Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

In a secluded cafe in Minato-ku, Tokyo, the real Hikaru Nagai and Subaru Okiya sat face to face, their expressions alert yet a little puzzled.

"Why do we meet here? Do you have any friends in Minato?" Nagai Hikaru stirred his latte with a coffee spoon and looked at Okiya Subaru who was standing opposite him.

"No, it's just that this area has a lot of wealthy people, so service-type stores won't install cameras casually. For example, there are no cameras entering or exiting this store, or inside, so it's safer to talk." Okiya Subaru explained patiently.

"…Just give me a photo. There's no need to be so vigilant, right?"

"In fact, I have something else I want to show you." Okiya Subaru took out a mobile phone and handed it to Nagai Hikaru. There was also a pair of Bluetooth headphones on it. "There is a video in it. The sound is not played out loud. You can listen to it."

The confusion on Nagai Hikaru's face became more obvious.

But he still picked up the phone and put on headphones.

When I clicked on the video, I saw a camera that seemed to be secretly installed because the angle was not good and a quarter of the upper screen seemed to be blocked by a table or something.

There seems to be a large cylindrical glass chamber in the picture, very similar to the biological breeding chambers in the movies. A human body is floating in it. It is a male who looks young and completely naked. However, due to the angle, the part above the shoulders cannot be seen, but the lower part is clearly exposed.

Nagai Mitsuru was puzzled: "A science fiction movie? Isn't it censored?" It's completely naked, everything is exposed.

At this time, someone came over pushing a wheelchair, with its back facing the screen. Someone in a white coat who seemed to be a researcher came over and stood beside him and said, "Sir, it still doesn't work. The data cannot be fully instilled into the brain. It only has three days to live after leaving the bio-chamber. There is no pain reaction, and the signs of nerve reflex are very slight. Although it can open its eyes, it can only say one or two fixed words... There is no other reaction to external stimuli."

"Failed?" The man sitting in the wheelchair sighed, "Let's discard this body and cultivate a new one."

"Yes...but..."

"what happened?"

"Should we try another plan or make some fine-tuning attempts on this one?" The researcher's face could not be seen. From this angle, only the part below the chest could be seen. He made a gesture, and it seemed that someone saw his order. The green liquid in the biological chamber began to be pumped out.

The person in the wheelchair took the information handed over by the researcher and read it for a long time, until the liquid in the biological chamber was emptied and the human body inside fell from the suspended state, with long blond hair covering the face and part of the body.

The glass was lowered, and someone brought a white towel to wrap the body, and then carried it to the person in the wheelchair.

The person in the wheelchair handed the information back to the research institute and said, "Let's try another plan. This plan has been fine-tuned and failed so many times. It seems that this direction is wrong."

After saying that, he opened his arms and the body was put into the arms of the person in the wheelchair.

Nagai Hikaru had a bad feeling.

The person in the wheelchair gently brushed away the golden hair that was covering the face of the person.

Although his eyes were still closed, he could clearly see that it was Nagai Hikaru's face.

"Oh, my poor child." The person in the wheelchair sighed.

The blond body in the video slowly opened its eyes in his arms. Its blue eyes, identical to those of Nagai Hikaru, were out of focus, but it opened its mouth and said slowly, "Dad..."

"Oh my little Maria." The man in the wheelchair took the body into his arms. "Poor thing, only three days?"

The researcher next to him answered, "Yes, in three days, all his organs will fail. He will not be able to eat or drink on his own. Even if he is given an IV, his vital signs will not be maintained."

The man in the wheelchair stroked the still-wet blond hair of the body in his arms and said, "It's so sad. Just go and play with daddy for the next three days."

"Dad..." The boy's voice was hoarse, but the tone did not change, as if he could only utter this syllable.

"My little darling, let's go put on the witch costumes and let daddy take a good look at your beauty."

The wheelchair was pushed away, the screen became empty, and finally the researchers inside also left. All that was left on the screen was the empty biological chamber with the glass raised again.

The screen stops.

Subaru Okiya carefully observed Nagai Hikaru's micro-expressions, from confusion, to shock, to anger, and then to some anger and some fear.

Nagai Mitsuru kept staring at the phone screen until the screen went dark after the video was finished playing.

"Nagai-san?" Subaru Okiya called out.

Nagai Hikaru did not respond.

"Nagai-san? Hikaru?"

Nagai Mitsuru's hand trembled, and his elbow knocked over the coffee cup, spilling the coffee onto the table. Nagai Mitsuru seemed to react then and hurriedly picked up his phone from the table to avoid getting it stained by the coffee.

Without looking at Okiya Subaru, Nagai Hikaru stood up and stared blankly at the coffee dripping along the edge of the table to the ground.

The waiter in the distance saw someone standing up, looked over here, noticed that the coffee was spilled on the table, and hurried over, held the cup, wiped the table, and knelt on the ground to wipe the floor. Then he stood up and bowed and asked, "Excuse me, would you like another cup of coffee?"

