The detention room, which is less than three square meters, has no furnishings and no windows except for a toilet. The only door is made of iron, and there is a food delivery port below, which is also tightly closed at this moment.
Darkness is the color inside the prison.
Silence is the accompaniment in the detention room.
Edmund sat on the floor handcuffed.
Edmond is no stranger to this place.
Some special D-class personnel who are about to be executed will always appear here.
However, he did not expect that one day he would appear here.
well.
He sighed slightly, unable to see Edemon's expression in the darkness.
But the sigh said it all.
"I couldn't hold it back."
"Obviously I want to wait until I retire...why am I so impulsive?"
"It's pity that I still have twenty-nine years and eleven months of mortgage payment left."
Edmund couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that his house was going to be taken away by the bank and put up for auction, and that all the down payment and one month's loan repayment he had paid were in vain.
Especially when he thought about how he had scrimped and lived frugally in the past ten years to buy a house, he couldn't help but sob.
He feels distressed.
However, he has no real regrets.
Some things are just like this. They may be said to be dismissive, but in fact they are deeply rooted in the heart and can never be forgotten.
Edmond knew very well that even if he had to do it again, he would still do it.
As I get older and older, my ideals are getting further and further away, but... the blood is not yet cold.
He could feel his heartbeat as he breathed.
Every time, it's powerful.
He also knew what he was about to encounter.
If you do something willful, you will naturally have to pay the price.
These are the rules of this world.
It won't change because of him.
"According to the procedures of the 'shelter', I have about 2-3 days left. Should I make a bucket list?"
"Forget it, I can't get out here. It's impossible to complete."
"Have a rest."
"have a good rest."
"Then, go where I should go."
Edmund told himself this.
He changed from a sitting position to lying down. He originally wanted to put his arms under his head, but the handcuffs made this position awkward and uncomfortable. He had to turn his body sideways and put his hands together on his side.
Edmund planned to have a good sleep.
Then, just when he was about to fall asleep——
Click, click.
Suddenly there was a sound of the iron door opening.
The light shone in, and Edmond, who had his eyes closed, could feel his eyelids light up, but he did not move.
It was nothing more than an interrogation, and he had nothing to say.
"Senior Edmund!"
Esther's voice sounded.
Edmund immediately stood up and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Esther was standing alone outside the door, not holding a gun.
He was really worried that this simple junior would do something irrational.
But Esther didn't notice this. He was full of joy and rushed directly to Edmund. He took the key and opened Edmond's handcuffs.
"Senior Edmond, you are okay."
Excited Esther spoke very fast.
"Is everything okay?"
Edmund was startled.
Immediately, the joy of surviving the disaster appeared in my heart.
But his experience as an old salted fish told him that things were not that simple.
You know, he shot Chuck.
According to the regulations of the 'shelter', for such a vicious thing, even if there are extenuating circumstances, he will not be released so easily. He will definitely be detained for a long time, and then he will be changed from level C to level D, or even level E.
right.
And this immediate release…
Am I going to have my memory wiped and then be kicked out?
I will no longer be me.
Even, don’t you even know that 1+1=2?
As a senior C-level personnel, Edmond knows a few things.
He shuddered when he thought of this.
Rather than that, it would be better to just die.
"Am I being demoted?"
Edmund asked tentatively.
"No."
"Not only have you not been demoted, you have also been promoted a small level and become C+ level!"
"Moreover, you are now the supervisor of Ang City."
Esther shook her head and said with a smile.
"What?"
Edmond exclaimed.
"You can't believe it either?"
"I couldn't believe it when I got this information."
"However, the official document has come down. Senior Edmond, you are really the director of Angcheng. Congratulations... Senior, what's wrong?"
Esther congratulated Edmund, but before he finished speaking, he noticed that Edmund's face changed drastically, as if this promotion was something more terrifying than death.
"We're in big trouble."
Edmund replied with a wry smile.
He knows very well how the 'shelter' operates.
It was precisely because of this clarity that he knew what the unusual scene in front of him meant.
He even vaguely guessed whose handiwork it was.
Thinking of this, Edmund stood up without hesitation. He said to Esther in a very low voice: "Pack up the valuable things and we will leave Angcheng immediately. Don't worry, I have six 'safe routes', so
When suspicions are raised, they will all focus on this, and then we will change our ways and take the seventh 'safe route'."
