After Furukawa Kumisa came to this world, he hadn't felt the feeling called "danger" for a long time.

But at this moment, the feeling of danger instantly filled every nerve ending, as if it would sweep through the whole body in the next second.

——In fact, even in the previous world, she rarely experienced "danger" from Fang Gu Rei.

Jianggu Ling took another step closer. There was an invisible sharp color in his usually reserved and gentle eyes. He repeated it.

"substitute?"

Furukawa Kumisa slightly clenched his fists to calm down, "Mr. Fangtani heard it, do you have anything else to ask?"

The soft color faded from Jianggu Ling's eyes, and coldness suddenly swept through his purple pupils, "He is also a policeman? Also called 'Zero'?"

Furukawa Kumisa took a deep breath, "Yes, the policeman died in the line of duty, but he was not called 'Zero'. That was the... pet name I gave him."

She simply laughed: "Mr. Fangtani probably doesn't know how similar she is to him."

Fang Guling had never thought that the smile on this man's face was so dazzling.

She said he didn't know how much he resembled her lost love, but how could he not know?

He has always been an observant person, and from the first meeting, he could sense that she was avoiding him.

It is shown in the subtle words and actions that she "avoids suspicion" as she said.

The first time she really met his eyes was when he appeared in front of her as Toru Amuro. She turned back in front of the apartment door and saw him.

Furukawa Kumisa concealed it very well. All his body language and movements were really in the state of "reunion with a stranger whom we met only once", but only when he saw him for the first time, the trance in his eyes was not properly

hide.

Time after time after that, he could catch a glimpse of that trance in the way she looked at him - as he said, it was not a look that would appear when a girl looked at a relatively unfamiliar man.

Now he knew what that meant.

She was looking at another person through him.

Furukawa Kumisa took a step back and stayed away from him: "It was not my intention to let you hear the conversation between Hagiwara and I. If it offended you, I apologize to you here."

Her smile and words were very measured. That was not the way she looked when facing her "lover's substitute". It was her attitude when she truly regarded him as an unfamiliar friend and treated him like a stranger.

"But as I said, I have been staying away from Mr. Furuya as much as possible. Before this, my feelings have not disturbed anyone, and I have not deliberately approached you, hurt you, or even deceived you because of my selfish motives.

Your feelings. On the contrary, in order to avoid such a thing, I have tried my best to stay away from you - so in this matter, I feel that I have no regrets towards Mr. Furutani."

When Furukawa Kumisa restrained the memory and confusion about her lover, she became calm and rational, almost cruel.

It seems that in her eyes, even feelings are something that can be quantified and calculated, every point is calculated clearly, and she is not willing to owe anyone anything.

She nodded to him restrainedly, "Then, I'll go back first."

"This year, I often have some dreams."

When Rei Fukaya blurted out these words, Furukawa Kumisa could clearly hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

"There was a woman who looked very much like you in the dream, Ms. Furukawa."

At that moment, even someone as rational as Hisa Furukawa could not help but wonder whether there was a possibility of mediation for the "loss of memory" the system said - after all, it has never been very reliable, right?

"...What kind of dream is it?" She heard her own trembling voice.

Fang Gulii closed his eyes: "I dreamed...she was killing people."

As if a basin of cold water was poured down on his head, Furukawa Kumisa suddenly felt that he was frozen in place, and even thought that he was hearing hallucinations: "...What?"

Jiang Guling repeated: "I dreamed that she was killing..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Kumisa Furukawa.

"Reducing Valley Zero"

"." Furukawa Kumisa, who had been avoiding him, suddenly took a step forward and called him by his first and last name. His tone was not aggressive, but with a cold smile, "Is this the impression I left on you?"

--kill?

After they had gone through so much, he had lost all his memories, and in the end, all he had left was a weak impression of her, only blood and killings?

Fangtani Rei seemed to realize that his words were a bit offensive: "This is just a dream, and although it was like this at the beginning, but later..."

"Needless to say." She sneered and interrupted him unreasonably, "At least we are even now, Mr. Fangtani - I only regard you as a substitute for my lover, and I am just a night in your heart.

The person who enters your nightmare because of murder."

"I think our previous decision to keep our distance couldn't have been more correct."

These were the last words Furukawa Kumisa left for Fukutani Rei. After saying that, she no longer cared about any of his reactions and quickly left and returned to the box.

