Will you really let us go?
"Will you really let us go?"
Liu Xia's tone slowed down, the gun in his hand dropped to his leg, and he took out the USB flash drive from his trouser pocket and showed it to the other party. He limped towards the captain, his eyes fixed on him the whole time. "The car accident that killed my parents a year ago, you really have nothing to do with it?"
The captain's eyes gradually became dull, and the muzzle of the gun pointed at Liu Xia dropped slightly. His tone changed from one of confidence to one of complete absence of emotion: "I won't let you go. My mission is to kill all witnesses. Your parents' car accident... The person who was in the car accident a year ago was trying to take the source code..."
"Who is that?" Hearing this, Liu Xia's eyes darkened and he continued to ask, "Is it a technology company in Chong City that researches robots?"
"Not a robot..."
Liu Xia's eyes became even more sinister. Her fingers had already grasped the captain's throat. Her knuckles tightened unconsciously, making a light "click" sound. There was a dangerous chill in her voice: "It's not a robot... then what is it?"
The captain's eyes showed a trace of struggle: "It's a whale fall..."
"Whale fall..." Liu Xia muttered to himself, and asked uncertainly, "When a whale falls, all things come to life?"
After receiving the captain's affirmative reply, Liu Xia suddenly smiled as if remembering something, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Whale Fall... It seems that I have been fooled all along."
"Captain, what's wrong with you!"
Urgent shouts and chaotic footsteps came from the stairwell.
Two team members who were lurking in the dark rushed in carrying Bai Fei, who had just escaped from two floors. There were still traces of tears on her pale face, and her thin body was struggling in vain under the tough restraints.
The sudden movement was like a bucket of ice water being poured down on them, and the three people who had been standing there in a daze shuddered violently.
"I...what's wrong with me..."
The other two team members gradually regained consciousness. One of them stumbled back two steps, knocking over the iron frame inside the unfinished building. The piercing sound added to the chaos at the scene, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, as if waking from a dream.
Liu Xia's pupils suddenly contracted when her "emotional manipulation" was suddenly interrupted. She stared at Bai Fei who was brought back, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"Liu Xia, give me the USB drive now." The captain, who had regained consciousness, suspected that Liu Xia had some kind of hypnotic trick that had nearly gotten him into trouble. His neck was tightly clamped, making him unable to move. He immediately flew into a rage, "Otherwise, throw that woman out the window!"
The team member holding Bai Fei received the captain's eye instructions, grabbed the edge of Bai Fei's denim jacket with his right hand and pushed half of her body out of the window that had not yet been installed with glass.
He swallowed nervously, looked in the direction of Liu Xia and the captain, and shouted, "If you dare to act rashly again, I will let go!"
The howling cold wind from the top floor blew Bai Fei's hair, making her frail body shake. Bai Fei bit her lips tightly but stubbornly did not utter a word for mercy. She just stared at Liu Xia with her tearful eyes, as if telling something silently.
"Interesting, interesting..." Liu Xia felt as if something in her mind had suddenly disconnected. She laughed out loud and nervously, causing everyone present to look at her in confusion. "No wonder they're so thoughtful. I really hope all this is fake..."
"Liu Xia, what do you mean..." Before the captain could finish his words, he felt a flash in front of his eyes and his vision suddenly spun strangely.
The whole world seemed to be in slow motion.
He saw his teammates behind him looking at him with eyes full of fear, and heard their gasps one after another. But he was clearly looking at Liu Xia and talking just now, but how come his teammates suddenly appeared in his sight, and the whole space was distorted into an absurd angle.
"How..." The captain wanted to speak, but before he even realized that his neck had been twisted 180 degrees, a fishy, sweet, warm liquid surged into his throat and gushed out from the corners of his mouth. The belated severe pain rushed up his spine to his brain.
Liu Xia released his fingers that were gripping the captain's cervical vertebrae, and his blood-stained fingertips drew several strange arcs in the air. Before anyone could react, he snatched the assault rifle that was still in the captain's hand.
