt was soaked in sweat, Dilar kicked the clutch that was close to being scrapped.
"……Hahahahahaha!!!"
Dancing and twirling recklessly like a clown on his way to a throne, Dilar just went on and on, laughing until he got sick of himself.
——It should be like this.
10 minutes after fleeing the scene.
"Mr. Dilar, that kid seems to have been sent to XX Hospital for rescue!"
"..."
The feeling of the moment of the collision still remains in Dilar's hands, there is no mistake, he has no doubt that he trampled Wang Ma Xiaoji under his feet.But what if, even though the possibility is close to zero, what if Oumata stubbornly climbed up from the abyss of hell by grabbing the spider's silk... .
"...Tch, you wait here."
After trying to calculate the not-too-far distance, Dilar jumped off the medium-sized truck and rushed towards the hospital without hesitation.The re-lit soot was blown away with the breeze. The revolver strapped to the waist under the black suit was equipment that had never been changed for many years. The feel of the hammer is so smooth and natural.Dilar casually helped his short hair that was a little messy and curled up, and the big-character logo of the target hospital was already close in front of his eyes.
(It doesn't matter if you're a ghost or some shit, no matter how many times I'm going to beat you to hell.)
Using his experience to find the entrance to the emergency building, Dilar almost immediately rushed in and caught the nurse near the information desk to question him.
"Hey, have you received a car accident patient named Wang Ma Xiaoji here?! Where did he rescue him!?"
"Hey, hey! You, you are his family, his family...?"
"Find me what you want!"
The door number of the emergency room that was forced to come was farther than expected, but it must be concentrated in a room on the ninth floor dedicated to surgery.Ignoring the pointing of the people around him, Dilar began to climb up the stairs that happened to be right in front of him.
The number of people in the stairwell diminished as he went up to the high-rise stairwell. When he reached the fourth floor, Dilar could only hear his own footsteps echoing in the somewhat empty stairwell.
(Asshole, asshole!)
If it weren't for the possibility of being caught by the surveillance camera in the elevator, Dilar would have found Ouma's ward to send him off for the last time.However, at this moment, because of this inexplicable reason, he has to waste time on manual labor, and there must be a limit to inefficiency. The restlessness that was already caused by the complete disruption of the plan has escalated into irritability.
at this time--
"Om--, um--"
The vibration came from Dilar's pants pocket, and he took out his mobile phone impatiently. Dilar thought it was some new news from his subordinates.
"..."
Incoming calls appear as unknown.
At this time, this place, an unknown caller?
No matter how you think about it, it can't be a coincidence.
Pressing the answer button hard, Dilar spoke to Mike annoyedly.
"If you dare to play me, you will die."
There was an unexpected silence on the other end of the phone, just when Dilar was about to hang up immediately.
"Ahh—it seems that Dilar-chan has not improved at all after so many years, which is really gratifying!"
The voice, the tone, the way of speaking, there is no doubt——
"Wang Ma Xiaoji...!"
There was a crackling sound from the edge of the palm holding the phone tightly, and the phone couldn't help howling due to the tight grip.
"PingPong~ That's right, that's right, it's me! Then, maybe Dilar-chan must have some doubts? I was knocked out of shape by you one second ago, why is it here again the next second?" Did you call happily?"
There is no doubt that Ouma on the other side of the phone is neither a ghost nor a ghost. After all, Dilar doesn't believe in things that don't make sense at all.The fact has indeed happened, so there is only one possibility left.
"You guy, could it be that you used a substitute..."
"..."
While maintaining the conversation, Dilar turned on the anti-tracking program installed in the mobile phone, and the flashing target indicated that the other party was in the building at this time, and it was on the ninth floor of the operation floor.
"substitute?"
However, when Ouma heard this word, he burst into laughter as if he had heard some big joke from across the century. The pure and innocent laughter flowed across the receiver and then stopped abruptly.
"Dilal-chan, do you still remember the girl who became a croupier? Compared with killing people or gambling, she is actually better at disguised as someone else? Besides, she likes to braid her hair when she is free. After all, her hair is so real. It's very long."
"Huh? Are you—"
"However, sometimes she doesn't listen to my orders, and always runs to the enemy's line to fight against me. No matter what happens, she will never let go of her pretense at the last moment. ... She obviously looks good when she smiles, but Always with a straight face."
