Chapter 59 The Most Heartbroken Person
Chapter 60 The Most Heartbroken Person
"Bing... I'm sorry... I can't do anything..." Vermouth's voice filled with deep apology rang in my ears.

long silence.

"Sister Bei... this is not your fault..." I gradually calmed down and said coldly to Belmode. Seeing the decadence in my eyes, Belmode's heart was also tightly gripped.

"Bing. What are you going to do? If you don't complete this task, you will be treated as a traitor to the organization." Vermouth looked at me worriedly.

"Haha, what else can I do..." I frowned. Then I smiled miserably. "How long do I have?"

"Starting from tomorrow. One day." Vermouth said to me with a hint of regret. "Ice. I know this mission is difficult for you. But please complete it, otherwise. Everyone around you will be in danger."

"Hu..." I leaned back in my chair and looked at the ceiling. "I know." The voice sounded very weak. Vermouth understood. If she were to take on this mission, she would also be hesitant. So she could understand my current mood. "Sister Bei, please let me be free for a day today." A tear rolled down my eye. I said to her helplessly.

"Bing... OK, I promise you, but you have to wear this monitor when the mission starts tomorrow." Vermouth took out a tie clip from his pocket. A miniature monitor was clearly hanging on it.

"I know. I'll bring it tomorrow. Please don't come to see me again today. Let me have a good rest." My eyes became dim, like a dead person. I left the cafe.

"Bing..." Vermouth couldn't help but call me. "I'm sorry..."

I didn't look back. I didn't pay attention to Vermouth's apology. I continued to walk forward. Like a puppet, I walked forward lifelessly.

I returned to my room and lay heavily on the bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. I was motionless like a dead person. I covered my eyes with one hand and held the task bar tightly with the other hand. The anger in my heart continued to rise. But I could do nothing about it.

"Ice. Has the mission been assigned?" Jingliu handed me a glass of ice water.

"Ah..." I simply responded and put away the task bar, but did not take the water from Jingliu's hand.

"What's wrong? Is the mission difficult?" Jingliu looked at me worriedly.

"...I don't know." I smiled miserably. It was the first time Jingliu saw me in such a distraught look.

"Bing... I've never seen you like this before." Jingliu frowned slightly. "What happened?"

"Sister Jingliu. I..." I turned my head to look at Jingliu. Then I turned my head away and stopped looking at her. "I feel so confused right now."

"Haha. Okay. No matter what kind of task it is, I believe it won't be difficult for you." Jingliu comforted me sweetly. "If you need it, would you like me to lend it to you?" Jingliu put down the juice, sat by the bed, and patted my shoulder with a smile.

"Sister Jingliu... Heh. Thank you." I smiled slightly when I saw Jingliu's action. I sat up and gently hugged Jingliu's body from behind. I leaned my head on her shoulder and greedily sucked the jasmine fragrance from her body. Jingliu also rubbed her jade-like cheek against me to show her comfort.

"Sister Jingliu..."

"Hmm?" Jingliu stroked my cheek and replied softly.

"It's great to have you here..." As I said that, I increased the strength of my arms, as if I wanted to merge Jingliu's entire body into my own.

"Silly..." Jingliu said softly. "I will always be by your side."

This silence lasted for a long time. It lasted until I almost forgot the existence of the mission. However, the reality is cruel. Today, I have to prepare for my mission.

"Okay, Sister Jingliu. I'm fine." I hugged Jingliu's delicate body tightly for the last time and then stood up. "I have to go and prepare for some tasks. I may not be back tonight. If Sister Jingliu is lonely, please ask Ling, Mary, and Shiho to come and chat with you tonight." I left the room with a slightly sad smile.

"Bing..." Jingliu sat alone on the bed, thinking back to my last sad smile.

After putting on my windbreaker, I took out the Renault Apline that had been parked for a long time from the base's garage. I stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the gate.

squeak. . .

As soon as I left the garage, my car stopped at the gate. A beautiful woman with long wavy blond hair stood in front of my car, blocking my way. She lowered the window and walked towards me.

"Bing.. where are you going?"

"Sister Bei, please leave me alone today." I said coldly, not even willing to look up at her.

"But...Ice you."

"Sister Bei." I interrupted Vermouth. "I will complete the task. But please give me a day of free time. I will start the task tomorrow. And I will complete the task within the agreed time. Please believe me." I tightly gripped the steering wheel. The hideous blue veins were exposed on my arms and hands.

"I'm sorry, Bing... I understand. But please bring the monitor with you tomorrow. I need to monitor the entire mission." Vermouth looked at me apologetically. She knew that I needed time.

"Haha. Is this also the order of that gentleman?" I looked at Vermouth with contempt.

“...Yes. I’m sorry.” Vermouth lowered her head, thought for a while and told me the current situation.

"Hmph." I snorted coldly. "I understand." Without looking at Vermouth, I started the car again and drove out the door.

