Chapter 21 - Funeral for friend
"I didn't think there was any left. "
A voice came from the door that Kai walked through, Kai clearly knew the voice well. When he realized it all, the person who knew Kai, namely Jack brought the head of the fat man he saved a while ago.
The head stuck right into the long sword that Jack was carrying. Jack then threw it on the floor making the bloodstains spread.
For some reason, Jack's uniform was stained with blood.
Seeing that, Kai sheathed his sword. He had already given up on the reality of the mission failure. Should he leave the organization? That might have to be considered now.
"Hey, commander. I want to ask, why is there still trash left, shouldn't it have all been destroyed? "Jack looks confused.
While jack was still looking confused, his eyes immediately focused on one corpse. He then realized there was something strange there.
Jack then froze when he realized who was lying on the floor. Her uniform was similar to the one she was wearing, and that meant—
"hufff— just because he's your ally doesn't mean you can lose your guard. Why are you so stupid, is it because I always protected you that you became so stupid? "Jack said that. The expression now changed drastically.
He slowly drew closer to a familiar corpse. Di then stood right above him and looked at him with a straight face.
"Hey, you hear me? Jack said that while grabbing the collar of the uniform from the corpse. Then he continued.
"I often tell you, In any situation, vigilance is important. You hear me? "
Jack then shook the corpse violently.
"You and I survived that damned test lab….. I SAVED YOU FROM THERE!! DON'T YOU KNOW? IF YOU HAVE TO HEAR MY ADVICE EVEN IF IT'S JUST ONE TIME!!" Jack shouted with a pulse in his head.
He felt, his friend's stupidity had exceeded the limit. His anger was building up and he couldn't hold it in anymore.
"All my efforts to protect you are now in vain because of your own stupidity, listen carefully. "
A person who does not have vigilance, even he should know his life is constantly in the shadow of death, there will be a time when a sharp knife is pointed at him anytime, while he is sleeping or when he turns his face away. Such a possibility he should have been well aware of and that was why Jack was furious at his partner's stupidity.
Wasn't he aware of always sharpening his mind? Once careless one's life will be lost, it is the nature of the work of both of them.
Why couldn't something so fundamentalist like this be noticed? Jack couldn't say anything else.
Death is still death, life cannot be brought back to life. Even so, there was one thing that Jack had to demand from this stupidity.
"Now what about the bet we made? Are you going to break it this easy and then run away? "
Money has no life and money doesn't die either. Even when the owner died, the money could still be used—that was one of the things Jack demanded before his partner's death. A person who has died will not pay his debts when he has no family. In other words, Jack's bet is forfeited.
Jack then reached into his pocket and checked if there was some money his friend had brought. After a while he couldn't find anything.
It made Jack look down. Her hair covered her face then she lowered the corpse.
Jack's feelings were broken at this point, he looked like he was going to cry. The person who had been with him so far, someone who could be called a friend had died right in his lap.
At least even though he was in debt to Jack, Jack was still kind enough to prepare a proper funeral. That was what Jack had in mind right now.
He then fell silent under the reflection of light from the twinkling above. The light seemed to be going out.
The smell of blood on his clothes, getting thicker. The blood on the floor began to reminisce.
Jack remained silent as he lowered his head.
As that happened, the sound of footsteps nearby interrupted him. Jack then moved.
STAK!!!
Sparks from the metal swords collided and the sound echoed throughout the room.
Jack then turned his head, Jack's red sword that was trying to slash Kai, was stopped in an instant. If Kai can't do it his head will definitely fly off.
"Hey, where are you going?" Jack asked that.
His voice was very low. It was the sound when someone was about to whistle, or at least take a small breath.
Even so, anyone would notice the feelings of hatred that were piling up very deep. It was very clear that Jack wanted to kill Kai.
In silence, Kai answered.
"I have nothing to do with you anymore. "
"Is that so? "
Jack then turned his head, his eyes looking at Kai with a serious expression.
"Before you go, may I ask you something? "
"Say it," Kai replied.
His hands and feet in motion, Jack then stood up. Black leather shoes and uniform along with a black hat, made Jack stand out in this very bright room. Blood was still dripping on the uniform he was wearing.
The drip finally stopped. Then Jack asked something he wanted to ask.
Jack wasn't a fool, or at least not as stupid as the people around him. Experience is the best teacher, a person who learns to read in school will not be able to read again if he does not read often. Understanding something is very important. Jack was obviously well aware of that.
"Miss Rose told us that a commander would be appointed. He has white hair and purple eyes and you come at the appointed time and place. "
Jack lowered his sword.
The red blood that had pooled together melted again and dripped onto the floor. Jack's sword has now turned into a dagger again. He then lowered his hand.
"I have some assumptions. First, you might be someone who found out about it and then took advantage of it and infiltrated our organization. Second, it might actually be a member of the organization but tried to betray the mission by killing all of us. "
Jack held up two fingers.
To assume that Kai was someone who tried to betray, wasn't impossible.
The plan where he received a mission from his superiors and then carried out the mission with the other members. But while doing it, all the members died because of the mission. It was a very common reason to be presumed dead in order to escape. Everything makes sense.
"However, I know that bitch very well. "
Jack then took something from his uniform pocket, after smoothing the black tie on his shirt, Jack poured a transparent gold colored liquid on the corpse below.
The smell is very strong.
"That bitch is very clever, stealing information from her is something difficult, if she had known the strangeness that happened, she wouldn't have sent you. In other words, you were indeed sent by that bitch Colonel Rose. However—" Jack paused for a moment then continued, "I don't know what kind of mission he has ordered for you. That is the basis of my third assumption. "
After saying that, Jack then drained all the liquid from the small bottle. He then closed the bottle and kept it in his pocket.
The corpse beneath Jack was now wet and smelled bad.
"Did that bitch end up having to dump us—no, if that's what she ordered, then we'd be dead once this mission is over. But why don't you kill me now? Even though I found you killed my best friend but you didn't kill me right away. Did you miscalculate? If so, say it clearly. "
Kai now gave up, he then answered.
"Yes, I miscalculated."
Once Jack heard that, all the evidence was complete. The conclusion is finally formed.
He then took something else out of his pocket. It was a small box about the size of a thumb which was usually called a match.
His thumb in motion and a small fire started to come out. Lights up and makes the surrounding temperature warm.
"I see, that bitch is indeed the culprit. Well, that means my friend did something stupid, am I right? "
Kai sighed.
"Yeah, you guys aren't my enemies now. But your friend did something he shouldn't have done. "
"In that case, thanks for the information."
Jack then smiled a little. He then let go of the firebox in his hand then threw it at his best friend's corpse on the floor.
When the small fire reached the bottom, instantly the huge fire spread throughout the corpse's body quickly like a gust of wind. Uniforms and flesh are burning, smoke is starting to come out. And Jack could feel that sensation as his nose throbbed.
Smell of death.
Next, Jack turned to Kai with his usual friendly expression. He then gave Kai some kind of information to return the favor.
"—Commander Kai, listen to me carefully," Jack then came closer and placed a hand on Kai's shoulder and continued with a friendly smile, "Miss Rose can be called a Pragmatic Woman—that's all from me. "
After saying it all, Jack then passed Kai by leaving the corpse of his best friend who is now going to be sent to the heaven of the goddess of darkness.
