"I've always felt like the bar should have some music. ”

Calvin muttered.

He ordered a very old song, and then returned to Red Deer in the music that had been slightly transposed (presumably because the internal parts of the jukebox had been more or less damaged).

"Redbeard will come," he said to Red Deer, "and he's all too familiar with me and Isach. ”

At the mention of Redbeard, Calvin's expression became sad again.

"You know...... Sometimes you have that kind of person in your life, who has watched you grow up, who has witnessed your life, who has always been there, no matter how time passes. When you think of your past, you think of your home...... You'll think of him. ”

Calvin gulped down the strange liquor.

"Redbeard is that kind of person. He even knew that Isaac was going to take us to the former underground clinic, and he was going to be there, gun-to-gun, and the moment the door opened—" His voice was cut off, and after a few seconds he continued, "He's coming, I know." ”

Red Deer stared at Calvin, whose expression was unpredictable, leaned over, and kissed Calvin in his hair.

"Alright, dear, don't be sad, I'm always here with you...... I'm feeling a little weird right now, though. The wine, the music, and the burned-out bar, damn it, I feel more and more like the end of the movie. He deliberately whispered childishly in Calvin's ear.

Calvin burst out laughing.

"I'd like to leave the end to Joshua. ”

He said.

Then his laughter slowly faded away.

“…… I just want to know a truth today. ”

Calvin added.

After his words fell, Redbeard slowly walked through the door into the burned-out bar.

Calvin was not wrong about Redbeard's prediction, and Redbeard did find him accurately.

He had a rather scary submachine gun in his hand and looked quite tired.

He looked up at Calvin in the depths of the bar, the rays of the setting sun hitting the edges of his face, making him look older than Calvin had remembered.

"Hey, Calvin. ”

Redbeard greeted Calvin.

"I'm sorry, about Isaac – I don't want to hurt him. ”

He said.

"I know it's me who you really want to kill. ”

Calvin replied.

His voice was gloomy and cold like never before.

Redbeard looked at Calvin and let out a long sigh, followed by something that Calvin didn't expect - he put down the gun in his hand.

And almost at the same time, the red deer moved.

He swept to Redbeard's side with a speed that seemed unhuman, kicking the old man's weapon far away.

The muzzle of his gun was also attached to Redbeard's temple at the same moment.

Redbeard has always been calm about this, and he didn't even raise his eyebrows.

"In fact, if there's even one possibility...... There's no way I'm going to hurt you and Isaac anyway. You're Holden's child, and I promised him that I would take care of you. ”

As if completely unaware of the cold muzzle coming from the red deer, Redbeard stared straight at Calvin and said calmly. There was a despair and weakness in his tone that made Calvin feel extremely uncomfortable all over.

As someone who has been immersed in the underground world for so many years, the red beard of the past always has a cold and stern sense of authority haunting him. But in front of him, he has completely lost that special quality, and he is now like an ordinary old man, who has just walked out of the doctor's office, with a notice of terminal illness in his hand......

Calvin even felt a little familiar with him.

A hidden uneasiness slowly crept over him.

He thought back for a moment, and soon realized that the redbeard in front of him was so similar to the dying Dr. Holden.

"Isaac ......" Redbeard even mentions Isaac in front of Calvin.

"He's alive. ”

Before he could finish, Calvin replied.

A look of relief immediately appeared on Redbeard's face.

"Oh, thank God...... Thank God ......"

His figure was even a little shaky.

Of course, no matter how weak and old he behaved, Red Deer still calmly held his gun and aimed it at Redbeard's temple like a machine made of metal.

However, when Redbeard learns that Isaac is not in danger of his life, he seems to have completely given up on himself.

He showed all his cards directly in front of Calvin and Red Deer.

He pulled open his shirt - rows of bombs were sewn onto the inside pockets of his coat in an ugly, chilling scene.

"You've got a good partner, kid, but it's useless, let him get the gun off the way. ”

Redbeard said to Calvin as he shook the hand he had been holding tightly to show Calvin.

