(Le Mingcheng ~ Remembrance)

My primary school is a private closed school, the week of the beginning of the third grade, the school organized to go to the national defense training, on the morning of the final end, the instructors took us to experience sniper shooting, 10 bullets per person, and finally I got the best score of 10 rounds of all 10 rings, but this score was questioned by the officers who passed by at that time, "hit 10 rounds of 10 rings?, the report is not allowed to be faked". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After hearing the superior's questioning, the instructor who instructed me tried his best to defend me, after all, this is the real result.

At this time, a very temperamental woman walked over, with long red hair, looking like a foreigner, wearing a military coat, with a slender body, looking very charming, "Take it to me" The woman took the report of the shooting results and looked at "Whose results are these?".

The instructor who instructed me pointed at me and said it was this child.

The woman looked at me in the direction of the instructor's finger, and slowly walked towards me, looked up and down, and asked, "Little ghost, is this what you hit?"

I looked at her expressionlessly, thinking that everything was so boring, yes, no, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" It's not strange to hit the ten rings, and several of my classmates have also hit.

"Ha~ha~ha, why do you little devil speak in the same tone as an adult" The woman laughed and took the sniper rifle in the instructor's hand, "It's really not strange to hit ten rings, but it's strange to hit all 10 bullets in a row, do you know why?".

Of course, I know this question that the woman asked me: because the target was 250 yards (about 182.88 meters) from the firing position, we were using a training sniper rifle, and the effective firing distance of this gun was only 200 meters at most. Maybe it's my proud personality that is making trouble, I didn't think too much about it, I thought it should be basic common sense, so I naturally said the reason... But what I didn't expect was that the adults present looked at me in surprise when they heard it, and it turned out that even soldiers who have served in the military for many years may not be able to hit 10 shots.

"Yo~ yes, how do you know that this gun has an effective shooting distance of 200 meters?" the woman asked.

"When the instructor loaded the bullet, I took one and looked at it carefully, the size of the bullet is 9x19mm, and the weight of the gun is about 3.40-3.45kg, from which it can be deduced that the muzzle kinetic energy is 637 joules..." The woman said that there was no need to say any more about these details, she had clearly understood, and now she wanted to know why I was able to hit ten rings in a row, since she didn't want to ask in detail, I didn't need to go into details, at this time I only needed a simple answer, so I said: "The hands of the clock turned, and I felt the breath of the wind in the air (clock = scope, pointer = muzzle, dangling = parabola, wind breath = wind speed)".

After hearing my words, the woman closed her eyes and sneered, "I really can't see that you are a child" and then turned away. At that time, the instructor asked me why I knew so much about guns, and I replied to him, "Actually, I don't know much, but when I was a child, I often accompanied my father to hunt in the mountains in the countryside, and over time I understood it, because my father was a retired soldier."

One day, more than a month after returning to school from the National Defense, I was called to the principal's office. I was amazed for a few seconds when I walked through the door, not only because my father was there, but also because of the red-haired woman I had met on the training ground that day.

"Dad, why are you here?".

"I'm here to talk to you about transferring," Dad didn't say in a joke.

When I first heard the word "transfer", I thought I was going to be expelled from school, but it wasn't until the woman spoke that I understood the reason, this woman's name was Roberta~Hanna (the name of Roberta Hannah), the supreme commander of the Marine Corps of a certain country, and she came to woo me to study at her military school because she felt that I had the qualifications of a soldier.

Everything came so suddenly that I didn't have time to hesitate, but my father meant to let me think about it myself, and he would support me unconditionally no matter what I decided.

When I was struggling, Hannah said a sentence that changed my whole life and made me hesitate to make up my mind, "Le Mingcheng, in fact, you know very well in your own heart that you are not a person who can live an ordinary life, and your thinking is not at the same level in the same age" Because of this sentence, a few weeks later, after completing the withdrawal procedures, I followed Hannah and left my dear motherland.

Before leaving, my father said to me with only one sentence: "Try to survive over there, and pay more attention to everything", at first I did not understand the meaning of my father's words, but when I came to St. Annapura, I finally understood, after all, I was greeted by a city full of sin.

"Are you afraid?" asked Hannah, who was next to me.

"What are you referring to? The environment and order are indeed chaotic, but I am only surprised, not to the point of being afraid."

"It's not... I'm talking about death, are you afraid of death?" Hannah's expression looked a little serious.

"Death.... In my opinion, there is nothing to be afraid of, because death is nothing but a natural manifestation of human beings, and the difference is only in the process and reason for the end of life" I didn't even think about it, and answered Hannah's question directly, perhaps because my thoughts were too naïve.

"yes, I really can't see that you're a child, let's go, I'll take you to the place where you will live in the future" Hannah didn't say anything more, just smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth.

After a short journey, we came to a large manor, and when we looked closely, it turned out to be a church, and I asked Hannah if you were going to come to the church to pray? Hannah said no, and then told me that this church manor was my future school, and she was my teacher, and she told me that she would teach me all the skills and necessary knowledge for a few years, and then bring me into the army.

