Tokyo: Rabbit Officer and Her Evil Partner

After Fushimi Roku's turmoil, two completely opposite childhood memories appeared in his mind, which led to Miyazaki Shizuka's hypnosis failure. Otherwise, a month ago, he and Minamoto Tamako would have been hit in the consultation room and become the main culprits of the next random injury case, then caught by the Police Department as drug addicts.

The "Sunny Boy" overwritten by memory is considered "the future Fushimi Roku";

The "Gloomy Boy" originally present in the Heart Acupoint is "the past Fushimi Roku".

Of course, at this time they all had a common and unfamiliar name:

——Zhou Hao.

Listening to this, Minamoto Tamako began to feel inexplicably strange. She didn't know which words she'd missed that caused the impression of Fushimi Roku to suddenly turn into the Zhou Hao of a foreign country... Could it be that Fujimura-kun had been lying all along, and he was actually an immigrant who stowed away from Fujian?

Otherwise, how could his childhood memories be those of a Chinese person?

At this moment, she was already approaching Fushimi Roku's core secret. Once he told this to Minamoto Tamako, it would mean completely opening his heart, leaving basically no secrets in front of Minamoto Tamako.

In a conscious state, Fushimi Roku would never be able to tell Minamoto Tamako about this. He would definitely take it to the grave, ensuring no one would know of his origins even after his death, living his life like a ghost from a foreign land, sharing it with his lover under another identity.

It sounds rather tragic, but that's exactly what Fushimi Roku planned.

Unfortunately, the world is unpredictable. The Sunny Boy did not hide it and told Minamoto Tamako everything in detail, including the matter of the time travel.

At the end, he added, "Being deceived doesn't feel good, does it? Hurry up and leave while you can, there's no one you're looking for here, the real Fushimi Roku has already died!"

Minamoto Tamako widened her eyes and stood there dazed for a long time. Her first reaction was not to ask how to leave but to subconsciously ask, "Then what kind of person is the current Fujimura-kun?"

"Hmm?"

The Gloomy Boy and the Sunny Boy were obviously not expecting Minamoto Tamako's reaction. They looked at each other, not knowing how to reply.

"The name 'Fushimi Roku' is just a name, I don't care about the name, I only care about him as a person... What kind of person was he? What has he been through? I really want to know! I really want to meet the real Fujimura-kun! I want to be part of his life, want to understand his past—not Fushimi-kun, it's Hao-kun!"

Saying this, Minamoto Tamako suddenly bowed deeply and said loudly, "Please, help me!"

The Sunny Boy sighed again and averted his gaze, but this time he did not curl his lips and said, "The real me is more embarrassing than you imagine, selfish and pitiful, with many filthy, dark ideas... You wouldn't like someone like me."

"It's okay! I'm prepared for that!"

After Minamoto Tamako finished speaking, she raised her head and felt a bit weird. The once-familiar Fujimura-kun suddenly became Hao-kun. That was manageable, but turning into two strange little children made it difficult for her to accept. After all, having a relationship with minors under 14 is illegal, and she wasn't a big sister with a thing for young boys. She couldn't confess to two kids.

But on second thought, she saw it as a good opportunity. In reality, she couldn't bully Fujimura-kun, but at least in her dreams, she could bully the essence of Fujimura-kun, and it was the elementary school version. These two bean sprouts couldn't resist, and she found them more pleasing to the eye, even a bit cute.

Hmm, boyfriend's childhood appearance looks quite good for petting.

The Sunny Boy saw her sincerity and was slightly moved.

He was not the fully realized Fushimi Roku, but the childish, willful version of Zhou Hao, thus more easily influenced, making irrational decisions. After all, there's a little boy in every man's heart, and this guy had two, one yin and one yang, a true rarity.

For instance, the Sunny Boy understood the harm of memory overwrite, akin to drinking poison to quench thirst, planting a time bomb in his mind, and there might come a day when Fushimi Roku feels misunderstood by the entire world, even Minamoto Tamako not understanding his thoughts, leading to intense self-destructive tendencies.

But despite knowing the bitter results it would bring, he still turned a blind eye, continuing to indulge in this false happiness, even as the Gloomy Boy intruded repeatedly, reminding him that the other side was already a complete mess, nearing its limit, he ignored it, pretending nothing happened.

Because he was a product of memory overwrite, he couldn't face the bloody pain.

This situation in the real world corresponds to Fushimi Roku's lack of self-discipline—when he had just crossed over, he maintained disciplined habits, reading files daily, running, exercising, not being lazy at police academy; but the current Fushimi Roku smoked, drank excessively, binge ate, sat in front of the TV all day without leaving home, with Nue Poison molding on his skin.

