Chapter 111 Red Heart: I hope we can still walk side by side.
In the real world (?), the headquarters of the Law Enforcement Bureau in Skull Town.
"The situation is not good."
In the temporary hospital, Meihua sat quietly in her wheelchair. In front of her were "statues" that had completely turned into crystal. The electrocardiograms connected to the "statues" had turned into straight lines. The crystals had no life and were truly dead.
Meihua was watching everything in front of her. The crystallization under the cover of the Gate of the Underworld was much faster than anyone expected. The town had turned into a lifeless dead city in just a dozen hours. As she was sitting here, she was lucky enough to have only her legs turned into crystal.
Fortunately, her legs had long lost the nerve connection with her body, and after turning into crystal, her condition fortunately did not even worsen.
Meihua's expression suddenly changed for a moment after she sighed. Her cold and indifferent eyes brightened for a moment, then quickly dimmed again.
She rocked her wheelchair, closed her eyes, and sighed in a very relaxed manner: "You are finally here?"
"If I don't come, this town will be like the Mo City in the past, falling into a death that can no longer be stopped."
That warm and powerful voice sounded behind Meihua, and a pair of strong and warm hands grasped the wheelchair's push arm. The wheelchair started to turn and moved in the direction Meihua wanted to go at a speed faster and steadier than an electronic engine.
"If you knew things would turn out like this, you shouldn't have left it to me this time and disappeared into the Enforcer Headquarters."
Meihua smiled, the smile on her lips was like the first melting of ice and snow, stunning and eye-catching, it was an expression that the chief researcher of the General Administration of Law Enforcement would never reveal.
"I can't help it. Queen called me away to deal with the problem of Night Tide Prison where the soul particles are stored. As you know, after King was summoned by the Senate and became a member of the Senate and Jakc died in the line of duty, she became the sole chairman of the Sun Enforcement Bureau. I couldn't resist her orders, so I had to run over to support you as quickly as possible after completing the task."
Meihua smiled and turned her head. The first thing she saw was a strand of fiery red curly hair that fell to her shoulders. The fiery red hair was like a flame, burning all the way to her side.
Red Heart leaned down and looked at her with a smile, but his brows were slightly frowned, obviously troubled by the current situation.
Rather, in the Skeleton Town, which was in almost the same dangerous situation as the Ink City ten years ago, no one could keep calm.
The fact that she and Red Heart can still have a conversation here shows that she is in a very good state of mind.
"I heard... the traitor in the Enforcement Bureau has been found out? Meihua, you are indeed the most suitable person among us to do this."
Red Heart sighed from the bottom of his heart, but Plum Blossom just shook his head: "Don't flatter me. The most important thing now is how to solve the catastrophe that happened ten years ago. But Spade is indeed hiding very well. If he hadn't used the excuse of 'getting lost' during the Huangquan Town incident and finally appeared in front of Youyu and the others, I wouldn't be sure that he was actually the traitor sent by the demon apostle."
To be fair, Spade was indeed a very competent undercover agent. Ever since the reunion, the entire surface world had become chaotic due to the deliberate guidance of the DM system, with demon apostles and demon incidents emerging one after another. Spade did help the General Administration of Law Enforcement deal with many problems and took on the responsibility of a leader, although now it seemed that the guy was disgusted by those insignificant demon apostles who tarnished the boss's reputation.
"So who are our intelligence officers? Do you have any clues?"
Redheart sighed, the ends of her hair turning brighter red, really starting to look like a burning flame.
"I have no idea."
Unexpectedly, Meihua shook her head decisively. She relaxed completely and almost let herself fall into the wheelchair. "The only thing I really don't know is this. The information those law enforcers got was given to me by Zhenhong of the Lacerta Archives Bureau long before the Ink City incident. It said that our intelligence personnel got important information from the high-level undercover of the Demon Apostles. After entering the Skull Town, Zhenhong's words came true one by one. But I really can't be sure who is helping us in secret. Instead of asking me, Red Heart, you must have your own ideas now, right?"
Meihua began to put on medical gloves. She paused and added, "At least, the possibility we imagined in our hearts should be the same."
Red Heart sighed, revealing a helpless expression: "I really can't hide anything from you, Meihua, you know what I'm thinking, I really hope... maybe we haven't gone down such a path of disintegration, maybe ten years ago... after that night, we can still end up together with our companions."
