Chapter 4 of 20: The Six-Petal Cherry Blossom of Memory
Tang Zeyu gasped in shock, the smoky gray scarf around his neck, the familiar soft texture made him quickly calm down.
He looked at his right hand and clenched his fist.
I am sure that from the torso to the fingertips, every inch of the muscles of the body can be freely mastered.
Then, he looked up.
The students in the shooting range gathered in a circle and surrounded the person in the middle, and the newcomer Tang Zeyu stood at the outer edge of the crowd, his vision blocked by the crowded back, and he couldn't see what was going on inside.
Before he could tiptoe, the ceiling above his head thundered with a loud bang, and a man who looked like a maintenance worker pulled the rope in his hand and fell through the large hole that suddenly cracked!
The Onitsuka instructor who reacted the fastest immediately flew to pick it up, but the soft rope was bent in the air in an arc, and it skillfully wrapped his neck, and the Onitsuka instructor's body was all the way, and he was immediately hung in the air!
Tang Zeyu's eyes shrank, and he immediately understood what was happening in his memory.
There was an uneasy stir in the crowd, the roof of the shooting range was beyond the reach of the students, and although the people below were in a hurry, they could not think of a way to rescue them for a while.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Tang Zeyu, who had reacted in advance, had already taken three steps and made two steps, stepped up the steps leading to the second floor, he supported the railing with his backhand, and the whole person flew out!
The person who looked up only had time to see a figure that crossed the air, and in the next second, Tang Zeyu's right hand stretched out forward had already grabbed the hanging rope, and with it as a fulcrum, it stopped steadily above the hanging Onitsuka instructor.
His movements made the rope shake violently again, and Yi Dahang and Zhu Fu Jingguang, who were supporting the workers underneath, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on their foreheads.
Onizuka's face was completely red, and at that moment his hand holding the rope almost exerted the strength to feed, so that he didn't let himself be strangled by the rope.
Someone below shouted loudly: "Tang Zeyu, what are you doing?!" β
Tang Zeyu ignored this.
At this moment, he was highly concentrated, bent down with difficulty, and stretched out one hand to Onizuka Hachizo: "Instructor, give me your hand!" β
"You ......" Onizuka immediately understood what he meant, and looked at Tang Zeyu's wrist with a face full of cold sweat, and hesitated for a while.
Tang Zeyu urged sharply: "Hurry up!" β
At this time, only thirty seconds had passed since Onizuka struggled in the air, and because the situation was urgent, he couldn't exert his strength, and his two hands were already close to losing their strength.
Onizuka gritted his teeth, let go of a hand with difficulty, and lifted it up tremblingly.
In the next moment, with a "snap", Tang Zeyu clasped his outstretched hand!
There was a small exclamation from below, Tang Zeyu exerted his strength violently, and the muscles of his whole body were stretched out in a tense and beautiful arc, only to see that the green tendons on his neck exploded, and his expression was a little hideous because of his strength, and his wrist was slowly raised inch by inch, and he actually relied on his arm strength to lift Onizuka Hachizo up.
Suddenly, Tang Zeyu's hand holding the rope suddenly slipped, and everyone suddenly held their breath! Fortunately, the downward trend was stopped by him in time, and the half-empty ghost mound finally slowly rose.
The rope that exuded danger and death was getting farther and farther away, and Onizuka tacitly let go of his other hand, and grabbed Tang Zeyu's forearm at the same time, this action made the pressure shared on Tang Zeyu much less, and Onizuka's face also visibly returned to blood.
There was a cheer from the crowd.
"Don't rush to celebrate!" "Karasawa has tried his best, but he can only stay in the air for the time being, and the instructor is not out of danger yet-"
Saying that, he turned to Matsuda Jinpei, "Hey Mazda, are you done!" β
With a click, Matsuda Jinshiki loaded the last part in his hand.
"This is a new gun," he looked up and handed the loaded revolver to Zero Zero, "I didn't shoot it accurately, I killed you!" β
"If you really don't win...... That's one of me, too! Tang Zeyu, who was in the air, gritted his teeth and interjected.
His voice dragged on for a long time, and his face was often congested and red when others tried hard, but he held on for so long, but his face became more and more pale.
Drop the valley and grab the β‘β‘, click twice to confirm the feel, hold the handle with your left hand, and raise your arm to aim at the long rope.
"Okayβ" he whispered to himself.
