Chapter 16 The Killer's Law

Chapter 16 The Killer's Law

An hour passed quickly. In order to settle Jingliu, I didn't even have time to eat breakfast. After telling Jingliu about the schedule, I arranged for her to live in the room next to mine. The room next door is not big. It is a one-bedroom apartment. But Fujiwara decorated this room very well. I told Jingliu to decorate the room according to her own preferences. There are many room style options in her computer. There are also some requirements and rules and regulations for close subordinates. These are all written in the letter left by Fujiwara in the room. It seems that Fujiwara is really a good subordinate. But for the safety of me, Shiho, Akemi and Jingliu. I can't keep him by my side.

After a few brief instructions, I let her take care of her own business today. I was going to rush to training. When I passed by the cafeteria, I grabbed two pieces of bread and asked for a glass of water. I quickly finished my breakfast and ran towards the elevator.

"You're late, Bing~" A sweet voice sounded from the direction of the elevator. It was Ling. Not only was she there, but Taiyi and No. 39 were also there. They were all waiting for me. It seemed that the elevator job would be handed over to me from now on. The fact that they were still waiting here even though I was late was the best proof.

"Brother Bing. Good morning." Taiyi bowed deeply to me.

"Bing...Brother Bing. Good morning." This timid voice belongs to No. 39.

"Ah. Good morning. Sorry I'm late." I looked at them with a smile.

"No, no, Brother Bing." It was Taiyi who spoke. It seemed that he was really afraid of me.

"Ah. Let's go then." I said to them. "By the way, No. 39. What's your name?" I suddenly remembered. I don't know the girl's name yet.

"Um...Brother Bing, my name is Marissa, and I'm from the United States. You can just call me Mary. Please give me your guidance." The blonde girl bowed deeply to me.

"Ah. I'm Bing. Thank you for your guidance." I smiled at her. "Let's go. We're already five minutes late." I said to them. Then I took out the elevator card and swiped it.

Sixth floor underground. Today is sniper training. The four of us are together. Gin should be guiding us.

"Hey! Kid. You're late the next day. Do you want to die?" I heard Gin's angry roar just after I walked out of the elevator. The cold voice scared Taiyi and Mary so much that they trembled. But Ling was not affected at all. She just frowned. As for me? I don't care at all.

"I'm so sorry, Uncle Gin." I scratched my head and smiled apologetically. "It took me a while to arrange for my subordinates today, so I'm a little late. I'm very sorry."

"Since you know you're late, just accept the punishment." Gin said coldly. Then he sat on the sofa in the rest area of ​​the training ground and lit a cigar. "There are four bags containing Barrett on your left. Each of you take one and carry the bag on your back."

Following Gin's orders, the four of us carried the bag. It was so heavy. The weight of the gun plus the bag and the rack. It was about 15 kilograms, right? But it was a piece of cake for me. And speaking of carrying, I always feel weird. I always feel like I can remember something after carrying something. But under Gin's eyes, I dare not be distracted. So I threw that weird feeling out of my mind.

“小子。你和15号。绕着场地10圈。”Gin的声音永远那么冷。“21号。39号你们两个5圈。”

"Yes!" The four of us answered in unison. A training ground this big. One lap should be about 4 kilometers, right? Ten laps... 40 kilometers? Hmm... I think I can do it in two hours. As for them... I don't know. Anyway, let's run.

Under Gin's supervision, we started running with our heavy guns on our backs.

"Hey. Bing. Why are we doing 10 laps and they are doing 5?" Ling asked me while running.

"Formal members and peripheral members." I said lightly.

"You mean..." Ling frowned slightly.

"Ah. That's what you think." This is what I learned from Jingliu. Four elites are selected from every forty children. Two of the four children are selected to become formal members. The other two become peripheral members. Since the children in the organization are brought back from various countries around the world, they will never worry about the number of people.

There were no extra words. Ling and I both knew that we needed to maintain our strength to achieve our goal. When we ran the third lap, Ling and I were still able to do it easily, but Taiyi and Mary could no longer bear it.

"Come on. There are still two laps to go." I encouraged them. And they nodded at me. I guess they no longer had the energy to talk.

Although there were still two laps to go, Taichi and Mary's speed had obviously slowed down.

BANG!!! The sound of gunfire echoed throughout the training ground.

"Don't fall behind. Catch up!" Gin took out his pistol and fired a shot at Taichi's feet. After Gin's shock, the two men's speed actually increased a little.

Under Gin's threat, Taichi and Mary finished running five laps and lay on the ground gasping for breath, while Ling and I continued running.

