【……】
The numbers on the retina were flashing wildly, and the countdown to death was refreshing at an alarming speed.
God didn't seem to hear his plea, but instead evaporated his balance at a faster rate.
Four seconds, four seconds, and another four seconds, and it kept falling down!
I can’t escape! I can’t escape!
So, I am going to die, am I really going to die? ! !
Anger and unwillingness were like poison ivy, entwining his heart and making his heart beat faster and faster, as if it were alive.
Bang! …(interval) …. Bang! ….(interval shortened) …. Bang! — Bang! — Bang!
The heartbeat rate increased from 1 beat per 10 seconds, 1 beat per 9 seconds, 1 beat per 8 seconds, 1 beat per 7 seconds... to 1 beat per second.
The long-lost thumping sound like that of a normal person made Feng Ju feel as if he was really... alive again.
But the reality is, he is about to die.
Completely dead? ! !
From birth to death is called death, then what is from death to death?
Feng Ju didn’t know the answer, and didn’t want to find out.
"No--!!!"
Feng Ju rushed out of the alley howling angrily, and just as he rushed out, a blue and white car happened to come at high speed.
The dazzling high beams were like two sharp swords, illuminating not only the darkness in the alley, but also Feng Ju's bloodstained, hideous and distorted face.
"There's danger, find the police!"
This familiar saying from childhood made the young Feng Ju believe it without a doubt.
But when he actually put on the uniform, he buried it deep in his memory and even sneered at it.
But at this moment, at this critical moment, he suddenly seemed to have regained his original memory and remembered it.
"Help--!!"
His body fell heavily on the cold, hard road. The violent impact almost broke him apart, but he raised his head and roared with all his strength.
The blue veins on his neck bulged like twisted earthworms, and his hoarse, broken gong-like cry for help filled with blood foam crashed into the oncoming blue and white car as if it were real!
Although he should know better than anyone that a mere constable from the police station could never be a match for the sallow-faced old man behind him,
What's more, there was only one patrol car.
But at this moment, Feng Ju had completely forgotten the most basic judgment, like a drowning person clinging to the last straw.
“Squeak——!!!”
The tires made a harsh friction sound against the asphalt road.
The blue and white car braked at the critical moment, and came to a thrilling stop in an almost drifting posture.
The front of the car was only three inches away from Feng Ju's forehead. The hot air emitted by the running engine sprayed on his face, bringing a burning pain and a strong smell of gasoline.
However, the next second, a chill that could extinguish an engine instantly shot up from his tailbone and rushed straight to the top of his head!
The front of the car is right in front of my face, and the closest thing to me is the license plate.
He stared at the front of the car so close to him with his bloodshot eyes, and his scalp suddenly felt numb.
The combination of letters and numbers on this license plate seems... a little familiar.
This... this looks like the blue and white car that Li Shang usually drives! !
Feng Ju felt that the blood in his body instantly solidified, and dropped from boiling hot to freezing point.
After all, according to his speculation a few minutes ago, Li Shang and the other two were most likely... in cahoots with the old ghost behind them.
No wonder the old guy behind him could catch up with him again. It must be that Li Shang used some technical means to lock his location before he threw away his phone, and then shared the information with the other party.
Damn, I threw away my phone too late!
Endless regret bit his heart like a poisonous snake.
“Click—”
The sound of the car door opening sounded like a bullet being loaded to Feng Ju's ears.
A figure stepped out slowly, and the movement even had a kind of indescribable... elegance?
He stood at the edge of the dazzling halo of car lights, his figure outlined by the strong light into a slender and blurred silhouette.
Feng Ju's sight, like a rusty gear, moved slowly and inch by inch towards the car door, focusing on the familiar figure.
“Damn it!!!”
Feng Ju's eyes were out of focus due to shock.
The good news is:
The person who came down was neither Li Shang nor Chang Erbing. The other party was not wearing a constable uniform at all.
The bad news is:
Under the glaring car lights, the slender figure was elegantly adjusting the cuffs of his suit with a playing card pinned to his chest.
And when the man looked down, a pale mask reflected a creepy luster.
The one coming is... [Masked]? ! !
When Feng Ju looked up and finally met those strangely spinning eyes, he felt that his scalp was more than just numbing.
It's about to be completely torn apart!!!
No, why would [Mask] get out of the police car, or from Li Shang’s police car?
So, Li Shang really colluded with [Mask].
