Simon leaned reflexively against a street lamp in Area G, lit a cigarette, and the tar spice of the big red star cigarette on his lips flowed into his throat, and everywhere he came and went, workers hurriedly shouting to carry water to extinguish the fire. Simon stopped a guy with a flower arm and asked, "Why did the scavenger catch fire?" ”

The guy wiped his blackened cheeks, looked at Simon slightly, and said, "Hey, I heard that the oil lamp on the upper floor of the factory fell and just fell into the conveyor belt, man!" Hurry up and put out the fire! Old Jack said that as long as he participated in the firefighting, he would be given 20 yuan per person! After saying that, the young man rushed over with a tin bucket sprinkled with more than half of the industrial wastewater, as if he wished that the factory would burn for a while.

"Thanks for the reminder." Simon waved goodbye. Five thousand dollars to buy me? Please, it's Hydra who wants this factory to burn, even if I give me 500,000, I won't dare to let you go against the grain. Simon went downstairs to Adolfina's house for a fresh dinner on the lake, and the traitor shopkeeper who had been beaten by him was busy handing out cigarettes and alcohol. Simon slowly took two Magnum bullets from the revolver and paid the bill, coins don't have to be a wasteland, but bullets are bound to circulate around the world.

"Is the finishing touch?" Riding the zipline back to the Glatheham Tavern, the streets of Area M have been deserted since last month, and with the sound of a wind chime opening the door, Sivivien sits idly at a walnut table covered with a beige tablecloth, playing chess by herself.

"It's done according to the requirements of the task, a cigarette butt, anyway, the council must have investigated it because the supervisor was negligent and accidentally lit the factory, but the unfortunate project manager was heroic." Simon backhanded the trebuchet and smashed Vivien's king. "I win." He said.

Perhaps because the Pennsylvania marmot was doing a good job, Vivien pretended to suck her fingers seductively and led Simon to the back kitchen. "Come, I've got a surprise for you." Her two cat ears moved.

Is she seducing me? Simon couldn't resist the power transmitted by the cat-eared maid's claws, and was dragged in alive by her, but where did Vivien go to the back kitchen to make an ambiguous scene, but pressed the concave wall tiles, revealing the secret passage of the stairs leading to the top, hugged his arms, raised his head and said: "His Royal Highness the Lord Regent wants to meet the cutting-edge members of Hydra's bloodline ceremony that has made the fastest progress in recent years, yes, you are going to meet the great Highness Melissa now, pay attention to your words and actions, otherwise I will eat you." ”

Simon looked at Vivien, who was only up to his shoulders, but pretended to pounce on her teeth, habitually rubbed her ears with excellent touches, tilted her head and said, "Then you just look at the store and go find a mouse for a snack." ”

Vivien jumped up and rewarded Simon with a chestnut.

"Enter." A voice came from behind the attic door, without any emotion or even tone, and Simon brushed his hairstyle, which had been messed up by the cat-eared maid, cleared his throat, and pushed open the small door and entered.

"Adolfina? That's what she said about surprise? Simon saw Adolfina's trademark shawl red hair as soon as he entered, and he exclaimed.

"Adolfina" turned slowly, and the momentary gaze of the serpentine vertical pupils immediately made Simon fall into an ice cave. "Get on your knees." She said.

An invisible force pressed Simon to get down on one knee. "Every man looks at me as he thinks in his heart, and lifts up his head." The irresistible force snapped his head, and Simon cried out, "Captain Ambrose? ”

The captain was wrapped in the thunder of the war clouds, looking down at the corporal who was trembling like an insect, and every scar on his face was dripping with black gunpowder, and when he spit out the first word, it suddenly surged. "Why did you escape?"

"I ...... I ......" Fear gripped his heart, and Simon seemed to return to the battlefield of Frankfurt, where he least wanted to remember, and he pouted with his lips shaking: "I want to live!" I have a fiancée waiting for me! I can't die in this dog hole! ”

"That's not a reason for you to abandon your comrades and run away on your own, Sniper, you've tarnished the Rangers' creed." The captain's terrifying cheeks were enough to stop a child's night cry, and the burning fire turned into a gun. "Simon Hayes, you escaped from the battle and caused the team to be destroyed, I sentence you and shoot you!"

"No!" The groundhog struggled to get into the hole. "Look, it's still a cringe-inducing nature when you're dying." The captain raised his gun.

"Bang!" The gunfire cleared, Simon opened his eyes, Captain Ambrose disappeared, a man with long hair and black hair that couldn't help but fall into it, he looked at the moon with his hands, Simon couldn't tell what gender he was, and the regent of Hydra still said without the slightest human emotion: "Adolfina Morfin, the one you love, Richard Solomon, the one you hate, Will Ambrose, the one you fear, am I right, Simon Hayes?" ”

"Yes." Simon was crucified in place, only his eyes and lips moving.

"I wasn't surprised to hear that Morfin had chosen a pre-war pure-blood as her companion, after all, the Shapeshifters have always done their own thing, and it was only after meeting you that I realized how thoughtful Morfin was, that you have shown potential worthy of Hydra's attention, and in three months, you have reached the end of the bloodline ceremony, and if the king were to be before me, he would give you the soul of Hydra himself."

"Thank you for your kindness." Simon said.

"Nope." The regent denied the word. "There is no thanksgiving for Hydra, what is to be gained, the king is not here, as the regent of Hydra, on behalf of His Majesty the Supreme Vlad Carsden, I declare that you officially recognize the blood of your Hydra."

The crescent moon shone through the attic window, reflected in the old wooden planks, and the dust was everywhere, and Simon lowered his head deeper and said, "My pleasure." ”

"Good." The Lord Regent turned, but his face changed to that of Vickers Solomon. "My face, that is, for your desires, become Hydra, you have the right to pursue desires, but until then, if you want something, you must give it, tell me, Simon Hayes, are you willing to use your life as a bargaining chip, add to the glory of Hydra, your desires."

Vickers's cold and haughty expression ignited Simon's exuberant anger, revenge, the hatred of his life, and his powerlessness to resist. Simon didn't hesitate to say, "I do, Your Royal Highness the Regent." ”

"Good." The regent affirmed for the second time. "Coordinator Alexander Windhowl will inform you of your new mission, and, I warn you, Hydra, of the abhorrence of betrayal." The moonlight shifted, and by the time Simon looked up again, the regent had vanished into thin air, leaving no traces.

"What did the Lord Regent say?" As Simon walked down the attic in a somewhat dejected manner, Vivien leaned in and handed over a glass of wine, curious.

Simon raised his head and drank the spirits, and said in a deep voice, "What did you say?" No, he didn't say anything, he just saw through my heart. ”