Hongxin's voice was filled with deep fatigue, and Meihua stopped moving again. She felt in a trance that Hongxin seemed to be crushed, but when she looked back, Hongxin was still the chief leader who held up the world for them, responsible for the planning and coordination of the entire Sun Law Enforcement Bureau and the most difficult tasks.
The sound of plum blossoms sounds particularly bitter, like clear water with added strong green tea.
"Yes...I hope so too..."
She hoped that her companions who had parted ways that night would still stand on the same side and work hard for the same sky. Even though she knew the probability of this happening was very low, her emotions still overwhelmed her rationality, forcing her, a researcher who was immersed in experiments every day, to admit that if the current reality was true, she would rather believe in a fantasy that was not true.
After all, that separation ten years ago was so painful and unbelievable.
Ten years ago, almost the same thing happened in Ink City as in Skeleton Town now. The priests who wanted to resurrect the Demon King performed a forbidden spell and opened the gate to the underworld in the city, which was connected to the underworld of the other world. Countless demon followers poured out of the gate and rushed into Ink City. The dark green mist from the underworld surrounded the entire city, cutting off all information from the outside world.
At that time, the four best leadership candidates, Heart, Diamond, Fanlan and Club, took the initiative to take on this terrible task. The four led a team to the City of Ink, trying to find and stop the source of the tragedy.
They had been fighting all the way, almost fighting their way out of the streets and alleys of Ink City, killing their way through the third, sixth, and even ninth levels of the underworld, until they entered the real underworld, the Miteklan complex, deep in the jungle, and on top of the supreme temple, the demon king was waiting for death.
However, in the ninth layer of the underworld, facing the crazy priests and the followers of the demon king who had awakened from their slumber, they were forced to split up due to the unstable space cracks that suddenly appeared in the underworld. After successfully dealing with the priests scattered in different underworlds, Plum Blossom and Red Heart thought they could finally meet their teammates who would end it all, but they only saw them in the thick fog...
The backs left by Fangkuai and Fanlan.
The former said nothing, but announced with a grim look that he would quit the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau, while the latter left without saying goodbye. When Fanlan heard about the latter again, he had become a rising star among the demon apostles.
Red Heart and Plum Blossom both remembered the ugly expressions of their two companions when they appeared in the dark green mist. Fanlan hung his head, his eyes were fragmented, and the whole person was almost in a state of collapse. However, Square Cube, who had the strongest psychological endurance among them, just watched everything calmly, with the breath of death soaked in the dark green mist on his body.
"Hearts, Clubs, we can't be your teammates anymore, we're sorry."
Fangkuai bowed deeply, and announced his decision under the astonished gaze of Hongxinyu Meihua: "I am leaving the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau. This thrilling life where I don't know when I will die is not what I want. I will open a restaurant somewhere and live a simple life. That is my life."
Vanlan and Cube hurriedly left the battlefield cleaned up by the Enforcement Bureau. The former became a demon apostle, while the latter hid himself in a corner of Night City and really became the manager of a franchised hamburger restaurant.
It wasn't until the incident in Rye Town during the White Night that Red Heart found Cube's contact information and contacted him. That was their only communication in the past ten years.
Now it seems that at an earlier time, Cube might have joined the Demon Apostles together with Fanlan.
Both Club and Heart didn't know what had happened. They could not imagine what kind of horrific scene their two companions had seen in the dark green mist that caused them to collapse and give up their identities as law enforcers and even choose the more extreme path of becoming demon apostles.
"Forget it. No matter what, the real mastermind behind this farce should come out now."
Red Heart sighed, pushed Plum Blossom, who had already checked the crystal statue, and walked towards the door.
"Come on, Meihua, let the juniors we choose take us to see him, the mastermind behind all this."
She forced herself to smile confidently as usual and walked out of the makeshift hospital with Meihua. After passing every tombstone, she saw those familiar anxious figures from afar at the entrance of the cemetery.
"Teacher Red Heart!!!"
Shuise and Youyu waved their hands vigorously, and even Feicui showed a happy expression.
"Teacher Red Heart! Help! Spade is the Devil's Apostle, and he's fighting with Faust right now! Just after the second intersection over there."
You Yu pointed at the intersection, stopped before he reached the red heart, turned around abruptly and acted as a forward, showing the way for the red heart and plum blossom.
"let's go."
Red Heart pretended that she didn't see the Phantom Thief Wonder following behind the detectives, and Plum Blossom also cooperated by moving her gaze to the other side, with her back facing Wonder.
"Well, let's go."
Meihua responded: "It's time to deal with this, no matter who is behind it."
