Chapter 93 – 9. Hyacinth (3)
Gunshots and gunshots and more gunshots.
Bullets filled with hostility, though subdued rather than killing, roamed the battlefield. They were quickly neutralized by sniping at those who had hardened with 100 shots. Almost all of the subordinates of the great leader gathered here suffered pain from a woman named Adele Schneider, so even in the midst of a storm, their minds did not know how to return.
“Master, there is no more time.”
Adele said without batting an eye. Even though her atrocities were revealed to the whole world, she patted me with a lofty expression like an innocent and innocent person. Time to finish the unfinished business, she whispered.
“Stop killing Giselle.”
I am a murderer too. He is a wicked man who does not hastily define himself as a sinner. Although he wants to overcome all of that, he has a decent reputation when it comes to killing and torturing people. Enough to not break easily.
But what is it?
Even interrogating and killing cartel scum in South America wasn’t quite as difficult. It’s not that the level of torture or killing is too much. It’s painful to destroy someone who was once innocent like this.
Even if they are now fallen ones.
“If you do not wish to kill yourself, give orders. You can have Mr. Renner do it, or you can ask me to do it. However, orders must be issued by the owner himself. Because it is you who lead us.”
“But what good is all this?”
“Could you say that in front of Mr. Hofner’s grave?”
Thorsten Hofner died for the cause I advocated. Even the Baekrodan, who followed him, could not enjoy the future to be reached at the end of this noble struggle.
“It’s disastrous.”
I took a step back from Adele and looked at Giselle. She faced the ghost that had been wandering around still unable to escape from the illusions of her past. And she tried to put an end to the words of the woman who could be said to be the culprit of all this.
Then I realized.
Giselle’s eyes were not those of a madman who had lost reason. Rather, she maintained a cool-headed reason more than anyone on the battlefield at this moment. Even so, I ruminated on my past, which I had been chewing on, and chose to collapse.
“Giselle.”
Even though he had fallen, there was no longer a great leader who had high pride. She gave up everything as a human being to survive, and in the end, she even threw away her identity that made her up.
Yes, this was the end point we were going to reach.
“Are you going to kill me?”
Asked Giselle, who blankly tilted her head back. The vampire, who looked at the sun as if he was longing for it, looked up at the sky without hesitation even while his body was burning up.
“…… Yes.”
“Well, I’ve come too far to go back.”
The silver hair of the beautiful woman began to fall out. Her skin bubbled up and slowly melted away. She had done her best and no longer possessed magical powers, so her life was coming to an end in front of the dazzling sunlight.
“There is something that comes to mind.”
Her blood and tears dried up. Coincidentally, it was a kind of reasoning that the tragedy would end only when it was time to die. And as you can see from my expression, Gisele Schneider no longer had any attachment to this life.
As if all that fiendish tenacity and that maddened viciousness were all lies.
“Ah…….”
The great leader of Saxony stretched out his hand to the sky. As if holding the heavens in his hands, he uttered a certain aphorism.
“Heaven is vast, so I hope that everyone will gain equal freedom there…….”
Then she took her arm away. I caressed her melted face so that I could not make out her shape. She stole her flesh and scattered it on the floor, then came to me in the form of a dead man. The day she was about to take her own breath, she caught on and grinned.
“You’ve seen my past, so you know.”
I found out later that it was an act to expose her teeth.
“I forsaken so many things.”
She, though loosely holding me, continued her words.
“The family that was most precious than anything else, the dignity that had to be given, and the last duty to be followed as a human being…….”
I couldn’t bear to let go of that touch, so she showed her fangs as if she was soft on me.
“What…… ?”
It wasn’t bloodsucking. It was a blood transfusion. Realizing this belatedly, I looked at Giselle in bewilderment. However, having already achieved her goal, she burst into laughter enough to leave her battlefield.
“Uhh, uhhh,haha!”
The moment she exposed her teeth, Yulihi, who had already completed his aim, shot her right into her heart. It was a skill that arranged so that the ricochet or grenade would not be directed at me. It must have seemed to him that Giselle was struggling not with blood transfusion, but with blood vampirism, so it was a natural course of action.
“Giselle, what are you doing?”
“It means to do well.”
Took, followed by her shoving me, she opened her arms wide and shouted. On the day she slumped down, she glanced for a moment, then commanded her audience and displayed her dignity.
“I am the leader of the underworld, Gisele Schneider!”
Even when the bullet pierced her heart, her blood gushed out, and she did not collapse until the end. She was such a weak slave, rather than admitting her defeat as she did back then, she was going to die as a strong and evil leader.
“The path I am walking on is also a cruel wave! That’s why I’m the one who gave up everything as a human and took this position!”
Under her bright sun, she shouted at everyone in her voice and finally closed her eyes and spat out.
“…… I would rather accept death than face defeat.”
It was over. After her words, Giselle beat her on the chest and died. With her feet on her ground, until her last moment she never stumbled to her end.
She was majestic and majestic.
She was somewhat undeserved to be given to a villain like her. However, because of that unfortunate past, I couldn’t help but understand the reason for her fall. If only that wicked man’s soul could be comforted, I would gladly say yes.
“You are the big boss!”
Shouted an old man in the distance, sprawled on the floor with a bullet in her ankle. It was Conrad Dietrich, the blue-skinned Jean. He was the first among all the officers to regain his senses, with thick tears dripping down his old, wrinkled skin.
