Fang Gulii opened his eyes and saw cherry blossoms flying all over the sky.
Among the scattered pink petals, the school sign of the Metropolitan Police School shines brightly in the sun, and is clean without any trace of blood.
Many young men and women in police uniforms walked out of the school. They were sunny and confident, with longing for justice and faith written on their faces. They passed by him, and no one looked back at him.
Fangtani Rei walked through the school gate and headed to the auditorium used by graduates.
The road from the door to the synagogue was long, and he met no one along the way. He entered the synagogue, and before he could open the door, he heard a deafening sound coming from inside.
"I solemnly swear."
"Support the Japanese Constitution and laws, obey orders, and give priority to performing police duties."
"Do not join groups and organizations that must abide by their rules, are not subject to any restrictions, are not afraid of any events, and are not hated by anyone."
"Perform your duties as a police officer with your own conscience - impartiality, fairness and impartiality!"
The sonorous and powerful oaths soared into the sky, beneath which was the passion of countless young people.
Jiang Guling's eyes gradually softened.
When he just graduated, he was also one of them. He also raised his palms and swore such an oath to the cherry blossoms.
He didn't open the door and went in, turned around and left the auditorium. Facing the bright sunshine, he walked towards the largest cherry blossom tree on campus.
There was a familiar figure standing under the tree.
...hiro?
Jianggu Ling was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth and what he shouted was——
"Scotland."
...Yes, it’s Scotland, Scotch whiskey.
He couldn't call out the boy's real name, he had to hide it in his heart, for the safety of both of them, and he himself was now a bourbon.
——Before that crow-like organization disappeared, Jiang Guling and Zhu Fu Jingguang did not exist.
The man wearing a light blue hooded coat seemed to be frozen. He stood blankly under the cherry blossom tree without giving him any response.
Fang Gu Ling walked up to him and brushed off the petals on his shoulders: "Scotland, why are you..."
The man standing in front of him finally turned around.
Jiang Guling's eyes widened suddenly.
Those beautiful blue eyes were dim and dull, and two lines of blood slid down his face from the corners of his eyes, like two sad tears of blood.
Countless cherry blossom petals fell to the ground, splattered with blood.
The cherry blossom tree next to him withered at some point.
"!!!"
Jianggu Ling woke up with a start.
He stood up suddenly, as if his neck had been stuck for a long time and was finally released. He sat on the bed and gasped for air, his heart beating hard.
"Buzzing..."
The alarm clock on the phone rang. Jiang Guling picked it up and saw that it was exactly 7 o'clock in the morning.
To add, it’s 7 a.m. Boston time.
Was that just...a nightmare?
Rei Fukitani turned to look out the window. It was a typical American-style up-and-down sliding window, which is more popular in North America but not very common in Japan.
He is not in Japan, and I am not with him when I was young - it is even more impossible for the two of them to return to the police academy.
Jianggu Ling wiped his forehead, his hands were wet with sweat, and it was all covered in his cold sweat.
He began to feel lucky that Angostela had booked a presidential suite in a high-end hotel. The suite had two bedrooms, one large and one small, so since neither of them were together, he would not notice anything strange about himself...
…
"Thank you, here's your tip."
The delivery boy came in with a cart and placed two American breakfasts on the table. Angstra gave him a small tip and politely thanked him.
"Thank you, sir. I wish you a pleasant journey."
Rei Fangtani watched the delivery boy dressed in black leave, picked up his fork and started eating.
After having that nightmare, he couldn't go back to sleep, but he didn't call Morofushi Kagemitsu in Japan to confirm his condition. They were not children or superstitious, and they wouldn't have to rush to sleep after having a nightmare.
Make sure the other party is safe.
...However, Hiro's eyes do need to be paid attention to. He was originally trained as a sniper. Even if Angstra wants him to become a safe logistics and stop holding a gun, this important skill cannot be lost.
Drug research is not that simple. It is not scientific at all to expect public security experts to fast forward the process for a few days and come up with the finished product. The possibility of talking to Angstra is higher... But Hiro himself is unwilling...
Jiang Guling absent-mindedly cut the fried bacon on the plate into pieces.
Angstra, who was sitting opposite him, also picked up the knife and fork. His movements were much more natural than Fangtani Rei's.
"Is there anywhere you want to go today?"
Hearing Angstra's voice, Toru Amuro perked up.
The first test of Syndora's game will be at 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow, so their schedule today is completely planned by themselves.
He didn't know how many days they would stay in the United States this time, let alone... how long he would be able to come out this time.
Therefore, he did not expect to be able to go to various scenic spots with Angostela after getting the code name like he did during his last trip to France, leaving beautiful memories there and leaving photos of the two of them in the album. He only wanted to
I can go to a few more important places where Angstra left more footprints, and go there to see more.
"I want to go to your old university to attend lectures," Rei Fangtani said.
Some universities allowed outsiders to come in and observe open classes. As one of the world's top universities, MIT wanted to see how it was different from Japanese universities.
"What class?" Angstra asked curiously.
Toru Amuro searched the university course schedule last night. There was a course on mental illness this afternoon that talked about dissociation. He wanted to listen to it.
"A law class in the morning." Rei Fangtani answered.
This law class will talk about the largest pharmaceutical scandal that occurred in the United States and the subsequent trial and compensation work. He had heard about it when he was in Japan, but he wanted to hear how the United States viewed this incident.
"Will you go together?" Toru Amuro looked at his junior boss.
But in his extremely expectant, even slightly pleading eyes, Angstra shook her head.
"I won't go, I have to go to the cemetery today."
After swallowing the scrambled eggs in his mouth, Angstra seemed to anticipate what the men in front of him would say. He directly interrupted Amuro Toru who was about to speak: "Bourbon, you don't have to accompany me there - we
Take separate actions today."
"……Why?"
Amuro Toru's voice was so dry that it felt like it was squeezed out of his throat. Something in his heart was rapidly collapsing, and he felt scared.
"What why?"
Angstra did not raise his head. He lowered his head and became so playful that he even used a fork to poke the beans on the plate.
"I'm going to visit my former neighbor and help him clean his tombstone. This has nothing to do with you... Even if the boss and his subordinates have the best relationship, there is no need to stick together all the time."
The next second, Angostela poked crookedly, and the sound of the fork and the plate being scraped was heard, which was particularly harsh in this quiet space.
