Meanwhile, in Tokyo's Kurome district, somewhere in an alley. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Whew." The sound of heavy breathing echoed in the dark alley with the same heavy footsteps, and Naoto Sakurai stopped against the wall next to him, leaning against the wall with one hand and holding his knee with the other, bending down and inhaling the fresh air in large gulps, while protruding the turbid air in his lungs. Naoto Sakurai felt that his lungs were about to explode, he had never run such a long distance, causing Naoto Sakurai to be weak all over his body now, and his legs were trembling slightly, no matter how Naoto Sakurai gave the order for these legs, but he just couldn't take a step again.

"I can't help it." Sakurai grinned as if self-deprecatingly, took out the loaded whispered version of the "Magnon" pistol in his arms, withdrew the magazine to check the remaining tranquilizer in it, and then clicked the magazine back into the grip of the pistol, which was a black shadow cast on the ground of the alley from the entrance of the alley.

"Is that all?" The man behind Naoto Sakurai spoke standard Japanese pronunciation and looked at Naoto Sakurai with a slight hint of mockery. Naoto Sakurai dared to conclude that he could go to school to teach as long as he wanted, and with such a standard pronunciation, he would definitely be very sought-after, but the person behind Naoto Sakurai himself was definitely not a harmless profession like a teacher.

"It's still early." Naoto Sakurai barely straightened up, and his body shook slightly twice because of some detachment, but with superhuman perseverance, Naoto Sakurai still stood up straight in front of him. According to Ye Zifeng's famous words, you must not show that you are weak in front of your enemies, even if you have a breath left, you must pretend that you are very fierce and want to pull him to the end together. Although Ye Zifeng is always out of tune in the fleet, every serious word he says can be edited and published.

"It's best this way, the prey that is powerless to resist is not even as good as a piece of in my eyes." The person behind Naoto Sakurai spoke again, and at the same time, the sound of a pistol loading came from behind Naoto Sakurai, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, and he insisted on the fatigue that penetrated his mind, and slowly turned around. The first thing Naoto Sakurai did after turning around was not to raise the arm holding the gun and point the muzzle of the gun at the center of the opponent's eyebrows, but to glance at the pistol held in the opponent's hand first. The earthy yellow one is earthy yellow except for the sleeve, and the front of the pistol trigger retainer, which is about 20 centimeters long, is also equipped with an accessory similar to an infrared laser.

"HK45, I'm familiar with it." Sakurai Naoto muttered, "But you know, even if I'm tired, but well-trained is well-trained, I've never been in the habit of being humble, and I can completely dodge your bullets at this distance, after all, the bullet is only 800 meters per second." And your HK45 is just a bullet, and my 'Magnon'. Naoto Sakurai raised the McGnon pistol in his hand and shook it, "There are twenty-four tranquilizer rounds in the magazine, which is twice as many as you." ”

"Then it seems that you have miscalculated, I only have eight rounds in my magazine, and this is not a HK45, but its compact type HK45C." The person on the other side also shook the pistol in his hand, correcting Naoto Sakurai's mistake while raising his arm, "First shot." ”

Without any more words, the person on the other side didn't even give a warning, and the trigger was pulled in an instant, and a high-speed rotating brass bullet shot at the bridge of Sakurai's nose at a high speed. But Sakurai Naoto really didn't brag about himself, and the word well-trained was really inappropriate to use on him, he shook the pistol in the assassin's hand was already aware of it, and the body had begun to react, and then a sudden shot was found five seconds earlier under the judgment of Sakurai Naoto, Sakurai Naoto made a timely move, his left shoulder was immediately retracted, and the body above the waist naturally turned to the left, and the extremely lethal bullet flew in front of Sakurai Naoto like this, A scorching air stream instantly burned the skin on the bridge of Sakurai's nose. But Naoto Sakurai didn't have time to deal with such minor injuries, and when Naoto Sakurai dodged the first bullet, the assassin's muzzle was pointed at Naoto Sakurai again and the trigger was pulled.

