i have a date with leader jae

Shuangye's passport and luggage were properly kept in the backstage of the hospital. They were all opened and checked, and fortunately there were no missing traces.

I don't know which kind-hearted person sent them to a low-key private hospital when the accident happened last night, and even arranged for the medical expenses that Shuangye couldn't afford for the time being.

Otherwise, Yokohama's news section today may publish articles such as "Shock! A 22-year-old returning woman encountered such a thing on the roadside on the day she returned to Japan..." reported.

Shimoba had just returned to Yokohama, and she didn't want to cause such a big commotion here - her identity was not suitable for acting in the open.

Walking out of the automatic gate of the hospital, the outside world is still raining.

The young man with red copper hair took the initiative to drag the suitcase for her, and with a push of his thumb, he opened the automatic umbrella by his side.The curved umbrella surface seems to be filled with the sun and rain for a moment, and they meander down along the direction of the umbrella ribs, strung together into shining bead curtains.

"That person feels very dangerous to me. Did you know him before?"

It was not until they were away from the hospital area that Oda Saku expressed his doubts from the sidelines.

But Shuang Yeshi also noticed this, she walked slowly at this time, while secretly rubbing the five fingers of her right hand, reliving the feeling of shaking hands with that person in her heart.

Her ability, when touching the opponent, did indeed disappear——

This is the first time Shuang Ye has experienced the situation, and the result of this trial can only be pushed to the only answer: that is, he also possesses the ability, or the special high-level ability that can [nullify other people's abilities].

Shuang Ye, who judged this conclusion in a short time, couldn't help lowering her eyes thoughtfully, but soon she concealed all the thoughts that popped up in her mind, raised her eyes calmly and continued to walk forward.

"No, I don't know him."

It's useless to think so much, anyway, that person will have nothing to do with her after today.

When Odasaku heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, but thoughtfully tilted the umbrella a little more to the side.

He doesn't talk much and doesn't ask too much, which is where he is considerate enough-every time he only stands on the sidelines of reasonable boundaries and never makes decisions for others without authorization.But it is precisely this tenderness that makes Shuangye breathe every time she struggles—it seems that as long as she stays by his side, she will be accepted unconditionally.

Speaking of which, she has known this man named Sakunosuke Oda for nearly ten years.

Thinking back, before, he often took care of him, but in a blink of an eye, she became the one to be worried about.

In terms of age, Oda Sakunosuke is exactly five years older than Shimoba.When the two first met, Shimoba was nine years old, and happened to meet the 14-year-old boy Oda in a certain assassination.

In the killer world, this kind of thing often happens because the target person has too many enemies, which leads to multiple vendettas.In order to compete for the same target, killers need to seize the opportunity in the fierce competition of their peers.

But that day, they met an unexpected development.

At first, Frost Leaf made good use of flexible weapons such as piano wires. He only needed to cut the target's throat with the sharp edge of the strings. Within a few seconds, the victim would die quickly due to blood loss and respiratory tract obstruction.

But when she emerged from the shadows and took the initiative, thinking that she had scored a blood, the young killer hit the target's fatal wound with a bullet at the same time.

With a time gap of a few tenths of a millisecond, it is impossible to tell who succeeded.

Facing this kind of accident, the expressions of both of them were equally bewildered.

At a young age, Shuang Ye stood beside the corpse and said to him confidently, "My piano wire hit the target's body first, so this order is mine."

Oda Sakunosuke opened his mouth, wanting to say something.When he was a teenager, he was far more cold and dull than he is now, but under Shuangye's rather cheeky attitude, he had no choice but to restore his lifeless expression and admit it.

"……All right."

For a moment, Shuangye had the subtle mood of bullying an honest person.

But she will not soften her heart because of this. In that decadent society, even a child as young as her needs to go out to rely on handicrafts to eat. She has no extra kindness to show mercy to strangers.

Going back to the killer contracting company behind her, she guaranteed that the business completion rate of the top killer was [-]% perfect as usual, and Shuang Ye took advantage of the opportunity to open this page.

She had thought that the two of them would never meet again, but she didn't expect to meet that young killer again one day—the lover who seemed to be assassinating his wife for a cheated man.

Generally speaking, this kind of list is relatively inferior, and the remuneration is not too much, it all depends on the client's family situation.

Frost Leaf's target is also the object of the dinner party, but it is not a lover, but a corrupt government executive who has offended his superiors.After solving the target person, she was curious for a moment, so she asked Oda why he would take this kind of task.

With his strength, he should never have entered such an embarrassing situation.

And Odasaku was silent for a while, before telling her: "I didn't complete the task of the luxury house before, and the boss fired me... I couldn't find a good job."

Shuang Ye who snatched the list of the mansion followed by Silence.

Conscience suddenly began to ache.

So she said, "Why don't I treat you to a meal?"

Odasaku's tea-brown eyes seemed to be covered with mist and turned to her direction, and it was impossible to see what emotion was inside.

After a while, he nodded quietly: "Okay."

They ate a very spicy curry meal together.

Under the intentional or unintentional connivance of both parties, there are more opportunities for contact.Because of this, Shuangye also understands how inflexible the young killer himself is.

Naturally, a few words can make the boss half dead, and he has no intention of making progress. His brain circuit is strange, he is not good at communication, and he is not even angry when his order is taken away by his peers.Once, he was even tricked into going to the building by his former employer, intending to let him bear the charge of killing his boss on his behalf. As a result, he was arrested and imprisoned on the spot after taking revenge himself.

Oda Zukuo's journey as a killer has been bumpy and miserable.

But Shuangye liked the boy very much back then.

Strong, cool, handsome, and good-natured.

