The Cyanided Heart

Of course I knew what was in this metal ring, I had already noticed it when Anne asked me for the password paper.Buford fiddled with the matches in his hand.

In the trance where the anesthesia wears off, I see a doctor with short curly hair injecting something into my metal ring.

...I get it all.That's no ordinary lottery game at all, it's the method they use to pick us.Annie, why did she run over from the front, of course she heard someone's conversation... about the rules of that number.

Why did I believe her so sincerely in the first place? Buford silently leaned against the wall.At that time, I didn't tell the truth to Kate because Anne was next to us when the room was reassigned, so I must still be suspicious of her.

This metal ring should be used to control us.If they find me running away, they'll probably activate something in here.

But... I'll find a way to get everyone out.

...

"Buford, are you really going to do this?"

"This is the best way I can think of. There is nothing without risk." Buford closed his pen cap, "The next thing is luck."

The rings were numbered, Buford thought.I'm number 1 and Kate is number 3... If I could change our numbers a bit, say mine to 4 and Kate's to 8, maybe I could confuse the researchers.

"It's fine as long as we deliberately expose them to those guys before we escape." Buford smiled. "In the chaos, they will only trust their short-term memory."

"...Reed told me that the remote control won't work if it's a floor or a short distance away." Buford paused, "It shouldn't accidentally hurt the children after the alteration."

"...just wouldn't it be selfish of us to run away, Buford?" Kate looked down.

"I know, I also want to escape with everyone, but I'm afraid it's just too bad. If we can survive, we can go outside to find rescue and rescue everyone together...!"

"I see, Buford." Kate nodded.

...

"That boy?" Hayes didn't turn his head, still sorting out the files.The huge office was filled with the sound of flipping papers.

"He was with a girl with short hair." Leia straightened her collar. "Do you remember?"

"...who knows." Hayes hesitated for a moment, then laughed dryly, "Hmph... But it's really strange that the supervisor came to me on his own initiative. It seems that something big happened."

"It will be avoided later." Leia turned and left.

...

All I know is...it's time.

The iron gate opened again, and standing in the corridor was the black curly-haired doctor.Buford looked at Kate and gave her a glance.

Buford lifted up the broken hair, and the "4" on the side of the metal ring was revealed in everyone's eyes. Of course, the main purpose was to let the doctor see it.

"...Annie?"

Buford didn't notice when Annie walked with him, her eyes were erratic...seemingly looking at Buford and looking around.

do not care.Buford gripped the matches in his pocket.The most important thing now is to concentrate on finding a chance to escape from here.

Buford walked past Hayes with his head down, and Hayes glanced at him inadvertently.Well, now those soldiers are left behind by us.

It's now!

Bufod took Kate's hand, shook off the crowd around him, and ran towards the open corridor door.

"Someone ran away, chase me!" Hayes took out his gun, but only hit the wall.

"Buford, hurry up! They're coming!" Kate called out, out of breath.

"Look at me!"

Buford struck the match, took out the fireworks tube in his pocket, and lit its fuse.The fireworks exploded in the air, hitting one of the Germans who were about to capture them.

"Run!"

Bufod dragged Kate around one corner after another, the soldiers behind him were chasing after him, and gunshots rang out in the silent floor.

Kate suddenly felt someone grab her arm, and then was dragged in the opposite direction by a huge force, and the hand that was tightly held by Buford slipped away unconsciously.

Oops, got caught.Kate's terrified eyes reflected the figure of Buford who turned his head anxiously.

"Leave me alone! Buford, run!!"

Kate almost roared with the loudest voice.Buford's expression almost collapsed, but he turned his head cruelly and continued running towards the window at the end of the corridor.Immediately afterwards, another soldier lunged at Buford.

"go to hell!!"

Buford drew his jackknife and thrust it hard into the soldier's chest.

Kate...you gotta live!wait for me!Buford wiped his face with his bloody sleeve, opened the window and jumped down into the night, the cold wind gushing into his nostrils.

As if in slow motion, Buford squinted.The curly-haired doctor also ran over, followed by——

It's Annie.

Why would Annie be with that man?Her behavior seemed to be that of a fellow doctor, what were they talking about?All Buford heard was the wind in his ears.

...

"Ha... That guy is really smart, he can think of a way to change numbers." Hayes looked at the remote control in his hand.

...

…Anne, you traitor.

At that time, you were watching me.

No...what the hell was I thinking, Buford closed his eyes.You obviously agreed to live together at the beginning, why did you do this kind of thing?

Sure enough, it was because I was too selfish, I only cared about escaping alone, and didn't consider everyone's mood.You must have to do this too, you also have your own pursuits...

...You are also painfully making choices!

I don't think that people who smile must be happy, and people who cry must be sad. This kind of judgment method is really stupid.At the end of the day, we still don't understand each other.

There is no other way, but I don't want to die in vain, because that would be too wasteful, so ah...

The moment Hayes pressed the remote control, Buford raised the flare gun in his hand, pointed it at the sky and pulled the trigger.

Sorry... Kate.

Flares exploded in the air.Buford's pupils shrank, and the blood dripping from his mouth drew a thin arc in the air, and his falling body quickly lost its temperature.

"Oh... this device is really convenient." Hayes turned his head to look at Anne, "Little traitor, you are so ruthless, killing a friend... I might not even do it."

"Please... Sister Hayes, I don't want to die."

Annie bit her lip.

"...Is this your condition? It's really boring." Hayes curled his lips, "Don't you have something you want to get at the cost of your life?"

"I beg you…"

"Really, it seems that there is no more." Hayes laughed dryly, "...how about letting me experience what it's like to be a traitor?"