The anxiety in his heart accelerated the speed of his feet, and now Dilar understood what nonsense Ouma wanted to say.Although he doesn't know where he got the news, it seems that he knew from the beginning that Dilar would come to attack, and he took countermeasures for it.
"Hahahaha, that is really an intoxicating spirit of self-sacrifice! Giving a death sentence to your subordinates as if nothing happened, is so indiscriminate as to be disgusting!"
Therefore, the behavior of deliberately running to call to show off without any injuries made Dilar feel sick.
(But you didn't expect me to be in this hospital, Mr. President, who has no choice but to make a leisurely phone call!)
With a bang, the door of the stairwell was pushed open, and the corridor that was too empty was displayed in front of Dilar's eyes.The red "in-operation" light is on above the operating room at the far end, which coincides with the tracking coordinates exactly.
"Damn it? Haha, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"
In the empty corridor, only the weird laughter on the other side of the receiver accompanied Dilar's gradually accelerating pace.Dilar didn't want to listen to the nonsense that Ouma said, but the tone on the other side suddenly sank.
"I already knew that you would come to kill me. Due to the BW perspective, what happened must be reproduced, so in my plan, I will indeed be hit by a truck in front of Yuanjiang."
(BW...? What is that?!)
"But, no one has stipulated that you must be the one driving the truck, right? Then I just need to let my subordinates drive a completely similar truck to pass by that place at that time, avoiding fatal injuries skillfully while colliding, and scatter. A spill of blood to create a very serious car accident environment, plus some make-up and acting skills that are enough to fool an amateur, can it be perfectly reproduced? This is my plan, my original plan.”
"……what do you want to say in the end?"
Regardless of whether faking the accident actually made sense, Dilar's car had definitely hit the target, and that was the undeniable truth he knew.
"After all this is said, can't you guess it? Sure enough, a failure is a failure, so you can't expect it at all!"
"you……!"
Before there were only a few meters away, Dilar gritted his teeth and pulled out the revolver from his waist. He pressed down the hammer and shattered the password device in front of the door with two bangs.
"It means that just in case she secretly disguised herself as me and came to the meeting point to find out the wind, but you were bumped into by you who were lying in ambush there, you bastard!!! I'm very very very now Angry, the well-prepared plan was messed up by an unexpected incident, all thanks to you?!"
"What do you tell me now that the plan has been disrupted...? Who do you think is not like this!"
(If it wasn't for you, how could I have been in such a mess these three years!)
"This time I must kill you with my own hands! Prove that I am right, I am the one who is blessed by the whole world!!"
"Come here if you have the ability!? Anyway, you have been a coward all your life, how-how could you kill me!"
The angry bullets collided with the iron door and the lock, and the dazzling light fragments of lightning and flint burst out in front of Dilar's eyes.The loose door was gradually opened, and he couldn't wait to kick and rushed in.
"Wang Ma Xiaoji Yiyi Yiyi Yiyi, go to hell!!!"
The dangling muzzle was aimed at the person in the middle of the ward. Even under the shadow of the backlight, the pure white uniform like a straitjacket and the black and white square scarf around the collar all proved his identity Personal characteristics.
however--
"You, you are..."
The unexpected situation impacted Dilar's brain and thinking, and the index finger on the trigger had already decided to pull it, but there was a trace of hesitation.After all, although the man in front of him was indeed holding the phone in his right hand, his other hand was leaning against the phone with a button that looked more like a mini pager.
It was also this moment of absence that made Dilar lose the chance to shoot.
"Everyone is not allowed to move!"
"!?"
When he noticed, Dilar had been crushed to the floor by the arm that struck from behind.
(What!? What happened!?)
Three or five hands put all their strength on him and pressed him firmly to the ground, unable to move. Even the pistol that was tightly held in his hand was smashed against the tiles by the force of a moment ago and flew to someone's feet.
"Are you all right, are you not hurt!?"
Unfamiliar voices were asking him who had been in the room from the beginning, and he seemed to be nodding towards the people who came.
"I was not injured, thanks to your timely arrival."
(Could it be that……)
"police……?"
The appearance that was too unimaginable confused his thinking logic.With a click, Dilar saw that his right hand was put on an iron handcuff with a cold touch.
"You were arrested for illegal gun possession and attempted murder!"
"what!?"
Dilar struggled to raise his face, but there was no warmth in the gaze on his eyes.