It turned out that the so-called school did not exist at all, and I came here only to receive personal training and teaching from Hannah. Now that I think about my father's words, I realize that my father knew about the place of St. Annapura, and knew more clearly that the so-called school did not exist at all, but he did not stop me from leaving at that time.

Hannah looked at me without saying a word and said solemnly: "I want to make it clear in advance, you will have to pray to God every day after you enter this door... Forgive yourself on days, you should be able to understand what I mean, if you are worried that you will regret it in the future, it is too late to leave now".

Regret??Seriously, maybe it's because I'm young, I really don't know what regret feels like, and I'd like to try to see if there really is something that I regret so much, so I replied to Hannah's" There's no need to say this anymore, if I'm really afraid that I'll regret it in the future, I won't follow you here, I never thought in my heart that I would regret it, the road is my own choice, no matter what I will encounter in the future, I must bear the present well, this is what my father has been teaching me since I was a child, let's go... Sister Hannah, lead me slowly to the battlefield full of killings."

"Hmph~ people are big ghosts" Hannah led me into the door of the church.

...

For the next few years, as Hannah said, I continued to train, learn various languages, assassinations, fights, shootings, etc., and slowly I believed that justice in this world would come one day... I am justice.

I thought there would be a lot of people studying and training together, but in fact there was only one little girl, and that person was Erin, full name: Helena~Erin, who looked a year younger than me, was the granddaughter of a church priest, and she was petite and weak in appearance, and she was very hard and serious in everything she did. She and I lived together in a newly built log cabin on the church grounds, and we had a pretty good relationship, often playing together, and after a long time, we felt like brothers and sisters.

...

The day was the same as usual, we got up early in the morning and went to the square in front of the church to wait for Hannah to come over to guide the training, the difference is that now I am 13 years old, time flies so fast, I have been here for 5 years unconsciously, during which I have not been home once, but from time to time I have spoken with my father on the phone.

Hannah walked out of the church, and the first thing she did when she got up in the morning was to come to the church and pray, "You don't have to train today, just rest for the day."

"Is there such a good thing?" I looked at each other, not because we didn't believe Hannah's words, but because she was such a person, except for the normal rest time, whether it was windy, rainy, or icy, we never got any extra rest time from her, she was a very strict person.

"Cut~, Mingcheng, your intuition is still as sharp as ever" Hannah picked up a cigarette and lit it and smoked it, "You're right, such a good thing has never happened to you, but it's true, I give you a day off today, of course, there is a reason, from tomorrow, you leave the church and go to live in the old city."

Erin and I were stupid to hear Hannah say that, because Hannah had always told us that the Old Town was a dangerous place and that we were not allowed to leave the church, but now she was leaving the two of us to live alone in the Old Town, and we really couldn't understand the purpose of doing this, and she said this to us just as I was about to ask Hannah.

"I didn't let you go to the Old Town because you were still young, and you weren't mature enough in all aspects, whether it was survival skills or social experience, you were too young... It's just a kid and you can't tell the difference between good and bad, but now that you've grown up after so many years of training, it's time to go outside and live independently."

"Do you mean that Irene, and I will live in the Old Town from now on, until when?"

"3 years, if you are still alive in 3 years, then you can go back to church again, and then I will take you to your own different future" Hannah took out 400 US dollars from her pocket, came to us, and gave me and Erin 200 "This is the money I gave you, it's up to you how you want to use it, you can leave by yourself early tomorrow morning, I have arranged a place for you to live, in Laputa~, next to the city square." hotel (Sky Castle Hotel) will be free of all accommodation, utilities for 3 years."

"What if we die within the deadline you give?" Irene finally couldn't help but ask the question we were most concerned about.

Hannah put her hand on our heads, "You two were brought up by me, you are warriors created by me as a war maniac, I believe that you, no matter what the circumstances, as long as the two of you can take care of each other and help each other, you will definitely be able to complete this difficult task" After saying that, Hannah took her hand away, turned away, and walked a short distance back and said the last sentence "Remember, try to survive, because you two are my disciples of Roberta Hannah" In this way, with the last sentence, Hannah slowly left and disappeared from our field of vision.

Early the next morning, we packed our bags and came to the gate of the church, looking at this place where we have lived for many years, we must have felt a little emotional and reluctant.

"Narukoto, are we really going to leave here?" Erin had been restless and hadn't slept for almost the whole night, no wonder, after all, the road ahead was an unknown future.

"You know Hannah's character, since she let us leave, even if we don't want to go, she will forcibly kick us out" Although I seem calm on the surface, I am also very uneasy in my heart, but I can't show it, because if we are both confused, then what should we do in the future?" "Erin, don't worry, my brother will take care of you, we will definitely survive and return to our cabin again."

Erin looked at me and whispered, "Really, are we really confident that we can live in that kind of place and survive?".

"Well, as long as we believe in our hearts that we can do it, we can definitely do it" Although I say so, but I don't think so in my heart, in fact, I don't have any confidence at all, "Okay, let's go, let's start another completely different life".

After all... We held hands, picked up our bags, and walked towards the old town, full of sin and murder, leaving the church where we had lived for five years.
