Lloyd said: "Tio... do you think we will specifically ask you something you don't want to mention?"
"The search is important, but these are two different things." Ellie said: "For us, although you are a colleague who works together... But compared to this, first of all, I regard you as my irreplaceable
companion."
Randy: "Everyone has things that they don't want to tell others for some reason. Although my past has been exposed a little bit, sister Tio, if you don't want others to know these things... then we will
I will fully assist you.”
"Randy, Ellie."
Lloyd said: "That's it, but if Tio you want to tell us...if telling it makes you feel better, then we are willing to share the burden for you."
"Lloyd..." Tio was silent for a moment; "Haha, you can't say such a blushing and heart-pounding line, not only Lloyd, but also Ellie and Randy..."
"I said, you two have also been influenced by Lloyd, right?" Tio said.
Randy laughed: "Maybe that's wrong."
"Well, I can't deny it." Ellie said.
Lloyd sighed and said: 'At least deny it.' After all, I just said such embarrassing words...
Tio pondered for a moment and then said, "Actually, I have mentioned it to Lloyd a little bit before... I was separated from my parents when I was 5 years old. It was because I was half-priced by a fanatical group..."
Ellie: "Ah..."
Randy: "That is?"
Tio: "Although I still don't know the purpose of that group... It was a very scary memory. They were locked up in a dark place. Those people didn't know what they were doing, but they denied the goddess and the pale devil.
, what do you want to get from this? At that time, I and other people who were arrested were their tribute, but some people were treated cruelly.
That group has several strongholds, using various methods and trying different rituals at different strongholds."
"And what I was doing at that base was also a practical exercise."
Randy said: "Could it be that your sensing ability... comes from this?"
Tio nodded: "Yes, they conducted various adjustments on the people who were there at the time, trying to improve the five senses and even including mandatory sleep cues and mental burdens, trying to improve our inspiration."
Ellie said: "How could..."
"Even so, I may be lucky. No one else could survive except me." Tio said: "The people around me spent hours and hours, and finally when I was the only one left, I got enough
The ability to hear other people’s cries.”
Ellie said: 'Tio...'
Randy said: "Damn it."
"Finally, Lloyd, your brother, Mr. Kay, rushed into the stronghold where I was. Mr. Kay's team defeated those people and occupied the stronghold."
"I heard that the resistance was very fierce, and almost all the enemies committed suicide on the spot when they were suppressed."
"Mr. Kay found the only surviving child, which was me. At that time, you and I were weak and were taken to a member of Crossbell for treatment for several months."
"I've discussed the next thing with Lloyd before," Tio said.
"It's really ironic. He took such good care of me and I wanted to thank him so much, but after I heard that Mr. Kai died in the line of duty three years ago, I didn't feel any sadness at all. It was as if my human feelings were lost as the price of gaining strength. I even had such an incredible sigh, maybe I wanted to ask him, that person who is always optimistic, how I should survive with a disabled existence like me."
"However, in the end, I didn't have the chance to hear the answer. I was accepted by the Aipu Group. As expected, I am still confused to this day."
"How should I live and why should I live?"
"Tio."
Ellie hugged her gently: "What does it matter? If you are confused, you are confused. Everyone is confused by it."
"Why should we live and how should we live? Not many people in the world can understand these issues." Lloyd said.
"Me, Ellie and Randy are all so confused."
Randy said: "I have been confused for a long time, but, sister Tio, you are taking it too seriously. How can such a difficult problem be solved at once!"
"If you can't afford it no matter what, then just keep looking for answers."
"But there is no need to search alone. Let us accompany you to search together."
Ellie: "Of course I do too. Everyone will help you and help you find the answer to this difficult problem."
Tio: "Both Ellie and Randy seemed to have been influenced by Lloyd. Even I, the person listening, felt embarrassed. Why is this happening?
Randy chuckled: "Maybe it's fate. From the moment we choose to enter the support department, we all become someone's victim."
Ellie: "Hehehe, let's share this embarrassing feeling together."
"Although I don't understand why I became the perpetrator, I agree with the point of sharing joy and sorrow."
"Not only do we need to share our embarrassing feelings, we also need to share our sadness and pain." Lloyd said, "Of course we also need to share our happiness and joy. Let's talk about partners this time.?"
Tio said: "Really, I have never felt like this before...I feel embarrassed, bored, and panicked, but I also think it's good."
After that, Lloyd and his team took the bus back to Crossbell overnight with Tio.
Lloyd and others talked with the section chief again.
After Tio and Kia fell asleep.
The three of them, Lloyd, told the section chief everything.
"Really? Did you mention this name? True knowledge."
Lloyd said: "Section chief, please tell me what happened six years ago?"
"Of course you know, section chief?" Ellie said.
Randy: “I feel like I’ve understood Tio’s situation from the beginning.”
The section chief said: "It's natural for me to know, because I was the person involved in suppressing that stronghold with Kai at that time."
"Is that so? Then section chief, you are the eldest brother's?"
"I was the boss directly under me at the time, but I like to do things not according to the rules, so I took in a new person, one of whom is your eldest brother."
"That guy is straightforward and reckless, but he is a very good investigator." The section chief said: "The other newcomer in the same group with him is a sharp contrast in a good sense."
"The other one? Could it be Dudley from the first department or something?" Randy said.
"No, that guy is an out-and-out member of the same discipline. Another extraordinary person I accepted is the Sword of Wind Saint Os."
