Chapter 9: Asaka, I didn't expect you to be alive

The burning sensation transmitted from the heart made the blood all over his body hot, and this familiar feeling made Sashima Ritsu fearful, could it be that the blade was stained with the liquid that inspired the berserk potion? Otherwise, how could a condition that had not occurred for a long time suddenly be difficult to control?

He staggered to the ground, his whole body as if he had been poured cement, without any strength, and his trembling hands tried to find a special tranquilizer hidden in his arms, but no matter how he manipulated his body, it was as indifferent as if it were not under the control of his brain.

The burning sensation made him gasp in pain, and his consciousness was once again occupied by the killing.

Ritsu Sasashima couldn't bear the burning sensation all over his body and directly faded off the clothes on his upper body, and the red blood marks that spread from the left atrium to his shoulder became more obvious at this moment, and even his mouth gradually let out a beast-like roar, and the pain in his shoulder gradually subsided, and even the wound in his shoulder was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Standing outside the enclosed space, Thales smiled with satisfaction, like a good child waiting to be praised by the teacher, she respectfully half-squatted down and asked, "Sir, it seems that the potion prepared this time is very successful, and it has successfully stimulated the ability of the first generation." ”

"Don't rejoice too soon, Tyles, this kid is more patient than he thinks, and he's always been himself."

Ritsu Sasashima, who was in the enclosed space, gritted his teeth and tried to suppress the pain that tried to occupy his consciousness, he groped for the dagger hidden next to his calf, and without hesitation, he plunged directly into his chest, since he could achieve wound healing, he could only use physical pain to relieve mental torture.

He was indeed very himself, as Rum had said. Rather than becoming a monster who loses his mind and is used by others, it is better to die as a normal person. When he became an undercover agent for the organization seven years ago, he didn't take his life seriously.

As long as the mission can be completed, what is there to fear from death?

Ritsu Sasashima staggered to his feet and leaned weakly against the wall, his eyes looking up at the surveillance camera hanging on top, his eyes full of madness, he looked directly at the camera without fear, as if he was looking at Rum hiding in the shadows through the surveillance.

- "Enjoy the taste of being wrapped in darkness, and I will take you into new realms, to become a new you, for my use." ”

The words that Rum said back then came to mind, and it was also the last paragraph he heard before he woke up.

Ritsu Sasashima clenched the blade that sank into his chest with his left hand, and said with a firm gaze: "I haven't returned the words you gave me back then, and now it's time for me to tell you my answer." ”

"That's - don't want me to be your puppet for the rest of your life."

He stretched out his right hand and lifted the broken hair on his forehead to wipe the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, changed his usual politeness, and said in a cold voice: "You just fucking go and daydream, I have never changed...... Even if the police don't recognize me, I'm still a policeman. ”

Five Generations of Rivers, Mountains and Moons

He was a graduate of the Metropolitan Police Academy, and he was one of the best graduates of that class, and he had his own honors.

Therefore, with oneself who is not afraid of death, is not afraid of sacrifice, and is willing to give his life for the public good, how can willpower be better than a coward who hides in the shadows and always lets others go first?

"Rum, you're underestimating the police."

Tyles didn't expect Ritsu Sasashima to make such a crazy move, is there really a person in this world who is not afraid of death? She stared at the blood gushing out of Ritsu Sasashima's chest with wide eyes, and said in a slightly flustered tone, "Sir, what should I do now?" ”

Rum didn't expect Ritsu Sasashima to be so determined, he thought that Ritsu Sasashima, who had been betrayed by the National Police Agency, would hate the police, and he thought that Ritsu Sasashima was just doing things for the organization, but he had an obsession with destroying the organization that made him lose everything.

But he really didn't expect that Ritsu Sasashima still chose to believe in the National Police Agency and still think that he was a police officer.

Oh, I didn't expect this game to make a wrong move.

"This kid is really interesting." Rum reached out and pinched a delicate little biscuit and pushed it into his mouth, not paying attention to the cookie crumbs that splashed as he chewed, and his voice was pleasant, "Let the spider play with him for a while, the same as when he retreated, I have arranged for Curacao to help you leave the institute." ”

"Okay, sir, then I'll ...... first"

However, Tyles could not finish her words and could not speak again, warm blood gushing directly from her neck, and she stared at the long-haired woman standing behind her in disbelief with wide eyes.

When did she stand behind her? How did she get into the institute? Who is she?

"Don't show such an unwilling face, I've given you ten seconds to react, but it's a pity that you don't seem to notice me at all."

Rum furrowed his brows and looked at the woman who appeared in the frame through his mechanical prosthetic eyes, her long dark brown hair combed in a mid-parted pattern, blue drooping eyes, and the unfamiliar pair of silver-framed glasses.

The long-haired woman slowly squatted down, she noticed that the mechanical prosthetic eye was still running, the corners of her mouth outlined a harsh arc, she deliberately made her voice sound a little younger, and said slowly in a tone that imitated seventeen years ago: "Mr. Rum, I haven't seen you for seventeen years, are you okay?" Wouldn't you be so forgetful that you don't even know me? ”

Seventeen years.

For Rum, the word seventeen years was a forbidden word, the only time he failed in his mission, and the biggest stain on his life. He's a perfectionist, so he hates it when the number "seventeen" is mentioned in front of him, which reminds him of those two obnoxious faces.

"Heh-Asaka, I didn't expect you to be alive."

Light incense? It's a nostalgic title.

Unlike those alcohol codenames, Rumi Wakasara, who is an external killer of the organization, has given herself an extremely ordinary-sounding codename, which is "Asaka". It's just that this code name is no longer used after leaving the organization seventeen years ago, and it is still a little strange to hear it again.

Rumi Wakasa shook the blood off her katana, and she smiled at the mechanical prosthetic eye as if she were looking at Rum out of nowhere, and said in a pleasant tone, "Am I still alive without your blessing?" I'm here to find you, Rum. ”

"I don't think there's any enmity between us."

Rum has never understood why Asaka broke away from the organization after passing through Koji Haneda's case, and the whole person seemed to evaporate from the world, and even did such a thing when facing himself.

- "So, do you still want to kill me?" ”

The voice of the guy came to mind, and the smile on Rumi Wakasa gradually disappeared, and she snorted coldly and felt that it was not interesting to continue talking to Rum, anyway, as long as the kid inside survived, sooner or later she could find him, and then kill him with her own hands to avenge that stupid guy.

“…… You will be my last assassination target. ”

Rumi Wakasa raised her katana high and stabbed it directly into the mechanical prosthetic eye that disgusted her, smashing it hard and looking at the monitor. She couldn't help frowning, it seemed that the battle situation was not optimistic.

"You're going to hold on, little ghost."
