Although there were many accidents in this mission of the funeral society, as long as it was due to the sudden damage of the white blood cell controller and the last shot of Sal's sneak attack, it was very successful on the whole, at least they eliminated a huge threat and hidden danger through this battle, and when the mission was over, just ten minutes after Sal was shot, all the men quickly organized the evacuation, and skillfully asked the remaining soldiers to pursue, leaving no evidence that could allow GHQ to trace his stronghold.

It's just that this mission has also lost more than one-third of the funeral society's manpower, so that in the time after the mission is completed, the entire headquarters base is immersed in a faint sadness and desolation.

And in the next whole day, Sal has been lying in a coma in the intensive care unit of the base, until the next evening near the wee hours of the morning before waking up, everyone thinks he is because of the shooting, but maybe only he knows that in fact, this is all because of Shenwei's consumption of his spirit and energy, after all, to speed up the erasure of the death light ball that is tens of meters in size, the consumption required is too great.

"The food here is really bad."

Picking up a tissue and wiping his mouth, Sal handed the finished plate to Qi Qi, who had been guarding his side, and said with a smile and a grateful look at her.

As a result, the plate was put away, and he sat down and asked, "Are you feeling better?" ”

"It's fine."

Hearing this, Sal nodded and continued to ask, "Speaking of which, I haven't heard anyone talk about the situation after that, why did Sakura Manji appear there?" Is there still a snatch that attacked me? ”

"I heard that Sakura Manji was originally following the second supply group, because that group was all wiped out...... So he would be there, purely by chance. ”

I saw Qi pinching the corner of her clothes and whispering, obviously she didn't have much convincing about Chao Shenya's statement, but out of her feelings for Chao Shenya all along, she didn't seem to want to say the doubts in her heart yet, resulting in her even feeling like a thief now, as if she had done something wrong: "As for the gunman...... Because the scene was too chaotic at that time, and the other party was a heavy sniper rifle used at a long distance, and there were GHQ pursuers, it was ......"

"That's right."

Hearing this, Sal smiled indifferently, although he didn't believe what Chao Shenya said, but he didn't continue to ask, raised his hand and stretched his waist to get out of bed, and said with a smile: "I've been lying all day, and my bones are going to fall off...... Can you walk with me? ”

Wen Yanqi nodded, and then saw Sal's body swaying slightly after getting out of bed, looking weak and unhealed, after frowning and hesitating slightly, he raised his hand to hold his arm on one side, and walked out the door with him.

The headquarters of the funeral society occupies a large area, and all kinds of passages are criss-crossed, plus most of the people in the headquarters are gathered in the hall or stay in their rooms at this time, so Sal and Qi didn't meet a few living people along the way, and the two walked towards the outside of the base while chatting - because Sal said that he wanted to relax, so Qi planned to take him to the place where he often went alone at night, which was not underneath, but the top floor of a building disguised as an abandoned building. An empty hall full of floor-to-ceiling windows is a great place to watch the night view.

During the conversation with Qi, Sal learned that because of his prior communication with the Boo World, that guy did not appear in the base of this mission, so Chao Shenya did not exchange the 'innocence' of Sakura Manji from the Boo World at the cost of solving white blood cells as in the original book, and let him return to the campus, but completely tied him to death in the funeral society and became a real terrorist.

And the two daughters of Arisa and Masaho Yuanchuan are also under house arrest here, these two daughters are not bad, and they don't show the slightest idea of wanting to run away or report to the outside, during which they also told Chao Shenya twice that they want to visit Sal, just to prevent them from holding a grudge against him and taking advantage of his coma to do something, Chao Shenya still flatly refused.

Listening and pondering, Sal and Qi soon arrived at their destination.

Looking at the starlight outside the window and the brightly lit city in the distance, Sal also suddenly felt that the worries that had accumulated in his chest had been reduced a lot, and he walked to the window and sat side by side on the ground with his little hand.

As if also infected by the quiet atmosphere at the moment, although Qi was suddenly held by Sal's hand, he did not resist, so obediently knelt beside Sal, and clinged to him - somehow, Ping Suri also had an unconscious rejection of others, even Chao Shenya, but she did not feel the slightest discomfort at this time, but felt that Sal had been exuding some kind of warm and sunny breath, which made her feel very comfortable, so she sat quietly for a while, After all, he slowly opened his mouth and sang a song.

Sal was also very satisfied with Qi's well-behavedness, he looked at the city in the distance, and at the same time enjoyed the beautiful singing of Qi, and his heart unconsciously drifted back to the earth, floating back to the main space of Nirvana......

It wasn't until the end of the song that Sal spoke softly, turned to Qi with a warm smile and said, "Pray, I want to ask you a question." ”

"Yes."

Qi seemed to be in a good mood, and raised his hand to brush the strand of pink satin-like hair on his chest behind him.

"If one day I and Chao Shenya can only live one, who will you choose?"

Hearing this, Yanqi's body shook, and then the previous relaxed look faded instantly, and after thinking about it for a while, she raised her pretty little face again, and asked in a low voice with a hint of hope, "It must be...... Do you want it? ”

Sal's expression did not change in the slightest, and the warm smile on his face was still there: "Definitely." ”

Immediately afterwards, he saw that Qi's brows were obviously furrowed, and he said with some difficulty: "I...... I don't know. ”

Although a little disappointed, her answer did not surprise Sal, and he smiled faintly and turned his head back to admire the night, as if the two had never talked about it before.

