TARGET SIX New Mission: The Greatest Enemy Part 4
Stiffness, first of all, my whole body felt stiff, and then my head felt numb. I shook my head vigorously, but it didn't immediately relieve the dizziness. Instead, I felt a nausea rushing up from my stomach, which made me feel even worse. I wanted to feel if I had a fever, but when I raised my hands, I found that my hands were handcuffed to the wall.
I was tied up? This thought that rushed into my mind frightened me and made me half sober immediately.
I suppressed the dizziness and discomfort, and my eyes gradually adjusted to the light in front of me . I found that this was a room without windows. The four walls, floor and ceiling were all gray-black metal plates, and the lighting was the fluorescent blue light strips embedded at the bottom of the four walls.
Although the light was not good, after getting used to it, I could finally see the situation I was in. I was handcuffed to the wall. My hands were swollen and painful.
I gritted my teeth, took a hissing breath, and suppressed the waves of pain that came from all directions. There was actually a feeling in my mind: It would be better for me to die.
"You're awake..." Duverg's voice sounded faintly, startling me.
"You?" I swallowed hard and said, "Where are you?"
"I'm here..." Duverger's faint voice came from a dark corner not far away, "Are you...are you okay?"
I focused my sight in the direction of the sound, and after trying for a long time, I finally saw Duverg clearly. Due to the poor light and the fact that I had just woken up, I did not see Duverg. Now that I could see him clearly, I felt a little sorry. He was in the same situation as me, handcuffed to the wall, but he looked worse than me. His agent uniform was torn, and under each tear, there were deep bloodstains. If I hadn't implicated him, how could such an excellent agent be punished like this by the organization?
"Duverger! You...you..." I bit my lip and finally said, "I'm sorry for getting you into trouble."
"Don't... don't say that... We are partners after all..." He spoke in a weak voice and it seemed that his condition was really not good.
"Are you okay? Did they torture you? Why?" I was really anxious and wanted to rush up to check his injuries immediately.
"I'm fine. I can handle this minor injury..." He paused and said, "Can I understand that you care about me? More than... more than Baron Shiloh's Mask?"
I was a little caught off guard by his question, and eager to change the subject, I said, "Do you know why they are so determined to...capture Baron Shiloh's Mask?"
Duverger sighed. He probably knew I wouldn't answer his question, so he smiled with relief and said, "I think I know something. Do you want to hear it?"
I didn't expect that my unintentional question would actually get an answer. I nodded vigorously, but suddenly I remembered that in such darkness, he couldn't see my movements, so I quickly asked: "I want to know, why?"
Duverg's voice had obviously recovered a lot of vitality at this moment: "Do you know who the leader of our organization is?" Without waiting for my answer, Duverg continued his statement because he knew it was useless to ask because I would not know at all.
"The entire organization of the X Society is supported by the Honto family. The Honto family and the Doug family defended by the Mask of Baron Shiloh have a deep family feud. Since their ancestors, the two families have been fighting endlessly until the past few generations. But for some reason, the current eleventh-generation head of Freynanako, would pick up these family feuds and insist on fighting with the Mask of Baron Shiloh to the end, so all the events we know about happened."
"Doug's family? Could it be... could it be Doug Zeye's family?"
"Yes, it's Doug's house."
I was shocked. I never expected that Daogezeye's family would be involved. This was simply unexpected!
Without waiting for me to respond, Dufoge continued his statement: "Although the eleventh-generation head of the Bendo family, Freynanako, is a woman, she is more decisive and cold than most men, even cruel. To be honest, Freynanako's family used dishonorable means to obtain the family property of Baron Shiloh Mask. Baron Shiloh Mask has always been seeking to reclaim his family's property in the hope of redressing the shame for his family."
The scales of justice were suddenly overturned. I was overwhelmed by the huge amount of information. It turned out that everything I did was evil? Oh my God! What did I do to the mask of Baron Shiloh?
"Although we are not ashamed, the organization is the organization and we must obey orders." Dufoge took a breath and looked at me. After a moment, he asked me tentatively, "Do you know where Baron Shiloh's mask is now?"
I shook my head, thinking that he couldn't see it, so I said sadly: "I don't know...but I know that when I'm in danger, he will definitely come to save me!"
"Yes!" Duverg laughed a few times, then said, "Yes, he cares about you so much, he will come to rescue you."
