Diamond Ace: Another Story of Sawamura

·

"Luck is also part of strength." This is what the puppy said.

The man fell down at the last moment before being chopped down, and Rongchun escaped.

After that, he was silent for several days.

The image of that man's falling figure lingered in my mind. He twitched a few times, and then became motionless. He died so easily.

If I were in their hands, would I be dealt with so easily and disappear?

During the days when he had nothing to do, Rongchun started to join the team in training. At first, no one paid attention to him, but later they tacitly allowed Rongchun to participate.

He would never have imagined that he, an adult, would actually be beaten to a pulp by a kid who was twenty years younger than him.

Seeing that some people were able to complete the training without taking a breath, Rong Chun felt the real difference of fighting for their lives.

"If you are not strong enough, you will die." This is their world.

Because he couldn't keep up with the pace of others, Rong Chun had to continue training day and night, and he could only rest for a short while after completing the day's training.

The day and night training often made him collapse from exhaustion every two or three days, and he would vomit whatever he ate.

There seemed to be no end to the weight-bearing long-distance running training, the shooting training that made your eyes go blind, the resistance training that made your skin torn and your bones broken, and the combat training that was so painful that you felt like you were dying.

Every day, various scars appear on his body. If his body is intact on a certain day, it only means that he was exhausted the day before and cannot move today.

"I was fucked pretty hard today too..." He came to the infirmary every few days. The doctor said that it had been a long time since the same person came so frequently. "Even if he is a regular customer, the medical expenses cannot be reduced by a single cent."

"..." Rong Chun lay on the bed, just raised his hand slightly to make an OK gesture, and then continued to let the doctor do whatever he wanted.

My whole body was filled with numbness and pain that cannot be described in words. It was so painful that I couldn't even feel anything at all. On the bright side, I even saved money on painkillers and anesthetic injections.

"..." The cat sat aside with the puppy and waited. Looking at the man, the cat sighed, "What a strange person..."

He appeared inexplicably and was allowed to stay by the leader. Then he went on a mission inexplicably and joined the army's training.

“It’s not like I haven’t seen stranger people before…” The puppy continued to wipe his knives without even raising his head.

"This person's world is different from ours." This is the first impression that cannot be erased in the cat's mind even after spending some time together. His every move reveals an aura that is different from theirs.

"Even if he adapts to this world, the world may not accept him."

"If this world can't accept him..." Puppy looked up at the miserable Rongchun, 'then he really has no way out...'

"Okay, take him away." After the doctor finished treating Rong Chun, he didn't even waste time putting his clothes back on, and directly drove the puppy away.

"Hmm..." Puppy watched the doctor leave, then squatted beside the bed and approached Rongchun, "Is this your limit?"

"..." Rongchun turned to look at Xiaogou. He wanted to tell him not to underestimate him, it was just the limit of his body, he had experienced more painful times than now.

But he was so tired that he couldn't even make a sound, and the next second something pressed against his lips.

"Eating candy can relieve pain!"

“…”Eating candy can relieve pain, although Rong Chun doesn’t quite believe it.

Seeing Rongchun open his mouth and hold the candy, Xiaogou didn't care whether he was in pain or not, and pulled Rongchun up and carried him on his back to leave the hospital, "You can still glare at me, but you haven't reached your limit yet."

"..." The cat followed him out, looked at the well-behaved Rongchun, and asked: "It feels like... I haven't seen your intact face for a while..."

"Pfft... hehe..." Although the cat said it first, the puppy had wanted to say it a long time ago, "Compared to this, I guess the doctor is going to drain all your money."

"..." Rong Chun smiled when he heard this. He was helpless about these two points, or he was powerless to resist.

It wasn't until Rongjun was able to keep up with their training rhythm that he started to go on missions with the team more often.

He didn't know why he abused himself like this, why he persisted for so long, and why he stayed here.

There is one thing that he always insists on, no matter what situation he encounters.

So far, he has never wiped out a life with his own hands. He cannot wipe out a life without being moved like others.

He thought that if one day he became like them and no longer cared about other people's lives, he would no longer be the same Sawamura Eijun.

"The target this time..." Xiaogou handed a few photos to Rongchun, "We'll talk about the details before the mission begins. Remember these people's faces first."

Eijun put down the spoon and looked through some photos.

"Eijun~"

"Oh... I'm done." Rongchun hurriedly put away the photos and finished the remaining food on the plate.

"Want to go out?"

"Well, I'm going hunting with the kids."

"Isn't the injury still healed?"

