Chapter Twenty-Three: The Invitation of the Roots

Tetsuya's mood is a little delicate and complicated, and she is glad that Riko doesn't have to die, and Lone doesn't have to go through pain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 However, what worries him is that he has lost control of the plot, and the world has completely deviated from the development of the plot of Nexus, which is undoubtedly much more difficult for Tetsuya.

Thinking silently in his heart, Tetsuya saw a man pretending to read the newspaper, but his eyes turned in his direction from time to time.

Along the way, Tetsuya had already noticed this man, such a clumsy tracking skill...

And he has already communicated with Ji Yazhun and confirmed the identity of this man, who is a colleague of the newspaper where Ji Yazhun once worked, a guy who is biased towards conspiracy theories.

Patting Gumen's shoulder slightly, Tetsuya said, "I have some things to deal with here, when they come out, can you wait for me in this café?" Half an hour at most will do. ”

"Huh? There is no problem..."Although he was surprised, Gumen also knew that Tetsuya's identity was mysterious, and he didn't want to explore too much, so he nodded in response.

Tetsuya smiled and waved his hand, and then turned around and walked towards the man, a smile on his face. The man was wearing an old suit with a messy shirt in it, and his figure looked slightly fat, and when he saw Tetsuya coming, he pushed his glasses in a bit of a panic and was about to leave quickly.

However, Tetsuya quickened his pace and shouted, "Mr. Nerai, where are you going?" ”

Genlai stopped helplessly, they had already been recognized, and there was no point in running again. He turned his head to look, a smile suddenly appeared on the old man's face, and he pretended to be surprised: "Oh... It turned out to be accurate... What a coincidence, I actually met it here. ”

"Mr. Nerai..."Tetsuya smiled and put his arm on his shoulder, strangled his neck in his direction, and said coldly, "Why are you following me?" ”

"This... Where is the matter..."Nelai panicked and wanted to break free from Tetsuya's arm, but he was an old and rich middle-aged man, where did he have such strength, and he helplessly wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said, "You must have misunderstood..."

"How can there be so many coincidences in this world..."Tetsuya pulled the corners of his mouth and said indifferently: "Are you sure you don't want to talk about your purpose?" ”

Genlai only felt that it was difficult to breathe, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay... Okay, let it go! ”

Finally got out, Genlai wiped the sweat from his forehead, and gasped for breath, and then said: "Actually, it's really a coincidence, I just noticed you by chance at first." I just want to see what you're investigating after you resigned from the newspaper..."

"But I've discovered something now!" Nerai doesn't take Tetsuya's behavior seriously.,In fact, he used to be Ji Yajun's partner in the newspaper.,The two of them investigated the darkness of society.,It's also a big show.。

It's just that later, Ji Yajun was disgusted with the endless dark side of society and ran to the battlefield to become a war correspondent. Later, after returning to the newspaper, Nelai had always hoped to work with Ji Yajun again, but Ji Yajun felt guilty about Serra's death and chose to quit his job.

While talking excitedly, Genlai casually pulled out a stack of newspapers from his briefcase, put it in front of Tetsuya, pointed to the series of news on it and said, "Don't you think there are many accidents like this recently? ”

Bus crash - 13 people including the driver and passengers were killed, a fire at a beer factory killed an employee, an unexplained explosion occurred over Ohara City, Chiba Prefecture...

Tetsuya flipped it slightly, and it was clear in his heart that Nerai was worthy of being a keen reporter, and even though he had MP memories of the actions of the police, he still found the problem in the words in the newspaper.

However, in fact, Tetsuya does not think that TLT's approach is wrong, and perhaps the people of this world do not understand. However, Tetsuya knew that if the matter of the xenomorph beast was exposed, it would be a disaster for humans.

"Are you coming or am I coming?" Tetsuya's face remained unchanged, and he communicated with Ji Yajun in his heart.

"He used to be my colleague after all... Leave it to me. ”

Ji Yazhun hesitated for a moment, and then immediately took control.

Genrai glanced at the deliberately disdainful expression on Ji Yajun's face, and muttered, "Don't always have such an expression..."

"We used to work together in the newspaper for so long, and we reported so much corruption, oppression... A series of dark things, we are the best partners. Think about those days... Sure, let's get to the bottom of this with me! ”

Shaking his head slightly, Ji Yazhun said in a serious tone: "Mr. Genrai, I've already said it... I have quit my job at the newspaper. ”

"Then what are you looking after after you resign?"

Ji Yazhun was silent for a while, and then said, "Meaning..."

"Meaning? What the heck? Genlai looked at Ji Yazhun in amazement, shook his head in confusion, and said further: "Forget it, you should also be aware of it, it is forcing our eyes away from the truth of the facts..."

"Some kind of powerful power...", the brain made up here, and Genlai looked at Ji Yazhun with bright eyes: "To what extent have you found out?" Is it a conspiracy of the government? Or..."

Ji Yazhun hesitated slightly, but Tetsuya warned Ji Yazhun seriously: "Quasi, refuse him... The matter of Xenobiotic beasts cannot be publicized. ”

Tetsuya once explained the causal relationship to Ji Yazhun about this, and Ji Yazhun naturally also had some cognitive judgment, and he knew the seriousness of this matter.

"You're embarrassing me like this!" With a decision in his heart, Ji Yazhun said with a cold face: "In the future... Please don't pester me again..."

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the stunned root, and turned to leave.

At this time, a pink ball hit Ji Yajun's leg, and he bent down slightly to pick up the ball. And at this time, a cute little girl ran over and stopped in front of Ji Yazhun, a little frightened, but in a childish childish voice:

"Brother..."

The girl's innocent eyes made Ji Yazhun stunned, and he couldn't help but show a warm smile on his face.

"Give..."

The little girl took the ball with both hands, nodded happily, and said happily:

"Thank you..."

Ji Yazhun stood in place and watched the girl happily run back with the ball, and not far away, another girl hurriedly beckoned and shouted:

"Hurry up and give it to me..."

The innocent game between the two children reminds Himiya of Serra, the girl who used to be with him, the girl who called him "brother", the girl who died in front of him...

Tetsuya felt Ji Yazhun's depression, sighed slightly, and said comfortingly: "Quasi... Haven't come out yet? Stop being tormented by painful memories..."

"Perhaps... I'm going to be in this pain forever..."Ji Yazhun shook his head and replied bitterly:

"That's a sin I created with my own hands, and this sin will take my whole life to bear..."

"Quasi... The point of light is not to make you bear sin! ”

"The meaning of light... Who can tell? You were able to receive the recognition of the Light because of the bonds you had five years ago. ”

"And I... I don't see any other reason than to pay for that sin. ”
