In Chapter 7, Gin seems to have awakened some kind of attribute.
Bai Yexiu was completely baffled—ever since the sushi restaurant incident, his precognitive abilities seemed to have vanished. He had traveled to many places but found no way to trigger this special ability.
The triggering conditions for this function are probably quite strict.
Bai Yexiu thought so. He'd had a hunch for the past few days: perhaps the trigger was the fake child, or that group of children. Think about it—when the function was triggered both times, that group of children was there.
Got it, I'll try contacting them next time.
Just then, Gin suddenly called, and Bai Yexiu had no choice but to answer the phone reluctantly.
He sensed it was another mission. He had been quite idle these past few days, to the point that he was almost addicted to it. Naturally, Bai Yexiu was a little reluctant to suddenly have a mission coming up.
"I'll wait for you downstairs. The boss said he wants to see your training results."
Gin, sparing with words, hung up the phone after saying that, seemingly unwilling to say another word.
Has no one told you that the way you talk on the phone sounds a bit like a harasser? You hang up right after you finish speaking.
Bai Yexiu made a comment, then put on a trench coat and went downstairs.
Gin clearly didn't want the car to stay parked downstairs at the apartment building for too long, so as soon as Byakuya got in, the car started immediately.
The apartment is not far from the nearest underground base; it only takes three minutes to drive there.
The base is located beneath a pharmaceutical factory, which is naturally also a property under the organization. The factory has an elevator that leads to the basement level, which is one of the organization's training bases, but you need to swipe a card to access it.
Throughout the trip, only Bai Yexiu kept looking around, because he had never seen an underground base in Tokyo before, and the base here looked quite different from the bases in the United States.
First of all, this place is much bigger than the one in the United States, and it even has an elevator. In the United States, there are only stairs, and every time you leave the base, you have to climb a long flight of stairs, which torments Bai Yexiu to no end.
Fortunately, the interior of the base was similar, so Bai Yexiu did not experience any discomfort.
Bai Yexiu habitually sat on the railing of the high platform—he didn't know where the guns were kept; Gin had just gone to get them for him, leaving only Vodka behind, and Vodka seemed a little afraid that Bai Yexiu would fall.
"This isn't a place to sit," Vodka thought, hoping the mischievous child in front of him would come down from the railing.
Bai Yexiu noticed the slightly distorted expression on Vodka's face, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his lips, and leaned back slightly.
Because even if he accidentally falls, he can climb back up before hitting the ground. He is confident of that.
And sometimes, giving a vodka a scare can be a great way to pass the time.
Vodka was quite frightened, wondering if his older brother and boss would hold him responsible if Cointreau fell in front of him, since it was quite a height above the ground, enough to kill someone.
Just as the two were secretly vying for dominance, Gin arrived with a sniper rifle. He looked at them suspiciously and handed the rifle to Bai Yexiu.
"Let's begin."
Bai Yexiu had just put the gun on the rack when he suddenly turned back to Gin as if he remembered something and said, "Hey, Gin-chan, how come I never realized you were so thoughtful before?"
He actually went to get the gun for him himself and handed it to him instead of throwing it at him. Before, when Gin went to England on a business trip and took the opportunity to supervise his training, he simply threw the gun that Vodka had handed him into his hand, which almost hit Bai Yexiu on the head.
"Begin." Gin pinched Bai Yexiu's cheek without any mercy and turned his head back.
Bai Yexiu turned his head back, his face full of sincerity: "It's true."
Looking at the sincere face before him, Gin frowned, grabbed the top of his head, and turned him around: "I said start."
Seeing that Gin didn't seem to intend to continue the topic, Bai Yexiu stopped teasing Gin and began the test.
Gin recalled Bai Yexiu's sincere expression just now and couldn't help but sneer: the word "sincerity" simply cannot be found in Bai Yexiu, and even his true personality remains a mystery.
Gin, who had been in contact with Byakuya for a very long time, naturally knew Byakuya's true nature: a person who treated everyone as toys.
Gin gritted his teeth whenever he thought of the time he was tricked by Byakuya in England. Not only him, but other members of the organization were also tricked by Jundo. During that time, he even felt that the air was filled with Jundo.
It's humiliating to be outsmarted by a teenager.
As Bai Yexiu was aiming, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if a pot was flying towards him.
