When they saw the faces of the people in front of them clearly, Li Ge and Si Lei's expressions became solemn - as Si Lei had just expected, this place was full of the deceased. They were neatly dressed and looked natural, as if they were old friends. Come up.
"Ms. Rico, Officer Si Lei!" A young man greeted the two of them with a smile, "Ah, Gustave! You are back!"
This sound made Gustave tremble. He raised his head and felt his whole body stiffen.
"Where have you been? How come you were so seriously injured!?" Dietrich stepped forward quickly, "Did you hurt your eyes -"
Before Dietrich could finish speaking, Gustav had already pushed him away violently. This sudden change attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant, including the two government rescue workers who were waiting here.
Gustav staggered back. Although his vision could no longer distinguish the details three meters away, he recognized Dietrich's voice almost immediately. Gustav glanced briefly at the Bishop's Restaurant at this moment. Although he couldn't see the faces of those people clearly, from their voices calling him, he at least heard Bree and Ashley...
"Gustave," Si Lei quickly grabbed his wrist, "Don't panic, calm down, Qianye just said we can wait here until-"
"They are all fake, Officer Si Lei!!" Gustav screamed, "They are all fake!! You must not stay in this place, this place!!"
"Calm down first—"
Gustave, who was in fear, seemed to suddenly have a lot of strength. He struggled to break free, quickly shook off Si Lei's hand, and ran out as if to escape for his life. Si Lei immediately chased after Gustave.
Li Ge stood there, dumbfounded. She quickly turned the direction of her wheelchair and pushed Hesta out the door - Si Lei was already more than ten meters away.
"You're crazy Si Lei! Come back!" Li Ge shouted sharply, "Qianye just said not to run around, did you hear it?"
Si Lei, who was running, slowed down a little. She turned around and said, "Don't worry about me, you take Hesta and wait here!"
…
In the dark and unlit corridor, the searchlights that flashed from time to time outside the window seemed particularly bright. Whenever a beam of light swept across the nearby windows and the sea, Gustav was like a moth rushing to the flame. He rushed to the window and used He slapped the glass window with all his strength and cried for help.
Si Lei was unable to catch up, the calming effect of the medicine was still continuing, and she had to stop and take a deep breath every once in a while.
"Gustave... stop... you have... gone too far..."
"Rescue is coming! Officer Si Lei, look at the sky! There is a helicopter!"
Si Lei raised his head and saw that half of Gustav's body had turned out of the window. He was holding on to the window sill with one hand and waving his arms toward the sky with the other hand. Rain poured in from the window. Gustav shouted to the heights, every time Every sentence was drowned by the sea breeze.
"Come back..." Si Lei stood up and continued to approach Gustav. She slowed down her movements, fearing that her actions would scare him. However, just when she was about to catch Gustav, he Suddenly he let go of his hand and stood completely outside the window.
Si Lei rushed to the window and leaned forward to look - just a step or two away from the window, Gustav was leaning against the hull of the boat, his feet stepping on the outer edge about three or four centimeters wide, a little Move bit by bit towards the bow.
Although the rain has subsided much, the sea swell is still there.
"Gustav!" Si Lei also turned half of her body out of the window. She stretched out her hand toward Gustav, "Give me your hand!"
Gustav kept looking at the night sky with a happy smile on his face. He stared at the hovering patrol plane and turned a deaf ear to everything else.
Si Lei glanced down with some worry. The scene in front of her stunned her - countless soldiers were boarding the ship from all directions. Each of them was armed with live ammunition. The soldiers were like a black storm attacking the inside of the ship. The influx seemed like an orderly military operation.
Where did these people come from...Are they also from the rescue team?
Suddenly, a hail of bullets hit the ship deck between Si Lei and Gustav. Si Lei instinctively dodged aside, and then immediately looked towards where the bullets came from: an unknown helicopter hanging above her head. At some point the side door was opened, and the muzzle of a machine gun stuck out.
——What kind of rescue team is this... Why are they shooting at ordinary passengers! ?
"Gustav!" Si Lei shouted, "Are you still there!"
"...Here," Gustav's voice was filled with tears again, "Help me..."
"Give me your hand!" Si Lei held the window frame with her left hand and quickly turned over. She tried her best to stretch her body to the limit and tried to grab Gustav's hand. However, there was always a gap between the two. Some distance away.
"Go back a little bit! Just go a little bit further! I'll hold you back!"
"I was wrong, Officer Si Lei, I know, I am guilty..."
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Give me your hand first and don't think about anything else!"
"...But I have never done anything harmful to the world. I am different from them. Every time I do those tasks...it is because I know it is a trial, so I dare to do it...I really, I I haven’t told anyone else...do you believe me, can you trust me, Officer Si Lei?"
"I believe it!" Si Lei reached out to Gustav again, "Listen to me, don't think about anything, give me your hand first!"
Gustav tried to suppress his sobs. He moved slowly towards Si Lei. Their fingertips were almost touching. Si Lei was concentrating on the hand in front of him, as if time had changed. Slowly, the noise of the sea also faded away - until a dazzling spark splashed again.
This time the bullets came from the ground deck. At first, three bullets penetrated Gustav's left and right shoulders and lower abdomen at the same time. Then, another one passed through his right cheek and left a mark on his left temporal lobe. Next bit of blood flower. It seemed that before Gustave had time to feel the pain, the only remaining eye dimmed.
There was some disbelief and even some curiosity on the corpse's face. Then, it slowly tilted outward and fell rapidly.
Si Lei froze on the spot.
Another round of bullets was fired in Si Lei's direction. Si Lei felt someone lift him up from behind and leap into the air. She looked at Gustav, who was still falling. The young man's body fell straight on the deck, making a moderate dull impact. Black blood spread from under him, and several soldiers gathered around him.
Immediately afterwards, Si Lei also began to fall downwards.
"Take a breath!" a voice said in her ear.
Si Lei did so.
The next moment, the cold water flooded her head.
