In the detention room of less than three square meters, except for a toilet, there are no decorations and no windows. The only door is made of iron, and there is a food delivery port below it, which is also tightly closed at this moment.
Darkness is the color of the prison room.
Silence is the accompaniment of the prison room.
Edmund sat on the floor 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 expect that one day he would appear here.
well.
He sighed slightly, in the darkness, he couldn't see Edmond's expression.
But the sigh was enough to explain everything.
"I didn't hold back."
"Obviously I want to eat and wait until I retire...why am I so impulsive?"
"Poor me, I still have 29 years and 11 months left on my mortgage."
Edmund couldn't help feeling sad when he thought that his house would be taken away by the bank and put up for auction, and the down payment and one-month loan repayment he had paid before were completely in vain.
Especially when he thought of how frugal he had been for the past ten years to collect the down payment to buy a house, he couldn't help sobbing.
He, distressed.
However, he has no real regrets.
Some things, just like this, are dismissive on the lips, but in fact they are deeply rooted in my heart and can never be forgotten.
Edmund knew very well that even if he did it again, he would still do it.
Getting older and older, ideals are drifting away, but... the blood is not cold.
He can feel his heartbeat when he breathes.
Every time, strong and powerful.
He also knew what he was about to encounter.
If you do something willful, you will naturally have to pay the price.
This is the rule of this world.
won't change because of him.
"According to the 'shelter' process, I probably have 2-3 days left. Should I make a life list?"
"Forget it, I can't get out here, it's impossible to finish."
"have a rest."
"have a good rest."
"Then, go where I need to go."
Edmund told himself this.
He changed from a sitting position to lying down. He originally wanted to put his arms under his head, but the handcuffs made this position awkward and uncomfortable. He had to turn sideways and put his hands together on one side.
Edmund planned to sleep well.
Then, just as he was about to fall asleep—
Click, click.
Suddenly there was the sound of the iron door opening.
The light came in, and Edmond, who had his eyes closed, could feel his eyelids light up, but he didn't move.
It was nothing more than an interrogation, and he had nothing to say.
"Senior Edmund!"
Esther's voice sounded.
Edmon stood up immediately, and he was relieved when he saw that Esther was standing outside the door alone, not holding a gun.
He was really worried that this simple junior would do something irrational.
But Esther didn't notice this, and he rushed directly to Edmond, who was full of joy, and opened the handcuffs for Edmond with the key.
"Senior Edmond, you are fine."
The excited Esther spoke extremely fast.
"never mind?"
Edmund was taken aback.
Immediately, the joy of the rest of the life after the catastrophe appeared in the bottom of my heart.
But his experience as an old salted fish told him that things were not that simple.
You know, he shot Chuck.
According to the regulations of the 'shelter house', such a vicious thing, even if the circumstances are justifiable, he would not be released so easily. It must be a long period of detention, and then he will be changed from C-level to D-level, or even E-level. right.
And this immediate release...
Am I going to be wiped of my memory and kicked out
I will no longer be me.
Even, don't even know 1+1=2
As a senior C-level personnel, Edmond knows some things.
Thinking of this made him shudder.
Instead of that, it's better to die directly.
"I was demoted?"
Edmund asked tentatively.
"No."
"Not only have you not been downgraded, but you have been promoted by a small grade and become a C+ grade!"
"And, you are now the director of Ang Cheng."
Est shook his head and said with a smile.
"What?"
Edmund exclaimed.
"You can't believe it either?"
"When I got this information, I couldn't believe it."
"However, the official document has come down. Senior Edmond, you are really the director of Angcheng. Congratulations... Senior, what's wrong?"
Esther congratulated Edmond, but before he finished speaking, Edmond's face changed drastically, as if this kind of promotion was something more terrifying than death.
"There's big trouble."
Edmund replied with a wry smile.
He knows the style of 'Asylum' all too well.
It was precisely because of this clarity that he knew what the abnormal scene in front of him represented.
He even vaguely guessed whose handwriting it was.
