Chapter 31: Tio's Courage (I)
"These bastards." Guy hatefully pounded Sergei's desk, and the entire metal table was shaken, "It's ...... at this time"
"After all...... Big brother, your ability to act is too strong, I'm afraid that those people in the upper echelons have long been afraid of it, so ......" Lloyd was still frowning. After making a promise to the mayor at noon to guarantee Mr. Gunz's reputation, and watching Hyliga and the mayor take Gunz away, he hurried back to the support section building while it was still early in the day. He warned Lloyd and the others of the potential dangers of the incident, and told them the news that Crossbell had a hitherto obscure securities dealer whose performance had grown by leaps and bounds in recent weeks, to almost terrifying proportions. At the same time, the people around him also reacted that he was more irritable and irritable than usual - he was originally only criticized by his superiors for his poor performance, so it was normal for him to be gloomy for a long time, and he was still a good person on the whole, but under the premise that his performance was improving by leaps and bounds and the business situation was improving, he almost injured his colleague who spoke disrespectfully to him because of jealousy.
The dots are connected into lines, the lines are laid out - the outline of a great conspiracy is already emerging from the surface of the water. However, at this very moment, Lloyd's big brother, Sergei's former subordinate, and now the ace of the Crossbell Police Department, Guy Bannings, the head of the First Search Section, appeared at the door of the Support Section with a sad face, bringing the news that the police high-level forced the First Division to stop the current illegal smuggling of "Lubacher" and their secret conflict with "Black Moon".
When things came to a critical moment, they were stopped so brutally - you can think of what is going on with your toes. It must have been the top brass of the police department who accepted Rubacher's request and began to get in the way of his real professional and righteous investigators. In this case, the first thing on Guy's mind is still the same as it was a few years ago - talk to his old boss, Sergei, about countermeasures.
happened to catch up with Lloyd and others reporting today's receipt to the section chief, so the two groups of people took advantage of the situation to carry out a wave of intelligence exchange.
"So this is ......" Seeing the small blue pill in Roy's hand, Guy sighed, "I actually hit it all...... That guy predicted all of them......"
"That guy?" Lloyd didn't understand, but there was a vague familiar feeling in his heart, "It's ...... to say"
"Why, don't you know? I thought he told you a long time ago. Guy looked surprised at first, then exchanged a serious look with Chief Sergei—who nodded, and then Guy said, "Okay...... It doesn't hurt to tell you...... In fact, for this kind of weirdness, it can greatly improve the comprehensive ability of the human body, and at the same time it has the side effect of making people become ferocious...... The appearance of such a strange medicine, our good friend of the Empire...... Heiliga had expected it. ”
"What?" The four members of the Support Section were taken aback, especially Lloyd, "Haley Gata-"
"Hmm...... He warned me about this long before Secretary Arniestria's accident...... After that, he relayed all the information to Arios and me, and then passed it on only to the search section and among the guerrillas, just in case of emergency—I thought he had already told you this, but he hadn't......
"Woo......" If he only had doubts before, then Guy's performance and language can be said to have completely confirmed something. Hearing this, Theo's face turned pale, and his whole person was a little shaky.
"Ah......h He took three steps and two steps, holding Theo in his arms so that she would not fall, and his face was full of apologies: "Sorry, Theo, I forgot...... I'm sorry......"
“…… You guy, as a section chief, are still so reckless. Sergei said this lightly. For Sergei, who has always been emotionally weak, this is already a very heavy criticism.
"Huh...... It's like ...... Same five years ago. Tio's face was pale, his hands and feet were cold, and he felt a chilling coldness all over his body—but looking at Guy beside him, who had a regretful expression on his face, Sergei, who was a little more unhappy than his usual poker face, and his companions, who had different expressions, but all revealed their concern—the warm feeling began to return little by little.
She remembered how Faye had talked about Liber in a few small talks—including the courage to speak out about her past as a hunter—and the frank and earnest confessions that took advantage of the situation, albeit without fanfare.
Theo made up her mind in her heart.
————————————————————————————-
It was nightfall, but the building where the Secret Service Support Section was located wasn't as usual, everyone was doing their own work, and there was the occasional sigh or two and the creak of the wooden door shut. Sergei, who had been idle in his office on the first floor, smoking cigarettes and reading reports, took charge of the kitchen with Guy for the first time, and Guy worked on the side. The two continued to chat, occasionally reminiscing about the days of the former Sergei Golden Trio. The smell of rice porridge and vegetable soup on the stove mixes and the aroma is overflowing.
And Lloyd and the others were not idle - they took turns to take care of Theo, who had a bad face just now and was now half unconscious. Kia was also very well-behaved, she knew that she couldn't help much, so she was just in the living room, teasing Zeite a little nervously, looking very worried.
"Gollum." The wolf looked at the girl beside her with caring eyes, and then stretched out his tongue and licked the tips of her fingers gently, trying to put her mind at ease.
"Hmm...... Thank you, Mr. Wolf. Kia said sensibly, "You're also worried about Sister Theo, right?" ”
“…… Woof. ”
"Is that so...... After all, Sister Tio is the only person in the family who can understand what you mean. Kia smiled and said, "Since Mr. Zeat thinks so, then Sister Theo will be fine......
"Qiya, the vegetable soup and rice porridge are ready." Guy in the kitchen poked his head out, "If it's convenient, I can trouble you-"
"Forget it, let such a young child carry the soup, and I'm not afraid that she will burn herself." Sergei's voice came out.
"I'm just giving Kia a reason for the child, she's always looked upset......" Guy protested quietly.
"Then it's a little while...... After all, they're probably already talking about that by now. As soon as Sergei said this, Guy's head immediately shrugged down.
"Okay...... Then let them ...... Well, it's time too......" Guy reluctantly put down the soup bowl that had been served, and his tone was emotional.
"Theo...... Come on...... Come on. ”
