547 Silver Bullets
"For me, human life is like the clothes on our bodies, if you like it, you wear it, if you don't like it, you lose it, it's a big deal, just change it......
And the first person to notice this change in me was my fiancée at the time......"
In the car, Shirakawa Kiyoshi was still slowly telling about his past, while Shiho Miyano was sitting on the sidelines and listening quietly.
Obviously, she didn't want to see this change happen to me, but she couldn't do anything about it, so she ended up saying to me that she wanted me to be a good police officer.
Shiho, have you heard the story of Journey to the West?
In the story, Sun Xingzhi wears a golden hoop on his head that he can't take off himself, as long as the senior monk from the Tang Dynasty recites a spell, the golden hoop will be tightened, making Sun Xingzhi feel painful.
The only difference is that she doesn't have to recite the mantra repeatedly, because her 'mantra' is her first sentence, and I won't be as painful as Sun Xingzhi, because she knows that I will always listen to her.
It was in this almost hostage method that she made me a good police officer.
If I follow the normal script, I shouldn't have any major changes for the rest of my life, because as long as she is alive, I will definitely play the role of a good police officer dutifully.
Of course, that's not to say that I hate it, as I said earlier, I don't really have any feelings in my heart about good and evil, justice and evil, killing and saving people, and no matter which side it is, it doesn't give me any special feedback.
To me, they're all the same.
It's just that if someone I care about wants me to choose one or the other, then I'll naturally choose it.
So when I think about it, I don't care about saving others, nor the skin of the police.
What I really care about is the person who wants me to be a good police officer, and the reason why I do it is just to meet her expectations...... So what if one day, she suddenly died?
Shiho, do you think that if one day the person I really want to satisfy is suddenly gone, then there is still any point in me doing these things again? ”
Bai Heqing suddenly looked at Miyano Shiho, even Miyano Shiho could feel that Bai Heqing was talking about something extremely sad for himself at this time, but his tone at the moment was extremely calm, which made people feel uneasy.
"It took me a long time to think about it."
It didn't seem that he wanted Miyano Shiho to answer, so Shirakawa Qing retracted his gaze and continued to say to himself:
"I don't think it makes sense."
Perhaps for other people, this is meaningful, after all, it is the last sustenance and expectation of the deceased for the living, how can it become meaningless because of the passing of the deceased?
But for me, this is a meaningless act, because to die is to die, no matter how much you do, the dead will not be able to come back to life, let alone look at you again, the so-called sustenance is just the self-comfort of the living.
After figuring this out, I was going to end my life like this, but before that, I had one more thing I wanted to do. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Heqing was silent again, he parked the car on the side of the road, lowered his head, and after a long time, he spoke again:
"She had told Sharon in the last moments of her life that she regretted it...... It was many years ago, involving the Karasuma family and the Hatoyama family at the time, and it was about a special study, and Karasuma Renya wanted to pull the Hatoyama family into the game as well. ”
[Research? Could it be?! 】
"The research later came up with a definite name, and speaking of which, it was the name that Shiho's mother came up with - the silver bullet."
Looking at the shocked Shiho Miyano with a smile, Shirakawa Kiyoshi continued:
Karasuma Renya knew that she was not in good health, which was no secret to the big families in Tokyo at the time, so he thought that the Hatoyama family would not refuse his invitation, and that was exactly what happened.
Old man Hatoyama has indeed been moved by Karasuma Renya's words, but she, who is the core of the problem, refuses.
At that time, she was clearly aware of what a terrifying change it would bring to the world once the research of the silver bullet was successfully completed.
After all, no matter what the angle is, this research will not be revealed to the public, and its results will inevitably only be passed on to a very small number of people.
So, what exactly does it take for someone to get it? And what kind of harm will these people do to the world? And what about those who can't get it? I don't think I need to explain too much.
She realized the terrifying future that silver bullets would inevitably bring.
Even if these futures don't happen to her, and even if she herself becomes a vested interest in the research, she chooses to stand with the voiceless people who will never benefit from the research.
Not only did she refuse Karasuma Renya's invitation, but she even proposed to Old Man Hatoyama at that time that she must find a way to arrest and control Karasuma Renya.
She said that she had already seen the bottomless desire in the eyes of Karasuma Renya at that time, and that even without the help of the Hatoyama family, that person would definitely do everything he could to advance this research, and if it was not stopped, his desire would eventually engulf the world.
Now, from an afterthought, her guess at the time was not wrong, and the organization had indeed done too much evil in this world in order to maintain the research of the silver bullet.
But it is a pity that the old man Hatoyama, who had authority across the Japanese police and public security at that time, did not do so, and although he refused Karasuma Renya's invitation, he also acquiesced to his actions.
After all, as I said, once the research on the silver bullet is completed, the Hatoyama family will also become vested interests, and the old man Hatoyama, he wants to save his granddaughter...... That was my fiancée at the time.
Later, under the imminence of death, her heart was shaken, not because she was afraid of death, but because she was afraid that she was destined to go before me.
Unlike her, who dared to directly reject Karasuma Renya, at that time, she already had too many worries in her heart.
Of course, she had never said these things to me, not even Sharon, she had only mentioned them once, and if I hadn't been outside the door at the time, I'm afraid I would never have known that she still had this thought in her heart.
I still can't figure out if this was her true intention, or if she was deliberately telling a lie to get Sharon to agree to her request......
But no matter what the truth is, with the fermentation of time, it has now become an obsession in my heart that I can't let go. ”
With that, Shirakawa Kiyoshi looked at Shiho Miyano again.
"Shiho, I want to see the success of the silver bullet with my own eyes."
It's not over yet, but it will continue tomorrow......
By the way, what Bai Heqing said to Shiho Miyano is true or false?
