Chapter Forty-Eight: Anna
Anna walked slowly into the man and woman on the riverbank—and only after she had fully walked in did she see the man and woman clearly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Very young men and women.
When they turned to look at Anna, she subconsciously said, "It's you...... Saved me?"
But no sooner had she said this than she paused, and a look of surprise appeared on her face—Anna found herself speaking like the wind peeking out of shattered glass.
Hoarse, shattered, and some of the syllables even distort directly into a voice of unknown meaning.
She couldn't help but reach out and touch her throat.
"I, I, I ......" Anna tried to make her speech complete, but it didn't seem to work.
Finally, she heard the answer that made her feel unbelievable.
"I guess Miss Anna, you'd better not try. The young man with the eastern face in front of him said slowly, "Although we came as soon as we heard your call. It's just a pity that you were in a bad state at the time. ”
Luo Qiu tried to explain in a language that Anna could understand: "Let's put it this way, Miss Anna's throat bone was shattered and in a dying state...... Well, we're keeping you in that state for the time being. ”
Anna opened her mouth, as if she still couldn't understand the meaning of the words.
Luo Qiu had no choice but to say more simply: "In other words, when you are in this state of absence, you will immediately usher in death." ”
Anna didn't know what this so-called state was. But she touched her neck very clearly.
The bones here are shattered. I guess if it looks like a strange place to others.
She was silent for a long time, and finally managed to squeeze out her voice: "More...... Many...... Long. ”
Luo Qiu said indifferently: "Of course it won't be too long. The customer is in the process of being protected from the transaction, so it is able to maintain this state. But if it drags on for too long, it will disappear automatically. Don't get me wrong, we're not not going to give you something we don't think about, just because we need a little bit of consumption to maintain your state. I suppose that Miss Anna has come to her senses, then...... Half an hour, is it enough for you to think about it? By the way, Miss Anna will be completely dead after half an hour, so our judgment is ...... I'm afraid you won't be able to get any more valuable money than your own soul. ”
Anna listened and fell silent. She took a few steps forward, past Luo Qiu and Yuye, and came to the closest position to the river.
She looked at the night scene across the riverbank, stunned.
When there were five minutes left, she slowly turned around and looked at the young man silently.
She still didn't speak...... But she experienced such a magical scene, but she subconsciously felt that this person might be able to understand her meaning.
The owner of the club still obeyed his duty of guiding the guests well, and only heard Luo Qiu say slowly: "Is this really good? Miss Anna, I can tell you that what you want to ask cannot be regarded as something that we impermanently offer you. It will subtract some of the value of your trading holdings - i.e., skew your final buying power. Are you sure, or do you feel the need for this part?"
Anna nodded silently.
"I see. Boss Luo was also very simple, "Mr. Yuri was saved by us, and he is now able to use the energy of the Dekabi family, and he did get it from us." ”
A flash of gloom flashed in Anna's eyes, as if she could already guess the final answer...... But she still had a longing gaze.
She still chose to listen.
"Mr. Yuri's deal with us is ......"
Luo Qiu said softly, "He hopes to gain the power of revenge. For this, he only has one month left to live. Now, there are about twenty-seven days left. ”
Anna finally closed her eyes and took a deep breath...... Her instinct, even if she felt it clearly, was that the air was blocking her neck as soon as it entered her airways.
It seemed to make her even more uncomfortable.
Her tear ducts were still working well...... Finally she opened her eyes again, and her gaze completely dimmed under the entangled moisture.
Eventually, she allowed herself to smile a smile that was worse than crying. She said with a fierce hatred in her now hoarse, broken, terrifying voice like the oldest old witch, "You...... Guys...... No...... Should...... Exist...... In the ......"
Luo Qiu said indifferently: "This part of the cost has been recorded, does Miss Anna plan to buy something else?"
When the last five minutes were also exhausted, Anna said with difficulty, "First...... Let...... I...... See...... Arrive...... Last, last. ”
"As you wish. Luo Qiu smiled slightly, "My guest." ”
......
......
It's past zero o'clock.
This is probably the most difficult night for Yefim to sleep in recent years. He sat alone in the cold hall with his pajamas, and held the knife in his hand.
The knife was like his mascot - it accompanied him in his development, and it could even be said to have played a crucial role.
He was fourteen years old and killed for the first time.
He still felt uneasy.
It was as if the moment he stabbed him for the first time when he was fourteen years old has lasted until now. Of course, he preferred it because of that, rather than because of the current situation.
It made him feel like things weren't under his control...... It is a denial of his abilities.
Yefim lifted the landline phone next to him, and after waiting for a moment, he heard a slightly tired voice.
"Old man, you seem to have only come to me the day before yesterday, so diligent, is there something wrong?"
Yefim said slowly: "There is a man named Victor, is it your subordinate?"
"Victor?" the voice on the other end of the phone looked surprised, and asked, "Is he really ...... What, he offended you?"
Yefim said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just that my people told me that there is a person named Victor in the past two days, who has caused a lot of trouble and affected a lot of business." ”
"Yes......" said on the other end of the phone, "I'm afraid it's because of what happened recently." Old man, this guy is a workaholic. Believe me, he's not targeting you, he's probably just going crazy and trying to find some clues. You know, the painting was stolen and it had a big impact. I'm under a lot of pressure, too. But don't worry, when this is over, I'll find a way to deal with Victor. This guy is a thorn, almost nobody's in sight. ”
Yefim suddenly said: "Oh, listen to what you mean, you, the boss of the police station, don't seem to be able to move a little detective?"
"I can't help it. Victor is a very old guy, and he has won a national medal, not a guy who can be cut down casually. Besides, I've been a bit ...... lately, too Well, a little trouble, I don't want to cause more trouble at this time...... I said, old man, with your connections and sources, haven't you heard a little bit about this painting? I think you can help me. ”
Yefim narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, old man, I don't want to see your situation get worse. In the past two days, I have also asked my people to pay attention to this matter, and if there is any news, I will definitely inform you as soon as possible. ”
"Thank you, old man. ”
"Who makes us a good partner?"
Yefim later cut off the call. When he put the phone down, he also nailed the knife in his hand to the table hard, and sneered: "It seems that this old guy is useless......
So, he picked up the phone again.
......
His wife is still in a holiday home in the suburbs.
When he came back in the middle of the night, Victor also spoke with his wife on the phone...... This is almost the most relaxed moment for Victor in the past few days.
He lay quietly on the bed in his downtown apartment room, looking at the ceiling...... Suddenly, the phone rang.
It's an unfamiliar number.
But apparently, the voice on the phone was not unfamiliar.
"Mr. Victor, it's me. ”
This was Yefim's voice: "I think we need to talk about it again. Is it convenient tomorrow?" (To be continued.) )
