Chapter 17: The Devil's Mask
"Brother! You didn't leave! ”
When Liu Zhi heard the man's voice, he screamed in surprise, smiled, and threw away the cigarette butt he had just picked up! Even the ones who ran over here.
When Luo heard Liu Zhi's words, he instantly felt a lot more relieved! The man behind him shouldn't hurt himself.
Still, Willow Branch's brother?
Lowe had never heard Willow Branch say that he had an older brother.
The man behind Luo was dressed in a black training suit, and he was already in his forties.
"Brother! If there is no cigarette, reward me with one! Willow said impatiently, with a flattering face,
"I'll give you a leg beat! Don't, then I'll give you a pinch! ”
Luo looked at Liu Zhi dumbfounded, is this really the little brother he received? Isn't it two or five boys? Be more attentive to others than to his boss! Can smokers really be exaggerated to this extent?
"!" The man with a serious face in the last second showed a look of disgust and impatience, "I'll be your father, and you're still close to me here, one brother at a time!" ”
Luo thought, this is probably the smoking instructor that Liu Zhi saw, it turned out to be this kind of "brother".
"Hey, hey!" Liu Zhi didn't mind the man's dislike at all, his eyes and eyebrows were squeezed together, and the flattery on his face was even stronger!
"You can smoke a cigarette, I can call grandpa! Grandpa, grandpa! One doesn't work, one doesn't work, that half of it! ”
"Don't bother me with any of them!"
As he spoke, the man took out a cigarette under the eager gaze of Willow Branch!
Ordered it for himself!
"Don't act there! Don't do anything to this kid! If you have something to say, get out of here if you have nothing to do! A teenage kid who still wants to smoke? And also! The one hiding in the woods, the one you are looking for, turn right and left along the tree target! ”
As the words fell, a figure emerged from the woods, bowed to this side, and ran in the direction the man had said.
Luo was surprised, it turned out that there was such a person behind him all along, but he didn't notice it at all, and he felt his childishness again.
This person, Luo knew, was a female member standing next to the carrier pigeon during the day, and the code name was - River Crab.
Then the person she is looking for should be the alarm clock.
Willow Branch didn't look back, still rubbing his hands and smiling at the man, not caring who the man in the woods was or what he wanted to do.
It was also at this time that Luo reacted, and when he entered the woods, Liu Zhi said: "Follow closely!" I don't care if I'm lost! "What's the point.
Luo has a lot of things he doesn't understand, why did Willow Branch bring river crabs to find the alarm clock? Why does the instructor of the alarm clock indicate the whereabouts of the alarm clock to the river crab? Why do river crabs come to the alarm clock now? Gathering intelligence? Defection? Or to death?
"Brother, you are really as wise as a torch! You can see it at a glance," Willow Branch slapped Luo on the shoulder with a big grin.
"This kid is the little brother I recently accepted! Don't look at him like this, he is still more capable of fighting! Isn't bootcamp now allowing free love? This unsuccessful bastard glanced at the alarm clock today and said to me, 'Boss, I seem to be in love!' 'I'm just this little brother at the moment, you say, you have to worry about his life's affairs, right!' I'm bringing him to you, and I want to inquire from you, the preferences of the alarm clock, the person, or something! You have to know some basic information first! If it's not suitable, I'll persuade him to give up! Can't climb high! If this kid doesn't want to chase after him, then at least be more sure! Do you say? ”
Luo calmly watched the willow branch talk nonsense on his shoulder, without breaking it. Because the man in front of him won't believe it!
"Yes."
The man held the cigarette between his thumb and forefinger, and flicked the ash with his middle finger.
"But he's left alone!"
"It's done, it's done! You have the final say! Boy, I'll be waiting for you outside the woods! ”
As he spoke, Willow turned and went back the way he came.
This sentence, even if it prompts, is a hint!
Prompt Luo, he is not far outside, if you don't run to him or call for help, he can hear it!
At the same time, it is implied that the man wants to talk about it, even if the man says that he will not do anything to Luo, he is still not at ease!
After Willow Branch left, the scene was deserted for a while.
Luo respectfully called out to the man, "Sir." ”
Maybe Willow Branch didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, but that didn't stop Luo from recognizing him. Lowe's parents have a photo with Mr. who looks to be in his twenties.
In fact, in the entire training camp against smoking and drinking, if there are people who dare to smoke in front of others unscrupulously, it must be the highest person in charge of the training camp - sir.
"Luo, it seems that you have made a good friend in the past few months!"
Luo is not surprised that Mr. will know his name, the entire training camp is under the control of Mr., I am afraid that the opponents and venues he will assess are all arranged by him!
