By the time Hosa hurried to the Coral Lighthouse, it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night.

It didn't quite fit Shakin's style of doing things, as she rarely made unplanned summonses, so Hosa's first instinct was that something tricky had happened suddenly, and it must have something to do with the three hostages of VIAPHKAI - there was no doubt about it.

The eyes of the three-tiered tower on the periphery of the lighthouse were still closely following her footsteps, and its owner was a young man who was not yet eighteen years old, and had just joined the Udini family. On the second day after he came, he made a straightforward pursuit of He Sa, and she didn't want to spend more time on this matter except for a light smile. He Sa was used to people guessing her age wrongly, they always thought she was dignified and beautiful, young and simple, but in fact, they only guessed the first half correctly.

It's been four years, and when Hosa enters this lighthouse, he still feels a slight tremor involuntarily.

At this time, the coral lighthouse was peaceful, Xia Jin never skimped on lamp oil and coal, and the tower was shrouded in a bright orange halo, which seemed so peaceful. Hosa walked lightly to the fifth floor and pushed open the pitch-black closed double door.

The room was brightly lit, but her landlady was not there, except for the occasional chill of the sea breeze blowing through the open windows, and the sound of water vapor from the Soxhlet extraction device that was constantly and automatically vaporizing, rising, condensing, and dripping into the laboratory table.

Maybe Shakin was in the sixth-floor living room, and Hosa didn't want her to feel like she was sneaking into the room to look around while no one was around, but just as she was about to leave, she heard a clear falling sound from under the lab table.

An alarm bell suddenly rang out in He Sa's mind, and she swam silently like a snake, holding a small lantern shield in the palm of her right hand—

"Hello, sister. ”

A fluffy cashmere hat, a set of pale gold satin embroidered tunics, soft deerskin boots, and a cute and quivering pink chubby face were smiling sweetly at her, and he was fiddling with a few tiny dropper tubes in the belly of the table.

"Wende'er?" He Sa couldn't believe his eyes at all, and quickly took the little guy into his arms, and checked his valuable new clothes over and over again, as if he were a doll that was being rubbed around, "Why are you here? Who gave you this dress?"

"I'm so dizzy······"

"Ahh

"Came by carriage. Wende'er's little fleshy hand that couldn't stop began to curl Hosa's hair again.

"Whose carriage?"

"The black carriage. ”

"Is there anyone else in the carriage besides you?"

The child became impatient with the flurry of questions and began to kick his calves and struggle to go down and play by himself.

"Wende'er, tell me," Hosa held Wende'er in front of him, "is there anyone else in the carriage besides you?

"My dad isn't here," the child was visibly upset and began to pull her hair hard, "that pretty sister doesn't want him." ”

Pretty sister? He Sa understood, and while holding Wen De'er's little fist, he asked comfortingly, "Did the beautiful sister bring you here?"

"Hmmm······"

"Do you know where she went?"

The child looked around hesitantly, shook his head in confusion, but as if remembering something, he suddenly tried to burrow into Hosa's arms.

"Wen De'er, that beautiful sister—" He Sa's face changed suddenly, and a terrible thought appeared in her mind, she trembled and patted the child's back, "—did that beautiful sister hurt you?"

"I didn't hurt him. A cold voice rang out from behind Hosa.

Xia Jin stood at the door, carrying two small iron cages in her hands, a blue macaw and a silver-gray chinchilla, she put down the iron cage, took Wen De'er and held it in her arms, and glared at He Sa fiercely.

"Open, open!" Wen De'er shouted impatiently, shaking Xia Jin's neck vigorously, pointing to the locked iron cage.

Both women watched with sweet smiles as the children frolicked with the animals—Windel tugged at the parrot's wings and chinchillas' forelimbs, and commanded them to be friends in a milky voice—and those who didn't know thought they were concubines.

"Have I done what I told you?" He Sa was thrilled to find that Xia Jin was staring at her at some point.

