Arthas was brainwashed and controlled by the Organization. He forgot everything about his past and became the Organization's ubiquitous shadow.
But only Arthas himself knew that he was bound to a Good De Deeds System. He could exchange virtue points for days of life only by doing good deeds and accumulating merit. Now, the days of life he'd exchanged for the virtue points he amassed before losing his memory were nearly used up, and the System panel had gone completely dark.
But it didn't matter. He didn't want to live anyway.
The future Whiskey Trio gathered at one of the Organization's bases, waiting in silence for their code-name qualification examiner: Arthas Whiskey.
However, when they saw with their own eyes the handsome young man with flame-red hair and gray-black eyes, the two Public Security undercover agents kept their composure, but inside, their hearts were thrown into turmoil.
They had seen a photo of him with their class monitor and the monitor's girlfriend in the monitor's wallet back in police academy. At the time, their class monitor had told them sadly that this was his friend, the one who had promised to attend the police academy with him, and the younger brother of his girlfriend, who had died young: Kurama Asakage.
After secretly observing him for a while, Rei Furuya and Hiromitsu Morofushi grew increasingly certain that Arthas was Kurama Asakage. At the same time, they also discovered that he was hiding many secrets.
It was only during a mission, when Rei Furuya was seriously injured, that one corner of the secret was revealed before their eyes.
For the first time in front of them, Arthas took off his black leather gloves. He held out his pale wrist to the golden-haired, dark-skinned young man. "You shouldn't die here... Bite me. Drink my blood, and your wounds will heal soon."
As if he had noticed Hiromitsu Morofushi watching, he turned and cast him a cool glance, then casually swept his long red hair off his shoulder. "Do you want to join us?"
So that's where those bite marks and needle holes came from. Arthas was the source of the Organization's research into cell-activating, rapid-regeneration drugs.
Step by step, they drew closer to the truth, and step by step, they entered Arthas's heart, frozen for so long.
Arthas made up his mind: he would use the final embers of his life to clear a path for them.
Yet after he willingly sank into the depths of the sea, the black-haired, blue-eyed young man turned back and breathed oxygen into his lungs. "You shouldn't die here either, Asakage."
Reader's guide:
1. The protagonist has a vortex-prone constitution and tenacious vitality, and is a melancholy type. His solo combat ability is top-tier. He lives in darkness but yearns for the light. He isn't a jokester, has no secret identity, and fights for real.
2. Mutual salvation. Everyone from the police academy group survives. They trade sincerity for sincerity. The pairing is the Public Security undercover group (sandwich relationship or separate 1v1 endings; anything could change before it's written).
3. Includes forum posts and bullet comments. Mainly Detective Conan.
4. Flowers or brickbats are up to you, and whether you stay or leave is your choice. Please don't attack anyone personally. Let's build a harmonious comment section with civil discussion. Mwah!
