Chapter 56: Freedom from Bondage

"Are you looking for me? Sister Margaret. "When I came to the café, I found her in the center.

"Hmm. You're ready to go on a mission with me today. Go and assassinate a wealthy businessman. "Actually, Margaret didn't communicate with me much, and every time she simply explained the task to me, but every time she explained, I could always see a trace of anger in her eyes. It's very uncomfortable.

"Well, if you assassinate a rich businessman, I'll just go myself. Don't bother you, Sister Margaret. I smiled slightly. Judging by the joke, if she were to follow such a thing as assassination, my risk factor would be increased by at least three levels.

"Hmph. I said you will follow me. What is so much nonsense for. Now go get your gear. We'll see you at the gate of the base in ten minutes. "Compared to before, Margaret doesn't seem to be in a good mood today. Is this a sign of something to come?

"Yes. I know. Without further rebuttal, I replied respectfully, and went to the arsenal to get a sniper rifle with the longest range, which should be able to hit exactly 1,000 yards away if the wind was not strong. With my gun in hand, I went back to my room. After explaining to Shizuru that he would not be back tonight, he walked to the parking lot of the base.

"Get in the car. "Margaret threw me the keys to her Ferrari and let me drive. I didn't say much. The car was started. Head to the target.

"icewine, if I'm not mistaken. You're going to be a gold medal in five more missions, right?" said Margaret with a playful laugh.

"Really, I didn't pay much attention. I would like to thank Sister Margaret for cultivating me. I replied as I drove.

"Hmph. That's a good thing to say, but rest assured, you'll be free soon after this mission. "Margaret doesn't look at me anymore. Instead, she began to examine her pistol.

I frowned slightly at her words. There are five more missions that say that they will be free after this mission? To be in the organization is to die. And she's still checking her pistol, is she going to do it today?" I frowned without a trace, but I didn't dare to relax at all.

Soon. The car drove 1,500 yards from the target. At Margaret's request, she asked me to snipe around 700 yards. Although I was confident that I could snipe from 1,000 yards away, I had to listen to her in order to disguise my own abilities. With my sniper rifle in hand, I aimed at my target.

"Wind direction, three levels from west to east, temperature 12C, relative humidity 27% distance 700 yards, adjusted trajectory 362.7F. Margaret said slowly to me with a telescope.

After feeling that what she said was about the same as I thought, I began to aim for my goal. After I locked on to the fat man, I motioned to Margaret that it was okay. And Margaret stood up when she heard me. After a gentle stroke on my back, he signaled that I could shoot.

I was a little skeptical about Margaret's actions. Why did she stand up? Ignoring her movements, I had to do my best to finish off my target and turn back to face Margaret. There's a good chance she'll strike at me after the target is killed. Be mentally prepared. I silently aimed my crosshair at my target's forehead.

Bang!

Two gunshots. The first shot was the sound of my sniper rifle, while the second shot was the sound of a Margaret pistol. The moment I pulled the trigger, a tremendous force rushed into the back of my heart.

Poof! I spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground in pain.

"Cut, can't you prevent it?" "I was still thinking of turning around immediately after the shot. I didn't expect her to detect the timing of my shooting and shoot with me, so that she not only completed the mission, but also successfully killed me. That bastard woman, worthy of the darkest gold medal!

Her pistol bullet came in through my back, nailed to my left chest. I rolled over in pain and looked at her coldly. Look at her face that was hideous with excitement.

"Ahh was even shot through the heart, and he didn't die instantly. Worthy of the Ice Demon. Margaret looked at me with a playful expression.

"Ahem...... You...... You bastard. I gasped in pain. Constant coughing up of blood. The bullet just now has hurt my trachea. If the blood is not treated within two hours, it is likely that the alveoli will be damaged and the alveoli will stop working, so I will be in great danger.

"Hmph. Even if you don't die now, you won't be able to survive for two minutes. Stinky little ghost, I'll let you live? I saw that your strength was good, so I kept you by my side. Now you're about to become a gold medalist. How could I possibly give you this opportunity? You're so good with that woman in Belmode, if you make it a gold medal, then how am I going to mess around in the organization?" And then he smiled at me like he was looking at garbage.

"Hmph. Stinky little ghost, you won't survive anyway, let me hear your last words. As she spoke, Margaret pointed a gun at my head. But her hands trembled slightly. Is it because of the trembling of excitement?