When Jiang Guling came back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts, he opened his mouth to finish what he had not had time to say, but she was no longer behind him.

He did not deny that his dreams were once filled with the figure with blood-stained hands, but after that, the murderer became himself.

He dreamed that he was squatting in front of a strange corpse, skillfully doing the aftermath work, and there was the sound of elegant heels tapping the ground behind him. He turned around and saw the slightly bent purple figure.

He still couldn't see her face clearly, but he could really see the smile on her lips.

She stretched out her hand to herself, and her slender figure stood in the confused night. Everything was so charming, like a banshee leading him into the night.

"Dear, Mr. Accomplice."

Fangtani Rei thought that if this was a story that once existed, he must have loved that person very much.

From witnessing her hands stained with blood to willingly accompanying her into the abyss.

He watched helplessly as he became her accomplice step by step.

*

Since that unhappy dinner, Furukawa Kumisa never contacted Hagiwara Kenji and Furitanani Rei again.

Away from the protagonist group in Ke Xue's world, her life returned to peace again.

Of course, she did not forget to send messages and check-ins to Zhu Fu Jingguang every two or three days, and she still kept in touch with Natalie - after all, falling out with the smelly man did not prevent her from continuing to have a relationship with the sweet-smelling young lady.

Post it.

It was so wonderful to stay away from conflicts and concentrate on studying. After winning another research project, her supervisor knocked on the door of her independent office with a smile.

"Furukawa," the professor who is over fifty years old smiled very kindly, "Did you read the recruitment email that was sent to your mailbox a few days ago?"

Furukawa Kumisa shook his head honestly: "No."

Ever since she achieved some academic success, she received dozens of similar job advertisements in her mailbox every day, from various large and small pharmaceutical companies and research institutes around the world. She was really tired of dealing with them, so she developed a direct habit.

The habit of skipping recruitment emails.

"I knew it, that's why I came here for a special trip."

The tutor sat down opposite her, and she served the coffee according to the tutor's taste very politely.

The old man picked up the cup and took a sip. He narrowed his eyes in contentment and said, "You are still good at making coffee."

She smiled implicitly and said, "You came here today to talk to me about recruitment?"

"Yes, this time an emerging drug research and development institution under the National Research Institute found me specifically. I have seen their projects, which are similar to the topics you are currently researching. They are recruiting experts in this field, and they are very interested.

I have been interested in you for a long time. After seeing the paper you published last week, their dean was embarrassed and asked me to help you."

Furukawa Kumisa's mentor never interfered too much in her work and life in aspects other than academics, which she was very satisfied with. This was the first time in the past two years that she saw her mentor specifically come to help her.

At first, she just asked a few more polite questions, thinking of rejecting the proposal without refuting the instructor's face, but unexpectedly, after a few more words of conversation, she really became interested.

The instructor looked at her

He looked like this and smiled: "I also know that you are interested in research in this area, so I came to you specifically. Otherwise, no matter how they beg me, I would not be willing to let you go."

Furukawa Kumisa smiled: "Even if I really go to the institute, I will still be your student."

At the same time, Fries woke up from his nap, fluttered his wings and flew out of the birdcage at the other end of the office, and flew onto Furukawa Kumisa's shoulder.

"Fries are awake."

As Furukawa Kumisa's mentor, he is naturally very familiar with this seagull. After all, for the past two years, he has watched a person and a bird eat and live together, fries and sleep well. There is no one in the entire academy who doesn't like it.

The old man took out a small bag from his pocket and put some biscuits in it.

As soon as Fries saw him digging into his pocket, he perked up, raised his head and jumped onto his lap, looking at his pocket eagerly.

The old man laughed "haha".

Furukawa Kumisa sighed: "The French fries have gained a lot of weight recently, please feed them less...and those juniors and juniors."

The instructor stroked Fries' feathers: "Not fat, not fat. Seagulls are all round. Fries were too thin before."

After hearing this, Fries raised his head and shouted twice in agreement: "Quack!"

With the interruption of French fries, the conversation about recruitment went on quite quickly, and Furukawa Kumisa saw his mentor off.

"I understand. I will check my mailbox when I get back soon and reply to the professor as soon as possible."

The instructor smiled and patted her shoulder and walked away slowly.

When Furukawa Kumisa returned to the office, Fries was still eating the bag of biscuits.

"Host, didn't you say you don't want to go out to work?"
