Citrus-flavored smoke floated in the room, and the moonlight shone on the face of the killer who was narrating his past experiences. He gritted his teeth viciously, and the hatred in his usually charming eyes almost overflowed.

The doctor listened silently, but the communicator next to the bedside table turned on. He glanced at it, and was attracted by the message from Deng Huailing on the screen, and clicked on the message to check.

"Killing the people who bullied me in the past is easy for me now, but Rosie told me that not everyone in that group is extremely evil, at least not everyone is willing to become so evil." The killer is stillImmersed in the narration, I didn't notice the doctor's actions, "People are scrambling for resources fiercely because someone behind the fence occupies too many resources. Our real enemy is not in the slums, but behind the fence."

"They are a class that exists in every city in every era. Even if they are reshuffled in the historical changes, they will grow up again and again and corrupt the city. I am willing to kill them all for revenge at all costs, but kill them allAfter them, Cecina needs wise leaders to lead the way, so as not to go down that corrupt path too quickly.

"The leader must not only have courage and skill, but also absolute justice. Over the years, I have become one of the unscrupulous villains, no different from those who bullied me before. I know that I am not qualified for thatThe position...can't be filled by anyone but one."

The doctor put the communicator back and looked at the killer indifferently: "I thought you hated Rosie very much. You have been in conflict for so many years, it is a miracle that you didn't kill each other."

"Yeah," the killer turned his eyes to look at the night view of East 5 outside the window, "Sometimes I really hate him very much, and I often wonder how such an indecisive person survived in Cesina. But sometimes II also feel that it is a good thing that Rosie is here. After killing the old world, the task of establishing a new order can only be completed by someone like him, and only when he leads Cesina to move forward can I feel at ease."

"So you don't want Rosie to die, but instead of him?" the doctor asked abruptly, his tone cold.

The killer raised his eyebrows in surprise, and smiled shortly: "——you know. It was Deng Huailing who reported the letter to you, right? He doesn't have enough reasons and positions to dissuade me, and he can't use this matter to alert Rosie, so it's up to you to talk me out of 'The End of the Song Project', right? That kid looks ruthless and shrewd, but his soft-heartedness is in the same vein as Rosie's."

"Ettore." The doctor stood up abruptly, feeling a surge of anger rushing through every vessel in his body.This is an extremely strange feeling, he has never experienced such a vivid emotion, and his blood is like a violent tide crashing everywhere.

He didn't know why he had such a violent reaction. Although his face was still expressionless, his heart was beating wildly with anger.He obviously never had a pathetic possessive desire for the killer. They had agreed not to interfere with each other's lives, and if they got tired of it, they would break up and go their separate ways.

"Oh, why did you react like this. Unfortunately, I thought you would be very sad and disappointed, and I came here to say goodbye to you, just to see what it looks like when you cry." The killer jokingly said, from the window sillJumping up and down, he found the military uniform among the clothes scattered all over the floor, and changed out of the bathrobe, "But it's also very good, did we make an appointment, and never interfere with each other's decisions, you kept your promise."

He buttoned up his military uniform, and turned back into the resolute adjudicator of Dongwu.The doctor still stood silently in the shadow of the moonlight, not looking at him with downcast eyes, the killer's movements couldn't help dawdling, he spent a long time tying up his hair, and wanted to hear a few words from the doctor before leaving, but the other side kept onSay nothing.

"I'm really leaving. Next time...you won't see me again." The smile on the killer's face couldn't hold back, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "I've already chosen in East 5Cemetery, if you are free, come and visit me every year, if there is any new progress in the subject we have studied together, you know, the subject of bionic self-awareness, remember to put the experiment report in front of my tomb."

His fingertips were already on the doorknob, and he continued to speak nonsense unwillingly, delaying time, "There is also the token of love you gave me ten years ago, the jar of brain specimens, to be honest, I have never seen it before."Such a silly gift, I said I like it very much, just to sleep with you. I will send someone to send the jar back, you can keep it for yourself, but if you don’t want to die, don’t give it to others.”

"Well, I won't." The doctor responded in a low voice, and there was no unnecessary reaction.