"Well, it's been a good time, I'm barely getting used to the training camp, there's a lot of novelty, a lot of interesting people! Of course, this is all thanks to Mr.! ”
At the end of Luo's words, scholar Liu Zhi complimented Mr., very blunt! But the gentleman didn't seem to react, and his face was still grim.
The meaning of scrutiny in his eyes became more and more intense, and he said in a calm voice:
"After today's incident, you should understand the fact that you are a rookie! You are very smart, you learn things quickly, and you are proud of your perseverance and achievements after your parents said that after basic education, you have been in a state of self-study. But there is a process for turning intelligence into strength, and there is a lack of experience! That's how you stand up to the rest of the bootcamp! ”
Luo didn't deny it, but nodded silently.
He's a proud guy, at least, before he went to training camp. It took him three years to learn what others couldn't fully grasp in ten years. Then, every day I sat in class, bored listening to the teacher talk about the knowledge I had learned a long time ago, gradually, the initial sense of superiority disappeared, and when it came to what those classmates didn't know, they would only nod their heads as if they didn't understand, and then show the look of admiration they expected. In the end, those admiring faces are all the same......
So he chose to take a leave of absence quite proudly, he always thought he was the best! After the death of his parents, he did not choose to be adopted, but came to the training camp, and his fragile pride was broken again and again in today's days......
"I understand the teachings of the gentleman, but I want to ask the gentleman one thing!"
Luo raised his head, didn't dodge, and looked straight at Mr.! There is disbelief in the eyes! There is anger!
"In the past few months, I have heard a lot about the training camp, and they started killing people at the age of 7 and 8, killing people for a knife, killing people for a place, and even killing people for fear of betrayal, not teaching history, not teaching literature, and not even teaching them the most basic moral knowledge! What do you think of the students here? They are all suffering, physically, psychologically! You know what a deformed thing a bootcamp really is! Why? You can, you can change that! Why, do you have to make ...... one by one? A monster like that? ”
The gentleman gave a sneer.
"You're questioning me! Do you know? I hate people like you the most, it always reminds me of those incompetent politicians who have not experienced anything, but dare to represent anything! Have you done any research? Did you count the data? Take a report from someone else and start talking! On behalf of agriculture! On behalf of light industry! On behalf of the citizens! On behalf of small asset business households! On behalf of the real economy! You look exactly like them! ”
The gentleman's voice was almost roaring, and Luo was so frightened that he unconsciously took two steps back! But Luo still stubbornly said:
"I know that there are a lot of bad things in the world! But at least those things are under the constraints of the law and will not go out of control! It's too casual in the bootcamp, isn't it? You can kill people at will, as long as you accept some punishment afterwards! Even if those people are really incompetent, they are looking for something for those people, aren't they! ”
"I think I understand a little bit of truth! Do you think you can point fingers at others and judge others? Move the spearhead from targeting people to targeting training camps! Do you feel that you have found the key to the problem? Actually, you don't even understand what the truth is! You are not qualified to judge the good or bad of those students! I'm not qualified to question me about the quality of the camp! ”
"Do you know what the truth is? The truth of the training camp today is the truth of this world! Big fish eat little fish! The law exists for order, and there are countless ways to circumvent the law and destroy a person! ”
"You are a manufacturer, today I can cut off your raw material supply and let you stop production directly; You are the chairman, and tomorrow I will buy your board of directors and vote you out; Even if you are an ordinary person, I can spread your black history the day after tomorrow and let everyone criticize you! ”
"There are too many ways to kill without seeing blood, does the law work? If the law helps! Today, you, I, are here! Because of what? Do you know what the truth is? The truth is typed, not spoken! ”
"That iron law! To this day, the training camp is complying with it! You should know how that iron law came about! They go through this because they don't have a choice in the first place! ”
Luo opened his mouth to argue something, but in the end he didn't say anything......
After venting, Mr.'s tone softened a lot.
"If you want to see the essence through the phenomenon, you must first come out of the protection of others! You have survived in the training camp to this day, not because of me, but because of your parents and willow branches. Just like today's alarm clock shelters the carrier pigeons. ”
……
Outside the woods, Willow Branch felt that it was a loss today, not only did not ask for cigarettes, but also lost the two cigarette butts he picked up, so now he is working harder to pick up leaves to make up for his losses!
I can vaguely hear that the man is scolding very badly, and the more he scolds, the more it means that he won't do it!
So the willow branch whistled while happily picking up the leaves!
Blowing and blowing, the movement of willow branch's hand stopped, and he spoke.