"But... I'm in the organization. The organization shouldn't do anything to me, right?"
Duverger heard this and said coldly, "You are too naive. Don't you know what they will do to you? In order to force out the mask of Baron Shiloh, do you think you can be any better than me?"
"Then, where am I? Can he find me?" When I get nervous, I start to act stupidly and ask stupid questions.
"The place where we are imprisoned is the core location of the secret organization X. You just hope that he will come to rescue you soon, otherwise..." Duverg sneered and did not finish his words, but this also explains the problem. Our end will definitely be miserable, right?
Time passed by second by second. Since we had no means of judging time, we had no idea how much time had passed. Neither Duverg nor I had the desire to talk anymore. We just endured the seconds.
Tick-tick-tick. I don't know when there was a sound of dripping water in the room. I was dejected and sat on the ground, staring at the wall in front of me in a daze. Suddenly, a thought came to my mind: Why would there be a dripping sound in the airtight prison? Is there a gap in the prison? It's impossible. How could the X organization use an unreliable prison to detain prisoners?
Soon after this thought came to my mind, I quickly followed the sound to find the source of the dripping sound. After finding the direction, I stared at the metal ceiling in the corner.
The sound of dripping water seemed so thrilling in the quiet prison. After a while, the metal ceiling suddenly made a muffled sound, and then fell off with a bang. At the moment of landing, it was firmly attached by a metal chain, and there was no loud noise as it should have.
A slender figure landed lightly without making any sound. Then, he took out a small metal bottle from his arms, lifted the cork with one finger, and thick smoke immediately came out of the metal bottle.
I immediately saw the hidden infrared rays and breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that there were such mechanisms here. If it were me, I would have rushed in rashly.
In the smoke, a graceful figure in an evening gown flashed and jumped neatly, and the metal mask he wore reflected a faint blue light. That elegant and neat figure was reflected in my heart.
It was Baron Hilo Mask, he really came to save me. Although I don't know how he first learned about my kidnapping, I was very grateful and touched. He risked his life to come and save me, which really made me burst into tears.
In a moment, his slender figure came in front of me. He knelt on one knee, held my face in his hands, and looked into my eyes.
"You're here..." With tears in my eyes, I looked at his eyes behind the mask. Those eyes were clear and shining, as if they were filled with the entire starry galaxy.
"This place is too secretive and it's also a core area with many agencies and guards. That's why I'm late and I'm sorry that you've suffered." He held my face with pity.
At this moment, I felt a sense of familiarity and security. Although I was in danger, I didn't feel afraid at all.
"You finally came." Duverger spoke coldly in the darkness, not feeling weak at all. He smiled and said, "You came so quickly! Can you save me too?"
"It would be an honor if you are willing." Baron Shilo's masked face did not look back. He did not need to look back. After all, we were both imprisoned at the same time and were in the same miserable state.
At this moment, a sudden, eardrum-piercing alarm sounded loudly, and rotating red alarm lights lit up in the four corners of the room.
Someone has pressed the alarm? Have we been discovered? I was terrified and looked around in amazement. I saw Duverg walk out from the darkness. He didn't look injured at all. The deliberately created scars mocked my credulity and naivety.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Now that you're here, don't leave!" As he said this, he raised a small instrument with a flashing blue light in his hand and pressed it lightly.
Suddenly, the floor in front of him became empty and Baron Shiloh's mask fell down.
This sudden change caught everyone off guard, but as expected of Baron Shiloh's mask, at the moment of falling, he nimbly raised his hand, and the tiny metal rope in his wrist pounced like a snake, firmly nailing the ceiling and leaving him hanging in the air.
I screamed uncontrollably, and only breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Baron Shiloh's masked body stop falling nimbly. But what happened next immediately made me feel extremely painful, and I deeply felt that I was a useless waste...
Duverger walked over slowly with a stern face, looked down coldly at the mask of Baron Shiloh hanging in the trap, and said, "You are still resisting stubbornly, go down!" As he spoke, he flicked his wrist, and a cold light flashed in his hand, and the metal rope was cut at once.
Baron Shiloh's mask fell into endless darkness.
“No——” I screamed in collapse, but the darkness swallowed everything without giving me any feedback.
I'm sorry! I got you into trouble!