"What!"
Ellie said: "Is that person originally from our side?"
"Yes, but he resigned a few years ago and became a guerrilla." The section chief said: 'This is probably one of the reasons why we here have a subtle sense of distance from guerrillas.'
Randy: "This is really true..."
Lloyd: "Brother and Mr. Os are actually from the same period."
"But in terms of age, Ouse was a few years older. At that time, Ouse was already married and had just had a daughter. All in all, he was an overly serious man.
Kai, on the other hand, is unrestrained, reckless, and generally an optimistic fool."
"But precisely because these two people get along so well, before the end of the year, they have begun to be hailed as Crossbell's youngest and strongest combination."
The section chief said.
"Indeed, if they are the ones, they can indeed hold the title of the strongest." Ellie said.
"Ah, to be honest, I am also very proud," the section chief said, "that I have been given the great opportunity to train such outstanding subordinates."
"In this way, our group of people achieved countless magnificent achievements step by step, and finally replaced the first department and were entrusted to assist in the task of investigating true knowledge."
"Could that be that group?" Randy said.
"That's right, they were the ones who discovered true knowledge at that time," the section chief said.
"So there is such a connection, something demonic." Randy said.
"It has been 6 years since the case was closed. At that time, a lot of confusion remained. However, during these decades, they were the worst group in history. They had more than 10 strongholds on this continent, and they also repeatedly carried out various attacks in strongholds in the United States.
There are various forms of rituals, ranging from summoning terrible demons to studying ancient objects, and when they perform these rituals, they will use something called true knowledge."
The section chief said.
"Well, these are so shocking." Ellie said.
"What's the best way to end that case?" Randy said.
"But because this matter involved a lot, under the command of the famous guerrillas, a large-scale combat operation was carried out to wipe out all the strongholds in various places and suppress them."
"At that time, Os and Kai, I, and I were responsible for one of the places where we rescued Tio who was weak. Tio was 8 years old at that time. He was almost 10 years old in the hands of those bastards. Tio at that time was in that place.
He was extremely weak at that time, but his situation may be pretty good, except for the rest she thought... But if compared with the horrific rituals performed in other strongholds, their encounters were still relatively lucky." Section Chief.
explain.
Lloyd; "Why are those guys allowed to exist?"
Randy said: "Compared with what happened in Crossbell, this is a bit different in nature."
"Yes, no matter what, that group has been completely eliminated. Although it is said that there are still some remnants, they were secretly eliminated by associations and rendezvous."
The section chief said: ‘This nightmare should have been extinguished.”
Lloyd said: "But now there is true knowledge."
"This may all be speculation, but if it is true, the nightmare 6 years ago may reappear in another form."
Section Chief; "And he intervened through the fight between Lubache."
Ellie: "If this is true, it must not be stopped or ignored."
"Of course." The section chief said, "Lloyd, the prisoner who killed your eldest brother three years ago has not been found yet."
"Yes." Lloyd said: "It is said that there are too few clues to expand."
"Well, because that guy Kai has always been conducting investigations alone since he was transferred to the First Section."
The section chief said: "Lubache or some other organization, or he discovered some big shot's secret and was killed."
"But beyond that another possibility comes to mind."
Lloyd said: "The remnants of that gang, right?"
"Well, now that the matter has come to this, this possibility is becoming more and more realistic." The section chief said: 'In this sense, for me, this may be a battle to avenge my former subordinates.'
"I'm sorry for you, but let me take the spotlight next time."
"There is no way to apologize to us. On the contrary, it is a great help." Ellie said.
"This tone is just letting us go," Randy said.
"Who knows, but there is no doubt that the Secret Service Support Division was originally an organization established based on Kai's idea."
The section chief said.
"Is that so?" Lloyd said.
Ellie said: "Then the so-called department was established to compete with the Guerrilla Association for reputation..."
The section chief said: "This is just an excuse to get the top management to nod. At that time, Kai told me that Crossbell now needs strength that can transcend the wall, a place that can tolerate young people's troubles and allow them to unite and move forward...
..Isn’t this something we must have?”
"What a passionate big brother." Randy said.
Ellie said: "Is this also the reason why Tio came to the support department?'
The section chief said: "Well, the eldest brother wants to stay in a place where Kai's will is inherited, although she herself has not explicitly told me."
"Really? Is that so?" Lloyd said: "Let's not talk about the elder brother's matter for now. The first thing to do now is to prevent the spread of this true knowledge. The other is Kia. She may have some connection with that group."
Ellie: 'Ah? Is there still such a possibility?'
Randy said: "Yes, the loss of memory and the very good cooking skills may be due to true knowledge."
The section chief said: 'I have already started investigating.'
"So, Section Chief, can you leave the operation to us and the protection of Kia to you, Section Chief? After all, we have to cooperate with Section 1, and we also need a person to coordinate the planning."
Lloyd said.
"no problem."
Randy said, "Yes, one needs to be stationed."
Lloyd said: "It's rare for you, section chief, to take the initiative to ask for help, but I said some ignorant words."
The section chief said: "Humph, no way, I accept it. Although I said I would be with you at any time if we need to discuss it, I will also contact and coordinate with all parties for you."
"But you have to try to use judgment and be careful."
Randy said: "Well, it seems that it will be very busy starting from tomorrow."
Big brother's will, Lloyd thought secretly when he was sleeping at night.