"The person we arranged to enter the Impatiens Garden is safely seated and has been in contact with me. ”

"I hope you don't let me down again this time," Xia Jin gently caressed Wen De'er's little brain with one hand, and absentmindedly fiddled with the glass dropper tube that the child had played with before with the other, she glared at He Sa with a cold iron hook-like eyes, "You have failed twice, if you don't succeed this time," the dropper tube snapped and broke, He Sa shuddered, and Xia Jin conjured up a sweet smile again, "You know how much I like Qiao Qi, I will definitely fulfill my mother's responsibilities on your behalf and help you take good care of him." ”

Hosa's face was as white as a shroud, and she desperately controlled herself to continue standing there motionless and expressionless, but her movements betrayed her, and her clenched, trembling fingers almost pinched out her palms with blood.

"You promised me," Shakin's voice trembled, "it won't be bad for my son." ”

"I promised you, but so what?" Xia Jin hissed like a cobra with its head held high and ready to attack, "You also promised me to complete the mission, and what happened?"

He Sa froze in place, unable to say a word, and at this time, Wen De'er was tired of seeing the parrot using Totoro's big tail as a cat teasing stick and chasing all over the house, and opened his arms to ask Xia Jin to give him a hug.

"I've given you a lot of patience, Hosa," Xia Jin picked up Wen De'er, and the child reluctantly rested his head on her shoulder, "The first time such a good opportunity is a golden opportunity! You should have cooperated with Grand Duke Jin to kill both Hidden Eyebrows and Sether, but you didn't even manage one." ”

"At that time, no one knew that Hidden Eyebrows was Remassa's fiancée. ”

"Yes, no one knows," Shakin looked at Hosa in disbelief, "but if you had slaughtered her at that time, wouldn't there be that Morris family today? Hosa, Hosa, is the head on your shoulder an ornament? I ask you, how old are you?"

He Sa bit his lip and said in a low voice, "32 years old." 518 Chinese Net

"I know you're pretty, you're cute, people think you're not even 23 years old, they even think you're younger than me, and that's exactly why I accept you," said Shakin with an indescribable scorn and contempt, "I thought you could be a beautiful and smart senior, and set an example for other girls." But what about you? What assassin do I have to train if the two chances I get my hands on you? If Black Iris is all women like you, I might as well open a nursery—or simply take the brothel out of Quincy's hands!"

"I remember you weren't like that before. Xia Jin let out a long sigh, Wen De'er didn't seem to hear the adults' arguments at all, and was already asleep in her arms, "My husband said when he recommended you, you are the best assassin in the Udinei family, you learned the lantern shield in a week, and some veteran killers will never need this kind of secret weapon in their lives-Hosa, I want you to tell me, what the hell is wrong with you?

"No! there's no turning back, I don't know what else I'm going to do if I don't do it. Hosa looked almost pleadingly, "Ma'am, give me one more chance." I don't think I'm as old as I was ten years ago, and no matter how youthful I look, I am afraid that I can't hide my psychological aging. I've been adjusting myself and I'm definitely not going to miss this time. ”

"I want to remind you that the so-called miss is that I give you ten things, and even if you do nine things perfectly instead of all of them, it is called a miss, understand?"

"Understood. ”

"How many times have you used Baby Mo's 'Awakening'?"

"At the moment, I am currently using a ······"

"Once?" "Shakin looked up and glared at Hosa in disbelief, "You know she won't be able to regain her physical function without seven full seven times, right?"

"But after seven uses, she's a walking and jumping vegetative person, ma'am," He Sa looked at her earnestly, "that brother of hers has been in a coma for so long, we don't need to make them both living dead, and besides, it's not their brother and sister that we're dealing with, but the life of the Emperor of Weshengkai—ah!"

Xia Jin rushed in front of He Sa with lightning speed and gave her three big slaps.

