Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

Amid the discussions and deliberations among various groups of people, time quietly passed at a speed that was difficult for people to keep track of, and soon it was afternoon.

The sun, which was catching up on its sleep in the clouds, opened its eyes contentedly, stretched its body and sat up.

Inadvertently, part of the body appeared outside the cloud.

In the golden sunlight,

A passenger plane that looked like any other aircraft except for its painted exterior flew smoothly through the clouds.

More than 20 minutes later, the plane landed safely at Tokyo Haneda Airport.

But then, accompanied by a gunshot, the tranquility of Haneda Airport was shattered.

At the same time, it also kicked off the confrontation between the organization and the red team.

While the media reporters waiting at the exit of Haneda Airport were still racing against time to report back to their own companies the news that a shooting had occurred at Haneda Airport and the victim was a member of the Mingjing Exchange Group.

Get the latest breaking news that will definitely make the front page headlines.

The police who had been waiting nearby received the order first and suppressed all the small actions of these people.

There were some smart ones who passed the message back.

However, before the news media could compile the news and release it, the police called first.

In the Metropolitan Police Department's high-level meeting room,

Except for Yuuki Edogawa who was on vacation, all the top executives from various departments gathered together.

Some people thought that Director Bai Ma was making a big fuss just because he received a crime warning letter from the police, and the senior executives who had mobilized a large force no longer had any objection this time.

Everyone was completely tense because of the news that Ming Jing was attacked upon his arrival, even though they had not taken it too seriously before.

Mingjing is an international private team that travels to various countries under the banner of academic exchange.

It took less than six years for the company to go from being unknown in the beginning to being able to move countless people's hearts at the slightest sign of trouble.

Over the years, the core team lineup, which is so mysterious that no information has been circulated to the outside world, has been explored by countless people.

However, at this moment, this mystery is causing headaches for the top brass of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Mingjing’s background seems to have nothing to do with official organizations of various countries.

But just based on Mingjing's current fame, he can travel safely to various countries, and even in Italy where many old arms dealers gather, he was safe and sound as if he was just traveling.

It doesn't look like a grassroots private team with no background at all.

It was precisely because of this consideration that when Director Bai Ma announced the convening of a special meeting, many senior executives were dissatisfied but did not express it openly.

But now, these words "the details are unclear" are like a thorn, firmly stuck in the hearts of the senior executives.

The top executives knew that Mingjing’s fame meant that once this matter became known, it would inevitably attract countless attention internationally.

As the first country to suffer casualties from Mingjing, they have to face not only unfavorable international public opinion, but also the pursuit of the official forces behind Mingjing.

I hope that the member who was killed in Mingjing was not a core team member, and that such things will not happen again in the future.

While the senior executives were paying close attention to the progress of the case, they were also making various preparations for the worst-case scenario.

However, things sometimes tend to develop in the direction that people least expect.

Toru Amuro, who received the first-hand news, looked at the content on the mobile phone screen. Beneath his calm face, his heart was sinking deeply.

This time, the disadvantages brought by the memories of the previous life were exposed to Toru Amuro without any cover.

Even though he knew clearly that this life was very different from his previous life, these memories still unconsciously interfered with his judgment.

For example, because I know that in my previous life, the first attack Mingjing encountered after arriving in Tokyo was after leaving the airport.

The murderer, who was disguised as a media interviewer, secretly poisoned the person.

As soon as he got into the welcoming car, he suddenly died of poisoning.

So even though he knew that the danger might not be just outside the airport, Toru Amuro still focused more on controlling the outside of the airport when formulating the protection plan.

But the accident happened neither outside the airport nor in the heavily guarded airport lobby.

Instead, it is on the narrow bridge leading to the interior of the airport after the aircraft cabin door is opened.

The person who took action was none other than a crew member who accompanied the passengers all the way, personally opened the cabin door for the passengers, and cordially gave blessings to the passengers when they stood up to get off the plane.

Compared to the previous life where the victim was poisoned and no one noticed, and suddenly died in a closed car, this action was undoubtedly decisive and blatant.

But the most important thing is that the person who died this time was not just a member of Mingjing, but also one of the people who should have survived in the memory of the previous life.

With the advantage brought by his past life memories, Toru Amuro had actually already identified the members of the Mingjing group and some of its core members from the passenger information of that flight.

Telling Xiang that he didn't know would just be lying to him.

In the dark room with no windows on all sides, Toru Amuro quietly read the latest investigation progress sent by Yuya Kazami.

Then he switched the computer interface to his mailbox.

The sound of keyboard typing was heard, but soon stopped.

