At the same time, at one end of the Secret Service Support Section, Lloyd, who had just hung up the communication, looked at several companions with worries written on their faces, looking at Theo sleeping soundly on the bed, and sighed, "Ike said that he is coming over now. ”

"This little girl is just anemic, nothing serious." Lloyd's sister, Cecil, a hospital nurse, breathed a sigh of relief, "But I'm sorry, there are no empty rooms on the ward side now." ”

"Where, that's a big help. Here, Theo should be able to rest better. Lloyd replied.

"Thank you so much, Miss Cecil." Ellie said gratefully.

"It's nothing, I'm going to be on the night shift tonight anyway, so it's okay to let her sleep until morning." Cecil smiled and shook her head, "Then I'll go to duty first." ”

"Trouble!"

With everyone saying goodbye, Cecil walked out of the room and gently closed the door. As soon as it was closed, the three of them came to the side of the bed and looked worriedly at the sleeping Theo.

"Is it true that I listened to Dr. Joassim to become like this?" Ellie sighed.

"If only I had noticed it earlier." Lloyd blamed himself a little.

"It's about the drugs made by those demon-worshipping guys."

There was silence for a long time, and I don't know how long it was, but in the silence of everyone, a voice sounded softly.

"No problem, you can ask me as much as you want."

"Theo?!"

"Great, are you awake?!"

Looking at Theo, who was struggling to sit up, everyone was surprised.

"Please don't, worry too much about me." Tiou still had an unfazed expression, and said calmly, "As the person in charge of the drug investigation mission, you need to know the information I know. ”

“。。。。。。” Lloyd suddenly sighed, "I say, Tio, do you think we're going to ask about things you don't want to mention?" ”

"Huh?"

"Of course, the investigation is important, but it's a different thing entirely." Ellie also said, "To us, you are not only our colleague, but above that, you are an irreplaceable companion." ”

"Everyone has some past events that they don't want to be mentioned." Randy was helpless, "Uh, though my past has been exposed a little bit. If you don't want others to know about your past ... ”

“。。。 It's a shame that you can say things so calmly that make people blush, and it seems that you have also been infected by Lloyd's predecessors. Theo sighed, a soft smile on her face.

"Oh, I guess so." Ellie responded with a smile.

"There's no way to argue with that." Randy smiled heartily.

"No, you better refute it." Lloyd was helpless.

"It's not a past you don't want others to know... Theo was silent for a moment, then replied, "I told Lloyd about it before, I was separated from my parents when I was five years old, because I was kidnapped by some fanatical religious group. ”

“！”

“！？”

"Could it be?!"

The true doctrine and purpose of that order is still unclear. However, they were trying to gain something by denying the Goddess and worshipping the Devil, all the children, including me ... It should be their 'offerings'."

"Offerings?"

"It's an offering, but it's not a living offering... However, there are also many children who have been murdered. Theo paused, "Anyway, the Order has several strongholds, each of which uses different methods to try various 'rituals', and the one I was brought to was conducting human experiments called 'rituals'. ”

"This is!"

"Human experiments?!"

"I was forced to take drugs, fill my whole body with sensors, and use every method I could think of to conduct experiments to improve my five senses. and more by coercive suggestion and the imposition of mental load to raise the so-called inspiration ... I've been repeating this experiment for three years... ”

"Theo..."

“。。。。。。”

"Even so, I may have been lucky that none of the children except me could endure it. When the children around me died one by one, and I was the only one left, I finally gained the ability to sense the deathbed wails of other children even through the thick rock wall. ”

“。。。。。。”

"These brutes...

"Later, I met Ike. He was the one who rescued me from that stronghold, and I was found in the ritual room by stepping on the corpse, and if it had been another day or a half, I would have died. "The people in those colonies were eventually killed by Ike and the men who cleared the colonies, and he went to other colonies, but he didn't find a single child alive. I was taken to this hospital by Ike and it took me a few months to recover. Merely... Theo tried to sort out the language, "Even though the children are dead, I don't feel any fluctuations, it's like I have lost the human affection after gaining the ability to surpass humans." ”

"Theo..."

"Later, I lived with Ike, and then met Xiao Ling, and after several years of life, Ike took me to the Epstein Foundation to learn about guidance, and Ike and Ling came to see me every month or two."

"Wait, why did Ike send you to this place?" Ellie asked.

"Because of work." Randy replied, "In terms of time, Ike at that time seems to be the leader of the Chasseur. That's when I got involved with him."

