Chapter 42 "He is a pure and spotless angel."
The person who was talking heard the question and looked back.
However, the owner of this strange voice was a young man wearing a knitted hat, with a stern face and deep and cold eyes.
Although he is not very old...but his aura is very strong, even if it is the first time you meet him, you will subconsciously not dare to underestimate him.
"Don't you know?" The lower-level staff would not be foolish enough to offend others for no reason, so they were not stingy in telling everyone about things that were known to everyone:
"He is a legend in Team X. Most people who have worked with him are afraid of seeing blood, and many have gone crazy."
Shuichi Akai asked: "Is he very powerful?"
"No, no, no, he's not that powerful." Someone said, "He's... a pervert. Do you know what a pervert is? The kind of pervert you'd want to run away from if you saw him!"
"?" Akai Shuichi.
"Yes, yes," another person said, "He's like a monster. Anyone who sees him will go crazy!"
"..."Akai Shuichi.
Are you sure this isn't some urban legend?
"Some time ago, a psychologically fragile person teamed up with him. When he came back, he knelt down in front of the base gate, crying and saying that he would never kill anyone again! Then he kept kowtowing in front of the base gate, mumbling in a mysterious way, begging for mercy. He didn't want to be torn into pieces!"
"Tsk tsk, that scene is hard for anyone who has seen it to forget."
"Even if they are in better condition, they won't be able to complete the mission in the short term."
As they spoke, Shuichi Akai had a clearer impression of the "devil". Apart from anything else, this was a very dangerous person and he'd better not get close to him.
"Have you ever done this?"
Akai Shuichi was deep in thought when someone suddenly asked him from behind.
He turned around and saw a man holding a piece of paper and looking at him.
"What is this?" Shuichi Akai looked at the paper.
"This is the questionnaire. Fill it out carefully and don't falsify it." The man handed the questionnaire to Shuichi Akai.
Questionnaire?
Is it an investigation into past information?
Is this a test from the organization?
Shuichi Akai became alert, took the questionnaire calmly, and prepared to make up a story.
Then he saw that the first line read:
"Survey on the Satisfaction Level of Killing Techniques"
"???" Akai Shuichi.
Looking further down, all kinds of bizarre and strange questions are neatly listed.
Akai Shuichi fell silent.
"Fill it out carefully," someone said, "Who sent this to you, the code-name boss?"
Codename: Boss.
Upon hearing this, Akai Shuichi suddenly asked, "Is 'Devil' the code name for the boss?"
This question confused everyone for a moment.
"No...he's not. He also needs to do the mission with us."
"so it is."
In other words, this questionnaire was not sent by the "devil"?
After separating from the others, Shuichi Akai read the questions carefully several times.
I didn't see any trap. It seemed that the person who took this questionnaire just wanted to know about the "murder method".
——Even more vicious.
Without any purpose, with the purest evil intention, he investigated the method of murder.
The devil is one, and this code member is one.
These two characters are people that even people from the other world would genuinely feel fear and terror for.
They must be extremely cruel and ruthless people, and they would not hold back even against other people in the organization.
They bring fear, panic, and oppression to others.
Ling...have you lived in this environment for twelve years?
Akai Shuichi's eyes were heavy. He wanted to get the code name as soon as possible so that he could have more say. Only in this way could he find out about Ling and rescue him.
With this in mind, Shuichi Akai returned to a safe place and began to fill out the questionnaire.
He filled out each question very seriously - not in the sense of actually thinking about the answer to the question, but in the sense of wondering what answer that code name member wanted.
After spending an entire night, Shuichi Akai wrote a report that exuded the aura of a perverted murderer no matter how you looked at it.
The next day, he came to the base and placed the answer sheet in the designated location as required.
"Ethan...are you still alive?"
"Haha... not bad."
As Shuichi Akai turned around, the people passing by him dodged to the side as if they had seen a ghost, their pupils contracted, and they looked extremely shocked and terrified.
Akai Shuichi stared at him, and his heart was filled with shock.
This person's voice...
The man leaned backwards and almost fell down. It was not until the last moment that he controlled his body.
His companion immediately looked at Akai Shuichi with alertness, his body tensed and his posture very vigilant.
“Could it be…” His companions became visibly nervous, their voices trembling: “Ethan, he is…?”
Shuichi Akai didn't understand, and his mind was not on this at the moment.
