Angel Son of Tomorrow's Ark

Qingjin Monique's eyelashes trembled, and she began to regain consciousness.

She didn't open her eyes, and even her breathing rate hardly changed. She was really more alert than a leopard cat in the wilderness.

But even if his ability is weaker than hers, Bai Jin has been working in the Wuzhou League for several years anyway, so it's not like he didn't notice this.

She who stayed by the bed all the time said:

"Now that you're awake, let's talk a little bit. At least for now, I'll try my best to convince the boss that I won't torture you."

Monique: "... [Boss], what?"

Qing Jin sighed slightly as if giving up, and opened her eyes.

She felt that most of her body consciousness was lost, probably due to the effect of anesthesia.

After turning her eyes slightly, she found that her whole body was tied up with the hospital bed, and she couldn't move a single joint.

It's tied really well... Monique admires it a bit, it's definitely professional.

Monique also noticed that her field of vision was only half, so she asked in a hoarse voice:

"Is my left eye blind?"

Platinum shook his head: "No. It's just a scratch, covered with gauze. Other than that, it's not disfigured. You're lucky."

Miss Platinum crossed her legs on the side of the bed, it was the first time she was so condescending, looking at her former boss.

Before, I thought this woman was a monster.

Every time I see her, it's like seeing a tigress, scaring Bai Jinjin into goosebumps.

But now, this woman is covered in bandages and plaster, and her moving parts are also tied up with restraint belts. I don't know whether to call it miserable or funny.

Platinum thought he could laugh at her, but found that he still couldn't.

Monique didn't say much either, she was not a talkative person.

So even though her body was very weak and she struggled to move her lips, she still asked some key questions:

"How long have I been lying down?"

Platinum: "One and a half days, now is the second night after you were blown up. I spent a lot of effort to dig you out of the rubble. You are lucky that you didn't get crushed into meat paste. "

"Huh...not luck."

Even in this situation, Monique still looks full of arrogance, like a cat owner with her chin raised:

"It was the angelic woman who deliberately spared my life. I was not directly hit by the bomb, so when the building collapsed, I was able to avoid it a little bit."

Platinum: "Hey... I thought you would brag about your own strength. In the end, you said others confidently."

Monique: "You have to be able to grasp the way of life left by others. If you were me, at least one leg would have to be abolished, Xinteliya."

Platinum's answer was a bit provocative, and Monique returned it with ten times more provocation, leaving Miss Platinum with a deflated face again.

But because the difference in strength exists objectively, sister Platinum can only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and by the way, picks up the apple on the bedside table and gnaws on it.

Monique didn't expect her to feed him apples.

After slowing down for a while and accumulating some strength to speak, Monique continued to ask:

"Why don't you kill me. If you want to ask something from me, I'm sorry, I have nothing to say."

Bai Jin frowned: "Is it because of his loyalty to Xuan Tie? Or is he afraid of being killed by them?"

"neither."

Monique chuckled lightly:

"It's just because I don't know much more than you. Even if I know more, it must have been overthrown by Xuan Tie and the others from the moment I was arrested. Even if I tell all I know, You can't use it, and you will still anger me in the end."

"...You really think us too badly. Can't you thank us for saving you first, and then return you to such a high-class room?"

Platinum puffed up a little angrily, and the horse's ears were rolled back.

Qing Jin silently watched Platinum's reaction, and was silent for a while.

Platinum may not have noticed it herself, she said the word "we", and now she speaks it very fluently.

In less than a month, Platinum has gone from being a captured assassin to being able to say "we" naturally, which still opened Monique's eyes.

"...Nah."

When Monique had already closed her eyes to rest and didn't want to say anything, Platinum took the initiative to speak.

She bent one leg and hugged it to her chest, looking at Monique with some distrust:

"At that time, you shot at Miss Portofino...the angel, right?"

"Why? You should kill me first. At that time, I didn't realize your position at all. If your first arrow shot at me, Miss Portofino might not be able to react... ..."

Before Platinum could finish asking, Monique closed her eyes and answered:

"Because I didn't pay attention to you. I want to kill you, any time. So the most sure first arrow, I give priority to the more threatening target. That's all."

"...You man..."

The Platinum sister who was dissed again had a bitter expression on her face, her plump ponytail swayed wildly, and she was very angry.

...However, this gas is only a little bit.

Platinum is also a killer.

