At 10 o'clock in the evening, inside the safe house in Mihua Town.

Jiang Gu Ling had already brought the prepared dinner to the low table in front of the sofa, Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't eat it.

After taking a shower and changing out of his semi-wet and semi-dry clothes, he fell into a very bad state. When Jiang Gu Ling called him, he responded, but once he didn't talk to him, he just sat there don't say anything.

Seeing Fa Xiao's appearance, Jiang Gu Ling frowned tightly. He really wanted to sit down and ask what happened, but his cell phone rang suddenly.

It was the one contacted by the police, and it was called by Kazami Yuya.

"..." Jiang Gu Ling glanced at the phone screen, then at Zhu Fu Jingguang, "I'll go to the backyard to answer the phone."

An hour ago, Angostella sent an email saying that he would be back soon, that he would be there any time, and that he could not leave the safe house too far.

Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't speak, just nodded silently, and Jiang Guling left with his mobile phone. When he was leaving, he grabbed the head of the little bear who was holding on to his calf, took it off his body, and threw it on the sofa.

The little bear raised its paws and rubbed its head. It looked left and right, and stared at Zhu Fu Jingguang beside him for a while, but didn't approach, and flew away by flapping its wings.

Only Zhu Fu Jingguang was left in the living room.

He was sitting on the soft sofa, but his whole body seemed to be leaning on the hard concrete floor, his whole body was stiff and it was difficult to relax.

He remembered again what had happened on the training ground.

…

8 p.m., training ground.

After rigorous training, the police undercover with the most convenient weapon in hand stood on the round platform of the assessment project, facing the black-haired and red-eyed boy in the video, and froze in place.

The boy was wearing knee-length trousers, and Zhu Fu Jingguang could see the bruises on his calves after the violence. He raised his familiar yet unfamiliar face, with a pair of healthy and healthy eyes.

The image is so vivid, as if the soft and fragile seven-year-old child who had a relationship with him in those days reappeared in front of his eyes.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was completely motionless.

He had met Angostella at the age of seven, not long before he lost his sister. He saw the child rummaging through the trash, tearfully looking for the toy handcuffs that his father had thrown away, and then being led away by his sister.

He didn't care about him at that time. Zhu Fu Jingguang, who wanted to be a policeman and wanted to help more people, didn't notice that a tragedy was about to happen around him at all...Obviously he was so close to him.

"Let's do it."

"Go and kill him, and complete the tasks assigned to you by your superiors. If you fail, many people will be disappointed with you... You don't want to be unable to complete the first step into the organization, do you? Lu Chuanxin..."

The member code-named Spiatus had a soft and gentle voice, like a father coaxing a child to do homework.

Hearing these words that seemed to mean something else, Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was already restless, felt his scalp go numb for a moment, and he turned around at a speed that almost broke his neck.

The man with black hair and red eyes was leaning against the railing beside the round platform. The railing was not high, as long as his waist was up, there was a soundless darkness behind him.

He didn't have any protection on his body, Zhu Fu Jingguang could tell that he wasn't carrying a gun, and he was still in an extremely relaxed posture...as if someone pushed him lightly in front of him, he could fall backwards and die on the ground here.

Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly remembered the way Angst sat on the round platform to practice sniping in the past—the way he sat on the railing with his feet off the ground, and at this moment, he completely overlapped with the man in front of him.

"Don't look at me, your target is there."

"..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked back, the boy on the screen was still sitting obediently on that small chair. He didn't run and jump to escape, there was no disturbing factor around him, and no adult stood by his side to block the imminent fatal blow for him.

He will bear the malice and danger of the dark alone—just as he did seven years ago.

The passage of time seemed to slow down, and Zhu Fu Jingguang felt that he could not hear any sound in his ears. At this moment, all kinds of messy, related or irrelevant thoughts flooded into his brain.

What was the assessment of Japanese whiskey seniors back then?

Why did the organization let him shoot seven-year-old Angostella?