"Do you want to play like this all of them? It's easy to scare people out of the sick! I'm glad I know you're never going to kill people casually, or I'd have started running away! ”
A girl stood not far behind Willow Branch, much shorter than Willow Branch, black training clothes, not even the sweat stains on it, her hair was tied into a ponytail tied behind her head, and on the left side of her face, there was a scar from the corner of her mouth to the root of her ear.
"The river crab is over talking so quickly? You can't be a doppelganger, right? ”
Willow turned to the alarm clock and teased.
"It's none of your business."
"Alright then," Willow scratched her head, "what's the matter with me?" ”
The alarm clock opened its face expressionlessly.
"I heard that your intelligence skills are very good?"
"It's just average."
Yanagi was modest, in terms of intelligence, his ability was at least stronger than that of the river crab who specialized in intelligence, and when the river crab didn't know that the alarm clock was not dead, Liu Zhi had already touched the personal training ground of the alarm clock.
The alarm clock took half a cigarette out of his pocket and threw it to the willow branch, and the front of the cigarette seemed to be torn off.
Liu Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he carefully continued, took out a piece of paper and wrapped it, for fear that a piece of tobacco would fall off the fracture! He gave the alarm clock a thumbs up, "Awesome, you can get this thing out of that person's pocket!" Say, I'll find out what you want! ”
"I want to know what kind of person Shu Teng is."
Liu Zhi was a little surprised, it was the first time someone had bought news from him that he had killed someone with his own hands.
"Well, I've been with him for a while. Just from the perspective of being the boss, to be honest, the people are not bad! Be his little brother, if he suffers a loss, he will definitely get back to the field! Over the years, it's not that no one has betrayed him, but I haven't heard of him killing people who want to betray him in advance. That guy has a characteristic, that is, he has different hearts, when the carrier pigeon pestered him, he rolled one by one, but in fact, there was no woman around him......"
"Okay, that's it, that's enough!"
The alarm clock interrupted Willow Branch's words, and turned to leave.
"Well, ask a question, after hearing me say this, will you regret killing him?"
"No, it won't." The alarm clock didn't come back either.
"I think so," Willow touched her chin, "you did this today to save the pigeon, right?" That knife wasn't aimed at her neck in the first place! You're afraid that she will find a short-sightedness, so you deliberately provoke her, but is it really good to live with hatred? ”
Instead of denying it, the alarm clock said, "It's best to be alive." ”
Who of them is not more or less burdened with some hatred?
"What about you? Didn't think of seeking revenge on me? This time, the alarm clock turned back, revealing the scarred left side of the face.
Willow Branch smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Why, I've already come out of the self-established portal! And I don't want to die either. ”
"Besides, I know, boss...... It's worth dying at your hands! Nothing to be sad about......"
……
"Can we get back to the beginning?"
The gentleman sat down on a dummy and took out another cigarette and lit it for himself. The half-smoked cigarette was thrown to the ground in anger and stomped on it.
"The first topic?"
Luo hadn't yet reacted to what the initial topic was.
"Don't you want to know what kind of person an alarm clock is?"
"I can tell you now. Although she didn't care about being disgusted, she was my student after all! I care! ”
Luo, who was pointed out to hate the alarm clock, did not have the embarrassment of being guessed, and after being scolded, he seemed to accept the reality completely.
"Based on your description, I would reconsider my attitude towards the alarm clock."
In Mr.'s opinion, the current Luo is much more pleasing to the eye than before.
"Alarm clock is actually a very fragile person, who sees the end of life too early, but does not know what he should pursue in life...... By the time she killed that instructor, her life was over! At that time, she told me that there was another person who killed her friend, and I didn't find out. I still value her very much, so I set a goal for her for the rest of her life. ”
There is a person in the training camp who Mr. can't find, and the possibility of this incident happening is almost zero, so after combing through the incident again and again, Mr. finally understood that the other murderer was actually the alarm clock himself......
"What goal?"
These extraneous voices were not heard by Lo now, so he asked another, the question that the gentleman wanted him to ask.
The corners of the gentleman's mouth rose slightly at this moment, and he glanced at Luo and said, "Do you know that the organization has a mission at the highest level?" ”
Lowe's mind went blank at this moment......
That mission, he knew, his parents died from that mission!
The man in front of him, this demon, he, is going to send an alarm clock...... Go to death!
……
The gentleman had been gone for a long time, and Lo stood there in a daze, until the returning willow tapped him on the shoulder, and he came back to his senses, and then told the willow branch about his conversation with the gentleman.
When he learned what Mr. said at the end, Willow couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't say anything.
People who are in awe of morality and law will always subconsciously favor the weak and glorify the victim. Put on a demon mask for yourself, but also take away the title of alarm clock monster...... Sir, you really are a master of fiddling with people's hearts!
