Volume 1 Beginning Chapter 22 The Crow is Coming to You
My name is Saito Tsurugi. I'm an arms dealer.
Just a while ago, for some unknown reason, my family was captured by an organization with which I had done business, and they were used to threaten me.
I had hidden them.
After all, my family is in their hands. I will do whatever they ask.
They asked me not to deliver the goods of that black organization.
I know this will definitely damage my credibility, and that organization is not someone that can be easily bullied. They will definitely find me and retaliate against me.
But what can I do? My daughter is still so young, and my wife has always trusted me so much...
I can't imagine life without them. I can't bear the possibility of losing them.
So I did it without even hesitating .
Today is the third night since I broke my promise. The black crows came to my door.
I heard gunshots.
Although the sound was very small, I am an arms dealer and I can still distinguish the sound of a pistol with a silencer.
I had thought about this day a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.
Too fast, or rather, so fast that I didn't even have time to see my daughter and wife again.
I didn't know where I could run. They were so close to me when I heard the gunshots. I could even hear their muffled footsteps clearly. It was like the death knell.
So I hid in the secret room.
…
“Based on the inconsistent wear levels on the left and right hand drawers, the target is most likely right-handed.
The things on the desk are very ordinary, but the bookshelf next to it is more eye-catching.
But if it were me, I would use reverse thinking, so it is more likely that the mechanism is next to the desk."
I couldn't see outside the secret room, but I could hear the sounds. If I wasn't in this position, I would almost applaud this smooth reasoning.
“…Pah, pah, pah.”
Oh, it seems someone has the same idea as me.
“Rye is awesome.”
It's a young voice.
This organization actually has such young members?
It sounds like the people outside are about to find me. But it doesn't matter, I have already prepared myself for my end. At worst, I will just die.
It's a pity that I can't see her again... I hope that organization can keep its promise and not kill them. I also hope that they can live a life without fear in the future.
"Let me look for it... This pen holder is on the right hand side, but the position is weird... It seems to be able to rotate..."
Very close. Closer.
“Click.”
The crisp sound of the mechanism opening.
The sound of walls moving .
A ray of light gradually came in. Then it slowly expanded to cover the entire secret room. General.
I know they found me.
…
What appeared before him was a strange trio.
The man standing in the middle, holding the pen holder in his hand, was wearing a black knitted hat and had sharp green eyes. He must have made the deduction just now.
The most eye-catching person is the tall man standing next to him. He has silver hair and his eyes under the black hat look very fierce, and he looks like he is not someone you want to mess with.
The person standing at the edge is very inconspicuous. He is completely covered from head to toe. He may be the younger person .
The one thing they have in common is that they all wear pure black clothes.
It turned out to be someone from the black organization.
…
"Hello, Mr. Saito Tsuyoshi, right?"
The inconspicuous boy squinted his eyes, and although his face was covered by a mask, I could still guess that he was smiling.
I haven't realized the meaning of this smile yet.
By the time I realized it...it was too late.
