Chapter 307 Sinner "Do it for me."
"Gin..." The boss's voice sounded in Lin Xi's mind, with a hint of reminiscence and appreciation.
Lin Xi guessed that this was because Gin had never betrayed him from beginning to end.
It was written in the system entry that Gin was "absolutely loyal." Others might betray, but Gin definitely wouldn't.
"How should we go?" Lin Xi asked, looking up.
The injected drug made her less able to use her strength, and even if her wrist was free, she could not help Gin much.
They were now in a van that had been forced to stop. The driver was motionless, and Bourbon hadn't appeared either. The police couldn't stop the group.
Gin looked up.
He held a sniper rifle in one hand and a pistol in the other. Blood dripped from the corner of his black coat. Lin Xi stared at the blood dripping, splattering the ground in small drops. The gunfire outside gradually faded, and she heard the sound of a helicopter, and then she understood Gin's unspoken answer.
She reached out and grabbed Gin's sleeve: "Maybe I need your help."
Her arm strength has not recovered yet and is not enough to support herself to climb onto the helicopter.
Gin immediately put away the Beretta and put his arm around Lin Xi's waist. Lin Xi skillfully pulled a pistol from his pocket. Since Gin was sacrificing one hand to carry her, she would serve as that hand and shoot for him.
There was no further conversation between the two. Public security was still receiving reinforcements, but the organization lacked the capacity to deploy so many people simultaneously, so time was of the essence. Gin opened the car door. The afternoon sun was fierce, and the wind in Yokohama was strong. The stimulation of the wind and sun made Lin Xi squint slightly. It had been a long time since he had seen tears well up in his eyes.
Gin hugged her and jumped out of the car. Lin Xi held onto Beth Reiter with both hands, and the bullet pierced the ankle of the man who came to intercept him.
They were on the street at the moment, and all pedestrians had been dispersed by the police. Even if they wanted to come in to listen to the gunfire, they would have to think twice. To the ordinary people, the clash between the organization and the police was just a gang conflict in a port city. After all, one side was all dressed in suits, the other was all dressed in black, and both were holding firearms. Neither side was willing to give in.
The helicopter slowly lowered its altitude, and the rotation of the rotor made a loud noise. A soft ladder was thrown down from the cabin door. Lin Xi identified with his excellent eyesight that the person driving the helicopter was Vodka, who was wearing sunglasses.
The shadow of the helicopter fell on her face. Lin Xi smiled slightly and prepared to climb the ladder.
However, at this moment, a creepy sense of crisis arose in my heart.
It was a sharp cry of survival instinct, impossible to ignore. Gin also realized something was wrong and pulled her sideways.
The bullet grazed the brim of Gin's hat, crossed his cheek, leaving a scorch mark, and then spun and pierced into Lin Xi's body.
"Ugh..." Lin Xi groaned in pain.
At the same time, the boss in my mind also uttered a voice full of resentment: "Akai Shuichi..."
The terrain they were in now was full of low buildings, not suitable for sniping. The only place suitable for sniping was 1,200 yards away.
And there are only two people in the world who can snipe Lin Xi from 1,200 yards away between the helicopter and Gin.
One is Gin who is holding her, and the other is the FBI's ace investigator, Shuichi Akai.
Gin quickly locked onto the place where the bullet was fired. The murderous aura in an instant almost penetrated the man's head through the sniper rifle's scope. However, the shaky person in his arms reminded him that now was not a good time to shoot.
He quickly carried the person to the back of the car and checked Lin Xi's injuries.
The AWM has high accuracy and strong penetration, but fortunately, its bullet is small in caliber, so its lethality is not as great as other large-caliber weapons. However, Lin Xi's situation is not optimistic.
The bullet penetrated beneath her left collarbone, tearing half of her chest into hideous pieces of flesh. Blood gushed out from the wound, and her face turned visibly pale.
It was not the first time that Gin saw someone injured by a sniper rifle, but it was the first time that he saw Lin Xi injured so seriously.
Those honey-colored pupils stared blankly at the void beside him, as if they had entered a mysterious realm that he could neither see nor trace.
The time for this operation was too tight, and he didn't have time for Lin Xi to put on a bulletproof vest in the car. The sudden appearance of the FBI was also beyond his expectations, which led to her injury.
It seems that his departure from Japan was a deliberate deception created by the FBI.
Akai Shuichi's bullet was aimed at her heart. Fortunately, he was holding her, forming a shield with the helicopter, blocking half of her body, and at the last moment he pulled her back, so the bullet narrowly missed her heart.
He felt an almost brutal murderous intent towards the FBI, but he was careful with his actions towards Lin Xi.
She was wearing a white hospital gown. Gin unbuttoned her shirt, found the bleeding area, and stopped the bleeding with the gauze he carried with him.
"Hold on." Facing the fatal wound, his face was as calm as water, his hands kept moving, and he also notified the members to evacuate through the communicator hanging on his ear.
