After a series of blows, the organization began to shrink in size and hide in the shadows. It's normal, and they have to pay for what they've done before. Whether it is the burning of a hotel or the poisoning of a restaurant, or the crossfire at Tokyo Tower or the explosion of the Suzuki Foundation, the consequences of these actions are beyond the reach of a criminal organization.

When these people who are hidden in the darkness are fanfare, they are also destined to be exposed to the eyes of others.

"Congratulations on your successful escape from the despicable people who stood in our way, unfortunately the vodka has left us forever," Tron's expression was very sad, "As an organization leader, he dedicates everything to the organization, he is the most loyal member of the organization, may he rest in hell." ”

Gin's expression was as cold as ever. Vodka, the henchman who grew up with him since childhood, died, like a dead dog. Kiel even wonders if Gin has any human emotions at all.

Chianti and Cohen still mourn for vodka, and the loss of a reliable partner is something that no one wants to see.

Belmode held a cigarette in his hand, and the smoke rose in a curling manner, changing into nothingness. She was thinking about something, and she seemed to be in a daze.

"In view of the current situation, in order to improve your combat ability, I took the initiative to propose to Mr. to select outstanding talents from various departments of the organization for special training, as you all know, I have cultivated two aces in the mercenary world, their code names and influence, you should deeply understand, Cohen."

Cohen respectfully stood up and replied, "Yes." ”

"I have already drawn a lot of elites from other departments, and they have been assembled and on standby, this training, count you in."

Chianti, who was ignored, was extremely angry: "Why not me, am I not a qualified sniper!" ”

This training, no one knows where. Chianti was so impulsive that he was still worried that Cohen would suddenly disappear. She was not used to not having this partner by her side.

"You're not, it's for your own good, neither training nor tasks can be done by a living person."

"Take her," said the reticent Cohen, "take her." ”

Tron quickly agreed: "Yes, if there is nothing to do, the meeting will be dismissed." ”

……

Chianti and Cohen quickly disappeared from view, and they went to the "training" that sounded like corporate learning. Belmode had to manage the organization's affairs in the United States, which was safer than Japan.

Gin drove Kiel. It was the first time she had seen Gin driving, and it was also the first time she had sat in a car driven by Gin.

Kiel didn't know where she was going, Gin only told her to follow her, nothing else.

Came to the countryside, a village of some size. Gin stops in front of a noodle shop, and the two come to a small house behind the noodle shop.

In the courtyard, an old woman who is stronger than vodka sits on a chair, as if basking in the sun.

Gin walked up to the old woman and knelt on the ground with a "poof".

"Mom, I'm sorry." He said.

Kir was stunned, Gin knelt down, she didn't dare not kneel. But Gin calls this lady "Mom"? He's an orphan!

The old woman put down the fan in her hand, and she squatted on Gin's shoulder: "Child, Jean, don't be like this, Mr. came to see me yesterday, and he told me about it." ”

"Mom, I didn't take good care of him."

Kir couldn't see Gin's expression, but it was too bitter. When I heard the sound of gin, I didn't feel depressed or self-blame, but it was bitter. A bitter taste permeated her mouth, a hundred times bitterer than drinking Chinese medicine.

"To be a man, you have to preach morality, I heard Mr. say, he was kidnapped by a villain who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but he did not resist, I know that my son, with his skills, can resist successfully, Mr. said, he is to leave more time for you, for the brother to stick to the ribs, he is sticking to morality until death, he is my good son."

Hearing this, Kiel finally understood. This scrappy old woman turned out to be the mother of vodka. Since Gin and Vodka are brothers, it's only fitting to call them Mommy.

"You're Kiel." The old woman said.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Sir, you saw it when my son died."

"Yes, ma'am, vodka ta...... Very heroic. In front of the old woman, Kir did not dare to have the slightest thought of slacking off.

The old woman nodded with satisfaction: "Well, since you're here, let's have a meal." ”

"Mom, I'm here to help." Gin said.

It's hard to imagine that in the modern age of electrification, there are still people who can cook with firewood. Noodle shops are not open, which is not normal for villages and towns. From time to time, neighbors would come to visit the old woman and ask what had happened.

It is hard to imagine that neither the old man nor the three-year-old child are afraid of this meaty old woman who is engaged in slaughtering and opening a noodle restaurant, but regards her as his own family. The old woman said that it was inconvenient to open the business on the grounds that she was not feeling well. When some neighbors heard about this, they asked their children to bring some fruits and vegetables.

Some children want to do chores for the old woman, and when they hear that someone has come to help, they choose not to make a mess.

"Isn't it strange that people who do our business and have a relationship with us should be treated like this." Gin, who was chopping wood in the yard, suddenly said.

Kiel nodded.

