"Why do you know my name!," the reckoner shouted, "no one will know the name I have abandoned anymore, why do you know?"

"I got your real name from this letter. Glenn pulled out the letter he had smuggled out of the archives from the inside of his jacket, "This is for you, it must have been written to you by former captain Burgess." ”

With a flick of Glenn's hand, all the chains returned to the crack in the ground, and the Reckoner felt his legs go limped and slumped in the corner.

"It's your stuff, I didn't open the letter to see what was written in it, but I believe it must be very meaningful to you. ”

Glenn held the letter to the liquidator, who took it with trembling hands.

On the front of the envelope is the following sentence: This letter is addressed to my proudest student, Jervis "The Iron Mask" - Burgess Kean.

"I know that Captain Burgess is indeed your former mentor, and you are probably the only one who can be called an Iron Mask among the Wild Hunters. ”

"Where did you get your hands?" the reckoner's hands trembled as he looked at the letter in front of him, "If the captain did leave such a letter, then why did I never know it existed?"

"By this time, I'll say it all. Glenn, who was also extremely tired, sat down across from the reckoner, "This is what I took from the captain's archive, and I don't know why you don't know." ”

The Reckoner did not pursue any further questioning, believing that what Glenn had said was not false, and that the handwriting on the letter was indeed exactly the same as that of Burgess's counterpart, and that there was absolutely no other person in the world who could write such handwriting.

He opened the letter, the wound on his arm still aching from the battle, but he didn't care about it now, he just desperately wanted to know what Captain Burgess had left him in this letter.

"By the time you read this letter, there's a good chance I'm dead, Jervis. The first paragraph of the letter simply wrote such a sentence, but this sentence immediately grasped the heart of the reckoner.

"For the first time in history, we will be joining forces with the BPRD in two days, and Knox is very confident in this plan, and he sees it as an opportunity to make Wild Hunt an event organization in the sun. ”

"Actually, this wasn't Knox's idea alone, in fact, I had always wanted Wild Hunt to be what he envisioned. Although I have lived in the dark for so long, I still have an irrepressible desire to live in the sun. ”

"I know you may not believe it, but I'm going to be honest, when I first met you, I immediately overlapped each other, so similar, just like I used to be, full of anger and regret for what I did. ”

"I hope you don't hate me, because I made you live in darkness, but I really want to save you, so that you will no longer be tormented by this pain forever, this is my wish. ”

"However, I gradually found that in this darkness people will only become more numb, and the feelings will gradually become colder, and in the end we will all lose ourselves, and thus lose our true selves. I finally understood that maybe Wild Hunt wasn't supposed to survive in the dark, we all deserved to live in the sun. ”

What is this? The liquidator clenched the paper in his hand, the plan was not all Knox's idea, but the captain himself had thought of it that way?

He hurried on, and everything he read next made him feel completely shaken inside.

"But there are traitors in the hunt, and while I don't know exactly who they are, there's a very hidden force at work. I can sense that this operation is likely to be more than lucky, but I'm going to give it my best anyway!"

"Jervais, you are my student, the student I trained single-handedly, and I look at you as if you were my brother. I want you to be able to live as a real human being, not to lose yourself, never to let your ego disappear. ”

"I hope that one day you will no longer be able to live in the painful past, and when that time comes, you will have your true name back, and the Iron Mask will no longer be needed, that is what you really are. ”

"Of course, I can't finish what I want to say to you, but it's time for me to stop writing here, I believe that Knox can bring true light to the wild hunt, and I believe that Jervis, I will be his most powerful assistant, and you will be able to create a truly perfect future!"

At this point, the handwriting of the letter suddenly changed, and the liquidator could see at a glance who was the person who was now writing it, it was the handwriting of the former captain Knox.

"Jervais, I stumbled upon this letter, and I beg your pardon for opening it without permission, for I am convinced that it has a very important connection with the murder of the captain, and when I read it, I am even more convinced. ”

"You and I are like brothers, Jervais, whatever you think, I always thought so. I know you hate me because you think it was because of me that I was the captain who was killed, and I do have to take responsibility for your accusations. ”

"But my brother, the real enemy has always been hidden among us, and the vice-captain I promoted, Winter Messes, has been secretly operating lately, and when I investigate further, I discover an even more shocking truth. ”

"According to the exact information, Winter and the betrayers in the BPRD have been meeting privately all along, and I have to wonder if the captain's death has anything to do with him, because all his actions are so suspicious. ”

"My reform plan has encountered unprecedented obstacles, I can be sure that someone in the dark is already making plans for rebellion, but I will not stop, because this is also the captain's wish, even if I die, I will complete my plan!"