He knew in his heart that today's operation had failed. Lin Xi was so seriously injured that she needed immediate treatment. If he took her on a helicopter without professional equipment and a sterile environment, she would only die from shock due to blood loss.
Although he knew that her body had strong recovery ability, he couldn't take the risk.
Now the only thing he could do was to get the organization to stop. He left her here and waited for the police to come and take her away...
As he was thinking, the half-open honey-colored eyes suddenly widened, and her right hand suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled him down with a strength not that of a patient.
Blood was on her face, hair and eyelashes, but although her face was pale, she was smiling.
"It's me." Her voice was firm, without a hint of weakness, and he almost thought it was her last breath.
"you……"
"Ahem, sorry, I'm a bit embarrassed." Blood oozes from his pale lips, but Lin Xi's expression can be described as calm: "Only in this way can I chat with you without hindrance, Grisha."
She was pulling his collar with all her strength, and she was also speaking with all her strength, as if that was the only way to avoid being interrupted by the rushing blood.
"Tell me, when you asked Itakura Taku to create that software, was I the one you wanted to save?"
Itakura Taku once said:
"They did so much just to save one person."
"Yes." Gin stared into her eyes, trying to calculate her remaining life value from her contracted pupils.
"When is that moment?"
"That person will die at some point in the future, and they want her to survive."
"August 27th, 12:47:53," he said.
Her rapid breathing was in his ears, and Gin seemed to hear the drumbeat of approaching death.
For some unknown reason, he continued:
"If you die, the world will end."
Lin Xi's breathing paused, and then she laughed. Gin pressed her collarbone with his hand and pressed her against the car wall to prevent her from laughing so hard that she would bleed again.
"Gin, Grisha... Gin." Her voice gradually softened. "Don't worry about my injuries. Today is not the day I die."
"You are the person I trust the most."
"You'll do whatever I ask you to do, right?"
The dark green pupils and the honey-colored pupils looked at each other. Although the girl was leaning against the wall of the car and her life was swaying like a candle, her eyes were so bright that Gin even had the urge to avoid her gaze.
But her hands gripped his collar, making it impossible for him to escape.
The hand pulled down hard, and Gin followed the force and moved down. His silver hair and black hair intertwined, both stained with the colors of gunpowder and blood.
The voice rang clearly in his ear, and Gin's pupils shrank.
After saying that, Lin Xi loosened his collar, grabbed Bo.Le.Ta with his slender hands, and placed it in his palm.
"This is an order." She sat on the ground, covered in blood, and could only look up at him, but she ordered him like a king ordering his subjects:
"Do it for me."
A series of emotions surged through Gin's chest, the first of which was anger. It was the first time he had felt such intense anger since leaving the slums, a rage even more vivid and intense than the one he felt when he saw the merciless plague taking the lives of his named companions.
That was hatred towards this world and towards Lin Xi.
Her honey-colored eyes closed, but her still rapid breathing and heaving chest proved that she was still alive.
As she said, her death is imminent and such an injury will not kill her.
Gin walked out of the car, grabbed the helicopter's ladder, and jumped into the cabin in a few steps.
"Brother!" Vodka said anxiously, "What should we do now? Should we leave Punch here?"
"Get out of here." Gin raised his sniper rifle and aimed at the sniper point 1,200 yards away.
However, the black-haired man was no longer there.
He put away his gun. The sound of ambulances wailed on the street. He watched the medical staff frantically putting the injured person on the stretcher. He only looked away after seeing the black-haired girl being lifted out of the car and properly placed in the ambulance.
The bullet wound on his face had already solidified, and only when his fingers brushed against it did he feel a faint burning pain.
He remembered what Vermouth had said to him:
[Gin, the boss's brain has been implanted with an alien consciousness. You must protect her until that moment arrives... but you cannot reveal any information directly to her.]
It was obvious that she was aware of the existence in her own mind and found a way to avoid the other consciousness's prying eyes, creating an opportunity to talk to him alone.
The bullet was not aimed at the heart. Under the precise control of the owner, it only pierced the artery above her heart below her collarbone, leaving her in a state of near death but not immediate death.
Her words "It's me" and "Only in this way can I chat with you without hindrance" meant that she knew from some channel that near-death could temporarily silence another consciousness.
Then, the appearance of Shuichi Akai here also explains why he was supposed to take the evening flight back to the United States - she and Shuichi Akai reached some kind of agreement; and the police's seemingly ambiguous resistance when he hijacked the car also meant that they knew Lin Xi would eventually stay.
It's not that she was completely unaware of her own situation. Instead, she made careful arrangements, mobilized the public security, the organization and the FBI, created an opportunity to meet him, and then... gave him the final and most important order.
Smoke rose from the scarlet fingertips, blurring Gin's face and concealing his chaotic thoughts.
At this moment, he finally understood why he added that sentence when she asked about the specific time.
"If you die, the world will end."
——Because he understood her and knew that some things in this world were more important to her than herself...so he added the whole world to the opposite side of the scale of her life.
And her own thoughts were nothing compared to the things she treasured.
