"Green Day?" asked Director Fu.

"No way. Ai Qing shook her head, "Even if Green Sun knew that it was Huai Shi who killed the Red Glove, he wouldn't bother with a pawn." Those crazy people are always staring at astronomy and making trouble, and they haven't been low enough to that extent. ”

"The Savior?"

"That's even more unlikely. ”

Ai Qing shook his head: "He is just a victim, even if it is revenge, he should come at me, Huai Shi's file is still being kept secret, and at present, except for you and me, other people don't even know that he is a sublimator." ”

“......”

For a while, it was difficult for both of them to continue their thinking.

"That guy can really cause trouble. ”

Director Fu sighed unhappily, "Just lock it up for half a year." ”

"He is currently a regular employee of the Astronomical Society. Ai Qing looked at him directly, "If you insist on this, then I'm afraid we will only see Jinling goodbye." ”

Jinling, the eastern branch of the Social Security Bureau of the Dongxia Republic, the upper organ of the Special Affairs Department.

Ai Qing's meaning has been expressed bluntly: if Director Fu is stubborn, then everyone may only see you in the border court.

Director Fu frowned: "Do you really want to protect him to the death?"

"He's my subordinate. Ai Qing responded.

"No, he's a seventeen-year-old middle school student, and he's going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow and the year after. ”

Director Fu raised his voice slightly, "If you really don't want him to be locked up at the border one day, then you shouldn't let him get involved in things outside the school. ”

“......”

Ai Qing's eyes became strange when she looked at him: "You are actually caring for the growth of teenagers?"

"I just hate dead kids who take up arms. Director Fu touched the scar on his neck, and his expression became more and more unhappy: "The more uneasy you are, the more annoying you are." ”

"He's not going to be the kind of person you think he is. ”

Director Fu didn't answer him, just silenced, and once again recalled the eyes of the young man in the video.

It was as if he had finally been enraged, and the moment he clenched his fist, it was as if the fog had been blown away by the wind and snow.

The unpleasant superficial smile finally dissipated, replaced by a rock iron-like coldness and gloom.

Destroying everything with such arrogance......

It's like treating death as worthless dust.

That kind of look, like an executioner, instinctively made Director Fu feel uneasy. No, it's disgust.

I hate people who have that kind of look.

I hate children who have that kind of look.

"Miss Ai, you're trying to chain the beast and let him learn the rules of a domestic dog, but Huai Shi is different from that kind of thing. ”

He frowned, "He's just in a dingo den, and even if he looks like a husky, he looks like an atavistic wolf by nature."

Once he's seen blood, it's no longer a chain that can be tied up. ”

Ai Qing calmly drank the cheap tea leaves in the office, put down the teacup, and was indifferent.

"If you're so scared, you might as well kill him. ”

"Do you think I haven't thought about it?"

Director Fu asked rhetorically: "On the night of Red Glove's death, when I first saw him in the rain, I had such an impulse. I can't accept the existence of such a potential madman in my jurisdiction.

But what can I do? I'm forty-six years old, and I'm a child man, so do I want me to kill another child because he might sin in the future?

Miss Ai, he is only seventeen years old, the juvenile protection law is on his side, and he still has the opportunity to choose his own future...... Choose a future where most people don't suffer. ”

"That's like a house dog, isn't it?"

Ai Qing asked coldly: "Hold your ears and don't hear it?" Cover your eyes as if nothing has happened, endure the pain until it becomes a habit, be submissive, obedient and ravaged, wagging your tail and waiting for a reward. Do you think that kind of life is a happy life?"

Director Fu was enraged, "He has more options!"

"He didn't. ”

Ai Qing said: "His surname is Huai, as if I don't have the surname Ai." Whether he struggles or not, he can't change what happened in the past, just as you and I can't decide someone's future. ”

"It's meant to be," she said. ”

Director Fu asked coldly, "What do you think he will think of you when he knows the truth back then?"

"Who cares? I won't be surprised by his choice. ”

Ai Qing looked him in the eye calmly and told him word by word, "But until then, I won't allow anyone to touch him." ”

"Then what exactly are you doing?" Director Fu was amused: "Atonement?"

Ai Qing's face was expressionless, "I'm just hoping that someone can come and settle accounts with me." ”

“......”

In the silence, Director Fu didn't say anything more, just pointed in the direction of the inquiry room and asked her to take her subordinates away.

.

At the same time, Huai Shi was eating heartily in the interrogation room.

After eating the supper of an unknown employee, he wiped his mouth and shouted meaningfully, "Another bowl!"

In the silence, several agents of the Special Affairs Department who were sitting there did not speak, but just looked at him with their hands in their arms, and there was a hint of pity in their eyes.

Until Huai Shi turned around and saw Ai Qing behind her.

"Uh......"

"Don't always let people think that I didn't pay you, okay?"

“...... Ah, sorry. ”

"I'm sorry what, because of how much you've eaten?" Ai Qing shook her head, "Astronomy has a special potion for the development period of the Sublimator, do you need me to help you buy it internally?"

"Ah......" Huai Shi didn't know how to explain the matter of the crow, so she could only scratch her head, "I've already bought that." ”

"That guy Liu Dongli again?"

