Chapter Thirty-Five: Closing

"Where are you?"

Chu Zihang walked out of the hospital in an upright and somewhat arrogant manner, and said to Xia Xian after five seconds of waiting on the phone.

"Is it over?" Xia Xian asked without answering.

"Yes." Chu Zihang walked under the moonlight without looking back. The twelfth-floor windows of the inpatient building of the municipal hospital flickered with firelight, and he fled the crime scene like a criminal. "I have already reported the progress of the mission. The execution department

Someone will do the finishing work. Where are you? I'm coming to find you."

"Cathedral of the Holy Prayer." Xia Xian was silent for a while before saying, "The apartment was full of New York police, so I brought Gary here."

"We'll talk about it when we get there." Chu Zihang hung up the phone.

The church had long been closed at night, but this naturally could not stop Xia Xian. He sat on a bench inside where believers prayed daily, waiting for Gary, who was lying not far away, to gradually wake up.

Gary opened his eyes. The glass on the dark high ceiling was like twinkling stars. The huge chandelier was floating quietly, like an island in the sky. But he was lying flat on his back, as if he was floating in nothingness.

guest.

"Are you awake?" A faint voice sounded from the side. Gary woke up a lot and turned his head suddenly. Memories also flooded into his mind at this moment. Penelope's terrifying face seemed to be right in front of him.

"Why am I here? What on earth do you do! You are not international students at all, are you? Penelope... why is Penelope such a... monster?!" Gary stood up with difficulty.

Xia Xian changed into a black sweatshirt that he liked, crossed his hands, bent forward, and sat motionless in the darkness.

"You have too many questions, Father Gary." Xia Xian raised his head, his golden eyes burning in the church, and the light stung Gary's eyes, "Why don't you let me ask you something."

Gary's eyes suddenly became distracted, and his consciousness disappeared at this moment, as if he had turned into a puppet: "Okay..."

"Do you know that Penelope is pregnant with your child?" Xia Xian asked calmly without moving.

"...I know, she came to me and told a lot of nonsense, including about pregnancy."

"How did you answer?"

"I kicked her out and asked her to abort the child... It was impossible for us."

Xia Xian was silent for a while and then asked, "Do you know she had a miscarriage?"

"I don't know." Gary was like a robot, answering the question mechanically and numbly.

"As a priest, why do you visit prostitutes?" Xia Xian said.

"Priests are human beings too." Gary said blankly. "When you sit in that seat for a long time, you will naturally know what kind of animal human beings are. I have a good reputation and inspire the believers to have the courage to face their problems in a real and profound way.

In their hearts...so they confessed themselves without scruples. I heard too many extreme, sensitive, and fierce conflicts. Many people told me that they had killed people, or wanted to kill people. I would panic at first, but many times

It’s cool now.”

"Priests in the Catholic Church are celibate, unmarried, and do not own property. What's the use of having a respectable status?!" Gary's consciousness was so excited that he could produce emotions in this situation, "I am a human being too! I

We need to be released! Am I guilty of visiting prostitutes?”

Xia Xian said calmly: "Whether you are guilty or not has nothing to do with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, his golden eyes flashed, and Gary fell limply.

At this time, Chu Zihang opened the half-open door and walked in. Murasumi had already put it back into the tennis bag. He gently threw it on the bench next to Xia Xian. He also sat down and glanced at Gary on the ground.

, "What did you ask him?"

"I want to know what is there in this charming priest that is worthy of a female mixed race going crazy to dedicate a child to him." Xia Xian leaned on the back of the wooden chair.

"You want to say that the source of all this is because of him?" Chu Zihang pointed at Gary.

"No." Xia Xian shook his head, "Do you know the difference between 'persistence' and 'paranoia'? Persistent people know that what they insist on is not perfect. They hold that there is no perfect thing in the world, but they must choose one.

Mentality to stick to one thing. Paranoid people do not admit and cannot admit that the answer they choose is not perfect, and they cannot accept others saying that their choice is not perfect."

Chu Zihang was silent. It was the first time he saw Xia Xian in such a state.

"Penelope is a paranoid woman." Xia Xian uncrossed her fingers and tapped the bench gently in the darkness, tapping out the rhythm. "In his opinion, Gary is perfect. She wants to give him children and marry him."

