Chapter 1925: Wind chimes with blood

In the bar on St. Caesar Island, there is still a lot of noisy. The mercenaries who have no mission are mostly drunks, while the other part is spent on gambling and women. ? Generally speaking, Lin Rui doesn't touch these three things, but today is an exception.
He was sitting in a small private room at the innermost side of the bar. It seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine, but his eyes were still bright and he was not drunk at all. But Angel, who was sitting across from him, was already a little unresponsive. He shook his head and said, "Young man, you rarely invite me to drink so generously. Come on, I need my help for anything."
Lin Rui drank a glass of wine in silence, and smiled, "Angel, you have made a lot of money at your age. Why don't you find a place to live your life?"
Angel smiled, "I had an idea a long time ago, that was to earn a lot of votes and then retire. Go to the Pacific to buy an island and raise a large group of beautiful women in bikinis. But you see, I have done it now. ."
"I mean, why didn't you leave completely?" Lin Rui turned and looked at him. "Perhaps you can't leave at all. Am I right?"
"What do you mean?" Angel smiled, "What does it mean to leave completely?"
"It means to leave everything, everything related to mercenaries. Just like Fatty Long." Lin Rui looked at him.
"Why do you ask?" Angel hesitated.
Lin Rui shrugged, "It's just a little worried. We have done so many ugly tasks, and maybe one day when I want to leave, I can't leave. I heard that there have been such things before. The employer is worried about being secretly caught. Leak it out and hunt down mercenaries."
Angel shook his head and said, "I understand your concerns, but this is not a problem. Our identity is absolutely confidential to foreign affairs. You should understand that no one knows who you are. After you step into this circle, you have already registered as I died, do you remember? We have a lot of false identities for missions, but none of them are true. No one will hunt down a non-existent person."
"Maybe we don't exist for outsiders, so what about internally?" Lin Rui looked at him and said, "Does anyone in the company think that the withdrawal of some people who understand too much inside will affect the company's interests." Set some restrictions?"
Angel was silent, he slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, "You brought up a very heavy topic."
"That's it?" Lin Rui frowned.
"There has been such a thing before. Some mercenaries will try to leave the company and join other competing opponents. Then his original company will try to ensure that such things do not happen. But those are things in the past." Angel whispered.
"What will happen to their results?" Lin Rui whispered.
"Some people will compromise, and some will be eliminated... But now we are no longer the kind of small informal group. When Silver Wolf and Fatty Long joined Morningstar, they were just to make everything formal. Commercial operation replaces the original and dark history." Angel shook his head, "In addition to the management will have certain restrictions, but also mainly for competitors. I can guarantee that this will not happen again. ."
"That is to say, someone has indeed encountered this kind of thing before. If you want to leave but can't, you will be cleared if you force to leave, right?" Lin Rui didn't look at Angel, just looked at the wine glass in his hand.
"Yes. But things are unfolding and everything is getting better. This is a historical inevitability. Just like the United States in the nineteenth century, there were child labor and sweatshops everywhere. And now? What if any boss was prepared to do this. , The union will sue him for bankruptcy and jail time.
When I was a mercenary, I had a broken gun in my hand, and I spent the whole day in the ravine. But now, you are still not satisfied with helicopter support. We now have contract guarantees. If the contract expires, it can be renewed or left immediately. The situation you worry about will not exist. "Angel whispered.
"Then why have you stayed and haven't left yet? If it wasn't for some restrictions, why would you stay here." Lin Rui looked at him.
"What's wrong with you today, why are you asking this?" Angel shook his head.
"Because it is very important to me." Lin Rui looked at him.
Angel frowned, "What's wrong. Do you want to leave the company?"
"No, I just want to know if it's the day I want to leave. Will I still be able to leave." Lin Rui whispered.
Angel looked at him and said, "You are not worried about yourself, are you?"
Lin Rui did not speak, and Angel nodded, "Well then, let me tell you. If it was in the past, if a mercenary wanted to leave the team, it would be regarded as betrayal for any reason. Especially those who have important information, He will be chased and killed by his companions. Silver Wolf and Long Zhengwu left their original small team and entered Morningstar Company.
But the times are different now. The cruel and savage mercenary law has been replaced by a more modern corporate management system. At least in Black Island, such a thing will not happen. As for why I have not left, I have my own reasons. "
"What's the reason?" Lin Rui frowned.
Angel stood up, "I knew you would ask that. Come with me, young man." He turned and walked to the side window and opened it. A string of wind chimes hung from the window, making a sweet sound in the wind.
Angel pointed to the string of wind chimes and whispered, "That's my reason."
Lin Rui frowned slightly when he looked at the string of wind chimes. This is a wind chime strung by a string of metal identity cards, and the sound of the wind collides with each other to produce a pleasant metal crash. Some are old, some still have black marks.
"Identity card?" Lin Rui frowned.
"These are the reasons why I can't leave." Angel whispered, "They were all my comrades-in-arms, I survived, and they all died. At first, there were only more than twenty wind chimes in this string, but later it was increased to More than sixty. I still remember every name on the identity card. For many years, I would hear their voices as long as I close my eyes."
Lin Rui was silent. He looked at the string of wind chimes in the window in a daze.
"You ask me why I didn't leave, then I tell you, it's because I don't want to leave anymore. I have killed a lot of people and owed a lot of debts. If a person is burdened too much, he cannot return to a normal life. "Angel's eyes are full of memories, he whispered. "It's not that I can't leave, but that I don't want to leave anymore."
Lin Rui stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and smiled reluctantly, "The wind is too windy at the window, let's have another drink. I don't treat guests often."
