The day after Cen Mingming was discharged from the hospital, he moved back in. This time, Lu Yizhan was in the same ward with him.

The two of them stared at the ceiling with their eyes closed, without saying a word from dusk till dawn. They could vaguely hear the chaotic noise and crying coming from outside the ward door:

"The second squadron of the third detachment was destroyed!"

"Where did the five regiments of the first team go?!"

"Team Two, New One, and the Third has defected!"

Lu Yizhan finally fell asleep tiredly amid the noisy background. He was awakened by Cen Mingming's rapid shouting. Lu Yizhan was half asleep at the time and had not yet realized that he and Cen Mingming were in the same ward. When he heard someone hoarsely calling Yu Fu's name in a dream.

He sighed subconsciously in his heart, turned over and covered his head with the quilt, thinking that my roommate was dreaming about Captain Yu's Chunzi bomb again.

But Captain Yu is already dead.

In an instant, Lu Yizhan was awakened by this sudden thought. He seemed to have jumped from a peaceful daily life into a nightmare, and he woke up completely with cold sweat on his back.

He slowly turned his head and looked at Cen Mingming, who was lying on the other bed with his eyes closed, brows furrowed, and sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he was having a nightmare.

I don’t know what Cen Mingming dreamed about. He kept calling Yu Fu or Yu Dui in a hoarse voice. His hands clenched and unclenched again and again, as if he was trying to grab something. Tears rolled down his eyes.

"Captain Yu..." Cen Mingming whispered hoarsely with tears in his eyes, "Don't die."

"Lu Yizhan, don't die..."

Lu Yizhan was silent for a long time, and then he calmly answered Cen Mingming's dream: "Well, I am not dead."

After Cen Mingming fell asleep again, Lu Yizhan tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. The bandage on his left eye was still bleeding. The doctor sternly warned him not to walk around, but Lu Yizhan really couldn't sleep, so he got up and started wandering around the medical department.

There were injured team members everywhere, and the corridor was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant, but this still couldn't cover up the strong smell of blood.

Lu Yizhan heard the injured team members whispering:

"The heretics that escaped have basically been brought under control... This should be the end of it."

"The leader of the traitors in Team 2, the team leader, has been arrested. The team will conduct the trial tomorrow."

"...The captain of the second team is from the same period as the square team, right? I remember that they had a pretty good relationship before."

"The classmate who has the best relationship with Captain Fang is Captain Yu, right? Eh... now one of them is going to be tried for defecting, and the other one..."

"... Forget it. Captain Yu died and Captain Fang was seriously injured. I don't know what expression I should use when I pass by Captain Yu's medical office from now on."

Lu Yizhan stopped walking, turned around and walked towards Yu Fu's medical office.

The area around Yu Fu's medical office was very quiet and empty, with only the door slightly ajar. Just as Lu Yizhan was about to think about who had opened Captain Yu's office with the key, he heard Fang Dian's hearty laughter coming from the office:

"Yu Fu, I came to you to treat my injury. I was seriously injured this time. The beast from Team 2 almost cut off my arm. I thought to myself that it was a good thing I had you, otherwise this broken arm would probably not be able to be reattached."

"When I was a trainee, I always had fights with that beast, and you were the one who helped me sew up the gap between us. Every time you did it, you moved very gently, and it made me grimace. Haha."

"Tomorrow." Fang Dian paused, and the smile in her voice gradually faded. "I will chop off the head of that beast."

"He betrayed the Heretic Authority."

"The fool who made big promises to us, saying he would join the second team and destroy the evil in the world, defected to Bai Liu's side."

Fang Dian's voice gradually became lower: "Yu Fu, what do you think he is thinking... He obviously hates Bai Liu and the heretics so much, but he told me that it is absolutely impossible to kill all the heretics and it is absolutely impossible to defeat Bai Liu."

"He said... I used the lives of the second team members of the Bureau of Heresy to fill this black hole of heresy that could never be filled. He asked me if I knew how many second team members died every time they went out on a mission. He called me a cruel bitch."

"He yelled at me, questioned me, and said those ignorant people, even insulted them for disturbing their fucking ordinary people's lives are lives, but the lives of so many young people in their teens and twenties in the Second Team of the Heretic Authority are not lives?"

"He asked me, why should we sacrifice the lives of these team members to save the lives of ordinary people who are worthless?"

Fang Dian's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible: "Yu Fu, you are a doctor, you have been saving people, please tell me, I can't understand..."

"Why do people feel such hatred towards the person they saved?"

Lu Yizhan's hand that was about to knock on the door paused, and he stopped outside the door, not knowing whether to go in or back out.

A gust of wind blew the door open from the inside. Fang Dian turned around and asked, "Who?"

Lu Yizhan: “…”

Is it his luck? This kind of thing always happens to him.

But when Lu Yizhang saw Fang Dian's current appearance, all the messy thoughts in his mind were suddenly cleared and became blank.

