Chapter 42 A Little Time

Chapter 42 A Little Time

"Green Day?" Director Fu asked.

"Impossible." Ai Qing shook her head, "Even if Green Day knew that Huai Shi had killed Red Gloves, he wouldn't bother with a pawn. Those lunatics are always staring at the Astronomical Society and making trouble, and they haven't reached LOW yet." To that extent."

"The Saviour?"

"That's even more impossible."

Ai Qing shook her head: "He is just a victim. Even if it is revenge, he should come at me. Huai Shi's file is still being kept secret. Except for you and me, other people don't even know that he is a sublimator."

"..."

For a while, it was difficult for both of them to continue their thinking.

"That guy can really cause trouble."

Director Fu sighed unhappily, "I might as well shut it down for half a year first."

"He is currently an official employee of the Astronomical Society." Ai Qing looked at him directly, "If you insist on this, then we may only have Jinling to see you again."

Ai Qing's meaning has been expressed straightforwardly: if Director Fu is stubborn, then everyone may only have to meet in the border court.

Director Fu frowned: "Are you really going to do your best to protect him?"

"He is my subordinate." Ai Qing responded.

"No, he is a seventeen-year-old middle school student. He will be in his third year of high school tomorrow, and he will take the college entrance examination the year after next."

Director Fu raised his voice slightly, "If you really don't want him to be detained at the border one day, then you shouldn't let him get involved in things outside of school."

"..."

Ai Qing looked at him strangely: "Are you actually caring about the growth of teenagers?"

"I just hate dead children who take up weapons." Director Fu touched the scar on his neck, and his expression became more and more unhappy: "The more troublesome you are, the more annoying you are."

"He's not going to be what you think he is."

Director Fu didn't answer him, just remained silent, and once again recalled the pupils of the boy in the video.

As if he was finally irritated, the moment he clenched his fist, those disguises seemed to be blown away by the wind and snow.

The unpleasant superficial smile finally dissipated, replaced by a rock-iron-like coldness and gloom.

To destroy everything with such arrogance...

It's like treating death like dust that isn't worth mentioning.

That look, almost like an executioner, instinctively made Director Fu feel uneasy. No, it should be said to be disgusting.

I hate people with that look.

I hate children with that kind of eyes even more.

"Miss Ai, you are trying to put a chain on the beast and let him learn the rules of a house dog, but Huai Shi is different from that kind of thing."

He frowned, "He's just mingling in the den of wild dogs, even though he looks like a husky, his nature is like an atavistic wolf.

Once he had seen blood it was no longer a chain. "

Ai Qing drank the cheap tea in the office calmly, put down the teacup, and remained indifferent.

"If you are so afraid, you might as well kill him."

"Do you think I haven't thought about it?"

Director Fu asked back: "The night that Red Glove died, when I saw him for the first time in the rain, I had such an impulse. I cannot accept the existence of such a potential lunatic in my jurisdiction.

But what can I do? I am forty-six years old this year, and I already have a child. Should I kill another child because he may commit crimes in the future?

Miss Ai, he is only seventeen years old, and the juvenile protection law is on his side. He still has the opportunity to choose his own future...choose a future that will not harm most people. "

"Is that like a domestic dog?"

Ai Qing asked coldly: "Should you close your ears and pretend you can't hear? Cover your eyes as if nothing happened, endure the pain until it becomes a habit, submit to it, obey the ravages, wagging your tail and waiting for rewards. Do you think that kind of life is Are you happy?"

Director Fu was enraged, "He still has more choices!"

"He didn't."

Ai Qing said: "His surname is Huai, just like my surname is not Ai. Whether he struggles or not, he can't change what happened in the past, just like you and I can't decide a person's future."

"It was a given," she said.

Director Fu asked coldly, "What do you think he will think of you when he knows the truth?"

"Who cares? I wouldn't be surprised whatever he chooses."

Ai Qing looked into his eyes calmly, and told him word by word, "But before that, I won't allow anyone to touch him."

"Then what are you doing?" Director Fu was amused: "Atonement?"

Ai Qing remained expressionless, "I just hope that someone will come to liquidate me."

"..."

In the silence, Director Fu didn't say anything, but pointed in the direction of the inquiry room, and asked her to take her subordinates away.

.

At the same time, Huai Shi was eating heartily in the interrogation room.

After eating the midnight snack of an unknown employee, he wiped his mouth and shouted, "One more bowl!"

In the silence, several Secret Service officers sitting there did not speak, but just watched him with their hands in their arms, and there was a trace of pity in their eyes.

Until Huai Shi turned her head and saw Ai Qing behind her.

"Well……"

"Don't let others think that I didn't pay you, okay?"

"...Ah, sorry."

"Sorry for what? Because I ate so much?" Ai Qing shook her head, "Tianwen will have a potion specifically for the developmental stage of sublimators, do you want me to help you buy it?"

"Ah..." Huai Shi didn't know how to explain the matter of the crow, so she could only scratch her head, "I already bought that."

"That guy Liu Dongli again?"