"I know a plastic surgeon. His skills are good enough for us to deal with more troubles."
"I have prepared my new identity a long time ago. It is a real identity, not a forgery. It has everything from birth certificate to school to work, including dental records."
After saying that, Edmond took the lead and walked out.
After taking two steps, he realized that Esther and Edmond had not followed, so he turned back subconsciously.
He saw Esther looking at him with admiration.
In fact, Esther's admiration for Edemon once again reached a new level at this time.
Sure enough, Senior Edmon was already prepared!
Even if the worst happens, under the guidance of Senior Edmund, we will definitely be safe and sound!
call!
Esther took a deep breath.
He walked up to Edmund.
"Senior Edmund, I have to tell you something. Can we find a quiet place?"
Esther said softly.
"Is it your identity as the 'Holy Snake Society'?"
"No need to say it, I know."
Edmond said.
Esther looked at Edemon blankly, his eyes full of shock.
He couldn't believe that Senior Edmon actually knew his hidden identity.
"When did you know that?"
"I guessed it from the fifth day you became a C-level personnel and moved next door to me."
"Gone."
"Everyone has an unexplainable past. You do, and so do I."
"The most important thing is how we face the future."
Edmon said and motioned to Esther again.
"The future?"
Esther muttered this word in a low voice, and then the young man smiled, and a certain light suddenly appeared on his face, and he said in an unprecedented confident tone: "This is what I want to talk to you too."
Half an hour later, in a cafe five minutes' walk from the Asylum in Angcheng and in the opposite direction to the one Esther often went to, Edmon was looking at Esther in horror.
"Gourmet party?"
"Hydra?"
He asked dully.
"Yes."
"Hydra belongs to the Taotie Society, the Taotie Society is in charge of everything, and Hydra only obeys its orders."
"We need a force that can protect us."
"So, there is Hydra."
"And the Taotie Club will be our last insurance."
Aster nodded seriously and expressed his thoughts.
Edmon looked at his junior blankly. At this time, he didn't know what to say.
He never thought that his junior would accomplish such a big thing in less than a day.
Although the current "Hydra" is still an empty shell without even a prototype, but with "Mask Man" as a high-end combat power, the development and formation of "Hydra" is only a matter of time.
"Are we really going to do this?"
Edmond took a deep breath and asked.
"It has to be done!"
"Senior, your kindness and integrity make you hesitate, but your wisdom tells you what is right."
"Your kindness and integrity guide me, but it is also your kindness and integrity that make me sure of what I should do."
Esther answered firmly.
But Esther's words made Edmond feel embarrassed.
Kindness and integrity?
I... just want to eat and die.
However, Esther's proposal seems to be, maybe, maybe it will make it better for me to eat and wait for death?
Thinking of this, Edmund pondered.
However, he still had a trace of hesitation.
Because he couldn't be sure whether this was the right thing to do.
Will it cause trouble to those around you?
Do you want to stop Esther?
Or are you just going with the flow?
"Please don't forget those innocent victims - Master Jason gave a word evaluation."
Looking at Edemon who raised his head and looked at him, Esther said something simply.
"Pitiful."
"Pitiful?"
Edmond murmured to himself.
Although it was helpless to die on the battlefield, it was a worthy death after all.
Died by conspiracy, no matter how brilliant it is, it is just a fig leaf.
Thinking of this, he nodded.
"Okay, I'll join."
He didn't want something like this to happen again.
Some things only happen once.
"Welcome back, chief."
Esther said with excitement.
Senior Edmon is back. With the wisdom of Senior Edmond and the strength of Lord Jason, Hydra will definitely rise directly, and he will definitely live a long life.
"leader?"
Edmon looked at Esther in confusion.
"I founded Hydra. As a senior, you are naturally the leader."
"However, Hydra is a secret organization, and we usually try to hide ourselves."
"But some things still require human intervention, so I think a semi-public organization is needed as a 'shell'. It will focus on protection and prevent things like today from happening."
After Esther explained, he said seriously.
"Protect?"
"Can you give me the naming rights?"
Edmund asked.
"certainly!"
Esther nodded.
Edmond picked up the coffee and looked at the sunny streets of Angcheng at noon. Recalling the six friends, he slowly said the names he had thought of——
