Chapter 1924 Bloody Wind Chimes

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There was still a lot of noise in the bar on St. Keizer Island. The mercenaries without missions spent most of their time as a group of drunkards, while the other part of their time was spent gambling on money and women.  Normally, Lin Rui doesn't do any of these three things, but today is an exception.

    He was sitting in a small private room at the end of the bar. It looked like he had drunk a lot of wine, but his eyes were still bright and he was not drunk at all.  Angel, who was sitting opposite him, was already a little unresponsive. He shook his head and said, "Young man, you rarely treat me to a drink so generously. Tell me, if you need my help with anything."

    Lin Rui drank a glass of wine in silence and smiled, "Angel, at your age, you have made enough money. Why don't you find a place to live peacefully?"

    Angel smiled and said, "I had an idea a long time ago, that is, make a lot of money and then retire. Buy an island in the Pacific and raise a group of beauties in bikinis. But you see, I have done it now  .¡±

    "I mean, why don't you leave completely?" Lin Rui turned around and looked at him and said, "Maybe you can't leave at all. Am I right?"

    "What do you mean?" Angel said with a smile, "What does it mean to leave completely?"

    "It means leaving everything, everything related to mercenaries. Just like Fatty Long." Lin Rui looked at him.

    "Why do you ask that?" Angel hesitated and asked.

    Lin Rui shrugged, "I'm just a little worried. We have done so many shady tasks. Maybe one day when I want to leave, I find that I can't leave. I heard that this has happened before. The employer is worried that the secret will be revealed.  Leak it out and hunt down the mercenaries."

    Angel shook his head and said, "I understand your worries, but this is not a problem. In order to keep our identities absolutely confidential, you should understand that no one knows who you are. After you step into this circle, you have already registered as  Dead, you remember? We had a bunch of fake identities for the mission, but none of them were real. No one was going to hunt down someone who didn't exist."

    "Maybe we don't exist to outsiders, but what about internally?" Lin Rui looked at him and asked, "Is there anyone inside the company who thinks that the withdrawal of some people who know too much about the inside story will affect the interests of the company. So the interests of the company will be affected.  What about setting some limits?¡±

    Angel was silent. He slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, "You brought up a very heavy topic."

    "That means we have it?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "This has indeed happened before. A mercenary would try to leave the company and then join other competing rivals. Then his original company would try its best to ensure that such things do not happen. But that is all in the past."  Angel whispered.

    "What will be their outcome?" Lin Rui whispered.

    "Some people will compromise, and some people will be eliminatedbut now we are no longer that small-scale informal group. When Silver Wolf and Long Fatty joined Morningstar Company, it was to make everything formal. So.  Commercial operation replaces the original bloody and dark history." Angel shook his head, "In addition to certain restrictions imposed by the management, it is mainly aimed at competitors. I can guarantee that such a thing will not happen again now.  .¡±

    "That is to say, someone has indeed encountered this kind of thing before. If you want to leave but can't, you will be purged if you leave forcibly, right?" Lin Rui didn't look at Angel, but just looked at the wine glass in his hand.

    "Yes. But things are developing, everything is getting better. This is a historical necessity. Just like the United States in the nineteenth century, there were child labor and sweatshops everywhere. And now? If any boss is prepared to do this  , the union will sue him until he goes bankrupt and goes to jail.

    When I was a mercenary, I only had a broken gun in my hand, and I would hide in the ravine all day long.  But now, you are not satisfied even if you have helicopter support.  We now have contract guarantees. If the contract expires, you can renew it, or you can leave immediately.  The situation you are worried about will not exist.  "Angel whispered.

    "Then why did you stay and haven't left yet? If you weren't subject to any restrictions, why would you have stayed?" Lin Rui looked at him and said.

    "What happened to you today? Why do you ask these questions?" Angel shook his head.

    "Because this is very important to me." Lin Rui looked at him.

    Angel frowned and said, "What's wrong? Do you want to leave the company?"

    "No, I just want to know if the day comes that I want to leave. Whether I can still leave." Lin Rui whispered.

    Angel looked at him and said, "You're not worried about yourself, right?"

    Lin Rui didn¡¯t speak. Angel nodded, ¡°Okay then, I¡¯ll tell you. If it was in the past, if a mercenary wants to leave the team for any reason, it will be regarded as betrayal.  Especially those who possess important information will be hunted by their companions.  This was the case when Yinlang and Long Zhengwu left their original small team and entered Morningstar Company.

    But now times have changed, and the cruel and barbaric mercenary laws have been replaced by a more modern corporate management system.  At least in Black Island, such a thing won't happen.  As for why I never left, I have my own reasons.  "

    "What's the reason?" Lin Rui frowned.

    Angel stood up, "I knew you would ask that. Come with me, young man." He turned around and walked to the window aside and opened it.  A string of wind chimes hangs in the window, making a pleasant sound in the wind.

    Angel pointed to the string of wind chimes and whispered, "That's my reason."

    Lin Rui looked at the string of wind chimes and frowned slightly.  This is a wind chime made of a bunch of metal identity tags, which make a pleasant metal collision sound when the wind hits each other.  Some are old, and some still have traces of blood and black stains.

    "Identity tag?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "These are the reasons why I can't leave." Angel whispered, "They were all my comrades-in-arms. I survived, but they all died. At first, this string of wind chimes only had more than twenty pieces, and later it increased to  Over sixty. I still remember every name on the ID tag, and for many years I would hear their voices whenever I closed my eyes."

    Lin Rui was silent, looking at the string of wind chimes outside the window in trance.

    "You ask me why I don't leave, then I tell you, it's because I don't want to leave anymore. I killed a lot of people and owed a lot of debts. If a person is burdened with too much, he will not be able to return to a normal life.  ." Angel's eyes were full of memories, and he whispered.  "It's not that I can't leave, it's that I don't want to leave anymore."

    Lin Rui reached out and patted his shoulder, forcing a smile, "It's too windy outside the window, let's have another drink. I don't treat guests all the time."
