"Dear sister, I am Masako...

Masako's voice came from the small machine.

"Dear sister Takako!

The man standing in front of you is my benefactor.

Please don't hurt her. Wu Sang is very good to me,

I am currently studying painting somewhere in China.

Here is my favorite anime. Sister Takako!

You know what? I'm very excited right now,

I can do something I like to do every day.

The mountains and rivers here are very beautiful, and the students are also very friendly to me.

Well. I'm very good now. I have food and accommodation provided by someone. Wu Sang fought for Masako.

In order for me to study well, Wu Sang put in a lot of effort.

Wu Sang is a good person. Sister, if you see him, don't hurt him.

Every day, I can learn new painting techniques. There are many teachers who will teach me.

Whether it is European and American painting schools or Chinese painting, Japanese painting can be learned here.

I have many classmates, and we have a very harmonious relationship.

Please don't worry, sister. I will come back to you in one year.

I miss you Masako’s message."

"Miss Takako! What do you think?

Can you, the Japanese, produce this video recorder now?"

"Impossible." Yamaguchi Takako shook his head.

"Japanese factories cannot produce such products now.

The workmanship of this kind of machinery is so fine. The sound is so perfect,

It's almost like a real person talking to you."

Yamaguchi Takako somewhat believed what Wu Daxiong said.

"This high-tech product was produced in 2011.

And now it is 1944. Think about it! Miss Takako.

There's one more thing I want to tell you.

Takako, are you from Hiroshima? Do you live in Hiroshima City?

I heard from Ms. Yamaguchi Masako that your whole family later moved to Hiroshima."

"That's right. But Wu Sang! Why are you asking these questions?"

"I want to tell you something, how should I say it?"

"What's wrong? Is there something that I can't tell you frankly?"

"That's it, Miss Takako! If you believe me,

You should go back and move your family to Tokyo as soon as possible. Don't live in Hiroshima.

Miss Takako, don’t ask why, I can only tell you this."

Wu Daxiong knows.

That is August 6 next year.

The Americans dropped two bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Caused huge losses of people, lives and property.

After a dazzling flash of light and a roar like the sky was falling, Hiroshima ceased to exist.

At that time, Hiroshima's population was more than 340,000, and most of the people near the center of the explosion died.

Of the city's 76,000 buildings, 48,000 were completely destroyed and 22,000 were severely damaged.

By the end of 1945, the death toll from the Hiroshima nuclear bombing was 140,000.

Moreover, the intense light waves of the bomb explosion blinded thousands of people.

The radiation rain caused some people to die slowly and painfully over the next 20 years.

The violent wind caused by the shock wave destroyed all the buildings.

Farther away, some people are still alive by luck,

But either he was severely burned, or his eyes were burned into two holes...

Wu Daxiong said:

"That's it, it's up to you whether you believe it or not.

I am telling you this for the sake of Miss Yamaguchi Masako."

"But, Wu Sang, this is just your one-sided statement."

"Miss Takako, listen to my advice.

You'd better return home with your people. Japan will be defeated soon...",

"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense! It's impossible.

Our Japanese Empire is invincible and no one can defeat it."

The voice Miss Takako shouted was very inappropriate, because she felt,

What Wu Daxiong said may be true. What a terrifying ending.

"Since the death of Isoroku Yamamoto, a hero in the eyes of the Japanese people,

Yamaguchi Takako felt that half of their dreams had been destroyed.

The belief that we were invincible in the past began to waver."

"What is your creed as an Assassin? No matter the cost.

Complete the mission and kill the target. Right?

Does it matter whether there are good or bad people? Are they old people or children?" Wu Daxiong asked.

"What? Masako, has she even told Wu Sang this?"

"Miss Takako! Don't you think there is something wrong with your Assassin's Creed?

Does it violate basic humanitarianism and human conscience? Let me tell you.

Those are all reactionary and naked fascism...

You should think about it again, Miss Takako! Again,

What I'm talking to you now.

It’s all for Yamaguchi Masako’s sake. I hope you will think twice.”

"why why?"

Yamaguchi Takako wants to ask countless why?

However, looking at the VCR in front of me and what Wu Daxiong said just now,

And the scene after the defeat of the Japanese military described.

Yamaguchi Takako was shaken, and she felt very troubled.

"Is this person lying to me?

But why is Wu Sang lying to me? He is so kind to sister Masako.

What reason does he have to lie to me?"

Yamaguchi Takako thought about it again and again and finally made a decision.

"Miss Ai Wen is inside. Wu Sang, please take her away."

Wu Daxiong opened the door and walked in quickly, and saw Miss Ai Wen lying on a bed. She was still in a coma.

Without saying a word, Wu Daxiong picked up Miss Ai Wen and turned around.

Called Li Heiniu, "Let's go."

Yamaguchi Shunichi ran into the house and looked at Yamaguchi Takako, still staring blankly at the VCR.

"Sister Takako, are you okay?" Yamaguchi Takako said nothing.

I'm still fiddling with that mini video recorder obsessively.
