"...Okay, okay, no need to report any more. I have roughly understood what happened."

Rakshasa stretched out his hand to signal the strong man to shut up.

"Hirabayashi, that is to say - you have an overwhelming advantage in terms of military strength. When Onodera was already wounded by Nue, you not only failed to remove the heads of Onodera and his companions on the spot, but allowed them to escape smoothly.

Yes, is that what you mean?"

Hirabayashi...that is, the strong man buried his already drooped head lower, sweating like rain, and the cold sweat gushing out like a waterfall wetted his inner jacket.

"Luoluo, Lord Rakshasa! I'm so sorry! I have failed to live up to your expectations!"

"Well, indeed."

Rakshasa nodded slightly expressionlessly.

"Ping Lin, your performance today has indeed lived up to my expectations."

As the saying goes: Language is like a knife.

The power of Rakshasa's words is indeed as powerful as a knife.

As soon as he finished speaking, the strong man suddenly shivered several times, his whole body swaying slightly, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, as if he would collapse to the ground at any time.

"No, but! Lord Rakshasa! Although my subordinates failed to capture Onodera and his accomplices on the spot, my people have been closely tracking their whereabouts! According to the latest report, Onodera and others definitely did not escape too far! Still

There is hope that we can recover them!”

Rakshasa remained silent.

After a while, he slowly said in an indifferent tone without sadness or joy:

"...Okay then, Ping Lin, I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins."

"I will send you three times more troops, and we must capture Onodera."

"I have only one request for Onodera: I want to see my body when I die, and I want to see my people alive."

"As for Onodera's companions..."

Rakshasa paused, thought for a moment, and then continued.

"Catch him alive if he can, and kill him if he can't."

"Yes! Yes! Leave it to my subordinate! I will definitely complete the task beautifully this time!"

Rakshasa waved his hand.

"Stop flattering me. I don't want to hear your good words, I just want to see your actual achievements. Go down and do the work. Remember, don't let me down again this time."

"yes!"

…

…

An unknown mountain and cave adjacent to Platycodon Mountain——

"Hey! Have you searched over there?"

"Searched! Searched!"

"How's it going over there? Did you gain anything?"

"No!"

"Everyone, be careful! There is a quagmire here!"

"Huh! Huh! Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"It's so noisy! What is it called?"

"There was a wasp! I was stung by a wasp!"

…

Qingden raised his ears and listened carefully to the sounds outside the cave.

After confirming that no one was approaching, he turned back to the depths of the cave.

When Qingdeng returned, he happened to see Zuo Nazi put down the medicine bottle in his hand. His pair of catkins, which were usually clean and white, were now stained with disgusting blood.

"Tachibana-kun, you came back just in time. The treatment...is over."

"How's it going?"

Qingdeng asked quickly.

"..."

Zuo Nazi said nothing.

Looking at Zuo Nazi who remained silent, Qingdeng suddenly felt his heart thump.

Under Qingdeng's direct gaze, Zuo Nazi finally spoke:

"Ruptured liver and spleen, excessive blood loss, outflow of bile...To be honest, there is no cure for these injuries. Although I have tried my best, but..."

Having said this, Zuo Nazi paused, and the words that had flowed to his lips turned into a helpless sigh.

As Zuo Nazi's words fell, the surroundings became quiet, as quiet as the depths of the sea at night. Even if a white whale swam by, it would not make a single ripple.

Zuo Nazi lowered his head and said nothing.

The director-general turned his head and looked around as if he couldn't calm down.

Qingdeng clenched his fists.

The tense atmosphere... I feel like the sounds are gradually moving away from the surroundings.

In this extremely heavy world, the person who produced the first words... was Onodera.

"Haha...hahaha..."

The laughter full of free and easy colors broke the silence.

"As expected... I still can't escape this disaster..."

After saying that, Onodera chuckled a few more times.

The relaxed tone and comfortable expression... are completely unlike the demeanor and behavior of a dying person.

"Little girl...I'm sorry...my blood stained your hands..."

Hearing this, Zuo Nazi shook his head slightly.

"It's okay. I'm still half a doctor. Since I'm a doctor, I won't be afraid of blood."

"Hahaha...you are really an...incredible hero among girls..."

Onodera smiled and put on a gentle tone as if chatting with a junior.

"Although... I'm about to die... but fortunately... I still have one breath left... I still have the means to speak... and I can continue the topic that was just... unfinished..."

"I have to finish my mission before I go to hell..."

Onodera's gaze stabbed straight at Aonode with an overwhelming sense of presence.

His eyes shone with a strong will.

Qingdeng was almost forced by this shock and asked:

"Mr. Onodera, why are the Qingshui clan pursuing you with such fanfare? Is it because your alliance with my father was exposed?"

As soon as Qingden finished speaking, Onodera smiled slightly.

A calm and proud smile.

"Hehehe... yes... that's right... with such a result, I can be considered to have died a grand death... hahaha..."

"Let me think about it... About four months after Tachibana Takayuki, Kitahara Ginzo and I formed a common front... After going through a lot of hardships... we finally found the workshop that makes the magic medicine.

…”

"This is... decisive evidence that proves that the Qingshui clan and the Fanzhu Party are producing and selling dangerous drugs."

"If this evidence is exposed...even if it cannot bring about the immediate collapse of the Qingshui clan and the Fanzhu Party, it will still cause them to suffer heavy losses..."

"However...just before we were about to win a comprehensive victory...Kitahara Ginzo...he was exposed..."

"As I said before...Kitahara Ginzo is a miser who is blind to money..."

"Snobbish people like him...have no loyalty at all..."

"So... on the day Kitahara Ginzo was arrested... he confessed to Tachibana Takayuki..."

"Takayuki Takayuki is very smart...he knows very well that Kithara Ginzo is not a reliable person..."

"So...he never revealed my existence to Kithara Ginzo..."

"Kitahara Ginzo didn't know that I was his 'companion' from the beginning to the end."

"So, I dodged a bullet..."

"But Tachibana is just..."
To be continued...