"I remember you! It was the person who was with Ouma back then, and you guys conspired to frame me...!!"
Once named Phoppers, now the member code-named Ogier, he put down his pager and mobile phone, neither intending to get close to Dilar, nor did he intend to run away from him.
"...Athena's actions always have her reasons. Although the president said that it's all your fault, I won't resent you just because of pure anger."
It was a dialogue that only two people could understand, and it was truly his own thoughts.
"But you're too vain, Dillard. It's not the same as it was three years ago, focusing only on your own aesthetics and theory, and belittling all other life. I suffered, Athena suffered, the President suffered Suffering,... and the suffering he has suffered as a BW, you probably don't even know it."
"What the hell are you talking about!?"
"Nonsense?...Don't you even want to understand?"
Sighing from the bottom of his heart for the first time, Ogier squatted in front of Dilar ignoring the police officers' stop.The eyes that always seemed a little lacklustre now contained a firm will, which was not anger, pity, or resentment.
"I don't have the right to punish you, so I borrow the power of the law like this. It's time to pay back what you have done."
Just a declaration and statement of reality,
"You're screwed, Dillard."
It was a cold trial that was absolutely fair to all.
***
There are too many things along the way that I don't know.
Not just in this world, not just on the far side of the earth, sometimes even the various things around me are farther away than the ends of the earth.
A single human being can do many things, but at the same time, the power of a single human being is also very small.
It is precisely because of this that I want to seek help from others, I want to borrow the strength of others, and I want to realize the promise that I am afraid that I cannot complete it alone.
It's not something to be ashamed of, and I can say it quite frankly now.Only by admitting your weakness can you continue to move forward, and only by knowing your own boundaries will you want to let go.After all, if you don't try it, you won't even be able to confirm whether the end of your efforts will be reality or fiction, let alone whether the truth and lies are as cruel and gentle as he said.
Even if it's still very far away, maybe one day——
I can touch the truth that only belongs to "him".
"--Um?"
Blinking, the somewhat blurred vision gradually reflected the things in front of him.It was a silver ring that I hung around my neck with a cowhide rope, and it was lying in my palm at this moment, quietly reflecting the orange light.
This is the middle of the corridor, and I'm lying in front of one of the windows.Looking back and looking down the window, there are still a few figures beside the small bridge where many couples once gathered.
"what……"
If I remember correctly, this should be the place where I first parted ways with my father.
That is to say-
"I'm back..."
After going through that too thrilling time and space journey, I finally returned to my own time.
For me here, the separation may be less than a second, but mentally, it is equivalent to countless adventures that are too long.
"Yeah, Mohara-chan has finally returned to the realm of normal humans~"
"In this way, I can finally rest for a while... eh!?"
The too natural conversation was almost submerged in the subconscious resonance, and before I turned my face to confirm the figure that maybe no longer needed to be confirmed, the smiling face had already moved closer.
"Ah! Long time no see, Zui Yuanjiang! It's been almost a month since I saw you. Are you happy to see me again?"
"King, Wang Ma-kun!? Why are you here...!?"
This should be the world three years from now, right? !
On the contrary, Wang Majun, who received my question, looked very surprised.
"Hey—we came here on the same flight? Mohara-chan doesn't remember at all?"
"Huh? Huh?"
"Obviously, I specially added some TASCO hot sauce to the lunch served with the most original sauce. I want to add excitement to your journey!"
So isn't that a special local taste in Las Vegas...! ?
Recalling the miserable situation of drinking several glasses of water after only taking one bite, I always feel that my heart is about to ache.
"Well, what I just said was a lie to you. In fact, there is something I want to say to Mo Yuanchan!"
Wang Majun didn't make any comments on my suffering, just smiled and patted me on the shoulder.
words, huh....
"Well, I also have something to say to Wang Majun."
Presumably that will be a long, long story that requires us to talk all night.
There is an artificial lake in front of the Bellagio Hotel.The large area makes it an object for tourists to watch and appreciate in their spare time, and it is also a place for many couples to date.
It has been several hours since we got off the plane. In short, we ran to the inside of the casino to complete the necessary matters for accidentally bumping into someone. After that, we changed our clothes and had dinner at the seafood restaurant. Wang Majun and I went for a walk near the lake together. .A moment ago, the sky was still filled with orange-red rosy clouds, but now it has gradually turned into deep blue ink-stained blue, only the semi-circular bright moon exudes a clear light.
