Decades later, Karasuma Renye found an extremely appropriate word to describe Kashasha's actions that year:
Touch porcelain.
…………
After arriving at the destination, the researcher was still sleeping soundly in the back seat of the car. Renye Karasuma poked him with his hand but did not wake him up.
He began to think about whether Lin Xingji was well prepared and strategizing, or whether he was simply heartless... It seemed more like the latter.
After five minutes, Renye Karasuma gave up thinking about Lin Xingji's brain circuit, and decided to wait until the researcher woke up. There is no need to be so anxious after he has already obtained it. Karasuma Renye has the patience to deal with Lin Xingji.
He looked through Lin Xingji's information again, but found no additional gains.
After waking up, the researcher was treated like a guest. Lin Xingji bathed, changed clothes and tidied himself up step by step, and then had dinner together at Karasuma Renye's invitation——
Karasuma Renye actually regretted talking to Lin Xingji at the dinner table. Because the researcher seems only interested in catching something and eating it.
But he was not really offended by Lin Xingji's performance. It could be seen that the researcher was indeed very hungry. After all, there was nothing edible in the trash can.
"You almost appeared out of nowhere, Mr. Lin Xingji." Karasuma Renye considered the topic, "I have to say that you have done a good job of keeping the information confidential... So far, all the forces staring at you can only I found out that you are Japanese, and your experience and study process seem to be in a fog."
He noticed that the researcher's expression darkened for a moment.
"Yes, the Japanese... this is the initial setting of this world. Even if my name is obviously not like it. Everyone damn thinks so..."
Karasuma Renye actually couldn't quite understand what Lin Xingji was muttering. It seemed that something was filtering out the information he should have captured. Fortunately, Lin Xingji soon started talking about some topics he could understand.
"My origin is actually not important. If I were to explain it in detail, I can't even explain it myself." The researcher wiped the corners of his mouth after drinking and eating, "I believe you are curious as to why I chose you, Mr. Karasuma."
Karasuma Renye nodded, he was indeed curious.
He noticed that the rhythm of the conversation was unknowingly controlled by Lin Xingji, but Renye Karasuma, who had always been strong, could hardly be alerted by this.
The researcher's expression was filled with indescribable excitement, which attracted him involuntarily.
"I've been looking for collaborators. To be honest, I have a lot of choices, but there are also a lot of unreliable ones." The researcher bit his fork and frowned childishly, "I don't like official power and I'm not very free. That's why I have excluded some of them; and then, well... although the conditions offered by many foreign institutions are very attractive, I want to stay in Japan."
"After some selection, there are still many institutions to choose from... After meeting the hard conditions, I started to select the bonus points: the power must be strong enough to at least protect me, a hot potato; ah, you must also have money and have Money is important. And, of course, most importantly, like-mindedness.”
Karasuma Renye felt a little ridiculous: "So you go through all the trouble just to... find a collaborator?"
"They are like-minded collaborators." Lin Xingji corrected him, "Selection needs to be done in both forward and reverse directions... The academic summit in country E is a good opportunity. You found me, which is great for us. The fate of words.”
At this point, the researcher seemed a little shy: "So, you are my ideal collaborator, Mr. Karasuma."
With a kind of innocence that makes people laugh.
Karasuma Renye knew that the initiative had fallen into his hands again, cooperation? A guy like Lin Xingji who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth will be eaten to the bone by him.
"What capital do you have?" Karasuma Renye said calmly and calmly.
"I have single-handedly subverted the entire biomedical world..." the researcher said lazily, "You are not an insider, but if you talk to any biologist with some status, you will know that I have nothing An exaggeration.”
"It's not capital, it's the source of your misfortune."
"I fucked country E for nearly a week without getting caught."
"But you can't escape from me."
"It's a bit hard to please... and another thing is, I know you are going to die." The researcher finally dropped the bullet, "And I can help."
Karasuma Renye was not surprised. In fact, he had been waiting for this sentence subconsciously. The revolver at his waist was unsheathed, and he pointed the muzzle at the researcher's forehead.
"This is not capital, but provocation." Karasuma Renye said.
When he made this move, all the bodyguards lurking in the room responded and pointed cold instruments at Lin Xingji, but the latter remained calm and composed, even holding a lemon tea and sipping it.
"But you're dying, that's a fact. Even as you talk to me, aging is eating away at your body bit by bit. Aging is a disease caused by genetic mutations, and there is no cure. It's The symptoms are premature aging, and the faces of teenagers are the same as those of the elderly...Ah, you are very lucky, it probably started to develop in your teens."
Lin Xingji said,
"There are also some obvious characteristics, such as bird-shaped head, sparse hair, underweight, small stature... and painful complications. The entire Karasuma family carries this curse, but in your generation, it should be in you It came true.”
Karasuma Renye's hand holding the gun shook.
Aging disease...the name of the curse that has always haunted their family. Lin Xingji said that the score was accurate, including the characteristics when the curse occurred. The bird-shaped head characteristics even made them known as the crow family.
And Lin Xingji still continued to drop bombshells:
"I know you are not the real Karasuma Renye. You should be his descendant or grandson? After Karasuma Renye's sudden death, in order to prevent the entire family from falling apart, you, who aged prematurely, resembled the head of the family. Being used as a puppet in a high position.”
"Of course, you are very powerful. Even though there are many shackles, you have used the identity of Karasuma Renye to gradually conquer the forces that used to belong to the old family master, gain real power bit by bit, and liquidate those who took advantage of you. From this point on ...It’s quite admirable.”
The biggest secret was exposed, but Karasuma Renye was not too angry and panicked. On the contrary, he sighed lightly and ordered:
"Sit still and don't move, Lin Xingji."
"Huh?" The researcher holding the lemon tea was slightly confused.
But soon, he knew why.
There was the sound of a machine sliding inside the room, and something protruded from the wall. It was the matte barrel of a machine gun. Immediately, firepower spurted out, and bullets ricocheted through the space mercilessly.
And the position where he and Karasuma Renye were sitting happened to be a blind spot not covered by fire.