Sakurai Naoto can't fight back but he won't be hit by a bullet in the temple like this, under the threat of death, people can always stimulate their potential, the fatigue disappears in an instant, Sakurai Naoto seems to have endless power at this time, he turned his body to the assassin again, and at the same time kicked the ground with his right foot, his body flew out backwards like the left side, and the bullet that had just arrived tore a hole in Sakurai's shirt. The opportunity to counterattack finally came, Sakurai Naoto quickly raised his arm when he was in the air, aimed the muzzle at the assassin's chest, continuously pulled the trigger, and two red anesthetic ejection chambers, this kind of non-lethal bullet made of hard plastic, the speed of ejection is much smaller than the disembowel speed of metal solid bullets, even Naoto Sakurai can easily dodge live ammunition, how can the person who used to assassinate him not be able to dodge such a slow-flying anesthetic bullet? Just a step to the side, the two tranquilizer bullets didn't even wipe the assassin's clothes, and they were easily dodged. Naoto Sakurai rolled after landing on the ground, quickly stood up, pulled the trigger again, and another bullet flew out, but it was also easily dodged by the assassin.

"Damn, this damn bullet." Naoto Sakurai cursed in a low voice, and even wanted to throw away the unit price of this tranquilizer bullet, but he only brought this one magazine with him when he went out, that is to say, these are the only weapons he can use against the assassin now, throw away the bullets, and the pistol in his hand has become a toy, which has no effect.

"What, don't you have the strength? Can't even pull the trigger? The assassin walked slowly back to the entrance of the alley and looked contemptuously at Naoto Sakurai, who was slightly gasping, but it should be because of the reflection, Naoto Sakurai couldn't see the man's face clearly, and the front of the whole person was pitch black.

"Your 'shadows' are really haunting, I thought my actions five years ago would wipe you out, but I didn't expect you to resurrect." Naoto Sakurai lowered the arm holding the gun, "You're cockroaches, aren't you?" ”

"You're a cockroach!" The man was a little angry when he heard Naoto Sakurai's ridicule, not because Naoto Sakurai said that he was a cockroach, but because Naoto Sakurai's heart was the biggest shame he had borne as a "shadow". This organization, which for some unknown reason had been antagonistic to the Admiralty, first appeared in the Admiralty's sight in August 1967, ten years after the Admiralty was founded. A member of the Admiralty who was on leave was killed in his own home, and after the police intervened, they could not find a single flaw because the perpetrator's methods were too meticulous, and then it was recorded, and then it was dismissed. However, this incident caused quite a stir among the top echelons of the Admiralty at the time, and at the same time, this case became the first case accepted by the Security Council since its establishment. At the beginning of the period, the Security Council's investigation did not go well, and in the end, a message from the "shadow" was examined on the wall with a luminol reagent in the bicycle shed downstairs of the slain member's house: "I am from the darkness, hidden in the darkness." Since then, the Admiralty has referred to this organization as the "Shadow". At first, the Admiralty thought it was just one person who had committed the crime, but then two killings occurred on opposite sides of the globe at the same time, which made the Admiralty realize that there was an organization that was working against them. Until 1991, a total of 174 members of the Admiralty had died in the assassination of the "Shadow", and the Admiralty could not bear such a situation, so the Admiralty held its first board meeting and formulated the "Sea Lion Plan" for an all-out war against the "Shadow". The results of the operation were very satisfactory, although 12 members of the Admiralty were killed in this operation, but the Admiralty Security Council destroyed a total of 82 "Shadow Strongholds" all over the world, killing 1,286 "Shadow" members, such a result should be very satisfactory, but the strange thing is that in the Admiralty Security Council's "Sea Lion Project" operation, not a single "Shadow" was captured, which also made the "Shadow" more and more mysterious. But fortunately, after this "Sea Lion Project", "Shadow" disappeared for ten years, until the eighth battle to defend the solar system in 2000, "Shadow" revealed his figure again. The forbearance of these ten years is probably nothing in the eyes of advanced strategists, at most it is to recharge their energy and taste their courage, and during this period the Admiralty has no further action, but this matter is a great shame in the eyes of all the "shadows", a race that has been living in the dark has been broken by the opponent on the bright side, such a shame "shadow" must not be endured.