Those two La Huanglian, as well as Li Shang, Ma Bin, Chang Erbing and the others are all in the same group.
The whole plan was a trap from beginning to end, but it was not only the special envoy who fell into the trap, but also myself.
Oh, by the way, it was me who proposed the plan, and I also tricked the special envoy into the trap. I... am really smart!
The bitterness of self-mockery was like bile, instantly filling Feng Ju's mouth, making his mouth dry and his throat blocked.
He stared at [Mask] intently, his eyes filled with extreme complexity.
Intertwined with deep hatred, fear that penetrates the heart, and inexplicable suspicion.
[Mask] once almost killed him, causing him to lose an arm, which completely changed the trajectory of his life, but it seems that he has an unclear secret relationship with his filial daughter.
No, she is not just a filial daughter, she may also have an unknown relationship with the rebellious son.
When facing the sallow-faced old man who was demanding his life from behind, he was still able to muster the courage to escape with a burst of despair; but when he faced the [Mask] again, the strength that supported him seemed to be drained away in an instant.
Think about it, he once dared to shoot at [Mask], but now, he can't even lift a finger.
He had a more powerful mechanical arm; he kept shouting that he wanted to kill [Masked]; he had become much stronger after his death and resurrection;
Why do I feel more at ease at this moment?
The stronger I am, the more cowardly I become!!
Feng Ju also didn't understand when he started to be so afraid of [Mask] that it almost reached his soul.
He opened his mouth in vain, but couldn't utter a single syllable. He was as humble as a useless ant.
Seeing that his respected father opened his mouth but remained silent, Feng Mu spoke in a metallic and cold voice through his mask:
"Who are you and why did you stop the police car? You don't look well. Do you need help?"
Feng Ju: “.???”
His jaw was nearly dislocated and his mouth was wide open enough for him to fit his fist in.
What’s going on? Is [Mask] pretending to be a constable? What the hell is going on?
No, that’s not the key point. The key point is that [Mask] seems not to recognize me, he doesn’t remember me. How could he not remember me?
Ah, wait—
I hope he doesn't remember me!
Although he was filled with doubts, his instinct for survival made Feng Ju seize the opportunity to survive. He coughed violently and vomited a pool of black blood, and from his hoarse throat he squeezed out a weak cry for help:
“Save—me—!!”
Feng Ju was not the only one who was shocked. Xiao Jiuzi was no less shocked than Feng Ju.
That sallow, wrinkled old face was now filled with even stronger fear and disbelief than Feng Ju's.
"[Mask]?!!"
A huge wave also rose in Xiao Jiuzi's heart:
"He... Why did he get here?!"
So, we decided to let you go for now, but you keep chasing me and can't wait even a moment?
Killing Xiao Liuzi wasn't enough, he wanted to catch up and kill me too. What a fellow, he is even more treacherous than me, is his desire for revenge so strong?
[Mask] slowly turned his head and turned to the hunchbacked old man, his pupils flashing with an evil light, and he said righteously:
"You dared to commit a crime in the middle of the night. It is a heinous crime. I advise you to surrender immediately, come with me and confess your crime."
This textbook-like "official statement" caused Feng Ju and Xiao Jiuzi to fall into a strange silence at the same time.
Feng Ju: “….”
This line is good. Why is it that [Masked] is more like a real detective than me, who has been a detective for half my life?!
Xiao Jiuzi: “….”
I am extremely vicious, I? While you are saying this, could you please put away the erosion bead in your hand?
The Erosion Pearl is usually a last resort to kill yourself and the enemy together, and it is not to be used as a regular weapon and thrown right away.
Xiao Jiuzi was so frightened that he dared not take another step forward. He even subconsciously took a half step back and retreated back into the alley.
But he tried hard not to show any fear on his face, and instead squeezed out a sinister sneer from the depths of his throat:
"Hehehe, Zheng Hang, you are a criminal wanted by the police station. I advise you to sober up. You don't really think you are a constable, do you?"
[Mask] seemed to be smiling, but his words were very thought-provoking:
"When I'm driving a police car, I'm a real police officer. My blue and white car is real, and the police lights on the car are real, so I'm a real police officer.
If you say I am not, you are adding guilt to guilt."
[Mask] paused, glanced at the two of them with a cold gaze, and said in a low voice:
“Who’s for and who’s against?”
Feng Ju also realized at this time that his speculation was wrong and he misunderstood [Mask].
