After three pauses, the gray-haired young man suddenly stood up, sat back on the chair and crossed his legs.
He observed Scotland's condition with great interest, but the latter remained calm with an indifferent smile.
Although he planned to "interrogate" Scotland, Kawakamiji had neither professional drugs nor professional tools at hand, and he was not prepared to leave harm to Scotland that could be seen by outsiders. Therefore, the main focus is on the psychological game that is quite satisfactory.
"I'm sorry, I can't." Scotland's voice was low, "Kashasha, let me go. It was indeed my mistake to shoot you, but it doesn't mean you can take such an advantage -"
Kawakamiji interrupted Scotland.
"——You really can't. It's not that you refuse subjectively, but that you don't have the ability objectively.
"In short, you can't describe your own feelings to me. You have a disorder in emotional perception...maybe it's a birth defect?"
"As for pushing the envelope, how can you call it pushing the envelope when it comes to communicating with your partner, right? I'm obviously caring about you, so you should thank me..."
Having said this, the gray-haired young man showed a mean smile and moved closer to Scotland.
"According to my previous inference, there is a problem with your ability to perceive emotions - tsk, I think you will refute this, Scotland, why don't you show your anger to me?"
Scotland's smile didn't change and he rolled his eyes.
"Ah, thank you for your cooperation."
The gray-haired young man stood up and stuffed a lemon candy into his mouth.
"You can still roll your eyes, which means that the birth defect can be ruled out. So it is another possibility, the influence of drugs."
"It seems you ate something after taking me to the hospital."
"Actually, before today, your mood swings have always been very indifferent. I thought it was due to your personality... Now it seems that it is not."
"You should be taking some kind of medicine periodically." The gray-haired young man said with certainty, "And that kind of medicine can suppress your emotions."
Kawakami has considered maintaining the status quo before.
After all, he still has to pretend to be "Kashasha" whose memory has been cleaned, and Scotland's character points are basically all together... There is no need to be too close to Scotland.
But that's without a significant change in Scotland's form.
Now this guy has shot at him, and it has reached this point. It is impossible for Kashasha not to notice the abnormality of the other party, and it is even more impossible to sit idly by and do nothing after discovering the abnormality.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Seeing that Scotland seemed ready to speak, Kawakami Tsumugi stretched out a finger and waved it in front of his eyes:
"Don't rush to refute it. The organization will definitely not let you tell others about this. I don't care about the specific reason why you need to take medicine regularly."
"Just a trivial curiosity."
"So you tied me up?"
"Don't forget that it was you who shot first. I can only reciprocate as a courtesy."
The gray-haired young man said. He carefully looked at Scotland's expression. From the other's tense muscles, he could feel that Scotland was suppressing something.
Let him think about it... It's been almost three minutes. No matter how hard Scotland grinds, it's time to untie the rope.
It seems that this interrogation is coming to an end. Although he kept talking, Kawakami had already got the answer he wanted from Scotland's reaction.
"That's it."
Scotland whispered,
"This is really between me and the organization."
Kawakamiji reacted quickly and jumped up from his chair the next second he heard these words. Stand back, put a safe distance away from Scotland, and then symbolically raise your Colt.
Scotland stood up from the sofa, rubbed his arms, and untied the rope on his legs.
The nylon rope fell to the ground.
"That's it? But this is inconsistent with what you did before..."
Kawakami Tsumugi said slowly,
"While taking drugs, even if we were friends before, you shouldn't have any special feelings for me. Isn't that why you came to me specifically? Don't you want to confirm something from my reaction?"
Is that what he thinks? Scotland froze.
He also understands Kawakami Tsuyoshi's suspicious nature, but according to convention, this guy shouldn't point this out.
So this is considered a test.
Scotland's ever-present fake smile was somewhat sincere: "I don't mean to take advantage of him, we are indeed friends."
Kawakami shrugged, put down his pistol, and ate another lemon candy.
Judging from his expression, he clearly didn't believe Scotland's words, but he seemed to be pleased by Scotland's words about friends.
"Besides, I can't get any answers from you. Something happened to us, which I regret." Scotland continued.
He saw a crack in the gray-haired young man's expression.
"In your state, Kashasha, don't you want to know what's going on more than I do?"
…………
[So people’s physiques are really different. 】
[Some people’s IQs are almost cleared after memory cleaning, and some people become more difficult to deal with after brainwashing, tsk. 】
Kawakami Tsumugi complained in his mind.
