"I don't understand, since there is already a Simon, why create another one? With... that child's marksmanship, she can become a hero, why borrow an irrelevant identity."
"Not one." The female doctor took another sip of her cigar.
"What?" Zhang Heng frowned.
"There is not one Simon that was created. They found four people, all of whom are masters. Three of them are snipers, and one is a guy with a submachine gun. The four of them cover their faces and share the same identity. This is equivalent to four insurances. , together they created the legend of Simon, the greatest sniper in human history."
"—He is omnipresent, a ghost wandering on the battlefield, the most reliable comrade in arms, the white death of the Soviet population, the unbeatable battlefield legend, inspiring millions of Finnish people and soldiers... Well, But to be more precise, there are actually only three Simons, because one of them died shortly after the start of the war. There are not many parts related to him in the legend, and there is another one who was also killed by the Soviet machine last month. The shooter was taken out."
"What about the real Simon, does he know these things?"
"It doesn't matter anymore. He responded to the call to join the army in October last year. He threw himself on a grenade to protect his comrades during training. Without this incident, there would be no such plan. However..." Maggie Flicking the lighter in her hand repeatedly, she could see that she was also a little anxious, "Now that the war is over, there are only two Simons left in the world."
"The people who made this plan at the beginning probably couldn't have foreseen this situation." Zhang Heng said.
"Yes, originally there would be a fair opportunity for the remaining people after the war, at least...they could use the guns in their hands to decide their final fate, but something happened now."
"What's happening?"
"The last two people left, one is the kid, and the other is the submachine gunner, who was hit by a dum bullet during a surprise operation the day before yesterday. He survived the operation miraculously, but no one knows who leaked it. After hearing the news, journalists from various countries rushed to the hospital, where he announced his identity."
A look of helplessness appeared on the female doctor's face, "I can actually understand why he made such a choice. That child is the strongest among the four, and he suffered such a serious injury. There is almost no chance of winning if people match up.”
"So you're going to abandon her now?"
"We have no other choice. The matter has come to this point. We can only cooperate with that guy to continue the scene, and even help him make up for the loopholes in his lies."
Zhang Heng looked at Maggie for half a minute.
"In order for me to believe what you say, you should first explain why a British volunteer in the guerrillas would have access to these obviously highly classified things?"
This time it was Maggie's turn to be silent, "I lied to you before, I did grow up in England, but my father is Finnish, and he is also a high-ranking military officer, I originally proposed this plan Yes, I personally recruited them, I wanted to witness the birth of a legend, that’s why I came here together, and Aki was sent by the military to protect me.”
Maggie also looked a little irritable. She stood in front of the window, in the same posture as when the two met for the first time, with her arms folded, looking out the window.
Zhang Heng suddenly understood what she was anxious about at that time. She should have found it difficult to maintain the same feelings for the four of them while getting along with Simon, which also made her unable to maintain objectivity and neutrality.
"In the end, we are all mortals. I really care about that child. I even had the idea of finding someone to kill the other candidates secretly, but the war was not over at that time. I don't know if she can survive. I can't take risks easily, especially after the death of the second person, not to mention that the final rule is indeed in favor of that child, but what happened later is something I didn't expect."
"Now you find that you can't do anything, so you want to use my strength to solve this problem for you?" Zhang Heng's eyes fell on the pistol on the table, "But why don't you let her go? You know that child, you should know She won't care if she can be a hero or not."
"I'm the one who proposes the plan, but not the one who executes it." Maggie held a cigar, and she didn't notice it until the ash fell on her pajamas. "I do have a certain right to speak in this matter, But not all, strictly speaking, my job is over after the recruitment is completed, and the following things belong to my private behavior, and I cannot change what has happened, nor can I change the final decision from above.”
She paused and continued, "That child believes in you, that's why I decided to tell you these things, and you personally send her a ride, this is the last thing I can do for her, I heard that there is a lake in the northwest It's beautiful and maybe we can go fishing there after it's all over."
The female doctor finally finished what she wanted to say tonight.
"I don't have a choice in this matter, right?" Zhang Heng grabbed the pistol on the table without much hesitation.
...
With her back to him, Maggie remained silent.
Zhang Heng didn't stay any longer, he had already finished all the questions he wanted to ask, then he got up and walked out of the residence of Second Lieutenant Mustache, and walked to the hut where Simon was, but before leaving, he still said to the female doctor, "Thank you." ".
The camp of the guerrillas was extremely quiet tonight, and even Ojedo, who likes to lean against the kitchen door to look at the stars, was not there. However, the whole camp was brightly lit. Basically, there were kerosene lamps hanging outside every cabin.
Zhang Heng didn't turn his head to look in the direction of the forest in the distance. He put the pistol into his sleeve and knocked on the door with his other hand.
Maybe it's because female doctors don't like to bring keys. Simon was not surprised that someone came to visit so late. He didn't show surprise until he opened the door and saw Zhang Heng standing outside.
And then she was grabbed by the collar by someone, crushed to the ground, and the two fell into the hut together, but Simon did not resist for the first time, just lay on the ground and looked at Zhang Heng quietly, with a look on his face. flush.
Everything is just like what the female doctor said, if the so-called trust can be quantified, then Simon's trust in Zhang Heng must be full.
Zhang Heng sighed. At this moment, as long as he took out the pistol hidden in his cuff and shot the girl in the heart, all this would be completely over.
But he didn't do anything. Zhang Heng searched his poor Finnish vocabulary, but he couldn't find the word betrayal. In the end, he could only look into Simon's eyes and say, "Trust me."
After speaking, Zhang Heng looked away from the girl's chest, and quickly looked around the room. Zhang Heng believed that with Maggie's IQ and means, since she had hinted to this level, it was impossible for her to be unprepared.
In the end, his eyes fell on the female doctor's bed, where and the cabinet were the only possible places to hide things.
