The other side of the perfect world

Chapter 6 Verification

#06 Verification

Turn off the mobile terminal, and the air floating in the narrow room seems to be filled with lead, very heavy.

"I have seen the beast that misunderstood its prey today."

The voice full of laughter pierced the self-esteem of the cunning, he turned his head and stared at Makishima viciously, his soft face was as calm as ever.

"You're angry?"

"angry?"

Qiao Niu punched the side of the laptop, and since he was sitting on the bed, the punch didn't hurt.

"Even if I'm angry, it's not aimed at you!"

"Ha ha……"

Contrary to the wrath that the cunning could hold back, Makishima had a hearty smile on his face.He likes to see Qiao Yao frustrated, not because Qiao Yao is his opponent, not because Qiao Yao has killed him, but simply thinks that only in this way can he see the other side of this man that is rarely known.

He is curious about everything about cunning.

"I'm angry and you're laughing, don't you think it's rude?"

If it was half a year ago, Koujima would not have said such things to Makishima. One of them is a policeman and the other is a criminal. There is nothing else except the intersection of the cases, and this kind of talk sounds more like a chat between friends .

A friend is a relationship that should never exist between him and Makishima.

"Disrespectful? I think I will probably do even more disrespectful things in the future. What should I do?"

Meeting Makishima's scorching gaze, Kou felt his heart beating faster!

Every beat stimulates the blood vessels in the whole body, peeling off the hard shell of reason little by little.Since when did it start, as long as he looked at Makishima, he couldn't help breathing harder, and his chest was filled with strange agitation.For him, such a strong reaction does not bode well.

"If you look at me like this again, I will misunderstand."

Makishima put her face close to the cunning who was staring at him intently, and carefully stretched out the tip of her red tongue, licking around her lips.

This time around, the licking was very slow.

He did it on purpose.

As smart as he is, it's impossible not to notice the increasingly abnormal behavior of Qiao Yao when facing him.

Perhaps, this man... likes him.

For the first time in his life, Makishima questioned that conclusion while drawing it.There is nothing in this world, including the Sibyl system, that he cannot see through, and there is nothing that he can see through.

The only one other than that unexpected one - Shinya Koo.

For this man, all his knowledge, all his means, all his plans, even all his beliefs would be shattered.

Only this man, he wasn't sure.

All conclusions can only be framed with a vague border of "maybe".

The beating of the heart was a little abnormal, and Makishima was not sure if Kouwa was trying to hide this abnormality like him.

In front of his eyes, the sharp-edged face was only a nose-tip away from him, and the shiny black pupils swirled with a halo of surprise.

And, desire.

thump!

The moment her thin lips parted slightly, her body was pushed down.

The right to speak was sealed, a large piece of the mattress was sunken, and many wrinkles suddenly appeared on the snow-white sheets.Carrying the weight of two grown men, the narrow single bed creaked unbearably.

Makishima's golden pupils were wider than usual, reflecting the face of the man in front of him.

This face is very serious.

As if being pressed heavily by a rock, his chest was trembling, and the weak breath he exhaled was mixed with a gnawing breath, which was warm and boiled Makishima's blood little by little.

Time seemed to stand still.

Makishima and Qiao Yao just looked at each other, neither of them opened their mouths, and neither of them moved.

After a long while, a faint smile was drawn on the thin lips, and Makishima raised his hands, wrapping his arms around Sly's neck.

"you……"

The outstretched tongue was almost bitten by the teeth, and Kou found that his body was approaching Makishima unknowingly, until it was attached to the opponent's strong chest.

Body temperature blended with body temperature, melting the thin fabric.

hot... very hot...

Beads of sweat oozed from the back of the neck, forehead and temples, knowing that he was not in the sauna, but he was so hot that he was about to suffocate.

What is Makishima thinking?What are you doing?What exactly do you want to do?

Problems came one after another, and the thinking that had always been neatly arranged like the teeth of a comb suddenly became chaotic.Because of Makishima, the man he should have killed but couldn't kill a second time.

"You...are nervous..."

The lips close to the ears spit out such words, and Qiao Nian couldn't help being shocked.

nervous……

I'm actually... nervous?

He never felt nervous before facing twisted criminals, when his life was in danger, and even when he was demoted from a surveillance officer to an executive officer. Why would he...