And like her, they are people who don't know where the meaning of life lies.Just like companions who walk in the cold in the cold, they inevitably attract each other, stick together to support each other, and snuggle for warmth.

She longed for that young man who could be said to be extremely powerful, and kept wanting to get closer to him.

But he later found the meaning of his life.

So he switched careers to writing novels, while she continued to kill.

Since that day, conflicting ideas have forced the two to run in opposite directions.

She could only lament that good luck made people fool, and then returned to the essence of loneliness, burying her head in the dark alone.

As they silently recalled the past in their minds, the two gradually drove to Odasaku's rented apartment by the sea.It is built next to the artificial slope in a semi-shady place, and it is cooler and more pleasant than other places in the rainy weather of summer.

After leaving the garage covered in moisture, they walked side by side to the roof of the apartment.The red-haired young man in a windbreaker put away his umbrella at the stairs, shook it, and a string of raindrops fell from the tip of the umbrella.

"It feels like your appearance has not changed much compared to previous years."

Oda Saku seemed to recall the past memories of the two of them, and his usual plain expression was slightly relieved.

Regarding his evaluation, Shuang Ye opened a slight arc noncommittally, but unfortunately the turning point was too subtle to convey her true emotions.

"It means that I am eternal."

"Well, you do look young and pretty."

Oda Tsukuru, who discusses things as they are, does not complain at all, and can even continue the topic as if nothing had happened: "How are you doing now?"

However, Shuangye didn't answer him in time for this question, which led to a lengthy silence between the two of them.

The sun rain falling from the sky unknowingly transitioned into dense rain.The rain mixed with the smell of sea water pattered and accumulated puddles, which spread on the ground floor of the apartment, seeping into the edges of the uppers of the two of them little by little.

The arc on the lips of the black-haired woman with a cold face has disappeared at this moment.Amidst the noisy rain, she leaned back on the porch pillar, the cold and hard metal pressed against her spine, and from time to time a slightly damp rusty smell wafted down the wind.

During the silence created by the two, she took out a cigarette case marked in Russian from her pocket, took out one of the cigarettes, put it to her lips, and lit it with a lighter.

"It's still the same as before, doing shameless dirty work—"

The smoke that filled the lungs immediately filled the narrow space.

The white cigarette hanging in the air from Frost Leaf’s fingertips curled up exuding the aftertaste of mint fragrance, and the faint orange-red sparks flickered in the rain curtain, as if it would be extinguished by the cold rain in the next second.

"Actually, you are right. I have never changed for so long. Because for so many years, I still do countless jobs as a killer. I also went to Italy to work as a mafia cadre and worked as a mercenary bodyguard in Siberia. , I dare not even tell you all the evil deeds I have done with others."

"I'm like this... Even if I still want extravagant happiness, I probably have already lost the qualifications for happiness that ordinary people can have."

Shuang Ye lowered her eyes and stared at her fingertips, her heart-piercing words seemed to be able to gurgle bright red blood, stained with a sense of instability as if she couldn't find a fulcrum to attach herself to in the world.

She didn't know why she said these words truthfully, maybe it was to test the bottom line of her indulgence in the other party's heart, or maybe it was because she didn't want to hide something from him.

I want to tell him frankly—look, I’m already so bad, you who have already stepped into the light, would you still be willing to accompany someone like me?

But at the same time, under Shuangye's seemingly calm surface, her heart is suffering, her soul is torn left and right, and she is very aware of a fact.

Just as justice can never tolerate evil.

No one can save her, not even Ah Zuo.

It's like what 'that person' said to her personally - she is doomed to go retrograde in the dark river of sin in this life.

Even if she is reluctant to admit it, if she really can't escape that person's brainwashing prophecy in the end, the result will inevitably be immersing each other in paranoia and darkness and perishing together forever. She has already prepared for it.

Oda Saku may have guessed something from her unusually calm surface, but he won't comment too much on it.

Even if they are close friends, they will rarely uncover the bone cover of each other's body recklessly, and delve deeply into the soul that is clenching its teeth.

When he just traced the appearance of Shuangye with his eyes, there seemed to be slight waves on his face.

After a while, he took the initiative to take a few steps forward as if sighing, and raised his hand when he was only about half a meter away.There seemed to be some hesitation at the moment when she raised it, but in the end the palm still lightly landed on the top of her head, and she rubbed it lovingly for a few seconds.

The gentle and stable palm was dry and slightly rough, covered with finger calluses from holding the gun all year round, but it brought a little bit of warmth.

"Thanks a lot."

It has nothing to do with the confrontation of positions and ideas, nor with rational considerations. It is just a sentence of emotion starting from his own emotions.

Shuang Ye raised her eyes in a daze when she heard the words, and before she had time to react, she saw that the young man in front of her seemed to think of something after she finished speaking, and then rubbed her chin to think about an extremely real question——

"However, if you work part-time frequently, your salary will not be stable... Can you have enough to eat?"

At this moment, he looked at Shuangye seriously: "If you have difficulties in life, you can temporarily stay at my house for a while, and you don't have to worry too much about money and food problems."

The young man's deep and gentle voice came into his ears, and Shuangye's emotions seemed to be stirred up in a flash.

It wasn't until a long while before she got out of that absent-minded state.

Shuang Ye stared at this thought and easily diverted to other channels, did not mention her bad past at all, and said that she would take her in for a long time, a reliable adult man, and moved her lip line slightly for a moment.

"...You are too cured, brother Zuo!"

"There is nothing for a 27-year-old man to heal..."

Oda Saku paused after finishing speaking, and then added bluntly: "But it's fine if you like it, Sister Shuang."
