"I reject!"

Looking at the documents handed back in front of him, he was not too surprised, as if he had expected this result a long time ago.But he asked again responsibly: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure." Aaliyah took a deep breath and replied.

"I have considered this issue before." She turned her head and looked at the shade of the tree at the corner, as if recalling, "I have encountered... many, many unusual things, and I can always lie to myself at the beginning It’s bad luck, but it’s impossible to be so unlucky all the time, right?”

"Since when did you become aware of this?" asked.

"I don't know." Alia shook her head, her expression was a little dazed, "After being adopted, for a long time, my mental state was not very good, and I couldn't remember many things clearly. But it seems that I started to play games Afterwards, life became much calmer, and I put most of my energy there. Then, probably after I officially left the game, I started to encounter all kinds of strange things.”

There was a silence.According to what she said, it was very likely that she was targeted because she left the game without authorization, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.However, he didn't intend to tell Aliya about this guess right now—at this stage, her sensitive little brain might not be able to withstand other stimuli.

"Someone is always trying to kill me, or I'm always on the victim's shortlist for various reasons."

Lu Yu was targeted by a pervert, accidentally got caught in a gunfight, picked up suspicious items and was targeted by gangsters... This is basically her daily life after the age of 17. If she hadn't met Reese and Finch later, she would most likely have died Died young.

But, the problem is——after she left New York, she also encountered several dangerous situations, and she survived in the end without their help.Although it is more likely to be a fluke, is it really just her luck?

Arya didn't think the same, and wouldn't pin all her hopes on luck—although, in a way, he was a gambler, too.

She simply took this opportunity to speak out about the experience of this case, and some of the key points she thought she had, including the specious questions about McCann Reeve in the "Death Questions and Answers", were explained in detail.

After finishing, she looked back, suddenly a little dazed: ", do you really think that if I sign this document, I can live the peaceful life I dream of?"

Such dangers again and again were like a lifeline, which made her breathless.Maybe she didn't notice it herself—after reviewing all the experiences, her originally firm heart was a little shaken.

"Why don't you give yourself a chance?" Following her words, she asked.

After signing the document, the U.S. government will try its best to ensure her safety. Even if she may be found again in the end, at least she has lived a peaceful life, which is better than being in constant fear.

Aliya was silent, and the two little figures on her shoulders were fighting.

The previous refusal was only because the reverse psychology prevailed.But to be honest, she was really moved by such an attractive prospect.Sarah's death had hit her too hard, and she hadn't really come to terms with it yet.If there is a safe environment for her to calm down, maybe she can figure it out faster...

"You can think about it, you don't need to give me an answer immediately." Put the file back into the bag.Then, he stood up and inspected the hanging bottle.

"It's almost over, let's change the needle." He pushed the wheelchair back.

"Thank you." Aliya couldn't refuse his service. As a sick patient, the most important thing to do is to recover as soon as possible.

Send her to a nurse and leave first.He's busy, always busy.Arya couldn't figure out why he had come in person, but hoped he had the answers she wanted.

She was too tired to lie to anyone.And this kind of tiredness tends to be more mentally tired, so after returning to her ward, she put the family members' information about her body in the cabinet first-she didn't plan to read it for the time being, and didn't want to sleep, just in the Sitting there in a daze, trying to let myself go.

At the door of the ward, there were two police officers on duty there.They had deep sympathy for the girl who seemed to be frightened into a fool, and occasionally came in to check on her situation, and even quietly searched away the sharp objects in the ward once.

Aliya pretended not to find anything, fulfilling their kindness.Later, she asked them to borrow paper and pens, trying to find something to do for herself.However, after writing a few strokes, she started to feel dizzy, and she went back to bed to sleep after holding on for a long time.

And when Reid came in, what he saw was such a scene - the pale girl was still frowning even though she was asleep.Her body was lying on her side, curled up like a cooked shrimp, and the tip of her nose was still a little red.

