Chapter 6. Negotiation.
November 24, 2023 at 6:32 AM
Meanwhile, Grad
and Monocle met with Mimosa, at the Whites' base.
-A what?! Mimosa
shouted, stunned.
- What I’ve heard.
Grad said.
“Are you completely?!”
Do you understand what you’re saying and who you’re threatening?!
“Listen
here!” We can put you all here without batting an eyelid! Hail raised his
tone.
“you!”
Silently, Grad
took out the grana and pulled the pin out of it.
“What are you
doing?!” Mimosa shouted.
“If you don’t
agree, I’ll let you go, and we’ll all lie down here, and in hell the Soulless
One will explain to you who the hell is going on here.”
“Are you
scaring me with a corpse?!”
- I’m talking
about the facts. My fingers are getting tired, so think fast or you’re all
going to fucking die here.
“We helped
you then, and now you’re talking like that?!”
“They might
not have helped, but then your Sakura would have died even then.” So what?
Mimosa pondered,
and Grad slowly began to unextend his fingers.
-Wait! We agree!
Mimosa shouted.
Grad put the pin
back in, and Monocle took out the contract. After the contract was signed in
blood, Grad and Monocle returned to the car.
“For a
second, I thought the Soulless One had possessed you. Monocle said.
“I learned
something from him. Grad replied and started the car.
Monocle and Grad
returned to base. Hail went somewhere, and Monocle went to the Soulless,
entering the chamber, Sakura jumped up.
-Settle down.
Monocle said and sat down on a chair beside the bed, “Come out.” — he
added.
Sakura silently
left the room, and Monocle stood up and bowed, then sat down and spoke.
- I’m sorry that I
didn’t bow right away, I forgot. I don’t even know where to start… We were
with the “whites”, now they are below us. Hail, as usual, mate
through mate, but the grenade helped to solve the issue. So far, everything is
calm. I don’t know what you’re seeing now, but I hope you’ll come back to us
soon and we’ll figure it out. Thank you for getting me out of this room. I, and
not only me, missed you. Relax and come back to us. After Monocle finished
speaking, he stood up and walked out, being stopped by Sakura by grabbing his
sleeve.
-A what? Monocle
asked.
-What did you do?
“Your dogs
have been crushed, don’t be afraid, no one has been killed. Monocle said,
pulling up his sleeve so that Sakura would let him go, and Sakura returned to
the room and sat down in a chair and said:
“So you’ve
taken it all now…
Sakura took the
blanket and rolled it up several times and tried to strangle the Soulless. A
few seconds later, the Shore and the Mouse ran into the room.
“What are you
doing?!” Shore shouted.
Sakura didn’t say
anything. They grabbed her by the arms and dragged her away. Mouse pulled out a
pistol and pointed it at Sakura.
-Wait! She
shouted.
Bereg lowered the
Mouse’s pistol with his hand and said:
- You’ve got two
seconds.
“Did you go
headlong on the shore?!” She tried to kill him!
-Hold on. If that
I help dig the hole.
“Nitpicking,
bitch!”
-I… I… I didn’t
want to! Really! I didn’t want to! Don’t kill! Beat them, do what they want,
but don’t kill or tell the Grad! Please!
“What’s the
matter?” Don’t kill?! And what was it now?! Mouse shouted.
“Mouse, let’s
go.”
The mouse snorted
at the Shores, but came out.
“So
what?”
-Vide.
The shore opened
the door. Sakura sat for a while, then sat down on a chair, dropped her head on
Soulless’s chest, and began to cry and say:
-Forgive me…
Forgive me… I’m sorry…
-What?.. Mouse
asked.
The shore closed
the door.
“She’s a
jerk!” Mouse whispered.
- His job. Did you
hear the screams?
- No, but
according to the stories, the howling was from the heart.
-That’s it.
“What if she
kills him?”
- It won’t kill
you. Hail told her not to touch it until she threw something away.
“And
this?”
- There was
nothing missing.
- Yes, the Hail
will kill us!
- It won’t kill
you.
- Bitch. If I’m
going to kill you faster!
“Okay, now
let’s go, we’ve got more to do.”
A month passed.