...

"Ding ~"

The crisp sound of email notifications rang out in the sea breeze.

The extremely low volume was easily drowned out by the howling sea breeze at dusk.

But Karasuma Soshin heard it the first time.

After opening the email, the content inside softened the young man standing under the tree instantly, without any trace of his usual indifference.

In the first photo with the entire white snow as the background, Yuki Edogawa is standing on a ski board in a red ski suit, looking healthy and energetic.

In the second photo, Yuuki Edogawa is in a Kyudo hall, wearing a black and white Kyudo uniform, holding a bow.

Elias, who saw this scene from afar, stopped in his tracks, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, but in the next second, he met a cold gaze.

"what's up?"

A voice as cold and indifferent as his gaze drifted into Elias' ears along the sea breeze.

Looking at the young man in the distance who suddenly concealed the gentleness between his eyebrows and eyes and showed indifference, Elias walked forward and said respectfully:

"His Excellency the Duke has arrived safely five minutes ago and would like to invite you to meet him."

"not see."

Karasuma Soshin replied straightforwardly, but the look he gave Elias's face suddenly showed some confusion and inquiry.

He even took two steps forward, even though he was supposed to turn around and leave.

Elias was puzzled, but then he heard:

"Do you... have a daughter?"

The middle-aged man, who was about the same height as Karasuma Soshin, answered respectfully, but his heart hidden between his flesh and blood suddenly jumped.

At this moment, he was glad that he lowered his head because Karasuma Soshin took two steps forward.

The heavy glasses and the hair falling on his forehead covered his subconsciously trembling eyelids, and also covered the emotional changes that flashed across his eyes.

"So how old is she? Does she look more like you or your wife?"

Karasuma Soshin asked casually, but Elias, who felt the other person's eyes were always on him, immediately tensed up.

"My daughter is 26 years old this year. She has the same personality and looks as my wife, and also takes after me in terms of study and hobbies."

"Really? That's a bit... a pity."

The light and drawn-out ending tone made Elias' heart tighten.

"You have a good bone structure. If your daughter inherits it, she will definitely be an unforgettable beauty."

"What a coincidence! You look about three or four points like someone I know."

"But she's very thin and has very hard bones."

Karasuma Soshin always kept a distance of only one step between him and Elias, so Elias kept his head slightly lowered.

At this time, from Karasuma Soshin's perspective, he couldn't actually see Elias' expression clearly.

But this did not prevent him from judging Elias's inner emotional changes at the moment.

The gusting sea breeze kindly carried Karasuma Soshin's lowered words into Elias' ears and into his heart.

Elias's strong self-control allowed him to maintain his facial expression under Karasuma Soshin's gaze for less than a minute.

But underneath that dry coat, fine beads of cold sweat had already soaked through the layer of clothes that was tightly attached to the skin.

Without continuing, Karasuma Soshin, who had suddenly become interested, seemed to lose interest all of a sudden.

He paused and moved forward again, and the gaze that had been watching him turned coldly away.

But just as he passed by Elias, a voice floated gently into Elias' ears in the evening breeze at dusk.

"By the way, I remember from the information that your daughter's name is Beluga. This name is actually related to the person I know..."

Karasuma Soshin walked further and further away, and Elias did not stay any longer, but continued walking until he arrived in front of the Duke and met the Duke's gaze.

He finally felt like he was stepping off a thrilling roller coaster and feeling grounded.

"That gentleman said he would not see me."

Ignoring the conversation that frightened him, Elias relayed Karasuma Soshin's initial brief response to the Duke under his gaze.

The Duke was not too surprised by this.

But his expression obviously darkened.

The middle-aged man with a strong bone structure silently memorized this scene in his heart, and then in response to the Duke's questions, he reported the various tasks he was responsible for in an orderly manner.

That night, in the top floor experimental preparation area,

Under the incandescent lights that were on all day, the soft humming sounds of various medical equipment running continuously easily covered up the sound of the mechanical doors opening and closing.

It also covered up most of the footsteps of the people coming in.

Amidst the layers of equipment with flashing signal lights of various colors, a silver-white culture cabin with a cold metallic glow lay quietly on a specially built platform.

The clearly pointed footsteps gently passed by one medical device after another, but finally stopped just a few steps away from the incubator.

"Why are you here alone in the dead of night without even saying hello?"

Under the light that clearly illuminated everything, Karasuma Soshin, who had been waiting for a long time, half leaned against the shell of the incubator and looked at the person who came. His tone was puzzled but his eyes were cold:

"This is not the place where you should be right now... Duke."