Because of Ethan's voice, he remembered it very clearly!
It was the man who spied on Ling in the bookstore that day!!
I didn’t expect to find it so quickly!
He must know Ling’s current situation!
After Ethan Bentang stood up, with a face that made people wonder if he hadn't slept for several months, he waved his hands numbly: "Ah... No, he is not a demon, I just saw the hallucination again..."
Shit! Even though he was used to seeing Yu Renling's smiling face popping up from time to time, it was still scary!
He didn't die in the sea of fire and swords, but he was about to die in the shadow left by Yu Renling!
Ethan Bendon's companion was silent for a moment, then said sincerely: "I think it's amazing that you can survive to this day."
The implication is: Go in peace, death may be happier than life.
devil.
Shuichi Akai caught this word.
It seems... "Ethan" not only knows Ling, but also knows the devil.
He will definitely make a great discovery about this person!
"What illusion?" Akai Shuichi pretended to be confused, pointed to the watch in his hand and asked, "Have you filled this out?"
Ethan Hondou had a vision of Miyagawa Ryo staring at him and smiling. Now when he saw this watch again, his face almost distorted.
Akai Shuichi did not miss the change in his expression.
There was a sharp light in his eyes.
Next, his goal was clear.
…
A few days passed in a flash, and Akai Shuichi performed well during this period, but not too outstanding, and did not attract the attention of the organization.
This was also intentional on his part. Although he was in a hurry, he had to be cautious and steady in every step and not make any mistakes.
In addition, he was quietly approaching Ethan Bentang, trying to investigate this man through various information.
Since the time was short, he didn't dare to make any obvious moves, so not much information has been found so far, but overall the situation is developing in a good direction.
On this day, after completing a mission all night, Shuichi Akai received a call from Akemi Miyano in the early morning: "Zhu Xingjun, are you free on the evening of the 4th?"
Ask him out suddenly?
Shuichi Akai actually noticed that when Akemi Miyano found out that he was originally from the dark world, her feelings for him were not as pure as before.
During these days, she often cared about his situation, but seemed to be afraid of disturbing him or avoiding something, so she never met him.
Now suddenly I have an appointment with him at a specific time...
"I don't know yet... But I can spare some time. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Over there, the soft female voice paused for a moment before hesitatingly saying, "I... have a friend. We will get together at my house on the evening of the 4th. He heard about your situation and wants you to come as well so that he can apologize to you in person."
The reason why Miyano Akemi used this tone is because Miyagawa Ryo's original words were -
"Ms. Mingmei, you just happened to run into him. He just happened to have connections with the other world. He just happened to have Gin's eyes and joined the organization... I think you still need to be wary of him."
Miyano Akemi got over the initial stage of feeling guilty and self-blaming. After hearing what Miyagawa Ryo said and thinking about it calmly, she felt that what he said made sense.
"Can you give me a try?" she asked.
Miyakawa Ling did not hesitate, and even felt a little happy because of this trust: "Of course."
But Miyagawa Rei was still very busy, and Miyano Akemi also had her own things to do, so after several communications, the time was set for the evening of the 4th.
friend?
When Akai Shuichi heard this, he knew it was not as simple as an apology.
Instead, it has a bit of...the meaning of the Hongmen Banquet.
But he couldn't refuse, and it was impossible to refuse.
After spending so much time together, he had some understanding of Miyano Akemi's personality.
The "friend" that Akemi Miyano refers to in this tone should be a real friend, not a colleague with a superficial relationship in the organization.
Maybe he will have an unexpected gain.
Akai Shuichi said: "No need to apologize, but I will go."
Miyano Akemi smiled and said, "He is a very nice person. You won't feel awkward when you are with him."
Akai Shuichi: "Is he also a member of the organization?"
"Yes." Miyano Akemi thought for a moment and said in a rare joking tone, "But he is a pure and flawless angel."
Well, the little angel is smiling.
I hope the star gods won’t be afraid when they see me.
“…I understand.” What kind of comment is this?
Never killed anyone? A rare good guy in the organization?
Akai Shuichi calmly rejected both of these ideas.
"Pure and flawless"... In the organization, no one can be pure and flawless.
Even Miyano Akemi, who he had investigated in advance as being kind, had been forced to do many things.
A truly pure white person cannot survive here.
