Xiqi Yuki fumbled in his pocket, took out two plastic bags, and handed them to Evenier.

"I still have this thing to give to you, I almost forgot..."

There are two small items in the plastic bag, a black communicator, and a blood-stained hairpin in the shape of a bow.

Evenier was stunned for a moment, then took the plastic bag.

"This is Fifina's..."

This issuing card is Fefina's "beacon", and of course Evenier recognizes it.

The so-called "beacon" is actually the "medium" through which the "agent" and the "power of order" resonate. special crystal.

The "beacon" is a necessity for the "agent" to resonate with "order". If you lose the "beacon" and cannot resonate with "order", you will not be able to enter the "exile posture".In short, "beacon" is the most fundamental support of "agent".

And because different "beacons" have different "suitability" for different wavelengths, each agent has its own unique "beacon".

For example, unlike Fefina, Evenier's "beacon" is a star-shaped earring, which is worn on the left ear.

"This is Feifina's stuff, I think it should be handed over to you."

Said Yuki Xiqi, taking another cigarette out of his pocket.

Evenier didn't speak, she was stunned for a while, then took out the hairpin, carefully pinched the corner of her clothes to wipe off the blood, and held it in the palm of her hand.

ice cold.

Evenier pursed her lips tightly, paused, and picked up the black communicator in the plastic bag.

"This one too?"

"Yep."

Nishiki Yuki took out the lighter.

That was her cherished kerosene lighter. Evenier had heard her tell a lot about the origin of this thing, but no matter how powerful and bizarre she said, Evenier, who didn't like smoking, always turned his head away. forget.

Xi Qi held the cigarette in his hand and lit it, the sparks danced wildly, but he didn't light it in a daze.

"Tsk..."

Somewhat annoyed, Yuki Xiqi simply took off the cigarette and squeezed it between his fingers.

"Well, there are some records here... I think you should listen to it."

11. As always

In the temporary medical shed, Evenier sat silently in front of Feifina's hospital bed, rubbing the communicator in his hand.

A girl's voice came from the earbuds.

At first, it was still the communication during the battle and chatting with each other, just like the usual combat communication. In addition, you can vaguely hear the sound of the wind on the high tower of Xijing.

But I don't know when it started, the noisy voice gradually left, and the wind seemed to be pulled far, far away.

The communicator must have been removed by this time.

"Well...Master...Actually, Shiyin still has something to say..."

Evenier's own voice disappeared, and Fifina's soft voice took over.It is inaudible, like petals falling in front of your eyes, and will fly away when the wind blows.

She spoke her words softly, as if in a whisper.

"Because it's an important matter... so it must... must not be missed..."

From here, the communication records are turned into audio recordings.

"Where did I just say it... I remembered..."

"The gift I dreamed of, the person I wanted to get close to...has Master ever..."

"I really want to know...if I know more about you..."

"But...Shiyin has...the ones I dream of seeing, the ones I admire..."

"the person I like……"

"Appear before my eyes, hold my hand..."

In the earplugs, Fefina, or Fengling Shiyin, she seemed to be talking to herself, and whispered softly as if she was confiding.

Avenir lowered her eyes and listened quietly.

"...such a happy thing, I never imagined..."

"Master...in fact, Shiyin lied to you...Shiyin doesn't have parents...so what you said, 'happiness and happiness are nothing special', probably something I can't understand..."

Feifina's voice was very quiet, like a breeze blowing against her ears and hair.

"But what Master said must not be wrong...Because for Shiyin...Master is special...so I look forward to it, if it is you..."

"I have always admired you...From the first time I saw you, I dreamed that one day I could stand by your side...It is the luckiest thing to meet Master..."

"It's so unreal..."

"Shiyin is already very satisfied...but today...but suddenly she is not reconciled...if...if I were a little more brave..."

The voice suddenly stopped for a moment.

"I don't know when I became greedy... so... my luck is probably almost exhausted..."

"Master... Shiyin still has a lot to say to you..."

"Master..."

The sound drifted farther and farther away, and the recording stopped abruptly, and a harsh ending sound came from the earplugs.

Evenier held the communicator in her palm and took a deep breath. She raised her eyes and looked at the sleeping girl in front of her.

Fifina.

It should be called "Fengling Shiyin" now. She was lying quietly on the hospital bed with her eyes closed tightly, her face pale, and her right arm was empty, leaving only the tragic bloodstains and the bandaged gauze after treatment.

"I'm sorry... I let you carry it alone for so long..."

Efnir bowed down, closed his eyes, pressed his forehead against the girl's left hand, and prayed softly.

"Quickly recover..."

Without the "Power of Order", Fengling Shiyin would undoubtedly die with such injuries and blood loss.

She lost one hand in the battle, and she couldn't do emergency treatment with only the remaining hand, but she still made the best effort to bandage the wound until the end of the battle, but she also missed treatment time.

Of course Evenier knew that Shiyin forced herself so much because Avenier's strategy and decision-making needed her, and she had to do it. If she didn't do it, if she retreated, then Avenir would not be able to command the overall situation, the agent's defense line would collapse, and the thousands of people waiting for evacuation and rescue would be exposed to the threat of "corrosion bodies".

