This answer was actually within the expectations of the two people who had just arrived.
Bourbon and Rai disliked each other, and sometimes they would quarrel when Bai Ye was present. Moreover, Bourbon would initiate the provocation first, and Rai would choose one of three options: ignore them, talk back, or get physical.
"you……"
Jing Baiye was troubled by the bad relationship between his subordinates.
He once again understood why members of the action team codename could have three subordinates, but most people would not find any - sometimes dealing with the relationship with subordinates is really more troublesome than handling tasks.
Bourbon, the one who flirted first, had a face full of harmlessness and innocence, while Rai, the one who struck first, was cold and confident... Jing Baiye felt his temples twitching.
Fortunately, someone broke the silence in time, and Gin's face appeared on the screen on the empty door frame.
He is the supervisor and will not personally intervene in this drug interrogation. As long as Bourbon returns the recording equipment to him afterwards. He suddenly appeared because he received a message on his mobile phone that [a certain base, a certain floor code lock and the door were damaged]
mail.
This is a link in the organization's base defense system. When the base is seriously damaged by man-made damage, cadres with A-level authority or above in the area will receive such an emergency notice - Jing Baiye also felt this when he stepped on the gate and ran in.
My phone vibrated.
Seeing that it was Jing Baiye who did it, the murderous intention on Ginjiu's face that said "could it be a rat?" turned into a "what are you doing again?" impatience when encountering naughty children making trouble.
"What the hell are you doing, Angstra?"
"...It's just a little unexpected." Jing Baiye sighed, feeling like he was about to be possessed by Jerez brandy.
Gin glanced at Bourbon and Rai behind him with burning eyes.
From the surveillance angle in this room, he could clearly see their expressions and bodies. When he saw injuries on both of them, his eyes flickered: "Is there something wrong with Rai's interrogation? What did he say?"
Hearing this question, Jing Baiye turned back to look at Bourbon. He didn't know what the outcome of the interrogation would be.
"...He didn't say anything."
Bourbon faced the gazes of the three people present and one person on the screen, with a slightly subtle expression on his face. He walked near the chair, picked up a recording device from beside the broken restraints, pressed the pause button, and then spoke to add.
"From the time I injected him with drugs and started recording, to when he suddenly woke up and attacked me - he didn't say a word during the whole process."
Jing Baiye was stunned, and subconsciously turned to look at Lai.
With the precedent of Bourbon being tortured to the point of mental breakdown by this medicine, he was very worried about what would happen to Rai... He really couldn't imagine Rai shivering in his arms.
As if aware of his gaze, Rai, the central figure in the topic, looked back at him, his eyes as calm as ever.
"..."
Among the three subordinates, Jing Baiye has the least contact with Rai - they don't usually live together, and they never go out on missions together, so he is only in the acquaintance group so far, and has not been promoted to the friends and relatives group of Scotland and Bourbon.
Jing Baiye could sense Scotland's worry and could recognize Bourbon's personality at a glance, but he couldn't see Rai's emotions.
...Lei, what did you see in your hallucination?
————
The sky is a gloomy leaden gray.
There was no one around. Akai Shuichi walked alone on the snow. The soles of his wolf's feet stepped on the soft snow, leaving a bloody footprint with every step he took.
He was covered in blood, and he experienced several fierce battles along the way.
The woods in winter are still dangerous, and there are many other animals that are not hibernating in them. He just met three wolves separately.
In reality, he knows Jeet Kune Do, has good marksmanship and sniping skills, and can use tactics appropriately.
However, now that he has turned into a wolf, he can only fight like a real beast - tearing with his claws and biting with his teeth, which is savage, crazy and extremely vicious.
After a fierce fight, they fell down in the snow. They looked very similar when they fell to the ground, except that they both had a bloody hole in their right eye.
A large amount of warm blood spurted out, dyeing Shuichi Akai red from head to toe.