Makishima Seigo, what does this man mean to me?

Suddenly, the shoulders were supported, and before he could crawl out of the quagmire of doubts, Kouchi was counterattacked by Makishima.

thump!

Turned over, this time he was pressed on his back on the bed, above, Makishima was smiling, his eyes and the corners of his mouth were smiling.The condescending gaze scanned his body unceremoniously. The beautiful golden pupils seemed to be equipped with a perspective device, which made him tremble with fear.

"what are you doing……"

Koujima waved his hand to push Makishima away, but Makishima grabbed his wrist instead.The five fingers branded on the skin are very slender, but full of strength.

This guy……

The upper and lower teeth are clenched, and I have been wondering why Makishima, who looks intellectual and thin, can match him in terms of skill. Could it be that he has been trained in fighting since he was a child?

"I said, are you in a daze?"

Holding on to Kouya's wrist, Makishima narrowed his eyes.

"It's really admirable to be able to distract yourself even when I'm pressing you down."

"let me go!"

Koujima doesn't like to have physical contact with Makishima - reason tells himself so, but even so, he was the first to overthrow Makishima, and he was the first to touch Makishima.

Smiling and letting go of his hand, Makishima nimbly jumped off the bed, and took away the cunning laptop.

"You should rest well tonight, letting the prey live another night is also the performance of a beast gentleman."

"what!"

Without the "temptation" of Makishima, Kouchi relaxed his body and mind, resting his head on his arms, and said with a wry smile, "Who said I got the wrong prey?"

"Well... I'll find out tomorrow if I'm not mistaken."

Shaking the notebook in his hand, Makishima walked to the wall and was about to turn off the light when a hesitant voice came from beside him.

"Are you going to sleep on the floor tonight?"

"Why, will you agree to let me go to bed?"

Makishima tilted his head slightly, observing Kouchi's expression from the corner of his eye, but what he saw was still a stone-like serious face.

"I wish you could soften your face when facing me."

"what……"

Sneaky sneered, turned his back to Makishima, and murmured: "When you are no longer an anti-social criminal, maybe I can consider it."

"Really? So... then you will be willing to share the bed with me?"

"Hey!"

Turning abruptly to face Makishima, Koiichi widened his eyes.

"Stop making such jokes!"

Being scolded, Makishima just shrugged, tapped his slender fingers, and pressed the light switch.

The room was suddenly dark.

After a long while, there was the sound of sleepy breathing on the single bed.

Makishima walked to the bed silently, and through the faint moonlight, he could see him stretching out his hand to Qiao Niu.

Light white fingertips approached those slightly parted lips a little bit, and the warm breath drove away the coldness above them intimately.

Then...the fingers stopped.

What am I doing?

Mockingly cocked his lips, Makishima withdrew his hand, walked to the small wooden table and sat on the floor, opened his notebook, and connected his mobile terminal to the computer.

This series of movements is very light, so light that it will definitely not wake up the sleeping man.

Soon, a page jumped out of the dimly lit screen, and the most conspicuous thing on the page was a photo——

A picture of a pale, middle-aged man.

"Oda... Kiyoya..."

The beautiful lips once again outlined the shape of a smile, Makishima glanced sideways at the bed in the darkness while moving his fingers quickly.

On the bed, a cunning figure could be seen faintly.

Contrary to his sweet sleep, his night might be another sleepless night.

A new day always comes unexpectedly.

Tearing open the cheap instant coffee bought from a convenience store, Kouchi hesitated for a long time before slowly making a cup for Makishima.

"Heh, you are much more kind to me now than you were a few days ago."

"Don't get me wrong, it's just a thank you."

"grateful?"

"Yeah, you were helping me investigate the incident last night! Don't think I don't know anything because I fell asleep."

"So that's true, that's right, I recognize your insight!"

After accepting the hot coffee with a smile on his face, Makishima casually lowered his eyes and held the cup wall with both hands.This little action happened to be seen by Qiao Niu who turned around, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"You... don't you feel cold?"

"Ok?"

Raising his head, Makishima continued to smile after realizing that Koujima was staring at his hands.

"My hands are always cold, it's just a habit, you don't need to care about it."

"Oh!"

He drank half a cup of coffee with his neck back, and sneaked a few glances at Makishima from the corner of his eye from time to time.

Can't calm down... For some reason, his heart can't calm down at all.