All this time, the Player was trying to find the “Reds”, and the
“Blacks” were deciding what to do next. And then one day the Player
came to the Hail, by that time he had already returned.
-Can? The player
asked.
-Come in.
“I found a
few escaped Reds here.
-Rather.
“They’re out
of the clan,” The Gambler didn’t have time to finish when Grad interrupted
him.
-Gang.
-Yes. Gang. So
they’re gone, they’re still alive, but a few of the escapees are already dead.
- How long has it
been?
“The latter
was killed twelve hours ago. The Cleaners are already there.
- Have you already
sent the information to ours?
-Not yet. I’m
waiting for your decision.
-Send. What’s up
with the Soulless?
- I’m still in a
coma.
- What does Block
say?
- Stable, but can
die at any time. Lidocaine says that Sakura doesn’t leave him, some drugs are
dripping.
Hail sighed
heavily and said:
-Got it… Send it
to ours and let them decide.
-Ok.
Meanwhile,
Lidocaine (One of Blok’s assistants) came to the Soulless One’s room.
-Everything is
fine? He asked Sakura.
-Yes.
-Ok. He said and
began to change the drip.
- May I ask a
question?
-Yes.
- Can I get a bed,
it’s not comfortable to sleep on an armchair for a long time.
- It’s not for me.
- Please you can
ask, otherwise they won’t even listen to me.
- Does your back
hurt a lot?
-Yes.
- Stand up, turn
your back, and lift your clothes.
Sakura did as
Lidocaine said, he finished changing the IV and walked over to Sakura.
- Hmm…
-What the?
- How long have
you slept like this?
- Several months.
-Lower. Okay,
let’s decide. Lidocaine said and headed for the exit.
-Thank you.
- Not yet.
Lidocaine went to
Monocle, he knocked on the door and asked:
-Can?
-Yes.
Lidocaine walked
into the office and said:
- Do we have an
extra bed?
- Why would you?
“The one who
watches over the Soulless One needs a bed, or not much more, and she’ll lie
down in a layer.
“Can I give
her some more oysters?” No.
“I
understand, but we won’t be able to survive if something happens to her.
“Don’t
forget, she’s only here because there aren’t enough people. And we can only
take the bed from you, and where will we put those who are wounded?
“I don’t
know, but if you don’t take action, you’ll have to put another body down, and
there are no seats.
“And what do
you propose?”
Lidocaine thought
for a moment.
-Well… Let him
lie on the same bed with him.
- Definitely not.
Let him sleep on the floor.
- You can’t
either. I swore an oath to Hippocrates. To save and help everyone without
exception.
“How did you
end up here?”
- Long history.
“She’s the
enemy. Are you suggesting that the enemy should be placed near him? He’ll come
out of his coma tomorrow, and here she is, and what do you think he’ll do to us
for that?
- I understand
that it is risky, but it will only get worse.
Monocle put down
his handle, leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, and said:
-Going?
- I don’t smoke.
Monocle thought
for a moment.
- How bad is it
there?
-Very bad. If this
continues, the consequences can be lethal.
-Lethal? Monocle
thought even harder.
- “First the
Hail will kill me, then the Soulless.” Monocle thought.
“I’ll have to
think about it, but in the meantime, tell me how you got here.”
- Is it mandatory?
-Yes.
-Okay. Yes, just
like everyone else. He didn’t touch anyone, and then one day he was walking
down the street, saw that the girl had been attacked, so he decided to
intervene, and the attacker had a knife, and then there was a fight, well, he
accidentally stabbed him, and he died. A patrol was passing by, they jumped out
and twisted me. The girl tried to explain, but, oh, how can I explain, there is
blood on my hands. Then they let me go until I was cleared up, and then the
Soulless One came and offered to arrange my death, but I would join him, and I
did not want to go to prison and agreed, I had nothing to lose. Something like
that.
- The cleanest of
them all.
- In the plan.
“We all have
corpses hanging over us, and other kinds of crimes. Someone accidentally
climbed, someone deliberately because they want to eat everyone, and then like
you. Soulless, suggestion, agreement.
- Were there those
who refused?
- Most likely,
yes.
- As far as I
understand, they are no longer there.