"So, where do we start?"
Taking a gentle step, Wang Majun turned his head to ask for my opinion.
At this moment, what is the thing I most want to know.
"...After that, Athena... how did she...?"
"Um--"
According to the original plan, I used the BW perspective to attach to Ogier in order to assist this "scam" designed to deceive myself from the side, but all plans were completely disrupted because of Athena's sudden action .Although Wang Majun, who temporarily came up with the idea of filing, successfully achieved his original goal, he suffered much more damage than expected in the end.But in a sense, Athena's prediction was actually very accurate. If Wang Majun was really asked to go to the appointment like that at that time, maybe...
"I also guessed that most original sauce would be very worried about Athena, after all, most original sauce has the attribute of sister control."
"No, no...! What's more, my sister is only temporary..."
"It's really boring to not completely deny it! Well, as far as the result is concerned, Athena is still alive and well, although she may have to stay in the hospital for a while."
"Really!?"
"Really, so sister-in-law Zuiyuan-chan shouldn't just post it all of a sudden!"
"Hug, sorry..."
A little disgusted and motioned me to stay away, Wang Majun sighed.
"Anyway, Athena is also a member of DICE? Even in that situation, she wouldn't just do nothing and get bumped obediently. What's more, she is a celebrity in cross-dressing, and she exaggerated the extent of her injuries in front of Mohara-chan. It's also entirely possible."
"..."
At that time, Athena, who was undoubtedly seriously injured, apologized to me in the form of Oma-kun.Although I didn't have much energy to think carefully about the meaning of the words at the time, but now I care more and more about it.In the end, did it come from her sincere guilt, or was it just her own speculation about Wang Majun's thoughts.
...Evidently neither of them is the type to apologize obediently.
"The T-shirt was ruined in the car accident, so I have to buy a new one for her when I come to Las Vegas this time~ Although the taste can't be judged at all."
But compared to me, Wang Majun must know Athena better.But at the same time, he must be more worried about her, and he must be anxious about her.
"That's great, Wang Majun."
"Ah, why is it that I feel a little angry when Mohara-chan says that—?"
"Ah ha ha……"
After that, Dilar, who fell into Wang Majun's trap, was successfully arrested. After everything was over, I remembered that I had seen similar reports in the newspapers, but I didn't expect that it would have something to do with me.
The next moment, Wang Majun suddenly moved closer on purpose.
"But let me quietly tell Mohara-chan a little secret, okay? You must--you must not tell Chunchuan-chan!"
"...Why Chunchuan-san?"
"Hehehe, because the policeman I called over was actually Ryuzaki-chan~"
"Eh!?"
The Ryugasaki who is the boss of Harukawa-san? !
No, no, no, it's impossible...!
"That person wants to kill Wang Ma-kun...! How could he listen to Wang Ma-kun..."
"That's why."
Nodding his head like a commentator, Wang Ma Junyang's smile on the corner of his mouth became even happier.
"Assassins have their own creed. If Ryuzaki-chan wants to kill me one day, he has the obligation to ensure that I will not be killed by anyone else before then."
"Eh……"
What a strange theory this is....Is the enemy of my enemy my friend?No, something still seems wrong.
Ignoring my doubts, Wang Majun continued to speak freely.
"Besides, the arrest of Dilar-chan is a difficult event on a global scale, right? It's a casino operation and human trafficking, and the police are all scrambling to catch him~ This is for Ryuzaki-chan himself It can be regarded as profitable, all in all, it is mutual benefit and win-win!"
"Uh, uh... hmm?"
Although it sounds like this is the truth, but after careful consideration, I feel that there is something crucial that is not right.
...Well, anyway, it's a matter that has already been resolved, so there's no point in getting serious about it.
Inadvertently, my eyes glanced at the lake, the very clear water rippled our reflection, although it was illusory, it really existed here.
It seems that the so-called real sense is still not completely in the hands.
How long has it been since I stood side by side with Wang Majun like this?
Maybe it's a week, maybe a month, but for me it's a bit like a thing in my last life.
After all, too many things happened in between, so much that I even lost myself, so much that I didn't have time to celebrate the joy of regaining it.
"In the end, where did Wang Majun go this month?"
I had already blurted out my doubts when I noticed.
Faking his own death, completely disappearing from the sight of all acquaintances, Wang Majun spent a month that only he knew.He who is good at hiding and seeking must not worry about doing it perfectly, after all, we were tricked into even finishing the funeral for him.