"It's no big deal, just move around!" Rong Chun said as he quickly put on his clothes and shoes, picked up his equipment and ran out.

"for you."

"Hmm?" Rongchun caught the thing thrown to him, took a closer look and smiled, "Thanks! It's the fruit flavor I like."

"He's been with us for half a year, right?" Butterfly was typing on the computer while eating, "You really like him!"

"Anyway, the leader didn't say anything, right?" The puppy ate the remaining food in a few bites, drank a sip of water, and then held the lollipop in his mouth and smiled, "Have you decided on the next camp?"

"It's decided..." Butterfly paused as a notification page popped up on the screen, then grinned, "The fish have taken the bait, get ready to close the net~"

"laugh..."

On the other side, seeing the person in front running away, Rong Chun had to speed up to catch up.

After more than half a year of training, the result is that Rongjun can finally keep up with their pace.

At first, the speed and stamina that even children couldn't keep up with really surprised Eijun. After all, he had been playing professional baseball for so many years, and his stamina was one of his abilities that he could boast about.

"Eijun! Hurry up and catch up!"

"Ok!"

As a result, all the capital that had been honed for so many years was nothing in front of this group of monsters, even the small monsters.

"But..." With their running and jumping speed that was no less than a sprint, Eijun still had some difficulty keeping up, not to mention running and jumping in this dense forest, "They were just like a group of wild beasts..."

"Found it!" As the team dispersed, Eijun quickly jumped up the tree.

Occupying the commanding heights, he quickly confirmed the location of the prey, drew out his hunting knife, and was ready to attack at any time. Just as he was taught, Rong Chun moved between the tree trunks, stared at the prey, and waited for the signal.

"call out..."

The whistle announced the time to strike, and everyone had already taken the best position and jumped down when the opportunity arose.

Eijun aimed at an adult sheep on the periphery, jumped onto its back, and without giving it a chance to fight back, stabbed its throat with a knife.

The sheep, which was still running, was suddenly hit and stabbed in the vitals, and fell to the ground, but Rong Chun jumped out and cut its throat with a knife.

He watched coldly as the sheep fell to the ground and struggled for a few times before it became completely motionless. Then he stepped forward to check his prey.

The rest of the sheep had already run away, but their harvest was also rich, after all, they caught seven or eight sheep at once.

"Good harvest! Let's meet up with the other team and go back!"

"Oh!"

"Green snake..." Carrying the prey, Rong Chun followed the children who were already celebrating happily and chuckled, "You seem to like hunting with a small army?"

"..." The green snake who was also a porter next to him sighed helplessly, "This is the leader's commission... The other guys don't care..."

Then, Eijun heard him muttering, "It's not like I want to lead a bunch of little brats..."

“Hehe…” After all, he couldn’t disobey the leader’s entrustment, so Rong Chun couldn’t help laughing, “Except for some mischief, these kids are still very well behaved…”

"..." Looking at the little brat in front of him who had just abandoned the existing prey and ran away because he saw an interesting prey, the green snake cast a look at Rong Chun, saying, "How do you know they are well behaved?"

"Hahaha... Only in front of the leader..."

On the battlefield, stepping out of the safety of the camp and going out hunting like this is one of the few moments of relaxation, because an invasion may occur at any time after patrol time is exceeded.

After a brief relaxation, Rongjun plunged into the tense task again. He did not have as strong strength as others, so as long as he was on the mission, he would not relax at all.

However, what puzzled him was that this mission was very strange. The targets were not important people. Some were cadres, some were relatives, some were partners, and some were just minions.

Moreover, it seemed that many people were assigned to this mission, and Rongchun had no idea what the jobs of the others were.

"Anyway...it seems that all the targets who can be kept alive have been assigned to me!" Looking at the target being taken away by the ambulance, Eijun blended into the crowd and dispersed.

"...I have to run a long way again."

There is no limit to the methods, regardless of life or death, the regions are wide, and the numbers are considerable.

By the time Rongchun completed the mission objectives and returned to the camp, more than a month had passed.

"very nice..."

As soon as I came back here, I felt like I could let go of all my disguises. I didn't need to use masks or hats to hide myself, and I didn't need to walk in the shadows to feel safe.

“Slower than expected.”

"Yeah, it's indeed a bit delayed." Following the crow that came from behind, Rongchun took a breath, "The atmosphere is pretty good, it seems like something big is going to happen?"

"Except for those who have been sent out, most of the rest have made full preparations, and the only thing left is to close the net."

"Closing the net?"