- No wonder you
studied to be a doctor, your head is boiling.
“Won’t I be
killed for finding out?”
- As long as
everyone is alive.
-Got it. So what to
do?
-Okay. Let him lie
down with him, but keep in mind that the idea is yours, so we’ll fall into the
same hole.
Lidocaine tensed,
but nodded and walked away.
- Should I write a
will in advance? Monocle said.
Lidocaine returned
to the room and said:
- Lie down next to
him. That’s all we have to offer.
Sakura was taken
aback, but said:
- S-Thank you.
“Mind you, if
you hurt me, we won’t bat an eyelid.”
- I promise that
everything will be fine.
Lidocaine walked
out of the room and thought:
- “I wish I
had time to blink…”
After the Player
sent the information, everyone began to act, but did not have time. The
fugitives were eliminated faster than the “blacks” got to them. And
so the main fighters gathered to discuss the plan of action.
- I don’t
understand how they are faster than us? The forester asked.
- And who is the
head of them? Bereg asked.
- I don’t know.
Monocle said.
“And what are
we going to do?” The king asked.
“There are
only two of them left, so that—” Before Monocle could finish, Blok came
into the office.
-Excuse me. Can?
-Yes? Monocle
said.
- I congratulate
us. He’s alive.
A few minutes
before. Sakura was asleep beside the Soulless One when suddenly.
“Mmm,”
mumbled the Soulless.
Sakura lifted her
head sharply.
-Hey… Are you
awake?
“Tsk,”
Soulless said with his eyes closed. Then he turned his head in the direction of
the sound and opened his eyes.
“Vika,”
said the Soulless One and closed his eyes.
-Hey! Hey! Hey!
Don’t close your eyes.
“Hmm… Even
in the last dream, your head hurts…
- You’re alive!
Alive!
-Yes?.. Not
good… Get off me…
Sakura jumped out
of bed. Soulless tried to come to his senses.
-Where am I?..
- At your base.
Sakura said in a trembling voice.
-Survived… I
told you to shut up…
- Yes, but… I…
-Shut up…
Soulless looked
around and saw that he had a needle sticking out of his hand. Without
hesitation, he pulled it out.
- There’s medicine
in there.
- Zat-kni-s…
Soulless sealed
the hole from the game with a band-aid that held the needle. And he tried to
get up, but he couldn’t, then Sakura supported him by the back and Soulless sat
down on the bed, he looked around, he was covered in Sakura’s white hair.
Shaking himself off, he said:
- Dogs shed
less…
Running his hand
from his forehead to his chin, he said:
- How long have I
been lying?..
- A couple of
months.
-Winter?
-Yes.
-Cigarettes…
“You can’t.
Soulless looked at
Sakura with an angry look. He tried to get out of bed, but his legs wouldn’t
budge. Sakura caught him and said:
-All right all
right. But where can I get them?
- Jeans, right
pocket…
Sakura opened the
nightstand and took out Soulless' belongings. Finding her jeans, she pulled out
a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. The whole pack was riddled with bullet
holes. Handing the cigarettes and lighter to the Soulless, he said:
“Hmm… It’s
a good thing they didn’t hit the lighter…” After these words he lit a
cigarette.
“How are
you?”
-That’s all
right… What are you doing here?
“I was told
to keep an eye on you.
- Keep an eye out
for comatose people?..
-Yes.
-Okay…
“I’ll call
someone.”
-Wait.
-A what?
-Do not…
At that moment,
Lidocaine entered the room and stood in a stupor.
“Why does he
smoke?!”
“I—”
Sakura couldn’t say before Soulless interrupted.
- Lidocaine, come here…
Lidocaine
approached, bowed, and said:
“How are
you?”
-Hand…
Lidocaine held out
his hand. Soulless put out his cigarette on her and said:
-Shut up…
“Ahh I got
it. Forgive me.
- Put away the
medical supplies and call Block…
-I got it! “Lidocaine
ran away.
“You’re going
to stand like that?..
Sakura sat down on
a chair.
- Sit on the
bed…
Sakura nodded and
sat down on the bed.
“You’re a
stupid fool. They tell you to shut up, you keep yelling.
