Episode 33
It's you.
"Yes, long time no see."
"Why? Why are you alive?"
You didn't know.
"......"
At that time, Benjamin Peter couldn't understand why the man, who was clearly dead, had come back to life and even appeared before him. Unless that person wasn't a person, but a pathetic scapegoat. No, that wasn't right. The wound wasn't fake; he was clearly dead, and it was a major artery that had been severed, which he had confirmed on the spot. How could this be? The terrorist leader, however, didn't intend to explain, because the face he was wearing was transplanted from his original face, and thinking about it now still made him want to vomit.
There are so many things about me that you don't know.
"what else?"
"Your shoulder is in the way."
"Is it too much of a nuisance?"
"I hurt your shoulder, you hurt my face and my carotid artery. Did you think I was dead?"
Benjamin Peter was dead, but there was something in his carotid artery at that time, so when Benjamin Peter cut his own carotid artery, he directly blocked it. Because as long as the blood spurted from the right spot, nothing would happen. Being able to fake it was the best strategy.
"What's the matter?"
"No, I."
"You can't believe, because I am there."
Benjamin Strawberry Peter directly told the terrorist leader that he never thought he would still be alive after all these years. This gave Benjamin Strawberry Peter the idea of continuing to oppose him and killing him.
"Kill me? Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"You will be dangerous."
Are you sure?
"Yes."
Benjamin Strawberry Peter was terrified and at a loss after what happened that night. He had indeed fought several rounds against the Big Poster Commando. The result was ostensibly a draw, but in reality, Benjamin Strawberry Peter had lost. As he said, the injury to his left shoulder was indeed a big hindrance.
"Ben!"
Don't worry.
"I know."
"No, you can't know him, because..."
"Shut up!"
Because his facial injury was completely healed, it prevented Benjamin Strawberry Peter from having a crippled left shoulder and facing future problems. The next second, Benjamin Strawberry Peter was grabbed by the neck by a terrorist and kicked against the wall. Before he could react, his left shoulder was nailed into place.
Ah~
“”
This shoulder was pierced by "eight hundred" nails in one go, a penetrating wound. Compared to a bullet wound, being pierced directly through the shoulder by a long knife is indeed very painful. However, the poster before the holiday is not big, and the leader of the assault team also wants revenge.
That night, Benjamin Peter was repeatedly stabbed in the shoulder, his shoulder being pulled out and then stabbed several times. At this point, he chose to fall into a coma instead of saying goodbye. The reason for his coma was not only excessive blood loss, but also internal organ rupture and massive bleeding. The next target of the big or small poster commando was Sasin's place.
"What exactly is the purpose of your visit?"
"Please enter the urn."
"wrong."
"Then what is the correct way?"
"......"
"Alright, choose one yourself."
"Then you should choose one too."
What should I choose?
"Did he die from a bullet lodged in his brain or a bullet lodged in his heart?"
Do you think this question is ridiculous?
"It's not laughable, because..."
Before he could finish explaining, a large group of people barged in. They were a third-party force, different from Benjamin and his group, or perhaps similar but not of the same ilk—similar to two major factions cooperating against a common enemy. He knew perfectly well that they couldn't have come unprepared; the SWAT team outside had just fired, hitting the head of the large-scale assault team in the brainstem.
"Is he faking his death again this time?"
Sasin directly criticized him at the time, and this time the leader did indeed die. As for Benjamin Tsugumi Peter, he was sent to the hospital, where he met Benjamin's mother and fell in love. Then, the next second, when he was brought in front of her, she immediately prepared the necessary tools for the operating room.
"Prepare for surgery!"
"good!"
In fact, she already knew that Benjamin Strawberry Peter had a shoulder injury back then. If his return this time was part of a pre-arranged agreement, then she had lost this time, nothing more. Half-dead, Rena realized that the person she knew was also seriously injured after seeing Benjamin Strawberry Peter, but she didn't want to know. Benjamin Strawberry Peter was the most seriously injured, and his girlfriend was more heartbroken than anyone else. But she knew she had to be calmer than anyone else present. Now she needed to avoid suspicion. She could provide guidance, and in just a moment, she saw a penetrating wound and severe internal organ damage.
"who?"
"My boyfriend."
"One or two penetrating wounds, but not fatal. The fatal wound is in the abdomen. There are signs of beating on the outside, but no bleeding. Is there internal bleeding?"
"good."
"Let's open the abdomen and stop the bleeding first."
"good."
—Post-surgery—
"The wound has almost healed; please ask her to come and take a look."
