Chapter 88: Sisyphus - Kill the temporary guardian...
Takagi Shigeru notified his fellow police officers as quickly as possible and was assigned the task of evacuating the crowd. He did not forget the girl who had just beaten the bomber.
He turned around and saw the girl still confronting the bomber, and he screamed silently in his heart.
Terrorists vs. psychotic girl, is it a bit too much to let a newly recruited police officer handle it?
On one side is a bomber who could detonate a suicide attack at any time, and on the other side is a girl who seems emotionally unstable, has violent tendencies, and seems to be underage.
Takagi Wataru turned his gaze to the only adult present who seemed reliable, Morifushi Kagemitsu.
Where's the temporary guardian? Help!
Zhu Fujingguang received his pleading gaze and gave him an apologetic look.
I can't even protect myself, I can't help you, I'm sorry.
At this moment, Takagi Shigeru saw the red dot flashing on the young man's forehead.
--What?
Someone is sniping!
The detective's conditioned reflex made him blurt out: "Get down!"
The girl next to him looked over lazily.
Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned by the roar.
Relying on his knowledge of sniping, he looked towards a suitable sniping spot nearby.
The red dot moved to his temples.
He smiled in relief and turned to look at the red-haired girl.
Is this the "grave" you mentioned?
Knowing I'm a police officer, do you want me to die in front of my colleagues?
But, he won't know who I am...
In the end, the only one you will get revenge on is me.
You always seek revenge when you have a grudge, and you never involve others in your revenge.
That's fine.
From the day he became an undercover agent, he had already vaguely foreseen this outcome.
He gradually immersed himself in his own thoughts, and therefore failed to catch the disappointment in the girl's eyes.
Gao Mushi watched helplessly as the red dot swayed on the young man's temples, and the bullet flew through the air.
It brushed his cheek, passed through the bomb switch held in the bomber's raised hand behind him, and then rotated and nailed into his head.
The bomber's shouts and grins stopped abruptly, as if someone had roughly pressed the pause button on a low-quality player playing noisy music.
A bloody hole appeared in his head, and the bullet destroyed his brain in an instant, causing him to lose the ability to move instantly, and then he died and fell down.
The sniper had superb skills and great technique, and he had a perfect grasp of timing. Not only did he hit the target's vitals and killed him instantly, but he also pierced the remote control in the target's hand as the bullet traveled.
Takagi Wataru was stunned.
Is it the special forces?
It came too fast.
It was so fast that it seemed as if they had received the news in advance and were waiting here specifically for the bomber to show up.
And... he didn't receive any notification.
Then, could it be the revenge of the legendary evil forces or terrorist organizations due to uneven distribution of spoils?
Takagi Shigeru glanced at the bomber lying in a pool of blood.
...Then there's no need to kill him. This guy is committing suicide anyway. Why not just let him blow himself up?
And these two people too.
Takagi Wataru looked at the red-haired girl and the cat-eyed young man.
Facing the headshot scene, were these two people too calm?!
Not to mention the girl's look of "I don't care if the world is destroyed in front of me", after all, she just came out of a mental hospital.
But her temporary guardian had just been targeted by a sniper rifle, so why was he so calm?
Looking closely, he also seemed a little dazed - no, could it be that he was also released from a mental hospital like that girl?
Takagi Wataru felt a little horrified by his own thoughts.
"Are you all right?"
He said something nonsense.
Lin Xi: ...
"Thank you, we're fine. Let's go first." As he said that, he pulled Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had not yet recovered from his daze, and walked out.
There are too many people around and too many eyes to see, so retreat quickly - I guess the sniper Gin is also retreating.
Takagi Shigeru was right about one thing. Gin had indeed received Lin Xi's news a long time ago, so he arrived earlier than the police special forces team, and his sniping was also earlier, faster and more accurate.
He held a cigarette in his mouth, put away his gun, and glanced into the distance.
In the chaotic crowd, the girl seemed to sense something, raised her head and met his eyes.
His hand holding the gun case paused.
They were too far away to see her expression, and he didn't even know if the eye contact was just his own illusion.
He exhaled a puff of smoke, put on his gun bag, and turned to leave.
.
Zhu Fu Jingguang's wrist was pulled forward by Lin Xi.
For a moment, he was so stunned that he didn't even know where he was.
Seeing him like this, Lin Xi's original feeling of disappointment in him gradually turned into amusement.
This guy seems to be sleepwalking.
Coconut is always like this - staring blankly ahead, still carried around by her - usually when he just wakes up or feels sleepy.
"Baichuan, are you sleepy?"
“Ah, Senior…”
Zhu Fu Jingguang was suddenly brought back to his senses by the call, and found that his heart was beating like a drum and his mouth was dry.
