Chapter 22 We Need 'Shells' Layer by Layer

The latest website: The detention room is less than three square meters. Except for a toilet, there are no furnishings or windows. The only door is cast iron, and there is a food delivery port below, which is also tightly closed at this moment. .

Darkness is the color of the prison room.

Silence is the accompaniment in the prison room.

Edmond sat on the ground in handcuffs.

Edmond is no stranger to this place.

Some special D-class personnel who are about to be executed will always appear here.

It's just that he didn't think that he would appear here one day.

Ugh.

Sighing slightly, in the darkness, I couldn't see Edmond's expression.

But the sigh said it all.

"I couldn't hold back."

"Obviously I want to eat and wait until I retire...Why am I so impulsive?"

"Pity me, I still have a mortgage for twenty-nine years and eleven months."

Edmond couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that his house was going to be confiscated by the bank and put up for auction, and the down payment and one month's loan repayment he had paid before were completely in vain.

Especially when he thought of how he had been saving money for the past ten years by putting together a down payment to buy a house, he couldn't help sobbing.

He is distressed.

However, he has no real regrets.

Some things, just like this, are dismissed on the lips, but they are actually rooted in the heart and can never be forgotten.

Edmond knew very well that he would still do it even if he did it again.

Getting older and getting older, ideals are getting farther and farther, but...the blood is not cold.

He could feel his heartbeat as he breathed.

every time,

All powerful.

He also knew what was about to happen to him.

There is a price to be paid for doing arbitrary things.

This is the rule of this world.

It won't change because of him.

"According to the 'shelter' procedure, I have about 2-3 days left. Should I make a life list?"

"Forget it, I can't get out here, it's impossible to complete."

"have a rest."

"have a good rest."

"Then, go where I'm supposed to go."

Edmond told himself this.

He changed from a sitting position to lying on his back. He originally wanted to put his arms under his head, but the handcuffs made this position awkward and uncomfortable. He had to turn his body and put his hands together on one side.

Edmond intends to get a good night's sleep.

Then, just as he was about to fall asleep—

Click, click.

There was a sudden sound of the iron door opening.

The light shone in, and Edmond, who closed his eyes, could feel his eyelids light up, but he didn't move.

It was nothing more than interrogation, and he had nothing to say.

"Senior Edmond!"

Esther's voice sounded.

Edmond turned over immediately, and was relieved when he saw that Esther was just standing outside the door alone, not holding a firearm.

He was really worried about what irrational things this simple junior would do.

But Esther didn't find this, he was full of joy and rushed directly to Edmond, holding the key and unlocking the handcuffs for Edmond.

"Senior Edmond, you're all right."

Excited Esther spoke very fast.

"never mind?"

Edmond was startled.

Immediately, the joy of the rest of his life appeared in his heart.

But the experience of being an old salted fish is telling him that things are not so simple.

You know, he shot Chuck.

According to the regulations of the 'shelter', such a vicious thing, even if it is excusable, will not be so simple to let him go, it must be a long detention, and then, from a C-level to a D-level, or even an E-level right.

And this direct release...

Am I going to be wiped and swept out of the house?

I will no longer be me.

Even, don't even know 1+1=2?

As a senior C-class personnel, Edmond knows a few things.

Thinking of this, he shuddered.

Rather than that, it would be better to simply die.

"I was demoted?"

Edmond asked tentatively.

"No."

"Not only have you not been demoted, you have also been promoted a little to become a C+!"

"Also, you are now the director of Ang City."

Esther shook his head and said with a smile.

"what?"

Edmond exclaimed.

"Can't you believe it?"

"I couldn't believe it when I got this information."

"However, the official document has come down. Senior Edmund, you are really the director of Angcheng. Congratulations...Senior, what's the matter?"

Esther congratulated Edmond, but before he finished speaking, he found that Edmond's face changed greatly, as if this promotion was something more terrifying than death.

"There's big trouble."

Edmond replied with a wry smile.

He knows all too well the way the 'Asylum' behaves.

Because of this clarity, he knew what the abnormal scene in front of him represented.

Even, he had already vaguely guessed whose handwriting it was.

Thinking of this, Edmond stood up without hesitation, he said to Esther in a very low voice: "Pack up the valuables, we will leave Ang City immediately, rest assured, I have six 'safe routes', so Under the suspicion, they will all stare at this, and then we will change our face and take the seventh 'safe route'."

