Chapter 108: Rosebud (II)
“…… The evacuation of refugees in Buenos Aires continues, and according to the latest information we have received, the illegal gang known as the 'Argentine Natural Science Council' may even be in possession of some highly lethal weapons of mass destruction, and a spokesman for the Autonomous Union of Buenos Aires said that their evacuation convoy for humanitarian relief was attacked by illegal gangs. According to relevant sources, there may be a high-level cadre of the Eye of Unity who is currently in the theater, and this person is likely to be the recently dismissed South American division operations commander Helis? Ivanova, but the news has yet to be confirmed......"

Helis had a long dream
In her dreams was one of the few corridors she had in her memories of the past.
The hallway is not a beautiful view, with a monotonous silver ceiling and white walls, and the occasional flash of an electronic door that has passed through countless times.
This is the childhood that Helis remembers as she remembers.
But that's it, a childhood of metal, machinery, monitors, and computers without toys, companions, or even the natural scent of birds and flowers, is one of the few things she would feel warm.
In this way, in the endless corridor, all the way forward, those who have seen it, those who have not seen it, walk past themselves, those friendly cleaning machine qì people; Those who are polite to the medical machine; Those fierce guards are ...... As usual, they all walked around themselves.
And the girl herself is still so slow. Walking slowly.
Because she knew that she would be able to see the man as soon as she reached the end—although the first thing Helis saw was her back every time, but soon, the man would turn around and pick herself up, allowing her diminutive self to see the scenery that she couldn't normally see.
The man's name was Father.
But Helis knew that she had never walked down this hallway alone.
So, she knew it was all a dream.
Including the back of that man's majesty. Warm palms. And a smile that has been blurred.

"Uhhh
A sharp pain made Helis twitch, and the girl let out a muffled snort, and when she opened her eyes, she was greeted by a landscape that she was all too familiar with.
This is in your own studio.
The wound still hurts a little. But the biggest pain comes from the lower back. But the sharp pain made her feel more reassuring - more than she had felt when she had been poisoned.
"Need a little painkiller? I don't have much medical knowledge. I'm afraid that something will happen to you with too much medicine at once. ”
A somewhat familiar voice came, and Helis suddenly rolled over and turned into a sitting position, but it tugged at the wound. The pain caused her to convulse again, like a fish out of water.
"Don't worry, I'm not hostile," Ling Yu walked to a position where Helis could see, raised his hands above his head, then turned his head, his gaze fell on the box next to him, "Do you need me to get you some painkillers?" ”
Before Ling Yu finished speaking, a roar of a turbofan rang out, and a drone slowly flew up from the shelf next to it, flew into the medicine box, rummaged through it with a small manipulator, found a syringe, and then slowly flew above Helis and handed the syringe to the girl.
At the same time, another drone with a machine gun was parked behind Ling Yu - though both knew that the vigilance might be more symbolic.
"You were hunted down, I touched you, and I saved you," Ling Yu shook his head, explained the current situation in the shortest way, and then added the intention, "I admit that I came to you, you should know why I came, but it doesn't matter, I want to know the cause and effect of your being hunted down now, because the chasing soldiers are likely to come soon, you have no combat effectiveness, I am your only hope, I will build yì We cooperate, what do you think?" ”
Ling Yu didn't know why he was proposing this - well, he just didn't want to admit it, if it wasn't for intelligence reasons, he didn't want to see this kid die here.
"Teacher ......"
In the next second, a voice came out, causing Ling Yu to be directly stunned in place.
Herris actually spoke, although it was only two simple words, but it was enough to surprise Ling Yu.
But like the sadness on his face, these two syllables were also fleeting, and in the next second, Helis's face was expressionless again, only his mouth slightly open, obviously still tormented by the pain.
I don't know why...... Mr. Oscar came here as soon as the gang conflict began...... And then suddenly sneaked up on me...... I don't know what's going on.
A mechanical arm with a display screen flipped out of the edge of the console, and then several other arms grabbed Helis by the shoulders and adjusted her sitting position.
"It doesn't make sense, why attack you? You are one of the seven TFs of the ACA, an ace major general. Ling Yu clasped his hands in front of his chest, very incomprehensible.
I'm the fifth...... Teacher...... Oscar is third. Helis drew a helpless smile on the monitor, this was the first time Ling Yu had seen Helis express his feelings in such a strange way, so he was a little surprised.
"Is the person who attacked you your teacher......" Ling Yu's brows tightened again, Helis didn't know what he was thinking, but he felt a dangerous aura emanating from the man in front of him.
Yes...... All my combat skills...... He taught me everything...... He is a TF of the Department of Mechanics...... Very strong.
"Don't talk about that." Ling Yu shook his hand and closed his eyes, "I'm not interested in your ACA's infighting...... But I'm going to take you away. ”
Helis didn't speak, still sitting blankly, but a surprised expression appeared on the screen.
"Don't you want to sit here and die?" Ling Yu smiled coldly, "I know you still think that you are a member of the ACA, with the rank of major general, but you touch the wound on your back. Look at the Byrensin-stained spleen I cut out for you, and wonder if your teacher thinks you're still a member of the ACA. ”
Helis's expression finally changed slightly, although he only frowned, but Ling Yu already had some confidence in his heart.
"Don't think about escaping, let's not talk about where you can run in South America in the ACA, listen to the intensity of the battle outside, I'm afraid it will continue until dawn, and the intervention of the knights will not arrive until after the armistice, so the only thing you can do is cooperate with me...... Let me get you out of here. ”
Why?