"Shadow" is about to lose his mind, and at this time he no longer enjoys the game of hunters and prey, "Shadow" only wants to quickly deal with the Admiralty in front of him. The gun was quickly disarmed, and the trigger was pulled continuously, and three soft sounds followed, followed by three brass bullets that were rapidly discharged. However, Sakurai Naoto naturally can't sit still, when the "Shadow" just raised his arm, he had already pulled out his legs and rushed towards the "Shadow", one left and one right to dodge two bullets, this is Sakurai Naoto has come to the "Shadow", a bow and the third bullet also grazed Sakurai Naoto's scalp and flew by, the crisis was temporarily lifted, Sakurai Naoto quickly raised his hand to put the pistol against the belly of the "Shadow", and at the same time pulled the trigger.

"What!" Even if the anesthetic bullet made of hard plastic is a non-lethal bullet, if fired at such a close distance, it will inevitably cause some flesh wounds to the person who is shot, even if it will not be fatal, but it is inevitable that it will hurt a few times. The momentum of Naoto Sakurai's run forward causes Naoto Sakurai to go to the ground with Shadow.

In a hurry, the "Shadow", who had been calm, blindly pulled the trigger, and three more bullets were fired, but the unaimed pistol naturally missed the target, not to mention that the arm of the "Shadow" had subconsciously risen when he fell back. Naoto Sakurai fell heavily to the ground holding the "Shadow", of course, Naoto Sakurai was pressing the "Shadow" under him, so he didn't fall too hard, but the current situation of the "Shadow" is not too optimistic. Although there was no fracture, the slamming of the back of the head on the ground also caused a slight concussion to the "Shadow", and when the plastic shell of the anesthetic bomb shattered, the fast-acting anesthetic machine inside penetrated deep into the skin to produce the anesthetic effect. It looks like at this point, the winner is decided.

Naoto Sakurai got up from the ground, patted off the dust on his body first, and then looked at the "shadow" who fell to the ground with his body twitching slightly: "Admit defeat, the people of the Security Council will arrive in five minutes." And even if you still want to resist, you won't have any bullets in your gun. ”

"Who said, there is no ・・・・・・" The "Shadow", which had been drawn from the ground, suddenly raised its upper body, and the muzzle of the pistol was almost instantaneously pointed at Naoto Sakurai's heart.

"What." Naoto Sakurai was shocked, and his instinctive reaction was that he immediately jumped to the side, but the bullet from the pistol that had already pulled the trigger still entered Naoto Sakurai's body. The right chest shot through the right lung shattered the shoulder blade, and the bullet was deep into the shoulder blade. The strong momentum made Naoto Sakurai's body fall backwards in mid-air, and then fell heavily to the ground, blood kept gushing out from the wound of the gunshot, "How could it be ・・・・・・" Naoto Sakurai already felt that his breathing was a little unsmooth, so he tried to suck air into his lungs, but the blood that overflowed from his throat blocked the trachea, making Naoto Sakurai unable to inhale oxygen into his lungs no matter how hard he tried.

"Want to know why?" After the blow, the "Shadow" also had no strength to resist the anesthetic, so he lay on his back on the ground, and muttered unconsciously, "It's very simple・・・・・・ pistol, after loading, press a bullet into the magazine, and you can ・・・・・・" "Shadow" finally fainted deeply, but the difference is that the "Shadow" coma is temporary, and it will wake up after five hours, while Sakurai Naoto's coma is fatal, if you don't get rescue within fifteen minutes, Naoto Sakurai would die from blood loss and suffocation.

The two of them were unconscious at the mouth of the alley, which few people passed, and the alley once again returned to its former peace and calm, but the puddle of blood under Naoto Sakurai looked a little dazzling under the rays of the setting sun.

