Net king's supernatural family
Chapter 9 Execution of tasks
For a moment the air froze, no one would have expected that she would say such decisive words, no one knew that the girl who had gone through all the baptisms could still smile sincerely, but the loneliness in those blue eyes was irrelevant. People can understand, she covered up again, as usual, no one found her hiding, her loneliness, her sadness, in fact, this is not bad, so that she can live alone and strong, really Yes, that's not bad.
Sanada's father clenched his fists and turned to leave. Sanada Genichiro didn't say anything, but the disgust in his pupils, I'm afraid Ruoer Chengcen will never forget him in his life. He is a man full of sense of justice. How could such a dirty man accept such a dirty fact? !
Ruoer Chengcen took everyone's expressions into his eyes, with a smile still rippling on the corners of his lips, and looked down at the beautiful woman beside him who was silently crying, and naturally took out a handkerchief to gently wipe her tear-stained face, turned around, leave.
The "thank you" that remained in the air may mean a lot to her, but after all, she has no reason to look back, her footsteps seem to be heavy but she has not stopped, she knows that she should not stay here, should not stop Too much contact with this group of people.
She doesn't allow it, and neither does the organization.
"Fuck..."
In the face of Ru Ruan's weak call, she still held her head high and walked firmly through every step.White clouds are still dotted with the blue sky, occasionally a few sparrows pass by, she clearly sees their wings flapping hard, what kind of strength must be contained in their small bodies to soar, and how much courage do they have to muster to dare to fly. Facing the sky.
Whenever this time, she would always look up to the sky and feel the unreachable distance.
"It's great, no one stopped me from leaving." The arc of the corner of the mouth gradually slid down until it was covered.
In vain, she felt that all the strength in her body was drained. Even if she was bloody, it didn't matter if she died, but after all, no one told her, 'You are yourself, and you will always be the treasure in my heart. People don't matter. ' or something like that.
The vibration of the mobile phone brought back her drifting thoughts, and her body was out of control almost at the same time, as if subconsciously, "Hello."
There was silence on the other side of the phone, and after a long while, a hoarse voice came, "The electric wave is not good" and she knew that Yamazaki was trying to peek into her heart again, so she immediately cleared up her emotions, and the corners of her mouth raised.
"What? I just called to say this? Or is there any activity in the organization?" It is impossible for Yamazaki to call her for no reason, unless it is an emergency or an internal problem in the organization, as expected.
"There is an action at night, the information... Do you want to read it?"
"Well, I'm coming back now."
She hung up the phone, looked at the frozen picture on the screen, and sighed deeply.The Radio Wave girl is really scary. Although the other party needs a certain medium to use their abilities, but telling her that the Radio Wave is not good will inevitably make her feel depressed!
Pushing her feet vigorously, she jumped onto the roof with all her strength, falling together and falling at an extremely fast speed. There were very few buildings nearby, and no one would probably notice, but she ignored the contemplative gaze behind her.
Sure enough, kimonos are just uncomfortable.
*******************************************************
"Hey! Commoner, Miss Ben has kindly invited you to watch the finals, since you dare to miss my appointment?!"
Ruoer Chengcen smiled awkwardly. She seemed to have forgotten about it. She turned on the phone dumbly, and was immediately overwhelmed by tens of thousands of missed calls on the interface. How long can it bear, if it continues like this, it will crash!
"Suzuki!" Fei Yue gritted her teeth, the long knife in her hand had already been unsheathed.
"Pay attention to your tone." Yamazaki shook his slender eyebrows, holding the crystal ball high with one hand with a blank expression, damn it!This is going to be smashed directly!
In less than two or three sentences, the three of them fought again.She said, "Actually, I have to go" and swallowed it back abruptly. It is a wise choice to keep silent at this time.
Ruoer Chengcen closed the door and took off the cumbersome kimono as he walked.When she walked to the coffee table, there was only a thin one-piece skirt left, and she casually opened the folder, a hint of fanaticism gradually emerged in her dark eyes, and her face became more gloomy every time she turned a page.
"What are you going to take away this time?" She rubbed the space between her brows, feeling a pain in her head.
The three of them also stopped at this time, and it was Miss Suzuki who spoke first, "The superior said that the collection of 'that person' is missing a pair of eyes, a pair of eyes that are on the verge of death and panic, and they need to be fresh." After finishing, Suzuki couldn't help shaking the goose bumps on his body, and cursed in a low voice.