No matter how much Monique looks down on her, her ability is also here. She is a hundred kingslayers stronger than ordinary knife runners.

So Platinum knew very well that Monique's reason for not attacking her was definitely not as simple as she said.

Perhaps it was infected by Luo Zhen, other possibilities that Bai Jin could think of seemed a bit naive, and she didn't want to admit it.

But seeing that she didn't ask, Monique had no intention of telling the truth at all.

So Platinum had no choice but to hold back his shame, and took the initiative to say:

"At that time, you just didn't want to kill me, right?...The reason for attacking Portofino was to give me a chance to escape, right?"

"..."

Monique replied in silence, unwilling to admit it.

Since the failure of the mission, Platinum has never contacted the Wuzhou League again.

They can only guess what she has experienced through her actions after Platinum.

From Monique's point of view, the Platinum Mission failed and was captured. After a few weeks, he returned to the arena as their knight, and was led around by the Rose Knights.

Everyone knows it on their knees, Platinum must have betrayed, and of course Monique knows it too.

...But, is there a possibility.

Platinum surrendered to the enemy for his life, and lived under surveillance all the time, without the ability to resist.

Then if the watchers around her are killed, even if there is only a short gap, she might be able to escape.

...This conjecture is too naive to say, and it is completely one-sided conjecture.

Let alone a killer who takes money to do things, even a companion with a deep friendship probably wouldn't bet on such a small probability.

But Platinum really couldn't think of any other possibility, otherwise there would be no way to explain Monique's unbelievable behavior, and what he did was not professional at all.

Amidst the inorganic sounds of medical equipment, Monique's voice seemed weak and ethereal...but it was a little more human out of thin air:

"I envy you, that's all."

"......What's the meaning?"

Platinum raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise.

Monique took a deep breath and sighed softly:

"I used to be a soldier in Victoria, you know."

Hmm... Platinum nodded.

Qing Jin continued:

"In Victoria, if a civilian wants to get ahead, the most practical solution is to join the army. But my original family is very poor, and I have many brothers and sisters. I don't even have the qualifications to go to a rural school, let alone a military academy..... .”

Platinum: "Puchi~...This is the first time I've heard someone use the word [native family] to describe themselves..."

Although he knew it was bad, Bai Jin couldn't help laughing out loud, and couldn't stop shaking his shoulders for a while.

This made Monique couldn't help but stare at her, and frowned because of the pain in the wound, and was very angry at this scumbag woman.

After Bai Jin managed to recover, Qing Jin hummed and continued:

"I lied about my age and joined the army in order to make a clean break with Yuanyuan...and my hometown. I swear that I will become famous and rich, and I will never return to that stinky ditch in my life. gone."

"So I worked very hard, and I did very well. My self-confidence is stronger than all the contemporaries, and even stronger than the group of little nobles who graduated from the non-commissioned officer school... But in the end, I was able to obtain the military rank There are only nobles, and followers who beg for pity on nobles. A prick like me will either die in an unreasonable task, or get a pitifully small severance pay, and just get out of here."

Platinum: "...This is also a common thing. I also thought about joining the army when I graduated. If I did, I would probably experience the same thing as you."

Platinum looked away pessimistically, and had no hope for his own Casimir's army.

After all, these days, although Casimir's army is still under the control of the Prison Court, their salaries still have to be allocated in the National Assembly.

I heard that the past few years have been difficult even for knights, let alone low-level soldiers.

Qing Jin is noncommittal about this, and it can be regarded as an admission.

She just went on:

"So, I planned to steal a fortune from the domineering noble boss and escape from the army. I joined the squad that has been with me for several years, and all of them are my hand-picked cronies."

"We made an appointment to take the money and sell the stolen goods, and then go to other countries to start a company, and we will do business together. One of the boys showed us pictures of his sister all day long. It was so annoying."

Platinum: "...then, they died?"

Platinum's eyebrows were slightly lowered, and her small face was resting on her knees.

This kind of story is also similar with minor differences. Looking at the current situation, one can roughly guess the ending at that time.

Qing Jin closed his eyes again:

"The night before the agreed action, I saw my most trusted subordinate... that Pegasus horse with good legs, together with that noble waste, entered the bedroom."

"Then, as you said, all my team members died. Thanks to that shameless woman, I escaped from the barracks in embarrassment and became a penniless wanted criminal."

Wow, how miserable... Platinum couldn't say anything.
