【Ji Lai】Afternoon of Shepherd

Before the image in the retina of the bright afterimage emitted by the last laser beam disappeared, the red-haired youth had already quickly evacuated from the spot.Jump off the [-]-story high-rise building with a climbing suction cup, enter the narrow alley where the equipment is placed in advance, put on sunglasses, board the locomotive and speed away according to the pre-planned route.

The tide of emotion is surging up one after another and is about to break through the barriers in his heart. However, the highest level of professionalism makes the instrument on his wrist still show that his pulse and breathing are maintained at the most stable level.

It had been a long time since he had tasted this kind of feeling that he was still alive.

Just now, through the collimator, he saw the face of the person close at hand for the first time.With just one glance, his innate professional intuition has already made him feel that he has fallen from a cliff into an abyss.

Fresh, agile, piercing, and full of vitality.

Painted and gilded everything in his vision.

With just one glance, the stimulation I feel is like the breath of a poisonous flower. It is gorgeous, dangerous, and full of temptation. It penetrates every inch of skin into the blood, bone marrow, and heart. The pain is unspeakable.

The temporary apartment arranged by the church is on the 27th floor.

The red-haired young man entered the apartment when no other vital signs were detected by infrared instruments outside the apartment.

In addition to a full set of the latest AI, the temporary apartment also has a dark room where various weapons and equipment can be placed.

The moment he entered the dark room, the red-haired youth took off his sunglasses.It was the most gentle and harmless expression with crooked eyebrows and eyes, and it was the appearance that no matter who saw it, they would have a good impression of him.But that was just his mask. When he was alone, the sense of loneliness without past or future made him exude a cold aura.

The red-haired youth took out his full set of professional equipment from his backpack, wiped it carefully and kept it in good condition.During the whole process, his well-articulated fingers never trembled at all. Although he had missed this mission, his heart was calmer than ever.

Just an hour ago, he used the laser shot from this gun to accurately implant the hearts of the remaining assassins, and the slender blood spatters were barely noticeable.Only possible at extreme distances and with extreme precision, his sniping skills never regressed.

While confirming the death of the other party, he calmly breathed a long sigh of relief, but his heartbeat became more and more violent.

The mission failure caused by the choice made by his keen sensibility made his forehead sweat a little, but the joy of rebirth enveloped him.

Instinct made him detect the light reflected off the barrels of other snipers as he aimed at the beautiful young Emperor of the New Galactic Empire.

Without any hesitation at all, he turned his gun on the other killers who were aiming at the emperor.

He's a failed killer, but he has no guilt whatsoever.

Maybe it was the emperor's beauty that seduced him, maybe it was because he was obsessed with killing the emperor himself, maybe it was some other reason that is unclear...

He never showed mercy to the assassins sent by other unknown organizations.

In a blink of an eye, his body has spontaneously shifted the mission target to——

Eliminate all dangerous elements who want to eliminate him for the emperor who is speaking in Heinesen.

He watched his speech from the corner of his eye when aiming, watched his fierce sword-like temperament and sun-like beauty conquer the people who used to be the capital of the enemy country, with his voice that was more beautiful than music, The sniper rifle killed one assassin after another lurking in the dark, like a kind of enjoyment.

Maybe he will be severely punished after this, but he has no hesitation.

For the first time since he woke up from his last serious injury, he felt a normal heartbeat with hot blood flowing through him, and he came alive for his so-called enemy.

He laughed at himself, maybe that emperor was really the worst enemy that the bishop and the others said, but he had no sense of reality like holding air in his hands, not only that, his life had no sense of reality.

Fighting for the earth, to eliminate the enemies of all mankind, but what does this have to do with him, he is just a killer trained by the church with the code name, living in the dark, without past and memory, and not as persistent as ordinary believers belief.

In the life that seems to be walking dead, in the hazy gray memory and vision, perhaps only the instinctive reaction of the body is the real and existing reality that he can grasp.

Roughly washed away the dust with warm water, after coming out of the bathroom, the red-haired young man pressed the sound switch.

The AI ​​chose a symphony from the Earth era for him.

He lay down on the sofa in the living room and closed his eyes for a brief rest.

This is a very wonderful experience, ups and downs in dreams and reality.

In reality, he is smiling, but there is no joy in his heart.He didn't know why he was alive, walking, running, and fulfilling the tasks given by the church, but he had no soul.

In the dream, he had a light that he couldn't touch and wanted to chase, and those golden fuzzy outlines seemed to be the image of a holy angel.

He can clearly perceive the real world, but falls into a dream and is reluctant to wake up. He chases after again and again, but he can't keep up with the angel's wings.

But this time it was different, like stepping into a deeper layer of a dream, lying on the sofa, but like being in a classical German-style courtyard.Not far away, two young boys with blond hair and red hair were playing in the fountain.He tried to open his eyes wide, trying to see more clearly, the momentary feeling of weightlessness made his soul fall into the body of the red-haired boy.

Through the eyes of the red-haired boy, what he saw was the brightest crystal under the summer sun.

The light was so dazzling that he couldn't see the blond boy's face clearly.

He unconsciously stretched out his hand to clear the fog, and the piercing contact sound in reality has been repeated repeatedly.

Within a second, the red-haired youth had adjusted his status and connected to the contact terminal.

On the other end of the terminal is an inorganic hoarse voice that cannot hear the original sound, "K, do you have anything to explain?"

"No."

"You have disappointed the bishop very much. When everything is ready, the success is on the verge of failure."

The red-haired youth K said calmly, "Then I am willing to accept any punishment from the church."

"Punishment? The earth is our mother. Mother will not give up any of her children. The task mother entrusted to you is to kill that arrogant emperor. As long as you complete the task in the end, you can pay off your merits. And... Hehehe..." The voice on the other end of the terminal seemed to laugh, "You have to cherish your life, live well, and ending the emperor's life with your own hands is the best punishment for his sins." The last sentence is slightly It was almost as if the other party was talking to himself, but it clearly jumped into the hearing of the red-haired young K, which is far more sensitive than ordinary people.

Even though he was full of too many questions about the emperor, the red-haired young man K still suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and even if he asked, he couldn't get any answers, and the sense of satisfaction that seemed to be starting anew seemed to be gone. told him many truths.

Intuition makes him feel closer to what he wants to know, as long as he is given enough time.

"Understood, I will work hard to complete the task."