"Chasseur?! Isn't he a guerrilla? ”

"Yes, at that time, Ike had the task of being in charge of the chasseurs, but it was not as simple as an ordinary chasturer." Theo replied.

"Association. You should have heard from Istelle, right? ”

The door was gently pushed open, and Ike rushed in, closing the door and walking to Theo's bedside with a concerned face, "Are you alright?" ”

"The doctor is just anemic." Ellie replied from the sidelines.

"Yes." Ike exhaled obviously, turned around, looked at everyone coldly, and then looked at Theo who was holding his palm tightly, sighed softly, and his stiff face relaxed, "Since Theo is now your partner, I can't say anything more, but now, I want to know what happened, why is Theo suddenly anemic?" ”

Lloyd apologized for giving a rough overview of the matter. By the time the last sentence was finished, Ike was already gloomy, looking at Lloyd, who was ashamed and had something to say. "Is it really like this... I also received the information just now, and it seems that in terms of intelligence gathering, Lloyd, you seem to be a lot better than me. Ike said with some self-deprecation, "That's pretty much what Theo said, yes, is there anything else you'd like to ask?" ”

"I want to ask about that operation." Lloyd replied earnestly, "My eldest brother was also involved in that operation." ”

“。。。。。。 At that time, many people participated in that operation. Ike was silent and replied, "Not only your eldest brother, but also your boss, that Sergei, and now the elite of the first department, the guerrillas. That includes your eldest brother, and the Wind Blademaster you're familiar with, oh, he looked like a cop back then. ”

"What?!"

"Arios?!"

"It's the police?"

"At that time, he and your big brother were quite famous in Cross Bell." Ike replied disapprehantly, "The D∴G Order is one of the most vicious gangs in years, and they have more than a dozen strongholds spread across the continent. Ike replied, "In order to combat this demon of faith and abduct children for human experimentation, various countries have formed a task force, and many national forces have participated in it, your eldest brother and Arios are present as the Autonomous Prefecture of Crossbell, and I was invited by Cassius in my personal capacity." ”

"Cassius means...

"That S-class guerrilla, Cassius Bright?!"

"Yes, he was the commander-in-chief at that time." Ike nodded, "The Order has rituals in various strongholds, you should have heard of it, right?" Resurrect demons, control ancient creatures, collect and control ancient relics, human experiments, and more. And what is indispensable for this is the medicine called 'true knowledge'. Ike took out a transparent pouch from his pocket, and a few light blue pills lay quietly in the bag, and there was no indication that it could be so implicated under the plain appearance.

"Ike, where did you get that?"

"There are not many people on the black market now, but it is definitely not a few, it seems that after that operation, there are still fish that have slipped through the net, and from the perspective of scale, it seems that this fish is not small."

"This Order ... and associations ... Lloyd pondered for a moment, "Does it matter?" ”

"Why do you ask?" Ike asked rhetorically.

"I've heard it said." Lloyd replied, "There seems to be a connection between the association and the Order. ”

“。。。。。。 It seems that you have some misunderstanding of the association. Ike replied, "The so-called association, although it is not a good person, does not bother to do such a thing. The actions of the Order have seriously angered all forces, not only the associations, but also the Church. All I would have agreed to Cassius' invitation to help. Ike sneered as a member of the association. ”

"Were you the one who formed the association at that time?"

"Who told you that the Society can't have its own hunting regiment? Randy. Ike shrugged "All in all, there is no connection between the association and the order, and even if there is, it is only a hostile relationship, and in fact, the strongholds destroyed in the hands of the association should be the most." Unlike the guerrilla police, the association adopted a war of annihilation. You should know what that means. "There are no captives, no living people, this is how the Society attacks the Order." ”

"Even if you kill people at will because of this?"

"You know what." Ike's voice grew colder, "Have you seen what the stronghold looks like?" Have you ever seen a human corpse like garbage to be eaten by rats and maggots? It's a place a thousand times more terrifying than you can imagine, and even the hunters with iron-hearted hearts are disillusioned by this scene, and those who have never seen hell should not be ashamed to say good things here. Ike looked at the papier-faced people and replied, "Your current boss also participated in the destruction operation, I remember it should be the stronghold of the Republic, I heard that it is the most insipid stronghold, you go and ask him, after so many years, he will still see that scene in a nightmare, I don't believe that people who see those can still have so-called self-righteous words on their lips, and then discuss these big truths with me!" ”