"Thrall."

After a full ten minutes, Qi Cai spoke again to break the calm at this time and said, "If you have to, it will really be that time...... Can...... Don't let me know beforehand? ”

The previous smile on his face had long since disappeared, and he raised his hand to compare the distant city in the palm of his hand, and Sal nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Seeing him like this, Qi's heart was not happy, and just when she wanted to make up for something, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind the two: "Sal, pray." ”

Hearing the sound, Sal and Qi turned their heads at the same time, only to find that it was Ayase who came behind them in a wheelchair, most of her cheeks were covered by shadows, and she couldn't see her original expression, and before the two of them could ask something, she continued to speak: "Sal, do you have time?" I have something...... Would like to talk to you alone. ”……

"What the hell is going on? It's so nervous. ”

Ten minutes later, Sal followed Ayase to another hidden room in the base, which was a little-used storeroom, even farther away from the center than the previous hall, and along the way, Ayase was silent except for the two words she had said to him at the beginning, which was indeed a bit strange according to her original surname.

Without turning on the light, Ayase listened to Sal's question, first sighed lowly, then turned the armrest of the wheelchair to the window, looked at the starry sky outside the window and was silent for a long time before he said with difficulty: "When the mission is almost over...... I saw something. ”

Hearing this, Sal's face gradually became serious: "You say." ”

“…… Actually, I shouldn't have said it at all, but now you are obviously our partner, but he ......" After finishing speaking, I saw Ayase sigh and smile bitterly: "My conscience has been forcing me to surrender...... I kept convincing myself that I was dazzled at the time, and even when I came back, I didn't notice anything unusual, I ...... I don't know what to do! ”

Although Ayase's words still didn't say anything clearly, Sal had a rough guess in his heart...... No, it's not so much a guess as it is a proof that its previous conjecture is more accurate!

Then, just a moment of thought in his mind, Sal blurted out, "Did you see the guy who shot me?" ”

Hearing this, Ayase's eyes darkened, and he nodded a little tremblingly, but he heard Sal smile and continued: "Yes...... Sick to the gods? ”

Ayase was taken aback: "How do you know!?" ”

"Hehe, this guy is plotting against me more than once."

Ignoring her look of surprise, Sal smiled and continued, "If I'm right, this guy destroyed the white blood cell controller in the first place, so that I could personally block the falling satellites and the Deathlight, and then kill me when I was at my weakest...... Hmph, I have to say, this guy is adventurous enough, and he's not afraid that I didn't block it at the time, and let the dead light fall and make everyone play together. ”

Hearing this, Ayase was about to subconsciously retort and make a gesture to speak, but remembered the scene he had witnessed before, and after rolling his throat a few times, he asked with difficulty: "At that time, I was driving the mecha and the GHQ side to fight, because the propulsion device was damaged in the battle, and I could only move slowly by relying on pulleys, and I found Ya six hundred meters away from the terrace where you were at the time, when he had just thrown a sniper-like thing into the river...... But...... Why did he do it? ”

"For the sake of power."

Sal took two steps forward, raised his right hand, spread the back of his hand flat in front of Ayase and said, "He has always wanted to regain the power of the Void, and the reason why Sakura Manji appeared there is also a secret gesture from him...... Or it was directly deceived, after all, with Sakura Manji's surname, he wouldn't cooperate with him to do such a dirty deed. ”

"Nonsense! If Ya wanted to take away the Void, he would have done it in the first place! Why did they recruit you into the organization? ”

Then, Ayase finally retorted unwillingly: "I know who Ya is! He couldn't have done such a thing for such a purpose!! ”

"Ridiculous!"

Hearing this, Sal smiled contemptuously and said, "If you believe him so much, then why did you call me to such a place to tell me such a thing now?" ”

This sentence completely blocked Ayase's next words in her throat.

In fact, she herself knows that the previous refutation was just to cover up and ** the unwillingness and disappointment in her heart.

"He didn't dare to attack me at first, not because he was upright, but because he wasn't sure! Maybe he saw it at that time, if an ordinary person just relied on the power of the void, it would be impossible to exert that level of power...... So he can only absorb me and find another opportunity to design and attack me when I am weakest! This time, he was afraid that he would lose the hearts and minds of the people by letting you know about his plan, so he asked Sakura Manji to wait near me, and after he hit me in the arm with a sniper rifle, he would order Sakura Manji to accept the power stored in my arm......"

"But because my physical strength is a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary people! So that shot didn't have the effect that the guy expected in advance...... As for why he chose Sakura Manji to inherit my power, I think it's because he is careful and simple-minded, easy to control, and much easier to deal with than me, and even if he doesn't capture the void himself, he will have one more free thug...... It's not like I'm a ticking time bomb in his eyes. ”

By the time Sal finished speaking, Ayase's eyes had completely lost their brilliance, although she had already had a guess when she saw Chao Shenya sell the stolen goods, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't believe that the man she had always believed in and relied on would actually do this kind of thing that was contrary to his words and deeds.

"I should ...... What to do? ”

It wasn't until a long time later that Ayase whispered with a slight cry, covering her cheeks with her hands, looking helpless, but before her tears could really remain, she was interrupted by Sal's words.

"Don't do anything."

I saw Sal smile indifferently: "You just need to wait until a certain day, when I no longer plan to suffer this anger, and then follow his command to crusade against me." (To be continued.) )
