Today is different from the past. The integration movement finally has its own conference room—a large tent and its own conference table—although the material is wood that can be seen everywhere.

But there were no chairs, so they all sat cross-legged.The cadres below, Yelena, Faust, Misha, Bone Broken... Alina sat next to Tallulah, reviewing the documents for today's meeting.

Tallulah glanced at everyone.

For the safety of the camp, the Patriots were on guard duty during the meeting, but one cadre did not come.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, Tallulah couldn't help but frown: "Where's Ino?"

"He went to the homeless home, I went to find him..." Faust was about to get up.

"No need," Tallulah waved her hand and said sternly: "Mephisto is a cadre of the Integration Movement. He is no longer a child. He should understand the importance of the meeting."

"Now, let's have a meeting."

Tallulah distributed a document to everyone: "General Plan for Integrating Movement Organizational Reform and Underground Movement Development."

"Now, let's start with the first one..."

------

It's not that Ino won't come, it's that he can't leave.

From morning to noon, both the air and the light are the best. The girl insisted on dragging him to the river to catch fish.

Seeing that it would be a long time before leaving, Ino reluctantly agreed, not thinking that it would be really fun.

"Mephisto, you are quite powerful."

The girl put her hands on her hips and looked at the obvious gap between the two piles of fish beneath them. No matter how unconvinced she was, she had to admit it.

"Humph!"

Ino remained aloof, turned his head and said disdainfully: "I am more powerful on the battlefield."

"boast."

The girl didn't believe it, so she scooped up a pool of river water and poured it on Mephisto. Unexpectedly, she picked up some sediment and stuck to his white clothes together with the water.

"Yes...I'm sorry, I..." She suddenly started to tremble as she spoke.

"fine."

Ino pretended not to care and stretched out his hand to erase it.

Of course it couldn't be erased. The girl knew that Mephistopheles had mysophobia and also knew who he was, so she bit her lip lightly and didn't dare to look up.

"You kid..."

Ino was also distressed, not because her clothes were dirty, but because she suddenly realized the difference in their identities.

Ursus never lacks masters, masters and slaves. It is in the society and even more in the hearts of the people.

The atmosphere suddenly dropped.

Ino suddenly felt bored and looked at the time. There was still half an hour before the meeting.

"If you grill fish for me, you can treat it as compensation for my clothes."

He said casually and sat down by the river without any interest, holding his chin in his hands and dazing.

The girl picked up the dagger she carried with her and cut open the fish silently. She was able to cut open a fish in just two or three strokes. She was both capable and skillful.

"Did you kill fish before?"

"Hmm...", the girl nodded slightly and added: "Mom and dad are."

"then you……"

Why are you here?

The next few words were not asked because the question was too stupid. Ino caught a glimpse of the Origin Stone on the girl's arm and stopped talking.

But the girl understood the meaning, wiped the sweat on her head, and said nothing.

After a while, it was probably the last fish. She slowed down the speed of dissecting the fish and mustered up the courage to answer:

"I...I want to help everyone, help my compatriots..."

Ino was stunned by the unexpected answer.

Nice idea, but what they did was not a pretty fairy tale.

After adjusting his tone, Ino pretended to be disdainful and mocked:

"Ha, just you?"

"you……"

The girl got angry and moved her hands for a moment, but then she got discouraged and lowered her head to continue carving up the fish.

"What about you, why did you join the integration movement?" she asked in a low voice.

"I?"

Ino thought for a while.

I remember that I was desperate at that time, and Sasha took me to meet sisters Tallulah and Alina, who took me in.

At first, I just wanted to find a way to survive, but later on, why did I want to become a cadre and get the recognition of Sister Tallulah?

The door to the past was opened, and memories poured out uncontrollably.

It wasn't until the crackling firewood woke him up.

Ino turned around, and in the distance, the girl had already threaded the fish with branches and put it on the firewood to roast.

The water in the fish's body evaporates along with her tears.

I looked at the time and saw that there were still 10 minutes left before I left the meeting. It was still too late to rush over now.

