Episode 6
"Yes, sir!"
This unexpected situation left the soldiers speechless, not even daring to breathe loudly, creating a somewhat desolate atmosphere as they prepared to clean up the battlefield.
"Dr. Pei."
"Why!"
Pei Xiaonan, who had just turned around, saw Song Ran looking flustered. She thought she would be able to see Li Zan this time she came back, but she never expected that Song Ran would stand on tiptoe and see her beloved standing in the distance.
"He has changed."
"......"
No one paid attention to what Song Ran was saying. The others who had witnessed the whole thing were still recalling the battle. One of them said that when Sasin was shot from behind by a hidden gun in the distance, Song Ran didn't listen to anyone or even check with the others about the danger of the battlefield before running straight towards Li Zan. No one cared about her because she wasn't as loyal, calm, or righteous as Sasin. Moreover, she had indeed received Benjamin's care, and everyone agreed that someone who could receive Benjamin's care was no ordinary person.
"Penetrating wound."
"And it's the kidney."
"As expected of you."
"You're amazing too."
"I hope nothing bad happens to him."
"It's unlikely to cause any problems. Judging from the bullet, it should be the PTRS-41 rifle commonly used in World War II."
"That bullet was most likely custom-made."
Meanwhile, Benjamin, seeing that the terrorists were powerless to do anything, simply took off his belt and stretched out his hand.
"Out!"
"Yes...yes sir."
One of the mercenaries was so frightened by the murderous aura emanating from Benjamin that he almost lost his composure. As they were leaving, Benjamin whipped the terrorist who had fired the shot 81 times.
"ah!"
Ah~
"ah......"
"Please spare me~"
Eighty-one lashes had been delivered, leaving the terrorist in a state of near-death. However, Benjamin felt no satisfaction at all, because the injured person was not him but Sasin. Moreover, the location of this penetrating wound was not good. The damage caused by the eighty-one lashes could not compare to the damage caused by the modified bullet. He was now in a semi-conscious state, and for him, that man's life was more important.
"Where are the Sahin people?"
"Arrived at the hospital, undergoing surgery."
"How is the situation?"
"Just as you said, it really is a penetrating wound."
"......"
"PTRS-41 sniper rifle?"
"Um."
"If I remember correctly, that gun needs at least custom-made bullets to enhance its penetrating damage, right?"
You mean...?
“I know you saw Li Zan during the war, but there’s something I want to tell you that you should be prepared.”
"......"
"Reporter Song has arrived."
"Song Ran?"
"She came looking for Li Zan. She probably found out about Li Zan deserting from somewhere and wanted to come and ask him about it in person."
"This is a bit troublesome."
"Why?"
"I unexpectedly saw him standing at a corner. After that, he also became a completely insane person, and now he doesn't even spare children."
"A child? Come to think of it, Sasin saved a child before this. Could Li Zan be talking about him?"
"I hope it's not him."
However, before that, Sasin asked Pei Xiaonan to keep something a secret, because last night he also dreamed about Benjamin being tortured to death by a child.
Where is Benjamin?
"......"
"......"
"Don't look!"
That was a few years later. Benjamin suddenly switched shifts with Sasin, because he felt things were getting weird. When they found him, he was already dead, and his death was quite gruesome. Even Pei Xiaonan, or soldiers who had seen a lot, would vomit at the sight of Benjamin being cruelly tortured to death. He had been dead for a long time, and his body was being devoured by pests.
"Book!"
"......"
Later, he repeatedly recalled this incident in his dreams. Because he had this dream for so long, he became frightened and told Pei Xiaonan about it, asking her to keep it a secret.
"It's obvious you like him a lot."
"I don't like it."
"Is she being stubborn and aloof? Or is she just jealous?"
"They're about the same..."
"......"
Pei Xiaonan didn't care about Sasin asking for her help, because she knew this would make Benjamin realize they were bound to argue. More importantly, she needed to figure out how to keep Benjamin from getting angry. Coincidentally, Benjamin had just come out there, his hands covered in blood from the whip marks he'd left on the terrorist.
