The black sedan drove into the night, turning into a dark scene, and the dim street lamps turned into the blinding lights of the interrogation room, and into iron chairs.

The man's hands were hanging above his head, blood and sweat dripping from his forehead, and in this room that was sealed on all sides, the reason for the capture flashed through his mind once more.

A failed organizational mission against the police.

It was also because of this failure that he, Scot, and Bourbon were suspended from all their missions and asked to be on standby in the safe house, but after a brief silence, he was the only one who was locked up.

It's hard to say if there's a handiwork in it that Rum, who has always been at odds with Columbeth.

He closed his eyes and slowed down the pace of his breathing, trying to maintain his strength and concentration, I don't know how long he had been in this closed and dimly lit space, when suddenly a series of footsteps sounded outside.

The man frowned, and immediately cheered up.

Could it be rum ......?

"Open the door."

Unexpectedly, it would be Columbai's voice.

His voice came from outside the door, followed by the man guarding the door, "Brother, Master Columbai, you can't go in," said Lord Rum......

"Rum said...?" The man outside the door sneered and asked, "Why didn't I know that the base here is completely under Rum's control."

"Sorry...... But Master Rum has orders, you can't go in, you can't take people away. The gatekeeper choked for a moment, but still tried to stop him.

As he spoke, another voice from behind came an older man, who sounded like a man in his forties or fifties.

"Columbai." The voice of the visitor was low and heavy, "May I ask you, young master, what are you doing in this kind of place?" ”

In the confinement room, Ley quickly recognized the other party's identity from the tone of his voice.

It's rum.

A second after this conjecture appeared, the conversation outside also confirmed the guess.

"Rum. People I will take away. Columbeth raised his chin at him.

Rum only replied with a vague sneer, "Take it away, may I ask what reason Columbeth can give me?" ”

"Reason? First, he is my person, and even if I make any mistakes, I should deal with them. ”

The sound of footsteps came, and the young man seemed to be approaching the past as he spoke, and his words carried a high-minded meanness that would never appear in ordinary times, "Second, what do you think you are. ”

A sneer came as the words followed, "I took people from you, do you need such a thing?" ”

After saying that, he raised his sleeves, and soon someone behind him stepped forward and forcibly broke down the door. The light came in through where it had been opened, and Ley squinted his eyes to see Columbai standing in the doorway with his arms crossed, looking up at the man next to him.

Because of the light, he could easily see the wrinkles on Rum's face twisted up in annoyance, and the latter gritted his teeth and cursed, his voice raised a lot, "What do you think you are?" You're nothing but ......"

He looked contemptuously at the other man's face, which was fully illuminated by the light, and whispered out the latter sentence.

Ley didn't hear the sentence clearly, nor did he see the shape of his mouth, he only saw that after saying this, Columbai's expression instantly turned cold.

He stared at the other party for a moment with those emotionless heterochromatic eyes, "Really? Then you don't have to give way to people of this status now. Do you dare to stop me? ”

Rum's face was a little uglier, his lips pursed, but he didn't say anything else.

So Columbeth looked away, and landed on the man who had stopped him at Rum's words, and before he could speak, he was dragged down by the men who came from behind.

The other people who were in charge of guarding the door with the man broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.

"I hope that this time, you can understand what he has to say, what you can hear and what you can't listen to." The young man's usual gentle smile reappeared, and his inattentive gaze swept over the men behind Rum, and then no longer looking at their reactions, he raised his feet and walked to the confinement chamber.

The moment he walked in, Columbeth frowned at the turbid air inside and looked at the man in the middle of the room

Then, taking the key that he had retrieved from the gatekeeper, he quickly opened the handcuffs on Ley's wrist.

The wrist had been controlled for a long time and there was a circle of blood, and the codename member, who had been restrained in the chair for a long time, stood up with his hands on the armrests.

He really didn't expect the other party to make such a move to directly fish for people, but in this situation, he still suppressed this doubt in his heart and kept up with the other party's footsteps.

The road from the confinement room to the entrance of the organization base was extremely long, and the moment he walked out, Ley was immediately pierced by the sunlight, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the light, and heard Columbeth ask, "Can you still drive?" ”

“... No problem. He assessed his current physical condition and quickly responded.

There should be no problem driving, although he was locked up inside for a long time, Rum didn't have time to do anything else. It's just that his spirit is too tired, and he has spent a lot of time on it since he got the news that he didn't know whether it was true or false for the police a week ago.

I have been nervous for so long, and I can't relax after the matter is completely over, and I have to deal with the doubts and tests that follow.

