Chapter 38: Burning Heaven -7

Paris.

Mountain eagles landed on the square, with bright lights not far away. Thousands of people gathered on the square, waiting for the cheers at midnight on Christmas Eve. The beam of the searchlight scanned a huge sector in the sky, and the Eiffel Tower was illuminated with bright and dazzling gold by the lights.

The cabin door opened and the man in the black windbreaker jumped off the plane first.

A black sedan had already stopped there waiting, and there was an ambulance with emergency lights on but silently waiting. Doctors rushed into the helicopter, and the man silently walked towards the sedan. The person in a neat suit next to the sedan is waiting for him.

Prosecutor Mr. Nathan Mann, Katayama's phone was transferred through Runas and he wants to have a conversation with you, "the person next to the car said expressionlessly as they handed over their mobile phone.

The man nodded at the other person.

This should be the last call, "said the person next to the sedan.

I understand, "the man took a deep breath and leaned the phone close to his ear." Fragrant mountains

Doctor, they're coming soon, I can hear their footsteps, "came a low voice from the phone, with a very empty background sound that seemed to faintly echo.

Katayama, you can't panic. I know making a choice at this time is not easy for anyone. It can only rely on your will, "the man said.

Doctor, you know, "Katayama seemed to be laughing, his breathing unusually heavy

Katayama! Don't make a sound, some of them have extremely sharp hearing, and any slight sound will be detected

I know, but please let me finish speaking

The man fell silent for a moment and said, "I understand, I'm listening

I'm probably the last person here. Colonel Hasimodo and his subordinates have all been killed in action. I have a question and I really want to know the answer

You said

If the engineering department following Colonel Hasimodo has already dismantled the railway, what's the point of holding onto this train station? They don't have any medicine, and in six hours they will lose their vitality. Then we have an absolute chance of winning. Why send Colonel Hasimodo? "Katayama said." Is it because they must be killed? That's the real decision of the Supreme Council

Yes, the first thing to ensure is that no living creature falls into the hands of anyone outside of us, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. But we don't want to lose Fernandes, which is the base we built with great effort. So the first choice is to keep Fernandes and wipe out the rebellious creatures. If not, then wipe Fernandes out together. "The man's voice was very calm, without any fluctuations.

This is a massacre

You can say that, so I would have preferred to do it myself

There was a long silence on the phone.

But even now, I still believe in L.M.A.'s justice. "Doctor, because you once told me about your ideals, I can feel your sincerity and enthusiasm, "Katayama said softly

Thank you for your trust, just like the samurai in feudal Japan who believed in righteousness. Thank you, Katayama, "the man whispered.

Goodbye

Goodbye

The trembling young man hung up the phone in a lonely telephone booth at Fernans train station. The faint footsteps that were gradually approaching suddenly stopped, followed by a sharp gust of wind. A sharp metal blade broke through the aluminum alloy outer wall of the telephone booth, piercing through the young man's chest, and then quickly withdrew. A large amount of blood splattered on the glass wall of the telephone booth.

Katayama Ryusuke did not fall, he stared and pressed the "1" button on the phone with his last strength.

The sky in the northeast suddenly lit up, with a thunderous roar coming from afar, and the ground seemed to be shaking slightly.

The man held his mobile phone with only a blind sound left and looked over, silent.

The people waiting to celebrate on the square were also stunned by this sudden change, the music paused, and everyone looked up. But nothing else happened, perhaps just a small-scale earthquake or a distant thunderstorm, and the air defense alarm did not sound. The host's stirring voice once again caught everyone's attention, the music played again, and the lights shining on the iron tower changed to bright silver white.

The middle-aged man rushed up to the highest point he could find, watching the mushroom clouds rising in the distant valley. A fiery red light flickered in the cloud column, and the cloud seemed to have solidified there, like a huge monument, with raging flames below.

He knelt down and pounded the ground with all his strength.

The wet child climbed up the riverbank from the water and looked at the fire reflecting the red sky in the distance, no longer shedding tears.

The president walked out of the É lys é e Palace, and his secretary draped a thick woolen coat over him to keep him warm. He boarded the Volvo sedan and looked back at the ancient palace. 'Perhaps it's the last time I've been here, and I really like this building,' he said

The sedan slid away with the resigned president, and tomorrow this news will appear prominently in all news media.

Not far from the Eiffel Tower, the mobile phone in the man's pocket rang and he answered the call.

Peng? Is that you? Fernandes' radio shielding system has been destroyed. Do you have anything to say to me now? "The man said calmly.

Man, you're a murderous devil! You're crazy! You killed them! You killed them! "A despairing roar came from the phone.

I know I disappointed you, "the man hung up the phone.

The person waiting next to the sedan approached the man and said, "Doctor, you may need to cooperate with us

Is the Supreme Committee dissatisfied with my way of action this time? "The man looked at the envoy with a calm and composed expression.

The envoy was polite but indifferent. "I'm sorry, Doctor. The task that should have been carried out by you has been temporarily replaced by Assistant Executive Ryusuke Katayama, and you need to explain this. In addition, the sudden incident has caused extremely heavy losses to L.M.A. Before the facts are clarified, the Supreme Council has decided to temporarily relieve you of your powers. Please come back with us to our headquarters in East Siberia. "

The man tugged at the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Can you understand that Ryusuke Katayama, me, and Peng Baoji were all advocates of building Fernan at that time, and now this city has been wiped out, and we should have disappeared together. But I have come back, so I must be punished

No, the Supreme Council attaches great importance to your and the executive's abilities and achievements, but this matter cannot be ended so easily, "said the envoy.

I will come with you

Thank you for your cooperation, "the envoy handcuffed the man's wrist.

I won't run away, "the man looked at the handcuffs expressionlessly.

This is discipline, "the envoy said.

At this moment, the doctors passed by from a distance with the surviving children. The man covered the handcuffs with his windbreaker sleeves and turned back to smile at the black haired boy, "Theo, take care of Eve and Irina. After this one, you are an adult

The boy nodded silently.

At the last moment of getting into the sedan, the distant bell rang and countless fireworks flew into the sky in the same instant, turning into dazzling light marks. The music was high under the Eiffel Tower, and thousands of people cheered at the same time. The colorful balls hanging high in the air cracked open, and sparkling fragments rained down like a colorful rain.

So it's Christmas, "the man turned around and exclaimed softly.

The envoy pushed him in, and the sedan slid silently into the night.