"This kind of disgusting thing again?" Yamazaki covered his nose in disgust, and the blade in his hand slowly penetrated into his palm. While wearing a group of almost transparent Ruoer Chengcen, his cheeks were still flushed, he looked away unnaturally, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised at an angle that no one noticed.
In a trance, a black figure broke in from the floor-to-ceiling glass window, the cloak was flipped up lightly, the golden yellow and soft hair was tied into a bun on the top of the head, and the crystal eyes were shining with a clear light. There is no doubt that he His next move was to throw himself on Ruoer Chengcen without thinking about anything, "Master, I miss you so much."
"Be careful!" x4
"Bam—"
After a loud noise, the glass and porcelain on the coffee table shattered to the ground. Ruoer turned sideways to try to avoid the shards, and looked at Yi Xue who was rubbing in his arms, his face turned so dark that even his facial features could not be seen clearly. If she knew this, she should have avoided him early and let him hit the glass screen directly to give him a long memory, but wouldn't such a pretty little face be ruined? !Sure enough, subconsciously, does she still hope that she can do her best to spoil him? !What kind of perverted gentleness is this? !
Yi Xue stared at Ruoer Chengcen with wide-eyed innocent eyes. He obviously just missed the captain too much. He thought it was a waste of time to take the elevator so he came in from the window on purpose. It saves time and effort, and the angle is just right. But why is the leader's face so pale?Could it be that his expression is not enthusiastic enough?
"Ding-dong-"
At this time, the doorbell rang.Ruoer Chengcen picked up the coat that Fei Yue handed over and put it on, motioned for the other three to hide aside first, took a breath, picked up Yi Xue and walked to the door, with his ears pressed against the wooden door, there was no mechanical sound, sideways Looking at Yamazaki who closed his eyes and meditated, "It's a kind electric wave, open the door!"
She opened the door slowly, and there was a white-haired but straight-backed old woman standing outside the door. She recognized the old woman as the nanny of the neighbor's house, a lonely old man who usually cooks and cleans for the owner Hygiene to survive.
"Son, are you okay?! I heard a loud sound of falling things just now, is something wrong?" The moment the old grandma saw her, she began to look her up and down, and then she relaxed quietly after noticing that she was not injured in any way. tone.
Ruoer Chengcen looked into the eyes of the old man, and her hanging heart finally came to fruition. At this moment, she raised her face and looked at Yi Xue who bowed her head and bit her finger in her arms, "It's all this bad boy who broke the teacups. Fortunately, he was not injured." She raised her hand and flicked Yi Xue's head, "Quickly apologize to the old grandma!"
Yi Xue muttered and left Ruoer Chengcen's arms before bowing solemnly, "I'm so sorry for making you worry." Tears glistened in her silver-gray pupils, and she looked so wronged that she wanted to cry without tears. The appearance of the old man bought the heart of the old lady in just a moment.
"It's fine, don't blame him, children are ignorant, teach him more..."
When Yi Xue heard someone calling him a child, he raised his head immediately, his mouth pouted high, and when he was about to fight back, he received the murderous gaze sent by his team leader, pursed his mouth, and finally lowered his little head again.
After the two greeted each other a few words, the old lady told her that she was going home to cook. Ruoer Chengcen said goodbye with a smile and closed the wooden door.He lowered his head and looked at Yi Xue with a funny face. He stared at the candy presented by the grandmother in his palm motionlessly, and tugged at the hem of her clothes with a sad face, "Can I...can I eat it?"
"Of course." Ruoer Chengcen rubbed his blond hair, his eyes were full of warmth.This was the intention of the old lady, she had no children, and the neighbors had no children, and she herself didn't eat it, so it was obviously prepared for this mischievous naughty ghost.
Noticing the happiness on that smiling face, she was relieved.If it was a child from an ordinary family, at this age, he should act like a baby in the arms of his parents and enjoy the love of his mother, right? !In his heart, he counted a certain deceitful organization severely, and his face turned cold.
midnight at twelve:
"ready to go."
"Yes." x4
Leaping over the high-rise buildings, they turned around and entered the alley. The night sky was suffocatingly silent, and a few not-so-bright stars were twinkling. Everyone looked at Yamazaki who was holding a crystal ball in his arms, and made a gesture one after another. Wink.
