Chapter 103 Father Murder
"Kundo, you should pay attention to the weather forecast sometimes. Look, it's already raining and you haven't brought in the laundry yet." Amuro Tooru got a little wet on his way here, and when he arrived at the apartment and saw the clothes still hanging out to dry, he went straight to the balcony.
"Well, I'll be more careful next time," Bai Yexiu replied sleepily, turning over on the sofa.
Amuro Tooru glanced back at Shiroyasu and found that he had fallen asleep on his side. So, with his back to Shiroyasu, he secretly took out a small bottle of mysterious spray from his pocket.
This is the counteractor to that mysterious incense, which can react with the incense's components and then eliminate its hallucinogenic effects.
After seeing the ingredient report last time, Amuro Tooru became even more convinced of his seemingly far-fetched idea that part of Cointreau's thinking was being controlled.
Teenagers in their early teens are often rebellious and unruly, going through a period of psychological and physiological development during puberty. It's understandable that the organization might try to control this boy in this way. Amuro, driven by his concern for the future of the nation's youth, was eager to rescue this misguided boy.
I don't know what the incense is made of, but even when Amuro Tooru used a very fragrant laundry detergent, he couldn't mask the smell.
Amuro Tooru used his body to block the movement and sprayed the clothes he had just taken down with the spray.
The spray is colorless and odorless, and takes some time to take effect, so the chances of it being detected are slim.
Amuro Tooru glanced at the sofa out of the corner of his eye and saw that Shiroya was still asleep. He breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the clothes he had just taken down, and headed towards Shiroya's room.
Simply putting clothes in the closet won't arouse suspicion.
When Amuro Tooru opened Byakuya Shu's wardrobe, a rich, incense-like aroma wafted out.
Before Bai Yexiu woke up, Amuro Tooru sprayed the wardrobe several more times with the spray before leaving.
After Amuro Tooru closed the kitchen door and started cooking, Shiroya Xiu opened his eyes—he realized that Amuro Tooru seemed to have done something.
Bai Yexiu got up and returned to his bedroom. He expertly turned on his computer, typed in some code, and brought up Amuro Tooru's email interface. He then discovered the most valuable email among the deleted messages:
The antidote has been developed and can be sprayed directly (it takes some time to take effect).
This counteractant works by breaking down hallucinogenic components.
Bai Yexiu was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect that the police could develop an antidote to counteract the effects of the incense on him so quickly.
He had been struggling with the decision; handing the incense over to the research team would surely alert the enemy. Fortunately, Amuro Tooru managed to find out the ingredients through police channels, and to his surprise, they even developed an antidote. His previously vague idea gradually surfaced—he wanted not only the truth, but also true freedom, both spiritual and intellectual.
This will be his first act of rebellion.
……
After Amuro Tooru left, Kaito called.
"Bai Ye, thank me! I helped you put on an act all afternoon. And I also discovered something interesting... that Shinichi Kudo..."
"I know, you don't need to tell me." Bai Yexiu changed the TV channel.
"Huh?" Kaito was surprised. "No way, when did you..."
"beep……"
Kaito stared at the phone that had just been hung up, somewhat bewildered.
Amuro Tooru has left, leaving only Byakuya Osamu in the entire apartment.
The sun had already set, and the apartment was dimly lit as the lights were off. A huge television screen was playing a food program, with the male and female hosts chatting and laughing, creating a lively atmosphere. However, Bai Yexiu, sitting in front of the television, had a furrowed brow and his body was almost imperceptibly curled up.
He felt a sharp, needle-like pain throughout his entire torso, as if his internal organs were being tightly wrapped and squeezed by a fishing net covered in barbs and burning flames.
He was all too familiar with this kind of pain.
This is one of the complications of their family's genetic disease—severe pain in all the organs of the body.
This pain had been with him since birth until he met his father, which freed him from this tormenting pain.
Years later, after changing into clothes sprayed with the anti-inflammatory agent, the pain returned. He used to be able to endure it, but after so many years of living without any discomfort, this sudden, intense pain made it impossible for him to move.
His slightly curled-up body gradually shrank into a ball on the sofa. Bai Yexiu buried his face in his arms, his whole body trembling uncontrollably from the pain. His already pale skin made him look extremely fragile, like an injured kitten.
……
Pei Nuo stood with her hands on her hips, looking reproachfully at the boy huddled on the sofa.
“If I hadn’t brought you this today, would you have kept it from me for the rest of your life? I really don’t know what to say to you,” Pei Nuo took a deep breath and pulled out a box of medicine from her pocket: “This is the organization’s special painkiller. Gin and the others are using it. It can temporarily numb your pain nerves for a few hours. Of course, the condition for this box of medicine is that you must tell me everything! If you don’t want to die of pain here.”
Bai Yexiu rolled his eyes and looked at Pei Nuo with difficulty. Although there was hesitation in his eyes, he still nodded.
"..."
The pain in his body had disappeared, but Bai Yexiu knew that this was only a temporary effect of the medicine. Pei Nuo was shocked after hearing Bai Yexiu's account of the "incense incident" and jumped up from the sofa in fright.
"How could this be..." Pei Nuo murmured softly, his face filled with disbelief. This shocked him even more than the Aptx incident a while ago.
Peño had previously studied the genetic disease that his friend Jundu carried for a period of time. Although he was later transferred, he knew that the disease was a complex condition caused by heredity and inbreeding. He was shocked when he learned that the boss had somehow cured one of the complications—organ pain.
Of course, he was also shocked to learn that the boss's motives might not be pure.
The Boss used an unknown drug to induce hallucinations in Bai Yexiu, shielding him from the pain. The drug also buried some crucial memories, and the hallucinations ensured Bai Yexiu's absolute loyalty and dependence on the Boss. Why use such methods if nothing else happened? — This was Pei Nuo's conclusion after hearing Bai Yexiu's account.
"Hey, Jundu, what do you think?" Pei Nuo looked at Bai Yexiu, wanting to hear his thoughts.
"I guess I was tricked. Perhaps Father had foreseen this day. If I want to remember the past, I have to endure this pain all the time. Father planned everything." Bai Yexiu poured himself a glass of water and leaned back on the sofa.
After a three-second silence, Bai Yexiu suddenly spoke in a low voice: "Tell me, what would happen if I killed my father?"
