?04-recovery [recovery]

The first recovery came from the death of a teenager.Perhaps he was no longer a teenager. He was still young when he entered the prison, but he was an adult when he died.He seems to be his former subordinate, just seems.All his memories of this person come from other people's mouths.They said he took incredible care of the kid.

Incredible?

indeed.

He didn't believe it at all.

But it was that day, in a summer surrounded by the chirping of cicadas.A terrible premonition rose from his heart, like a curse, slowly flowing from the fallen body through the crowd and into his eyes.Pieces of unacceptably deep red bloodstains, bleak golden eyes that made people wonder.

Levi thinks he's hallucinating.

He seemed to see that said, his former subordinate met his eyes among so many people, and he seemed to see this person move his lips slightly.

He is blaming himself.Levi thinks, then dismisses the thought again.Does he have any reason to blame him, because the boss he once trusted didn't rescue him from the dark and cold dungeon?

Levi suddenly remembered the boy's face he saw a long time ago.After that meeting, the original execution date was postponed for three years. Han Ji desperately tried to pull this child out of that hell, trying various methods.But this only prolongs his life by three years.But what about these three years? ——Still pacing in hell, kissed by the god of death, and befriended countless punishments.Damp air and dark spaces.

What is Han Ji trying to do?With such a ridiculous face, what are you struggling to prove?

There is no way to find it, and she seems to be unable to explain why, but she just swallowed the question marks that kept surfaced in front of him.Staring at him with pity and fear, as if watching a shocking prank, it ended in this way.

Three months ago, he went to see that person again.

I heard that it was his request this time, and he was willing to plead guilty if he said so.I really can't imagine that after five years of stubborn resistance, I was about to give up just because I met him.It's a joke.But he went.why not.It was just the last struggle of a dying person, and he was willing to accompany him, not to mention that this person was his former subordinate, even if this period of time did not exist in his memory, he still had the responsibility.

--grown up.

His first impression here is the clear shadow of the first face he saw after waking up, quietly carved into a deeper appearance by time.The golden eyes were shining with some joy, and cast a longing look at him the moment he stepped into the cell door, desperately trying to find something from his face.

A trace of irritability surged in his heart, just like the feeling that forced him to retreat from here three years ago.Like a bug crawling on his heart, biting bite after bite, no pain but no way to heal.

"What's the matter?" Levi didn't know why he chose these three words as his opening remarks, but this time he clearly saw a kind of terrible despair that quickly appeared in the other person's eyes and disappeared immediately, it was ridiculous like The bubbles in the mermaid's eyes, the illusion of light and shadow.

It's just ridiculous.

Levi was thinking, but he didn't know why there was a sense of suffocation coming from the depths of his chest, like instinct, even if the twists and turns of the memory were unreliable, he still stuck to his post, he glanced around subconsciously , simple, extremely simple.The bed and the chains are all there is to it, exactly like that place.

——Where is it?

He felt that some invisible force was pulling him, starting from where he was standing, he climbed up the military boots, passed through the seam of his trousers, passed through his heart heavily, and strangled him desperately by the throat.

Levi tugged on his scarf.

"Why do you want to see me?" He still focused on that person, but the latter seemed to have no intention of speaking again, even though he remained silent at the beginning.But maybe it shouldn't be like this, maybe he himself wants to say something, wants to complain about something, wants to ask for something.

—From him?

He secretly responded to himself.

Yes, from him.

He was sure in such an instant that what memory he had lost, the first doubt in five years, probably, would be something very important.

I hope it will come in time.

Hope to come in time. ?
