The sky was an endless gray-white, as winter days always do.The dry cold wind brushed across the cheeks, leaving red marks mercilessly, taking away the remaining temperature of the human body, leaving only a little coldness.

No matter the weather, people who work still have to work.

Akai Shuichi had just come out of the conference room, and now he sat back in his car.The temperature inside the car was also very low. He didn't rush to drive, but lit a cigarette leisurely first, and looked out the window casually.

It was also at this time that he realized that it was snowing in Tokyo.

At the beginning, it was just a few wisps like flying catkins, like an illusion, and then the snow gradually became bigger, fluttering and mighty, as if it piled up all the white clouds in the sky and covered everything with a layer of silver. White tunic.

It was also at this time that out of nowhere—a familiar figure of a young boy flashed in Akai Hideichi's mind.

[Ley! 】

"..."

That child, it must have been a warm season when he fell into the sea.

The cigarette between his fingers stopped at that position, and the emerald eyes narrowed slightly.

The siege against the organization finally succeeded, and many old unjust cases and old love affairs were uncovered and re-solved.Miyano Akemi is still alive, which is surprisingly good news. Akai Shuichi has seen the Miyano sisters walking through the streets arm in arm.

At that time, his car was parked on the side of the road, but he did not get out of the car.

As the FBI, as an undercover agent of the organization, Akai Shuichi killed many people.

Men, women, guilty and innocent, strangers and close ones, all of them had their blood on his hands.Akai Shuichi knew that everything was irreparable, but he never indulged in the past, but continued to walk firmly, silently shouldering all the things he had to bear.

Only occasionally, when the task was idle and the nicotine paralyzed himself, those figures would flash in front of him-the brown curly-haired boy was the one who appeared most often.

The other party in the phantom was still yelling loudly, with bleating words following every sentence, with a rising and cheerful tone.It's just that at the final parting, the illusion that slips past is always quiet and monochromatic, like a thin piece of paper.

The living still walk on the ground, while the dead stay forever in the night before dawn, with a black and white line between dawn and dusk.

The original Little Sheep Icewine was hit in front of his eyes and fell into the sea.Although Shuichi Akai knew deep down that he was not Ley, he had to admit that this was indeed something he had personally experienced and even manipulated.

That boy with a strange mouth habit, always pestering himself, showing a playful smile when receiving small money, and an awkward and kind heart, will never see the sunrise of the next day, and he sleeps peacefully in the deep sea.

And he was one of the accomplices in the hunt.

Furutani Rei once gave Akai a hard punch when the brainwashing was over.After the meeting where the organization was destroyed, they met again in the hallway.

The blond-haired man had a fake smile on his face that hadn't been put away before the meeting, and when Akai Shuichi asked about "ice wine", that smile gradually became cold and sharp.

Akai Hideichi didn't know why he asked this question, but after asking, he didn't explain anything, just looked back with a flat expression.

Jiang Gu Ling's purple-gray eyes sank, and he clenched his fists: "Hey...you guy, why do you still maintain such a calm posture! Bastard, you always have this expression, no matter what happens , Always so silent and flat...!"

Akai Hideichi noticed the opponent's clenched fist, and he thought Rei Furutani was about to attack.In fact, of course he would not stand still and do nothing, Akai Shuichi was ready to dodge and counterattack.

However, Furutani Rei didn't do anything, he just kept a sharp expression, and said coldly: "There are no photos. Not a single photo, Watanabe...is a genius hacker, and all the information has already been cleared by himself There is no way to recover."

Oh no surprise.Akai Shuichi blinked slightly.He knew Icewine was a pretty good hacker.

And the photo... maybe there was one.But now there is nothing.

Akai Hideichi once tried to use other reasons to entrust the people of the organization to restore the data in the mobile phone, but it was unsuccessful-everything disappeared completely without trace, just like the disappearance of the little sheep ice wine.

Maybe the impression stays here is good.Just let Icewine stay in the impression of a certain organization member who sacrificed in the red-black game.

However, Furutani Rei went on to say: "He wants to go to school... Watanabe saves money to save his friend, and wants to redeem that kid Hiroki from Schindler's company, and He goes to school together."

"He wants to make friends and study with Hiroki. Watanabe's skills are so good, he will definitely become a top student in this major, and maybe he will participate in fellowships, receive scholarships, and become an outstanding talent in the industry."

"He wants to go to school." Jiang Guling raised his eyes and repeated word for word, "but now, there is nothing left."

"..." Akai Shuichi fell silent.The boy's soft voice rang in his ears, and then he recalled that the other party was indeed at the age that should go to school.

But Watanabe has no future.

Rei Furuya took a deep breath, and he changed his hand to hold the document: "I said, I thank you for the matter of Hiro, and rationally, I also know that Watanabe's death cannot be blamed on you. But, but—" Gu Lingban lowered his head, he was trying to restrain his emotions, his golden hair was shaking in front of his eyes, "...I, still can't forgive."