"This is a message from the Admiralty Security Council, and after confirmation, the assassin is indeed Naoto Sakurai." Ye Kexin looked at Ye Zifeng, who was sitting on the bed looking at the report with a serious face, with an extremely solemn face, "When the emergency response team of the Security Council arrived at the scene, Naoto Sakurai had already stopped his heartbeat, and after the hospital's best efforts, this was the recovery of his heartbeat, but the heart stopped beating for three minutes, and his brain function was slightly impaired, and the broken shoulder blades had to wait for Naoto Sakurai's wound to fully recover before he could always make titanium alloy bones." According to the hospital's report, it will take at least a year for Naoto Sakurai to recover. ”

"A year." Ye Zifeng handed the report in his hand to Ye Shi on the side, and let out a long sigh, "Then is there a candidate for his position?" ”

"The fleet has not yet been drawn up, but even if it is drawn up, it will still have to be signed by your hand in the end, but you are more worried about one thing. It's just that you don't have any opinion on this incident? Ye Kexin stared at Ye Zifeng, as if he was blaming Ye Zifeng for being too indifferent to this matter.

"There are ideas, of course I have ideas." Ye Zifeng immediately said, "But what if I have an idea." Even if I could put down the trial in four days, what would be the use of running to Tokyo now? What's the use of me holding an assault rifle and having the determination to wipe out the Shadow's branch in Tokyo? I don't have the slightest clue, and this matter is not under my jurisdiction, even if my authority is large enough to ask for command in my hands, so that Naoto Sakurai can leave and wake up? It's already happened, don't think about it anymore, the more you think about it, the more sad it becomes. ”

Ye Kexin was silent for a moment after listening, and then lowered her head slightly, her voice a little low: "Do you know why Naoto Sakurai went out?" ”

"How do I know that, that's his freedom." Ye Zifeng said, "It may be that there have been some changes in Tokyo this year, and he wants to go out・・・・・・"

"Not really!" , Ye Zifeng didn't finish speaking, Ye Kexin looked up at Ye Zifeng sharply and let out a loud roar in his mouth. The following words were suddenly held back, making Ye Zifeng stunned.

"How do you know that he's not ・・・・・・"

This time, Ye Zifeng still didn't finish speaking.

"Not really. He's out for you! Ye Kexin's eyes were slightly moist, "Don't you know how worried you are?" He has so many things in his heart, but he never tells us. What are we in your eyes? Can't you tell strangers about suffering? It was because I was afraid that you would be crushed by these things that I asked Naoto Sakurai to go out and help you find some information, he was assassinated and almost died, and you didn't care so much. ”

"For me・・・・・・" Ye Zifeng repeated Ye Kexin's words, and lowered his head slightly, "You actually said it was for me." ”

"For you, of course! How else would it ・・・・・・?"

"You said it was for me!" Ye Zifeng also shouted at Ye Kexin. This was the first time in his life that he yelled at Ye Kexin, "If it's for me, you shouldn't let him out, knowing that the 'Shadow' has been active recently, even you who have been staying in the academy have been on top of the 'Shadow', so how can someone like him who is always on a business trip not be targeted!" Said it was for me, which one wasn't looking for me to do something, knowing that there were enough things, and there was nothing to do, and this had just returned to Earth without two days of effort, and he encountered two assassinations, and the target was obvious, and there was one that almost succeeded. The more Ye Zifeng spoke, the more angry he became, "There are so many people dead in space, I don't know what to do with it now, and the fleet says that it will take no more than a year and a half just to salvage the corpses." Naoto Sakurai has been working with me for a year, so that as soon as the run-in period is over, as soon as there is a little tacit understanding, he will be seriously injured, and if the pilgrims invade again during this period, what will I do? You let me command an entire fleet by myself? Naoto Sakurai is my lieutenant, and after I left the position, he was the first in line, which means that his talent is not below me, and the fleet has lost such a capable person all of a sudden. ”

"・・・・・・" Ye Kexin was speechless, the expressions on his face began to be tangled, and the tears in his eyes gathered into teardrops and rolled down the corners of his eyes. Ye Shi hurriedly left the report, stepped forward to hug Ye Kexin, and said dissatisfiedly to Ye Zifeng.

"Just say a few words, go quickly."