Giving it to him was the only answer for her, and no one could say she was wrong. Maybe it was her childhood, or maybe some other factors, that made her firmly believe in the sanctity of bloodline continuity, so she misunderstood

That seemingly nonsense 'Form of Life', seven victims... She deserved her death, right?"

"The mission has been completed." Chu Zihang said, "Don't let the content of the mission entangle you too much. She lost control, and the only result is death."

"You killed her without hesitation?" In the darkness, Xia Xian clearly turned his head and looked at Chu Zihang.

"Yeah." Chu Zihang replied.

"I was just thinking," Xia Xian turned her head to the side, not knowing where to look, "If a person desperately wants to do something, when everyone thinks she is wrong, will she

What the hell?"

"Everyone?" Chu Zihang asked, "If it is really everyone, then she will be judged by the whole world."

"If, I say if," Xia Xian smiled, "one day the girl who likes you does something and will be judged by the whole world - of course, including you, will you personally insert the knife?

?”

"Do I like her?" Chu Zihang asked.

"like."

"I don't know, maybe." Chu Zihang was silent for several seconds, and finally squeezed out an uncertain answer.

"Will it?" Xia Xian nodded, "But if that day comes, I will stop you."

Chu Zihang didn't know what happened to Xia Xian today, but he still patted Xia Xian on the shoulder and stood up, "On the way here, I saw that the police had surrounded the apartment. Penelope's presence cannot be allowed to happen.

The police found out, have you dealt with it?"

"Erasing the alchemy array means Gary won't remember what happened between us and Penelope when he wakes up." Xia Xian replied casually, absentmindedly.

"You know how to do this?" Chu Zihang was a little surprised.

"I have learned a lot." Xia Xian said, "When you were in the physical fitness classroom day and night wielding a knife, I was not idle either."

Of course Chu Zihang believed this and didn't ask any more questions.

"Get ready to return." Chu Zihang walked towards the door of the church, "Before the execution department arranges tickets for us, we still have a mission report to write. Do you need me to hide anything for you?"

Of course he understood that his companion's weirdness was related to him letting Penelope go to the hospital.

But Chu Zihang didn't intend to ask further questions.

"No need." Xia Xian also stood up, stretched out, and seemed to be the lazy and casual boy again, "Just write it truthfully. If you think I'm cheating, let you earn this

The performance of killing the target... is not necessary, after all, you are the commissioner, I am just an assistant."

After saying this, Xia Xian realized that Chu Zihang had already walked out.

...

In the office of the Executive Department at the Kassel College headquarters, Schneider looked at the red task form on the big screen. The line that read "Baby Digging Case" turned green after a ding-dong sound.

"Check the mission report." Schneider stared at the completed sign and said softly.

Text, pictures and some blurry videos appeared on the big screen at the same time.

The text was uploaded by Xia Xian and Chu Zihang after they finished writing.

The pictures and videos were compiled by the Intelligence Section of the Execution Department during the entire mission.

"Did Chu Zihang kill the target alone?" Opposite Schneider, Angers was holding a glass of martini.

Schneider kept checking and comparing the mission reports, "It seems so, I have never doubted his ability. He is a real embryo killer, and at the same time, deep in his eyes, he is an out-and-out avenger. When these two temperaments appear,

When it's in the same person, the power is terrifying. He doesn't even need to release the lion in his heart."

"How is Xia Xian doing?" Angers asked.

"It seems..." Schneider clicked on all the reports related to Xia Xian, "In the priest's apartment, he should have confronted the target head-on, but she ran away, so Chu Zihang was allowed to

Killed her in the hospital."

"A hybrid with such a high level of speech and spirit sequence, even if she loses control, Xia Xian should not let her run away." Anger took a sip of wine, "What else?"

"The alchemy formation of the mixed-breed was destroyed." Schneider continued to report, "and the memories of ordinary people related to this incident were wiped out. From this point of view, this child is indeed very suitable for the job of deputy. Chu Zihang is

With his help, you can carry out your tasks without distraction..."

"Deputy?" Angers showed an interesting smile, "I always feel that that kid doesn't seem like a person who is willing to be a deputy. I can't see through him."

"Maybe you're overthinking it," Schneider said.

"Maybe." Angers raised his head and drank the glass of wine in one gulp, "Schneider, there is news about the Dragon King."
