In the single ward, Ryu Gil Soon-il gradually woke up.
The room was quiet, there was no sound at all, and it was very dark. He stayed for a few seconds and realized that this was definitely not the main residence of Keigumi.
All the memories before coma flooded into his brain. Thinking of the slight tingling pain in his neck, he sat up suddenly.
"...Shunyi, please stay calm. You have just undergone surgery, so don't do any major movements."
With a helpless sigh, the room suddenly lit up.
The sudden light stung his eyes, which were accustomed to darkness. Liu Jishun subconsciously closed his eyes and heard the culprit's voice ringing around him.
He opened his eyes again, turned his head and looked to the side, and saw Izarun holding the mobile phone in one hand and retracting the light switch with the other hand.
This old friend from the police academy who had knocked him unconscious seemed to be in good condition, but as a friend, Liu Jijunyi could still see through his calm fatigue at a glance.
"...Is this the hospital in Hachioji City?" Junichi Ryuukichi asked.
"No, this is Mihua Yakushino Hospital."
Izarun said and yawned.
He was running around non-stop that night. First, he rushed to Hachioji City, from Hachioji City to the Tottori Prefecture base, and then walked at least five kilometers from the base, and then to Yoneka Town... He had to return to his residence before dawn
, lest the police under surveillance discover that he left midway.
Although there was help from an inhuman colleague along the way, the mental fatigue exceeded the physical fatigue.
Yi Zejun put away his phone and his eyes fell on Liu Jishun's eyes and the bandages on his body.
Not only was his eye stabbed, but he also had whip wounds from torture, which made him look like Angstra II.
"...Your undercover mission is over." Yi Zejun sighed, with a very complicated mood: "Most of the people in the Jing group have completely disappeared from the world."
Liu Jishun was stunned for a moment, and Yi Zerun lit up the phone screen again and showed him the news he had browsed before.
——An abandoned factory exploded in Hachioji City! Nearby residential buildings were affected, and the casualties are currently unknown...
Angstra could not leave a mess on the ground and tell others that this was a bloody massacre. He would use other methods to hide more casualties under "accidents".
After all, he is a member of the organization. He may be simple or naive, but he will never be as truly kind and pure as those people under the sun.
Yi Zarun didn't mind showing this to Liu Jishun. Because he couldn't hide it, he would see it sooner or later when he recovered a little and went online. Why not just tell him directly now.
This breaking news was only a few hundred words long and could be read in the blink of an eye. Liu Jishun's face turned pale and he struggled to sit up.
Yi Zerun half-lifted him up and let him lean on the bed.
"Bai... where is the boy we met before?" Liu Jishun changed his words midway through his name.
Yi Zejun's mood was a little complicated. He knew that Liu Jishunyi had clearly realized that Little Crow was not the child he had made an agreement with back then, but he still missed him in his heart.
"He's fine, he'll be fine soon..."
Dong Dong.
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
Yi Zerun, who had his back to the door, looked back and saw a woman with black hair and red eyes standing at the door. She was wearing a hospital gown and her belly was bulging.
Izarun recognized her as the woman they met on the cruise ship.
"Buzzing..."
At the same time, his cell phone vibrated.
【I'm at the hospital.——Angostura】
…
Jing Baiye came to Mihua Yakushiye Hospital.
He is very familiar with this place. In the past, he and Zhu Fu Jingguang took care of the injured Jianggu Ling here, and now, he wants to say goodbye to them here.
But he was not sad at all. On the contrary, he was very happy because he believed that it was the best decision for everyone.
Jing Baiye passed by a ward. The system map showed that Liu Jishunyi and Jerez were both in it, but to his surprise, there was a blue dot at the door.
"Mr. Grey."
A man was at the door of the ward. He heard the footsteps and looked there, and recognized Jing Baiye's identity at a glance.
"Is it you?"
Jing Baiye also recognized the other person at this time. He was an employee of the Karasuma Group headquarters and was currently on paternity leave.
On the first day he became the heir, the first thing he did was to modify employee benefits and extend various holidays for them.
Especially for sick leave, maternity leave for female employees and paternity leave for male employees, the salary remains the same during the leave. At the same time, colleagues in the same department who have to share their work are also given a certain bonus subsidy - most people get the money, but the amount of work is
An increase can reduce a lot of resentment.
The employee in front of me is the first to enjoy it. His wife is about to give birth.
"Your wife is in this hospital?"
The employee nodded and smiled sincerely at Jing Baiye. It was not the kind of flattering smile a subordinate would have for his immediate boss, but a heartfelt thank you.
"She participated in the first voyage of the Nidhogg not long ago and was shipwrecked." The employee said and sighed, "I originally wanted to accompany her, but leave was not allowed at that time, and she said
She wants to talk to her family alone..."
"The more I think about it now, the more scared I am. If I had known I would have resigned, I should have gone with her then..."
He was also holding a child. Maybe he heard their conversation, and the child began to poke his head around, trying to see who his father was talking to.
——When he saw the child's eyes and face clearly, Jing Baiye, who originally wanted to say goodbye to him early, froze on the spot.
"Brother Devil!"
It was a boy who looked to be about seven years old, with short black hair, crimson eyes, and white, tender cheeks that were round and soft.
When his father heard his son talking about his future boss, his expression suddenly changed and he quickly taught his son: "You can't talk about others like that. It's too rude."
She had a very stern tone, but she was still very careful when holding the child and did not pinch him.
"Why are you calling me that?"
Jing Baiye said he didn't mind and looked at the boy again. His heart was beating loudly as he realized something.
"Because there are so many monsters and monsters on your clothes."
The boy pointed at the devilish kimono he was wearing, and the smile on his face was as pure as an angel's.
He moved his hands and easily broke away from his father's hand. He ran to Jing Baiye and looked up at him.
"Brother Devil, can you squat down?"
——This scene overlaps with a day eight years ago in Jing Baiye’s memory.
Jing Baiye squatted down again and felt someone hugging him.
The small arms hugged his neck, and there were no scars on the skin exposed from the cuffs. The child's soft cheek pressed against his face and rubbed it gently.
"My parents told me that when others are sad, they should hug each other. This will make them feel warm." The boy's voice rang in his ears, "My parents often hug me like this. When my sister comes out, I will do the same."
Hug my sister."
"...you have a sister?"
"Well, the one in mom's belly is my sister." The boy's voice became even happier, "As a brother, I will protect my sister in the future!"
"Really? That's great..."
Jing Baiye smiled.
The boy let go of his hand, stood up again, and glanced around the ward. Jerez touched his eyes and nodded. Liu Jishunyi was communicating with a black-haired woman on the hospital bed and did not see him.
Jing Baiye thought for a while, reached into his sleeves, and using the fabric to cover it, took out two pairs of handcuffs that were placed in the system backpack.
One pair is hard and made of an unknown material, with a faint purple light; the other one is a very ordinary toy handcuff, which looks like it has been used for several years.
"I have something to trouble you with." He put the two pairs of handcuffs on the boy's hands. "Can you give this thing to the man lying on the bed inside? Give the old one back to him.
This new one should be regarded as my gift to him and you."
The boy was a little confused. Why could one thing be given to two people at the same time? Is it because the brother saved his mother? Will they have the opportunity to play together often in the future?
He stretched out his hands and took it obediently: "Okay."
He asked again: "Brother Devil, do you want me to bring you something?"
