Late autumn

Rows of test tubes, stacks of inferences and experimental records.In the quiet laboratory, the second hand of the clock on the wall "tick-tick-tick----" sounded particularly abruptly, as if announcing that the time left for me was running out.

Of course I don't have the time to bother with this, I'm just concentrating on the experiment now.It occurred to me that the experimental drug might not cause the cells to die immediately, but to hypnotize the cells and then undergo abnormal apoptosis.Theoretically speaking, that kind of medicine is not fatal, it just shocks the living body in pain, and finally the body dies due to the inability to maintain normal physiological activities.Of course, this is just a theoretical deduction that came to my mind. Whether it is an objective fact or not, I still need to experiment.

When the last set of experiments showed the phenomenon I expected, I let out a long sigh of relief, but because I was too involved, I didn't realize that he was already standing by my side.

"finished?"

"Ah."

"What was the result?"

"as you wish."

After hearing my answer like this, he put a hand on my shoulder, and I sat on the chair and leaned against his arms.

"time is limited."

"How long?"

"The order of the organization, tomorrow morning."

"Yes. Enough."

Simple dialogue, contains a lot of emotion.Delighted, tired, indifferent, helpless.

Looking at the pointer on the wall, it is already three o'clock in the morning.There are still more than three hours.

I must sort out all my theoretical basis, inferences and experimental process into a report within these three hours.I turn on my computer and get to work.He just stayed aside quietly, accompanying me.Although, I don't know if this report will be seen by Boss before tomorrow morning.

If that's the case, it's a gamble on luck.I printed out the report and looked up, it was already five o'clock.He took the report and left without looking back.I heard the sound of the Porsche revving, and then faded away.

I waited quietly in the laboratory, feeling a little more indifferent in my heart.I just turned on the phone habitually, and my fingertips landed on the familiar name. After a moment of hesitation, I still dialed the number.

My sister has to go to work every day, so I should get up at this time.

"Hello?" There was a familiar and friendly greeting from the other end of the phone.

"Zhibao, why is it so early. Why isn't our little slob not sleeping today?" My sister teased me with a smile.

"Miss you." I replied with a smile.Try to make your voice sound relaxed and pleasant.

"Stop coming!" My sister responded with a smile.

"Really, sister, I really miss you." I was very serious.Just want to hear your voice.Maybe, never hear it again.

"How is it going?"

"It's okay, how about you? How are you getting along with Zhu Xing?" I joked with a smile.

"Ah, I'm jealous. After making a phone call, I still care about him." There was a burst of laughter from the other end of the phone.

"When can we see each other again, Zhibao? You haven't come back to the apartment for more than half a month." The elder sister's voice seemed to be full of anticipation and a hint of helplessness.

"I'm afraid it won't work recently. I'm going on a business trip soon."

"Where are you going?" she asked eagerly.

"Abroad. It may take a long time."

"Why didn't you tell me?" My sister blamed.

"Didn't I tell you? Oh right, I forgot." I smiled.

Of course I haven't told you, because I have no plans to go abroad at all.Just a simple, childish lie.I just hope you don't find out about my death so soon.Just think that I am going abroad, maybe this lie will be exposed soon, but let me let you worry about it for a while, I don't want to see you washing your face with tears all day long.

We chatted for a while, and my sister's voice on the other end of the microphone was bright and cheerful, telling stories about her and Zhu Xing non-stop.I heard familiar footsteps outside the door, and then Gin walked in.Seeing that I was on the phone, he hesitated for a moment, but still motioned for me to go with him.I understood, "That, sister. I'm going to the airport, time is running out, so hang up first. Let's talk another day."

There was some reluctance in my sister's voice, "Alright then. Be careful when you go out."

"Well, I see. And you, you should be happy every day with him."

Be happy, sister, and live strong.You can live just fine without me.At least you have him, and he will be by your side.So, be happy...

I got in that Porsche and he started it.But he was reluctant to move forward.

"Has the report been handed in?" I asked lightly.

"Well. I just don't know..."

Before he could finish speaking, I interrupted: "It's still some time before sunrise, would you like to accompany me to the beach?"

He hesitated for a moment, but complied.Start the car and drive towards Tokyo Bay.

It was just dawn, and the wind in the morning, with a lot of moisture, was comfortable and cool.Everything is scrambling to welcome the first ray of sunshine in the morning, looking forward to the moment when the sun breaks through the horizon and illuminates the whole world.

But at this moment, I hope that the sun will rise more slowly, and more slowly.I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of losing, losing my sister, losing this person beside me at this moment.I just want to spend some more time with him.

"What are you thinking? Are you scared?" Seeing that I was silent, he asked me against the sea breeze.

I shook my head, "No, it's just..."

It's just reluctance.

"It's a naive lie to actually tell Miyano Akemi that you're going abroad. Don't even think about it. She'll know the truth just by asking anyone."

"Yes. Otherwise, what would you say in order to let her accept the news more calmly?"

"If you do this, it will only increase her guilt and remorse. If it were me, I would tell her directly."

I laughed, "Not everyone is as strong as you. But, Gin, can you help me get rid of the lie? After a while, tell her that I have settled abroad, and then block the news, it's for you It's not hard to say."

"I have no such obligation."

In the distance above the sea level, it was red and coquettish, and the golden-red sunlight reflected the entire sea surface into pale gold. The sun was slowly rising, and he kept holding his mobile phone tightly in his hand, as if he was waiting for something.

I looked at him like this, feeling helpless.A god of death, perhaps for the first time in his life, looking forward to saving a life that is about to die.

In fact, you and I both know that the power of organization is simply irresistible.An order is an order after all, even if it requires you to end your own life, you must pull the trigger without hesitation.This is organization, or in other words, this is loyalty.

Sister, I didn't lie to you, I am indeed going to board the plane.It's just that this flight only has a one-way ticket, and it takes me to another world.I never thought that a heinous demon like me would go to heaven after death, where only angels can go.Perhaps from the moment I was born, I was branded with a dark mark, the boundary between black and white, life after life, insurmountable...
