"I mean...if you don't want to, I can find a way to make you leave."
Bai Heqing's meaning couldn't be more obvious.
In the United States, with his ability, he could use a method that no one would doubt to keep Miyano Shizhi alive and out of the organization's sight.
At that time, Bai Heqing was full of hesitation.
Thinking about it now, this may be the only opportunity that is most likely to make everything in the future less bad under the circumstances at that time...
However, Miyano Shiho did not make the appropriate choice at that time.
She just looked at Bai Heqing who said these words quietly, smiled and asked softly:
"Shirakawa, you also want to see the research completed, right?"
Bai Heqing did not respond to her gaze. He turned to look out the window of the room. At this time, the sun was setting in the west. It was already evening, and the setting sun was burning its last afterglow.
"yes."
Bai Heqing answered her truthfully, and then wanted to explain.
"but……"
"Besides, you actually need the results of your research, right?"
Miyano Shiho interrupted him. Although she was smiling, the sadness in her eyes could not be concealed.
"Don't underestimate me, a doctor of medicine. Although you have been trying very hard to hide it, I have noticed a long time ago that your health is getting worse, right?
Although you never said it explicitly, the organization specifically wants me to get a doctorate in medicine and chemistry. I guess what they want me to study must also be some kind of special medicine, right?
And this kind of medicine can definitely be used to treat your body, right? "
"Shiho, this has nothing to do with me."
When Bai Heqing heard this, he shook his head slightly.
"To be honest, after so many years, I have let go of many things. But it's you. Compared to my affairs, I really don't want you to get deeper into the organization..."
"But you let me go, what will you do then?"
Miyano Shiho walked to the other side, forced his eyes to meet with Shirakawa Kiyoshi, and spoke seriously every word.
"Shirakawa, I want you to live well."
This was the truest thought in her heart at the time.
She was an orphan, and unlike her sister who was many years older than her, her parents left her forever not long after she was born.
To be honest, if she wanted to have such deep emotions for two people she had never met before, she simply couldn't do it.
Speaking of the word "parents", the first thing that comes to Miyano Shiho's mind is not her biological parents who have never appeared in her memory, but the Shirakawa Kiyo who has raised her for ten years.
She wanted to cure Bai Heqing and let him live longer.
This was the only wish in her heart, which was simple and brave at that time.
For this reason, even if Bai Heqing told her repeatedly that the organization was actually a very dangerous place, she was still willing to go back and try.
Having said this, Bai Heqing knew that nothing more he could say would be meaningless.
He just looked at Miyano Shiho deeply, then lowered his eyes and said:
"People from the organization will pick you up tomorrow."
His words seemed to agree with Miyano Shiho's decision.
“But Shiho, Japan is no better than the US imperialists, and the organizational situation there is much more chaotic than here.
Of course, because of your special status, those dangerous things will probably not happen to you, but even so, you still have to be careful, just in case.
Remember, everything must be done to save your own life. "
"Well, I know, you've said this many times, Shirakawa." Miyano Shiho nodded, deliberately looking impatient.
"in addition……"
After hesitation, Bai Heqing still spoke:
"I don't deny that I do want to see the research completed, but this is just some obsession that I have because of some things in the past... Speaking of which, these are things that should have been put aside long ago. This is My reasons.
Shiho, I don’t want you to have unnecessary burdens and thoughts because of me.
Promise me that after returning to Japan, you can study normally. No matter whether you succeed or fail in the end, you must contact me in time and I will arrange a way out for you. "
Shirakawa Kiyo spoke more cryptically, but Miyano Shiho understood it.
If the research fails to progress, she will likely be abandoned by the organization and disposed of.
But if the research is successfully completed, there is a high possibility that the organization will get rid of her and monopolize all the research results.
No matter what the outcome, she will face death, and when that time comes, Bai Heqing will come to save her.
"Ok, I know."
"..."
"Bai He, you actually don't want to continue living for a long time, do you?"
In the car, Miyano Shiho looked at Shirakawa Kiyo with tears in his eyes.
"Maybe ten years ago, or maybe five years ago, at that time you might still have the idea of continuing to live.
But these are the you you once were. At least, when you persuaded me not to come back to Japan, you had already given up... Otherwise, how could you have said those words to me at that time? "
Finally, Bai Heqing avoided her gaze, as if he didn't dare to look directly.
This is the first time Bai Heqing has made such a move since the conversation between the two in the car.
"You just said that the expectations of the dead are meaningless to the living. This sentence is also your lie."
However, Miyano Shiho did not just let go of his thoughts. She raised her hand and touched Shirakawa Kiyo's forehead with sad eyes.
"The golden hoop that person left for you is still on your head. Every time you kill someone, her original words will definitely ring in your ears. These voices continue to accumulate in your heart and eventually crush you. All the worries in your heart.
Bai He, you know very well in your heart that you have already sinned beyond forgiveness. You have accepted this point calmly and have given up the idea of continuing to live very early.
The reason why you have waited until now is just because you still have the last trace of obsession in your heart. You want to take a look at the original person... and take a look at the true completion of the silver bullet.
But even this trace of obsession is constantly worn away by the erosion of time, so it was a year ago that you said those words to me that you wanted to send me away.
At that moment, you let go of even this obsession. "
Saying this, Miyano Shiho unbuckled his seat belt, stood up and knelt on the seat, stretched out his hand and forcibly turned Shirakawa Qing's head around. The two looked at each other, and she cried and laughed:
"You told a big lie to everyone. You came back to Japan this time not to capture me and restart research. This was just a lie you used to confuse the boss to facilitate your actions.
Your real purpose is to take me away from here.
Because Shirley is the only person in the world who can promote the research on silver bullets. She has unlimited talents but no ability to protect herself. And there is almost no one who is really willing to use all his strength to protect this little girl. It's time, he will die soon...
Therefore, this time is probably his last chance. He has to come back and fulfill the promise he made to the little girl a year ago.
He would use a method that would make no one suspicious, and make the little girl disappear smoothly from the eyes of all those who might threaten her.
And by that time, he will actually end his own life with his own hands... Am I right? ! "
Ten years ago, Bai Heqing still had the idea of trying to survive, but as time went by, his idea was gradually eliminated.
In the past, many readers did not understand how a nearly invincible person like Bai Heqing could die, but in fact, it was himself who really wanted him to die.
The golden hoop that Keiko put on him is still on his head, and has tightened little by little over time.
He has been holding on until now just because he can't let go of Keiko's obsession with saying "I regret it". However, even this obsession is still shaky now.
As Shirley said, Shirakawa told everyone a big lie during his trip to Japan. He really wanted to see the completion of Silver Bullet, but this was not the first priority in his heart.
Compared with silver bullets, his top priority is actually to make arrangements for everyone he cares about before his time runs out.
Sharon, Ah Jing, plum wine, and Shirley... these are all.