The words sound inconsistent.But Akai Shuichi could understand.

——I can't forgive the organization that is the culprit, I can't forgive Shuichi Akai who is an accomplice, I can't forgive the current situation that made Ice Wine a victim, and I can't forgive myself who was so close at that time but didn't notice and change anything.

Although they all knew that in the overall situation, Icewine's death brought a better ending, and his death was worthwhile.

But from a personal point of view, no one accepts that someone close to them is the victim of a harvest.

When Fugu Ling raised his head again, he had put on that mask again.He put the folder under his arm, and said in a bored voice, "So, you FBI, get out of Japan."

"..." Akai Hideo paused and replied, "We will go back when all parties reach a relatively unanimous agreement."

He didn't say "the FBI will go back".Because this involves a deeper level of US-Japan relations.These are not things they can change.

In the face of certain big situations, they are just ordinary people who are powerless in it.

"Then leave quickly." Jiang Gu Ling didn't say any more, he opened his legs and strode away.

Akai Shuichi stayed where he was.

The words just now appeared clearly before his eyes again.

【Watanabe, he wants to go to school. 】

And the blurred pictures of the cruise ship have become a little clearer.

The brown-haired teenager happily shared his first boat ride with him and happily sent those photos to his best friend.When he said those unclear words about money, when the wind lifted his little braid, there was a youthful and lively breath, not a decadent smell of money.

He said he had already saved a lot of money.

Is it close to success?Ready to go to school to fulfill your dream of rescuing your friends?

Akai Shuichi didn't know.At that time, Ley did not have the patience to listen and ask.

He lowered his green eyes, walked out of the building, and silently lit a cigarette.

The smoke is hazy, with an untouchable illusion.It coincides with the scene at this time.

Akai Hideichi retracted those thoughts, he opened the car window, and let the cold winter wind take away the erratic white mist.His gaze swept over the promotional posters pasted on the side of the street. The photos of the spokespersons on them were eye-catching and eye-catching.

This reminded him of the email he received not long ago.

One day after everything was over, he received another mysterious email.

When he caught sight of the mailbox number, Akai Shuichi's keen thinking stopped for a rare moment, and then some memories in the back of his mind were rekindled—this is the mailbox number belonging to Icewine.

He used to be a partner, so he memorized the other party's mailbox number.

Seeing this string of numbers that he hadn't seen for a long time again, Akai Hideichi opened the email with a calm attitude, and began to speculate about possible new plots and traps in his heart, and planned his future work.

And there is no phishing content in the email.All that caught my eye was a very familiar photo.

——Under the gorgeous background of sunset and sunset, the brown-haired boy smiled shyly and cheerfully. He waved to him exaggeratedly and naturally, and the boundary line between the sea and the sky stretched infinitely behind him.

This is a photo full of life and future.

And under the photo is a simple line of text:

[The photo was taken beautifully, I forgive you! 】

The hand holding the mobile phone tightened for a moment, Akai Shuichi narrowed his wolf eyes, his temples throbbed, leaving him blank for a moment—who is the other party and what is his purpose?What's next? !

He stared at the screen for a long time.However there was no reply.

Akai Shuichi's rationality told him not to reply hastily, in order not to reveal any news that should not be leaked.He wiped the phone with his fingertips, and after a long pause, he slowly entered a string of phone numbers——

He called Ling Gu Ling.

Regardless of whether it was real icewine or not, the other party would definitely contact the two of them.

Whether it is a trap or the truth, Akai Shuichi must find out who is behind this!

... So, what was the result of the verification at that time?

Akai Shuichi took a deep breath of the cigarette and crushed it in the ashtray.

He can't remember exactly the exchange with Furutani Rei at that time.However, the other party seemed to have also received a message from Icewine.

Then, Little Sheep Icewine's boss, the hidden boss Jiang Lai, specially explained to them after the meeting.They said that the little sheep was actually still alive. At that time, they had people preparing protective gear and supporting them, and now Icewine was studying abroad——then showed them the video made by the little sheep.

The brown-haired boy in the video is still full of youthful vigor, waving to the camera, sharing joy with a smile, and then pouting about his recent homework.

Akai Shuichi and Furutani Rei watched the entire video in silence without speaking.This was different from the player's initial imagination, so Jiang Lai finally broke the silence and asked them if they had anything else to ask.

And they didn't ask any more.

True or not, this ending is already pretty good.There is no need to further understand, so as not to mistakenly see through some originally beautiful reunions.

So much for the icewine thing.

—Is this the end?

Shuichi Akai glanced at the news that was being broadcast on the building's display screen. Schindler's company came to Japan for a development conference. At the conference, the latest simulated reality technology "cocoon" will be announced.

Familiar company name, familiar Thomas Schindler.

It's not over yet.Akai Shuichi started the car, looking into the distance with sparkling eyes.

They also have a long overdue justice for the two teenagers.