In a state of full concentration, the whispers around him whistled away, and Falling Valley Zero's ears fell into absolute silence, and then the world exploded, the bullet spun out of the chamber, and in the rising tail smoke, the middle of the rope sleeve broke in response!
Date Hang and Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had been holding them underneath, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the two worked together to bring the workers and instructors to the ground.
The worker stayed in mid-air for too long, and under the fright, his legs and feet were still a little weak, and he suddenly knelt on the ground.
Karasawa Yu was the last one to jump from above, his position was the highest, nearly two stories from the ground, and when he landed on the ground, his knees were bent as a cushion, without making a sound at all, and he was dexterous like a cat.
Everyone still gathered around the instructor who was out of strength, and Tang Zeyu stopped not far away and turned his head to look at it for a while.
After a few moments, he pulled his scarf up and was about to turn aroundβpop!
A powerful arm suddenly wrapped around his shoulder, and Date Hang pulled the person to the center with a big grin: "You kid! What a human being who is unseemly! β
"Although people are quite short, their brains are very flexible." Matsuda Jinpei, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, held his chin up.
Zhu Fu Jingguang patted him on the back comfortingly: "It's okay, at our age, we can still grow taller by drinking milk." β
β¦β¦
There was a major safety accident at the shooting range, and the afternoon training was suspended for some reason to check the safety hazards for the school.
Tang Zeyu didn't leave at once, and was inexplicably dragged into the team of five, and when he reacted, Zhu Fu Jingguang was already smiling and waiting for his reply.
"Ah......" He just remembered that the topic just now was why several people came to the police academy.
All five of them finished expressing their opinions, and during the process, they were mixed with ridicule of Matsuda Jinpei - "If you want to beat up the police director, you better wait for him to retire!" Date laughed heartily. At this moment, the five young faces all turned to him, and in the face of the five curious eyes, Tang Zeyu didn't know what to say for a while.
- because he doesn't know why he's here.
In the state of amnesia, all the past is blank for Tang Zeyu, and this blank part bears the brunt, naturally including himself.
Character, life, motives, goals, causes and consequences.
At this moment, Tang Zeyu didn't know anything about this.
When everyone was running towards the future, on the axis of time, he was the only one who went back to the past, like an empty, invisible shadow, greedily absorbing the temperature of the moment.
It's just that the illusory dream doesn't last long, and at this moment, the question of why he came to the police academy is like a hammer in the void, suddenly waking him up from this fluttering state.
Tang Zeyu reluctantly smiled, his mind raced, and he had already made up a decent answer that a normal police academy student would give.
But before he could make a sound, the world suddenly spun around!
Tang Zeyu's vision detached from his body backwards, floating upwards like a soul, and suddenly changed from the first perspective to the state of a bystander.
Tang Zeyu, who was in a state of soul, also lost control of his body, so he could only float aside in amazement, watching "Tang Zeyu" ponder for a long time before he slowly spoke.
"-Probably, I want to carry out the justice in my heart!"
"Oh - it's so handsome!" Kenji Hagiwara on the side exclaimed, and Matsuda Jinpei seemed to be picking up something lively, but those words suddenly became distant.
Everything in front of Tang Zeyu's eyes suddenly darkened and blurred, as if he had fallen into the bottomless deep sea, and his soul sank rapidly in the darkness. As soon as the world turned, it was back in the dimly lit archives.
*
The young words were still in his ears, and for a moment Tang Zeyu's ears were in chaos, and countless noises with extremely high frequencies lingered around him; Later, he slowly realized that those sounds were actually coming from his own body.
The archives were eerily quiet, and the laughter, slogans, and whistles outside the door were as distant as those of the last century. Only Tang Zeyu supported the table with his hands, his breath was short, and his heart was beating like a drum.
Suddenly, he put down the paper in his hand and curled up violently!
He buried half of his face in a warm scarf and coughed dimly. Through a thin layer of physiological tears, when he looked up at the file again, Tang Zeyu found that the lead words in front of him were:
"X YEAR, X MONTH, X, graduation."
This means that Zero and Hiro entered the Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Department after graduation, and as for what happened later...... His eyelids closed slightly, and the blood-red handwriting appeared in front of his eyes again:
[Branch 2: Relief of Zhufu Jingguang [Failed]]
"System," he said softly, "Hiro he's still alive, isn't he?" β
His face was frighteningly pale, and in the dim light of the room, it had a jade-like cold and hard texture.
All obvious expressions disappeared from his face, and the muscles at the turn of his jaw clenched, stretching a sharp arc, and the surging emotions pressed deep into the dark eyes, only showing an iceberg of anger and oppression on his face.