-Forgive me.
-Again… Your
apologies won’t help me in the next world…
Blok ran into the
room.
“W-how are
you?” He said quietly.
-That’s all right.
“Is everyone
here?”
“Y-yes. In
your office.
-Shoes.
- You need bed
rest.
-Got it. Go to
them and tell them that I am resurrected.
-I got it.
Blok ran away, and
Soulless said:
“The main
hall, do you know where?”
-Yes.
-Let’s go.
“N-but…
Soulless tried to
stand up on his own, but he couldn’t do it, so Sakura jumped up and took
Soulless by the arm.
“Forever,
you…
-Yes. Soulless interrupted
her, and with his free hand they walked to the hall. Upon reaching it, Soulless
sat down on a small couch while Sakura continued to stand.
-Sit down.
- I congratulate
us. He’s alive. Please don’t shout.
-A what!? It rang
out in the office. Everyone jumped out of their seats and headed for the ward,
only to see Soulless sitting on the couch with Sakura hiding behind him.
Everyone ran up to him and bowed.
- You’re alive!
Shore shouted. For which he received a blow in the side with his elbow from the
Tsar. The shore hissed in displeasure.
- Monocle —
whiskey, Tsar — car, Mouse — clothes, Forester — Weapons, Lidocaine — head
pills.
“You—”
Shore tried to say.
- Ten seconds.
Everyone bowed and
ran, and those who remained stood silently. And when Monocle brought a glass
filled with whiskey, the Soulless One drank it all in one gulp and said:
“Now tell
me.”
“We’ve found
the escaped Reds, but they’re being removed faster than we can get to them, Bee
and Nat have escaped, Grad is back, the Whites are under our control. Monocle
said.
-All?
- I think so.
“Were you in
charge here?”
-Yes.
-Got it.
The King and the
Mouse came running and said:
- The machine is
ready.
- Only a jacket is
a piece of clothing.
Then Lidocaine and
Forester came running. The Forester gave the Soulless One’s weapon, and
Lidocaine gave him the pills for his head. Soulless took the weapon and
swallowed the pill. Then he turned to Sakura and said:
- You’re with me.
Then he looked at his men and added:
- And you prepare
the bags.
Sakura was
frightened, but didn’t fight back. As Soulless and Sakura got into the car,
Sakura said:
- Where to go?
- I’ll tell you.
So far, straightforward.
When they arrived,
there was a ruined building. Soulless opened the door and crawled out of the
car. Sakura turned off the car and ran over to Soulless.
-Where to?
- To the basement.
They reached the
basement. Soulless opened the door of metal bars and began to descend the
steps, holding on to the walls. Sakura followed him. Soulless walked to the
door, then pushed aside one of the bricks, dialed the code, and the door
opened.
-Where are we?
Sakura asked.
Soulless turned on
the light. Sakura realized that it was the same bar.
“Mmm,”
Soulless drawled, and walked to the bar. He had nothing to woo for, so he fell.
Sakura ran over to him and helped him up.
“To the
table?”
- Bar counter.
Sakura helped me
to the bar. Soulless came in and took out two glasses and three bottles:
Whiskey, Rum and Vodka.
- Take me to the
table behind you.
Sakura made a disgruntled
face, but took the bottles and glasses and placed them on the table. Soulless
began to walk slowly to the table. Sakura noticed this and, in order to prevent
another fall, helped to walk. Soulless sat down as he did then, and Sakura sat
against. Soulless opened a bottle of whiskey and poured it into glasses.
-You sure?
-Yes.
“What if you
die?”
- Then your goal
is achieved.
-A what?
“Your goal is
my death. So drink.
Sakura took the
glass, picked it up, and drank half of it.
-Abomination…
How do you drink it?
- That’s how I
drink. Soulless said and drank it all in one gulp.
- At least you
should have put on shoes, but the way you went out without shoes and in
T-shirts, so you went.
Soulless filled
his glasses.
- What is all this
for?
- Because I want
to.
“You’re still
the same even on the verge of death.
-Yes. And you
don’t.
“What do you
mean?”
-Drink.
Sakura drank it
all in one gulp.