"I know a plastic surgeon who is good enough for us to deal with more trouble."

"I have already prepared a new identity. It is a real identity, not a forgery. It has everything from birth certificates to school to work, including dental records."

After speaking, Edmond walked out first.

After taking two steps, Edmond, who found that Esther was not following, did not follow, and turned back subconsciously.

I saw Esther looking at him with admiration.

In fact, Esther's admiration for Edmond was once again raised to a higher level at this time.

Sure enough, Senior Edmond was already prepared!

Even if the worst happens, under the guidance of Senior Edmund, we will be able to be safe and sound!

call!

Esther took a deep breath.

He walked up to Edmond.

"Senior Edmond, I have to tell you something, can we find a quiet place?"

Esther said softly.

"Is it your identity as the Holy Snake Society?"

"Needless to say, I know."

Edmond said.

Esther stared blankly at Edmond, his eyes full of shock.

He couldn't believe that Senior Edmund knew his hidden identity.

"When did you know that?"

"I guessed it from the fifth day you were a C-Class and moved next door to me."

"gone."

"Everyone has an unspoken past, you are and so do I."

"The most important thing is how we face the future."

Edmond said and gestured to Esther again.

"The future?"

Esther muttered the word in a low voice, and then the young man smiled, a certain radiance suddenly appeared on his face, and he said in an unprecedented confident tone: "This is what I want to talk to you too."

Half an hour later, a five-minute walk from the 'Asylum' in Angcheng, in a cafe opposite the one where Esther often went, Edmond looked at Esther with horror.

"Taotie meeting?"

"Hydra?"

He asked dumbly.

"Yes."

"The Hydra belongs to the gluttonous society, and the gluttonous will be in charge of everything, and the Hydra is obedient."

"We need a force that can protect us."

"So, with Hydra."

"And the gluttonous will be our last insurance."

Esther nodded earnestly, and he told his philosophy.

Eddmond stared blankly at his junior. At this time, he didn't know what to say.

He never thought that his younger generation would do such a big thing in less than a day.

Although the current 'Hydra' is still an empty shell without even a prototype, but with the 'Masked Man' as a high-end combat power, the development and formation of the 'Hydra' is a matter of time.

"Are we really going to do this?"

Edmond took a deep breath and asked.

"It must be done!"

"Senior, your kindness and integrity make you hesitate, but your wisdom tells you what is right."

"Your kindness and integrity guided me, but it was also your kindness and integrity that convinced me what to do."

Esther answered with certainty.

But Esther's words made Edmond feel embarrassed.

Kindness, integrity?

I... just want to eat and wait to die.

However, Esther's proposal seems, may, and may make me better eat and wait to die?

Thinking of this, Edmond pondered.

However, he still hesitated.

Because he couldn't be sure if it was the right thing to do.

Will it cause trouble to those around you?

Do you want to stop Esther?

Or just go with the flow?

"Please don't forget those innocent victims - Lord Jason gave a vocabulary evaluation."

Looking at Edmond who raised his head to look at him, Est uttered a simple word.

"Pitiful."

"Pitiful?"

Edmond muttered to himself.

Died on the battlefield, although helpless, but in the end it was a good death.

To die in a conspiracy, no matter how brilliant, is just a fig leaf.

Thinking of this, he nodded.

"Okay, I'll join."

He didn't want something like this to happen again.

Some things only happen once.

"Welcome back, chief."

Esther said excitedly.

Senior Edmund is back. With the wisdom of Senior Edmund and the force of Lord Jason, Hydra will definitely rise directly, and he will definitely live a hundred years.

"leader?"

Edmond looked at Esther suspiciously.

"Hydra was founded by me. As a senior, you are naturally the leader."

"However, Hydra is a secret organization, and we usually try to hide ourselves as much as possible."

"But some things still need people to come forward, so I think that a semi-public organization is needed as a 'shell', which will focus on protection and prevent things like today from happening."

After Esther explained, he said seriously.

"Protect?"

"Can you give me the naming rights?"

Edmond asked.

"certainly!"

Esther nodded.

Edmond picked up the coffee and looked at the sunny streets of Angcheng at noon, recalling those six friends, he slowly said the name he thought of——

"'fraternity'!"