Where there is an instant detonation button.

Of course, Calvin had no suspicion that Redbeard was probably hiding some other detonating device.

Reddeer's pupils narrowed slightly at the sight of the bombs, but Calvin stopped him before he could make a move.

"Come back, Red Deer. ”

Red Deer narrowed his eyes, and he naturally lowered his gun, and then returned to Calvin's side tamely.

"You have a good boyfriend. ”

Redbeard observed Calvin's interaction with the Red Deer, and he sighed, "It's a little sorry for me, after all, we're going to die here together today." ”

"But before you detonate that bomb and die with me, the alleged culprit...... Tell me all the truth, right?"

Calvin picked up Redbeard's words.

Redbeard nodded at him, "Yes, of course, although sometimes I think that perhaps dying in ignorance is the most merciful thing for you...... That's what I was going to do......"

The old man said softly.

Calvin noticed that there was actually something wrong with his eyes, Redbeard was completely immersed in his own world like a brainwashed fanatic, but at the same time he seemed extremely depressed and hopeless, as if his faith in life had been completely shattered.

This would explain why he would make such a desperate ambush during the day.

Red Deer held Calvin's hand seemingly casually, and he silently pressed Calvin's palm, and Calvin knew that the man next to him had a way to lead the two of them to escape in the bomb.

But for Calvin now, the most important thing is to find the truth of everything from Redbeard - Calvin has the intuition that the old man in front of him can give him the answer.

"You and your father have both been involved in human trials related to me before, right?"

Calvin recounted the fragments he had seen in Joshua's memory.

Redbeard's face is slightly distorted.

"You really know, I know that there is no way to hide this kind of thing...... Yes, that idiot and I were both in that damn experiment...... The government discovered the abilities of monsters like you, and they thought they could create some biological weapon through you, but the test subject quickly escaped. Oh, by the way, that test subject, physiologically, is your father......"

Redbeard seemed to be about to be completely destroyed by a thick sense of disgust and fear when he spoke of the past.

"We didn't know at the time that you had appeared in the belly of a slutty woman, but that didn't stop us from sensing that something was wrong. The subject can control the human mind, and ...... And he proclaimed himself an angel of destruction given by God to mankind...... He called himself ...... Apocalypse ...... Some believe him, while others think he's just peeking into the concept of religion in the researcher's mind, and using it to slap those of us who hold him back. Anyway, he succeeded, and more and more people died. Holden and I decided to run away, we planned for a long time, and then, we succeeded. Holden left first, then I ......"

Redbeard's voice gradually lowered.

"Just when we thought it was a thing of the past, you showed up. A deformed child, an angel. ”

"However, are you just an ordinary deformity, or are you a true angel of the apocalypse, as your previous body said...... We always thought you were going to be killed by the government's bunch of people, but they let you get away with it. God, and then you showed up in front of Holden's door like that. I don't know how you used to control Holden, and you made my friends see you as a divine revelation...... You leave neither of us with a way to kill you......"

Calvin's lips trembled, and a vicious flame erupted in his heart.

He wanted to shout, at least in childhood he never discovered his special abilities, and he never controlled anyone.

Dr. Holden ultimately decided to raise Calvin because of his inherent kindness and compassion.

But Calvin was silent at Redbeard's apparently half-mad gaze.

In the ruined bar, only the hoarse whisper of Redbeard.

“…… Even I was convinced that I thought you were just an ordinary, weird child. After the government's overt experiments were disbanded, a brand new, unofficially recognized research team was formed, and in that institute, your clone was born. Poof, how naïve I was at the time...... I thought you couldn't have been cloned if you really were that kind of sacred thing. Look, that's the first mistake I made. ”

"My severed wings ......"

"I took your wings, and managed to give them to the dark thread that I was still on the research team. Redbeard shuddered, "Second mistake. ”

He gasped heavily.

"And the fatal mistake. They didn't tell me what your wings represented, and I unleashed the doomsday that God had given to mankind with my own hands......"