He stood on the spot and looked at it for a long time, pursing his lips, so long that he was puzzled even after he finally realized it.This is a feeling that surpasses all his previous cognitions, and perhaps even if he empties his clever head, he can't find a reasonable explanation for his performance at this moment.

What's even more strange is that he gave up his insistence on continuing to pursue the answer, and chose to accept his own contradictions happily.The package that has been held in his hand and made him fall into an extremely tangled situation, after he decided to come again, after he saw her again, it seemed that it was not so hot and important.

Reid put down the things in his hands, trying to straighten the girl who was sleeping crookedly onto the pillow, and at the same time covered her with a quilt.But when he approached lightly, he saw the paper under her arm—maybe because the writer was not in a good mood, the handwriting was heavy at the front and light at the back, and it was very scribbled, and the letters behind were even curled up into It was a mess, but he could still see clearly——

"Vaporization secret order", she was writing these words repeatedly.

Thanks to his rich knowledge base, the meaning behind these few words quickly flashed through his mind, and a wave called "panic" followed, flooding a large valley. Reid's hands began to tremble, and he took out the piece of paper from Aliya's hands by a strange coincidence—he read it right, it was true...

He looked at the person who was still restless in his sleep in disbelief, like looking at a stranger, with scrutiny and anxiety that he didn't realize.

His head seemed to be hit hard by someone, and the pain hit him one after another, making him want to follow his heart and leave now, as if nothing happened, as if he had never been in this ward again , as if I hadn’t read this piece of paper, but just couldn’t do it...

Reid staggered back a few steps and accidentally bumped into the cabinet.The case board hanging above fell to the ground before he could react.

With a "snap", Aliya shook her whole body and opened her eyes.

"r?" Before she could react, her right hand without the needle subconsciously lay across her chest to protect herself.

Similarly, the person who felt he was in a dilemma didn't react, he just opened his mouth and stared at her blankly.

"How long has it been?" After recognizing him, she immediately let go of her guard, and she put down her hands, feeling a little dazed.

"What?" He was still standing, not approaching.

"I mean how long have I been asleep? Why do I feel like I haven't slept much, but I saw you again..." Aliya stopped, feeling a little confused about her logic, and didn't know how to express it.

"More than an hour." When he came in, he asked the two police officers at the door, "Sorry, I shouldn't have woken you up."

"It's nothing, I thought it was the second day. Because I saw you again, I mean, didn't you go back to rest? So I thought you came, at least it was the second day..." Her My mind is completely messed up, and I really want to say something more, but what I say is incoherent.

"I have something to think about..." After she reminded him, Reid remembered the purpose of his visit. His eyes drifted to the package he brought, but he hesitated again—if she really wants to join the witness protection plan, "Ai Leah Williams" this person will disappear from this world in the near future, so, is it still necessary for him to tell her what he thought before or made a temporary decision?

Yes, according to the current situation, she will agree sooner or later.After that, they were clearly in the same world, but never saw each other again.Only by never hearing from her can it prove that she is doing well...

Aliya waited, wanting to hear him finish, but for a long time, she couldn't hear the second half of the sentence.She looked up and found that he had been looking at her, but when she looked over, he immediately looked away.

But those few seconds of eye contact were enough for her to see clearly the bloodshot eyes and the crystals in his sockets...

"R?" She wanted to reach out to grab him, but Reid took a step back faster than she could.

"Sorry, you have a good rest." He picked up the package again and wanted to walk to the door.

At this time, Aliya suddenly had a feeling that if she let him go now, they might never cross that wall again. From then on, in and out of the city, bridges return to bridges, and roads return to roads.

Therefore, she subconsciously wanted to chase it out, but she forgot that there was still a hanging needle on her left hand.All of a sudden... She used all her strength to pull down the hanger and fell to the ground.

Reid, who turned around when he heard the noise, was about to panic.He immediately rushed back to support her, and a greater panic than before hit his heart - he thought that the loss was not terrible, and time would be a good healer, but he didn't expect that the time after the loss itself was terrible , He didn't even dare to think about it.

