Volume 1: Shadow Rise Chapter 25: Fate

"Now it's a big deal, are you going to dump all the responsibility on me as the commander-in-chief?" As soon as Shore entered the conference room, he heard Val Bayano, the chief defense commander of the BPRD headquarters, complaining loudly to Commander-in-Chief Rajer.

"You'd better learn to respect first, Chief Val Bayano. He said angrily.

Val only then realized that someone was coming, and he turned his head to look and sneered: "Which big man should I be, it turned out to be Captain Shore Robert, but I'm really tired of you coming." ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, Val. Rajer grimly reminded, "We both belong to the BPRD, and we both fight for humanity, so it's really rude for you to insinuate your comrades." ”

"It's okay, I'm sure Chief Vaal doesn't have too much malice. Shore pursed his lips.

Vaal's facial muscles twitched twice, then he picked a random chair and sat down. Xiao Er didn't continue to pay attention to his cold words just now, and also dragged the nearest chair next to him and sat down.

"Tell Captain Shore a little bit about the situation. Rajer gestured with his hand at Val.

"Well, I talked to this guy for the sake of your face, Commander-in-Chief. Rajer's expression was still as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly. "At the bottom of the headquarters, there is a coroner missing, and according to our investigation, he should be conducting an autopsy at the time, along with the body that should have been autopsied. ”

"Corpses don't walk on their own, Chief Val. "Unless the coroner stole the body and disguised himself as missing." ”

"Hmph, is it?" said Val contemptuously, "if I told you that the missing body was Kane Mait, would you continue to insist on that idea?"

Shorel felt a buzz in his head, and the words of the dead Thomas Wayne rang in his ears again: "You will one day fight your closest brother, Shore Robert, this is your fate." He stood up from his chair, and could clearly feel beads of sweat oozing from his palms.

"I understand what you're trying to say, you mean I sent someone to steal the body and wipe out the coroner. Shore said, staring at Val.

Val straightened his collar, then stood up and made an innocent gesture: "I didn't mean that, Captain Shore, I just said it was possible, you have to understand that in this situation we have to be on guard." ”

"But guarding is not for you to be wary of our own people. "Shore is in contention. "I can guarantee that I have never done such a thing, I and my team are all warriors, is it too much for you to slander the glory of warriors like this?"

Val touched his chin with his hand: "Then how do you explain that the data of the battle in St. Peter's Basilica was completely lost, it is kept with you, and your so-called traitor Thomas Wayne is also dead without explanation, you must give us a reasonable explanation." ”

I see, has everything been calculated? It seems that everything is aimed at me, Shore thought to himself without saying a word. "I think I've already explained this in the report that came back. "It was Bolton Lagus who turned his back on us, he took all our data, he destroyed all the backups, and he was the one who killed Thomas Wayne." ”

"Smack, smack, smack," Val clapped his hands with a smile that made Shore want to vomit, "It's a wonderful move, isn't it? Splash all the dirty water on the wild hunt, so that you are not at fault, and you can even push the blame away." But don't forget, Wild Hunters also have Wild Hunters, they don't act until they get an order, do you mean you want us to point the finger at Wild Hunt?"

"I didn't mean to. Shore felt that he could now strangle the bastard in front of him who only knew nonsense. "I'm just stating the facts, and if you don't believe me, there's no way for me to appeal. ”

"Then you're acquiescing, so-"

"Enough. Rajel snapped off what Val was about to say. "I think you're too tired today, Commander Val Bayano, so you'd better go and get some rest first. ”

"But Commander. Val looked reluctant and ready to retort.

"I think I'll judge the facts myself. Rajer held up his hand and motioned for him not to say more. "I'll leave the rest to me, you must have been too busy these days, so hurry back and rest." ”

Val's appearance of wanting to say something made Shore want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, but when he finally walked out of the conference room with that long, stinky face, Shore couldn't hold back and laughed.

"Are you embarrassed to laugh?" Rajer's face did not soften in the slightest. "How did I tell you in the first place, tell you to be careful in everything, and look at the cue you poked me out now. ”

Shore tilted his mouth to the side: "If you blame me completely, then it won't work, Commander Rajer. You knew about Bolton Rags, he was a Wild Hunter before I did, but you still put him on my team, so you can't blame me, right?"

Rajer sighed: "I am indeed responsible for this matter, but this is also the meaning of the above, they feel that it is very unwise to concentrate all the elites on you, so sending out a wild hunt can not only effectively monitor your actions, but also really increase your combat power." ”

"But apparently only the first thing was done, wasn't it?" Shore snorted, "That guy has been following a plan since the first day he joined us, and I don't believe the above will know that." ”

"I'll talk to you about this later, but the most important thing now is that Kane Mait's body is missing, and based on the report you sent, I have reason to suspect that this is a hellish conspiracy. ”

Shore's smile faded away, and an indescribable desolation and sadness surged over him: "Ah, if I would fight Kane according to what that traitor said, although I didn't believe it at the time, but now it seems that maybe what he said is not all false." ”

"Do you have any doubts in mind?" Rajer walked up to Shore. "Do you know what it means to go to battle with questions?"

"I understand that if you doubt it, you will lose, I don't doubt my heart, if that guy has really fallen into darkness, I will definitely end him with my own hands. ”

"Some things are much more difficult to do than to say, you have to understand that your opponent is someone who used to be like a brother, he knows you, he knows your moves, he knows your inner thoughts, and fighting with such an opponent is undoubtedly the most dangerous. ”

Shore smiled bitterly: "Maybe this is my fate, I must face the nightmare in my heart, I must kill the most precious person to me with my own hands, but escaping will not solve the problem, I must face it, I must muster up the courage to fight against the established fate." ”

"Are you really ready?"

"I've been preparing for it. Shore finally smiled again, "Declaring war on fate sounds like a great thing, I will defeat the so-called fate, as a human being, I will never lose!"