-F…
Soulless emptied
his glass and said:
“You’ve
changed and you’ve done stupid things. You could have killed me so many times,
but you didn’t. You’re the place to fix things in the ward, the place to stop
Rosa, you’ve gone to other countries and now you’ve been crippled and she’s
dead.
“And you ran
away.”
“If I wanted
to escape, I wouldn’t be there. The bridge would be intact, and you would be
dead.
“So you’ve
always been one step ahead of the rest of the planet?”
- Eight.
“And Rose’s
death?”
-Guessed.
- And that’s all.
-Assumed.
- But it didn’t
help.
- Corpses don’t
help.
“He brought
me and the Bee and made us his dogs, and I’m afraid to imagine with Nat.
-Yes. And now this
dog sits and drinks with me.
- Did I have a
choice?
- It’s always
there.
- Play by your
rules or die?
-Hmm. Yes.
-You will. Moral
freak.
-Yes. Who you’ve
slept with twice.
“That was the
only way!” Sakura raised her voice.
-Place. Don’t
forget that you’re still my dog.
Sakura lowered her
head.
“You see.
“Otherwise,
you’ll kill me, and then everyone else.”
- Sacrificing
oneself for the sake of others?
-Yes…
“You don’t
think with your head, and you’re also a sucker for feelings.
- What are you
talking about?
- About you. First
she jumped on me, then she came to me to ask for help and jumped on me again, and
then she sat next to me although she could have left, and in the end she even
lay down on my bed. Don’t you think your enemies don’t behave like that?
- How else can I
ask you for help?
“I said, 'Get
interested, ' not 'Spread your legs.'
“But at the
end of the day, you’re here.
“Do you think
I’m here for you, or the Bees?” Or Rose’s death? –No. I wondered how bad
it was that you fell to your knees. The situation itself, but not you.
“Did you just
use me?”
-Yes. Just used.
-Monster.
-Yes. But you’re
too greedy. To agree to be a dog is up.
“Do you think
I feel something for you?”
-Yes I know.
“You’re an
asshole!” Narcissistic!
-No.
-Yes.
Soulless took out
a pistol, pulled out all the cartridges, then loaded one and held it to his
head.
-Wait!
-You see.
- Get the gun away
from your head!
-No.
“Take it
away, please!”
-No.
Soulless began to
strain his finger. Sakura jumped up and pointed her gun at the ceiling.
Soulless fired. The bullet hit the ceiling.
-Fool!
- Let go of your
hand.
- Give me the gun.
Soulless relaxed
his hand and Sakura took the gun and returned to her seat.
- It’s simple. You
succumbed to your emotions, put a bunch of people down, and when you realized
that the situation was getting out of control, you came to me as a last resort.
With the thought that I have changed and will come to your aid.
“Why did you
lock me up then?!” Sakura shouted. Tears began to flow from her eyes.
-Wanted. I knew
you’d scream even if I told you not to. So you killed me.
- Don’t say
that… Don’t tell me!
-Idiots. You’re
before you do anything. Understand yourself.
“But you…
“What about
me?” I am not God, I am mortal, I am not all mighty.
“You put
people down for the sake of the load, and I did the same for the well-being of
the others, but you are the hero and I am the murderer.
- You put people
down for the sake of: Money, power, fame, but not for the idea and purpose.
Soulless said and filled his glasses.
- In your
perverted worldview, are your goals more important than the good of others?
- If that’s all,
except: Money, power, fame. Even if it was all for the sake of my death, then
please, but as it is, you have fallen to the bottom.
Sakura emptied her
glass and said:
-You are ugly. For
whom the world is wrapped around you.
The soulless one
drank and said:
“Not around
me, not around you, not in the circle of anybody. I walk over corpses to
achieve my goal. I got it and left, and you moved on.
“You didn’t
leave, you ran away.
“You’re
getting bolder.” Before that, she screamed, asked for help, and now she
has returned back to heaven.
“Am I in
heaven?!” You’re killing your own people! Only because they didn’t follow
your orders!
“That’s what
the order is for.
- They’re human
too!
“They’re
corpses. They’re all dead. I’m the only one alive, and I’ve tried to live as
usual.
- For what? Why
are the other slaves in your “game” and you are the king and God?
