Alex's funeral took place early the next morning, and a light rain fell just in time. Many of Widkan's relatives and friends came, and this time Luna also arrived, personally laying chrysanthemums around Alex's coffin, and listening to the pastor's prayers as Alex's family.

In her eulogy to Alex, Luna joins Mobiki and Krant to fill the coffin. She couldn't do this kind of physical work, but she gritted her teeth and persevered. The rain sparsely fell on his face, mixed with sweat and tears.

The second time. The second time I watched my friend's life dissipate before my eyes. It wasn't until Alex uttered his last words that she realized Alex's identity and the reasons for his actions.

"Which irresponsible doctor did this?"

yes, I'm so irresponsible.

Watching Alex's body being taken away by the hearse, Luna cried all night. At that time, Jessica was unlearned and inadequate. But this time, she couldn't prevaricate herself with the same reason. She knows the essentials of saving people, and she has enough necessities around her, but she still can't stop death from taking her friend's life.

What makes a good surgeon? I can't even save the friends in front of me, and I'm useless at all.

*****

Cavendish also came, but could not muster up the courage to stand in the crowd of Alex to see Alex off, and only lingered near the parking lot of the cemetery.

Yesterday, after being rescued, he did not join the search for Luna. He hadn't recovered from Headley's words, just like the aftershocks after an earthquake. Cavendish left the venue and returned home. Two hours later, he received a call from Widkan and then showed up here today.

He's here to apologize, and he must apologize. Although his misunderstanding may not have had any real effect, he must apologize for his rudeness, and then, make it clear.

The crowd of people who had finished the funeral walked towards it, and Luna was too. She was wearing a long black dress, a pale flower on her chest swayed in the wind, and her solemn expression told the people around her that her mood was not suitable for conversation, but Cavendish was going to step forward at this time.

"Luna, wait."

Behind Luna, Mobiki and Krant have not yet recovered from their grief. Mobiki wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and Crane stepped forward, angrily trying to drive the ignorant man away, but was persuaded by Luna.

"What's the matter, Carvin...... No, Mr. Zoluz? ”

Asked by this calm and cold tone, Cavendish was confused by the words he had prepared in advance. He hastened to reorganize the language.

"I'm sorry, I've been to you in the past...... There was a misunderstanding because of that time, huh...... I also sensed that something had changed in the hospital, but I didn't expect it to be my father, and I want to apologize to you on his behalf......"

Speaking of which, Cavendish froze. After a night of precipitation, he still didn't want to believe that his father was a "terrorist", and he didn't believe that his loving, dignified, and sensible father would kill people and kidnap people. What he didn't say later, Luna said for him.

"Thank you for being here today, Mr. Zoluz. Lingzun's matter, I don't want to comment, and I believe that you have nothing to do with this. ”

Cavendish was relieved. "Thank you, Luna, I hope ...... if you can"

"No need."

The same cold answer gave Cavendish another slap in the face.

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Zoluz. You're good, and I say that because of myself. After yesterday's events, I understand that I am not qualified to love others and to be loved now. ”

The girl lowered her head and gently pressed her hand on the flower on her chest.

"I didn't realize his heart for me until the final parting. He was wounded all over my body, but I couldn't save him! ”

She became excited, unwilling tears welled up again, and her voice was almost roaring.

"And say 'I won't let you die', you can't do it at all! Such a dull woman is not qualified to be with you, please go! ”

With a categorical remark, Luna pushes Cavendish away to stop her arm and gets into the car with Mobiki and Crane. This time, her driver was replaced by Crant.

*****

When she got home, Luna didn't even change her clothes, shook off Mobiki and Crant, and went straight to the study. On the desk, next to Jessica's photo, there is another one.

That was last year, when the autumn wind carried away the leaves, and the snow had not yet fallen. Alex went shopping, and dragged Luna, who was resting, with him. Luna doesn't like windy days, but she can't resist Alex's soft grinding, so she has to go out with her.

On the street, the two of them just in time for a video store to celebrate, which has a cosplay event for customers. Luna is not interested, and at Alex's strong request, she changes a few outfits and asks someone else to take a picture of herself and Alex.

"Is there any use for such clothes?"

"Haha, just look at it, miss."

Alex is thrilled to hold the photo he just took to Luna.

"Don't you think you're cute?"

It was the first time Luna had received the word "cute", a small compliment that tossed like a pebble into the pool of water in her heart, causing ripples. Luna couldn't help but take a few more looks.

