The day I was discharged from the hospital was a busy day. Ji Haihong first went to Kudo's house for a meeting with Dr. Asasa, and then went to Dr. Asasa's house to comfort Ashara, and by the way, he cooked and cleaned. When he returned to the villa, the sun was listlessly showing half of his face in the sky.

Standing outside the gate, Ji Haihong looked at the sun attentively, then opened the door and walked in.

Xiaobai hurriedly ran towards him, making a whining sound from his mouth. I haven't seen it for seven days, it's all Sister Xiaolan taking care of it. can't see the owner, even if Xiaolan comes to take care of it every day, Xiaobai is very anxious.

"I'm sorry, Shiro." Holding Xiaobai and holding him in his arms, Ji Haihong looked at the dark villa, feeling infinitely melancholy.

From four years of mercenaries until now, unconsciously, they have come to this point. Looking back on the past, it is thrilling, interesting, and so reluctant.

Open the door of the entrance and walk into the living room with Xiaobai in his arms. The lights come on and drive away the gloom of darkness. But in the light of the light, the living room seemed empty, missing something.

Eat. The fridge was stocked with fast food and self-heating food, as well as some ingredients. Too lazy to make such trouble, take out a fast food and a self-heating food, make a bowl of milk and cereal for Xiaobai, and he sat at the table and ate one bite at a time.

After eating a few bites, Ji Haihong suddenly found that something seemed to be missing. What's missing? He remembered as soon as he put his hand on the empty space next to the lunch box. Usually at mealtimes, David always prepares some nuts or diced fruits. Because Ji Haihong eats very quickly, he usually has a bowl of rice and a plate of meat and vegetables. In order to achieve the effect of chewing slowly, David specially prepared these snacks.

Alas, I always feel that this is very troublesome, and once I can't eat it, I am still a little unaccustomed to it.

Coming to the kitchen cupboard, Ji Haihong remembered that the nuts that David bought were in it. The cupboards were a bit high, and he had to bring in chairs for the feet.

Take out a metal box, open the lid, it's empty. The other boxes were also empty, and it seemed that the nuts were all eaten.

What's the matter, Ji Haihong frowned, did this guy David forget to buy it?

"The nuts are finished! David—" Halfway through the shout, his voice stopped abruptly.

There was still the fragrance of nuts in the box, Ji Haihong stared at the outer packaging of the box, and suddenly smashed the window glass hard. The glass shattered and the box twisted and deformed. Xiaobai was startled by the loud noise, for fear that something would happen to the owner, so he hurriedly ran to the kitchen to check the situation.

"Oh,, tsk," looking down at the mess, Ji Haihong said, "Forget it, let's clean it up tomorrow." ”

Dispose of the kitchen waste, Ji Haihong came to the war center. He contacted Ulfrik and told him that Tron was still alive.

Ulfrik was very surprised when he heard this, and Ji Haihong found that he was just surprised, not a little shocked.

"Aren't you nervous?". He couldn't help but ask.

Ulfrick lit an expensive cigar: "Aren't you fucking bullshit, there's nervousness, but we're not what we used to be, either me or you." ”

"Do you know what fear I was facing?" Ji Haihong expressed dissatisfaction with his friend's perfunctory attitude.

Ulfrik snorted: "When I pressed the start button, my hand didn't shake?" ”

"Okay, stop bickering, to put it bluntly, we're both the same coward."

Ulfrik put on an undeniable expression.

"I don't want to be cowardly, so I'm going to discuss with you, after all, you've eaten a few years longer than me, what do you think?"

"David slaughtered Erebos, but in the eyes of others, the credit goes all to you, he will come to you, don't worry, not recently, the CIA has recently been active in the Middle East, and I want to help, there is news that Tron may have left Japan and come to the Middle East, maybe the CIA will be more powerful, and they can be caught in the net."

This expectation is not unreasonable. As the world's most prestigious intelligence agency, the CIA is a master of the clouds, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Perhaps, there is really a character like a sweeping monk or a shopkeeper who pops up and destroys the creation?

"It's best to have the decision in our own hands, and I hope we don't need to remember the fear of being dominated by him again, good night."

Apparently someone has entered the villa. Ji Haihong is not worried, it is the mobile team that picked up David. They cleaned up all the household items related to David and also helped clean the room. When I entered David's bedroom, there was nothing. Clothes, bedding, books, etc., all disappeared.

Eyes on a half-open drawer, these strict mercenaries didn't close the room when they cleaned up?

Opening the drawer, Ji Haihong was stunned. Inside were neatly stacked with boxes of nuts, stuffing the entire drawer. A letter lay quietly on the box, with three words written on it: David Liu.

