Chapter 118: Complete Failure
"Come out. A faint voice drifted into Chiko's ears from the empty hallway.
"Who the hell are you!" Chiko replied cautiously.
"Don't you want to see for yourself with your eyes? The voice seemed to be much closer than it had been before.
"Don't be fooled, his marksmanship is very accurate. Arak stopped Chiko, who was about to get up.
Chiko hesitated, took a deep breath, and still chose to stand out. When she stood on the center line of the corridor and came face to face with the marksman holding the *, the man's face flickered on and off with the white overhead light, and in a trance, Chiko thought that she really had an illusion.
"Ai-" When she saw the scars on the man's face and her resolute features, Chiko shook her head and said, "You're not Eric, who are you?"
"Who do you think I am?" said Drake with a relaxed smile.
"Sir, now is not the time to guess a riddle, you should know where you are now. Chiko threatened.
"What's the situation, drowned by a soldier's corpse?" Derek quipped.
"I have to admit that you are a rare marksman, but no matter how accurate your crosshair is, your bullets must have a limit that is about to be reached, and I have far more people and bullets than you. Chiko spread out his hole cards.
"Miss Agent, in this world, numbers don't mean anything. I think you've met Kairaz, in front of him, there are so many people, more guns, more bullets, what does the result represent?" Drake continued to prompt mockingly, "I'm telling you something, there's a bullet hole in Kailas's left shoulder, which happened to be what I left for him. ”
Hearing Derek's prompt, Chiko's heartstrings couldn't help but tense to the extreme, she had witnessed Kailas's murderous skills, and if it weren't for Mrs. Hudson, few people in the castle would have survived. But the man in front of him, who was almost exactly the same as Eric, could hurt Kairaz, so his skills were at least on par with Kairaz.
"Actually, I don't want to kill you. Drake suddenly said something strange.
"What do you mean?" Chiko couldn't figure out what it meant, "You mean, you want to be friends with me?"
"No, no, don't get me wrong. Drake shrugged his shoulders, "I just think it's too cruel for both father and daughter to die at my hands." ”
Hearing Derek's sudden confession, Chiko only felt that her mind suddenly became blank, and then the video of "Eric discussing the murder of Jefferson" played in a loop in her mind.
"It's you! It's not Eric!" Chiko clenched her fists.
"By the way, I'm more real than Eric. Drake smiled, "By the way, my name is Puffer Soros Drick, the same Puffel Drick you've been trying to find, or rather, I'm the original version of Eric." ”
"You sent that video. "Chiko knew she had fallen into a trap.
"There's nothing wrong with that, and only by sending it to Thompson can he and you become irrational. Because you are more of a marionette swayed by emotions than Mrs. Hudson, and only then will I have a chance to push Eric into a corner, so that he will be more receptive to my plan. Derek looked at Chiko's remorseful expression with satisfaction.
"What's the plan!" asked Chiko through gritted teeth.
"A world-changing program. Derek said lightly.
"I don't know what connection you have to with the Puffle family, but you're just like that Mailer, a delusional, daydreaming madman. Chiko clenched her gun tightly and secretly looked for an opportunity.
"Oh - take it easy. Derek saw Chiko's intentions at a glance, "Genius and madman are originally the same thing, and the development of human technology to this extent is mostly because of madmen, but it is just that the world's eyes have praised a few very prominent madmen into so-called geniuses." ”
"Your explanation is really chic. Chiko still hasn't given up looking for an opportunity, "But now that you've announced the truth of that video, you're just asking for fun, do you really think you can bury this truth forever." ”
"I know, I think the captain hiding in the corner is carefully recording your conversation with me, and this will be the best evidence to clear Eric's name. Drake said indifferently.
"Looks like you're well aware. Chiko said coldly, but she had to be frightened by Drake's keen observation, which was almost on par with Eric's.
"Of course, because I'm very different from Felix's megalomaniac, I'm justifiably confident. Derek laughed, "I don't think you know yet, Eric has agreed to work with me. ”
"It can't be. Chiko immediately blurted out a denial.
"Why can't it be, because he's a detective and I'm a killer?" Drake looked a little smug.
"I know him, he won't work with a criminal. Chiko insisted on her point of view.
"First of all, if you really believe in him firmly, there will be no suspicion that he was involved in the assassination of your father. The corners of Drake's mouth showed a hint of disdain, "Secondly, maybe you don't know, Eric and I have a strong hatred for this world, and we both go on two different paths because we are eager to change the world, but we all end up the same, because there is only one path to a perfect world, and he and I will eventually come together." ”
"I-" Chiko suddenly felt that her argument would turn very pale, "then, Eric alone on this road will be enough." ”
As she spoke, Chiko quickly pulled the trigger. But just as the trigger was pressed to a force that couldn't even be seen by the naked eye, the * in Drake's hand was already aimed at Chiko like a lightning bolt. Chiko gritted his teeth and prepared to pull the trigger with all his might, regardless of his life, but a bullet had already been fired from the muzzle of Drake's gun.
In this moment, Chiko realized the gap between herself and Drake—she was using her life to prove his record—that he had shot through Kalas's shoulder, and now the bullet was in his heart. At this moment, Chiko suddenly felt a force pushing him to the side. Only a muffled snort of pain was heard, and Chiko was thrown to the ground.
Chiko looked at it and saw that it was none other than Captain Arak, who had been waiting in the corner, to save his life. Chiko just wanted to help Arak up, but she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder, and the pain was so painful that she couldn't exert any strength. It turned out that although Arak helped Chiko block the fatal shot, the huge penetrating power still pierced her shoulder.
"For your luck's sake, for your dead father's sake, and for Eric's sake, I want you to live a little longer. With that, Drake left behind a haughty back, leaving Chiko to taste the taste of complete defeat in agony.