Ai Qing raised her eyebrows, seemingly displeased, "It's better not to go to the detective, that guy is not a worry-free person."

"OK."

Huai Shi Federation, follow the good.

After the watchers went out, Ai Qing asked, "What's going on today?"

"Sorry for the trouble again."

"Don't always apologize for other people's mistakes—"

The girl rubbed her brows unhappily, and sighed, "To be honest, I don't care what you turned that group of social trash into. As an employee of the Astronomical Society, when you encounter an attack, the standard response procedure even includes killing option, understand?

Don't underestimate the privilege of the Astronomical Society. Even if you pull out your gun and kill them all, there is no problem in the procedure. At most, you will be demerited internally after going through the process.

I'm just curious - what is your rationale for doing this. "

"Huh?" Huai Shi was puzzled.

"Usually, you would usually run away, right?"

She said, "Begging for mercy with shameless face, running away if you can't beat... It's not your style to fight head-on."

"..."

Huai Shi was speechless, "Could it be that I am a timid image in your mind?"

"What do you think?"

"...Okay, I think it's right." Huai Shi sighed, scratched her head, not knowing what to say, "If I want to say it, I should be angry, right? Then if I don't pay attention, I will go too far. Do it yourself."

"Is it related to Lao Yang's funeral?"

"..."

Huai Shi was stunned for a long time, then smiled awkwardly: "How is it possible?"

Ai Qing didn't speak, just looked at him, as if waiting for him to continue. After a long time, Huai Shi was finally defeated.

"Well... probably a little bit."

He looked down at the scars and bandages on his body and sighed helplessly.

"Scared."

"But no matter how beautifully he said it, when he was surrounded by a group of people in an alley with a knife in his hand and said he would kill me, he couldn't help being afraid.

I always thought that I could be so dizzy that I was not afraid of death, but when I saw my friend lying in the incineration chamber, I realized that I was not only afraid, but also scared to death. "

Huai Shi sighed, "I've been doing sand sculptures for so many years, otherwise I won't be happy anymore, and I can't even continue sand sculptures, but what can I do?

I can't even live my own life.

Even if I go shopping in the street with nothing to do, someone from somewhere will come to kill me... No matter how annoying I am, this is too much, right? "

"yes."

Ai Qing nodded, seeming to agree, but she didn't know which point she agreed with.

Is it disgusting or excessive?

Huai Shi smiled wryly, stretched out her hands to support the table, and propped herself up, the bandages on her body were bleeding again. This time it was really hurt.

He discovered yet another bad habit he had picked up after reading the records.

It is convenient to die at will in the records, but if you die at will in reality, you will pay a heavy price.

One hit to seven certainly sounds majestic, but it is impossible to be hit by seven to one without getting hurt.

"Want me to give you a hand?"

Ai Qing asked suddenly, seeming to mean something.

Huai Shi smiled and shook her head, "No need, I can do it myself."

"You have to live your own life, right?"

He finally propped up his body, relying on himself.

Putting on the coat hanging in the corner, the suit was still spotless, covering the blood stains, and it looked as if it had returned to the past, becoming gentle and harmless.

"Shall I ask the driver to take you home?"

"I'll just call a taxi." Huai Shi shook her phone and raised her brows happily: "I got a taxi ticket on the road today, and it will expire if I don't use it anymore."

Seeing him leaning on the wall and staggering slightly funny, Ai Qing fell silent.

"If there is no yearning for things outside of daily life, there is no reason to become a sublimator..." She asked suddenly, "Huai Shi, are you regretting it?"

"No." Huai Shi grinned, "I just haven't adapted yet."

As he spoke, he patted his chest and made a gesture that everything was OK.

"For such a small problem, just give me some time."

The young man smiled, nodded goodbye, pushed open the door, and murmured softly as if talking to himself: "Give me a little more time..."

Ai Qing watched him go downstairs.

She didn't try to comfort or persuade, although she decided that it would be foolish to face it all by herself.

In the worst case, just continue to dig deeper, and save the field when necessary, maybe it will allow him to work hard for the Astronomical Association for a few more years.

His self-esteem and Ai Qing's professionalism were satisfied at the same time.

Double satisfaction, double happiness.

Simply the best of both worlds.

But in silence, she looked at the page of [The Collection of All Evils], the quietly increased reward, her eyes became gloomy.

Two hundred thousand dollars?

This is a bit too cheap for regular employees of the Astronomical Society, right?

Rarely, she decided to fulfill her responsibilities as a boss.

When the page was closed, she swiped her finger, and clicked on the complex symbol at the top consisting of triangles and perfect circles—Metatron's Cube.

The sales platforms established by the three neutral giants on the frontier: Tomorrow News, Shigao Society, and Workshop Alliance correspond to the contents necessary for the three sublimators: news intelligence, frontier technology, and weapons and tools.

Soon, the page kept jumping, and entered the page of the Cavendish Laboratory, an alchemy workshop featuring a combination of high-tech and frontier technology.

Recalling the bounty in the account that Huai Shi hadn't had yet to warm, she felt unusually happy.

Three million dollars.

Enough to buy a good thing, right?