Sitting on the floor, Xiaobai also sat next to him. When I opened the letter, there was a text left by David in neat and concise letters:

Young Master Ji Haihong:

Or should you be called the god of war? I can't tell that after such a long time together, I am more inclined to speculate about you with a child's mentality. When you told me I was going to fight Erebos, I had a hunch that I might not be able to return. No, I'm not afraid of Erebos, and I'm not unconfident in myself. But war, that's what fucked up. Lately, I've been sleeping late because once I close my eyes, all I can think about is the ending.

To kill, or to be killed, is fate. I don't want to die, I don't want to live up to the expectations that God of War expects of me. I know that you have cultivated me not just to repay the kindness of your boss, you want to help me get revenge. Yes, I will not disappoint you and your dead comrades.

I promise you that I will fight with my life to finish this war, I promise you. When the matter is over, if I die, even if I kill Erebos, young master, when I never exist, because I am not worthy to be your apprentice, and do not tarnish the reputation of the god of war because of me; If I am still alive, young master, you don't have to call me an apprentice, but please allow me to dare to call you Master.

With such a big villa, it's hard to clean it alone, really. It is recommended that the young master allow people he knows to move in and help with cleaning. Also, the nuts in the kitchen are used up, I prepared these nuts in advance, they are all good, please eat them with the main meal, so as to achieve the purpose of chewing slowly.

Your most faithful steward, David.

"Alas......" lay on the ground, and Ji Haihong tried not to let the tears flow. He was reluctant to let David say so chic in front of Ulfrik, purely to pretend to be forced.

David was a good man, a good steward, and a good apprentice. Such a good person should not go back to the hellish battlefield.

Looking back, Ji Haihong suddenly found that the peaceful life he hoped for seemed to be getting farther and farther away. The Black-Cloaked Organization, the Tron, and the dark past were telling him all the time that nothing was over. He wanted to leave these things and live a peaceful and peaceful life. How nice it is to find a suitable job, communicate with more people, go out and walk more, and see this beautiful world.

This is what he wants, but what he is doing now is contrary to his ideals.

Suddenly, Ji Haihong wanted to throw all the work to Conan, a hairy boy who didn't know the height of the sky, and went freely by himself.

But he couldn't, and he had his own fettered in this war.

……

The coupe is still stored in the villa, but with Ji Haihong's age and stature, it is impossible to drive this car.

When he arrives at Dr. Asasa's house, Ashbara is waiting for him here. According to Shuichi Akai, the fewer people who can come, the better, so Dr. Asasa asked Ji Haihong to accompany her and not go by himself.

Ji Haihong gently hugged Gray Yuan and gave her encouragement and support. After a while, a special car to pick them up arrived. After getting into the car, the black car drove to the suburbs.

The destination is not a cemetery, but a small cottage. A certain room in the villa is dressed as a mourning hall, and people, whether they know or don't know each other, are here. Conan, Orchid, and Sonoko are all there. In front of him, Shiro Suzuki is in good condition, and in the entire Suzuki Foundation, only he knows the ins and outs of the matter, as well as part of the truth about Eli Lianye.

He didn't blame Elilianye, but felt very sorry. So I specially instructed my daughter to respectfully bid farewell to Teacher Ellie.

"Mourning-chan." Xiaolan walked over to Gray Yuan and bent down to hug her. Eri Lianye died to protect the gray plain, and she admired and appreciated it at the same time. Xiaolan knew that in the past few days, Gray Yuan must have felt uncomfortable. I don't know why, my father has been objecting to her contact with Gray Yuan for the past few days. Taking advantage of the time of school, Xiaolan called Gray Yuan. Xiaolan said a lot of things to Gray Yuan, and in order to make Gray Yuan's psychological burden disappear, she said a lot. That day, she missed school for the first time in her life for no reason, just to comfort Gray Yuan.

Like Ji Haihong, Xiaolan didn't say anything. She gently hugged Ashbara and gave her encouragement and support.

The funeral began, with James as the host. praised the life of Arilyn Ye, everyone bowed in mourning and was buried. The whole process is very brief, less than thirty minutes. As short as Elilian's life.

After the funeral, Xiaolan and Yuan Zi were escorted back by the FBI. Conan stayed on the grounds that he had something to discuss with Ji Haihong, and in the end, only James and his party were left here.

It was only then that Gray Yuan realized that there was a strange person nearby.

Conan spoke, "It's already this time, Mr. Akai, are you still worried about anything?" ”

Akai? This surname is indescribably familiar to Gray Yuan.

Uncovering his mask and sunglasses, Shuichi Akai reveals his true face and walks in front of Ashbara.

"The first time we met," he said, "I'm Shuichi Akai, who works at the FBI, goes under the alias Hoshidai in the organization, and is Akemi Miyano's boyfriend." ”
