The middle-aged woman had sad eyes in her eyes and continued, "Becoming a murderer can be regarded as the price of killing my daughter for my cowardice and hesitation, but I can't muster up the courage to turn herself in when I think of the words that our daughter comforted me before she died, she stretched out her hand to me in a pool of blood that day and said, 'Mom, I don't hurt, don't cry, it's okay if I die, you take care of Dudu for me, it doesn't matter if Dudu dies, you have to live well, go and raise a lot of Dudu, if only I could be like Dudu......." ”

Dudu is a cactus that her daughter has raised for a year, and the child doesn't know why, but when she sees a cactus ball when she passes by, she can't move her feet, and she says that she wants to raise one.

What my daughter didn't finish that day was probably ...... If she could be covered in thorns like a doo, no one would hit her casually.

In the past three years, in addition to exercising herself, she has also raised a lot of cactus balls, which are placed around the flower pots that Dudu is in, like a guard with a sword and a sword, protecting the Dudu that her daughter liked before her death.

When she decided to flee Tokyo and escape from the police investigation, she only took Dudu with her, and sent out the other cactus balls that she had taken care of for three years, and she could protect Dudu in the future.

She raised a lot of cactus, and she couldn't give them to acquaintances, so many 'doodoo', and she didn't want them to be picked up by people who didn't cherish them, so she gave them away for free on the street.

It was last winter, and she set up a free stall on the street near her home, and occasionally a little girl who liked cactus like her daughter would stop by, and occasionally two or three children who came in a group would carefully call her aunt and ask her if she could give them a pot, and she smiled and agreed, just like she had taught her daughter? Teach them how to take care of the cactus.

Have a child also point out a mistake on her part? She also laughed and admitted that she was wrong.

It was really nice to have those kids taking care of the cactus.

In the evening? She still has five pots of cactus balls that she hasn't given away? Two old men were asking if she could get a pot of cactus, and a woman wearing a black wide-brimmed hat, a dark gray scarf covering her face, and a dull brown-black dress came to her at that time.

After the two old men took the cactus balls and left? The woman was still standing in front of the stall.

"Don't you have a favorite?" She asked.

"I want the pot you kept, your daughter left it, right? You're such a good mother......" The woman's face is obscured by a scarf and a hat? made her look and appearance unclear, and her tone was calm, but the words she said pierced her sore spots, "Isn't it? You're not? Otherwise, you wouldn't have let your child die. ”

She didn't know what her expression was at the time, but now that she thought about it, she must have been stunned and stupid.

"I know your daughter, that's a good boy," the woman held out her black-gloved hand? Pick up a pot of cactus balls and seem to be admiring them carefully? "She watered her cactus in the park, told me? If only she could be like Dodo, then she would be able to protect her mother? Can you give her a thorn like a cactus? But she's going to work for us? . ”

Her mind went blank, and the little hand that her daughter stretched out to her before she died seemed to appear in front of her again, she always thought that her daughter wanted to be like a cactus, to avoid being beaten, but she never thought that her daughter was trying to protect herself.

"She promised me that as long as she could give her a sharp thorn, she would be willing to do what we arranged and work for us, and whatever she was asked to do, her eyes were extremely determined, how sad it is to have an incompetent and cowardly mother," the woman continued, her tone still unchanged, just as calm and calm, "It's a pity that she passed away, and I deeply regret the accident that year." ”

"Who the hell are you?" Feeling incredulous, she lowered her voice and asked one after another, "How did you know my daughter?" What do you want her to do? ”

Her daughter was only six years old when she died, what could she do? Since there is nothing to be gained from a six-year-old girl, the other party negotiates terms with her daughter, and the only possibility is to ask for her daughter's future.

"Whatever she is asked to do, it's better than death," the woman continued, "and now is not the time for you to be surprised, your original alibi is excellent, and you are calm enough to dispose of the corpse afterwards, although you are also vulnerable to your petty calculations when you meet a powerful detective, but it is no problem to hide from the police and most people, and it is indeed not easy, but your unusual act of giving away cactus balls this time is really stupid, do you see the two men sitting in front of the café?" They are watching you, if you leave quietly, you may still be able to run away if the police are not guarded, but after you send out the cactus ball that you have taken care of for many years, they will suspect that you are going to abscond, if you want to leave, just go to the public toilet on the side of the road in front of you in ten minutes, go out through the back window, and get on the black car parked there with the back seat door open, the police will not chase you, of course, there are conditions to help you get out of the tracking, from now on, you have to give up the light, Make a pot of cactus balls that live in the dark and do things for us......"

She was confused at the time, desperately trying to calm her mind and let herself think about it.