In the photo, Luna is dressed in a pink and white maid outfit with her hands behind her back, standing with Alex in a butler outfit, looking very compatible. She was really happy that day, because she could see all kinds of herself in the photos, and the novelty blew away all the unhappiness that was born of the trouble at first. Alex smiled like a child, as if he was experiencing the happiest moment of his life.

Now, the moment is frozen, along with Jessica's photo of the winner, on Luna's desk.

Jessica's smile, Alex's smile, like two knives, kept stabbing Luna's heart. The mental torture was doubled, and perhaps finding it unbearable, she hid her head in her arm and began to sob.

The shy boy ten years ago, the sunny boy ten years later, will not come back.

*****

Widkan, who had finished the funeral, was in no mood to do anything all day. It wasn't until the next day that he returned to work and continued to arrange his itinerary.

In order to be competitive enough for the soon-to-be-established branch, Widkan plans to choose a better route in the purchase of medicines. The domestic market has been carved up, and all kinds of medical equipment dealers, drug distributors and manufacturers have their own cooperative hospitals, and it is not easy to break through from their encirclement. But Widkan already had a new idea – to go abroad and develop his partners.

After repeated comparisons, Widkan chose the largest city in the Arctic Country, Akiyama, and he talked to the mayor on the phone several times, and the two sides chatted quite speculatively. The other party invited him to come for an interview, and the time was arbitrary. Widkan selected the plane on May 4, 8 a.m.

He had planned to take Luna and Cavendish with him after the birthday party as an opportunity to travel and bond with him. Now he had to take Luna with him.

Luna wasn't going to go, but she didn't want to be grieved all the time. It's also good to go out and change her mood, Mobiki and Crane both persuade her, and Luna listens to them now. After lunch, I still let Crane choose clothes, let Mobiki put on makeup, pack up, and set off with his father.

The journey from Vidi to the Arctic Continent crosses the continent of Anzhou. Because she was going to stay in Akiyama City for a while, Luna brought some luggage. Everything else was picked up by Mobiki and Crane, but the only two photos that Luna had to bring anyway.

"How does it feel?" Taking a seat in the plane, Widkan asked Luna.

"I'm fine, Dad."

Luna had returned to her normal state, leaning back in her chair and glancing at the airport and the city that had left her with all her memories and experiences.

This time she went out with her father, and Luna didn't go to play. Alex's death, Headley's true face, and Cavendish's hidden feelings all made her deeply realize how innocent she was in the past. If you can be in a new environment, add new insights and have a minimum judgment of many things, the tragedy of Alex may not happen.

She understands that what she needs to improve is not her medical skills. Akiyama City, where she looks forward to finding answers.

======

Back to the evening of May 2nd.

Headley, who had managed to escape from the police, was sitting in a helicopter and was in new trouble before he could catch his breath.

As the helicopter flew over a grove of trees on the golf course, a beam of light suddenly shot out of the woods, piercing the helicopter's tail. The fuselage immediately lost its balance and swayed and fell. Leaving behind a puff of smoke, the helicopter crashed in an open flat field outside the woods.

Headley pushed open the door with great difficulty, coughing and smoke out of his body, despite the pain all over his body, and took a few steps and fell to the ground, taking a few sharp breaths. At this time, a group of soldiers armed with weapons appeared from the woods and quickly surrounded him.

The person in the middle walks more slowly. Headley sat up with his hands on his feet and looked at the man.

"Baird, it's you. You killed Ouin too, right? ”

"You're to blame yourself for being careless, that Oin is simply overwhelmed."

Baird looked at the defeated men in front of him, and his bloodless face showed a mad smile again.

"Hmph, it's just your luck."

"Maybe. But Talannat, no, Headley, your little fights didn't end up in the end. By the way, that maid was also instigated by me. ”

"I can guess that. Alright, don't talk nonsense, kill me. ”

"You're going to die. But until then, I have something to ask. ”

Baird stood closer, the smile on his face gone.

"Why did you kidnap that girl?"

"That's what you care about. Hmm......" Headley pursed his lips disdainfully, touched the beard on his chin, and pretended to think for a moment, "I've actually taken a fancy to her for a long time, and I want to have a golden house to hide Jiaojiao." ”

"Don't mess with me, Headley."

Baird stomped on Headley's ankle. Headley screamed in pain, but was still smiling.