At that time, the communication was completely paralyzed, the headquarters was overwhelmed by "corrosion bodies", there was a serious shortage of combatants, and there was no backup. The injured body also reached the limit of her body. For Fengling Shiyin at that time, she could not do timely and complete treatment and bandaging with only one hand, so Shiyin did what she thought was correct. s Choice.

It would be nice if we could find out sooner...

Aveniel thought.

But even if "I knew it earlier"... so what?

Between Shiyin and the thousands of people waiting to be rescued, how should Evenier choose?Give up poetry?or someone else?

It would be great if it was me who lost my right hand... If there is no choice, then it would be great if I can bear it instead of Shion.But there is no miracle in this world that can be achieved by simply making a wish.

Eveniel lowered her head and leaned against the edge of the bed.

After losing her right hand, Fengling Shiyin will no longer be able to play her favorite violin, right?Likewise, she could no longer pull her bowstring.I can't continue chasing my dreams, and I can't fight, maybe I should just retire from the position of agent...

better than anything.At least I can survive.

Evenier raised her head and placed the butterfly hairpin in front of her eyes.

Fengling poetry sound.

The first time Evenier saw her was at his fan meeting, and the second time, it was at the "Orderer" headquarters.

"Since she is your fan, it's okay to give her to you, right?"

At that time, the commander teased the timid girl before Eveniel.

In Evenier's impression, she is strong and outstanding, an obedient top student at school, and a lovable and obedient girl at home. She is at a brilliant and enthusiastic age.

Such a girl shouldn't wither away on the battlefield.

But... can it be done?

Letting no one fight can prevent death or something... Isn't this a ridiculous lie?

With Shiyin gone, this butterfly hairpin will welcome its next owner.

In the end, who was rescued?

Evenier laughed at herself, she suddenly remembered many things, from the distant past, she had actually been walking alone with blood.

The death rate of agents is very high, and there are not a few who are wounded and disabled. This is well known and taken for granted.During this battle, the agents were more or less injured. Apart from Efnir, Feifina, and the missing Qinglan, Lily and Fulan were seriously injured. One of them almost lost their arm, and the other was seriously "infected", and they were already in danger of "residue" at any time.

In addition, countless civilians and combatants died in the "erosion" disaster.

Evenier has suffered countless pains and partings.

But in any case, it can't be regarded as normal.

It would be fine if no one was injured or died, but Evenier almost realized that it was something she would never be able to do no matter how hard she tried.

Since becoming an agent, Evenier has been honing himself constantly, even with someone else.

If I was stronger, I would be able to save more people. A girl like Shiyin would no longer need to suffer such pain, and she would be able to bloom quietly with peace of mind. Growing up worryingly, peacefully and beautifully, she thought so.

But over the course of a year, no matter how many "corrosion bodies" Evenier disposed of, they all popped up like cockroaches in a dirty ditch, endlessly.

On the contrary, the people around him, the seniors who had saved him, the reliable commander, the stubborn and straightforward medical lady, left him one by one.

In the organization, the old people left, and new people filled in. In the end, Qinglan was the only acquaintance left.

But today, Qinglan also disappeared.

Evenier unknowingly became a "remnant" who has survived a year ago.

[Some people say that the knife is forced here, well, actually, I think it’s not considered a knife at all, and there’s no telling whether it’s forced or not—it’s called a knife if it’s foreshadowed, and this kind of plot without foreshadowing is actually just explaining the world view .

12. Curtain and Morning

— five days later.

Evenier was woken up by the alarm clock.

After touching the pillow, she turned off the alarm clock and picked up the phone.

The morning light outside the window was very dim. She squinted her eyes, only feeling that the light from the screen was a bit dazzling.

She glanced at the time.

It is six forty in the morning.

There are many text messages received on the mobile phone, but there is no emergency contact message from the headquarters.

She pursed her lips, put down her phone, yawned, and sat up.

After the "corrosion" disaster five days ago, Xijing City suddenly became a lot more peaceful. Although disasters still occur from time to time, they are relatively small in scale and can be suppressed easily with the activeness of a few juniors.

This brief calm gave her enough time to rest and recover.

Although it is interesting why Xijing City, which is prone to erosion disasters, suddenly calmed down abnormally after a large-scale major disaster, all in all, there will be no more sacrifices without large-scale erosion disasters, which is cause for joy things.

It's just... for this peace, the price to pay is a bit high.

Fifina is still in a coma.

Lily (Lily) and Furan (Fulan) were injured. Lily's arm was severely injured. After several days of recuperation, she has basically recovered her mobility. Showing signs of being severely infected, she is now receiving observation and treatment at the United Hospital together with Fengling Shiyin.

In addition, the bodies of three of the five first-time agents headed by Qinglan have been found. They were found under the ruins. When they were found, they had already lost their vitality and were registered as "dead in battle."

The other two, code-named Qinran (Qinglan) and code-named Swallow (Feiyan), are still missing and registered as "missing persons in combat".