"Hmph...... Anyway...... I'm going to die...... Ahem......" I said weakly. "Don't fight...... My face. Let me die...... Ahem...... Look good......" I said coldly.

"Hmph, hum, hum...... Hahahaha. Margaret laughed maniacally. "I didn't expect you, a dead ghost, to take care of your face when you were dying. Haha, okay! I'll do it for you!" Margaret said as she pointed her gun at my heart again. Three shots were fired from the front. Blood spurted out in an instant, staining the earth red.

With Margaret's sneer, I fell to the ground with a heavy blow. Margaret, on the other hand, left without looking back, disappearing into the night highway in her Ferrari.

As the car departed, the night gradually became quiet, and on a small hillside not far from the road, a black-haired boy lay motionless in a pool of blood.

In an instant, with a chirp of the nightingale, the young man's amethyst-like deep pupils suddenly opened.

"Huh. Maggie...... Lit...... You'll be ...... right away OK...... I'm going to see the Grim Reaper!"

――――The smell of orchids, the taste of lavender, the taste of home > the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians――――

"What?!, you say ice, he ......" at the café at the base. Belmode looked at the teasing Margaret and shouted loudly.

"Ahh Don't be so loud. Margaret plucked her ears disdainfully. "I'm not deaf, why are you so loud? ”

"Margaret. What the hell is wrong with the ice!" Belmode stared at her coldly.

"What else? ”

"You killed him!"

"Ahh Don't say that. The kid was killed to cover my retreat. It has nothing to do with me. Margaret smiled at the angry Belmode. "Huh. You're a pretty good kid. In order to cover my retreat, I was left to be bait. Unfortunately, he was shot several times. I can't survive anymore. As the one who survived. It seems that I will have to go to his grave every year in the future. Hahahahaha. Looking at the furious Belmode, Margaret laughed even more wildly.

"Margaret, you bastard!" Belmode crushed the cup in front of him, and the murderous aura instantly enveloped the entire café. Belmode was so angry that she even wanted to kill the arrogant woman in front of her with one shot, but she couldn't do that because of the constraints of the organization.

"Allalla. Don't be so angry, Vermouth, I'm going to get someone from you next. Hehe, I heard that the Angel of Annihilation was brought out by the child's own hands. Prepare yourself, it's her next time I'm going to be. Hahaha. ”

Belmode looked at her coldly, his fists clenched. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something. Hurriedly asked.

"Hey. Margaret. You killed Bing, but I want to ask you how you killed her. ”

"Huh? It doesn't hurt to sue you. He was shot four times in the heart, and he died hard. But I didn't do it. Hahahahaha. ”

"You mean you hit him in the heart?" Belmode laughed suddenly.

"Hey, vermouth. Are you alright? He was shot in the heart, what are you laughing at?" Margaret looked at Belmode in confusion. "Did he drive you crazy because of his death? ”

"Hmph. If you hit him in the heart. Then he won't die so easily. Belmode smiled coldly.

"Hmm, what do you mean by that? Margaret suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Squeak. The café door rang.

"What do you mean?" Belmode sneered.

Da ...... Da ...... Da ...... A heavy footstep.

"What do you mean by words. You'd better ask him yourself. Belmode laughed.

Margaret turned her head. saw the last person she wanted to see in her life.

"That's what it means. You're the one who died!"

Bang!!!

The characteristic explosion of the sand eagle resounded throughout the café. Margaret collapsed limply to the sound of the gunfire with a look of disbelief.

That's right. I am back. After being wounded by a bullet in the lungs, he returned from a distance of several kilometers.

After Margaret wounded me. Three more shots in my chest. It's all about the position of the heart. But everybody knows. My heart was on the right side, so all three bullets were stuck in my muscles and didn't hurt me much. The only fatal thing was the shot from the back, and I've been coughing up blood since now. And after more than ten minutes of delay. My vision was already blurred by the blood loss, and I took Renault out of the necklace with the emergency hemostatic agent in the necklace. I got back to the base as fast as I could. The goal was to kill Margaret, who had already betrayed the Order by shooting me. And I'm not dead, so she must be the one who dies!

"Ice. Are you alright?" Belmode said, holding me on to the staggering and worried. Judging from the bleeding Cheng dù on my body, the injury this time is not trivial.

