Prologue, the return of the protagonist
【04:00】
Blurred vision.
Probably because during sleep, the body is trying its best to repair the wound, similar to the dizziness of malnutrition.
You Chensi opened his eyes, and the dim light made him understand that he was either in a dark place now, or at night.
Except for the broken arm, the body is intact.
In all the organs of the body, the lungs were seriously injured.
Take a deep breath and try to see how much free space you have left in your lungs. As a result, I choked on blood when I inhaled and my throat itched terribly.
"Ahem, ahem!!"
Coughing violently, dark red blood foam splattering everywhere.
I see, it's almost broken.
You Chensi had the impression that he should have been shot when he was escaping.
Is it magic?
There was no skin injury, but by disturbing the Qiyao vein, he made his physical skills disordered. If the lungs are the most injured due to airflow, then it should be the wind-based spear.
Miscalculated. There is actually that level of help.
It's not too bad, though. At least I escaped.
Sniffing the air around him carefully, You Chensi casually said his feelings: "Ahem...... In a girl's room, you should put something that smells, right? ”
"I'm sorry, but I only smell of engine oil."
Noelle sat with his back to Yu Tatsumi without looking back, fiddling with something on the table. Probably weapons. The sound of the parts of Kalakala and the smell of the engine oil used for maintenance parts can't help but remind Yu Tatsumi of the scene where he confessed to Noelle.
It was similar back then.
"What time is it?"
"Four o'clock in the morning."
"Really...... It's still too late...... Probably. ”
"Actually...... From the beginning, you were ready to die, right? ”
Suddenly, such a sentence came out of nowhere.
Yu Tatsumi thought for at least three minutes before she realized that she was talking about the Black Auction.
"Hmm. Prepare to cheat to death. ”
"That ......"
The sound of parts kala clama stopped. Noelle turned her head, the dim light on the table behind her, revealing a reddish-brown outline.
"Why don't you tell us?"
"Hah...... Hahahaha, cough cough cough ......"
You suddenly laughed, feeling that he was being ridiculed, Noelle pouted dissatisfiedly, and asked fiercely: "What are you laughing at!" ”
"You won't ...... Ahem, think I'm because I don't trust you...... Ahem......"
"No, no!"
"Because, of course...... There's a mole. ”
"What?!"
"Noelle, help me find some medicine, I'm going to have emergency treatment...... Ahem, at least, get back to the point where you can talk casually. ”
"Hmm...... It's just that I still have this permission. ”
【06:00】
What brought Lloyd Bannings to his senses was the early morning sun.
After being attacked by Rui last night, Lloyd fell asleep. The reason is that Rui has applied a medicinal powder to his blade that makes his body lose strength quickly. As the killer's assistant, Rui is very aware of these methods that can be said to be indiscriminate.
When Randy found out, he immediately helped him clean his wounds, but some of the medicine still seeped into his body, and as a result, it was only now that Lloyd woke up slightly.
"Lloyd, how's it going? You okay?! ”
As soon as I opened my eyes, I immediately heard a gentle voice, full of eagerness and concern for myself.
Ay...... Who is it?
The sight has not fully recovered, and I can only vaguely distinguish that it is a woman.
"Sister?"
"Ah...... Well...... We're two years old......"
She was joking, but her eyebrows were furrowed with trouble.
"Sorry...... Ellie. I was a little dizzy just now. ”
While apologizing, Lloyd propped himself up.
"Well, I thought I said yesterday...... Need an urgent meeting? ”
"Hmm. But when the two of us came over, you fell asleep. Good thing Randy says you're just asleep, and there's a loss of power on the knife - why the hell are you being attacked? ”
"Ellie, call everyone over. Urgent, very urgent thing! Fast! ”
"Huh? Oh, I see! I'll go! ”
Hearing the smell of urgency in his words, Ellie ran away in a panic.
Lloyd looked at the watch on the wall, where the hour and minute hands were clamped in a straight line of 180°.
Is it six o'clock...... Oops...... What a waste of time...... Is it too late......
I'm sorry, Youjun, obviously you gave me a clue, but I'm still delayed until now......
【06:15】
Garrison, in the office of Deputy Commander Sonya.
You Chensi stood straight, as if the wound on his body was completely out of the way.
Across from him, Deputy Commander Sonia's expression became more and more solemn.
"You're saying that in the medical university, Associate Professor Joachim is behind the scenes?"
After listening to Yutatsumi's narration for about thirty minutes, Sonia repeated the conclusion noncommittally.
"Yes."
"What about the evidence?"
"Nope."
Both sides were categorically affirmative, and when they heard You Chensi seriously say that he had no evidence, Noelle, who was listening, was almost mad.
Is there anyone as convincing as you?
It's like when you buy something, and a customer asks, "What's good about this product?" As a result, I got the answer "nothing is good". Hey, who's going to buy it!
"Then I'm sorry, I can't agree with what you say."
"Yes. Actually, I don't need your consent. Deputy Commander. ”
"That's right."
Sonia smiled. There was some embarrassment in the smile.
On the one hand, Yu Tatsumi is a police officer and Sonia is a military officer, and the two sides are not in the same organization, so Sonia does not affirm Yu Tatsumi's power to act.
On the other hand......
Sonya's "deputy" commander means that above her, there is also a "commander-in-chief".
In the style of that commander, if the lobbying is true, then the probability that the commander did not receive a bribe is almost zero. Sonia could already think of what he would do if she gave him hard evidence.
It is likely that while confirming the reliability of the evidence, it will delay time. When other tasks came, I forgot about it.
Therefore, Yu Tatsumi's dialogue did not come with the reason that Sonia could help from the beginning.
But......
"You mean, you want me personally to understand the whole story, right?"
"Yes. Worthy of Deputy Commander Sonya. ”
"It's no good to praise me."
"No, I think it's important to have a good relationship with my future wife's boss."
"Who! Who are you talking about? ”
The absurd topic that was suddenly inserted made Noelle furious, and his face turned red and he raised his hand to fight, but then he didn't do it because he thought of the injuries on his body.
"I'll spare you this time, I'll teach you a lesson when you're better!"
Seeing the two of them playing with ease, Sonia couldn't help but smile. To be honest, such a Noelle is much more interesting than the female soldier who could only say yes indifferently to the commander before.
"But before I get into that, let me ask about a topic that interests me."
"No problem."
Seeing that You Chensi was full of promises, Sonia nodded slightly.
"Noelle just mentioned that you have been hit hard in your lungs, making it difficult to speak when you are awake. You came here after an emergency response. So, I may I ask, what exactly did you do about it? I don't think there's anything here that can heal that kind of wound. ”
“……”
I don't know why, when this topic was mentioned, Noelle's face suddenly turned red.
"Can, can you not answer ......"
I don't know why, it's not You Tatsumi, but Noelle asking Sonia not to ask in detail.
This only strengthened Sonya's curiosity.
"No, I'm just curious. It's okay if you don't want to say it. ”
"Actually, it's a tampon."
"Hey! If you say it, don't say it! ”
As a result, Noelle still couldn't resist giving him a hard blow to the back of the head.
Tampons?
Don't......
"Well, because there is always blood in the lungs, I stuff the tampons that are absorbent into the lungs."
You Chensi said seriously, and Noelle next to him looked like he had nothing to love, muttering Forget it, whatever you want.
"Poof...... Hahaha...... You're always bringing me joy. All right. Tell me more about it. About, the truth you have. ”