He licked his lips: "Is that man dead?"
He thought the sniper was aiming at him.
But it was the bomber who died...
Isn't it directed at him?
No, as a sniper, Zhu Fujingguang's intuition told him that the sniper had indeed aimed at him at that time.
Just seconds later, the man moved the gun away and pointed it at the bomber next to him.
The bullet wound on his face was burning with pain.
"Dead." Lin Xi pulled Zhu Fu Jingguang, "Don't worry, we are... safe now..."
A speeding car brushed past Lin Xi's sleeve.
She was pushed forward by a force, dazed.
Her words were still lingering in the air, not yet hitting the ground; the heavy and terrifying death behind her had already spoken.
Lin Xi didn't look back.
When the car hit her, it was Zhu Fu Jingguang who pushed her out.
The car then hit Zhu Fujingguang - she heard the dull sound of the front of the car hitting the body.
She didn't want to look back.
She didn't want to know what people who died in car accidents looked like before they died, even though her brain had already painted a vivid picture of death against her will through the knowledge she had learned.
She wished she had never seen death.
...failed again.
Lin Xi's thoughts were a little stagnant.
Normally, when you can’t solve a problem after trying the same method three or four times, you should consider whether your method is wrong.
Summarize your mistakes and then boldly try new methods. Only in this way can you achieve twice the result with half the effort.
But... [Saving Zhufu Jingguang] is not a math problem.
There is no reference answer and no solution. It is too difficult, leaving Lin Xi at a loss.
And most importantly...
Lin Xi glanced at the direction the car was coming from and ignored the exclamations of passers-by around him, such as "There's been a car accident", "Call an ambulance quickly", and "It's too late, he seems to be dead".
Her reconnaissance skill, which had been upgraded to Lv2, didn't give her any warning at all.
It was different from the first week - in the first week, she saw the peripheral member raise his gun, and it was Zhu Fu Jingguang who did not dodge - this time she did not feel the appearance of the car at the intersection at all.
……Why?
system……
Watching the panel in front of her appear and text popping out line by line, she closed her eyes and went back to the game.
.
If you unfortunately died in an accident and were lucky enough to travel to another world, and as often described in time-travel novels, you got a golden finger - a game system. No matter who you are, you will want to try to survive first, right?
Especially since the world and the game are so interesting.
You are given a great deal of freedom, and the system also hints at changing the plot in various ways.
You gladly did as you were told, and gained a great sense of accomplishment from personally creating a plot that was different from the original, even though this was another world completely different from the one you came from.
Until one day the system throws out a new story mission, and all choices will lead to the same ending.
And no matter how hard you try, you can't shake the wheel of fate...
What would you do?
Lin Xi didn't know.
She was just a little confused:
If she, as a player, had the privilege to change the plot——
So why not this time?
Why does this game, this world, want Zhu Fu Jingguang to die?
Why, before killing Zhu Fu Jingguang, did he hypocritically set up a multiple-choice question that seemed to have a changeable solution, but in fact it was the same no matter what choice he made, and let her make the choice?
What does the system want Lin Xi to do?
Lin Xi still didn't know.
She stood on the rooftop, looking at the sun that was about to set in the sky, and remembered that she had promised Xiao Ai that she would rush home before dinner.
She opened the system map and looked coldly at the small moving dots of different colors on the map.
She thought, after these few rollbacks, at least she knew:
First, the system wants Zhu Fu Jingguang to die.
No matter how she tried to revive Morobushi Kagemitsu, an unpleasant plot twist would occur, taking his life away.
Moreover, as Lin Xi changed the plot more and more, the plot killings became more and more outrageous - the last time was even more direct, her reconnaissance skill that was upgraded to level two was actually useless, and it was hard not to suspect that the system had played a trick on it.
Second, the system cannot kill Zhu Fu Jingguang directly.
[Death of Zhufu Jingguang] should be a very critical plot node, so critical that the system must release the relevant plot tasks; it is so critical that she was teleported to 25 years ago, and after giving code names to the three undercover agents, she still had to complete this plot node before she could go back.
Lin Xi guessed that players had to participate in all the key plot points. At least from the system's perspective, it had to give players tasks...
Even if this time it doesn't want players to change the ending.
It seems that the system also has its own "rules" to follow.
...In that case, let's see which will win out, the player's "ability" or the system's "authority"?
I have to admit that the challenge of this story mission did arouse Lin Xi's unprecedented desire to win.
No, it should be the player's desire to win - the desire to win that no matter how difficult it is or how many times they fail, they must achieve a perfect happy ending.
The wind blew Lin Xi's white skirt up, like the waves at the end of the sea.
She stood on the edge of the rooftop without a guardrail, gazing at the setting sun in the sky, as if she wanted to stand there until the sun set.
