"Oh, you know that you are about to die, but you are still pretending to be calm? You are indeed the number one - this time I sincerely cherish your talent. I hope you will be my right-hand man from the beginning. But if you insist not
If you are willing to be used by me and still go against me, then I will have no choice but to destroy you." The ruthless sneer of Black Crow came from the other end of the speaker.
"Come on, you've obviously never wanted my help from the beginning. Is there any point in changing the subject now?" Ritsuko replied indifferently.
"You really blamed me wrongly. Although there are indeed other reasons, I did take a fancy to your talent at the beginning. Obviously the order I received was to deal with all the entities that may cause obstacles on the spot, but
The fact that you can live so well for so long is not due to me, isn't it?" Black Crow asked with a smile:
"Think about it carefully, even if you are indeed a hundred times more alert than ordinary people, you are still just a weak woman with no power. If I really determined to kill you, could you survive for one more minute under the hail of bullets? That
It’s impossible for a female police officer to protect you 24 hours a day, right?”
"...Well, it seems that you did let me go intentionally." Ritsuko thought for a moment and said: "But, have you forgotten our oath? You can tolerate my betrayal three times, but this time you are so directly prepared.
Have you given up on me, or have you used those three times long ago?"
"That's right, why should I abide by that so-called oath - I know better than you, I know what kind of treacherous and unscrupulous person I am. Of course, in order to win over capable people, it is necessary to abide by promises to a certain extent. However,
Haha, the intelligence network I have failed to capture your most important movements——"
Black Crow's voice seemed to contain a sword of wind and frost, and just hearing it made people feel bitingly cold: "Ritsuko Chitose, you have stepped on our red line - you ran away from Higanbana Sanatorium."
Hearing the words "Higanhua", Ritsuko suddenly felt like she was struck by lightning. The scene of her narrow escape that she had spent hand in hand with Zhang Ke seemed to reappear in her mind.
——Hearing this, Zhang Ke couldn't help but interrupt Ritsuko, and immediately blurted out and asked: "Why would Black Crow mention Bianhua Sanatorium at this time? Is this also their property?!... That's right, arrest the person Tongman
Detention in a room with high-voltage electricity, with deadly mechanisms everywhere, or forced hypnosis is indeed not something that ordinary organizations can do."
"At that time, I had almost the same idea as you, but Black Crow's words completely refuted me." Ritsuko's eyes darkened and he continued:
"Higanhana Sanatorium? Why do you care about this? Is that also a branch of your organization?" Ritsuko's body trembled subconsciously, and she asked in a stern voice, leaning against the wall next to her with one hand.
"I hope so. In this case, I don't need to take action against you. After all, you are just a fugitive and not worthy of my attention." Black Crow said coldly:
"But if a person comes out of the enemy's organization without any reason, and he is a smart person who always tries to find my flaws and make trouble with me, then naturally I can't rest assured and let him live."
"You mean... Higanhana Sanatorium is your enemy...? How is that possible? What on earth is..." Ritsuko felt that her brain was having difficulty digesting such a large amount of information, but Black Crow would not stop and wait.
She adjusted and continued:
"And you have probably guessed something yourself, right? That is your physical characteristics, which would have hindered our initial plan. Keeping you alive is a time bomb that will detonate at an unknown time. Of course, in that nursing home
Most people are like this - so I'm sorry, even I can't save your life, no matter how much I cherish your talent."
"Physical traits?" Ritsuko suddenly thought of what he seemed to understand during the more than ten years he was locked in a life-support cabin.
"Actually, after you escaped, I thought you were adopted by some good person and lived peacefully for so many years. But until I was tricked by you this afternoon, I decided to spend all my energy and means to track down your past.
So I searched all the way to your home—unexpectedly, you still have clothes from the nursing home in your closet."
At this point, Black Crow's words contained a bit of gritted resentment: "Chitose Ritsuko, you actually colluded with our enemies. This is already a matter of principle and cannot be covered up no matter what."
...Yes, he was right. Ritsuko didn't want to throw away the clothes he wore when he escaped from the sanatorium until he did.
Because every time she saw this worn-out dress, she would always think of the time when she escaped from the nursing home with that man.
That was the first time in her not-too-long life that she really made a choice for her own happiness and future.
It was also the first time that someone could break into her frozen heart and rekindle her hope for tomorrow.
——At this point, Ritsuko's face suddenly turned red and she lowered her head subconsciously. Zhang Ke couldn't help but blush too. He seemed to begin to understand what kind of special emotion Ritsuko had for him.
So much so that even if he became a traitor in Shanghai Flower Bar and even killed Xu Xiaoli, Ritsuko would not hesitate to violate the rules and try to awaken his memory and provide him with clues.
Facing the girl in front of him who had the appearance of a teenage girl, but had gone through many vicissitudes of life, and whose actual age was probably older than his own, Zhang Ke suddenly didn't know what to say at this time.
Have you worked hard? Don't take it to heart? Or thank you? It seems that no matter which sentence you say, it seems so embarrassing now.
The two of them remained silent, and the atmosphere between them was very awkward, until Zhang Ke took the initiative to break the silence:
"If I can let you have a life of your own, even if it is not a happy and complete life, I still feel that my actions are meaningful."
"Well, I know you would say that." Ritsuko nodded and said, "The life after escaping from the sanatorium can be said to be a gift you gave me. It's like a box of chocolates with different flavors, whether dark or dark.
Whether it's the bitterness of chocolate or the sweetness of milk chocolate, it's a unique experience, and it's always more exciting than bland plain water."
"So did you successfully escape from the tunnel later?" Zhang Ke asked with some concern, "Or was Black Crow at the last moment unwilling to let you die in the explosion, so he still rescued you?"
"How can he be such a kind person? What's more, he has already said that Higanhua Sanatorium is his mortal enemy. He has already said this, so how can he spare my life again?" Ritsuko said with a bitter smile, "Save me.
The person you know is someone you know, but would never have thought of."
"Ah, who else could it be? Xu Xiaoli? Ye Suling? It can't be Lao Ji, right?" Zhang Ke asked in astonishment.