Makishima, who doesn't use a razor, doesn't destroy, and doesn't harm anyone... suddenly makes him feel a little cute.

How could I have such an idea?

Qiao Yao felt that he was crazy, this man who almost subverted the whole country, this man who regards human life as nothing, he actually finds it cute? !

"Don't be in a daze, drink quickly, let's go after drinking this cup!"

"It seems that you have found a clue?"

Putting down the coffee cup, the entanglement on Sly's face disappeared, and once it was related to the case, any distracting thoughts would be discarded in an instant.

Hunting down prey is the only thing he, a beast that has bitten off its collar, should do.

"Don't worry, although you are no longer a hound, your sense of smell is still very keen."

"If you say that..."

"Hey, that's right, the suspect you caught last night is indeed not that innocent."

Putting on the new light gray-blue trench coat ordered online, Makishima smiled contentedly.Unlike cunning, he pays great attention to his personal image.

"But I don't think that the monitor, oh no, the Dominator who is the executive officer will make mistakes."

"You have exhausted all the words by yourself, so what can you do?"

Putting on the black fur-collar jacket that has never changed for thousands of years, Sly put the revolver on his waist, and his movements were as crisp and neat as ever.He always carries this pistol, which is enough to enter the history museum as a display of cultural relics. After all, it is the weapon that killed Makishima Shōgo.

"Couldn't you be in love with killing people? If the suspect is also immune to crime, you plan to use this pistol to kill him?"

"How could it be! I'm not like someone who kills without blinking an eye."

To Makishima's question, Kouchi shrugged nonchalantly.

"Also, I don't believe that immunity constitution has become so popular."

"makes sense……"

Opening the door, Makishima, who was walking in front, gave Kou a positive response, and then turned around.

"Let us verify it, the intuition of the beast or the eyes of the Sibyl system, which one is more effective?"

"Verification? How to verify?"

Sly asked in a serious voice.He can be sure that Makishima must have some important information about the suspect last night—important information that can overturn Dominator's judgment.

It was just one night. Where did this man find out?besides……

Does this incident really have nothing to do with Makishima?

A wave of uneasiness swept over, sweeping away the peace in his chest.

Kou couldn't help but wonder if he was acting according to the script written by Makishima, and whether all this was Makishima's revenge against the Sibilla system?At any time, he should not and cannot take his guard lightly with regard to Makishima Shōgo, otherwise... a blurry picture suddenly flashed in front of his eyes - Yuji Kanehara, Masago Midou, Rikako Wang Ling, Toyohisa Izumiguji, Funahara Snow... and his good partner Sasao Yamamitsu appeared one by one, lashing his nerves like a whip.

Could it be...are these guys reminding me not to get too close to Makishima?

He has always been going forward bravely, this time, he really walked into a dead end...

Snapped!

The forehead was slapped!

Subconsciously covering his reddened forehead with his hand, it took him two seconds to realize that the person who hit him was Makishima who was standing at the gate earlier.

Putting his hands in the pockets of his coat, Makishima put away his rare smile.Kou felt that Makishima in front of him seemed to be angry.

"I know you can't trust me, but this is the only thing I want to declare in advance, this incident...has nothing to do with me!"

The heart thumped, and this beating was slightly different from usual.Cunning knows that he may be an expert in catching criminals, but he is a complete layman when it comes to heartbeat types.

"I……"

"If you have time to think about it, it's better to spend it on the incident. Don't forget, you are not an executive, but a wolf."

wolf...

Hearing this appellation, Cunning couldn't help grinning.He likes to compare himself to beasts, especially wolves.

Sure enough, Makishima knew himself well.

"If I'm a wolf, what are you?"

"I?"

Rolling his eyes, Makishima thought that the question of the cunning was very interesting. He seemed to never have thought about what he should be if he used a thing to describe himself.Touching his chin involuntarily, he racked his brains for the first time.

And this way of thinking also became very interesting in the eyes of the cunning.

"Forget it, you can think about this question slowly, and it won't be too late to talk about it after we first verify whether my intuition is correct. The question is... how to verify it?"

"yes……"

Focusing back to the original question, Makishima and Kouchi walked out of the room one after the other.When the dilapidated door was closed, Makishima approached Kouchi and said, "Roppongi General Hospital is where we are going to conduct verification."