Fangdian had her hair loose, and the wet semi-long black hair half-covered her face. Her complexion and lips were extremely pale, and her nose and eyes were slightly red. It was obvious that she had just cried, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

Her left hand was suspended with a triangular bandage, and she had a captain's uniform draped over her shoulders. Underneath was a slightly larger blue and white striped hospital gown. It was not tied neatly inside a complete set of formal uniforms, which made Fang Dian look a lot thinner.

Opposite Fangdian was hanging a white coat with Yu Fu's name tag pinned on it.

Just now, Fang Dian seemed to be expressing his confusion to this piece of clothing that had lost its owner.

The dim light at dawn shone over Fang Dian's shoulder, but it no longer made Lu Yizhan feel the same sense of oppression as when he first saw her.

I just felt that... the all-powerful team was about to be shattered by the approaching sunlight.

"It's Xiaolu." Fang Dian laughed again, "I heard that your eyes were injured. Why didn't you take a good rest instead of wandering here?"

Lu Yizhan clenched his fists, lowered his head, and opened his mouth: "Captain Yu and Captain Dong died because of me, Captain Fang, I..."

"I don't need to say sorry." Fang Dian calmly interrupted Lu Yizhan's words. She looked calmly at the empty white coat opposite her. "Tracing back to the source, this matter is Bai Liu's fault, my fault, and any accident in this world that caused you to bear the blame for their deaths."

"But it's not your fault, Lu Yizhan, you are also a victim."

"When playing games with Bai Liu, you have to remember one thing. You don't win just because you beat him." Fang Dian turned his head to look at Yu Fu's white coat hanging on the wall and said lightly, "The one with the most people surviving wins for us."

"Yu Fu did this perfectly. Your survival is the best reward for her winning the game."

Fang Dian smiled, walked over and patted Lu Yizhan's shoulder. Her long hair fluttered in the light and became shiny again. "You have done a great job."

"Keep doing this, Lu Yizhan."

Lu Yizhan clenched his fists so tightly that his fingertips turned white. He suppressed his sobs and shouted, "Yes, the formation!"

The next day, all the rebels in Team 2 were tried, but Lu Yizhan and Cen Mingming stayed in the ward and did not go.

Cen Mingming stared at the ceiling blankly. Lu Yizhan thought that if this continued, this guy might go crazy, so he brought up a topic: "What kind of rules do you think Bai Liu follows when playing games?"

Lu Yizhang originally thought that Cen Mingming would not answer him, but Cen Mingming answered almost the moment Lu Yizhang opened his mouth.

"Disgusting rule." Cen Mingming answered with his eyes wide open.

"Uh..." Lu Yizhan tried his best to continue the topic, "What kind of disgusting method is it?"

Cen Mingming sneered in a trance, "Those three people who wanted to kill Captain Yu's master, the traitors... thought that they would not be remembered by others. Bai Liu would erase everyone's memory, but everyone in Bai Liu's family naturally excluded the audience."

"The memories of the two of us spectators were not erased, so in the end we came out and identified the three traitors. They still had to die if they deserved to die."

Cen Mingming took the initiative to identify the traitor, and Lu Yizhan assisted him and added details.

Lu Yizhan was silent for a while: "These three people from the second team must have a good relationship with you."

"Bai Liu did erase the memories of others. As long as you don't tell anyone and I don't tell anyone, these three [traitors] won't be discovered by anyone. They don't have to be brought to trial now, and they can survive."

"And Bai Liu even wiped the memories of these three traitors. They themselves didn't know they had done such a thing. When you pointed it out to them, they thought you were deliberately framing them. They kept looking at you in shock, thinking it was you..."

Cen Mingming gritted his teeth and said nothing. Lu Yizhan was silent for a moment before continuing:

"I feel they are not bad. If Bai Liu didn't force them to choose, maybe they wouldn't do such a thing. In the end, they didn't do anything bad. If you don't point them out, they might slowly change..."

Cen Mingming clenched his fists on the bed. He hammered hard on the bed, turned his head and stared at Lu Yizhan with bloodshot eyes: "But what has been done has been done!!"

"Even if they forget, even if everyone forgets, I remember!!"

"If we let them go, will it be fair to Captain Yu Fu who died? Will it be fair to all the members who were seriously injured or killed in this accident?!"

Lu Yizhan was silent for a long time. The only sound in the ward was Cen Mingming's heavy breathing. Lu Yizhan spoke calmly, "But they haven't done it yet. These things were not caused by them. It was Bai Liu."

"Captain Yu went to such lengths to keep them alive, and I always feel it's wrong to punish them for something they didn't do."

"But I've done it in my heart!" Cen Mingming retorted viciously, "Lu Yizhan, I really still hate you."

After saying this, Cen Mingming jumped off the bed, slammed the door and left without looking back.