This was the first time Lena had avoided them since she learned about their relationship. It was something she was least good at. When Benjamin Peter told her about Sasin's girlfriend saying that the latter's stitches were not only painless but also looked very good, she immediately called Benjamin Peter's girlfriend over.
"You want me to stitch up the wound? Isn't Rena here?"
"exist."
"......"
That day, the two of them did one thing on the hospital bed—they got married. Then, in the following years, they would go abroad to get married, and when they returned, it was the year after Benjamin Peter's wife gave birth to Benjamin. Of course, at that time, Lena also gave birth to Sasin in the field hospital.
6.
"Benjamin has a younger brother."
"yes."
"It would be great if we could go to school together in the future. Having a good school would be very helpful for us, the families of martyrs and the relatives of those who fought for the country."
"I see..."
"By the way, what name did you give your child?"
"Benjamin Diethar Num".
"What a strange name..."
"Right?"
"Praying is certainly understandable, but why is it called Num?"
"I'll go ask our family's naming genius in a bit..."
"Just like my husband, because no one can 'give names' as well as him."
The two women, sharing a tacit understanding, naturally considered another possibility: were their husbands actually twins? This was merely their conjecture; they weren't twins, just simply had a very good relationship, and the most intimate thing they did was hug each other.
"Book......"
Why did you come here?
"Just came to see you."
Where is your wife?
“You’re talking badly about us to your wife outside!” Sasin explained to Benjamin Grassroots Peter while giving them a mischievous smile. However, they accepted the fact that the two grown men were hugging; they often saw this during treatments and emergency care, and it was commonplace.
"Feeling much better now?"
"Um."
"They were praising us as naming geniuses."
"Brother, that's not a compliment."
They laughed for two minutes, and then they split up to carry out missions in the following days. However, after separating at the hospital, they never reunited. The instructor was dead, suddenly dead. No one explained why he died so suddenly, nor did anyone know when he died. Although there was resentment towards him, their thoughts about him were mostly about the reward. Therefore, he came to find Benjamin Kasugano Peter elsewhere. He believed that if someone as strong as the instructor could be killed, there must have been more than one opponent, and besides, his body had still not been found.
“”
"Even an instructor with such formidable strength could be taken down; this isn't something a single person could accomplish..."
"Perhaps in a similar situation to ours. By the way, regarding the terrorist leader who seriously injured you, a piece of metal was found in his major artery, so he was..."
"I see, it's because of a principle similar to bulletproof vests."
"Ben, I came to see you today to go somewhere else with you. The instructor gave me a mission, but I have to go alone. Before that, I want to say goodbye properly. I won't leave and never come back, because you still owe me five bottles of wine."
"Okay, if you come back, I'll treat you to those five bottles of fine wine you want."
"Okay, it's a deal."
It's a deal.
—Two weeks later—
"Instructor He?"
"Don't you recognize him? He's the one who tried to reconcile the temperaments of Benjamin Peter and S.S. Sin."
Upon hearing his name, Sa-Sin turned around to look at the two people. It was the first time that strangers had looked at him with such murderous intent.
Finally, at a bar in a certain city, he found out what he wanted to know. He had a considerable amount of money on him, and he also had an informant there who could help him. When he asked the wanted man, the informant countered with a question:
Do you know who Instructor He is?
"I know."
"You're crazy! He's not someone who can be mentioned, not to those people."
"I know."
What is your purpose in coming here?
"Why did the instructor seek revenge?"
"......"
"If you don't want to be associated with me, you can keep your distance from me."
"this......"
"goodbye."
Sa-Sin abandoned this informant and even deleted his contact information. Looking back, his actions were cutting off his own escape route. If he cut off his only current contact, finding his instructor would become even more difficult. However, his informant seemed to misunderstand him, but compared to Sa-Sin, he was black and white in his views.
Who knows?
"Never heard of it."
"Really?"
"......"
Everyone pretended not to know, but for the tech-savvy Sa Xinzhi, this was a piece of cake. Of course, his actions naturally attracted the attention of some people. Unaware of the situation, Sa Xinzhi directly hacked into other phones with his tools. The only way he could find out about Instructor He's disappearance was through the dark web.
"This system is too easy to hack."
The next second, Lisa Shin found her instructor's message on the dark web. His livestream required payment to access, and even knowing the IP address meant it was just a VPN, making it unlikely to trace the IP's origin. To find her instructor, she paid a certain amount of Bitcoin required for the livestream to see what would happen next. The subsequent functions were identical to those of normal livestreaming software; they were subjecting her instructor to endless, inhuman torture.
"It's him!"
"Kill him!"
"Look at the naked bodies."
"......"
"Smash him!"