The oppressive atmosphere surrounding Gin seemed to intensify. He expressionlessly helped Bai Yexiu organize the sniper data, his gaze lingering on one particular statistic for a moment.
1200 yards, forehead.
Is this another new record?
Gin glanced thoughtfully at Byakuya, who had pulled out a lollipop from somewhere.
Jundu's sniping skills have improved so rapidly that even Gin is amazed. This level of skill puts him among the top in the organization.
After organizing the data, Gin packaged it up and sent it to the boss, saying, "Alright, go back now."
"Qin-chan, why are you being so thoughtful today?"
Gin looked up and saw Byakuya looking at him with a probing gaze, his tone as unhurried as ever.
"As far as I know, the Gin of the past would never have personally searched for the gun, handed it to me, and even organized the data like he does today. I'm so touched!"
Bai Yeshu pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes a few times.
Gin clearly didn't want to talk to him and turned to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he suddenly blurted out something out of character: "I'll take you back."
As soon as the words left his mouth, even Gin himself was stunned. How could he say something like that?
Recalling the points that Bai Yexiu had just summarized for him, Gin didn't know why, but he really wondered if he had awakened some kind of attribute.
Bai Yexiu was both surprised and delighted, his eyes revealing a subtle emotion.
Gin is acting a bit strange today. It's always Bai Yexiu who initiates the rides, or even offers to hitch a ride; Gin never willingly allows him to.
It seems that Gin has encountered something happy, or perhaps he has awakened some kind of "male mother" attribute.
Bai Yexiu smiled, intending to tease Gin, when suddenly a head popped out from the doorway.
"Is Jundu here?" An American man, speaking broken Japanese, saw Jundu who was about to leave and happily went to greet him: "I just happened to have something to talk to you about."
"What is it? Explain yourself, Scarman." Gin frowned, seemingly unwelcoming.
Skaman is the coach of the organization's underground training base. He had previously been transferred to the United States for a period of time, which is how he met Cointreau. Although Skaman doesn't have a codename, his status is said to be comparable to Rum's.
"Of course there is something. That gentleman has something to give to Jundu."
As he spoke, Scarman handed a small plastic box to Bai Yexiu.
Inside the small box was a tiny silver snake, about the thickness of a little finger. Perhaps due to the long shipping time, it lay listlessly and motionless inside.
Skaman also saw the listless little snake inside and scratched his head sheepishly: "Sorry, maybe I took a little too long to transport it. It wasn't like this when I first got it."
"It's alright." Bai Yexiu looked at the little snake inside, wondering why the boss would give him this.
"Jun Du has grown up so much." Scarman affectionately patted Bai Yexiu's head, then turned to say goodbye, "I'm leaving now. Remember to come visit Uncle Scarman often!"
Wait, why does this sound like something a wicked old man trying to kidnap a child would say?
……
"Don't learn bad habits from that guy, Skaarman."
Gin spoke softly.
Bai Yexiu understood why Gin said that, because Skaman was a riddle-maker like Vermouth, although he rarely showed it in front of Bai Yexiu. Gin disliked riddle-makers the most, and he was afraid that Bai Yexiu would be corrupted by them and become a riddle-maker himself.
"Gin-chan is so thoughtful today~" Bai Ye Xiu pretended to be touched and was about to stroke Gin's hair when Gin turned his head slightly and glared at him: "Be normal."
"Does Gin-chan not like me anymore? I'm so obedient..." Bai Yexiu ignored her and continued to annoy Gin with a resentful voice.
"Shut up, we're here, get off."
So Bai Yexiu was kicked off the car by Gin.
"whispering sound……"
Bai Yexiu went upstairs without a care in the world, and at the same time received an email from the boss.
The boss explained to him that the little snake was a genetically mutated species that the experimental group had accidentally created. It was said to be a very friendly and aggressive venomous snake, but it could be trained to become a pet.
Bai Yexiu opened the plastic box, and the little snake seemed to sense his presence, curiously poking its head out. When it touched Bai Yexiu's hand, it eagerly climbed onto it.
The little snake didn't bite him; instead, it affectionately wrapped itself around Bai Yexiu's wrist and stayed still.
Grass, so cute.
Bai Yexiu has always liked snakes, especially small ones like these.
[Thank you, Father! — Cointreau]
Bai Yexiu thanked him very politely and prepared to go home and properly entertain the little snake.
