The waters of the Pacific Ocean, ten years ago.

The ship was burning, and in the flames you could faintly hear the cries of people and the sound of gunfire, and on the smoke-covered deck, Val looked anxiously searching back and forth for something.

Where, where are you?Val felt like he was going mad, don't let anything happen! I'm coming, I'm going to find you!

"Captain Vaal. One soldier looked at Val a little bewildered and said, "The remaining enemies are all hiding in the captain's quarters, according to intelligence, they still have hostages, we don't know what they want to do, whether to attack or not?"

Val's heart was immediately grasped by the word, and he almost roared and shouted, "Do you mean they still have hostages in their hands now? Tell me if I have found out who the hostages are!"

"We have detailed information here. The soldier was frightened, "They still have at least a dozen hostages in their hands, and all their names are here now." ”

Val grabbed the information in his hand as he flipped through the information in his hand, and when he saw the names of the two men, his expression froze for a moment.

They were still alive, and Val was secretly relieved in his heart. But the bad news now is that they've become hostages of the gang that calls themselves members of the Sword of Damocles, and now he has to take someone to free them.

"Call a group of people down with me at once. Without the slightest hesitation, Val gave the order, "It must be fast, and all the hostages must be freed in the shortest possible time!"

The rescue force was quickly assembled, and Val immediately led the force into the cabin.

"Looks like they're ready to break in. A man looked at the monitor and said to his companion next to him, "Frosson, what should we do next?"

"What else do you say, Aika?" the man named Frosson sliced the apple with his knife without paying any attention, "We are the sword of Damocles, and from the moment we decide to join, there is only one way forward." ”

"Didn't you expect us to go down the same path as the leader?" said with a laugh, "and this will be the final battle of the Sword of Damocles." ”

"It's enough. "We're not afraid of death anymore, let's see how many people we can take to hell in this last battle." ”

"Definitely no less. Aika glanced at the dozen hostages huddled in a corner of the captain's room and said, "Looks like you've made up your mind to use that, and I agree with your decision." ”

"Then wait slowly. Fromson gulped down the freshly peeled apple, "Let's take one last look at the sea, we don't have much time left." ”

The captain didn't turn on the lights in the room, but the firelight from the outside illuminated the room through the windows, and through this light it was faintly visible that a cylindrical object with an eerie purple light was placed on the table behind the two of them.

"Mom, will we be all right?" asked a little girl who looked to be no more than seven or eight years old, looking up at the woman who was hugging her tightly.

"It'll be fine, Léa. The woman looked at her daughter's bright and clear eyes and said, "Daddy will definitely come to save us, and he will definitely protect us at all times!"

"What a lovely kid. Aika suddenly crouched down and looked at Leia and said, "What a pity, I'm afraid you'll all have to stay here forever today." ”

"Demons like you can never win!" said the woman, looking at Aika with stubborn eyes, "because you are evil, and evil can never overcome good!"

"What an interesting woman. Hearing this, Frosson burst out laughing, "Let me know your name before you die." ”

"Jenny Scarr. The woman replied without fear, "Even a weak woman like me does not believe that you will win, that you are doomed, demons!"

"But you can't escape!" said Frothern with a twisted expression, "I really want to praise you for your bravery, even in the face of death?"

"At least I have no fear in the face of you demons. "If you still have even the slightest conscience, you should now renounce your evil deeds and surrender!"

"She's even starting to persuade us, Aika!" Frosson laughed at Aika, "It's funny, she still wants us to surrender, I've never seen anyone so fearless." ”

"Don't laugh at Mommy!" Leia shouted angrily, "Mommy said that Daddy will definitely come to save us, and villains like you will definitely be defeated by Daddy!"

"It's like this for the whole family. Aika snorted contemptuously, "I really want to know who your father is now, and it would be nice if I could see her again." ”

Vaal, there's a real chance we'll die here today. Jenny thought to herself, if something really happens to us, please don't be sad, because we love you until the end.

"Listen to me, the people inside, you have no way to escape now, now disarm and surrender, as long as you disarm, we can guarantee your safety. Suddenly there was a voice outside the door.

Janie immediately recognized who it was, and she couldn't help but cry, the man she had been missing was now outside the door.

"And what happens after we surrender?" asked Frosson in a nonchalant tone.

"You will receive the most just trial. "Don't resist any longer, you won't win, you won't last long if we attack." ”

"Then you can come in and talk to us. Frosson smiled sinisterly, "Looks like you're their leader, so it's up to you to talk to us." ”

"Okay, I'll come!" Val agreed without hesitation.