At that time, Benjamin Peter, the chief of the Confucian school, only took the initiative to talk to his wife about the problem of S.S.'s actions, which were never considered in terms of consequences.
"I don't understand, I still don't understand."
"What?"
Why does he particularly like doing this?
"Who knows? But his feelings for Instructor He were more about revenge, weren't they? He valued Instructor He more than anyone else, and he especially liked to show off his abilities in front of others. He just didn't expect that this display would end like this."
“He wasn’t trying to prove himself; he was the type who wanted a challenge more than anyone else. At least he thought Instructor He didn’t approve of him, but he didn’t know that Instructor He had already approved of him.”
"Do you approve...?"
"Let's go."
—After being discharged from the hospital—
Still no news.
"With a clear positioning, there's nothing to fear."
"I'd like to remind you that some things can't be solved with GPS because the people there are particularly dangerous, that's all."
"What I can think of is what Sa-Sin will do next?"
"Something extremely dangerous?"
“And he’s even more dangerous than those people. I have a feeling he might become a completely different person.”
"Another person? You mean...?"
"Lena, but it's better if you keep it a secret."
"I agree."
At this point, Benjamin Peter was already considering going to find Satya Namco, becoming the other extreme, which was not what the instructor wanted to see. The only thing he could think of was helping Instructor He escape from those devils. With that, Benjamin Peter took one last look at his wife and left.
"He wouldn't want to...?"
At that time, Benjamin Diethar Num had never seen his father—no, very rarely. His concept of a father was still confined to the village ruins, because his mother had refused to let him see her. Benjamin Kasugano Peter was already dead by then, and she knew this, but Lena didn't think so.
"Ben, after you left here for a while that day, a series of bad news came in, but none of it had anything to do with you. What exactly are you...?"
——Ten months later——
Where did this video come from?
"Oh my god, that's disgusting!"
"......"
Benjamin's mother, who knew about the video, also made a copy. The content was horrific, but she only watched the first part because she had to go and rescue a wounded soldier.
"What? He's dead?"
"Yes, there were two unidentified bodies. After bringing them back, it was discovered that one of them was Commander Benjamin's body. The other two remain unidentified. Because the other two bodies were destroyed, only his wasn't, therefore..."
"Don't say anything yet. Let's talk about the details after you get to the ward."
“No, I’m going to tell you now, because they’ve been looking for Benjamin’s son recently, and you need to take him to the safest place.”
The soldier died in the emergency room the next second. After she found out about this, she told Lao Liu about it. Yes, Benjamin's homeroom teacher. Because Lao Liu was a kindergarten teacher at the time, and he also had a child, he was quite good at coaxing children.
"Old Liu, I have a favor to ask of you."
"?"
"My son has been staying at your house for several years."
"......"
"I know this request is weak, but I have no choice but to ask you for help because I'm desperate."
"Alright, I'll come find you then."
No, I'll come find you.
"good."
Three days later, Benjamin's mother went to the house he had bought for himself, where her late husband Benjamin Peter's condolence money was kept. She wanted the condolence money only to pay off the mortgage on the house as soon as possible, nothing more.
"The monthly pension just covers the monthly mortgage payment, which seems pretty good, but when will it end?"
"Too."
"However, your situation might allow you to repay as little as possible."
"But doesn't that require an application?"
"It won't be long."
As for the application process, Lao Liu helped out, but it took too long because there were too many people queuing up to apply. The only time they could process applications was from 8:30 am to 5 pm on weekdays, so the mortgage payments continued as normal until the application was processed.
"I'm almost done with my work here. All that's left is for you to wait patiently."
"Oh right, I haven't treated you to a meal yet."
"?"
Benjamin's mother also invited Lao Liu down for dinner, as she wanted to tell him about what had happened over the past few days.
"What? Benjamin's dad's gone?"
"Yes, it's been almost a year since I left."
"So, have you found his body?"
"without."
"......"
“”
"A video came through; it was from something that happened two months ago. Before I saw my husband's dead body, I already suspected that after being missing for so long, the worst was likely to happen to him. Therefore, when I saw my husband's dead body, my emotions didn't fluctuate too much. Plus, I was mentally prepared to look forward, so..."
"There are quite a few people applying for the condolence money, and they are still in the queue. I really can't help for long, since we can't use back channels or contact relevant personnel now."
"......"
During their conversation that day, Benjamin's mother learned that Lena shared the same thoughts. She felt deeply saddened by their deaths in battle, and Benjamin then asked her to help take care of them.
"Was this their situation at the time?"
"Yes, but this video has been circulating for far too long, and no one knows who first spread it. In addition, the current terrorist leader is completely different from the terrorist leader of that time, and no one knows the relationship between the two."
