Episode 27
"You..."
"?"
"It's up to you now."
The school doctor was quite speechless, as he hadn't expected Benjamin's homeroom teacher to pull this stunt. Sassin, however, seemed indifferent to their affairs, treating them like adopted children. When he realized he still had class, he discovered school was already over. Old Liu was there to pick him up. Only the school doctor and Old Liu knew what had happened during his nap.
"You're awake?"
"Oh right, I have to go to class."
School's out now.
"?"
"Look..."
The moment he turned on his phone, Sasin finally believed it. As for Benjamin's reply to him, Lao Liu could only tell him about Sasin. Sasin could guess the general content of the previous letter about their private strife, but he really couldn't have imagined the content of this letter.
"Holy crap, how long have I been asleep?"
Two hours.
"That's equivalent to two classes and four breaks between classes."
Old Liu didn't complain. He could tell that something was wrong with Sasin from his absent-mindedness in class today, but he couldn't say anything during class. The reason why Old Liu asked Sasin to go to the infirmary was because something happened the night before—someone was following him.
"who?"
—The night the accident happened—
"Benjamin, comrade, right?"
"right."
"Hello, we are from the office. Your documents have been processed. When would be a convenient time for you to pick them up?"
"When? I'm not available these days."
"It's like this, comrade. We'll be taking a few days off for equipment maintenance. If you come over in a few days, you might run into trouble. So if it's convenient for you now, please come and pick it up."
"Okay, I'll make time to pick it up today."
"grateful."
Despite his reluctance to go to the office, Sasin eventually did, but this experience caused him to stay home for the next few days, unwilling to go out, because he was being followed that very night after obtaining the certificate. Sasin felt someone was following him, but when he turned around, he didn't see anything. However, as he continued walking, he suddenly found someone appearing in front of him.
"You are, Sasin?"
"Who are you?"
Do you need to know who I am?
"What do you want from me?"
"It's nothing, we just wanted to discourage you from going."
"Give up your chance?"
“Come with us.”
“
......”
Sasin didn't want to deal with this lunatic and tried to leave, but the man grabbed his shoulder. His purpose was to get Sasin to produce his identification, and the reason was even more absurd: he'd somehow gotten information that he wanted Sasin to give the identification to the robber. Coincidentally, the robber noticed the name on the identification didn't match his actual name, and they wanted to blackmail him.
"Help! There's a robbery!"
"......"
"who!"
"......"
While Lao Liu was asking Sasin a few questions, he heard someone shouting "Robbery!" At first, he thought he had misheard, but the next second, when he ran in the direction of the shout, he found that the person shouting "Robbery!" really was Sasin! After seeing Sasin being robbed, Lao Liu immediately picked up a few stones from the shadows and threw them at the robbers' backs. Because someone was helping them and Sasin was injured, and because they had achieved their goal, they didn't linger and ran away immediately.
"Sashin!"
"Old Liu?"
“”
They stood silently facing each other in an apartment building, their backs to the sunlight. Old Liu's biggest fear was that something would happen to Sasin, because he had promised Benjamin. However, the only losses this time were that Sasin was frightened and his documents were stolen.
How did you end up here?
"I forgot to ask you a few things, so I came to your house to look for you, and I just happened to see this scene, so I came to help."
"......"
How are you?
"I'm fine, they just took my identification documents."
"Never mind, it's good that no one is hurt, and the ID can be replaced."
"What?"
Sasin's mind was basically still replaying the scene from earlier; he didn't even hear Lao Liu mention that ID cards could be reissued. However, he didn't show it too much on the surface. His plans were disrupted, and Lao Liu wanted to know why Li Zan had contacted them that day. Since Yu Luozhan hadn't come along, Lao Liu assumed he had gone to see Benjamin and Sasin alone. Later, after learning from others that Li Zan had spoken to Sasin, he wanted to ask him what had happened.
"I'll try to figure something out. Do you want to take a few days off?"
"No need, those people aren't students at the school, so there's nothing to worry about for now."
"That's true."
Benjamin is still resting with the military doctor in the East. He was captured by one of the terrorists when he went to cut the fuse of a bomb last time.
"who?"