"Bing..." Vermouth looked at Renault who was walking away. And at me who looked as pale as death, her sadness was self-evident. "Bing, don't hate me..."

After leaving the base, I drove my Renault aimlessly on the highway. The great pressure brought by the mission made me step on the accelerator more and more, and the car speeded up. In the end, there was only a blue shadow shuttling on the vast highway. I drove along the highway to a remote road. With a squeak, the car stopped. I got out of the car and walked into a small forest beside the highway. I sat under a cherry tree. Feeling the cold wind blowing, my heart also felt a knife-like pain. One hour, two hours...

A long time later. I stood up, with a hint of gray in my eyes, took out a silver mobile phone, made a call, and began to prepare for tomorrow's mission. ————The smell of orchids, the smell of lavender, the smell of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"I'm back." That night, my slightly lifeless voice echoed throughout the room.

"Welcome back, Bing. Huh? Didn't you say you wouldn't be coming back tonight?" Jingliu, who opened the door for me, looked at me with a puzzled look.

"Ah. I've made all the necessary preparations. That's why I came back early." I smiled at Shizuka. "Oh, Shiho is here too." In the room, a delicate girl with short brown hair was sitting on the sofa, quietly reading a magazine.

"What? Don't you welcome me?" Shiho looked at me playfully.

"Haha. How could that be? You're most welcome." I said lightly.

"It just so happens that the lab is not that busy today, and Sister Jingliu said she was bored without you, so I came to chat with her." Shiho said to me calmly, but her eyes never left the magazine in her hand.

"I see." I replied calmly. "By the way, what's the news about Sister Mingmei?" I sat on the sofa and asked Shiho.

"Yeah. I met my sister again a couple of days ago, and she seemed to be in good condition." Shiho replied with a smile.

"Haha. I'm glad she's okay. By the way, Sister Jingliu, please help me run a bath. I'm so tired after running all day." I said lazily.

"Yeah, okay." Then, Jingliu went straight to the bathroom. Only Shiho and I were left. Seeing Jingliu go to the bathroom, I sat on the sofa and let out a long breath. I looked at the ceiling and was absent-minded for a while.

"Bing. Have you received the mission?" Shiho, who was sitting on the sofa opposite me, put down the magazine in her hand and looked at me seriously.

"Yeah." I replied indifferently.

"Then... can't I watch it?" Shiho looked at me with a hint of doubt. I had promised Shiho a few years ago that I would report to her whenever there was a mission. Although it had been four years, she still remembered this small request.

"Haha. Shiho. I hope you don't want to watch this mission." I smiled miserably.

"Is it difficult?"

“…” I didn’t say anything.

"Then I want to see it even more." With that, Shiho stubbornly sat down next to me, and reached into my arms with her delicate hands to grope around. Finally, she took out the envelope from the inner pocket of my windbreaker.

I looked at the ceiling and did not stop Shiho, letting her tear open the envelope. Shiho took out the task sheet and just glanced at it, then her ice-blue eyes suddenly shrank. An expression of disbelief immediately appeared on her face with a hint of coldness.

"How could this happen..." Shiho's hands were shaking, and a layer of mist quickly covered her crystal-like eyes.

"That's why I don't want you to see it." I closed my eyes and a feeling of powerlessness swept over me.

"So that's why you..." Shiho frowned. I nodded weakly.

"Ice. What should I do?" Shiho panicked when she saw how powerless I was.

"What if it was you?" I asked calmly without opening my eyes. "If it was you, what would you do?"

"I... I don't know." Shiho lowered her head and didn't dare to look at me.

"hehe, me too."

"Does this mission... have to be completed?" Shiho asked with the last glimmer of hope.

"Yes. Otherwise, everyone around me will die." I reached out and ruffled Shiho's brown hair, motioning her to come closer. At this moment, tears were already falling from Shiho's eyes.

"Bing...if you really complete this task, I will hate you forever." Shiho leaned in my arms and sobbed softly. Her soft little hands tightly grasped my clothes, waiting for my answer.

"...That's better than letting you all die." After thinking for a long time, I gave Shiho this answer with a miserable smile.

Snapped! ! !
A clear voice sounded. With tears in her eyes, Shiho slapped me in anger. "Asshole! I misjudged you!" After that, Shiho left my room without looking back. I was left with my cheeks flushed, sitting helplessly on the sofa. I didn't say anything, nor did I refute. Only a slightly turbid tear flowed from my eyes as Shiho left.

I picked up the note on the ground and said with a helpless smile towards the door.

"Stupid Shiho..." My tone was very sad.

"Stupid Shiho, you have to know that the person who is most heartbroken about this mission is not you. It's me." I sat back on the sofa, my hands hanging down weakly, and on the paper wet with my tears, there were a few lines clearly written.

Assassinate the designated target. Location and method are not limited, and the time limit is one day.