[Why has Scotland become so in need of a beating? I didn’t teach him a lesson, all because I was afraid of “Kashasha” ooc...]
Just as he was confronting Scotland, the vibrating sound of his cell phone suddenly rang.
The guy who disturbed the atmosphere was Gin, and he also brought a task that disturbed the atmosphere even more. Soon, Scotland and Kawakami had to pack their things and prepare to go out.
Twenty minutes later, Kawakami was lying on the roof of the building, holding a sniper rifle, yawning profusely. It might be because the fever had not fully recovered, but he felt a dull pain near his temples.
[Actually, according to the control variable method... brainwashing and amnesia, you and Scotland are not facing the same situation. ] The Mad Hatter commented, [It's just memory cleaning, it won't affect human nature too much, mind control is different. 】
[Doesn’t it affect your nature? What you mean is that I am quite easy to deceive, right? Which side are you on? 】Kawakamiji complained.
[That’s not what I meant, after all——]
[Wait a minute, we’ll talk to you later, the mission objective has appeared. 】
The gray-haired young man suddenly became energetic.
The car in Gin's information flashed between the gaps in the high-rise buildings. Kawakami was calculating the speed casually, slightly shifting the muzzle of the gun, and then pulled the trigger——
The car's fuel tank was hit, and the explosion produced a bright fire.
"mission completed."
"Roger." Scotland knocked on the headset twice. This was their set signal to evacuate.
Kawakami put away his sniper rifle and erased the traces on the rooftop. He climbed over the iron fence and fell down the drainage pipe at an extremely fast but controllable speed.
He went through the information about the mission target in his mind. Not surprisingly, it was someone related to the police.
If that car had not chosen to take this route, Scotland would have been the one to do it.
But now Scotland is responsible for contacting Gin. Therefore, in the report, these lives are recorded in Scotland.
Reaching the ground floor, Kawakami stopped the car and then landed lightly on the ground. The camera had been processed and there was no one around.
[However, this time the purpose of the test has been achieved. Before, it was just suspicion. This time, I can be 100% sure that the organization's brainwashing has not been fully effective. It can be seen from the shot that guy fired——
[Tsk, it seems that the anti-C750 potion is very effective... Suddenly I admire myself a little bit. 】
The gray-haired young man ate a lemon candy and talked to himself in his brain, not only to communicate with the Mad Hatter, but also to clarify his thoughts.
[You are indeed great at drug research. ] The Mad Hatter commented pertinently.
[The drug gives the organization greater control over Scotland's status, but the impact is not fundamental. I feel that the idiots in the research team just made simple and crude ideological suggestions, deeper memory distortion, personality tampering, etc...]
【Still not good enough? No, organizations can do this. The fundamental reason is that they don’t need to. 】
[Whether Scotland is completely loyal or not is irrelevant to the organization. That gentleman is more inclined to use a member who is more likely to be an undercover member to test Kashasha...]
…………
The Scottish sniper position was closer to the rendezvous point, so when Kawakami arrived, he was already sitting in the car. He watched the gray-haired young man open the door and get into the back seat——
Usually this guy sits in the passenger seat.
This shows that Kawakami is wary of him, and he doesn't care about letting Scotland know this.
Through the built-in rear mirror, Scotland saw a perfunctory smile at him.
"Go back?" Scotland confirmed.
"You go back first. I still have something to do. Just let me down after you hit the main road. Thank you."
"OK."
Scotland started the car.
He couldn't help but think of the other party's behavior after he vaguely pointed out that Kawakamiji had memory problems.
"You really wanted to kill me with that shot. You are in the sword-walking business, so don't even think about trying to kill me, Scotland."
Through round-framed glasses, the gray-haired young man widened his dull black eyes.
"You have murderous intentions. Although it was suppressed for a moment, you also have murderous intentions."
Even though he couldn't feel the emotion, Scotland's throat still felt tight.
"Why? Why do you want to kill me? Less than 12 hours ago, you kidnapped me and took me to the hospital at the risk of being beaten... It is most likely due to the influence of drugs."
Effects of Drugs… Scotch is loyal to the organization.
"I hope you'll shake your brains before you start next time. No matter what state you're in, don't forget one thing. You and I are different."
Kawakamiji sneered,
"Unlike Scotch, Kashasha is absolutely loyal to the organization."