"The 'Gopher' told me that your hospital has contracted almost all of the company's employees to perform physical examinations, and is actually taking the opportunity to collect physical data from those who have been examined, including that Luna Sarudo."

As he spoke, Baird stepped harder, creaking under his feet. Headley's face contorted, the pain unbearable.

"This kind of data is collected for the obvious purpose of human experimentation. But I don't think you have the conditions for a full experiment, and there must be a helper behind it. Say, "Who is it?" What else do you have for purpose? ”

The series of tortures didn't pry Hedley's mouth, and he didn't listen to Baird's words at all, and let out a snort of chuckles.

"Baird, I joined the Black Force for myself. Do you think that old man Blake is planning something, I don't know what I know? ”

"Sure enough, is your purpose also Istis?"

This sentence seemed to hit Headley's laugh, making him laugh out loud and unable to help himself. Laughing, he said sarcastically, "Istis? Amusing! That's why I don't bother to be with you at all. What era is it, and you still focus on that kind of old and unreliable thing! I'm telling you, Baird, Blake's plan is bound to fail. ”

Baird was silent for a moment, and Headley's words surprised him somewhat.

"That's why you betrayed us and joined forces with others?"

"Yes, for that reason, but ......"

Headley's badly wounded body moved, and the soldiers around him raised their guns.

"You don't want to know who they are."

He nimbly pulled out his pistol, and instead of pointing it at Baird, he pressed it against his temple and pulled the trigger.

Baird kicked Headley's body, and seeing that he was indeed dead, he took a few soldiers to search the wreckage of the helicopter, but found nothing but the wounded pilot. Baird, who was in a bad mood, shot the pilot to death and stood outside the wreckage again.

Although Headley was eliminated, Baird also understood that someone was robbing them of their business, and this opponent was stronger than expected, and it had to have a deterrent effect, which could make Headley insist on betraying them regardless of life or death.

The organizations and individuals who can do this, Baird has several options in mind, and each of them is enough to give him a headache.

"What's going on over there in Siralda?" He asked the soldiers beside him.

"Captain Karui failed to ambush Dimitt, and he was wounded, but the institute was successfully destroyed, which is about 10 o'clock in Arctic time."

"Three hours ago, what about Reigns?"

"Captain Rains is dealing with the University of Ceylon side and it doesn't seem to be going well."

Baird couldn't help but smile bitterly, it's really hard to do something these days. Originally, Dimmit and Akiyama City were troublesome enough, but today an unidentified rival has emerged. How to do the work in the future, you have to plan well.

"Our plan has deviated too much, and we must stop this situation by leaving for the Arctic Continent immediately."

"Are you going to support Captain Rains?"

"It doesn't matter over there, I'm worried that it's the Soul Detector and the information about Marthon's box that has leaked out, and it will be a problem if THeadley's employer preempts it again. All assemble and go. ”

======

Baird didn't notice that their every move was under the watchful eye of a pair of eyes. In another grove 400 meters away from them, a man in a dark green camouflage uniform stood straight on the branch of a tree, motionless, observing the crash site. He wears small binoculars in his eyes and communicators in his ears. Seeing Baird lead the team away, he pushed the telescope to his forehead.

"Headley killed himself, turtle." He said.

Another man's voice came over the communicator: "Suicide? It seems that he still has a bit of a backbone and didn't tell us about it. What about the rest? ”

Baird searched the helicopter used by Headley to escape, but found nothing, and the pilot was killed. In addition, communications were intercepted by the local police, who believed it to be an ordinary kidnapping. The kidnapped Luna Sarudo has been rescued, and her maid, Alex Sandel, has fallen to her death. Headley's remaining 18 men all surrendered shortly after he fled. Police are currently tracking the helicopter's location. ”

The man's voice fluctuated little, and he spoke it as if it were a typewriter. The people in the communicator were very satisfied.

"Wonderful, wonderful, so we don't need to do anything aftermath."

After a pause, the man added, "Don't you want to ask, why did I leave Headley to fend for herself, Fangs?" ”

"That's not my job."

"Oh, okay. It's okay here for Vide, you go to Oriyad in the Arctic Kingdom tomorrow. I guess the Black Force will hurry up and recover Martoun's box next, and we'll have to do something about it. It may be a bit difficult for the evil spirits alone, so you go there and wait for my instructions. ”

"Understood."

After receiving the order, the man leaped backwards and disappeared into the shadows of the woods.