"You're the legendary Benjamin, the guy I've fought with since childhood?"
"You recognized me?"
"......"
"It seems you've noticed me for a long time, so you should know how formidable I am, right?"
"So what?"
"Just so you know, I especially hate it when someone ambushes me from behind, especially when they hold a gun to my head."
The terrorists knew that Benjamin wouldn't perceive their words as a sign of surrender, and the terrorist leaders discussed their plans for the next terrorist attack.
“We’ve found information about the school Benjamin is currently attending, and we’re going to take him away from there without him being noticed.”
"Where?"
"Dongji Provincial Experimental High School"
"It looks like this place is pretty close to the school."
"Yes, but something is not quite right."
"What's wrong?"
"We need to shock him, which means we have to threaten him with a gun. But I'm wondering what kind of gun wouldn't threaten those people?"
"You're still so indecisive."
I'm sorry.
Don't worry.
One of the terrorists was just going along with what the other terrorists were saying. When he realized something was wrong, he quickly apologized and admitted that he wasn't actually a terrorist. He had joined the terrorist organization to seek revenge.
"revenge?"
"Yes, my wife is dead, my wife is dead by a man, he is a solider, his name is Jay Dark Ben."
"Ben? Oh!"
Do you know him?
"Yes."
"He is a dangerous solider, we must kill him."
"Yes, I killed him."
"My fairy, they've both gotten their revenge. Ten years ago, during a patrol, they were stopped by terrorists using their prized sniper rifles."
"JM16AZ? What do you do before?"
"......"
"Buy coffee now, I will be back."
One of the terrorists went to buy coffee. Naturally, the two terrorists didn't dare to neglect Benjamin's father. After tying him up, one of the terrorists went out to buy coffee, while the remaining terrorist was immediately questioned by Benjamin's father about the gun.
"JM16A2, what do you do before?"
"I can't answer, devil."
"Why? Why do you call me devil?"
You don't need to know.
"JM16AZ, solider bring, I guess you got a solider before, but you change this job if you happen in the solider."
"I am not solider, never."
Are you sure?
"Yes!"
"......"
"You killed my father and my mother."
I'm sorry.
"I want to kill you, so, we have a meeting, do you know? I find you 20 years! Yes, 20 years!"
"......"
When Benjamin's father heard that he had been searching for his parents' enemies for 20 years, he was naturally filled with mixed feelings of helplessness. However, the war had been going on for so long, and many of the soldiers he had trampled underfoot had gotten married because of this boring and disgusting war. Later, Benjamin's father told his wife about the sexual assault and abuse he had suffered.
"What kind of gun?"
"PTRS-41".
"You're not made of tank material. Isn't it a bit of an underutilization of your talents to let a PTRS-41 shoot you in the abdomen? No, isn't it a bit too much of an honor for you?"
"Hey! What do you mean? Are you in cahoots with them?"
"uh-huh!"
Benjamin's father also had a general idea of what would happen, but it wasn't a good one. The bullet had entered his chest cavity, right next to his heart. "One surgery should be enough," Benjamin's mother thought when she saw the film. She felt powerless to do anything about it. Those conversations were actually before the film was made.
—When saving yourself—
"A good solider, but you need not do anything, your wife can'te back if you killed me."
Do you understand me?
"You will done if you can't understand me, because you can't think more, why do you always telling me what to do?"
"Because your job is solider, protect country solider."
"......"
"You need to think."
Benjamin's father was wounded. Generally, people with severe injuries wouldn't run very far, but they never expected that Benjamin's father, whose injuries were even more severe, could still run. And this time, he could too. During their conversation, Benjamin's father discovered that the terrorist in front of him was using a JM16AZ, a weapon typically carried by soldiers. He wasn't afraid that this person would kill him; he was afraid that this person would become a wandering, lifeless ghost because of the reward. If he became a wandering, lifeless ghost, then he would have no choice but to shoot him himself to his death. This is the cruelty of war.
"I will kill you if you want to kill me."
Benjamin was making too many small moves at this time, while the terrorists kept circling around him. Whether they deliberately let him go or for some other reason, they just didn't notice Benjamin's sneaky antics.