Before the woman left, she suddenly paused and left a sentence:

"If you don't want to, you don't have to go there, because when we haven't seen it, the police will never know what we're talking about."

……

"I don't know if she's warning or hinting at anything, I chose to take her or their help and get here in that car," the middle-aged woman leaned against the closet, like the woman she said, with a calm attitude, "and then underwent more rigorous, more standard training, like training to make a killer." ”

"What about the others here?" Urayu asked.

"If you want to listen to stories from other people, then you should do it, some of them kill people just because they think it's fun," the middle-aged woman stared at her tightly knit fingers, "As for training, everyone else is like me, only you are an exception, you have not been to the training ground, of course, it may also be because the training ground was closed a few days ago." ”

Urayu Ayaka felt that the woman spoke as if she had thorns, and judging from the woman's description, the woman should not have been like this, that was probably the change since she arrived in this place, she didn't lose her temper, and asked softly, "Training ground?" Is it in this building? ”

"The 10th floor here is our residence, the guards are on the 11th floor, and on the 16th floor there is a group of men who are also trained, their guards are on the 17th floor, and the 12th to 15th floors in the middle are the training places, when it is open, we occasionally meet those people, and we occasionally train together, but you don't have to worry about those people running down, the supervision here is very strict," the woman said quietly, "It's just that the day before you came here, all the training was terminated, and they were all required to stay on the original floor for the past few days, Don't run around. ”

"So, what about downstairs?" Ayaka Urayu recalled, "The place to test your physical fitness is on the 8th and 9th floors, the first floor is the lobby, and the middle 2nd to 7th floors are what you do?" ”

"I don't know, when I came here, I was told that I couldn't go below the 8th floor," the middle-aged woman's eyes flashed, "You don't want to escape, do you?" Stop dreaming. ”

"Why?" Urayu Ayaka was unwilling, "There is no one to guard the first floor, as long as you can take the elevator, when you get to the first floor, you can leave this building and hide in a dim corner of the factory first......"

"From the 18th floor up, there are people monitoring the movement of the entire factory area, even if you can escape from this building, you can't leave the factory area, and people who run down without permission will either be caught or disappear, maybe they will die, or they may be sent to the laboratory."

"Lab?" Urayu Ayaka was puzzled.

"There seem to be some mad scientists in the organization, and whoever is sent there will be used as test subjects," the woman explained, "and every time someone who fails the test is also sent to the laboratory, and the woman who died that day just knew that she couldn't pass the next test, and wanted to desperately try to see if she could escape from here, of course, it could be that she felt that death was more acceptable." ”

Urayu Ayaka was furrowed in her heart, and her brows furrowed, "That...... What the hell is the organization all about? ”

"I don't know," the woman's fingers rubbed against each other, not as calm as they seemed, "I haven't seen that woman since I got here, and the guards are just guarding and won't answer any of our questions." ”

"I haven't seen the person who sent me here," Ayaka Urayu looked at the woman's expression as if she was lying, sighed, and cheered up again, "Why did you tell me this?" Or, what do you want me to do for you? ”

"I originally planned to go home and leave with Dudu after delivering the cactus, but I arrived here halfway through, and I couldn't go home, and I didn't take Dudu with me," the middle-aged woman frowned, looking a little anxious, and was silent for a while, "Actually...... I have a way to get out of here, I've observed the patrol patterns of the guards, I can get you out of here, and I can also let you avoid the surveillance of those people on the roof, I just hope that after you leave, you can go to my house and find Dudu and help me take good care of it. ”

"Why don't you go yourself?" Urayu Ayaka is still a little wary.

"If you want to leave here, you must have someone to cover you," the middle-aged woman lowered her head, her voice was weak, "And I'm a murderer, even if I leave here, where can I go, I won't force you to leave, after all...... If you get caught, it won't end well......"

There is a hollow section at the foot of the bed between the two, and a bug inside flashes a red display light, which transmits the conversation between the two to the monitoring room on the fifth floor.

Chi Feichi sat behind the table full of monitors, listening to the silence in the loudspeaker, he was not in a hurry, closed a document he had just flipped through, turned his head and asked Gin and vodka sitting on the sofa next to him, "Do you want to take a look?" ”

Gin took the document and threw it to the vodka, "No, I've seen the woman's profile." ”

Vodka took the folder, and at the same time opened it, he didn't forget the man in black who was standing quietly on the side, and his tone was playful, "I said, if a woman who has been trained for less than half a year finds a loophole, is your supervision strengthened?" ”

The man in black, who is also the person in charge here, sweated a little, "But that woman from Sakata...... She...... She ......"

"Humph!" Gin snorted coldly, took out a cigarette and lit it, "That woman is not simple!" ”
