Byron's Blade

"Don't...I won't go...You can't do this, no!"

With a scream, Qiu Zheng woke up from the nightmare, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and he felt as if he had been fished out of the water.Immediately, all the cells in her body protested against her, her face turned pale from the pain, and she couldn't help moaning/groaning in pain.

"Little lunatic, you're awake." A playful female voice sounded above his head, Qiu Zheng opened his eyes, and his eyes slowly focused.A beautiful and enchanting woman in a white coat was looking at her with a smile.

"Elder Sister..." she said weakly, closing her eyes tiredly.She knew that she should be in the infirmary of the headquarters now, which was the territory of her elder sister Alita Smith.

"Yes, you still recognize me, which proves that your brain is not burned out." Alita said.

Qiu Zheng sighed.

"I injected you with a sedative, and the effect of the medicine is almost over. By the way, I forgot to tell you, your spine is contused, your limbs are dislocated and swollen to varying degrees, and you have three gunshot wounds. This fight is really enough It hurts."

Qiu Zheng was very depressed, because she didn't have no memory of what happened.On the contrary, she remembered everything clearly, including the picture of herself being knocked to the ground by Mu Li.

"Look at the beautiful woman lying next to you, she almost couldn't come back, she was killed by you." Alita continued to make trouble, Qiu Zheng turned her head, her eyes fell on He Yingning who was lying quietly on the bed next door, her heart grew more and more The more depressed I feel, the more pain I feel.

"How is she? Didn't she die?" Qiu Zheng asked, she still remembered that He Yingning was shot, very close to the heart, and the treatment time delayed by her madness was likely to be fatal, and she also regretted it very much at this moment.It's just that this disease is beyond her control, and she is very helpless.

"I'm not dead, otherwise how could I still be lying in my infirmary. I never leave dead people here. You should thank Xiao Mumu, he not only saved your life, but also saved your sweetheart."

"What sweetheart... hiss..." Qiu Zheng hurriedly retorted, but the wound was involved, and he gasped in pain.

"Hey, you are still stubborn, you are crazy about this beautiful woman, does anyone know?" Alita smiled and teased Qiu Zheng, she was really happy.

"I'm not... going crazy because of her." Qiu Zheng was very depressed, but she was bullied by Alita since she was a child, so that she developed the habit of being powerless in front of her.

But soon someone came to rescue her.The door of the infirmary opened, and Joan, Lin Zhao, and Zooey all rushed in.As soon as Zooey came in, she exaggeratedly cried:

"Boss! Boss, you died so badly!"

"Get out!" Qiu Zhenghen couldn't spring up from the bed and cut her neck off.

Lin Zhao maintained her paralyzed posture, and said in a straightforward tone:

"Boss, I made big bone broth, which is very nourishing, and I'll bring it to you later."

Xiao Zhao is still cute, and Qiu Zheng's heart warms up.Then she turned to Joan and asked;

"Where's the shepherd? Where did this guy go?"

Joan didn't know what her boss was looking for Mu Li, but seeing that her face was not angry and her tone was normal, she replied:

"The teacher asked her to have something to do with Miss Lani, and she should be following the teacher right now."

"Let me ask you, did someone take a picture of me fighting with her?" Qiu Zheng asked with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"No, it was chaotic at that time. Who would have the time to take a video. But I don't know if there are any on the military and police side." Joan replied.

"I've given you a task. Help me check to see if there is any video from the military and police, and delete it if there is any. I declare in advance that this is for the organization's internal secrets." Chou Zheng said righteously.

"Oh, I see." Joan replied, but she really wanted to laugh in her heart, the arrogant boss is really cute.

Zoe, who was not upright and always liked to make jokes, became strangely quiet at this moment.Just as Qiu Zheng felt something was wrong, he saw her rushing to He Yingning's bedside, and said in an intoxicated tone:

"Oh my god, isn't this my angel goddess, she looks so beautiful when she sleeps."