"Don't go." She pulled him and said, ignoring her bloody hand from the broken needle.

The two police officers guarding outside rushed in immediately after hearing the noise.

"Call the nurse!" He yelled without looking back, and immediately helped her clean out the broken needle and pressed the wound.

"Don't go." She didn't think about all the actions just now, she just started to get scared now, she unknowingly took his hand and used all her strength.

"I'll stay here." When the person who dealt with it came, he let go of the hand that was pressing the wound, and carried her back to the bed. His clever brain froze. He didn't know what he had done, nor did he What to do next, the only thing I know is - he shouldn't go, and he doesn't want to go.

Aliya pulled him, not daring to let go.The position of her hand was changed, and the needle was pricked. She gritted her teeth and still pulled stubbornly, even though she didn't know what she was holding on to.

Reid's back was very straight. He sat on the edge of the bed with his back to her, just holding hands, but they both lowered their heads and didn't look at each other.

The doctors and nurses surrounded a few of them, and they all looked at them with reprimands, obviously thinking that the two little brats were messing around.When they gave a few symbolic lessons and wanted to ask Reid away so that he would not disturb the patient's rest, Aliya maintained her movements like a stone sculpture and ignored them.

Finally, the well-meaning angel in white reluctantly exited the stage. The two people inside heard the sound of closing the door but still saw each other, thought of each other, and maintained a strange tacit understanding.

However, there are still some changes. For example, no matter how cold the body temperature is, the palms of the clasped hands still start to sweat.No matter how disguised the breathing of the two of them is, it is impossible to be smooth, and they will still care about what should be cared about.

"Will you agree?" he asked suddenly.

"What?" Her reaction was half a beat slow, and she was also wondering why her reaction was so intense.

Reid hesitated for a moment, he looked at his toes, not sure if he should say it or not - this was her decision, if it was reasonable, he shouldn't ask.Once this layer of paper is pulled away, he doesn't know what will happen, but he has some expectations in his heart, but more fear - no matter how good he is in the eyes of outsiders, he has always lacked self-confidence.

But there is one thing that he really wants to know...

"Will you agree to the Witness Protection Plan?" He heard himself really ask, and subconsciously wanted to clenched his fists, but just as his fingers began to tighten, he suddenly found himself holding her with the other hand.He paused, trying to relax, but he clenched his hands even tighter.

— he knows?

Aliya looked up at his back, her eyes began to dim gradually, sadness always came so quickly, tears always blurred her vision so inappropriately, making her unable to speak properly.

——That's right, he is the FBI, and he is still in charge of this case, how could he not know?

"Would you expect me to say yes?" she wanted to ask.But, she also knows—R will persuade her to agree, right?In the situation where it is unclear who is trying to target her, wouldn't it be better not to be able to hide in order to ensure the safety of her life?Like, think this is the best choice for her.

"I don't!" Thinking of this, she suddenly became angry.

She doesn't want what other people think is the best choice, and she doesn't want to live for a better life.After struggling for so long, she figured it out—she should no longer live in the expectations of others, she must live for herself!

"I don't want to live again in this world with another name and another identity. I don't want this false tranquility that may be shattered at any time..."

Yes, she has always been so headstrong.After the death of her adoptive parents, she tried to hide her true self and tried to live in the eyes of everyone as a gentle and kind top student, but the willfulness in her bones still prompted her to do some adventurous things, such as the plane bombing. That time, she ran back.

But a few years have passed, and after experiencing so much, she no longer wants to suppress herself.Since every day of life may be so difficult, let's live it steadily, enjoy the few funs, and don't run away...

"I don't want to see you again..." Aliya hugged him from behind, and because she was crying too hard, she used ten times the strength to utter a word, "I don't want to see you again Not to you."

——Everything you can have now is more precious because it is difficult.Even if death is near tomorrow, may life be as gorgeous as summer flowers.

Finally, with the last of her strength and all her courage, she said to him:

"R, I like you."
