Chapter 30 The truth is the perfect disguise of a lie

When Zhi Jing mentioned shopping, he just wandered around in a nearby convenience store.

Amuro followed Ori Kagami, watching her walk without hesitation among the dazzling snack racks. He couldn't help but make a sound of regret, and pulled off two bags of potato chips and quietly put them in the shopping cart behind him.

Naturally, Zhi Jing didn't notice the little actions of someone who was still childlike. For her, being able to stay with Amuro, even if they didn't say anything, was already a very comfortable thing, regardless of whether the person behind her was there or not. How about sneaking snacks?

As she walked towards the new vegetable area, she said: "I submitted my report to the university I want. If nothing else happens, I may go to the UK to study for the last two years of university."

"Really?" Amuro looked at Ori Kagami in surprise, "Where is it in England?"

Zhi Jing proudly walked to the fresh vegetables, picked the vegetables, and said the name of a school.

That school is second to none in the world in terms of clinical medicine. Amuro didn’t know any specific information about this, but he also knew the prestige of this school. He couldn’t help but sigh at the IQ of other people’s children, and exclaimed: “Congratulations on your upcoming... Become the person with the highest academic qualifications in the organization.”

"I am not the one with the highest academic qualifications." Zhi Jing chuckled, put the green vegetables into the purchase bag, and gently reminded: "Shirley is a double doctorate from an Ivy League school, and the double doctorate is underage."

"People in the organization have been struggling since childhood and delayed their studies. They have specialties in various aspects, but those with high academic qualifications are scary." When Oriuki said this, he suddenly looked at Amuro and whispered. Said: "Can you believe it? Vodka turned out to be a master of science and engineering!"

"Eh?"

This news is even more exciting than Gin having a lover...

No, no, the estimate is biased. The shock factor of Gin having a lover is still higher than that of Vodka being a college student, not even on the same level.

Amuro's face was full of shock, but Kaori laughed happily, lightly covering his lips with his fingertips, waving his other hand, and comforted: "I'm kidding, Vodka is a child abandoned by his parents, and was picked up by the organization. of."

She said it calmly and without sympathy. Amuro didn't think it was cold-blooded, but instead seemed to be a kind of gentleness that put vodka on an equal footing. She couldn't help but asked in a muffled voice: "Really?"

Zhi Jing nodded, his voice still gentle: "When Vodka was born, he had a tumor on his head. His parents probably threw him to the side of the road out of fear. It was the people from the organization who arranged the surgery for him. Don't worry. You see he is quite strong now, but he was as skinny as a monkey when he was a child, and if you look carefully, there is still a scar on his forehead."

She continued talking, picked a few carrots, and walked to the meat section. She said slowly as if she were talking about family treasures: "Gin was born in a war country. He has never even seen his parents. When he found him, he was still holding a knife." He came with a gun and was wary of everyone. Just taking him back to see that gentleman killed several members.”

"There is also an old member Pisco. He used to be just a country teacher. His son died at the hands of a group of gangsters. He joined the organization to avenge his son. Now the old man seems to be doing well and has accepted An adopted son.”

"Chianti is a retired soldier who suffers from the sequelae of war. He hurt his comrades during the attack. While serving his sentence in prison, he was bullied by his fellow inmates to the point where he became mentally insane."

"Cohen used to be a shooting athlete, but he had no academic qualifications because he had been training in a closed environment since he was a child. He couldn't find a job after retiring. His original unit was irresponsible and even his pension was swallowed up by his superiors. He fired more than 30 shots at his coach in a fit of rage. , not a single shot hit the vital point, and in the end the coach died of a heart attack..."

Amuro listened very carefully at first. Not only was he curious about the reasons why these people took a dark path, but he also wanted to find any useful clues from them. But as Zhi Jing mentioned more and more names and their corresponding experiences, he became more and more surprised.

Not for those names that he had never even heard of, but also for Kuroha Orikami's memory. Do ordinary people remember these things?

Doesn't this girl really care about everyone in the organization?
Amuro's eyes flickered slightly.

There were a lot of things that Oriuki wanted to buy, so she carried the shopping bag with some difficulty and walked to the counter. While the waiter was counting the money, she turned back and asked, as if accidentally: "Why does Mr. Amuro want to join the organization?"

"Me?" Amuro was asked unexpectedly. He was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Look at my skin."

His skin is only slightly darker than that of ordinary yellow people, and is of a healthy wheat color. Ori Kyung likes this skin color very much, but Amuro smiled bitterly and said: "Because of this, I am of mixed race. Since I was a child, I have been regarded as black because of my dark skin." I'm an alien, and people who live with me tend to reject me. But I also have a somewhat impatient personality. When I'm angry, I like to fight with those kids, and I get beaten to a bloody head every time, until I learn free fighting. Join an organization, maybe Do you want to find the confidence not to be bullied?"

When the bad memories of the past came out of his mouth again, Amuro found that he no longer had resentment and paranoia, and was like Oriji before, with a little more indifference to see everything clearly.

Ori Kagami listened attentively, and took two lollipops from the shelf next to him. He handed one of them to Amuro, who was lost in memories, and smiled, revealing his white teeth and a playful little tiger tooth.

Of course what he said was true, but it was one of the reasons why he joined the police academy. After all, the truth is the perfect disguise for a lie.

Amuro smiled, shook his head, and asked, "What about you?"

Zhi Jing's eyes turned and slowly landed on the lollipop. There was a smile on his lips, but his eyes were a little dazed.

"I joined the organization voluntarily. I have some truths I want to know, and I don't want to make some people feel better."

Her eyes were burning and she said slowly:

"There is no difference between resisting without a plan and not resisting. If you don't want to be looked down upon, you must become a stronger person in all aspects. And after you become a strong person, when you look back, you will be in a state of mind to forgive those who Narrow-minded weaklings.”

This sentence sounded so familiar, Amuro always felt like she had heard it somewhere.

Yes, when I was a child, that drugstore, that woman...

"Mr. Amuro?"

As soon as he thought of this, Ori Kagami spoke hesitantly, interrupting Amuro's memories: "How did you and Scotland know each other?"

"King...Scotland?" Amuro quickly changed his words, so naturally that no trace of him could be seen: "We got to know each other not long after we arrived at the organization. Talking to him is quite opportunistic. What's wrong?"
