The Fire Chaser of the Collapsing World

"Thank you."

"Don't be in a hurry, Dr. Mei, you have to be responsible for all the possible consequences of the operation—we Seele, or our coalition government, have no knowledge of what happened today."

[.01], or Secretary-General Kiel's low voice kept echoing.

If his words had meaning, May didn't care anymore.

She responded with an equally meaningful statement:

"I will take full responsibility."

Chapter 12 This is the last time

Among the ruins in the coastal area of ​​Attica, Anna glanced at her watch with the new sunshine—it was 42:[-] in the morning.

"Damn————————————————————————"

Cosmo knocked on the stone slab under him angrily, one time, one time, and another time, until he was exhausted, until his fists were covered with blood and flesh, until the cries under the stone slab became weaker and weaker...

Then one drop, two drops, three drops...

There were a few darker dots on the slate, and Cosmo pursed his lips silently, the bitter taste was continuously amplified by the tip of his tongue.

Xi'er silently supported his shoulders, but he lowered his head further, as if he was afraid that others would see him crying.

Anna straightened up, glanced at her own hands that were also made of flesh and blood, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Also injured, Cosmo just wanted to save a stranger who had nothing to do with him, and she had never even met him, but she was doing it for...for Cosmo?

The original indescribable emotion had dissipated, and she couldn't explain why she ran back to find Cosmo at that time?

He is indeed just a "tool man". Under rational analysis, there is no essential difference between him and those "colleagues" who died in her hands. They are just the resources she needs to use to complete the task.

Is it just because of his sense of justice that belongs only to teenagers?

No, no, what kind of weird thing is that, how could she, a senior agent, almost sacrifice herself for such a mere reason...

Or was it just because he called himself sister?

She looked coldly at Cosmo, who was powerless and kneeling on the ground, as if she saw a shadowy figure in her memory. She was so young and so powerless...

"Card……"

She clenched her teeth tightly, lowered her head, and her long hair spread out, covering her gradually ferocious expression.

After a while, when she raised her head again, a gentle smile appeared on her face again.

Sensing Xier's eyes on her, Anna turned her head, and their eyes met inadvertently.

Xi'er's eyes trembled, and she silently looked away, not daring to meet Anna's gaze.

It's not that there is something wrong with the other party's expression, the eyes are soft and clear, and you can even see Xi'er's own reflection in them.But she instinctively felt something was wrong—it seemed that something was missing, so that it seemed too deliberate.

"What's missing..."

Sad!

Yes, it is sad!And fear!And a lot of responsible emotions!

When facing such a cruel disaster, how can a normal person erase all emotions except tenderness from his eyes?

This "investigator" sister has a problem!

As soon as Xi'er stood up, she staggered and took a step back.She also couldn't tell whether this retreat was due to fear/distrust of Anna, or simply because her legs were numb from kneeling in the ruins...

"Cosmo..."

"Anna... sister..."

"Let's go, I have to take you to a safe place quickly. The people under the ruins will be dealt with by the coalition government's rescue team."

"but……"

Cosmo stared at his feet unwillingly, and could still hear faint sobbing through a stone slab.

"But if we don't go, we will become such monsters!"

Cosmo and Xier looked in the direction of her finger, and saw a pile of flesh that could barely be called "human" wriggling on the ground.

Its lower body had disappeared, and its internal organs, blood, and soil were mixed together, dragging a long trail behind it.

But it is indeed "alive" in a sense, even if it rolls its eyes white, even if it trembles and opens its mouth, revealing a mouthful of broken teeth, and roaring like a beast...

"Woo... vomit!"

Cosmo could still bear it. After all, although the scene was terrifying, the smell of blood was far away after all, and he was not a young bird who had never seen a corpse.

But Xier opened her head, which directly brought about a chain reaction. Once she bent down, she immediately vomited.

Anna could only hold the hands of the two of them, half dragging and half dragging them forcefully through the ruins.

There was almost no complete house to be found in the entire seaside area, and Cosmo couldn't recognize the streets he thought he was familiar with. He just walked quickly with Anna numbly and weakly, and occasionally helped Xi'er who seemed to be struggling.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Xier seemed to be watching him all the time.

She blinked at him, and then at Anna, which made Cosmo a little confused.

【What does she want to express to me?Is it related to Sister Anna? 】

Between Xier and Anna, Cosmo undoubtedly believed in Anna more, no, absolutely believed in Anna.

After all, if the pink-haired sister hadn't arrived in time, Anna would have exchanged her death for his life.

So of course he... should trust her...

But Xier's rapid blinking and nervous expression made him suddenly realize one thing - did he really know Anna very well?

She didn't even tell herself her full name, her age...

He seems to only know her mission.

That's right, the task...