"You...you, fuck, Coyne! Are you a cold-blooded animal and have no feelings at all!" The killer finally couldn't help but burst out, turned back with a stride, pressed the opponent's shoulder and pushed him against the wall, his pupils were full of rage, "No matter what, I have been with you for ten years, and you just let me go? Deng Huailing asked you to persuade me, but you are persuading me, I listen!"

The doctor looked into his eyes, and there was deep emotion in the eyes behind the lenses: "If I persuade you to stay, will you stay?"

The killer froze for a moment, and the endless words got stuck in his throat for an instant.He never considered this question, would he change his mind because of the doctor's words?He has already tempered his heart to be ruthless. Ettore Schiffer, code-named "Killer", the killer who has made Cesina's military feared for ten years, is a person who cannot be changed by others' words.

"Then you... have to try anyway, how will you know if you don't try?" The killer lowered his eyes and said weakly.

"You already have the answer, why try again?" The doctor's gaze was like a scalpel, dissecting his secret heart layer by layer.

The killer loosened his fingers slowly, perhaps the relationship between them was not as strong as he imagined.He always thought that the doctor's willingness to follow him to the second district should be inseparable from him, but at the last moment, the doctor still refused to give him even a word of convincing.

But that's fair, after all, he didn't think about changing his mind because of the doctor's retention.In this ten-year trial game, whoever crosses the boundary first and gives his sincerity is tantamount to violating the rules and losing the game.They are all budget-minded people. The doctor knew that no result could be obtained if he paid his heart, so he simply omitted the link of pleading and persuasion.

But at this moment, he really wanted to know what the doctor thought.He wanted to know how much he was worth in the other party's heart, so he tried again and again; he wanted to know if there were a few moments when the doctor fell in love with him, just like he had fallen in love with the other party.

The killer turned around and went out in a daze. Outside the bedroom was the reception room of the clinic. After leaving the door of the reception room, he would never come back.

In this deserted city, wouldn't it be too sad for Lin Yu who never received a single ounce of love in this deserted city?He has always been driven by hatred, cleverly using others to use himself, until the last moment, he heard the voice in his heart clearly.

It turns out that he is also longing for love, no different from those beings who are entangled in love and cannot break free. He is only more ruthless, but not more detached.He is almost greedy for the things he used to despise the most, but he hasn't paid, so he can't get it.

If the doctors let him stay, maybe he would actually reconsider the decision to sacrifice.He thought dejectedly, but it is impossible for the doctor to say something to persuade him, the other party sees it too clearly, and will not do something without return...

"Ettore." The bedroom door opened suddenly, and the doctor repeated his name behind his back, "Ettore Schiffer. Stay, stay with me."

The assassin's ears sounded like thunder, he trembled all over, his back stood stiffly by the door frame, his teeth chattered with excitement.

The doctor paused for a moment, and said a long paragraph to him in an extremely abnormal manner, "No one understands you better than me. Once you make up your mind to do something, no matter what anyone says, you will never look back. But I still want toSaying to you, 'Stay by my side', your life is not just a choice of revenge, as long as you want, you can get rid of the identity of the adjudicator at any time and go to the vast world."

"If you choose to stay with me, I will go with you, whether you want to go back to the main city to run a clinic, or explore the wasteland beyond the second district. I will upgrade and iterate our relationship and force you to discuss with meYour private affairs, forcing you to keep the brain specimen with you, of course, is the same in reverse, you can also interfere in my private affairs... Maybe I should have said this to you, years ago, I should have said thisgone."

——No, no, no.The killer closed his eyes and raised the corners of his lips mockingly. It wasn't until the doctor said these words that he fully understood his thoughts.He realized that even when the doctor said the words to stay, he had never considered options other than sacrifice. The other party knew his nature too well, and he was really cold-blooded to the extreme.and the feelings of others.

He came to ask for it, and wanted the doctor to keep him, but he had no intention of giving up his ideals and staying by his side.He was just forcing the doctor to prove to him that he was important to the doctor.

After getting the answer that the doctor loved him as he wished, he was able to leave with more peace of mind.He is such a person who only knows how to take but doesn't give...but he is very lucky that someone is willing to give it to him.