"Bei...... Sister...... Go find ...... Shizuru ......" after the last word of the command. I also fainted from blood loss.

When I woke up again, I was already lying in the still room. Since Rei moved out, Shizuru has converted this place into an operating room at my request. Every time I come back from an injury, I've been treated here, and this time was no exception.

"Ahem, ahem......" I sat up with a frown. Look around your surroundings. I found that the still stream was not there, and I was the only one lying here. On the operating rack next to Chuang, four deformed bullets glistened in a large pool of blood. Looking at the needles in my arms attached to the blood bags and the bandages wrapped around my body, I knew that I had crawled out of hell again.

Hula...... The sound of the door opening.

"Ahra, ice. Lie down. Shizuru, who walked in from outside the door, saw me sitting up and hurriedly stopped.

"Ahh Static ...... cough cough cough ...... "Before I finished speaking, I felt a stuffy itch in my chest, and I coughed involuntarily.

"Ice. Don't talk, lie down and rest. "The still stream pressed the new me on the chuang. "Ice. How does it feel?"

"I feel like I'm not breathing. I said with a frown. It seems that the injury this time is really very serious.

"Of course. Your left lung is severely damaged. I really don't know how you carried it. Shizuru frowned. "Bing, no matter what happens in the future, at least from now on, at least for two months, you will be lying on chuang. ”

"Huh. No, you don't. Ahem, ahem. "I looked at the clock with some difficulty. "I remember it was three o'clock in the night when I came back. It's only eight o'clock. I woke up in just five hours. You don't have to stay that long. ”

"Hmph. You said that because you didn't want Shiho to see you as a wolf. Shizuru looked at me dissatisfied.

"Hey, hey. You found out. Ahem...... "I grinned as I held back my cough. Truly. I don't know what Shiho would think if she saw me like this, so I had to put my best foot forward before she came back.

"If that's the case, don't use it. Shiho has been sitting here for hours now, just leaving. Shizuru said to me.

"Hey!?" I wondered. Shiho is back?

"Ice ...... Do you think you've really only been in a coma for five hours?" Shizuru looked at me helplessly. At the same time, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. "Except for eight hours today. You've been in a coma for two whole days. ”

"What?!ahem...... "I was surprised. I was in a coma for two whole days without feeling anything. "Sister Shizuru. You're not kidding, are you? Two days?"

"Alright. Ice. Don't talk anymore. Shizuru looked at me worriedly. "Rest well, you need to recuperate now. This time you come back choking a lot of blood in your lungs, and your alveoli almost collapse. Fortunately, the surgery was timely, otherwise I might never see you again. He said. Shizuryu's eyes began to mist with water.

"Is that so?" I frowned. "Forget it. It's okay now. "I thought about the situation. Finally shook his head.

"Okay, Sister Shizuru. Am I still alive, don't be sad? By the way, Shiho her...... She didn't say anything, did she?"

"Hmm. When Shiho came back yesterday, he asked me for your information. Knowing that you are just past a dangerous time, I came to see you. But you never woke up, and in the end it was Shiho who got a call and left in a hurry, and I just sent her out when I wasn't there. Shizuru rubbed her eyes and took out a bottle of drip from the operating rack for me to replace.

"Ahem...... In other words, I missed it with Shiho?"

"yes. It's only a few minutes away. Shizuru smiled helplessly. "Peace of mind. After a while, when Shiho is done with the work at hand, she will come to see you. ”

"Did she say she was in any work?" I asked hurriedly.

"Nope. She simply said that she participated in an important study of the organization. It will take about two weeks to come back this time. Shizuru said to me as she cleaned up the table.

"That's right. Ahem. I lay down again, thinking with some worry. It seems that it still didn't stop Shiho from participating in that research. No. This research has been going on for a long time. And with Zhibao's ability, she must participate in it, and I can't stop it if I want to.

"Whew......" I let out a long breath. The feeling of tightness in my chest made me uncomfortable again. Now I can only pray that Sister Bei will not hold a grudge against Zhibao. Otherwise, I don't really know what to do with it.

"Ice ......"

"Huh?"

"From now on...... You're not going to do those dangerous missions, are you?" Shizuru looked at me gently.

"Ahh No, it won't. A smile tugged at the corner of my mouth. "From now on, I am completely free from the shackles of that woman. ”