He was alone, with his back to the constant gunfire coming from the courtroom, and he walked madly with his head down. Every time a gunshot rang out, his shoulders trembled. He ran as if he was running away from the gunfire, passing through the ward, the training ground, and finally came to the heretic shelter.

Cen Mingming was panting and stopped with a blank expression.

A member of the team guarding the heretic detention center recognized Cen Mingming and asked him what he was doing there. Cen Mingming was silent for a long time, then he said, "I came here to see Captain Yu."

The guard was a little confused: "Are you here to see Team Yu at the Heretic Internment Center?"

Cen Mingming opened his mouth, but he remembered that these ordinary team members knew nothing, so he changed his words: "...I came to see the heretic [0573] that Team Yu had taken in."

The guard hesitated for a moment. He glanced at Cen Mingming and remembered what Fang Dian said about not being too harsh on the remaining members of Team 2. He then said, "...because of what happened before, for safety reasons, before we have thoroughly investigated Team 2's affairs, anyone from Team 2 who wants to enter the Heretic Inclusion Center needs direct approval from Team Fang."

"But now that you are in the probation period for the Inquisition and you took the initiative to report your own traitorous team members, you are only considered half a member of the second team. If you are anxious to get in, you can wear handcuffs to restrict your movement. It depends on whether you are willing or not."

Cen Mingming was silent for a long time. He slowly stretched out his hands and said in a hoarse voice, "You guys torture him."

Under the guidance of the guard team, Cen Mingming passed through several winding corridors, was blindfolded, and walked in front of the heretic [0573].

The team members also wore blindfolds to avoid being seen by [0573]. He said: "As a reserve member of the [Crusader's Inquisition], you have a fifteen-minute observation period for each red high-risk heretic. After fifteen minutes, I will forcibly deport you."

Cen Mingming, who was wearing a black blindfold, nodded. After the team members left, he pushed open the door of the room where [0573] was imprisoned, walked in, and then took off the blindfold.

[0573] It is contained in a one-way visible glass box, which means that Cen Mingming can see its movements inside the glass box, but it cannot see Cen Mingming outside the glass box. This ensures the safety of the observer to a certain extent.

Cen Mingming looked at the heretic in silence. After a long pause, he stretched out his handcuffed hands and gently touched the glass box, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Captain Yu, do you want them to survive?"

"…Is it wrong for me to do that?"

Inside the glass box, more than half of the eyeballs on the Eyeball Food were closed, and their fat bodies rose and fell in a certain rhythm, as if they were sleeping.

Cen Mingming slowly bent down, closed his eyes and put his eyes close to it.

If this one-way glass is pasted close enough, the heretics inside will be able to sense what is outside. Sure enough, all the heretics inside opened their eyes at once and began to squirm inside the glass box.

A lock inside the glass box was slowly opened with a crisp click, and the eyeball heretic inside slowly walked out.

Cen Mingming took a deep breath, closed his eyes and began to slowly back away, then raised his hands and stood still, his voice trembling: "...Captain Yu, you know how to open this glass box, you still have some consciousness, right?"

All the eyeballs on the Eyeball Tun Food blinked slowly, as if thinking about what Cen Mingming said.

"If Captain Yu thinks what I did is wrong." Cen Mingming's eyelids trembled slightly, and his voice became calmer. "I will open my eyes later, and you can parasitize on me."

"I'll count to one, two, three--"

Cen Mingming opened his eyes.

All the eyes of the huge eyeball food were closed. It did not hurt Cen Mingming, but all the eyeballs were shaking as if trying to open, but were suppressed by itself.

Then slowly, an eyeball at the end of a tentacle in its body was pushed out and slowly stretched in front of Cen Mingming who was motionless.

It was an eyeball that did not tremble. It was closed tightly and steadily, as if it did not want to open its eyes to hurt anyone who saw it, so it would rather remain blind and sleep in the body of a heretic.

——That was the left eyeball that was taken away from Lu Yizhan.

Now Captain Yu wants to give it back to him.

"I want to exchange this eyeball with you." Cen Mingming slowly raised his head, tears running down his face, "Captain Yu, please take my eyeball."

The moment he took Lu Yizhan's eyeball, Cen Mingming's left eye went empty, and tears and blood flowed out.

——So this is the pain that Captain Yu and Lu Yizhan felt?

Cen Mingming brought back Lu Yizhan's eyeball. Before he could react, the confused Lu Yizhan was rushed into the operating room. They were going to use some extraordinary heretic abilities to see if they could reattach Lu Yizhan's fallen eyeball.

Cen Mingming walked into the courtroom alone with his left eye, which had just been bandaged and was bleeding.

A pigeon startled by the gunshot beside the courtroom spread its snow-white wings and flew across the early morning sun. Cen Mingming watched all this calmly with his only remaining right eye, and then walked towards Fang Dian who had just walked out of the courtroom and completed the execution.

"Team Fang." Cen Mingming raised his head and looked at Fang Dian, "I want to stay in Team Two."

"I renounce my qualification to join the Inquisition."