"It's true that the electric wave shows here." The crystal ball restrained the halo, and Yamazaki's eyes showed a bloodthirsty light, "And there is only one person, and the electric wave is also very weak..."
"Hmph, killed 56 children, raped/violated [-] young girls to death, plus all the crimes of theft, and still dare to stay in Japan, it seems that you are not an ordinary idiot." Fei Yue pulled out her long knife , threw the handle of the knife casually, and turned into the blind corner of the alley first, "Whether it is a kendo master, aikido master, taekwondo master, muay thai master, I will take him down!"
As Fei Yue muttered to herself angrily, the other four shook their heads helplessly and followed behind.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ah
Ruoer Chengcen squinted his eyes, relying on the faint moonlight to see clearly the man huddled in the corner, his face was full of stubble, his hair was disheveled, his body was emaciated, and his body smelled of alcohol. Holding a photo frame, Ruoer Chengcen seemed puzzled as he seemed to be whispering, his eyes shifted, but he didn't notice their existence.After a while, the man seemed to have calmed down a lot and began to cry.
"Why? Why, why, why did you do this to me?! Why?..."
Feiyue put away the long knife, pursed her lips, in front of her was just a depraved man, without bodyguards, assassins, or any ability to protect herself, the one who committed the unforgivable crime... really this man?
"Yamazaki, are you sure you didn't find the wrong person?" Ruo'er Chengcen asked softly, "After robbing so many jewels, you're still so decadent?! Isn't it logical?!"
"The guidance of radio waves proves that those crimes did exist in his mind." Yamazaki was rare serious, and the doubts in his eyes were fleeting.
"Then... is it possible for a memory to be implanted by a third person, thereby changing a person's behavior?!" She knew that she couldn't be soft-hearted about some things, and she also knew that she couldn't just look at the surface, but facts are facts, and they shouldn't be affected by external factors. factors change.
"There are indeed people with this ability in the organization, but... I don't feel any fluctuations of disobedience, I am indeed this person." Yamazaki turned to face Ruoer Chengcen, his mood never wavering, "Little Tuanzi, yes It's time to act." The order of the organization, no one can but respect.
"Well, I see." Ruoer Chengcen collected her mood, looked down at Yi Xue who had been standing obediently beside her, her mood was complicated and unbearable, and many thoughts that she didn't understand came up, she knew she shouldn't be like this What she did, however, was that she couldn't go against the organization or the vow she had made to that person.
"Master..." Yi Xue seemed to be aware of her emotional fluctuations, raised his head and raised his big smiling face, revealing two small canine teeth, but the next second he lowered his voice, and there was no trace of impurity on his face. Innocence was replaced by coldness, "I've been waiting for a long time..." The immature voice was not as soft as before, and it was mixed with a frightening hostility. All this told her that he had reached the limit of his patience, and he was anxious Needs blood to cool his mind.
Ruo'er Chengcen looked down at the little hand that was tightly clenched in the palm, and Yi Xue was struggling uncomfortably, so she could only let go and let him walk towards the dark corner.
"Don't worry, it won't hurt for too long. I will use the method closest to God to preserve those eyeballs. That... will be the most beautiful work of art." The moment Yi Xue squatted down, Suzuki used his ability Call out black vines from all directions to tie up the man and fall into the air. The man's choking can only whine under the siege of the vines. Maybe the death came too violently and suddenly, and he was still immersed in himself. He in the world suddenly woke up, his pupils widened and he stared in disbelief at the little boy who held up his sharp fingertips in front of him.
The staccato words in the man's throat were covered by vines. Facing the approaching small figure, the weak begging immediately became insignificant. He opened his pupils to the limit in horror, and held the photo frame tightly in his hands without any intention of letting go. , In an instant, the god of death ushered in gradually.
Sanada's father clenched his fists and turned to leave. Sanada Genichiro didn't say anything, but the disgust in his pupils, I'm afraid Ruoer Chengcen will never forget him in his life. He is a man full of sense of justice. How could such a dirty man accept such a dirty fact? !
Ruoer Chengcen took everyone's expressions into his eyes, with a smile still rippling on the corners of his lips, and looked down at the beautiful woman beside him who was silently crying, and naturally took out a handkerchief to gently wipe her tear-stained face, turned around, leave.
The "thank you" that remained in the air may mean a lot to her, but after all, she has no reason to look back, her footsteps seem to be heavy but she has not stopped, she knows that she should not stay here, should not stop Too much contact with this group of people.