Judging by his assessment of himself,

It seems that he has reached the edge, but he can still pretend to be idle and drive back, but after this incident, his safe house should also be equipped with various listening equipment, and it is no longer a place to relieve fatigue.

"Then get in the car."

Hearing his affirmation, Columbeth motioned for the driver to leave and took the passenger seat, and Ley got into the car and started the car slowly.

The vehicle drove out of the location of the organization base and into the deserted road on the outskirts, and when it reached the mountainside, a slightly cold voice came from the co-pilot.

"Stop."

Ley pulled over to the side of the road, which almost no one would pass, and then pulled out of his thoughts and regained his strength to deal with the young master who had suddenly given such an order," ...... Here? ”

"Go to the back seat and get some sleep." The young man looked down at his phone and didn't even lift his head, "I don't want to be hospitalized here for a car accident." ”

Then you should just let the driver drive.

Ryan looked at the other party, and suddenly thought something different from it, the vehicle was indeed a better place to rest than the safe house that was already under surveillance.

In silence, he opened the car door and went to the back seat. The back seat of this car has been prepared for this young master with blankets and soft pillows all year round, and now it is cheaper for him.

Just as Columbeth couldn't have completely relaxed in front of him, Ley wouldn't have let himself fall asleep like that, and he just closed his eyes and rested when he came to the back seat, but at least it would be good to unload the nerves that had been tense for a few days and rest for a while.

I don't know how long it took, but when he finally broke free from exhaustion and his mind was calm, he opened his eyes and sat up, only to see the side face of Columbeth.

He felt that the way the two of them got along with each other was strange at times.

will pay for each other's strange trust when inexplicable, and when this node passes, it is endless vigilance, calculation and temptation.

"Thank you." Spit out this sentence, which is the most useless for the organization, the man restrained his emotions and returned to the driver's seat, "Or go to the villa?" ”

"Hmm." This thank you made Columbai frown as if he was not used to it, he glanced at the person next to him strangely, and his voice was straightforward, "It's just to pay you back once." ”

When the driver's door was closed, there was a gust of wind that swept up his hair, scratched the tip of his nose and brought an itch, and he puffed up one cheek a little, and blew it away a little childishly, "In exchange for your useless behavior, next time something like this happens, I won't bother to care." ”

Ley looked at him. Usually when he hears this kind of serious remarks that must be reported and returned, he will laugh a little, but now when he hears this sentence, the man suddenly reacts to the reason for Columbeth's strange attitude recently.

Because my previous actions were too much.

Too much doesn't seem like the right word...... For Columbeth, it seems that there is only such a thing as exchange in the world, and one thing and one action requires equal chips to trade.

So someone does something that he doesn't feel like is the same, and the asymmetry means that he is out of the normal relationship and logic

So be sure to fill the void with another chip.

This concept of paying the corresponding value to get a return, how was it raised by the boss who is said to spoil him to the limit.

Children who are really spoiled and grown up should be willful and unrestrained, instead of measuring all behaviors, and should not be so ...... to this kind of affection linked to affection Fear?

Feeling that this was not the right word, the man did not speak, just continued to start the vehicle.

The thoughts were confused, so even the pictures in the memory became cluttered, and one scene after another flashed, squeezing the emotions even more complicated.

Ray saw Columbeth sitting on the couch in the villa with his eyes down, surrounded by the beast, he reached out and touched its head, then turned to look at himself, "Rey." ”

The picture quickly shattered, and the black-haired young man's face was stained with blood, and he lightly reacted the □□ in his hand, and said sharply, "Rey! ”

Under the fireworks, the side of his face was pushed out in a rounded arc by the forcibly fed balls, and he frowned and turned his face away in disgust, and his voice was low, "That's enough, Rey." ”

"Ley...?"

"Ley."

"Ley ......"

"You guy."

"Huh? You ......"

The sounds, the images, and the temperature of the skin-to-skin contact were all squeezed together, reversed and cracked, and the man saw Columbai's eyes widen and fall under the shattered picture like a step in the air.

He subconsciously reached out to grab it, and the picture was reversed, and the originally bottomless black hole became a sofa in the suite.

He tugged at the hand of the man who had shown this tiredness for the first time, and saw the other person raise his head from the cushion made of the blanket, "... Make a deal, I'll tell you what's next for you, and you're going to do something for me in that action......"

Heterochromatic eyes looked at him and spat out the name.

“...... Shuichi Akai. ”

**————**

Breaking free from his memory, Shuichi Akai opened his eyes and let out a breath.

He looked down and saw the man with his head buried in the socket of his neck, his dark green eyes twinkling in the darkness.

Is it really ...... now? Is it a dream?