Ultimately, in Fushimi Roku's heart, all of Japan were aliens, and he lived among them. If he didn't open his heart, he would eventually drive himself mad. When he established an intimate relationship with Minamoto Tamako, he would exhibit various bad behaviors to test the solidity of the relationship, a typical severe avoidant attachment patient.

He longed for recognition, yet couldn't speak to anyone.

If it were someone else, they would have already cursed Fushimi Roku and moved out, but only Minamoto Tamako could tolerate his bad habits.

Seeing Minamoto Tamako's sincere demeanor, the sunny boy decided to give her a chance: "Now you have two paths to take." He raised two small fingers and said seriously, "The first path, I can send you away, let you wake up directly and deal with the matters outside..."

Minamoto Tamako's face was serious; she hadn't forgotten that in reality, she, Fujimura-kun, and the others were in the basement, most likely hypnotized by the instigator, Miyazaki Shizuka, and people could die.

The sunny boy paused, then continued, "The second path, you stay here, follow the rules set by Miyazaki Shizuka, untangle his knots, let the Heart Acupoint become peaceful... In this process, you can completely understand what kind of people we are."

Minamoto Tamako looked conflicted. She knew that if she continued to stay, endless death awaited her, and her memories would slowly fade; also, the situation outside was not optimistic, Nishino Fuyu is still a child, both she and Fushimi Roku have lost consciousness, and if Miyazaki Shizuka wanted to kill them to silence them, they would all be doomed.

What to do?

Maybe I should go out first and talk to Fujimura-kun about this later...

The sunny boy seemed to guess what Minamoto Tamako was thinking and advised, "Once you go out, you'll forget what you dreamed of, and I can guarantee that I will never mention this matter to you again."

Minamoto Tamako understood; this was her only chance to learn about Fujimura-kun.

"Now... what's the situation outside?" she swallowed and clenched her fists.

The sunny boy rolled his eyes, leaving only white in his eyes, making him look especially frightening. He was silent for a while and then answered, "Not good, Yuanbao and Kawai are arguing fiercely, and that wicked woman is taking advantage of the situation to hide in the corner... Ah, I think I heard the sound of a crossbow being loaded."

After speaking, his eyes returned to normal: "This is surface memory, the time flow rate is three to one; if you enter the Heart Acupoint, the time flow rate is thirty to one; if by luck you delve into the second layer of the Heart Acupoint, the time flow rate is three hundred to one."

Minamoto Tamako wanted to ask what's going on with Yuanbao and Kawai, but she resisted: "That ghost place... there's another layer?"

"Yeah, so you better think carefully." the sunny boy said.

The time left for her wasn't much, she didn't plan to hesitate, and said seriously, "I choose the second path!"

In the Heart Acupoint, one minute is equivalent to half an hour, if she goes down another layer, one minute is equivalent to five hours, she felt there was still time to strive for it—Minamoto Tamako's agreement wasn't just to understand Fujimura-kun, the main reason was she found his mental state seemed extremely twisted.

If she doesn't seize this opportunity to understand deeply, there might not be a chance to resolve it in the future.

The sunny boy didn't waste time, he said okay, and led Minamoto Tamako and the gloomy boy to the attic.

On the way to the attic, he suggested Minamoto Tamako call Fushimi Roku. If he guessed correctly, Fushimi Roku's main consciousness was also in Minamoto Tamako's Heart Acupoint.

"Can you communicate by phone in a dream?" Minamoto Tamako didn't understand.

"Yes, you guys are originally in the same room, a phone call is just a psychological hint that makes you talk in your sleep, my main consciousness can naturally hear it—once he hears, he'll respond, your main consciousness can also hear it."

The sunny boy shrugged: "In short, it's like you two are talking in your sleep to each other."

"I see..."

Minamoto Tamako touched her pocket, and the pink flip phone was back. She quickly bowed her head and dialed, calling Fushimi Roku on the other side, reminding him not to commit suicide to avoid memory erasure, and to beware of other dangers in the dream. She died thrice and accumulated a lot of experience, knowing that certain invisible rules must be obeyed in the dream, and it's best to listen, otherwise, one might suddenly die.

Before she finished speaking, Miyazaki Shizuka pulled the trigger on Fushimi Roku, the latter reacted violently, grabbed the crossbow arrow and flipped it back, causing the sleep-talking to be interrupted, and the phone receiver was full of electronic noise.

"Damn! Right at this moment..."

Minamoto Tamako was anxious, called back, but it was all busy signals. Angel little man and Demon Kawai were arguing, no time to listen to Minamoto Tamako's sleep talk.

No choice but to take one step at a time.

The three returned to that dusty attic, the sunny boy reached out and wiped the mirror, gestured for Minamoto Tamako to proceed.

Minamoto Tamako took a deep breath, steeled herself, and took a bold step into the chaotic scene.