"You lost, Coyne." The killer walked a few steps along the dark corridor outside the door, turned his head, his pupils shone slightly, "You know that no one can stop my progress, but you still do it.It's useless."

"I lost." The doctor said calmly, standing in the light inside the door, "I know you won't change a bit because of my words, but I love you, and I can't bear to let you leave without an answer.Winning or losing, my self-esteem, are all important, but you are becoming more and more important to me, I guess that's what love is all about."

The killer laughed "haha", the laughter seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, and it was distorted and deformed like a ball of paper soaked in water.This is a confession that is many, many years late. It belongs to two villains who are both rational and suspicious. The doctor is right. They should have put away their unnecessary disguise and exchanged this sentence a few years ago.

"I love you too." He said softly, without looking back, and walked forward with a smile.Glittering liquid splashed down the hallway, and the lights of the clinic got further and further away from him.The figure behind him still stood in the light, but the light could no longer catch up with the darkness around him.

Rosie woke up suddenly from a short nap. In the conference room of the command center late at night, only a few holographic projectors were still flashing the standby blue light. The think tanks on night shift gathered in front of the screen and whispered.The projections spread quietly.

Everything was running as usual, and the sparks of stars flickered between the sand tables, because the few battles that did not end during the day were still going on.Rosie got himself a glass of ice water and suppressed his chaotic thoughts. He had just had a nightmare. In the dream, the red light representing the highest alert swirled and shone, illuminating the entire command center, like an endless hell full of fire lilies.

Having such a dream means that his subconscious mind feels that something is wrong.Rosie rubbed her forehead, trying to find clues from the faint discomfort. He went through the day's battle situation in his mind, and didn't find too many things wrong. The only abnormality was the East 5 area on the sand table.It had been a day and a half since there had been any battles above a medium size, so it was a little too quiet.

However, East 5 is not Robert's key offensive area in the first place, and its location is very far from the main battlefield, so it is possible that there will be no major battles.During the day, he was too tired to deal with the attacks of the bionics, and he couldn't take care of himself. Now that he thought of Dong 5, Rosie ordered his men to investigate:

"Connect me to the command center of East 5 and ask them if the situation is normal. They probably haven't updated the information on the sand table in real time."

"The correspondent in charge of keeping in touch with East 5 also recorded in the afternoon that East 5 said that no new war broke out." The subordinate immediately called the East 5 command center, and checked the duty records by the way, "Hey, ten minutes agoA correspondent reported that the signal on East 5 has been interrupted, not sure if it is a common signal fluctuation, they are troubleshooting... our holographic phone has not been connected either."

"Dial again." Rosie frowned.He remembered the large-scale signal interruption before the fall of East 2.

The subordinates did so, but the holographic screen was still pitch black, like a soundless black hole leading to an unpredictable future.

Rosie became alert, and just about to order someone to find out what happened, she received an emergency report from East 1 Station. In the report, the conductor wrote that there were five capsule trains from East 5, carrying 15,000 soldiers, and they were about to stop at the station.Request orders from the command center.

"Soldiers from East 5?" Rosie was taken aback, and murmured, "That's almost one-third of the troops in East 5. I haven't dispatched so many soldiers before. Who gave the order?"

The think tanks on duty were whispering to the urgent report, and the door of the conference room was slammed open.Covered in the coolness of the night wind, Deng Huailing hurried in, and said directly, "Rosie, Dong Wu is in danger, you must immediately contact Simmons and Eguchi, and ask them to help Dong Wu nearby!"

Rosie was stunned in confusion: "Huailing, what do you mean..."

"'The End of the Song Project', the killer has seen your secret plan." Deng Huailing lowered his voice so that no one could hear him, and whispered in Rosie's ear.

He no longer cared about what Rosie would think of him after telling the truth. Since the killer did it, it meant that the doctor's efforts to stop him were unsuccessful. Now only Rosie can turn the tide.He didn't want to keep secrets for the killer anymore, and he felt disgusted by pretending to be deaf and dumb like that. He would rather not have a happy future than sacrifice others to pave the way for himself.

What's more, Rosie has the right to know this matter that has a lot to do with him, "The killer decided to die instead of you, so as to meet the conditions for starting the plan!"
