Rico leaned over suddenly, and the two crossbow arrows almost missed Gustav's scalp and flew over, immediately cutting off two strands of his long curly hair. With two muffled sounds in succession, Hesta saw that the arrow body was almost completely submerged into the wall, leaving only a fingernail-sized end outside.
Si Lei drew her pistol, but everything around her changed so quickly that she didn't realize where the enemy was. The narrow corridor fell silent again.
Rico's feet slowly adjusted their direction, and she listened intently, her face always facing the source of the suspicious sound.
"Do you want to transfer?" Si Lei asked softly.
"You take Bree away," Rico said softly, "Jane and Gustave stay here."
"No, I have to stay."
"Why, so many people tend to distract me."
"Just treat me as if I don't exist," Si Lei tried to search the surroundings with his eyes, "I bear the risk myself."
"Okay, you said it yourself..." Li Guo's voice trailed off, and her brows furrowed more and more tightly. She heard an unsettling beep coming from far away, "Be careful of the pipe!"
The metal pipes installed against the wall suddenly began to vibrate at a very high frequency. They have been abandoned. The new pipes do not pass through here, but the old pipes here have not been dismantled. Countless foreign objects are violently inside the pipes. Collision—including the one with Bree on the leash.
Bree felt the vibrations from the chain in horror. Although his mouth was sealed with tape, he still let out a heart-rending whine. He looked at Si Lei with a strong pleading look in his eyes. .
Before Si Lei could secure the key, the pipes a few meters above her suddenly exploded with a deafening sound. The neat and sharp fractures took advantage of the residual power of the explosion to ricochet around, wedged into the floor, ceiling and walls at various angles. The huge vibration caused Si Lei to lose his balance immediately, and the key fell to the ground, sliding as the entire floor tilted. Toward the edge of the wall.
——The building they were in was shaking.
"Damn it -" Si Lei grasped the raised wall on the side and followed the key closely. However, she immediately heard a string of almost pathological laughter - two pieces of broken pipe fell on Bree's head without any bias. Between his hands and feet, he cut off his bracelets and anklets.
The ecstasy of regaining freedom did not last long. Bree tore off the tape on his mouth in embarrassment, and his breathing became more intense. He stood up tremblingly, and his eyes became blank again. Crossing Hesta, closely following Rico, who was still dodging various dangers, "Help me...save me too!"
"What do you mean, are you in danger too?" Hesta's voice came from behind.
"It's coming to kill me..." Bree screamed desperately, "It's coming to kill me!"
"Please wake up!" Si Lei grabbed Bree's collar, "What's going to kill you... It's only been one day now -"
"What's the date today!? What's the date today!?"
"The 19th," Hesta replied, "the 20th soon."
Tears welled up in Bree's eyes. He leaned against the wall, his muscles all over his body relaxed again, and a series of inaudible whispers came out of his throat. Suddenly, another crossbow arrow was shattered just inches from his head. brick wall.
Bree was stunned. He raised his head slightly and stared ferociously at the short arrow that almost killed him. A bit of gravel and ash fell down and sprinkled on his forehead, which seemed to make his whole body numb. Became a stone statue.
Immediately afterwards, Bree suddenly stood up on his hands and knees.
"You will die on your own... don't hold me..." He murmured and turned the shackles on his wrists to fix them above his forearms, "I am the one who wants to last until the end -"
"Don't move." Si Lei pointed the gun at Bree's head, "Squat down."
"Okay...squat down, squat down..."
Bree raised his hands, trying to squat, but the next moment, he suddenly jumped up and bumped into Si Lei. Hesta looked at this scene - the moment Bree pounced, Si Lei's first reaction He actually moved the muzzle of the gun subconsciously.
Bree bumped into Si Lei's nose again. Si Lei was so painful that he couldn't speak. In the confusion, Bree spotted Si Lei's weapon. He grabbed the butt of the gun with both hands and snatched the pistol directly into his own hand.
The situation suddenly reversed.
Bree's eyes were red, and he pointed his gun at Si Lei on the ground. This victory came too easily——
"Do you want me to take action, Officer Si Lei?" Hestad's voice sounded again, startling Bree, and his gun immediately turned to Hestad.
"Point a gun at a mercury needle. I think you are crazy."
Bree gritted his teeth and turned the gun back to Si Lei. He couldn't understand the situation in front of him. Hasn't this Hesta been in a wheelchair? Why can he walk normally again...
There was a violent impact not far away, and Bree, like a frightened bird, once again pointed his gun at the source of the sound - Rico was still chasing Gustave with a shadow whose outline could not be seen clearly, but regardless of whether it was Rico. He couldn't even aim at the black shadow.
"That's enough -!" Bray screamed hysterically, and he took a few steps back, "You crazy women... you are all crazy... crazy! I've had enough..."
"Put down the gun," Si Lei said with a burning gaze, "Put, gun, put down——"
"Bang!" A bullet hit not far from Si Lei, completely interrupting Si Lei's words.
Bree's eyes kept switching between Si Lei and Li Ge in the distance - Li Ge's movements looked very light, and could even be described as effortless. The black shadow attacked around her for a long time, but could never catch up with her.
Bree was caught in a fierce struggle.
Killing Si Lei now can certainly help him escape temporarily...
But this completely breaks with these two mercury needles.
Who knows if any of the remaining thorn monks will be unlucky enough to come to him as a guarantor after receiving those fateful invitations - he escaped this time, but what about next time?
If Rico and the others have begun to plan a head-on battle with the chelates on the ship, then tomorrow night, can he also apply for a mercury needle to protect himself, just like Gustave now...
"I won't embarrass you, officer," Bree's tone was a little more polite, "I brought you here, you sentenced me - let's just say it's fine between us, okay? No one wants it. Who is in trouble..."
"Give me my gun back!"
"Shut up, crazy woman!" Veins popped up on Bree's forehead, "Don't force me!"
Bree stumbled back. He took one last look at Rico, who was still fighting with the enemy in the distance, and finally turned around completely and ran away without looking back.
Si Lei didn't chase her. She stood there and watched Bree's fleeing figure with strong anger and frustration. She didn't know what happened to her just now. How could she be so confused that such a person would take away her pendant? gun?
Hesta looked at her sympathetically.
