"boom……"
Clover Villa, inside the central radio tower, Lilac, who had just hung up the phone with Kazuo Ohuchi for two minutes, suddenly heard an explosion from outside.
She stopped suddenly and listened.
"The sound was probably in the direction of Nanye. The movement was not loud. Those people probably didn't detonate the building."
"Nan Ye...could it be the Belmode they just reported to you?" Behind her, Kuroi Jingzhi, who is blind in his left eye and has gray hair, said.
"It sounds like you have doubts about the identity of this Belmod?" Lilac was keenly aware of the hidden meaning in his words.
"It's just a reasonable suspicion." Walking in front of her, Kurorai Jingzhi slowly explained: "According to the intelligence we have collected in the past, although Belmode has strong shooting ability, he himself is not good at fighting.
She knocked down the eight people on the first floor of Nanye alone, which is indeed incredible in my opinion. "
"Then assuming that the silver-haired woman in Nanye is not Belmod, who do you think she could be?"
Footsteps kept making thumping sounds on the metal stair slab. As the two continued down the stairs, Lilac asked.
"Who could it be? It's really hard to judge..."
Kuroyori Jingzhi lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "After all, there are not a few candidates in this world who meet the two characteristics of silver hair and women. It is indeed unrealistic to make a judgment based on these two points alone, but... …”
Suddenly the conversation changed, Kuroire Jingzhi turned to look at Lilac, raised his hand and pointed at his blind left eye.
"Miss Lilac, do you know how I became blind in my left eye?"
Lilac didn't answer, just looked at him quietly.
"That was seventeen years ago."
And Kuroi Jingzhi didn't really want her to answer. As soon as he finished speaking, he explained himself:
"At that time, we received a mission to arrest an important figure in this black organization. This was a must-win operation because our target made a fatal mistake at that time and he exposed himself. 's whereabouts.
Little girl, guess who this important person will be? "
"Regel?" Lilac asked tentatively.
"wrong."
Kuroyori Jingzhi shook his head, and then gave the correct answer.
"It's Rum."
"Rum?"
"Yes, seventeen years ago, there was the famous Haneda Koji case. Japan's best shogi player at the time, Haneda Koji, went to the United States to participate in a chess competition, but was accidentally involved in the black organization's murder of Amanda Hughes. was also killed in the assassination operation.
According to the intelligence we received at the time, the assassination operation of the black organization was planned by Rum, and he himself did appear during the operation.
However, it was not just him who showed up, but also Regel. "
"Regel?"
"Yes, Regal..."
Kurorai Jingzhi's hands seemed to be trembling slightly. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his body, took one out and lit it for himself.
Lilac was a little surprised. This was the first time she knew that Kuroi Jingzhi had a smoking habit.
"Little girl, how do you think Regel appeared? With Rum?
No, he is hiding among us. He disguises himself and changes his voice. He uses these methods to disguise himself so that no one of us notices. Then at the most deadly moment, he suddenly attacks us. At that time, in the blink of an eye, all my comrades were dead, all killed by him, and I was the only one who survived.
Little girl, guess again, why can I survive? "
Kuroiri Jingzhi turned to look at Lilac again. He took a long puff of cigarette, with a smile that could be said to be weird on his old face.
Also without waiting for Lilac's reply, he continued on by himself:
"Because I begged him for mercy."
"What?"
For a moment, Lilac wondered if she had heard wrong.
beg for mercy?
"You heard me right, I begged him for mercy."
He didn't feel any shame about this, and Kuroiri Jingzhi even repeated it very seriously.
“It wasn’t that I defeated him or that I deceived him, it was that I begged him for mercy, so he let me go.
Reger is a very special person, although in some research and analysis reports on him, there are many fools claiming to be experts who have been trying to label him as a psychopath, a murderer or a psychopath. labels, but in my opinion, these are just the conjectures of incompetent fools.
In my opinion, Regel's mental condition is very healthy. You can even say that he has a very good character. He just does things a little casually. Just like seventeen years ago, I didn't want to die and I begged him for mercy. So He just let me go.
He didn't even hesitate, just because I dropped the gun and knelt down to him, he let me go for the price of just one eye.
Only by living well can you do more things... This is what Regel told me at the time. Therefore, it is really a cost-effective thing to exchange one eye for a life.
He also told me that one failure is nothing. As long as I don’t give up and try again and again, I will definitely be able to catch him in the future... Hiss! "
The burnt cigarette butt burned the fingers holding it. Stimulated by the pain, Kurorai Jingzhi seemed to have finally come to his senses.
He was suddenly stunned for a moment, and the somewhat crazy expression on his face suddenly froze, and then quickly disappeared.
"Sorry, I lost my temper a little."
Finally realizing what he had just said, Kurorai Jingzhi looked at Lilac, who had been silent for a long time, with a hint of apology on his old face.
"What I really want to say is that in this black organization, Regel also has the same disguise technique as Belmode, so their identities cannot be determined just from their appearance... I'm sorry."
"Mr. Kurei, I seriously suggest that you see a psychiatrist after this operation is over." Lilac didn't say anything more, just said in a calm tone.
She could clearly feel that something was wrong with Kuroiri Jingzhi's mental state when the name Regel was mentioned just now. This was probably some kind of psychological trauma.
"Haha, I will."
Kuroi Jingzhi laughed and dropped the topic.
"By the way, Miss Lilac, are you really not going to return to the United States with me?"
"No, I have a visa to come to Japan. If I don't go back through Japan, there may be flaws..."
"Buzz."
At this moment, the cell phone on Lilac suddenly rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was Kazuo Ohuchi's number.