“How can you leave this old man behind!”
And cried out in fanaticism and blindness.
“Here follows your servant…… !”
He who had troubled our side with his godlike swordsmanship, dismembered himself with the cane sword in his hand. Giselle’s corpse, dead to death, laid it on its side as she cut open his stomach crosswise and took out the internal organs with both hands.
Like a priest offering a sacrifice to a spirit, then he died.
“Ah, the big boss!”
And that was the beginning.
“Ziegler’s Friedrich will follow!”
“This Tobias Graf recognizes only one master!”
“Rest to the great leader, glory to the true master of the underworld!”
Lorenz Shultz, an orc with a sharp impression, threw his head into a stone pillar. His head was crushed just as he was, and he groaned and died.
Wilhelmina Winter, a arrogant creamy banshee, pointed her pistol at my temple. She sang with the melancholy voice typical of her race, and without hesitation she pulled the trigger and died.
I wonder if the popularity of the underworld is also a human being after all.
Countless others also chose to commit suicide. Some thought it was shameful to continue living with the memories Adele had exposed, others shouted that they would rather die proudly than live in fear of the day they would become miserable again, and others confessed their urge to be freed from the time of despair.
In any case, they all followed her, remembering their bond with the Great Leader. Even including those who died or passed out earlier, the number was more than half.
“Isn’t it a cruel world, Captain?”
The evil ones screamed loudly. I didn’t know if it was a scream or a scream, and I vomited without stopping for a moment. Feeling that there was no need to carry his gun any more, Julich approached me. He put his hand on my aching shoulder and sighed, pretending to be calm.
“I believed that if I followed the captain, I would definitely see a better world.”
“…… I’m sorry I let you down.”
“No, I don’t mean to resent you. Rather, the fault lies with me. Even the anger right now is directed at me. What have you been doing up until now in a world that is so intriguing?”
Veins swelled in Julich’s hand, which was holding the sagging gun barrel. He, too, seemed to be agonizing over what he had gained from this mud fight.
Well, even if we didn’t pursue justice, we wouldn’t be rejecting it.
“What about our damage?”
“Even if I can’t, half of them are dead.”
“It’s a victory that only hurts.”
“I don’t know if it’s a consolation, but Mr. Moritz and Mr. Feininger and all the executives survived.”
Even so, I could see two people in the distance trying to sort things out. I silently nodded, then glanced at Adele and fell into trouble. I don’t know why, but she was staring at the spot where Giselle had died.
“…… What will Mr. Schneider do?”
“I don’t know. Her insides are hard to read even for me. Maybe that’s why I’ve been able to hide a secret like this all this time.”
“It may be best to isolate certain hazards.”
“Maybe…….”
But it’s not too late to make her judgment after talking with her. Even though things had come to this point, Adele was still calm, so I decided to regain my composure and get to work, albeit belatedly.
“First of all, we will focus on clearing the battlefield and recovering the dead.”
“All right. I will tell Mr. Moritz.”
“And I have one more request.”
“Tell me.”
“Call out a few people who are good at searching.”
Julich, who understood my words without difficulty, nodded. Giselle said she was holding Elisabeth and Helga hostage. I don’t know where they are hiding here, but in a situation where the game has already been concluded, unexpected situations can happen.
“As soon as permission is granted, each unit will organize a small search party.”
“Thank you.”
So if our first priority is to clear this place, then my first priority is to get those two out safely.
“Then I’ll go see Adele for a while.”
“Shall I escort Lieutenant Freger?”
“No, I don’t want to doubt that much.”
Julich showed his wariness toward Adele. Even if I said that, it was after my distrust toward Adele reached its peak. However, trust must be pushed even harder the more precarious the moment. Because the faith that is abandoned at such a time becomes a truly irreversible choice.
“When you give your trust, you have to give it clearly.”
Above all, I was not going to interrogate her now. She wasn’t going to argue or resent. He was just going to stay by her side without saying a word. The possibility that there could be a legitimate reason for all of this, even if it was just one thing, I believed in that one thing.
“Even if it hurts…….”
Walked like that
* * *
Saxony Underground, Dark Room.
Five or six soldiers suddenly stormed into the place where the chieftain lived.
The flashlight attached to the end of the gun lit up the antique and splendid interior, and over those who had fallen on the floor, a hostage woman was secured on a chair. A bunch of her scared left her terrified, but relieved to look at her luckily she was unharmed.
Until I saw the rope that hadn’t been untied yet and the empty chair that I checked with the light shining on it belatedly. Until I checked a white business card neatly placed on top of it.
“What should I do?”
“I will inform you.”
The man who appeared to be the boss answered briefly. Soon after receiving a walkie-talkie from his subordinate who asked, he picked up his business card and connected communication.
“Come to headquarters.”
It was a difficult word to convey, so I had to ponder the words for a while. Of course, it was impossible to keep doing that, so the words were soon opened.
“Confirm hostage existence. Completed securing one of the target targets, the cook. However, the other target, the bodyguard, seems to have been stolen by someone.”
So, after examining the name on the business card, Prager spoke out.
“Judging by what was left at the scene, it seems that the shadow wife has come and gone.”
The search operation is a half-success.
“…… Failed to secure Elisabeth Mitemeyer.”
She said she couldn’t find her whereabouts.