"There is a good chance that I will die soon, but I hope you can get the truth, I have always regarded you as a brother, and I do not expect you to save me at the last moment, but I still have to say the last words like the captain: Don't lose yourself, my brother. ”

The paper fell from the reckoner's hand, and now that he had all the truth, he understood it in an instant, so it was all just a ruse by Winter to get the position of Captain Hunt.

First, he colluded with the betrayers in the BPRD to attack Captain Burgess, and by creating a gap between him and Knox, he even accurately predicted that Jervis would not accept the position of vice captain, so that he was the only candidate to become the vice captain.

The next step is to use rumors to deceive people, distort the meaning of the Wild Hunt's existence, and even make Gervis wonder who is the murderer of Captain Burgess at the last minute. In this way, everything is in the palm of his hand.

Terrible guys. It was a thought that came to Jervis after reading the letter, and he had designed almost everything to make the existence of the letter a trivial loophole.

"What did I do?" Jervis slammed his head against the wall in pain, "I killed my companion who thought of me as a brother, Knox, you must have hated me at the time, I betrayed your trust!"

Because of the deaths of Burgess and Knox, Jervis has become completely indifferent, which is probably completely expected by Winter, what he really wants is to completely turn Jervis into a ruthless murder weapon, and become a loyal dog of this organization that has long been distorted by him.

"He wanted to erase my ego, and that bastard did!" Jervais's eyes were filled with anger, "Traitor! I've served a traitor until now, and I'm still talking about dark justice there, it's ridiculous!"

"I don't think you're ridiculous. Glenn stood up and walked in front of Jervais, "Justice is never wrong, it's Winter who is wrong. He twists the meaning of justice, he turns everyone in the wild hunt into a murderous devil, he is the source of all chaos. ”

"You're right. Jervis stood up with his body propped up, "The root of all chaos is that vile and shameless traitor, and I will personally crusade against him, for the glory of the wild hunt that has passed." ”

"You're going to die, Reckoner!" Glenn held out his hand to stop him, "Fighting him with your current body is simply looking for death!"

"Stop calling me the Liquidator. Jervis smiled at Glenn, "It's time for the name Reckoner to disappear, I've now taken back the name Jervis, I'm not here for revenge, it's for my true self now!"

"Hey, why don't you listen to persuasion?" Glenn still didn't have the slightest intention of backing down, "I managed to save you from the shackles of darkness, how could I just watch you die?"

"Thank you, Glenn. Jervis smiled and said, "Thank you for never giving up on me, it is because of you that I can regain my lost self, and I cannot describe how grateful I am to you." ”

"But I have to go! You told me that man has the power to change his fate, and I want to change my destiny, not as a killing machine, but as a human being, as a human named Jervis. ”

"Jervais, I see your enlightenment. Glenn knew the man in front of him had made up his mind, "But I'm still—"

"Needless to say, I'm sorry, I get it. Jervis smiled and said, "You must have come here for something important, I have done a lot of wrong things, but this time let me cover for you!"

"I see, Jervis. Glenn held out a hand to him, "But you are not fighting as a sinner, you should be our companion now, salute you, my comrade-in-arms." ”

"You have to succeed, comrade-in-arms. Without the slightest hesitation, Jervis shook Glenn's hand, "It's a pleasure to be able to fight with you, even though it's a little too late, but I'm really happy." ”

Jervis let go of Glenn's hand, and he shuffled a little towards the end of the passage, watching his back fade away, Glenn's eyes moistened unconsciously.

"We're not going to lose, Jervis. Glenn clenched his fists in front of his chest, "It's an honor to be able to fight with you. ”

He hurried towards where Renault had been headed, he knew that time was running out now, he didn't know what was going on with Renault, but he was sure that they would not lose this battle for the future of humanity.