"Still alive?"
"We can't let him die."
"Well said."
"......"
“Go ahead, Sasin is waiting for you. Give him the star that represents the letter B.”
"good."
They didn't even need to mention the name or location of the hospital where Sashin was staying, because they basically went back to that hospital to pick up and drop off their comrades, and the military doctor there was recommended by Pei Xiaonan, so he was quite reliable.
"Give my regards to the Sassins."
"You two have such a great understanding."
"I dare not accept such praise."
"It's a real shame you're not his girlfriend."
No, I don't like him.
"Why?"
"......"
"Were you in a relationship but broke up acrimoniously for some reason?"
"No, he did confess his feelings to me, but we're not on the same wavelength, so I rejected him."
"What a pity."
"What's there to regret? We handled things quite well afterwards. Besides, we probably couldn't even be friends after the breakup. He's a very affectionate man, but he was affectionate with the wrong person."
"So he chose Sasin?"
He was in unrequited love.
"That's true, there's absolutely no indication that Sasin likes him that much."
Sasin's surgery was still underway. Although it was determined to be a penetrating wound, the doctors discovered another bullet in his kidney during the examination! Fortunately, he was brought in in time, and Sasin's surgery was successful. When Benjamin, who later arrived at the hospital operating room, heard the results, he collapsed to the ground.
"Are you a patient...?"
"Boy friend."
"......"
Although one of the doctors was shocked, the doctors who came out of the operating room afterward had heard others describe all sorts of relationships to them, so it wasn't surprising to them that Benjamin had said that. They were just more worried about whether they would be criticized for blurting out such a relationship.
"Transfer to another ward."
"good."
One day later
"Benjamin?"
"Oh, you're awake?"
"What are you doing here? Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!"
"Be careful, so the wound doesn't reopen and require another operation."
Benjamin had never been so gentle with Sasin before, but being gentle with him now did not mean he would be this gentle with him in the future. The Sasin that Benjamin saw was still the same Sasin, but the Benjamin that Sasin saw was a different Sasin.
"Your dark circles are so bad..."
"You look terrible."
"Likewise."
"Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Once you are discharged from the hospital, I will definitely send you to the solitary confinement room. Please be mentally prepared."
"Can we not go here?"
"No way~"
"Why?"
"Because you are weak and helpless, and you often act recklessly, I think you are suited to reflect on yourself in solitary confinement."
"you!"
"What do you mean, 'you'?!"
"Wait till I get out of the hospital and see how I deal with you!"
Fourteen days later
This was the second day that Sasin had been put in solitary confinement. This time, Benjamin sent him to a more advanced solitary confinement cell. Benjamin rarely used this cell, but because of Sasin's reckless actions, Benjamin unexpectedly found that this cell was more suitable for Sasin.
"Open the door!"
"Yes, sir!"
Although it was a high-level solitary confinement cell, it did not prevent Sasin from shouting "Let me out!" in the cell. Benjamin went to the solitary confinement cell this time to "silence" him.
"Are you really going to lock me in solitary confinement?"
"Otherwise what? You're showing off right after being discharged from the hospital. Aren't you afraid of reopening your wound?"
"I've called your name at least ten times now. Do I look like something's wrong?"
"Go ahead and call my name again if you dare!"
"Benjamin!"
With a "Ah~", Sasin collapsed onto the bed. He had never seen Benjamin so violent before. But this made Benjamin realize the problem that had been bothering him for a long time. Sasin was still suspicious.
"Let me out!"
"I'm not interested in how you get out or even how you get back once you're healed, but if you're going back, I suggest you don't come back, so I don't have to take time out of my schedule to visit you."
"You just don't want to save me, do you?"
"Yes, I didn't want to save you at all."
"Fine, if you don't want to help, then don't. It's no big deal."
Sasin appeared happy upon hearing this, but inwardly he was deeply saddened, not happy at all. He was unsure of what he meant to Benjamin. This was one reason; another was that he had a one-sided love for Benjamin, that there were better people out there, and that he would meet even better people in the future.