Seeing that Qiu Zheng's face was darkened, Joan immediately held Zooey very discerningly, and dragged her to the door. While dragging, she shouted loudly to cover up Zooey's struggle:

"Boss, we're going out first, so we won't disturb your rest. Senior sister, goodbye."

Alita, who had been silent all this time, waved to her with a smile, and Joan dragged Zoe out who was howling.Seeing this, Lin Zhao didn't stay any longer, nodded to Qiu Zheng and Alita respectively, and finally left the infirmary.

There was a bewildering silence in the infirmary, and after a while, Alita suddenly said with a smile:

"And you said he wasn't your sweetheart?"

"Shut up." Chou Zheng swore that when she got well, the first thing she would do would be to get rid of that damned Zoe.

***

Just when the infirmary was "joyful", the atmosphere in the underground prison of Assassin's headquarters was a bit condensed and depressing.The underground prison was transformed from the underground garage of the original hotel. There are more than [-] prison cells, large and small.Mu Li and Lan Ni are standing side by side with the leader Hermit at the door of a cell.

Mu Li's face was very gloomy, while Lan Ni's face was expressionless, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.The Chuzhong mercenary they captured was held in the cell, but it wasn't the mercenary that made the atmosphere condensed and depressed, but the man who came out of the cell after carrying the mercenary and was locking the door.

Young face, burly body, but the face is no longer immature and stunned, only mature and serious.This man was Roger Schneider, the first person Mu Li saw when he came to this world.

Mu Li once wanted to ask him many, many things, but now seeing him again, he didn't know where to start, so he could only remain silent.

Rogge locked the door, turned sideways to face the hermit and said:

"The matter of the interrogation is left to me, and I think there will be a result soon."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Immediately, the hermit glanced at Mu Li lightly, then turned his head to greet Rogge and said:

"You all come with me, we go to the office to talk."

On the way to the office, the hermit walked ahead, and said to Mu Li and Lan Ni in a natural and gentle tone:

"Meet Rogge again, I think it is necessary for me to introduce him to you again. He is one of the two vice presidents of our Assassins, and he is my most capable partner and best friend. He is in charge of planning in the organization , Interrogate the two majors. Although he looks like he is in his early 20s, he is actually forty this year."

Forty... Mu Li thought she would be surprised, but in fact she was not surprised at all.Lannie should be like her, they all expected this, especially after going through the madness of feud.As for the title of "Vice President" mentioned by the hermit, this involves the structure of the Assassin organization.

Regarding this point, Mu Li and Lan Ni already knew something from the first day they joined the organization.

The first is the leader hermit, she also has many titles, such as: president, chief captain, great teacher, boss and so on.Among them, "President" is the most formal title, because the full name of the Assassin organization is the Assassin Freedom Association.

The entire Assassin Freedom Alliance is divided into five major departments, namely planning, command, arming, interrogation, and logistics.Among them, the planning and interrogation department is in charge of the vice-chairman Roger Schneider, and the armed forces and logistics are in charge of another vice-chairman, Alita Smith.The command is directly led by the hermit, and there are no members who belong to the command alone. All Assassin members who have the title of commander in the organization are actually subordinate to the command, which is divided into two levels: commander and senior commander .These commanders will call the Hermit "Great Teacher", because once they become the commander of the Assassin, it means that they have entered the hermit's school and become a student of the Hermit, and they will learn the art of military command from the Hermit from then on.

Each of the five major departments is divided into several brigades. Taking the Armed Forces Department as an example, it is divided into three brigades, the assault brigade, the backbone brigade, and the assassination brigade.Qiu Zheng is the captain of the assault brigade, one of Assassin's senior commanders, second only to the vice president.Don't look at Lin Zhao always fighting with Qiu and calling her the boss. In fact, the status of the two in the organization is equal, and Lin Zhao is the captain of the assassination team.Also because of the grading of the brigade, the hermit has an additional title of "chief captain".

It is worth mentioning that Joan Bush is the captain of the Intelligence Brigade of the Logistics Department.Zoe is the vice-captain of the storming brigade. Although she never does her job properly, she still has skills. Even so, she is still the lowest-ranking member in the group of four.

