"How long ago was the last time we met?"

Walking slowly on the stone path accompanied by the sound of insects, Bai Heqing asked.

"It depends on whether I see you or you see me." Marie Akai said.

"But if we were to say that we both consciously met each other, it was ten years ago."

"That's been a long time." Bai Heqing nodded slowly, "Ten years is enough time to change a lot of things."

To tell you the truth, Mary, my memory has been getting worse and worse in the past two years, and I can't remember a lot of things from the past, but I can't forget those few special things......"

"Is it that when your body started to have problems?" Mary Akai asked.

Needless to say, Shirakawa Kiyoshi also knew when she was referring to.

"It's been longer than that, only then did it first come to light."

"And now?"

"Now, ah......" After thinking about it for a while, Bai Heqing looked at her and replied with a smile: "I'm terminally ill, and I'm basically hopeless." ”

Hearing his words, Mary Akai's eyes dimmed slightly.

"Baihe, tell me, is it really hopeless? Or do you not want to save? ”

"Mary, it doesn't matter."

"It's important!" She raised her voice suddenly.

Faced with her attitude, Bai He just sighed softly.

"I said, it doesn't matter...... Judging by my own reasons and the impact I have had on the outside world, my death is the most appropriate outcome of this story.

In the past, when Mary you don't know, I have killed many, many people, some of whom deserved it, but many more of whom were innocent.

Those people obviously didn't do anything wrong, and even many of them were still beneficial to the world to some extent, but in the end they all died at my hands.

Mary, you say, if I can still live a nourishing life like this, what do you think of those innocent people who died tragically at my hands? What do you make their families think?

In all the stories of mankind to this day, the death of the evildoers at the hands of justice is an acceptable outcome for all. ”

As he spoke, Shirakawa handed the pistol in his hand to Mary Akai with a smile on his face.

"You're the best fit."

However, Akai Marie did not reach out to take it, she just looked at it, and after being silent for a long time, she raised her head to look at Shirakawa Qing again, and asked rhetorically:

"Baihe, what is it about my story that gives you the illusion that I'm a good person?"

She smiled suddenly, the kind of smile that was a little helpless.

"Is it because of my MI6 status? Is it because I've been investigating organizations all these years? Or is it because I've been working for the so-called 'democracy and justice' of the country, which the media promotes?

Is it because of these that you take it for granted that I represent the so-called 'righteous' side? ”

At this, she scoffed and shook her head.

"If I really had such justice, I should have voted for the Red Su with Director Stewart back in the Cold War! Wasn't the red Su at that time more representative of 'justice'? How could I possibly stay in MI6 for so long? ”

Looking at him, Mary Akai said word by word:

"I have never been a righteous person, nor have I had a big heart, and I have always cared about the people around me.

Baihe, there is no essential difference between us, just the different camps to which we belong...... You say you've killed so many people, but what does that have to do with me? You think I'm going to kill you for these things? Enforce justice?

Are you kidding! The Sera Mary you know has never been such a person! ”

Hearing her words, Bai Heqing was slightly stunned, he was a little surprised, but soon he was relieved, shook his head and sighed.

"If that's the case, then Mary you should kill me."

With his eyes lowered, he said:

"Because, I've already killed the people closest to you......"

"What did you say?"

"Akai Wuwu." Looking at her, Bai Heqing said, "That man, it's Mary, your husband, right?" ”

As if he never thought that the name would come out of his mouth, Akai Marie's pupils instantly contracted to the extreme.

"He died, not long after the Koji Haneda case more than ten years ago, and I killed him."

Bai Heqing spoke to her in a calm tone.

"At that time, Rum made a big mistake in the case of Koji Haneda, and in order to have the results of his confession to Karasuma Renya, he and I began to deliberately guard the spies of various countries who came to investigate, including your husband, Akai Taketake.

I can't remember exactly what night it was, he was exposed, I found out, I tried to persuade him to leave, but he wouldn't listen, so we did.

In terms of martial arts alone, he is indeed a very good person, but unfortunately, I was the one who won in the end......"

Listening to his calm description, Mary Akai was in disbelief, she staggered back two steps, and then suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Shirakawa Kiyoshi's arms, and asked:

"It's really you...... Kill Wu Wu? ”

"It's me, it's true." Bai Heqing nodded slightly.

"You know he's my husband, why do you ......"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know it at first, I only realized it when I was looking through his papers......"

"Heh, haha......"

A strange expression on his face that seemed to be crying and laughing, hearing his words, Mary Akai suddenly let go of him, looked around, her eyes wandered, and muttered to herself:

"No wonder, no wonder...... I said why were you so surprised when you saw me ten years ago, and why did you agree to follow me to London so easily......

I felt that something was wrong, and I thought that you were hiding it from me because of fake death, and you felt guilty about me...... No wonder, the original reason is this?

In the past ten years, I actually have a hunch that Wu Wu may have been killed a long time ago, but I didn't expect it, I never thought of it, that person ...... Could it be you? ”

Tears slid down her face, Mary Akai never thought that it was the person she had been looking for all these years who killed her husband?

What a humorous joke?

"Smack!"

Suddenly raised her hand and slapped him in the face hard, Marie Akai grabbed Shirakawa Kiyoshi by the collar and pushed him to the ground, and her right hand clenched into a fist about to swing towards his face.

But as soon as her hand was raised, she stopped abruptly, looking at the look on her face that didn't know whether to say anger or pain, Bai Heqing sighed softly and handed her the pistol in his hand.

"Mary, use a gun."
