Anime Crossover: My Youth Begins with Charlotte

Page 207

After realizing this, Xia Yan became increasingly concerned about the matter. For some reason, he always had a sense of unease in his heart, believing that Master Long would use this thing to do bad things.

So, although Master Long used the fact that he had helped them in the past to suppress Xia Yan, Xia Yan, while appearing to be doing nothing, was actually observing what Master Long really wanted to do.

In fact, Xia Yan sometimes secretly entered Long Ye's research and development base to see what Long Ye was planning to do. However, when he disguised himself as a researcher there and went in, a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

He discovered that most of the people inside were researchers, and they were all wrapped up very tightly, as if to prevent any harmful substances from entering their bodies.

Not only that, he also saw all sorts of colorful things here. After realizing this, Xia Yan frowned deeply. But at the same time, he saw a pair of researchers locked in the laboratory, holding the very thing that had been taken out of Kaguya's body.

Upon seeing this scene, a strange look flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. But now that he had finally managed to get in, he couldn't just leave so easily. So he pretended to be one of the people here and quietly walked up to the front of the research lab.

Then he saw the two researchers place the thing they had taken out of Kaguya's body onto a platform, and then extract some more substances from it. He also saw that there were experimental subjects on the other side.

Upon seeing this scene, Xia Yan frowned deeply, because he really didn't know why Master Long was doing this.

But at the same time, just as Xia Yan was thinking this, he suddenly saw a familiar person appear directly in front of him.

Chapter 261 went undiscovered

This person was none other than Master Long. Upon realizing this, a hint of panic flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, but Master Long seemed unaware that the person in front of him was Xia Yan, and instead went directly into the laboratory.

Upon seeing this scene, a glint flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, but then he heard Master Long's voice:

"Are you all useless? So much time has passed and you still haven't developed that drug. I'm telling you to reconfigure it; it's extremely useful to us in 04. Didn't you hear what I said?"

Hearing these words, the gloom in Xia Yan's eyes deepened, because he was only now slowly realizing that Master Long had actually had someone research and reformulate that medicine.

Upon realizing this, a hint of worry flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, because he was well aware that taking that thing out of Kaguya's body would be extremely harmful to the human body.

If this were to spread, it could potentially cause great danger. Realizing this, he frowned deeply.

However, at the same time, he was also very clear in his heart that he could no longer stop Master Long's actions. Moreover, he had just heard the two researchers tell Master Long that the drug was almost finished and was just waiting to be put into use.

Realizing this, Xia Yan followed the others to the research site and found that there were indeed many test tubes, most of which were sealed and frozen, and some of them were directly packed into boxes.

Upon seeing this scene, Shirogane Miyuki's expression instantly turned serious, because he knew very well that if this thing were to circulate, it would definitely pose a great threat, and it seemed that what Lord Long was trying to do was to have him sell it off in secret.

Realizing this, Xia Yan was also very clear in his heart that the most important thing now was to stop Long Ye's behavior, but he didn't know how to stop him.

He knew perfectly well that since Master Long had spent so much manpower and money researching this medicine, he wouldn't let him end it so easily. Moreover, now that the organization had been completely wiped out, no one could stop Master Long's advance.

Realizing this, Xia Yan knew he couldn't stay there any longer, so he quietly slipped away when no one was looking. But when he returned, he was filled with worry.

He knew very well that if he didn't stop this from happening, most people might end up like Kaguya 523, and the ultimate efficacy of the drug was still unknown.

Kaguya only stayed inside his body for a short time, and she has already become like this. According to the doctor, this is because it was discovered in time. If other people were to become like this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Realizing this, Xia Yan frowned deeply. He had been very troubled by this matter these past few days because he couldn't think of any reason to stop Master Long. Moreover, if Master Long knew about this, he certainly wouldn't let him off the hook.

Even if they had worked together before, as Ram and Chika said.

Chapter 262 Telling the Truth

Master Long is not a good person, so it's best for them to have as little contact with him as possible. After realizing this, he felt extremely annoyed about the matter.

Meanwhile, Chika noticed that something was wrong with Xia Yan. For the first few days, perhaps because they had just moved in, Xia Yan acted normally. For a while, Chika and Ram even thought that Xia Yan was doing nothing else on his own.

But to his surprise, only a few days later, Xia Yan started to become absent-minded. Sometimes when asked to fetch something, he would either not bring it or bring the wrong thing. After realizing this, the worry in his eyes gradually deepened.

You see, he and Ram moved into Xia Yan's house specifically to keep an eye on him and prevent him from doing anything foolish. However, although Xia Yan had acted perfectly normally these past few days, he had vaguely sensed something was off. Realizing this, he decided against observing him secretly any longer. He directly stood in front of Xia Yan and asked him:

"What's wrong with you? I've noticed you've been acting really strange lately. Has something happened? Or have you been doing something behind my and Ram's back?"