[The system permission is insufficient, and this information cannot be queried.] γ
"Explain, what's going on."
[The system permission is insufficient, and this information cannot be queried.] γ
"......" Tang Zeyu closed his eyes.
The vivid and lively memory contrasted sharply with the cold silence at the moment, which made him want to vomit slightly.
He braced his arms on the edge of the table, his head hanging almost to his thighs. After a full five minutes, I felt that the suffocating retching and nausea was gradually subsiding.
In a trance, the electronic sound was ticking in his ears again, and Tang Zeyu calmed down, and only then did he hear its words clearly.
73 hurriedly said: [The memory was suddenly unlocked by the system when the conditions were detected, and I don't know what happened.] Does the host need a health scan? I'll open it for you! γ
Hiroshi Karasawa: [No. γ
73: [Let's open it...... Rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, sudden deafness in both ears, and constriction of pupils are signs of sudden myocardial infarction. γ
Tang Zeyu's tone suddenly rose: "I said no!" β
The electronic sound stopped suddenly, and Tang Zeyu clenched his teeth and quietly maintained this posture.
After the amnesia, he remembered the plot of the original comics, and it made no sense that he didn't remember before the amnesia.
73 has always understood the system's task list as a record of the completed events it has done.
Group photo with a bright smile, a completed relief mission.
β¦β¦
Tang Zeyu closed his eyes, and it was not until the dizziness and palpitations had passed that he turned over and leaned back in the chair.
After a moment, he added softly: "...... I want to take a break. β
The dust in the sky fell silent at this moment.
*
In less than an hour, a few thin pages of files, Tang Zeyu flipped through them and read them for a long time.
The fragile paper had become brittle at the edges and the pages had begun to turn yellow and hard under the oxidation of time, and Karasawa carefully laid them flat on the table.
He sat at the table until he almost chewed up all the handwriting on it, stroke by stroke, and carved it into his mind.
It's just that what has already been seen, no matter how many times it is repeated, will not remind him of more.
After a short backtrack, the system no longer prompts for a new fragment to be unlocked.
It seems that in the future, he will have to consciously find other channels.
Just returned from the fragment of memory, Tang Zeyu first coughed hysterically for a long time, and then the depression of his mood immediately changed to anger concealed by the system.
[But I really don't know that memories can be unlocked......]
If the electronic voice had an expression, 73 would probably be so frustrated that he would be able to cry, and in order to convince Tang Zeyu to believe in his words, it even revealed the most secret system background for the first time.
The electronic tone is true: gray non-operable interfaces, even the dull fonts are covered in dark mosaics.
[What's in this, even I don't have the authority to query,] 73 said, [The unlocking conditions were triggered too suddenly, even if it was delayed for two seconds, I would have time to scan what was inside.] γ
And Tang Zeyu was silent.
He came to realize that 73 was not so much a system as it was part of a "system"; The translucent electronic pages in front of you, shimmering with metallic light, operate under a set of inherently stable logical algorithms.
As for what exactly is hidden behind the gray page, 73, like him, knows nothing about it.
So where did the system come from?
Why does he have amnesia? Why can lost memories be unlocked by the system?
What are the triggering conditions?
And, of all the doubts, the most important one.
- Why is he able to control his body in his memory?
Karasawa understands that memories are like playing back a first-person film, but this is not the case.
He can control his actions, that is to say, in the scene of recollection, even if Tang Zeyu did not jump out and grab Instructor Onizuka at that time, this situation is also likely to happen.
Yu Karasawa remembered the plot in the original police academy side story, and knew that even if he didn't join himself, Matsuda Jinpei would have had time to assemble the revolver β‘β‘ in three minutes, and at that time, there would be more than enough time for Shibuyani to shoot the instructor again.
In other words, in the memory of "Rescuing Onizuka Hachizo", whether or not "Karasawa Yu" exists or not, it does not matter the result.
But what if the actions of "Hiroshi Karazawa" are indispensable?
A string of green letters flashed back to his eyes for a moment.
[Branch 2: Relief Date Air [Completed]]
β¦β¦ The death of Kenji Hagiwara and Air Date.
In the remastered version of the world, none of these things happened, and the only variable came from him, Yu Karasawa himself.
But Tang Zeyu has no memory of the past, and he doesn't know what he did at that time.
Ifβin case there was any possibility, I accidentally triggered something and returned to that crucial memory node.
And then, what will he do?
-CHAPTER FIN.-