Two muffled "puff" sounds, silenced by the silencer, echoed in the building, instantly shattering the heads of the enemies beside them. The masks on their faces had no protective effect at all, and brain matter mixed with red bone fragments splattered in the air.
Everything happened so quickly that the rest of the group only woke up when the third body fell to the ground.
The team member who was holding Bai Fei's denim jacket loosened his fingers in panic, raised his gun and shot at Liu Xia. Bai Fei, who was already hanging in the air, fell downstairs in an instant without any traction.
Liu Xia dodged the opponent's shooting by sliding downwards, then rushed to the window like a ghost while kneeling and sliding. Holding the assault rifle in his right hand, he slid and smashed the head of the team member holding the gun.
Without hesitation, he rushed out of the 40-story window and tried to grab Bai Fei. The wind was whistling in his ears and the feeling of weightlessness instantly swept over his body.
"Are you crazy?!" Bai Fei's scream was torn apart by the wind, and her denim jacket fluttered in the wind. She watched Liu Xia's figure rapidly enlarge in her field of vision.
Soon, Liu Xia hugged Bai Fei who was falling down, and wrapped his arms around her waist like a clamp, and brought the USB flash drive in his hand to her eyes. The sound was unusually clear while she was falling.
"Is this what you want? Bai Fei..."
"When a whale falls, all things come to life. I still have the whale fall souvenirs you gave me at home. I never thought the small business you mentioned at home would be so powerful."
Bai Fei's expression quickly flickered, a mixture of surprise, confusion, and astonishment intertwined before he finally calmed down: "Why did you jump down when you already knew it was me?"
The resistance of the wind caused the two of them to spin unconsciously in the air for several circles, but Liu Xia still held Bai Fei tightly in his arms, using his body to block the oncoming airflow for her.
"I'll just consider it as paying you back." With all her family dead and even her best friend trying to deceive her, Liu Xia's eyes were devoid of emotion. She stared at Bai Fei with a dead heart, "Whether you survive or not, I don't owe you anything anymore."
"I didn't arrange the car accident that killed you." Bai Fei knew she was close to death, and indescribable emotions welled up in her eyes. "I didn't expect things to develop to this point."
"I know……"
In the last second before falling to the ground, Liu Xia used all her strength to adjust her posture and touched the ground with her back first. The huge impact force caused the concrete road surface to crack in a spider web shape.
Bai Fei was held firmly against her chest, but he could still hear the muffled sound of bones breaking beneath him.
Blood gushed out from beneath the two men, mixing inextricably and soon forming a scarlet lake.
If Liu Xia's physical strength had not made a qualitative leap, the inertia of falling from a 40-meter-high building would have shattered her body into pieces.
Bai Fei struggled to hold up her upper body, but the multiple comminuted fractures in her body only allowed her to breathe weakly.
Even with Liu Xia willing to act as a human shield, Bai Fei's body was already damaged to the point of being on the verge of death.
"I'll never again..." Liu Xia sniffed the familiar citrus scent, felt the warmth between his fingers, and blood foamed with every word he spoke. Deep down, he felt extremely tired of everything happening in the real world. "Never again... I'll never come back..."
My head began to hurt uncontrollably, as if it was being torn apart by something, and memories flashed through my mind like a kaleidoscope.
He Tianlin, who had a clean smile on his handsome face, Ding Ruotong, who was a little dull but thoughtful and careful in handing her food, and Song Xuan, who had only met her a few times but always protected her.
He risked his life many times to collect garbage from the wasteland, even taking his comrades who depended on him for survival with him, and fought hard to return to the real world, but the result was this.
The sound of sirens in the distance was getting closer and closer, and red and blue police lights were flashing on the dilapidated building. The gunshots in the building earlier attracted the attention of residents living nearby.
It would be better if I just died like this, then I could go find my parents.
Liu Xia closed her eyes and thought happily that she could finally stop and have a good rest.
I just don’t know whether I will go to hell or heaven?
