"Brother Jingshu?" Kuroki Ren was surprised to hear the name of a partner, who was the eldest among the nine people at that time: "Do you have any news about brother Jingshu?"
Eiji Shiiki shook his head: "After you left, Keishu and Kenji took us to another place to stay, but within a few days there was a conflict between us."
Jiangcheng Dahe came in from the door at this time. He frowned slightly when he heard the words, but did not interrupt and allowed Shiiki Hideshi to continue.
Eiji Shiiki also noticed him and laughed: "Daika and Kenji had a fight, and Taiga left in anger. During the next day, Kabuto also disappeared."
"In the end, it was just Jingshu and me."
Eiji Shiiki recalled: "He took care of me for two years. On my 11th birthday, he said he would go out to buy me a cake and never came back."
Kuroki Jin was silent. He had asked Ekinari Taiga and Chiga Airi about these matters in the early years, but both of them were vague, so he didn't know what differences caused them to part ways at that time.
"Because of trust." Jiangcheng Dahe said. He sat across from the bed and looked directly at Shiiki Hideshi: "We know each other's darkest past and share the same scars. Seeing each other is like seeing the unbearable version of ourselves.
.”
"Hinping, maybe you haven't discovered a trait about yourself."
Shiiki Hideshi smiled, and from Kuroki Jin's angle, you can still see the water in his eyes.
"You make no secret of your shortcomings, and you won't feel inferior or hurt because of him. This kind of sunny mentality is probably why Dahe stays by your side."
If he had reunited with Fukamizu Hinata earlier, would he be different now?
Heimuren looked at Jiang Chengdahe, who nodded calmly: "That's right."
Eiji Shiki smiled cheerfully. He looked at the ceiling, suppressed his smile and said lightly: "I will join the organization."
Without waiting for Kuroki Jin to persuade him again, Shiiki Hideshi quickly said: "Since you gave me this option, Hinata, it means that it is beneficial to you... Forgive me for using this word, my thinking has been like this for more than 10 years.
"
"Since I can help you, then I will help you. I sincerely do so."
…
"We will go back now, and I will report to the boss."
Heimuren yawned, held Huiyuan Ai in one hand, and said to Jiang Chengdahe: "Brother Aluo, I have to trouble you to take care of this place."
"I know." Jiang Chengdahe responded with a serious face.
"That's not what I meant... forget it." Kuroki Ren shook his head and pinched the bridge of his nose to relieve fatigue, "He is still injured, don't irritate him."
Jiang Chengdahe reluctantly softened his expression, turned around and returned to the ward after Kuro Muren left, and sat on a chair.
Out of sight and out of mind, Eiji Shiiki closed his eyes and took a deep breath as if he was about to fall asleep.
"Do you want to take a break?"
Hui Yuan Ai persuaded him softly. She saw that Heimuren's face was paler than before.
Kuroki Jin shook his head: "We still have to report to Brandy, and Bat's decision to join the organization also needs to go through him."
"Brandy..." Hui Yuan Ai frowned, "Is this what you said without using gin?"
"Yeah." Kuroki Jin nodded and started the vehicle: "Bat had better not be too closely tied to Gin. What he said is indeed right. Joining the organization is the best thing for me."
Kuroki Jin admitted that the choice he gave contained his own selfishness, and Shiiki Hideshi revealed his selfishness at a glance and chose without hesitation.
He used this to repay Kuroki Jin's trust.
"But I still have to think about how to report to Brandy."
Kuroki drove slowly, and the car fell into silence. Kuroki calmed down, and then asked: "What did you see in the spider's dream?"
"I saw my parents." Haiyuan Ai didn't look at Kuroki Ren, but looked at the sun that had just risen in front of him, squinting his eyes slightly: "I saw them giving up escaping from the fire, and only asked people to carry me out.
.”
"If we estimate the time, I went to the United States not long after that."
Before Kuroki Jin could say anything, Haihara Ai continued: "I want to find the person who forced my parents, no matter who he is."
Kuroki Ren said "Yeah" from his throat, and then raised the corners of his mouth, "I'll be with you."
Hui Yuan Ai's determined momentum paused. She turned to look at him, raised her eyebrows and said, "What if the two of you are found?"
If Gin and Belmode were also involved in what happened back then, what would Kuroki Jin do?
Especially Bellmode, she never concealed her malice towards the Miyano family.
Kuroki Ren's eyes were gentle. He freed up a hand to rub the hair of the person next to him. The latter shook his head dissatisfiedly.
"Shiho." His eyes were blazing, as if the sun was rising in his eyes.
"I love you." His vow echoed in the carriage.
Kuroki Jin didn't have much time. After sending Haibara Ai back, he immediately drove to Toto University and waited in the woods for Kurokawa Shu to finish class.
Brandy is probably not free at night, so he can only report things during the day.
If it was Gin, Kuroki would naturally say whatever he wanted. Gin knew everything about his past, so Kuroki didn't have to hide it.
Brandy was different. All he knew was Porter who had graduated from the organization base and was the operations director who had just been promoted to S this year, so Kuroki Jin couldn't tell him the truth.
Just as he was thinking, he noticed someone approaching him.
Kuroki Jin opened his eyes, Kurokawa Zhou was not angry and proud, carrying his briefcase, he must have just finished class.
Hei Mu stood up from the grass and showed an enthusiastic smile.
"Good morning, Professor Kurokawa."
Kurokawa Zhou nodded, "Let's go to the office to talk."
Kuroki Ren followed obediently, like a good student following the teacher.
Students greeted Kurokawa Zhou along the way, and the latter nodded indifferently. The students had long been accustomed to it, so when they looked at Kuroki Ren, they unconsciously had a trace of pity in their eyes.
Kuroki Ren:……
In the end, he himself couldn't help but feel sad.
Kurokawa Zhou put down his briefcase, took out the teacup and put it on the table. He raised his head and asked curiously, Kuroki Jin, who was standing at the door like a child who made a mistake: "What's wrong with you?"
"...Nothing." Almost being led astray, Kuroki Ren quickly sat down and took the tea set from Kurokawa Zhou's hand.
Fortunately, these things are taught by the organization - so that they may have to work latent in the future, they have learned countless things at the organization's training base.
Kuroki Jin quietly made tea, and Kurokawa Zhou didn't rush to urge him. He took off his glasses, half-leaned on the back of the chair, and his eyes fell on Kuroki Jin's body.
"It's quite neat." He commented on Kuroki Jin's movements, "It's very organized."
Kuroki Ren divided the teacups and sat upright: "This doesn't seem to be a compliment."
Kurokawa Zhou sneered: "If a knowledgeable person looks at it, it will be easy to see that you are using the same mold and associate your identities."
Seeing that Kuroki Jin had something to say, Kurokawa Zhou waved his hand and said: "I just mentioned it after seeing it. I also know that it is indeed harsh, and ordinary people will not see it."