"Another cup of the same, please." Okiya Subaru answered helpfully.

The waiter nodded, collected the empty cups and left.

"Nagai?" Okiya Subaru called out again softly.

Nagai Hikaru raised his head, his face pale: "Where did you get this video?"

"I can't tell you the source, but I can guarantee its authenticity." Okiya Subaru said.

“How many times have you watched it?”

Okiya Subaru was surprised: "What does this question mean?"

“How many times have you watched it?” I asked.

“…I don’t know.”

Nagai Hikaru walked over, and Okiya Subaru thought he was going to return his phone and was about to reach out to take it.

As a result, Nagai Mitsuru quickly picked up the cup of coffee in front of him and poured the whole cup on his face.

Okiya Subaru didn't even have time to react before coffee splashed all over his face.

"You hooligan! You've already touched me, and you still want me to watch the video so many times." Nagai Mitsuru gritted his teeth and turned away angrily.

The waiter who was coming over with coffee from behind looked at Okiya Subaru who was splashed with coffee and only heard the last sentence. For a moment, he looked at Okiya Subaru with a look of meaningful admiration in his eyes.

Walking to the table, the waiter put down the coffee and couldn't help but say, "She is so beautiful. It's really not nice for you to do this. Besides, she doesn't look very old. Tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."

Subaru Okiya picked up the tissue on the table and wiped his face: "I'm sorry for losing my temper."

"Nothing, I understand." The waiter gave Okiya Subaru another look that said, "Dude, I understand you." "Who can resist someone so beautiful?"

After the waiter left, Okiya Subaru sighed helplessly: The entire phone was taken away. Sure enough, we can't take this kid lightly. Fortunately, it was a new phone and nothing was left inside.

Well, I won't come to this cafe anymore.

Nagai Mitsuru walked out of the cafe with a gloomy face, and got directly into the black Bentley that had been waiting for him in the parking lot.

He slammed the car door shut, Nagai Hikaru looking grim.

"Didn't you get the photos, Miss?" Shuichi Hamura couldn't help but ask.

"...Damn, I forgot about the photos." But it's too embarrassing to go back and get them now. Forget it, I'll have to do it next time.

Hamura Shuichi was a little surprised, but did not ask any more questions: "Are you going back, Miss?"

"Let's go back." Nagai Hikaru straightened his hair, took out Okiya Subaru's phone and opened the video to watch it for a while.

The car started and quickly glided into the main road.

Nagai Hikaru couldn't help but call Karasuma Renya, and when the other party picked up the phone, he couldn't help but curse: "You guys are idle all day long, right?!"

Karasuma Renya was confused: "Ah, aren't you doing the important things?"

"What did you do with the finished product from Lab 3!?"

"Number three? Oh, my little Maria." Karasuma Renya said confidently, "How adorable! He only has three days to live, shouldn't he be pretty every day?"

It makes sense. Nagai Hikaru is almost convinced. Isn’t it good to look beautiful every day?

"No! What does Miko costume mean?"

"Ah, the shrine maiden costume is also very beautiful. I'm not asking you to wear it. By the way, the house in Beika Town that you wanted last time has been taken down. The heir of the Bantou family agreed to sell the ancestral house. But the house is very old. Are you sure you want to live in it?"

"No, it's a gift for someone else." Nagai Mitsuru's tone calmed down. After being angry, he now felt that his father's behavior was stupid and a little vulgar, so now he wanted to despise this father.

"But where did you get the information?" Urarashina Renye asked curiously.

"Pack up the things in Laboratory No. 3. Let's blow it up if necessary."

"Oh well."

After hanging up the phone, Nagai Mitsuru angrily stuffed the phone back into his bag, took out the phone he took from Okiya Subaru, and looked at the things stored inside.

It was a new phone and it seemed like there was nothing stored in it, or it had just been formatted.

This phone is also a lemon. Nagai Mitsuru turned off the phone, then turned it back on. When it was on the boot screen, he pressed three side buttons at the same time, and the display turned blue.

Nagai drew a pattern on the blue screen with his index finger, and the phone entered management mode, with a keyboard appearing. Nagai pressed a series of letters expertly, calling up the phone's route.

"It's really a new phone..." Nagai Hikaru sighed, "But after all, you've been to the Tsutsu River. How interesting. It seems that Keel is beginning to regain consciousness."

"Miss, why don't you silence Kiel?"

"It's impossible to kill her." Nagai Mitsuru said helplessly, "It's not just anesthetics that were injected into her body, but she can't die."

"This is really amazing." Hamura Shuichi was a little curious, "Is there any investigation into the reason?"

"There's nothing special about the blood and genetic cells." Nagai Mitsuru turned off his phone, then turned it back on and deleted the video.

"Miss, will you come here tomorrow?"

"Let's go to Kudo's house tomorrow."