-Interest.
- What is it all
for? What if you die and don’t get an education?
- I already have
it.
- In the plan?
- Money rules the
world.
- Did you buy a diploma?
-Yes. All the
same, I knew both theory and practice even before I entered.
“But you
didn’t work at all.
- I had money.
-Were?
“Where did I
get all this from?”
-Stole.
-Bought. You can
buy everything in the world.
- You won’t buy
respect and love.
-Love? Your
parents love you for free, and you can buy a relationship.
- And they will be
as long as you have money, and not as long as you have money and that’s it. You
are not needed.
- When they buy
this, I know that they need a lot of money.
- You’re unbreakable.
- Just like you.
“At least I’m
trying to understand you.
- You can’t do it.
- You’re the same
as everyone else, you just think a little differently.
The soulless one
filled the glasses and said:
-Really? Come on.
Understand me.
Sakura hesitated,
but then gathered her thoughts and began to speak.
- You are a
soulless scum who thinks that the world revolves around you, you don’t care
about others and yourself, you try to achieve your goals and it doesn’t matter
to you how many people die, and when the goal is achieved, you leave and your
conscience does not torment you. You don’t have friends, acquaintances,
girlfriends.
-All?
-Yes.
- You’ve guessed
ten percent.
- Where am I
wrong?
“I had
friends, and now they’re my enemies. I count how many people I’ve lost, the
world doesn’t revolve around me, and I know it.
- Do you have
friends? Who are these psychos?
-Panic.
-Panic?!
“Now he’s the
head of the Reds, who almost killed you then.
Sakura hesitated,
her mind was full of thoughts, and finally she said:
- How’s that?
“Panic and I
have known each other for a decade. Do you think I’ve always been like this?
-Think so…
-No. I was just
like everyone else until they stuck a knife in me. Then I decided to take
revenge, and then I realized that people are evil, and then you know.
-But… But… But
what happened to you? You can’t be normal and then become like you.
-Can. When the
only thing you do is kill.
“But you
showed emotion then, you screamed for the first time in a long time.
- I wanted to be
an actor.
-You will… Did
he feign anger?
-Yes.
“But
why?”
- To achieve your
goal.
-What?
“You don’t
need to know that.
- No, I don’t.
You’re talkative today, so answer me.
- Before they die,
everyone says what is in their head, what they wanted to say, but couldn’t.
“With-death?”
You didn’t survive long ago…
- This will be my
one-way ticket.
“What are you
up to?!” Tell!
-No.
Sakura grabbed the
glass and emptied it. The soulless one calmly took the glass and drank it all
in one gulp.
“What can I do
to tell me what you’re up to?”
Soulless opened a
bottle of vodka and rum, then mixed all three and pushed the glass to Sakura,
then closed the bottles and said.
-Drink.
- Wait, how do you
drink it? It’s death.
-No.
“You’re
trying to get me drunk again.” I won’t drink it.
“Have a drink
and I’ll tell you.”
Sakura thought for
a moment and drank it all in one gulp. Her face twisted, but Sakura rubbed it
with her hands, and it returned to normal.
-Here… Is there
a toilet?
-Yes.
- Answer the
question.
- It’s simple, I’m
interested.
- That’s not the
answer!
Sakura’s eyes
began to swim. Soulless drank it all in one gulp without batting an eyelid.
- How do you drink
so much?
-Simply.
-About… That
you’re… Ass-thought? Sakura’s tongue began to tangle.
-No problem.
“You’re
lying…” Sakura covered her face with her hands and added:
- I feel bad…
Soulless then
poured a glass of whiskey and shoved it to Sakura.
-Drink. It will
pass.
-N… No.
-Drink.
Sakura pulled out
a pistol, pointed it at Soulless, and mumbled.
-No…
- It’s empty.
“Bitch,”
Sakura said and picked up her glass, emptying it somehow, she said:
-Not… Helped…
-Hold on.
And indeed, after
a while, Sakura felt better. The nausea was gone, but the intoxication was
still there. Sakura sat with her head propped up in her hand.
-You will… A
bastard who… Killed a bunch of people for some cargo… And then he kidnapped