Thinking of this, Edmond stood up without hesitation, and said to Este in a very low voice: "Pack up your valuables, we will leave Ang City immediately, don't worry, I have six 'safety routes', so Under the suspicion, they will all focus on this, and then we will take the seventh 'safety route' in a different way."
"I know a plastic surgeon. His level is good enough for us to deal with more troubles."
"I have prepared a new identity a long time ago. It is a real identity, not a forged one. It has everything from birth certificates to school to work, including dental records."
After speaking, Edmond took the lead to go out.
After taking two steps, Edmond, who found that Esther hadn't followed, turned back subconsciously.
I saw Esther looking at him with admiration.
In fact, Esther's admiration for Edmund was raised to another level at this time.
Sure enough, Senior Edmund was already prepared!
Even if the worst happens, under the guidance of Senior Edmon, we will definitely be safe and sound!
call!
Est took a deep breath.
He walked up to Edmund.
"Senior Edmond, I have to tell you something, can we find a quiet place?"
Esther said softly.
"Is it your 'Holy Snake Society' identity?"
"Needless to say, I know."
Edmund said.
Esther stared blankly at Edmond, his eyes full of shock.
He couldn't believe that Senior Edmund actually knew his hidden identity.
"Since when did you know?"
"I guessed it from the fifth day you became a C-level person and moved next door to me."
"gone."
"Everyone has an unspeakable past, you are, and so am I."
"The most important thing is how we face the future."
Edmund said and gestured to Esther again.
"The future?"
Esther muttered this word in a low voice, and then, the young man smiled, a certain radiance suddenly appeared on his face, and he said in an unprecedentedly confident tone: "This is what I want to talk to you too."
Half an hour later, in a cafe in the opposite direction to the one Esther used to go to, five minutes' walk from Ang City's 'shelter', Edmond looked at Esther with horror.
"Glutton Club?"
"Hydra?"
he asked dully.
"Yes."
"Hydra belongs to the Taotie society, and the Taotie society is in charge of everything, and Hydra obeys orders."
"We need a force that can protect us."
"So, there is Hydra."
"The Taotie Club will be our last insurance."
Esther nodded seriously, and he was talking about his ideas.
Edmund stared blankly at his junior. At this moment, he didn't know what to say.
He never thought that his juniors 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 'mask man' as a high-end combat power, the development and formation of 'Hydra' is only a matter of time.
"Are we really going to do this?"
Edmond took a deep breath and asked.
"It has to be done!"
"Senior, your kindness and integrity make you hesitate, but your wisdom tells you what is right."
"Your kindness and integrity guide me, but it is also your kindness and integrity that make me sure of what I should do."
Esther replied in the affirmative.
But Esther's words made Edmond feel embarrassed.
Kindness and integrity
I... just want to eat and die.
However, Esther's proposal seems, may, maybe allow me to better eat and wait to die
Thinking of this, Edmond pondered.
However, he still hesitated.
Because he couldn't be sure whether it was right to do so.
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—Master Jason gave a vocabulary evaluation."
Looking at Edmund who looked up at him, Esther said a word very simply.
"Pitiful."
"Pitiful?"
Edmond muttered to himself.
Died on the battlefield, although helpless, but after all, it is a worthy death.
Death by conspiracy, no matter how brilliant it is, is just a fig leaf.
Thinking of this, he nodded.
"Okay, I'll join."
He doesn't want something like this to happen again.
Some things happen only once.
"Welcome back, Chief."
Esther said excitedly.
Senior Edmond is back, with the wisdom of Senior Edmond and Lord Jason's force, Hydra will definitely rise directly, and he will definitely live a long life.
"leader?"
Edmund 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. Therefore, I think that a semi-public organization is needed as a 'shell'. It 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?"
Edmund asked.
"certainly!"
Est nodded.
Edmund picked up the coffee and looked at the sunny streets of Angcheng at noon, recalling the six friends, and he slowly said the name he thought of—
"'fraternity'!"