This time, Helis didn't hesitate. Instead, he briefly asked his own questions.
"Do you want to hear the truth or lie?" Ling Yu smiled softly. However, instead of giving Helis a chance to choose, he gave a direct answer, "If it's a lie, I need information you know about Char's attack plan." ”
What is the truth?
"Truth...... Probably because I'm not mature enough. ”
Ling Yu lowered his head. Shaking his head helplessly and smiling. He shook his hand. In the mezzanine behind the jacket, the file bag found from the box was lying quietly.
Ling Yu was still thinking about a suitable time to tell Sù Heris the truth, but not now. Probably never needed - if Herris could leave the ACA with him.
After all, the cruelest thing is never a lie, but the truth.
By the way, these medicines...... And this box, where did you find it?
Suddenly, Helis "spoke". As if to arouse the attention of Ling Yu, who was a little distracted, the electronic screen also emitted a crisp ticking sound.
"In the ruins around here," Ling Yu shook his head, "I know it's a bit strange to find this thing, but if you think about it from another angle, someone would have known that you were going to be murdered, and it would make sense to save it around here." ”
"By the way, don't you still have a guy next to you? It's called...... Ren Xiu, right? Ling Yu suddenly remembered the young man he had met in Rio, and turned to ask, "What about him?" By the way, and what about your guards? Is there any reliable person who can use it now? It's good to get in touch......"
Before the words fell, Helis froze in place, the girl closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and the text appeared on the screen again.
Ren Xiu...... He's dead.
He was also present when Oscar attacked me and was killed by Oscar...... As for the Guards...... I've been dismissed, what are the guards.
Helis closed her eyes, as if to prevent Ling Yu from seeing her gaze, but from the small wry smile at the end of the sentence, Ling Yu seemed to read the girl's helplessness.
"You've been here for so long......" Ling Yu gritted his teeth, and then realized that it was not appropriate for him to say this now, so he sighed and shook his head, "It seems that you have no reason to refuse to cooperate with me." ”
All right. Helis nodded.
But just by escaping South America, you can't restrict my freedom.
"I don't have the habit of abducting and selling children, and besides, I was born and died like this, and I don't want you to stay by my side," Ling Yu smiled lightly and shrugged, "Anyway, let's get out first!" ”
"You can go, she must stay."
A voice suddenly came from outside the door, followed by a loud bang, and the studio door flew towards Helis.
A yellow knife flashed, and the black figure instantly blocked in front of Helis, and the shimmering dagger cut the metal door panel in two, and through the air heated by the dagger's high temperature, Ling Yu's pupils reflected the man in a simple suit.
"Good skills," the man smiled lightly, then tightened the white gloves on his hand and bowed slightly, "Before you start, may I say a few words?" ”
"You've already done it." Ling Yu placed the shimmering dagger across his chest, pressed his right hand on the mysterious pistol in the holster of his right leg, glanced at the steel gate that had turned in half, and smiled coldly, "Or do you find that you are not the opponent of the two of us, and you want to fight the mouth cannon?" ”
"Two people? I'm sorry, Mr. Ling Yu, I really don't think my students still have the strength to ...... Put on those power boots. Oscar raised his hand and pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, then shook his head, "I just wanted to finish her out sooner, I've missed a dinner." ”
"So her value to you is only a little more important than a dinner," Ling Yu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "You asked questions, then I also have two questions." ”
"If that keeps you from meddling in this matter," Oscar politely held out his hand and made a "please" gesture, "I'll listen." ”
"First, is Helis your student?" Ling Yu stretched out a finger and shook it gently.
"That's right, she's my best student, not one of them," Oscar nodded slightly, "It was I who taught her fighting skills, including those boots, which were also excavated from this ruin with my help." ”
"That's ......" Ling Yu nodded and stretched out his second finger, "That means you're the one who let her join the army?" ”
"To be exact, so," Oscar nodded again, "I think she'll have a better performance on the battlefield than using brain waves to process Wen Jiàn in the rear." ”
"I see." Ling Yu didn't nod this time, just spoke in a low voice.
And in the next second, the black youth disappeared in place!
Ling Yu, who was at full speed, punched Oscar in the face at the moment before the other party could react, and the young man in the suit who was sent out in a spiral shape didn't have time to react, and was kicked on the wall of the studio by Ling Yu, who had caught up!
"I'm sorry, dear Mr. Oscar." Ling Yu smiled coldly, and even made Helis not far behind him shiver slightly-the last time Ling Yu showed this kind of expression, it was after Brazil learned about Char's matter, Heliston Guò Drone had seen this expression, but he didn't expect this smile to be accompanied by such a heavy murderous aura.
"I'm afraid I won't just leave," Ling Yu shrugged, the dagger swirled in his hand before being inserted back into the scabbard behind his back, Ling Yu pinched his knuckles, his smile exuding a suffocating temperature, "Just like I won't let you go." ”
"Alas, why should people be so stubborn." Oscar, who had been raided, stood up from the rubble, glanced at his torn suit, sighed, and then removed his twisted glasses.
"You will regret your arrogance and ignorance, Mr. Ling Yu."
Before the words fell, the two of them collided again! (To be continued......)
PS: It's a strong push, it's estimated that it's going to be dormant for a while, it's okay~ I'm still very confident, let's come on!
