【Chi'an】Lies Tetralogy

Chapter 6

The feeling of kissing Amuro was even better than Akai imagined.

But Amuro's reaction was different from what he had imagined.When their lips parted, Akai saw in Amuro's eyes shock, bewilderment, and for a moment - fear.

The distance between them was still very close, so close that Akai could see Amuro's eyelashes trembling, and could feel Amuro's breathing becoming more and more rapid.Did you scare him?Akai couldn't help stretching out his hand again: "Amuro..."

Perhaps it was his call that brought Amuro back to his senses, the young man stepped back abruptly, and his back hit the inside of the car door.Akai looked at his vigilant look, feeling a little amused and a little hurt.You can't defend yourself like this, can you?

"Sorry, I just... thought I could."

Akai carefully tried to ease the atmosphere.After all, Amuro is also a qualified agent, so he quickly controlled himself and returned to his normal state in a blink of an eye.No, it's better to say that he has returned to the alienated state he used to treat Akai in the first place.

"Don't think that you can get carried away with just one cooperation." Amuro said calmly, but the gaze that he deliberately looked away showed that he was still a little uncomfortable at the moment.Staring at the flickering lights of cars on the street ahead, he paused and added, "I haven't forgiven you yet."

"I know."

"So stop doing such unnecessary things."

"……I try my best."

Amuro gave him a blank look. "And take care of your subordinates, don't let them add chaos to various scenes."

"Does this mean that you agree to maintain communication with the FBI in the future?" Akai said wearily. "I can tell you an emergency contact number." He reported a series of numbers, and Amuro didn't respond, but Akai knew that he had memorized them in his heart.

"Anything else?"

Amuro finally turned to him again, and for a second, Akai felt that Amuro's expression seemed a bit sad, but the car door was opened immediately, his arms sank, and the AW338 was thrown back into his arms.Akai looked up and saw Amuro standing outside the car door with a calm and determined face.

"Go back to America early and never come back here!"

Amuro didn't sleep well all night.The dead people walked through his dream, and their figures gradually drifted away like sand. He tried to hold them back, but the palms of his hands were pricked by thorns and blood flowed.There was only one straight road between the spiked hedges, and he had to walk alone, but he didn't know what the end would be.Then Amuro vaguely heard someone calling his name, he couldn't help but stop and look around anxiously, but he couldn't see where that person was.

who are you?

no.can no longer...

Although he did not sleep well, Amuro cheered up and went to work in the coffee shop every day.It happened that the daughter of the Mori family went to a classmate's house that day, and Kogoro solved a commission with the help of Amuro, and he was in a good mood when he got the reward, so he took Anshi out to drink with him.

When the night fell again, Amuro helped Kogoro back, who couldn't even walk steadily, and was deeply worried about the uncle's liver function.

"Mr. Maori, it's getting late, I..."

He thought about how to get away, but Kogoro grabbed his neck again and yelled for another drink.Amuro was smiling wryly, when suddenly a hand stretched out from behind and removed Moori's paw on his shoulder.

Looking back, Okiya Subaru was standing there smiling. "Let me help take Mr. Maori home."

He steadily supported Kogoro towards the red Subaru parked aside.Amuro froze for a moment, then followed.

Coming down from Mori Detective Agency, Amuro thanked Okiya. "Speaking of which, why are you there?"

"Just passing by by chance." Okiya still smiled. "Where do you live? I'll take you back by the way."

"No, I want to take a walk nearby."

"Ah, I just happen to have nothing to do, so let's go for a walk together if you don't mind?"

Amuro was a little surprised, but thinking about his experience at Kudo's house last time, he felt that this person's character might be so incredible.So he acquiesced to Okiya's invitation.

The two walked together along the street, left 5-chome, and walked to the river with a quiet causeway.Along the way, we talked about some irrelevant topics, such as Okiya's major courses in school, hobbies about cars, and so on.For some reason, Amuro always feels a familiar aura inexplicably, and he can't tell where it is familiar, but he feels a little peace in his heart.