Shuichi Akai did not believe what Akemi Miyano said, and was certain that the man had ill intentions, but he would not back down.
He has only one straight path to follow, and he will only follow this path.
Over there, Miyano Akemi hung up the phone, picked up her bag, and walked out.
The time is almost up... Today is the day she meets her sister.
In the past, they only met once a month, but this month, for some reason, the organization made an exception and allowed them to meet once more, for a whole day.
However, it is said that the person monitoring the meeting this time was changed.
Miyano Akemi doesn't know who will replace her, but after all, she is a codenamed member who has killed countless people, and the organization's supervision of her sister will always be at the highest level.
I'm used to this kind of thing...even though I still feel sad, I'm probably more surprised to see my sister.
…
Miyano Shiho was still a little confused when she knew she could meet her sister.
Her recent research has not produced any new results. How could the organization be so generous?
"Shirley, the person following you this time is Magno." The surveillance personnel of the institute said with a bit of schadenfreude.
Miyano Shiho could tell from his attitude that Magno was definitely not a good person.
But it doesn’t matter!
The most important thing is that I can see my sister! I can spend a day with my sister!
The girl couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and her eyes, which usually had no expression, were now filled with uncontrollable excitement and anticipation.
The night before the meeting, she had already thought about what she was going to do and what topics she was going to talk about after meeting her sister. She was afraid that she would forget by then, so she wrote it down.
This talented girl, who is recognized and needed even by a force as huge as an organization, can recite fluently complex terms and information that she has seen only once. Now, for fear that she would forget the topic she wanted to talk about with her sister, she took out a small notebook and carefully listed them one by one.
The next morning, Miyano Shiho took off the white coat he had been wearing, changed into his favorite clothes, put on the bag he and his sister bought, and waited in the laboratory for Magno, who was monitoring him, to arrive.
She was doing experiments all day long and didn't know many Codename members. The one she had dealt with the most was Gin. The silver-haired killer's cold and fierce eyes always woke her up in the middle of the night.
As the clock ticked by, Miyano Shiho became more and more anxious. She didn't want to waste every minute she could spend with her sister.
But she has gotten used to it... Every time, the organization's monitors arrive on time.
They never considered Miyano Shiho's feelings.
Although she is also a member of the Codename group, she is more like a bird locked in a cage for admiration. People admit that she is beautiful, but they will not let her free.
“Ding ding.”
Just when Miyano Shiho's mind was wandering, she heard the sound of the outer code door being opened.
Um?
Miyano Shiho looked at the time and suspected that she had heard it wrong.
So early?
How is that possible?
“Ding Ding—confirmed success.”
The mechanical sound that came again proved that this was not Miyano Shiho's hallucination.
She widened her eyes in surprise, took two steps forward, and stood at the door waiting.
When Miyagawa Ling opened the door, he saw a little girl with brown hair, dressed exquisitely and pretty, standing by the door, with eyes wide open, looking at him nervously and expectantly.
Her appearance was similar to Miyano Akemi, so Miyagawa Ryo knew her identity instantly.
"Shirley?" he asked, narrowing his eyes.
Miyano Shiho had thought of countless personalities of the people who came in, but the moment the door actually opened, she was still a little stunned.
A black-haired young man came in. He didn't look much older than her. He had a pair of sparkling golden eyes, and his gaze was clear and warm.
He was much taller than Miyano Shiho, but when he stood in front of her, she didn't feel oppressed. Instead, his gentle temperament and sincere smile made her feel more at ease.
"Shirley?" Even his tone made people feel warm, as if he was talking to his own sister.
Miyano Shiho thought of the man's attitude when he mentioned Magno before, and instead of relaxing, he became even more alert.
"It's me, can I go now?" She adjusted her expression and asked coldly.
"Yeah." Miyakawa Ling made way: "Let's go."
This actually made Miyano Shiho stunned for a moment.
In the past... when those people first met her, they would always have more or less hostility towards her, a little girl with a code name but who was manipulated by others.
Making things difficult for her over small matters seemed to demonstrate their status.
But today…
She was actually respected.
"It may not be necessary... but I still want to introduce myself."
Miyagawa Ling walked behind Miyano Shiho and suddenly said, "Nice to meet you. Hello, I'm Magno. I'm new to this job. If there's anything I didn't do well, please forgive me."