After hearing these words, Xia Yan, who had just been lost in thought, slowly came to his senses. He glanced at Qian Hua and frowned slightly. Even though he now knew what Master Long had done, he didn't want Qian Hua and Ram to know.

Because he knew very well that if those two knew, they might worry even more. Besides, they were worried about him precisely because they were concerned about him at home. Realizing this, Xia Yan's brows furrowed even more, but to avoid worrying Xiao Huang, he still spoke to Qian Hua:

"Alright, alright, you don't need to worry. What could possibly happen to me? Besides, with both of you living in my house now, I wouldn't dare do anything I wanted. Don't worry so much."

After saying this, Xia Yan wanted to leave, because he was really afraid that if Qian Hua continued to ask questions, he would blurt it out. However, Qian Hua seemed to have seen through his thoughts and directly blocked his way, saying to him:

"Don't try to fool me. Do you think I don't know what you're like when you lie and when you tell the truth? You're definitely hiding something from me and Ram. I'm giving you a chance. Either you tell me right now, or I'll go find Ram and we'll interrogate her together. The choice is yours."

Xia Yan's helplessness was slowly subsiding. He really hadn't expected Qian Hua to do this. Realizing this, his brows furrowed even more. Meanwhile, Qian Hua noticed that Xia Yan was always dodging her questions.

Realizing this, he refused to give up and wanted to get to the bottom of it. However, Xia Yan had been trying to avoid the matter. Qian Hua was naturally unhappy about this and kept pestering him.

At first, Xia Yan didn't want to tell Chika and Ram about it, but he couldn't resist Chika's persistent pleading and finally told her.

Chapter 263 The Two's Worries

After hearing Xia Yan's explanation, Chika frowned deeply, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

He had noticed something was off about Xia Yan a few days ago, but at that time he still had a way to deal with it. However, after hearing Xia Yan's words, he knew that Xia Yan was determined to see this through to the end.

Realizing this, Chika frowned deeply, but still said to Natsuhiko:

"Regarding this matter, I really hope you can think twice before acting. More importantly, you are no match for Master Long at all. Although you secretly sneaked into the laboratory on May 523, how do you know that Master Long didn't find out?"

After saying this, the worry in Qianhua's eyes deepened, because he knew very well that since Lord Long had cooperated with them in the past, he had ruthlessly annihilated the entire organization.

This proved that he disregarded all feelings, and upon realizing this, Qianhua frowned deeply. Standing to the side, Xia Yan's eyes flashed with worry upon hearing this, but he finally said to Qianhua:

“I am well aware of what you are saying, but you must also understand that if we do not address this issue, it could potentially harm even more people. You have seen what has become of Kaguya because of that harmful substance. Moreover, Lord Long has already extracted it and is preparing to ship it all over the world. If we do not stop it, the consequences will be dire.”

After saying these words, Xia Yan looked at Qian Hua with a determined look in his eyes, while Qian Hua's brows furrowed tightly.

Because you know perfectly well in his heart that they are no match for Master Long, especially since Master Long has been here for over a decade. His influence is immense; how could they possibly escape his sphere of influence?

Moreover, the fact that Master Long has intervened in this matter proves that it is profitable for him. If Xia Yan rashly intervenes and damages Master Long's interests, then don't blame Master Long for turning his back on him. After realizing this, Qianhua's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

However, he didn't know how to persuade Xia Yan, because Xia Yan was determined to handle this matter. Xia Yan, standing nearby, naturally saw through Qian Hua's thoughts, sighed softly, and then said to her:

"Oh, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. You can rest assured about this. I definitely won't put myself in any danger. Besides, I promise you, if I encounter any great danger, I definitely won't go alone."

Upon hearing these words, the anger in Qianhua's eyes gradually lessened, but the furrowed brows remained. However, she knew that Xia Yan's promise to her was already the biggest concession he could make.

Realizing this, he sighed softly. Then he could only nod helplessly to Xia Yan. Seeing this, a smile slowly appeared on Xia Yan's lips. After comforting Qian Hua for a while, the two parted ways.

Meanwhile, Xia Yan knew perfectly well that he had to stop Master Long's actions, otherwise more people would be harmed. However... just as Xia Yan was about to leave...

Chapter 264 Questioning

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Shirogane Miyuki standing there.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yan's eyes flashed with confusion, because he knew perfectly well that Shirogane Miyuki usually stayed at the hospital taking care of Kaguya at this time. Why was he here? Had something happened? Perhaps realizing this, a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked Shirogane Miyuki:

"Why did you suddenly come here? Did something important happen, or do you have something important to tell me?"

Shirogane Miyuki frowned slightly, looking embarrassed. Seeing this, Xia Yan's confusion deepened. He was in a hurry to get out and didn't expect to run into Shirogane Miyuki.

Coupled with Shirogane Miyuki's current hesitant appearance, a hint of anxiety flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. Realizing this, Xia Yan didn't want to get entangled with Shirogane Miyuki here, and directly said to him:

"I see you can't bring yourself to say it right now. In that case, why don't you wait until I get back? I have some things to take care of right now. Just wait for me at home."