"Sixth lap. Seventh lap. My forehead is sweating a little bit." Ling. She was already having trouble breathing.

"Ling, hold on. There are still three laps to go." I slowed down a little and ran in front of her to lead him.

"Hu... He... Hu." Ling frowned. Her purple hair looked a little messy. Her bangs were all over her forehead because of sweat.

It seemed that Ling's cardiopulmonary function had reached its limit. When we were halfway through the eighth lap, Ling's steps began to become unsteady. Finally, she lost her balance and fell down. "Hey, Ling. Are you okay?" When I saw her fall, I hurried to her side and tried to help her up.

boom! ! !
A bullet hit my feet. Looking at the smoke coming out of the hole on the ground, I frowned and looked at Gin who fired the gun. "Who told you to stop?" Gin looked at me unhappily.

"But. On the 15th, she..."

"Little brat!!!" I wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Gin angrily.

"Kid, remember this. If you want to become a member of the organization, you must understand that the mission is the top priority in everything. Do you understand?"

I frowned, thinking about what Gin said. We had to complete the mission while not falling behind.

"Yes. I understand." I stood up and replied.

Ling was lying on the ground, looking at me unwillingly. Tears had already filled her eyes. Maybe she thought she was a burden to me. Or maybe it was because I was stronger than her, and she was unwilling to accept it.

"Ling. Are you okay?" I asked with concern. Ling wanted to get up. But she was already too exhausted. She didn't have the strength to stand up.

I didn't say anything. Instead, I took the Barrett off her shoulder and put it on my own shoulder. I tightened the bag and fastened the two Barretts tightly on my body. Then I carried Ling who was lying on the ground on my back and continued to run forward.

"Bing...you..." Ling, who was carried on my back, said with some surprise.

"Don't talk. I don't want to be distracted." I said to Ling in a slightly serious tone. Then I shut my mouth and continued running forward. I could bear 15 kilograms originally. But now I have at least 50 kilograms on my body. It's really a lot of pressure for me. After all, I'm still a child. So if I say one more word now, it will just waste my energy.

Although I was in a very bad state, I still insisted on running. During the running process, I felt my back was always wet. I didn't know whether it was my sweat or Ling's tears.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"Hu...Hu...Hu." Finally, I finished running ten laps. After putting Ling down, I fell to the ground, breathing the precious air. I didn't even have the strength to untie the Barrett.

"Not bad, kid." Gin came over and sneered at me, throwing me a bottle of water.

"Huh... Huh... Thank you... Thank you, Brother Gin." I said, breathing heavily.

"Hmph. Rest for ten minutes, the training has just begun." After saying that, Gin walked back to the rest area and lit another cigarette.

I got ten minutes of precious rest time. I lay on the ground and began to adjust my breathing.

"Hey. Bing..." A few minutes later, a sweet voice sounded in my ears. It was Ling.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" I sat up after adjusting my breathing. I looked at Ling whose hair was still a little messy and asked.

"Why are you carrying me? Wouldn't it be better for me to just give up and walk on my own?"

"Idiot. Of course it's to complete the mission." I narrowed my eyes and looked at her. "Didn't Gin say that completing the mission is the first priority? If I leave you behind, won't I fail to complete the mission?"

"..." Ling looked at me. Her purple eyes were filled with strange expressions.

"Thank you." Ling said softly after a long while.

"Stupid. Who wants you to thank me?" I continued to squint my eyes. I stood up. "Practice hard. Little girl, you are still too young." I said to Ling with a smile. I reached out and touched her purple bangs.

"Really? I told you before, I only let you touch my hair, not my head." Ling said to me angrily, with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Ah. Sorry, sorry, I forgot again. Hahaha." I laughed embarrassedly.

"Kids!" Gin shouted coldly. "Rest time is over. Let's start training."

"Yes!" the four of us shouted in unison again.

I unscrewed the bottle of water that Gin had just given me. I gulped down two mouthfuls. Then I handed the bottle to Ling who was sitting on the ground. "Hey. You don't think I'm dirty, do you?" I said with a smile. Ling was still looking at me angrily. She stood up and snatched the bottle from my hand. Then she said to me. "Just wait. One day I will surpass you. Three years later I will definitely challenge you!" After that, Ling walked towards where Gin was.

"Ah." I smiled and took my hand back. "I'm waiting for your challenge." I walked towards Gin's position.

In fact, Ling and I both knew that as a killer, abandoning your partner in order to complete the mission was the right choice. But I didn't do that. Ling didn't point it out either. Because we both understood. It was like water in a bottle.