Okiya was the first to mention their strange meeting last time.

"I haven't seen you since then, come and sit with me when you have time."

"Well...thank you, if you're free." Amuro smiled vaguely, thinking that if this person is really just a folk, it's better not to have too much involvement with him.But he suddenly became curious.

"Why do you have so many hidden cameras in your house?"

"Ah, that. One of the courses I took was related to security technology. There was an experiment to design the distribution of observation points without dead ends, so I used my room to try it out."

"You really have the spirit of research." Amuro stopped and leaned on the railing by the river to look at the reflection of the lights on the water. "School life is very precious. Compared to this, it's better to hang out with friends more."

"Mr. Amuro had many friends when he was in school, right?"

"..." Those days in the police academy came to Amuro's mind, and he was a little dazed for a while. "Not many. And because I came out to work later, I basically didn't have any contact."

"That's it."

Maybe it was because I inadvertently showed bitterness, or maybe the other party had a special motive in the first place, Amuro heard Okiya push the boat and said: "If possible, I would like to be friends with Mr. Amuro."

He turned his face away, Okiya's expression was ambiguous and unpredictable, as if wearing a mask.Suddenly, Akai's figure flashed in Amuro's mind.Amuro remembered that he had forced Okiya to admit that he was Akai, that scene was absurd now, but then he thought that if he should have slapped on this person at that time, but it was really too rude .Then Amuro thought about what expression Akai would have if he knew that Okiya was interested in him.

He stared at the other party cautiously for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Is there anything funny?"

"No," said Amuro, "I just thought of someone..."

"What kind of person?"

Amuro lowered his shoulders again and leaned over the railing. "Self-righteous, difficult, cunning, aggressive, likes to wear a silly hat, sneaks around, makes people angry, always harassing my liar..."

Okiya Subaru couldn't help laughing. "Sounds like a really useless person."

"Haha, right? But somehow, it feels like he's the only one by my side now."

They stood there letting the evening wind blow, and after a while, Okiya adjusted his glasses. "It sounds like you like him very much."

Amuro looked up, and the night sky in Tokyo was glowing with a faint red light. "Maybe." He said flatly. "But I can't be with that guy."

Absolutely not.

Akai felt that if he went on like this, he was really in danger of being identified as a stalker.

After returning to the car, he took off his cross-dressing, and the graduate student at Dongdu University transformed back into a senior FBI investigator in a second.Akai got full marks in the follow-up course during his secret service training, but he is still not sure whether he will be discovered by Amuro one day, especially after Amuro has already decided that he is "self-righteous, difficult, cunning, aggressive, likes to wear a silly hat, In the case of the elusive, infuriating, always harassing liar".

He watched Amuro walking slowly on the deserted street alone, the young man's back looked a little thin.Akai watched him walk into the high-rise apartment building where he lived, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and lit a cigarette.He began to think about the words he had just given up.

This feeling is confusing. It is said that he has been dumped twice by the same person under the different identities of Akai and Okiya. It is quite worth going to drink a glass of wine to mourn for himself; It's really disgusting, on the contrary, Amuro also has the same feelings as him, doesn't he?

So why...

Akai slowly tugged at the center of his brow.This may not be something that can be answered by reasoning.

He rolled down the window a little and glanced up the stairs.The lights in Amuro's room were still off.Ordinarily, it should have been a few minutes since I got home... Did I just go back to sleep?

Akai felt a little stupid to find himself worried about such a thing.He sat up straight again, thinking about whether to leave now; at this moment, the window he was concerned about suddenly burst with a bang.

Akai rushed out of the car before the broken glass fell to the roof.

Amuro noticed something was wrong when he turned the door key.

The room has been broken into.

He slowly lowered his center of gravity and pulled out the gun with one hand.The room was pitch black, and Anshi moved slowly against the wall. The moment the door closed, he heard something rush towards him.
