Chapter 275: Grudge
Chapter 276 Grudge

Trust, tacit understanding. What exactly is it? Let’s not talk about tacit understanding. Three years have passed, and we have been together with Bing day and night for three years. Isn’t it enough to prove our trust in him? I really don’t understand. I am even afraid to think about it. I tried hard to maintain my relationship with Bing, but why? When Bing finished speaking, I felt alienated by him? Bing said, believe him, and he will believe me too. . . But... What should I do? It would be great if I were Shirley, so that maybe I could understand Bing’s inner thoughts. . Really, why can I only be a younger sister? I am not willing to accept this! ! !

——Angel of Annihilation Ling
The tiring night passed quietly in the children's deep sleep, and they did not wake up from their sleep until the time for gathering the next day.

"Bing, do we need to wake them up?" Jingliu asked me while sitting at the dining table, looking at the watch on his wrist.

"Let them sleep a little longer. I'll call them at nine o'clock." I sat opposite Jingliu, tapping the table with my fingers, looking thoughtful.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about Ling." I blurted out.

"Hmm?" Jingliu asked in confusion.

"Ling...seems to have a grudge against me."

"Eh? How come?" Jingliu was puzzled. "Hasn't she always been the one who sticks to you? Why would she have a grudge against you?"

"That's normal." I shook my head gently. I told Jingliu what happened yesterday, "What I said yesterday may not put too much pressure on Taichi and Mary. After all, when the mission is really going out, they must be supporting me in the rear, and the chance of going to the battlefield is very rare, so I won't be too strict with them. But Ling is different. She is destined to go to the battlefield side by side with me. I will be very strict with her. Under the current situation, I said something that made her stressed, so naturally this kind of thing will happen."

"You expected that? Then why did you say it?"

"Ling is different from others. He is the most outstanding child I have ever seen." I recalled. "From the moment I met her, I realized that she was a genius. Sister Jingliu, you also know that the average human brain utilization rate is less than 5%. The highest known is Einstein, with a utilization rate of 10%. Although it has not been tested, I believe that Ling's brain utilization rate should not be lower than 5%. In her childhood, she was stimulated, and then she was brought to the organization, and even brainwashing was saved. This stimulation may have changed the activity of her brain hippocampus. It gave her extraordinary memory and ability to act. So you can see that she is very fast in both academics and skills. Chasing me."

"Are you bragging?" Jingliu looked at me with disdain.

"Well... my situation is a little different." I scratched my head. "Anyway, based on the current situation, Ling's ability is definitely excellent, even better than mine, so the sooner I put pressure on her, the more of a challenge it will be for her, and the more it will stimulate her potential. That's why I have to stimulate her faster and earlier, so that she can catch up with me as soon as possible, or even surpass me."

"But...what should we do?" Jingliu asked worriedly.

"What can I do..." I leaned back in my chair. "Let time do it. When time reaches a certain point, and Ling's alienation is triggered to a certain point, naturally, I will find a way."

"Is it really possible?"

"Oh, it's not like we haven't done that before." I shook my head. "Back then, Mingya was... um."

"Mingya?" An unfamiliar word caught Jingliu's attention.

"Ahem, well, nothing much. Anyway, I'll find a way to deal with Ling. As for other auxiliary matters, I'll leave them to you, Sister Jingliu."

"Hey... Bing, you're hiding something from me." Jingliu approached me from across the table with a joking look on his face. "Tell me..."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you when the time is right." I reached out and scratched Jingliu's pretty face. "I'll go to the training ground first and wake up those kids around nine o'clock. You must be at the training ground on time at half past nine."

"Tsk, so stingy." Jingliu puffed up his cheeks and made a big face at me. "I know. I will make sure they arrive on time." Although he was acting like a spoiled child, no matter whether it was a serious matter or a secret in my heart, as long as I didn't say more, Jingliu would not ask any more questions. Tacit understanding is cultivated little by little like this.

"Huh... I hope Ling can be so successful." I sighed to myself as I walked out of the door. "Back then, it took me two years to train Mingya to be able to keep up with me. As for Ling..." Thinking about the purple color that I couldn't let go of, I couldn't help but smile, "Ling, you are better than anyone else. So, at least let me use a shorter time to train you to be as strong as me. Otherwise, wouldn't my two lives have been lived in vain."

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

At 9:30, as agreed with Jingliu, the children showed up at the training ground on time. Of course, their mental state was not very good. After all, last night's fatigue had exhausted their physical strength. With or without the help of the medicinal bath, their spirits were somewhat sluggish this morning.

"Have you had breakfast?" I asked the three of them. They just nodded.

"Oh, it's only the second day, and you're already exhausted?" I smiled at the three of them. "Okay, okay, I admit that the training load in the past two days was a bit heavy, so let's relax today. How about that?"