"Open the door, Aika. Frosson deliberately shouted, "If they do it, we'll just kill all the hostages, they won't have time to kill these people." ”

Aika walked over to the door and unscrewed the handle, making sure Val was unarmed before letting him in.

"Daddy!" Léa suddenly shouted as Val saw him, and Val saw his wife and daughter in an instant.

Frosson and Aika were stunned for a moment, then turned to look at each other and smiled, they didn't expect today's events to be so coincidental.

"It's amazing. Frosson laughed, "I didn't expect you to meet father and daughter here!I know who you are, because I've seen your picture, you're Val Bayano, right?"

"I am indeed him. Val said with a grim face, "I'm here to talk to you about surrender, and nothing else." ”

"It's a bit ruthless. Ekar looked at Val and said, "Is this what you're aware of as a witcher? ”

"He's just doing what he's supposed to do!" shouted Jenny, "I'm so proud of my husband, a demon like you doesn't deserve to be compared to him!"

"Shut up!" Frosson yelled at Janine with his hand, "there's no place for you to talk here, we have something to talk to your husband about now." ”

"I've heard that witcher marriages are kept in the utmost secrecy. Aika said around Val, "The marriage partner must not reveal his identity, but it is really pitiful, can he only keep it hidden like this when he is truly in love?"

"It's my duty. Val said in as calm a tone as he could, "If this kind of thing holds us back from fighting, then we don't deserve to be witchers at all!"

"Then you must be strong, right?" Aika continued, "After all, we've all heard your name, so let's see what you're capable of now." ”

"I'm here to talk about the propriety of your surrender. Val looked at Aika and said, "Shouldn't there be any other meaningless things, or are you not planning to surrender at all?"

"What do you say?" Ekar attacked Val in an instant, and Val was clearly prepared, fending off Aka's oncoming fist almost at the same moment.

"Good skills. Aika laughed, "Have some more fun with me, and don't act rashly, because your wife and daughter may die." ”

"Janie!Léa!" Val turned his head to see Frosson hold the gun to Janie's head, and he was caught by Aika and knocked to the ground.

"Val!" Janine cried out worriedly.

"Look at it, woman. Frosson pressed the gun tighter, "You're all going to die here today, and the family is reunited, and you see something over there, and you're going to hell with the explosion!"

Is that a bomb? Jenny looked at the cylindrical object on the table and was shocked, then they had no intention of surrendering in the first place, they actually wanted to drag the rest of the people on the ship with them!

"Today is the day of purification!" said Ekka, looking at Val as he rose from the ground, "All sinful humans will be purified by the flames, this is our Sword of Damocles ideal!"

"What kind of ideal is the destruction of humanity?" cried Val, "you have gone mad, mad completely!"

"Hahaha!" laughed Aika, "yes, we're crazy, but these madmen are humans too! Who are your enemies? Vaal, your enemies are the humans you've been trying so hard to protect!"

"Now you're going to die!" Frosson reached for his other hand to the cylindrical device on the table, and just as he was about to flip the switch, Jenny broke free of his restraints in an instant and knocked Frosson to the side.

"Hurry up, Val!" shouted Jainne, "they want to blow up the whole ship, now hurry up!"

"What are you talking about?, Janie!" Val realized in an instant that he had fallen into their trap from the beginning.

"None of you can leave!" Aika pulled out her gun from behind and pointed it at Val in front of her, but Rhea suddenly burst out of the way and bit his gun-wielding hand.

"Little ghost!" Aika dropped the gun in her hand to the ground because of the pain of this moment, and then pushed Leia aside with a direct flick of her hand.

"I will never let you hurt Daddy!" said Leia in a young but firm voice, "I want to protect Daddy today!"

"It's all over!" Frosson got up from the ground and pressed the button, "You all go to the funeral with us!"

Almost as soon as he pressed the button, Janine pushed Val against the window with the last of her strength, shattering the glass with great force, and the last thing Val saw was the last smile his wife and daughter had left him.

No!Val roared in pain, don't just leave me, Janine!Léa, haven't I been able to protect you in the end!?

You must live in peace, Vaal. Janine finally looked at Val's face and thought, even in another world, we will always love you!

The flames engulfed the ship in an instant, and the force of the explosion knocked Val unconscious, and he fell into the sea unconscious.