"In this place, Mom is the most respected because she is moral, and people are not afraid of people who are moral."

Kiel was impressed: "It's a pity that we are different. ”

"We're the same," Gin affirmed, "our allegiance is to that gentleman, yes, we often kill innocents indiscriminately for things, which to outsiders is horrible, and that's what you see, Kir. ”

Kiel refused: "No, I'm not ......"

"You are, a lot of people, a lot of people who join the organization, they all see it that way, and some people join the organization just to get a huge profit, not to be loyal to the organization and that gentleman."

Gin's point of view is very clear and very direct. Assuming that Kiel is not an undercover agent, it is very likely that she joined the organization for money. Once the organization can't give her enough benefits, she will leave or even sell the organization.

"I don't care what outsiders think, what you think, remember, Kir, it has nothing to do with us, those innocent people, it has nothing to do with us, our purpose is to be loyal to that gentleman, that gentleman is kind to us, and that is enough, as long as we can be loyal to that gentleman, everything we do is moral."

This was Kiel's first exposure to the values of gin. This is more valuable than any intelligence. She disagrees with Gin's values, but she finally knows that even people like Gin have their own feelings and their own sense of responsibility. She never imagined that she would chop wood for an old woman with Gin.

If Gin really was that kind of cold and ruthless person, he wouldn't have come here specifically to apologize.

Different values lead to different behaviors, which can lead to conflict. Gin's values are very small, and he offends the interests of the vast majority of people for his own morality.

So he had to die.

I really didn't expect Gin to cook. The old woman is the chef, and Gin is in charge of the ingredients. He knew these processes by heart, and it was clearly not the first time he had done such a thing.

The old woman said, "Gin and Vodka are filial children, they often come here to help, sometimes the noodle shop is too crowded, and they have to be in charge of the kitchen and the front desk. ”

"Mom, you don't need to talk to her about this kind of thing."

Gin and vodka sell noodles at the noodle shop! It's a beautiful sight, and Kiel can't imagine Gin wearing an apron and overalls at the front desk.

The taste of the noodles was very fragrant, and Kiel, who cared more about his figure, ate two bowls.

Gin ate eight bowls, and even if he couldn't eat it, he had to finish it.

Kiel could see that Gin could only be eaten in two bowls, and the last six bowls were originally vodka.

"Kir," said the old woman, "you are a good boy, and your husband thinks highly of you, and he believes in you, and you have done a great deal for him. ”

"Don't dare, I've only been in the organization for a relatively short time."

"But you keep your morals," said the old woman, "so in a short time you are in a high position, and soon you will be able to meet the gentleman, which is a recognition of you, a supreme honor—you see the little man." ”

Kir hurriedly said, "Woman, I know who the little man who killed the vodka is. ”

"Bring him to me, bring him here."

The old woman was acquainted with the gentleman, as was evident from the gentleman's personal visit to her. If the old woman's wish for revenge is fulfilled, then he will definitely have a higher position in the organization, and he will win the trust of the gentleman - and Kiel suddenly felt a sense of guilt. She found that she actually had such thoughts in front of a mother.

In a way, this idea is even more evil and dirty than the organization's approach.

However, she is Eikai Hondo, a person with another set of values.

……

A colorless liquid from a transparent hose is continuously injected into the glass chamber, and embryos, larvae, and formed individuals of different shapes float in the water. From time to time, blisters erupt from the oxygen supply equipment, and these samples resemble fish in a fish tank.

There are a total of a hundred "fish tanks", which are stored together in the room. There are two recorders next to each "fish tank" who record data from the "fish tank's" information board in real time.

The researchers were busy and orderly, and there were 300 people involved in the experiment. But the only ones who spoke loudly were those supervisors.

"Drug penetration begins, adult specimens begin to be exposed to drugs, 15 ...... 62…… 88…… 95…… 100, drug penetration %100, sample changes, monitoring of various data weight, body temperature, heartbeat...... Data acquisition, start synthesis, sample change significantly, uh...... The sample stops changing and waits for the assay. ”

"Samples A-01 to A-55 are all normal, the goal of 'rejuvenation' is completed, 'rejuvenation' begins, and drug penetration from A-56 to A-100 ...... A-56 to A-100 failed, completely unresponsive. ”

The lady sitting in the middle said, "The 'rejuvenation' test of A-01 through A-55 has begun. ”

"Understood, please refill the potion with the researchers...... After the replenishment is completed, the drug penetration begins...... After the drug penetration is completed, the experimental subjects have changed significantly, and all units should pay attention to recording relevant data...... The experiment is over, it's all working, congratulations, Dr. Miyano. ”

The audience applauded thunderously, and people kept coming forward to congratulate. The only ones who didn't move were the test subjects sleeping in the water.