Hearing this, the three kids all looked at me with an expression like "Are you serious?" In response, I just spread my hands and continued, "It's true, today's gravity is only 0.2 times."

"Reducing so much all at once?" Ling asked. "Aren't we able to handle 0.5? Why do we have to cut it down by half?"

"Ha, although I admire your courage, the specific gravity is up to me." I reached out and tapped Ling's forehead. "Run laps first. Meet at the shooting range at 10:30."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Tsk, I can't guess what you're thinking." Ling muttered in a voice as soft as a mosquito. Although she was confident that she was the only one who heard it, my ears were specially trained, and such a sound could not escape my detection. However, I didn't say much, and everything went according to the original plan.

At half past ten, everyone came to the shooting range and faced the target in front of them. Without my saying anything, the children took up the guns in front of the stage and started shooting. The results were slightly better than the previous two days, but they still needed practice.

"The reason why I'm reducing your time today is because today's training is going to be longer." I said softly as I stood beside the three of them. "Hold your guns and stand for a whole morning. It's that simple."

"Endurance training?" Taiyi whispered.

"Yes. Under a gravity of 0.2, holding a gun, we train endurance and standing posture. We can rest for five minutes every half hour until the end of the morning." "Isn't this the same as the training we usually receive from the organization?" Ling asked me, holding the gun.

"Basics are the most important thing. If you feel it's not challenging enough, you can switch to medium-sized firearms." I said to Ling. "Oh, by the way, you have to bring the punishment props." As I said that, I took the cat ears that I put here yesterday from the table next to me and brought them to the three children.

"I say, Bing, have you had enough fun?" Ling looked at me with her half-moon eyes narrowed.

"Well... I think I can still play for another year." I grinned. "Anyway, pick it up first. See you at noon."

"Where are you going?"

"Go back and prepare for your lessons."

"You want to be lazy..."

"You guessed it right, but there's no prize~" I smiled and winked at Ling, then left the training room and walked towards my room. As for what I was going to do... Do you remember the last time we scouted the place? This time I'm going to do it for real.

"Sister Jingliu, if I don't come back this afternoon, you can take Ling and the others to have lunch, and then take them back to the training ground to do sniper simulation exercises."

"Okay, are we going on a mission today?" Jingliu stood up and started to take out the clothes for the mission for me.

"Well, days like this will continue in the future. I'll leave the children to you today." I took the clothes, sorted out the equipment in my hands, and then set off, because Vermouth had been waiting for me for a long time in the cafe.

"I'm late, Sister Bei." In the cafe, I saw Vermouth dressed in casual clothes.

"Ala, here I come, Bing." Vermouth said to me while playing with the sunglasses in his hand. "You look pretty good. Are you confident about today's mission?"

"Of course, when have I ever lost confidence?" I gave Vermouth a big smile.

"Is today's mission clear?"

"Well, I've read the mission brief. We're going to Nara National Park, right?" I replied.

"Our identity is..."

"Mother and son."

"The mission action plan is..."

"Play as a tourist, the child gets lost to attract the police, creating an opportunity for the mother to assassinate. Or the mother can hold the child back and the child takes the opportunity to act. Make the decision based on the distance of the target."

"Very good, our goal is..."

“No cavities~”

"...ha?"

"Um... No, I was mistaken. It was the deputy chief of the Nara Metropolitan Police Department, Oharano Satoshi."

"Well, if there are no questions, let's go."

"Stand by at any time~" I smiled, and then followed Vermouth out of the base and headed to Nara.

. . . . . .

On the other side, it was almost lunch time, and Jingliu came to the training room to invite the children to eat.

"Eh? Sister Jingliu? Where's Bing?"

"Bing is out on a mission. He probably won't be back by noon." Jingliu replied. "But he assigned me all the afternoon tasks. I'll keep an eye on you guys in the afternoon."

"What? Didn't he go back to rest?" Ling put down the gun and asked while moving her stiff arms.

"Rest?" Jingliu was stunned. But he soon understood. Most likely Bing thought that the task could be completed in one morning, and then came to continue training them. "That guy never takes a break." Jingliu chuckled. "Let's go, let's go eat."

"Really? In this case, we have to carry this thing all day long." Ling raised her hand and looked at the gravity ring on her arm with dissatisfaction.

"The weight has been reduced anyway. Ling, don't complain." Mary advised.

"Humph, you guys always speak for Bing." Ling's cheeks suddenly puffed up. She said unhappily. "Forget it. Let's go eat. Bing doesn't even want to tell us the truth, really." After saying that, Ling walked out of the training ground.

"It seems like there is some grudge..." Jingliu had a hint of helplessness on his face, but he didn't say anything. "I hope Bing can handle it."