[Mask] is not in the same group as the sallow-faced old man. [Mask] He has not gone along with them. He is innocent.
Feng Ju nodded hurriedly, agreeing that what [Mask] said was right.
He was not doing this to save his life, but he really felt that what [Mask] said made some sense.
Xiao Jiuzi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes were gloomy.
He now understood a little bit that this [Masked] Zheng Hang was definitely mentally ill and was probably terminally insane.
Trying to reason with a madman? Forget it. You'll only bring shame upon yourself.
Especially when this madman is holding a powerful weapon that can instantly send half of the street into the sky.
The hunchbacked old man didn't know that this was exactly the impression Feng Mu ([Mask]) wanted to leave on him.
He had already made up his mind that since he had already killed the tall old man, it was impossible and unnecessary to kill the hunchbacked old man.
Otherwise, who would help him deliver the gift that Ma Bin prepared?
The best way is to force the hunchbacked old man to retreat and leave him with an impression of "madness" to pave the way for the future.
He has now gradually discovered that "crazy" is a very cost-effective personality label. If handled properly, the benefits can be immeasurable.
Feng Mu didn't know that he deliberately labeled himself as "crazy", which was becoming more and more consistent with the reputation that [Destiny] had created over the years.
The hunchbacked old man had a gloomy face and said nothing. He was scared away like that, which was a bit embarrassing.
He may be shameless, but as the young master's servant, he must have dignity.
[Mask] did not force it. He played with the Erosion Pearl in his hand. He glanced at Feng Ju and waved his hand in a very understanding manner.
What I mean is that the fight is going to be dangerous, and since you are a seriously injured soldier, you'd better retreat first.
Feng Ju: “…”
He was deeply shocked and felt a warm current surge up in his heart. At this moment, his entire dark and cold heart was warmed by this sudden kindness.
[Mask] He is quite nice, tears in my eyes~
If I think about it carefully, [Mask] has never caused me any trouble. I was the one who took the initiative to attack him. The first time my arm was broken, I was the one who initiated the attack.
[Mask] He can be considered to be acting in self-defense...right!
Inexplicably, Feng Ju's hatred for [Mask] diminished a lot, and his hatred for his daughter also diminished a little.
Feng Ju took a deep breath and struggled to get up from the ground. He looked back at the sallow-faced old man vigilantly.
Although the latter had a fierce look in his eyes, he dared not move.
Seeing this, he no longer hesitated and hurriedly dragged his injured body towards the opposite alley, and his figure was quickly swallowed by the darkness.
The hunchbacked old man watched Feng Ju's back disappear from his sight, and then his gaze returned to [Mask], and he said in a sarcastic tone:
"He's your father? You care about him so much and want to save him?"
Without waiting for [Mask] to answer, he sneered again and added:
"No, we have investigated your information. Your father is dead. He was shot dead by the police because of a kidnapping case. So, Zheng Hang, are you finding yourself a new father?"
Anger is a sign of weakness.
The face beneath the mask was as calm as water. Every word spoken by the hunchbacked old man was heart-piercing, but to him, it was just the buzzing of mosquitoes and flies and could not disturb his emotions.
Besides, what the other party said was not all slander, so why should he be angry?
As a villain, he allows freedom of speech because he has the capacity to do so.
[Mask] simply squeezed the Erosion Pearl in his hand elegantly, and in an instant, the sounds in his ears stopped abruptly, and Xiao Jiuzi seemed to be strangled by someone.
He slowly raised his head, and his deep gaze seemed to be pressing on the hunchbacked old man.
In his evil pupils, the black and white magatama were like a strange cycle of alternating yin and yang, just like his unpredictable thoughts, which made Xiao Jiuzi completely unpredictable.
Xiao Jiuzi took a deep breath, changed his tone, and asked patiently:
"You have already saved the man and he has gone far away. You can tell me why you saved him now, but please don't try to fool me by pretending to be a constable."
[Mask] lightly tossed up the Erosion Pearl, and then caught it casually. Xiao Jiuzi, who was watching, kept cursing him as a madman in his heart.
"Okay, okay, you're crazy and you're awesome, let's not ask any more questions, okay?"
The hunchbacked old man complained in his heart, but retreated imperceptibly, deciding to walk around the madman for the time being.
But I heard a meaningful whisper from [Mask] floating in the air:
"A father should not be prevented from seeing his daughter for the last time. The audience is waiting to see a happy ending. What do you think?"