There are many Assassin members in each brigade, and they are basically classified into three types: ordinary members, commanders and high-ranking commanders. They wear different badges to symbolize their status.In addition to the members who are stationed at the headquarters, some members have serious occupations in society and will only show up when they are on missions; some even hide in the enemy camp and have been working as undercover agents.The identities of the members of the organization are complex, involving all walks of life, and spread throughout the Federation.

Whenever a mission is to be dispatched, the general headquarters will transfer members from each brigade to form an action team. Different actions have different code names.For example, Qiu Zheng and the others' mission to rescue Mu Li was code-named "Golden Cicada", with the highest level of "Red Level", and the name of the operation team was "Golden Cicada Red Group".According to different tasks, some action team members have been fixed, while others are changing at any time.

Mu Li and Lan Ni have now officially joined Assassin.Mu Li was assigned to the assassination brigade of the Armed Forces, and his position was high-ranking commander, deputy brigade captain, temporarily subservient to Lin Zhao.Lan Ni is much stronger than Mu Li. She parachuted to become the second-in-command of the planning department, and at the same time became the only high-ranking commander who was subordinate to the headquarters alone. long.

In fact, according to her status as the eldest lady, this is also as it should be.Although Assassin is an organization advocating freedom and democracy, it is also a disciplined armed organization, otherwise it would not have grown to this point.A person's identity, status, ability, and influence mean how much help he can bring to the organization, so it is reasonable to give corresponding status and treatment.

However, the members of the organization do not have such a strict hierarchy when they get along with each other on weekdays. We are all brothers and sisters, and self-willed and overly arrogant people will not stay in the organization for long.

"Plan A, I'm really flattered that the two Assassin's vice presidents jointly planned and personally implemented it." After the group sat down on the reception sofa in the leader's office, Mu Li looked at Rogge and the hermit, sarcastically Said.

"I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just hope you can understand." Rogge said sincerely, not caring about Mu Li's sarcasm.

"Of course I understand, and I don't blame you. I just want to know why you are helping General Friesman so much, and what benefits he has given you." When Mu Li asked this, she was obviously emotional. She couldn't let go of the various concealments and deceptions that General Friesman had done to her, which caused her great harm.

"He didn't give us any benefits, we just have the same goals and ideals, we are comrades on the same road." Rogge replied.

Mu Li didn't speak, but lowered his head.In fact, she had already expected the answer, and the reason why she asked was just to vent her emotions.From the moment she opened her eyes in this world, she has been being deceived.It was Rogge who started this, so when she saw Rogge, the resentment in her heart overflowed to the extreme.

However, Mu Li now feels that the deception may have started earlier, and there is a doubt that has been lingering in her heart. She doesn't know who to ask, or even whether she should ask.But as more and more things have been experienced, this feeling has become more and more intense, and it has become impossible to ignore.

She felt that the fact that she traveled through itself was not a real thing.The memories in her brain were not her own, perhaps tampered with.This crazy idea made her feel very insecure, as if everything was false, she was living in an unreal world, and she didn't know what to believe.

She intuitively felt that the three people sitting next to her, the Hermit, Rogge and Lanny, might all know the answer to her doubt, but no one mentioned it, so she didn't mention it, maybe it's not the time yet, Even if she asks, she won't get an answer. She is waiting for a more appropriate and mature time.

"Mu Li, Lan Ni, take a day off tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, you will follow Alita to the Oriental Sanatorium in the south of the city, where you can meet your two old friends. It just so happens that they were discharged from the hospital together that day, so you go and bring them back Come to the headquarters." The hermit changed the topic, and assigned new tasks to Mu Li and Lan Ni.

Mu Li and Lan Ni glanced at each other, both of them seemed to have already guessed who the so-called "old friend" was.Mu Li's throat twitched, sadness and guilt flashed across his eyes, he silently lowered his head.Lan Ni reached out to hold her wrist, smiled at her, and said nothing.

The hermit stood up, patted Mu Li on the shoulder, and said:

"Go and rest."

He took Roger and left the office first.
