retired from port today

I stood at the door of the bathroom, tapped the number on the phone with trembling fingers, and after a while the music started to play, but I hung up automatically because no one answered for a long time.

"...Please leave a message after the beep." The familiar female voice on the phone said.

For some reason, the thought of 'fortunately he didn't pick up' came to my mind, maybe it was a fluke.

"Is it Dad? I'm Chiba. I have something to ask you about my biological parents. If you hear the message, please reply in time."

I breathed a sigh of relief and washed my face before I had the courage to go back to my seat.

There were only three people in the seat, and I looked at Shi Shu suspiciously: "Huh? Where's Mr. Zhongyuan?"

Shi Shu said helplessly: "He said he was going back to report on the mission, and that the failure of the mission this time would be blamed on us. Really, please forgive me, I don't want to be scolded by Brother Kusanagi again."

The corner of my mouth twitched: "Originally we just wanted that pile of goods, who asked you to burn the warehouse, and the leader will not let you go now."

"It's us!" Shi Shu corrected with a smile: "How can Chiba-chan be part of us, and I didn't want to burn down the warehouse in the past, and it wasn't because of..."

He gave me a look, and I looked at the culprit this time knowingly, still looking very lazy.

"By the way, there is also something about this life experience. I was embarrassed to say it just because Mr. Zhongyuan was here, but Chiba-chan, you lied, right?" Shi Beam's sharp eyes pierced my lie.

I uncomfortably adjusted my posture on the seat and took a sip of the drink on the table: "Why did you say that, I was just telling the truth."

Ten beams smiled triumphantly: "No one can hide it from me. Although you may not have lied, at least you are not telling the truth."

Speaking of this, he changed his voice and said in a gentle tone: "If you have anything, you can discuss it with us. After all, you can also treat the people in the red group as your family."

He saw that I was very uncomfortable about confessing, but he didn't force me.

Maybe there are some topics that are difficult to talk about for people who are too familiar with them, but that night, the gentle eyes of the man and the smoke in the bar made me unconsciously let go of my guard and wanted to say what was in my heart.

Tell the truth to someone you don't know well enough but enough to be friends so you don't feel guilty.

I leaned on the cushion at the back, looking helplessly at ten bunches of curious eyes: "You are not handsome at all, I will tell Brother Kusanagi about it when I get back."

Clearing my throat, I finally said the past that I had hidden for a long time: "Actually, I was not adopted by someone, but by an organization. They gave me the name Chiba until I was 10 years old."

Chiba was still a child that year. Although she was raised by the black organization, she had more contact with Belmode, who was more like a mother to her.

She has no impression of her parents at all, because she was picked up not long after she was born. Later, Belmode kindly told her about her parents' cemetery, and she would go to visit it when she was free.

She was very different back then, with her silvery hair and cold purple eyes her trademark.

The most she said to Gin was: "This can't be done well, I'd better kill you."

The young Qin Jiu was often frightened and trembled, because she really exuded killing intent.

That day, she was in a bad mood and was about to go to the cemetery. When she arrived, there was already a man there. He put down white sacrificial flowers in front of the tomb, with a sad expression on his face, and he seemed to be praying with his hands together.

Little Chiba frowned, walked over, and said in a childish voice, "Hey, take your flowers away."

She walked over and threw the other party's flower into the man's arms, and gently placed the yellow tulip in her hand on the ground: "They don't like such plain flowers."

The man looked at the short girl in surprise: "You..."

The girl squatted in front of the tombstone without turning her face back: "Let's go if you have nothing to do, it will rain soon."

The man said: "How can it rain on such a sunny day?"

The girl sneered: "Because I'm here."

Yes, every time she comes here, there will be a heavy rain.

Maybe God feels sad.

The man shook his head, thinking it was just a child's nonsense, but he was very interested in this very mature child: "My name is Rintaro Hyuga, what's your name, kid?"

The girl frowned and looked back at him: "Don't you understand? Tell you to go quickly, you will die if you stay here."

These words were not threats. Many ordinary people around her died inexplicably, so she thought that someone must be watching her now.

Rintaro still had a good temper. Seeing that the other party was about to lose his temper, he hurriedly surrendered: "I know! Then I'll go first."

But the hundred flowers in his hand were left in place.

Chiba didn't care about the flower any more.

But after a while, when she walked out of the cemetery, she saw a familiar person: "Why are you again?"

The man said hello and said with a smile: "You haven't told me your name yet. I'm a friend of the Himi couple. Today is their death day, so I came here to pay homage to them. But I haven't met you, so you can chat with me. chat?"

Chiba felt bothered and moved a little at the same time.

"This is not a place. After an hour, you go to this place and wait for me." Saying this, Chiba passed a small note from her hand, which was the name of a nearby cafe.

An hour later, after throwing off the pursuers, she finally arrived at the cafe.

"You mean I still have a younger sister?" Chiba frowned at the other party, if she hadn't seen the photo of her parents, she would never have believed what the other party said.

Lin Taro was full of guilt: "Yes, it is my adopted daughter. You were born on the same day, but your parents were separated because of an accident."

"You're lying to me, since we were born on the same day, why are we separated?"

The man looked down at her with a sad expression: "That's because they were killed on the way back to pick up your sister."

Chiba had an ominous premonition: "By whom?"

"Black Organization."

The little girl's face turned pale in an instant: "Impossible!"

"Maybe you don't know, Bingjian and they are members of the organization and have been working for the organization. I have been their good friend for many years. They have expected such a day a long time ago, so please ask me very early. take care of their children."

"It's just that I didn't expect that they died not long after you were born."

Speaking of this, Xiao Qianye has actually believed most of it, but no matter what, she will definitely check this matter herself when she goes back.

"Your parents were killed by the Black Organization."