Before the identity of "sister", Anna was an investigator...or, to put it in a more civilian tone-a secret agent/spy.

Once doubt exists, it cannot be eliminated, it will only continue to grow, widening the gap between people.

So he inadvertently slowed down, and at the same time asked seemingly casually:

"Sister Anna, are we going to the airport?"

Near the airport, there are a small number of coalition government garrisons, offices of the coalition government, airport staff and housing complexes for some grassroots officials of the coalition government.

If Anna was an investigator of the coalition government, she would naturally be more inclined to lead them there.

"Ah! Ah - that's right, go to the airport. In this way, even if the battle expands, we can evacuate as soon as possible... What's wrong?"

Cosmo stopped stiffly, shook off Anna's hand, and pulled Xier over to protect him behind him.

"you're lying!"

The boy's voice was extremely excited, full of anger and puzzlement, his fingers tremblingly pointing to the rising sun behind him——

"The airport is in the northeast of Binhai District, you are leading us west...

"Anna! Why are you lying to me!"

Anatya sighed, she closed her eyes first, and tried to say some justification...

After all, there are still defensible points, for example, she is a road idiot, for example, she can't tell the direction, for example, she was nervous and went wrong...

But... All excuses are deceit in the end, and she is very clear that it is a lie, and once a lie appears, it will definitely be exposed.

Especially under the bright morning light, it seems to wash away all the darkness in the world.

Besides... her companion has arrived, and there is no need to cheat anymore.

Cosmo's body froze instantly, and he was no stranger to a cold and hard touch from the back of his head—it was the muzzle of a gun...

"what!"

"Ciel!"

A pair of black hands snatched Xier from Cosmo, and at the same time, a deep voice sounded behind him:

"Don't move! Alright, Lyudashka, your mission is complete, I took this girl away...how to deal with this boy? You can decide for yourself."

Anna readily took out a pistol from her pocket, loaded it, and aimed it at Cosmo's forehead.

Seeing this, the man in black skillfully stuffed the cloth ball into Xier's mouth, dragged her with one hand, and left without looking back.

"Why, Anna... sister, why!"

"Because..." Anna bit her lip, a complex look flashed in her eyes:

"Because I am Lyudashka Schenetsvna, an orphan adopted by Mrs. Lichtenstein, and the dark child who was shot into the poisonous chrysalis."

"Is that so... It turns out that even the name Anna is fake... It's all fake—"

"boom!"

Kos turned his head in a daze, and the man in black who also turned around was holding his heart in disbelief, where there was another small hole that was oozing blood.

"Lyudashka! What do you mean!"

When Anna closed her eyes, she changed back to a cold expression again:

"I'm sorry, Trofen Schneidswitch..."

"You...why...could it be...you have other..."

"boom!"

Troffin's head exploded like a watermelon, and his words disappeared.

Anna didn't speak, but was silent for a while in front of the corpse of her "companion".

She tried to get close to Xier, but Xier, who was collapsed on the ground, avoided her with hands and feet.

She turned to look at Cosmo again, but Cosmo also took two steps back, pulling away from her.

Anna smiled sadly, and many memories washed her brain over and over again, until finally she stopped at Cosmo's "sister".

She smiled and took steps towards Cosmo, but what she got in return was the terrified eyes of the young man and the constant retreat.

"Cosmo, actually..."

[My name is Anna. When I infiltrated the coalition government for the first time, I was instigated, and my task was to reversely monitor the actions of the Lichtenstein family. 】

She wanted to speak out, to tell Cosmo that she wasn't a "bad guy".

But no, I can't say it, because she fired that shot not out of kindness, but just because of the mission.

"Uh!"

She suddenly covered her heart, her vision became blurry for some reason, she lowered her head to look at her palm, and she could see the blue frost covering the entire palm in a haze.

【what happened……】

Consciousness blurred at the same time, and she couldn't even think about where and when the pain all over her body came from.

【who I am?Where am I?What am I going to do? 】

She didn't know it - as she always did.

Switching between countless identities, killing countless people, she doesn't even know who she is anymore.

The only thing she can do is to complete the missions of each of her identities, which is why she brought Xier to her "companion", but why did she kill her with another identity after one mission is completed? kill.

So the person who killed so many people couldn't possibly be a "bad guy", right?

Thoughts of regret filled her brain in an instant, and she suddenly thought of a possibility—if, if her identity hadn't been reversed in the end, if she had indeed completed the task of her last layer of identity, she would fire the gun again, Does it mean that she finally has "goodness"?

It's a pity...it's a pity...

Do not!

It suddenly occurred to her that she still had another identity and a task waiting for her to complete!

It was given by herself, it was given by the boy...

elder sister……

[The last time, the last time, just the last time...]