"Scumbag."
"......"
"You don't like him?"
"like."
"Then why did you say he deserves to be liked by someone better?"
"For no reason."
"Scumbag."
"In any case, this is not a bad thing for him."
"Why?"
"Because I tried to persuade him to go back and not come back."
"......"
"It's precisely because he agreed that I was even more surprised."
"Um?"
"I hope he doesn't overthink it."
"He won't overthink things, but you might be more likely to. However, I advise you that if you really like him, you should confess your feelings as soon as possible. At least he's not as cowardly as you when it comes to relationships."
"In fact, I did kiss him in the solitary confinement room, but at that time I was more rational than emotional, and more importantly, he had no experience in dating."
"I see. But aren't you worried about him being sexually harassed?"
"I'll go back and check on things these next few days if there's anything else going on."
A few days later, Sasin really did go back, along with his colleagues from the company's unified department. As for Song Ran, she was basically nowhere to be found after Li Zan was located.
"Good job!"
"......"
Who is she?
"Sorry, I don't know her."
"......"
"Your wife?"
"No, she is a reporter."
"Oh my god!"
"Repotter? Why not!"
“What want you do you do? ”
"Fuck..."
"......"
"Oh my god!"
"Do you know her?"
No, I don't know.
"Get of here!"
"......"
They thought the matter would end with Song Ran being implicated, but then a third party intervened, not only stopping their actions but also wiping them out. The intervention of this third party also caught the attention of this year's Honorary Sasin.
"What, are you going to personally take me home?"
"I'll take you back to your workplace."
"That's true, you don't even know where I live?"
"I know I don't have time to go."
"......"
"Be careful when you get home."
"You've told me this over 800 times these past few days: the wound can't get wet."
"......"
"So what was the real purpose of sending me home?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to see you off."
There are two things you want to know.
"What?"
"One is about the involvement of a third party, and the other is what you really think."
"?"
"A third-party force somehow wiped out the enemy's stronghold. Rumor has it that the 'enemy' here refers to Li Zan's group. But as a reporter who's been here for so long, I haven't found a single clue. And Song Ran has vanished without a trace since then. I think Li Zan must have been looking for you during the time you suddenly disappeared. I just want to know, what did Li Zan say to you?"
"A child is watching me."
"?"
"It's over there, before many days."
"I don't know, he didn't say."
Are you sure?
"Yes."
"......"
Sasin became increasingly uneasy as he thought about it, because he suddenly remembered that the child standing in the center of the gunfire hadn't shown any fear; he seemed like someone who had been through a long battle. At that moment, Sasin finally understood that when Li Zan told Benjamin, "A child is watching him," he was referring to the child who had shielded him from the bullets with his own body.
"Do me a favor."
"What kind of help?"
"Give this to her."
"What?"
After parking the SUV in a suitable spot, they immediately took the letter Sasin had given them. It contained only one line:
"To Doctor Pei?"
It's her.
"......"
I feel more at ease leaving it to you.
"What a lame excuse..."
But the car still didn't move, because he was waiting for Sasin to explain what was on his mind.
"Didn't you say I had something on my mind?"
"right."
"Do you know what's really on my mind?"
"have no idea."
"......"
At first, he thought Benjamin was trying to trick him into answering, but it turned out that Benjamin was staring intently at him, which prevented the latter from giving a direct answer.
Let's go.
"I'm not leaving."
"Not leaving? Then what do you want to do?"
"Don't even think about leaving here until you've explained the problem clearly to me!"
"you!"
"Will you tell me or not!"
Parking is not allowed here!
"Why?"
"Because this isn't the place to chat."
Sasin's statement implied that they hadn't yet reached the country where her organization was located, which was one reason. Another reason was that terrorist activities were still active, and she didn't know if this was their stronghold. Who would be responsible if something happened?
"....."
"Aren't you afraid of a terrorist airstrike if you park here...?"
"Afraid."
"Then let's drive!"
"Yes, yes, little Sasin."
"......"