Upon hearing this, Shirogane Miyuki looked up at Xia Yan, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He had calculated that Xia Yan would be unharmed at this particular time, which was why he had realized this. His doubt deepened, so he stepped directly in front of Xia Yan and asked him:

Why are you in such a hurry? Has something happened? Are you hiding something from me?

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan frowned slightly, but he didn't want Shirogane Miyuki to know about it, as the matter was fraught with danger. Realizing this, he dodged the question and said to Shirogane Miyuki:

"You're overthinking it. How could anything else have happened? Besides, you've been in the hospital for the past few days. Have you heard anything about what happened? I just wanted to go out and buy some things."

A glint flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes, then he glanced casually at the sofa and noticed Xia Yan's wallet was still there. Realizing this, he knew Xia Yan was lying to him, and his curiosity grew even stronger. He blocked the doorway and spoke to Xia Yan again:

0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·········

"Tell me, are we even friends? You've gotten into trouble and you didn't even tell me. Don't you consider me a friend at all? Or do you still like Kaguya and that's why you're not telling me?"

A hint of helplessness flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, because he really didn't expect Shirogane Miyuki's imagination to be so strong, but he also didn't expect to meet Shirogane Miyuki here, so at the beginning Xia Yan wanted to make excuses.

..... .. .......

However, Shirogane Miyuki seemed to have seen through it all. He stared intently at Natsuhiko, unmoving, and then said to him with great determination:

"Tell me if you're hiding something from me. I'm telling you, if something really happens, you can't go on an adventure alone. If you don't tell me, I'm going to find Chika and Ram right now. I'm sure you'll tell them after they ask you."

After saying these words, Shirogane Miyuki looked at Xia Yanfan with a threatening expression.

Chapter 265 Return the favor

The helplessness in Xia Yan's eyes was also slowly deepening, because he had just managed to coax Qian Hua away with great difficulty.

If Shirogane Miyuki were to bring those two back now, he wouldn't be able to go this time. Realizing this, he frowned deeply. But Shirogane Miyuki, standing beside him, didn't give up and kept pressing Xia Yan for answers.

Realizing this, Xia Yan sighed softly, but "527" still addressed Shirogane Miyuki:

"I can tell you what I'm planning to do, but you have to keep this a secret from me, otherwise you can kill me and I won't tell you."

Upon hearing these words, a serious look flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes, because he couldn't recall what had made Natsuhiko's expression so serious.

Not only that, after thinking about it, he realized that nothing major had happened recently. A determined look flashed in his eyes, and he nodded to Xia Yan.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yan's worry gradually lessened, but he still told Shirogane Miyuki the truth in the end. After explaining the whole story, Xia Yan still anxiously instructed Shirogane Miyuki:

"Alright, now I've told you the whole story, but you have to remember what you promised me. You must keep this a secret, or you're dead."

A hint of calm flashed in Miyuki Shirogane's eyes, because he hadn't expected that what Natsuhiko said was actually related to the thing taken out of Kaguya's body.

However, seeing Xia Yan's serious expression, he knew that this matter was of great importance, so he nodded to Xia Yan. But when he saw Xia Yan about to leave, he blocked his way.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yan's confusion deepened, and he looked at Shirogane Miyuki with great puzzlement.

Shirogane Miyuki, however, remained calm, yet spoke to Xia Yan with deep affection and utmost seriousness:

"Of course I can keep this a secret for you. I will keep my word. But I have one request: I want to go with you."

A hint of confusion flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, and at the same time, he felt quite helpless. He was genuinely puzzled because he had already told Shirogane Miyuki everything, yet Shirogane Miyuki seemed to be avoiding the matter entirely...

Why should he continue to go with him, especially since this trip is fraught with danger? Realizing this, Xia Yan naturally disagreed.

So he directly refused Shirogane Miyuki, saying:

"No, don't you know I disagree? This trip is fraught with danger. Besides, Master Long is not someone you can easily deal with. Don't underestimate him. And that's a harmful substance. When did you become so close to me? Do you want to live and die with me?"

Shirogane Miyuki's brows furrowed tightly, but he still looked at Xia Yan with a determined expression and said to him:

"You're overthinking it. I don't want to share life and death with you. I only went with you because this time was too dangerous, so I did it to repay a favor. Don't overthink it."

Hearing these words, the helplessness in Xia Yan's eyes deepened.

Chapter 266 Leaving a Note

Because he had never heard of repaying favors in this way.

However, Shirogane Miyuki forced Natsuhiko to tell the truth. Natsuhiko asked Shirogane Miyuki to keep his secret, but Shirogane Miyuki directly said that he would go with Natsuhiko. Natsuhiko was a little confused.

Shirogane Miyuki said it was to repay a debt of gratitude, but Natsuhiko explained to him that the trip was very dangerous, yet Shirogane Miyuki insisted on going. Natsuhiko had no choice but to take Shirogane Miyuki with him, and the two set off.