"Hey, you, come here."

Ino called out, and the girl put down the fish in her hand and walked over.

"doing what?"

"Well, let me give you a lecture... If you want to do the same thing as me, you can't just talk about it."

He took out a small booklet he carried with him from his arms, which he compiled by himself, and was called "'L' Thoughts".

The girl didn't know what Mephistopheles wanted, but she couldn't refuse, so she sat next to him and listened to him.

Eno spent half an hour telling three pages, and then told his own story—the story of himself and the book, and the story of “L”:

"I don't know who Mr. L is. We don't know. Maybe Tallulah and Sister Alina know, but they won't tell us."

"I always wanted to know who he was before, but then I stopped thinking about it, because it didn't matter who he was."

Ino suddenly felt something: "I was exactly the same as you before... But you have to understand that we are not the only ones who are bullied, and it is not only the infected people."

"We are compatriots, but I think there needs to be a word that is more trustworthy than compatriots, a wider group of people because we share the same ideals and aspirations."

"Hmm..." Mephistopheles thought hard, "Comrade, how about comrade?"

The girl nodded blankly.

"Haha." Ino saw her stupid look, which was exactly like when he came into contact with "L".

The girl was no longer afraid now, she puffed her face angrily, and then smiled softly.

"Thank you, Mephisto."

"You'd better thank Mr. 'L'."

"Slightly~"

She made a face, and inadvertently noticed the black mud on Mephisto's clothes, and apologized:

"The fish seems inedible, um... can I sing a song to you?"

"Singing?" Ino smiled softly, "Okay, sing."

"Mephisto want to sing along?"

"No, I listen to you sing."

"it is good."

The girl cleared her throat, and the song soon filled the small forest.

Ino closed her eyes and immersed herself in it, swaying slightly to the rhythm.

Singing is such a distant word, just like before.

The first time I grew up was when I realized after that incident that I could no longer sing.

The second time I grew up was when I read that book and gave up the idea of ​​revenge against those people.

Yes, I am no longer a crying child hiding behind Sasha.

I am Mephistopheles - Mephistopheles of the Integral Movement.

Ino opened her eyes.

The song ended, and the girl ran to the entrance of the woods at some point.

"Mephisto, I will definitely join the Integration Movement!"

She shouted decisively, laughed twice, and left here with brisk steps.

When she disappeared, Ino hurriedly stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and ran towards the meeting place.

Maybe the meeting was over, maybe Sister Tallulah was angry.

Maybe he will be dismissed, maybe he will let them down.

Between attending an important meeting and planting the seed of a girl, Ino chose the latter.

But he has no regrets, and even in the face of the possibility of facing a lot of criticism and punishment, his steps become a little more cheerful.

Ino was happy.

I was so happy that I couldn’t stop thinking: "If it were "L"..."

Thinking... He suddenly stopped, bent down, and slowly picked up a book that was half buried in the soil.

"He will definitely choose this way."

Mephisto murmured.

On the cover of the book are engraved a few words - "Bolshevik Manifesto", written by "L"

Chapter 31 A Great Gift

The meeting went on for a long time.

The patriots have also been standing guard, standing on the highest hill, motionless from morning to dusk.

He stood there with the setting sun on his back, like a mountain.

"Old man." Shuangxing sat down next to him.

"It's been a while."

"Ah, Mephistopheles brought something, and the meeting has been temporarily extended."

"That child?"

"He's not young anymore," Shuangxing suddenly felt a little emotional: "Although I always feel like he's still the same kid before... Why are you staring at me?"

Patriot looked away.

"Same for you." He said calmly, even though he knew Yelena would be angry.

"Huh, stubborn old man..."

Froststar muttered and gave Patriot's armor a hard kick to vent his dissatisfaction.

After the kick, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

"That's great." She said sincerely.

"The organization has improved, 'L' is back, and the future is not about taking it one step at a time."

"And you, me, Tallulah... none of us are missing, not one of us..."