Did the organization do this to test his loyalty, or did they discover that he had met Angostella before?

Did he and Zero investigate Angostella's past?

Did Angustra know that the organization set him up as a sniper target in the assessment?

Angustra... If Angustra knew that he could kill his virtual image, what would he think of him in the future?

…

In front of him was a very easy target, but Zhu Fu Jingguang's hand holding the gun trembled uncontrollably.

[I can always protect you. 】

【I'll wait for your return. 】

…Angestra is still waiting for him to complete the assessment and go back.

"Let's do it."

Spiatus repeated.

This gentle voice was like a catalyst, and Zhu Fu Jingguang felt that his body was completely out of control at this moment. He couldn't control his body at all, even though his soul was yelling to stop at the top of his lungs, he still raised his hands steadily, aiming the muzzle of the gun at the boy's head in the image.

The boy gave him a defenseless grin as he looked into the scope.

boom-

The innocent smile froze on his face, a burst of blood burst from the boy's left eye, and the bright red liquid slowly flowed down from under his injured left eye. He tilted his head and fell from the chair to the ground.

The image began to disappear, and the darkness flooded in from all around, completely swallowing the fallen boy.

— This is the first scene that Zhu Fu Jingguang saw after he came back to his senses.

"..."

"Good job."

Spiatus stood up from the railing and patted him affectionately on the shoulder.

"Angostella he will be happy for you."

He said so with a smile.

…

In the safe house, Zhu Fu Jingguang closed his eyes.

During the mission of tracking xyz cocktails, Zhu Fu Jingguang was not injured or killed anyone. The undercover agent from another criminal organization was killed by a bomb installed by Xiwei, and he didn't even see his body.

But he is still guilty. From today, from the day he decided to shoot the seven-year-old Angustra for his code name, his soul is stained with sin.

He finished the assessment, but ushered in another punishment that he didn't know when it would end.

…

After passing the assessment, the two walked down the stairs one after the other.

Spiatus, who was walking behind, was very indifferent. Even when Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly turned around and grabbed his collar when he was stepping down the last step of the stairs, the expression on his face remained unchanged. The cat's tail suddenly stood up.

Zhu Fu Jingguang's hand holding his collar trembled slightly, and it was the first time that the undercover agent who had always been gentle and calm showed such an angry expression.

"Why should it be set to..." He moved his mouth, but did not call out the code name, "Is this the request of the leader?"

"It's indeed the boss's decision." Spiatus said softly, "Please let me go, Midorikawa-kun. It doesn't matter if you attack me, but you can't scare my cat."

His voice was low and gentle, and his attitude was patient and polite. He didn't even do anything directly, but looked directly at him politely, and persuaded him to let go with his mouth.

Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly let go of his hand.

"Thank you." He also thanked, "You can go, Ireland will send you back to the safe house, and the boss will send you the code number on the way."

Spiatus hugged the cat, comforted it softly, turned and left, leaving only Zhu Fu Jingguang standing there.

Zhu Fu Jingguang stood in a daze for a long time, and he didn't react until Ireland came to call him.

Then he found that his hands were shaking, and his back was already drenched in cold sweat—he was frightened.

This is an indescribable fear, even beyond death, he can't accurately describe that feeling at all. When looking at those crimson eyes~lightnovelpub.net~ he seemed to be on the edge of a cliff, and the abyss below was silently staring at him.

—Even if he hid in the dark closet and listened to the outside guard trying to coax him out with sweet words, he was never so creepy.

…

"Su..."

"…Scotland?"

"Luchuan, what are you thinking? Why are you ignoring me?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang finally came back to his senses from the calling around him, and when he looked up, he saw Angostella, who had come back at some point, standing beside him with Qian Duoduo in his arms.

The fourteen-year-old boy had a smile on his face, and he stared at him with the same smile as the boy in the image.

His right eye is warm and bright red, while on his left eye, there is a shocking scar.