The silvery white of the moonlight was reflected in the slanted gaze.
"Huh? Ah, I'm going to travel around the world!"
"Ring, traveling around the world...?"
I was startled by the somewhat beyond-imaginable words and became suspicious, but Wang Majun just put his arms behind his head and began to count them one by one for me.
"It's like riding an elephant in the Amazon rainforest, basking in the sun and eating southern fruits in Hawaii, rowing a canoe in Venice, singing and dancing with beautiful sisters, and visiting the Louvre for reference. The next one I want to steal Works of art or something!"
Eh, eh, so many...?
"...The last one is not something you should do when traveling around the world, is it?"
"Where is it not? It is very important to investigate beforehand? Mohara-chan, please don't underestimate us phantom thieves!"
"No, Wang Ma-kun is not a phantom thief after all..."
The vividly depicted experience is too full of leisure and joy, it can be said that I enjoy life very much, and people can't help but want to sigh.
"Maybe Wang Majun didn't know, I was quite depressed that month... I tried my best to find out more about the truth about Wang Majun's death, but I ran into obstacles one after another and returned without success. Almost gave up."
"I know."
"That's right, after all, Mr. Wang Ma didn't have...Huh?"
He stopped in surprise, and disappeared into mid-air without being able to finish his overly natural reply.After taking two more steps forward, Wang Majun also stopped with his back to me.
"Hehehe, I'm afraid Zuiyuanjiang has forgotten, I'm the biggest liar in the world, huh? So what I said just now is a lie to you... Actually, I didn't go anywhere."
After kicking the sand beside his feet, Wang Majun turned around with open arms.
"After all, didn't the most original sauce tell me? I want a chance to forgive me."
"..."
In the center of the tightly clustered flowers, I once wished that even once, if he could listen to my words and be willing to fulfill my wish.
"Naturally, the evil president with a big heart gave Mohara-chan this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? He even climbed up from hell for this reason!"
Finally, with his hands behind his back and slightly leaning forward, Wang Majun grinned happily.
"I know all the hard work that Yuanjiang has done for me, after all, I have been watching."
The moonlight cast an inconspicuous blush on the side face, but it was enough evidence.
That was the moment when I really touched the "truth".
——Ah, Wang Majun didn't lie this time.
Beside the lake that is so quiet that there are occasional ripples, Wang Majun and I just looked at each other.The breeze blew his side hair in pieces, and his eyes reflected me who was always here.
"Then most original sauce, even though some things are up to now, I still have some questions to ask you."
"...Well, no matter what the question is, I will answer it for you."
With my answer narrowing his eyes, Wang Majun seemed very satisfied with the answer.
"I've asked it before, but I really want to ask it again at the right time."
Maybe I already know the question Wang Majun wanted to ask me.
The raised right hand stretched straight towards me.
"Then ask the question to the most present continuous tense!...Why did the original sauce save me?"
The clear vision does not contain the scheming and tricks all the time. Wang Majun followed his inner thoughts and told me the questions that have been in his heart all the time.That was just a simple question, and to him who was the questioner, it seemed a bit fussy. If it were someone else, he might feel a little overwhelmed.No, this assumption is not very appropriate, after all, it is undoubtedly a question that can only be asked of me.
Why should I save Wang Majun?
Because we are classmates, is helping each other a beautiful virtue of human beings?
No, ordinary students will not be persistent to this extent.People with a magnanimous heart may take the initiative to dedicate themselves to others because of their great love, but I know that I am not such a noble person.
Because we are friends, can't we ignore the difficulties of friends?
No, let alone what I think, Wang Majun definitely does not regard me as his friend.Whether there is a concept of "friends" in his interpersonal network is difficult to determine, and it is absolutely inapplicable to apply this theory to him.
Because we are detectives and criminals, do we have to keep pursuing until we find the truth?
... No, not exactly.There are too many mysteries in Mr. Wang Majun. If I were to sort them out one by one and understand them all, it might take me a lifetime to complete them.Chasing puzzles is a detective's bounden duty and instinct. As long as there is a problem in front of you, you can't help but want to understand and expose it until you get the final truth.So for a detective, it doesn't matter who issued the riddle, as long as the riddle itself exists, everything should be fine.
But what about me?
"Why do I want to save Wang Majun..."
even myself