"Biu!" The doctor exclaimed. The terrorist was dead, and the restraints on Benjamin's father were lifted. Naturally, he went to see his wife one last time.
Where?
It's over there.
"Herry up!"
"Quickly!"
"Quickly!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Here!"
"Shit!"
"Quickly!"
—Two minutes later—
"Captain!"
Why are you?
"Go back to the hospital!"
OK!
The secret rescue of Benjamin's father by the soldiers was also successful because of the obstruction from the other side. With the plan succeeding, the other side simply stopped fighting and threw several grenades before leaving to reunite with Benjamin's father.
What's happening?
He's hurt!
"Call the doctor!"
What's happening?
"Captain hurt!"
When Benjamin's mother saw her husband's injuries, she immediately asked them to help take him into the operating room. Several hours later, Benjamin's father woke up. As his wife, it was natural for her to say a few words to her husband. Three hours later, he was covered with a white sheet. She was very calm and didn't cry or make a fuss. This was the first time Lena had seen Benjamin's mother remain calm and rational under such circumstances.
Are you alright?
"I'm fine, let's hurry up and treat the next patient."
"good."
However, the terrorist who didn't kill Benjamin's father to avenge his parents found Benjamin himself. At that time, Benjamin still couldn't remember how his father died. His mother had kept silent about his father's death, and the terrorist's appearance was an attempt to find out about his father's story indirectly.
Why did you find me?
"Your father."
"My father?"
"Yes."
"Do you......"
Before Benjamin could finish his question, he saw one of the people turn on the light. Under the light, Benjamin squinted. He recognized the voice; it sounded familiar. He remembered someone who had approached him and lured him into a trap. Although he hadn't immediately identified the person then, he could now deduce their identity through their conversation. They were speaking Canadian, which Benjamin didn't understand. They knew he was fluent in many languages, but not Canadian. He listened carefully to see if they were using any technical terms.
"He is his son?"
"Yes."
"Oh my god!"
"He is the best solider, but he..."
What's happening?
"No."
The person who lured the enemy in remained silent about what had happened before. Despite being well cared for by Benjamin's father, he had been secretly colluding with terrorists behind his father's back—something no one could tolerate. Benjamin also believed that he had some unspeakable difficulties, so Benjamin's attitude was "uncertain, let's wait and see."
"Benjamin, you shouldn't have come back. If you come back, you will be seriously injured and die like your father. Do you want to remain stubborn and suffer the same fate as your father?"
"......"
"Stop playing dead!"
"......"
When one of the terrorists sensed something was wrong, he touched Benjamin's nostrils with his hand. Benjamin had already decided that if he were captured and it was very dangerous for him, he would commit suicide by poisoning himself, but only by suffocation, not by actual death.
"How is the situation?"
He can't die!
"I know!"
In the previous part, Benjamin was unable to take out the drug that would cause him temporary death because Sasin was at home. Finally, while Sasin was asleep, Benjamin took out the drug that he had put in the suitcase, which contained all the drugs.
"Pain?"
"Yes, pain."
"He is dead?"
"Possible".
"Shit!"
Benjamin thought his actions would deter them, but the experienced terrorists didn't think so. He was then punched in the upper abdomen, and seeing no reaction, the terrorists punched him several more times in the upper abdomen. Again, Benjamin showed no reaction. Finally, he was thrown outside.
"He is dead if he can't move."
Let's go!
"Yes, sir!"
—Three days later—
Where is this?
"......"
His body was covered in wounds of varying sizes. Although he had escaped death by feigning death, his injuries meant he wouldn't be able to see anyone for a while. It was now the third Saturday and Sunday, and the only way to be discharged within eight days was through rehabilitation. If he completed rehabilitation and, given his physical condition, he wouldn't need it, he would be discharged directly to see Sasin. The person he saved was...
Who are you?
"I am a doctor."
"......"
"Can you speak Chinese?"
"Yes, I can."
The next second, Benjamin started talking to the female doctor about everything from injuries to other things. From that conversation, Benjamin discovered she was a confident, courageous, and resilient woman. Later, after learning what Wenwan knew, Benjamin was asked a few questions by her:
"How old are you? Are you here to be a mercenary?"
18.
"18? So young?"
"......"