After Ye Zifeng's reproach, his depressed mood was not relieved much, as Ye Kexin said that there were too many things that he was depressed in his heart. But even so, Ye Zifeng was still a little sober, and after thinking about the whole thing carefully, he also felt that his words were a bit excessive, but as soon as he said it, he would never take it back This is Ye Zifeng's character. He got up and glanced at Ye Kexin, who was sobbing in Ye Shi's arms, and Ye Shi, who was not good-looking, frowned slightly, he couldn't tell what kind of mood he had in his heart, and the expression on his face became complicated, he looked a little afraid in the face of Ye Shi, and wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it no matter how hard he tried, Ye Zifeng had to give up. After glancing at the second daughter again, he turned around and left the room, and then left the house.

Ye Zifeng simply wanted to distract himself, his mood was not too good, so many things had happened in just ten days, first the thirteenth invasion of the pilgrims, and then the day of his own judgment, Ye Kexin was attacked on the road, Naoto Sakurai was assassinated and seriously injured, these things have made Ye Zifeng a little insane, if he doesn't come out to relax, he will really be pressed faster, and there is, although Ye Zifeng has tried his best not to think about Yuri's affairs, but listen to Alfred said, Yuri's funeral was arranged ten days later, Ye Zifeng happened to be free and did not arrange it, even if he lost all his duties on the judgment day, but his authority would still not be deprived, and he could still go to Yuri's funeral, this was not Ye Zifeng's whim, but Ye Zifeng sincerely wanted to send Yuri on his last journey, even if it was just listening to the priest from a distance after reading the vague funeral words, Ye Zifeng had a heart.

"Really, hey~" Ye Zifeng walked out of the unit door, sighed, glanced at the garage door on the side, gave up the idea of driving, and walked out of the iron gate of the community.

Am I doing something wrong? She must be very sad to talk to her sister like this, right? Shouldn't I go back and apologize? Ye Zifeng has been thinking about this in his heart.

Remove the second question, don't you see that sister, she is very sad now, you have been protecting you for so many years, but you said such excessive things to him, don't you feel ashamed? Don't hesitate, go back and apologize to her. A voice sounded in Ye Zifeng's mind, and he kept advising Ye Zifeng to go home and apologize to Ye Kexin.

No, if it weren't for my sister, how could Naoto Sakurai get hurt, and what you said is the truth, even if it's a bit excessive, but as long as my sister thinks about it carefully, she will understand. Another voice disagreed.

How can you figure it out, Ye Zifeng, you don't think that a girl will think about the content of what the other party said after being said so excessively by others, I guess my sister didn't listen to what you said, since you started shouting at her, she was already very sad, how could she continue to listen.

Why not, my sister is not the person you imagined, on the surface she is very arrogant, but in fact her mind is still very meticulous, and she will not lose her judgment because of a few angry shouts.

But my sister is very sad・・・・・・

"Enough", Ye Zifeng stopped suddenly, and let out a low roar that did not let these two voices continue, and these two voices seemed to understand Ye Zifeng's intentions, and disappeared immediately. And Ye Zifeng, who suddenly stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, attracted passers-by to watch, a woman who was about to pass by Ye Zifeng with a child saw Ye Zifeng's strange behavior, and immediately pulled the child to take a detour, and the child also stared at Ye Zifeng standing in the middle of the road with a pair of curious big eyes looking at Ye Zifeng and Ye Zifeng staring at each other, and there was even a smile on his innocent face. Ye Zifeng was even more moved by this smile, and unconsciously put on a smiling face, and the woman saw Ye Zifeng smile slightly, pulled the child to speed up his pace, and left quickly.

"Hey~" Ye Zifeng sighed again, this is no longer known to be the first sigh of Ye Zifeng after arriving on the earth, he shook his head, and continued to walk forward, this is a pair of hands suddenly wrapped around Ye Zifeng's eyes from behind, Ye Zifeng trembled, and just wanted to pull out the pistol in his arms, but he heard the person behind Ye Zifeng blindfold said softly to Ye Zifeng in a sweet voice.

"Guess who I am?"

After Ye Zifeng heard it, he smiled slightly and put down the hand that wanted to take out the pistol.

"You're my angel." Ye Zifeng also said softly.