Ai Qing's eyebrows were raised, as if she was unhappy, "It's better for the detective to go less, and that guy is not a worry-free person." ”

"Okay. ”

Huai poetry federation, from the good as flow.

After the watchers went out, Ai Qing asked, "What's going on today?"

"Sorry for the trouble again. ”

"Don't always apologize for someone else's mistakes—"

The girl rubbed her eyebrows unhappily and sighed, "To be honest, I don't care what you turn into that group of social garbage, as an employee of the Astronomical Society, when you are attacked, the standard response procedures even include the option of killing, understand?"

Don't underestimate the privileges of the Astronomical Society, even if you pull out your gun and kill them all, there is no problem with the procedure, at most you will be demerit internally after going through the process.

I'm just curious – what's your reason for doing this. ”

"Huh?" Huai Shi was puzzled.

"Normally, you usually run away, right?"

She said, "Dead skin begging for mercy or something, if you can't beat it, you can run away or something...... It's not your style to resist head-on. ”

“......”

Huai Shi was speechless, "Am I the image of being timid and afraid of things in your mind?"

"What do you think?"

“...... Well, I think that's right, too. Huai Shi sighed, scratched her head, and didn't know what to say, "If you want to say it, you should be angry, right? ”

"Does it have anything to do with Lao Yang's funeral?"

“......”

Huai Shi was stunned for a long time, and smiled awkwardly: "How is it possible?"

Ai Qing didn't speak, just looked at him, as if waiting for him to continue. For a long time, after all, Huai Shi was defeated.

"Okay...... Probably a little. ”

He looked down at the scars and bandages on his body and sighed helplessly.

"I'm scared. ”

"But no matter how beautiful it is, when I am surrounded by a group of people in a small alley, with a knife in my hand, and say that I want my life, I can't help but be afraid.

I always thought that I could not even be afraid of death, but when I saw my friend lying in the incineration room, I realized that I was not only afraid, but also scared to death. ”

Huai Shi sighed, "I've been doing happy sand sculptures for so many years, otherwise I can't be happy anymore, and I can't even continue to sand sculptures, but what can I do?"

I can't even live my own life.

Even if I go shopping when I'm idle, there are people who don't know where to kill me...... No matter how much I annoy it, it's too much, isn't it?"

"yes. ”

Ai Qing bowed her head, as if she was in favor, but she didn't know which point she was in favor of.

Is it annoying or excessive?

Huai Shi smiled bitterly, reached out to support the table, propped herself up, and the bandages on her body oozed blood again. This time it really hurt a lot.

He discovered another bad habit that he had developed after reading the records.

It is convenient to die at will in the record, but in reality, if you die at will, you will pay a heavy price.

One dozen seven certainly sounds majestic, but it is impossible to be beaten by seven to one, and not to be injured.

"Do you want me to give you a hand?"

Ai Qing asked suddenly, as if she meant something.

Huai Shi smiled and shook her head, "No need, I'll just come by myself." ”

"You have to live your own life, don't you?"

He finally braced himself up and leaned on himself.

Wearing the coat hanging in the corner, the suit over the years was still clean and covered with blood, and it looked as if it had returned to the way it used to be, becoming gentle and harmless.

"I'll have the driver take you home?"

"I'll just call a taxi. Huai Shi shook her phone and raised her eyebrows happily: "I grabbed a taxi coupon on the road today, and it will expire if I don't use it again." ”

Seeing him leaning against the wall, a little stumbling and funny, Ai Qing fell silent.

"If you don't have a yearning for anything outside of the everyday, there's no reason to become a sublimator......" she suddenly asked, "Huaishi, do you regret it?"

"Nope. Huai Shi grinned, "I just haven't gotten used to it yet." ”

As he spoke, he patted his chest and made a gesture that everything was OK.

"This kind of small problem, just give me some time. ”

The young man smiled, bowed his chin goodbye, pushed open the door, and whispered as if to himself, "Give me a little more time......

Ai Qingmu sent him downstairs.

She didn't try to comfort or persuade her anymore, though it was too foolish to decide to face everything on her own.

It's a big deal to continue digging deeper, save the scene when necessary, and maybe let him give the Astronomical Society a few more years.

His self-esteem and Ai Qing's dedication were satisfied at the same time.

Double satisfaction, double happiness.

It's the best of both worlds.

It's just that in silence, she looked at the page of the [Collection of Ten Thousand Sins], the quietly increased reward, and her eyes became gloomy.

$200,000?

That's a bit cheap for the regular employees of the Astronomical Society, right?

In a rare case, she decided to fulfill her responsibilities as a boss.

The page closed, and her finger slid to the top of the complex symbol of pure triangles and circles—the Metatron Cube.

The sales platform established by the three neutral giants of the border: Tomorrow's News, the Stone Cauldron Society, and the Workshop Alliance, corresponds to the three essential contents of the sublimation of information and intelligence, border technology, and weapons and tools.

Soon, the page kept jumping to the page of Cavendish Laboratory, an alchemy workshop featuring a combination of high-tech and frontier technology.

Recalling the bounty on the account that Huai Shi had not yet been hot, her mood was unusually happy.

Three million dollars.

Enough to buy a good thing, right?