The tangy smell of blood was suffocating. He didn't know how long it would take for the hallucination to end. He wanted to continue looking for his tribe.
He tried rolling in the snow and throwing snow on himself to clean himself. All of this was of no avail, and the blood stains always stuck to his body.
The evidence of his murder of his own kind cannot be erased.
After some fluttering, Akai Shuichi gave up struggling, got up again and walked forward.
For a moment, he wanted to go back to Angstra, return to that warm fairy tale-like cabin, and escape the harsh environment like the cat.
This thought was fleeting, and he quickly gave up - he didn't want to abandon his tribe.
There was no other sound around, only the snow falling silently, getting heavier and heavier.
Finally, he saw a pack of wolves in the distance, and the interweaving colors of cinnamon red and tawny allowed him to judge that they were also American red wolves.
Akai Shuichi felt relieved and wanted to go there, but a strong wind carried a strong smell of blood and blew across his path.
It's a short distance, but it's a world away.
He had never seen such heavy snow. The snow that fell on his face with the wind made it almost impossible for him to open his eyes. The snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker. Every step he took was extremely difficult, and most of his body was buried in the snow.
In the snow, I can't move.
The breath he exhaled was not the coldness and freshness of snow, but the rich and pungent smell of blood.
The lone wolf's figure was completely swallowed up in the snow and blood.
…
"Lai..."
"...Ley? Are you asleep?"
Akai Shuichi opened his eyes suddenly, and the person in front of him was startled.
Scotch stared at him: "Ley, your apartment is here."
Because there was a drug interrogation, Akai Shuichi took Scotland's car to the training ground today. After Gin said that the interrogation was over, it was Scotland that took him back to the apartment.
Akai Shuichi looked out the window, this was indeed his apartment.
...The interrogation is obviously over, why did he dream about what he just hallucinated?
The suffocation and pain of being buried alive in the heavy snow and unable to move came back again. It was obviously an illusion, but it was more realistic than reality, as if he had experienced those sufferings personally again.
Akai Shuichi unbuckled his seat belt and wanted to thank Scotland for sending him a ride, but when he met those eyes, he couldn't say anything.
Scotch whiskey, which is usually a hundred times milder than bourbon, is looking at him with the same cold and hostile eyes as bourbon.
So he swallowed all his words and opened the door and got out of the car.
Scotland didn't say anything. After closing the car door, he turned around and left quickly.
Akai Shuichi watched the car leave, feeling indescribable fatigue, which made him press his forehead hard.
It didn't snow today, and the dark night sky was twinkling with stars. He thought of the police academy graduate who died in the morning.
He is very rational and will not be easily shaken, but he will feel pain and guilt for killing innocent people - even if he has no choice but to do so.
That young man is innocent, he is not a criminal, he has a pure and clean soul, and he looks forward to and admires his father just like him - he should have a bright future.
But he died.
——Because he was the son of an undercover agent, he was targeted by the organization and even became a test for him.
Influenced by a family where both parents are agents, Shuichi Akai's acceptance of murder is higher than that of ordinary people.
But he was also influenced by his parents, and under the constraints of education, he would not like killing, let alone torture and kill.
...that's how it should be.
From killing the bourbon dog in the dream to attacking the bourbon's eyes in reality, to saying the words "break you even more completely", a kind of twisted happiness flashed through Akai Shuichi's heart.
Those were not angry words or deliberate threats, they were his true words. At that time, at least at that moment... he really wanted to do that.
"Buzzing..."
Akai Shuichi came back to his senses when his phone vibrated as he received an email.
It was sent to him by Angstra who had already arrived home. He asked him if he had arrived. If he felt unwell, he would send him an email immediately. He would rush over and wait... Akai Shuichi calmed down and replied to him. Compared with Scotland and
Bourbon, Angstra's attitude towards him was the same as before.
He was about to close his mailbox when his eyes suddenly glanced at the email Gin had sent him before.