"Listen to what you say, are you still a killer?" Xia Jin glared at He Sa, who covered his face and didn't dare to look up, eager to tear that cowardly face, "The first action, when you missed Sether and Hidden Heart Eyebrow, you should have killed Baby White so that you could come back and hand him back, although he is not a target, but I think you stun him better than not killing a target, so I didn't say anything." ”

"As a result, the second time, you have captured not the emperor, but his younger brother and nephew; this is simply a disgrace to the black iris, if this matter is spread, how can we see the faces of other families? ”

"If there is a third time, Hosa," concluded Shakin coldly, "I can only pack you and your son's head together and send them to the Grand Duke as a sign of atonement." ”

"I understand perfectly, ma'am. He Sa took a deep breath and looked at Xia Jin with a determined look in his eyes, "I will definitely do my best." ”

Perhaps moved by He Sa's sincerity, Xia Jin did not continue to trouble her, but only reminded her again not to forget to continue to give Ying Mo 'Awakening' when she left.

"But, ma'am," said Hosa, who had just reached the door, turned to look back, "what are you going to do with the child?"

Xia Jin hugged Wen De'er, who was chewing his thumb and falling asleep, and shook his face gently like a mother's love, "Can't you take care of your own son and still worry about other people's families? Don't worry, I won't kill him." The prince likes children, and I happen to lack a child······"

Go to the basement of the lighthouse and watch why you open the door of the innermost white room. On the narrow little bed lay a young girl in her early twenties, who looked exactly like the white of the baby. Her eyes were slightly open, her gaze glazed over, and if it weren't for the occasional slight roll of her eyes, she would have thought she was a dead person.

He Sa walked over, carefully put her head on his lap, and patted her face, "Baby, baby, can you hear me······"

After repeating it many times, the girl named Ying Mo finally lifted her eyelids lightly and looked up unfocusedly, perhaps noticing Hosa, or perhaps simply twitching slightly in another long, blank dream of hers.

"Baby, I'm going to feed you medicine—" He Sa whispered on her pillow, "If you don't want it, just shake your head gently—"

Baby Mo didn't react.

He Sa sighed, helplessly took out a very small glass tube from his pocket, opened the wooden cork with his fingertips, and the transparent liquid instantly flowed into Ying Mo's mouth, her throat gurgled and swallowed.

He Sa covered his eyes, as if he wanted to take a nap -

Suddenly, a commotion came from the other side of the underground level, and it seemed that someone was roaring angrily.

Hosa settled the baby and immediately followed the voice.

"What's wrong?" she asked the other guard.

"The man was clamoring to see his son, and we said that he had been taken away by Madame and taken care of him, and then he began to go crazy, cursing Madame with the most unpleasant words, and slamming himself against the wall······"

Hosa walked into the iron railing and saw Belen, with a stubble on his face, his hair in a mess, and a purple brocade coat covered in mud. When he heard footsteps, he rushed forward and grabbed Hosa's hands that had just grasped the railing.

"Let go. He Saleng said coldly, I didn't expect this big prince in brocade clothes and jade food to be hungry for so many days, and his hand strength was still so big.

"Give me back my son! Give me back my son!" Belen yelled at her, his breath and foaming at her almost knocking her unconscious.

"Your son has been taken away by Madame to take care of him, you should rest assured that the conditions there are much better than here, and he will be very happy. ”

"You know what a fart!" Belen bared his teeth and pulled her towards him, "Lao Tzu's son is happiest only when he follows Lao Tzu! He won't like you two-faced poisonous women! Give me back Lao Tzu's son!"

"You're not going to let go, are you—"

Hosa's knuckles strained slightly, and Belen immediately pouted several fingers and howled and jumped away.

"You're not married, you won't understand!" Belen crawled on the ground and slammed the floor, crying in despair, "I want my son! Give me back my son! My son would rather be in a black prison with me than with you stinky who kill a thousand knives! Wende'er, Wende'er!

"Of course I have a son! My son is eight years old! I've only seen him three times in four years!" He sa suddenly shouted, and Belen was silent for a moment, "There are too many parents in this world who can't help themselves, and you are not the only one!"

Belen stared at Hosa's agitated face in a daze, unable to say a word until she turned angrily and sped away.

After a long time, Belen slowly got up from the ground and sat down on the stone bench in a daze.

Xia Jin stood in a secret door above the basement level, and saw it all through the brown glass.
