Chapter Twenty-Three: The Fall
"I thought you hated killing", the fist in his trouser pocket clenched for a while, and finally let go, Yu Deshui sighed, as if he had given up something, "What a good sunset." β
"I do hate killing, to be precise, I hate killing people without principle", in Mo Yuan's eyes, the golden afterglow gradually dimmed, "I appreciate the confrontation with rules and bottom line, although it has long been mocked and abandoned by today's times. β
"We have an old saying in country A, 'soldiers don't tire of cheating'. β
"But I appreciate your performance in the 'Battle of Hongshui' in the Spring and Autumn Period of your country A", Mo Yuan shrugged his shoulders slightly, "Of course, basically, he is seen as a representative of pedantic. β
"That kind of person will not win", Yu Deshui's eyes were a little sloppy, "If you die, there will be nothing, along with your so-called rules and bottom line." β
"That's just because he's not strong enough. β
"Heh, you also have naΓ―ve times", Yu Deshui smiled, "Since you have the intention of killing me, presumably, I destroyed your bottom line?"
"It is possible to destroy", Mo Yuan glanced at the sunset that was about to disappear into the horizon, turned around, and walked towards the long table in front of the sofa.
"So, you decided to kill me for the purpose of prevention?" Yu Deshui turned around and followed Mo Yuan.
There was no light in the living room, the twilight in the room was pervasive, and the remnant sun reflected on Mo Yuan's back through the window, and the light and shadow flowed like blood along his straight legs, flowing on the floor, slowly twisting and extending into a narrow shadow, and climbed onto the long table.
"I left this 'decision' to yourself", Mo Yuan stood at the long table, bent down to pick up the first aid kit on the table, "When I rescued you, I put you to sleep." β
"Well, you probably don't want me to be awake to get in your way, or, out of kindness, you just want me to rest a little longer?" Yu Deshui said, walking closer to Mo Yuan.
"I injected a deadly poison into your body", Mo Yuan's eyes turned from the first-aid kit in his hand to Yu Deshui, he stood in the reddish backlight, Mo Yuan couldn't see his face clearly, "Sustained-release type, three days later, seizure, the crystallization of the cooperation between the intelligence team and the medical team", Mo Yuan paused, Yu Deshui stopped, and stood one meter away from Mo Yuan, "The way to rescue it, within three days, take the corresponding antidote, you can." The only regret is that this drug acts on the brain, but its efficiency in penetrating the blood-brain barrier is very low, and if detoxification is carried out with the help of hemodialysis and other means within one hour after injection, the dose that acts on the brain will not reach the standard......
"So, you let me fall asleep, so I can wait quietly for the drug to take effect", Yu Deshui, touching his head, "This drug feels like a half-finished product?"
"Well, when I go back this time, I will bring some data to them for analysis. β
"Will you leave in three days?" Yu Deshui looked at the first-aid kit in Mo Yuan's hand.
"According to the plan, tomorrow, try to get on the plane, wait for a day, officially get on the plane, and after successfully getting the data, take the plane that night and leave", Mo Yuan put the first aid kit in his hand on the table, "You can come and see us off." β
"Understood. β
"Let's go", Mo Yuan walked towards the entrance, "Red Ears are waiting for us." β
"Well, a toast for our ephemeral mutual good. Yu Deshui followed behind Mo Yuan.
"Speaking of which", Mo Yuan opened the door, "What are the common interests between us? Yu Deshui, as a security officer, seems to want to see the loss of the project that An Linzhe participated in in the past - 'Yi'. β
"Yes, the looks of those people are very pleasant to me. β
"Those people?" Mo Yuan walked out of the room and stood in the passageway.
"Hmm", Yu Deshui, simply agreed, followed Mo Yuan out of the room, turned around, and pulled the door, "If there is nothing to pay attention to, I closed the door?"
"Is that all?" Mo Yuan walked in front of himself, heading in the direction of the elevator.
"Isn't it enough that the real data of the core project is an important basis for knowing oneself and knowing oneself?" Yu Deshui closed the door and followed, "By the way, she won't order expensive dishes, right?"
"She will order delicious dishes. β
In the empty living room, the curtains are slowly closing automatically, and the last few dim rays of light struggle to see through the curtain print, casting their shadows on the screen across the sofa, as if playing a strange movie.
-
"She's my sister," the woman in front of Xiaolan said calmly, "a respectable and poor martyr." β
"You have the same looks. β
"The guy in charge of that mission underestimated the protection of your vehicle and made my sister die in vain. The woman's eyes were full of white light, flames, and falling stones.
"Do you have the same purpose?"
"I killed that stupid guy. The woman smiled.
"Do you understand my weaknesses?" Xiaolan looked at the woman in front of her gently.
"It was not possible to cope with the violent scenario, so the information-strategic and tactical group was chosen. The woman put away her smile.
"It seems that I'm on the passive side," Xiaolan said with a sad face, "I'm still thinking about steamed soft-shelled turtle and garlic prawns."
-
"We need to go fast. Mo Yuan quickened his pace.
"How?"
"She was unusually calm. β
"How do you know? Can your wrist equipment still analyze and share this information?" Yu Deshui said, walking in front of Mo Yuan, "For the guests of the presidential suite, there is a sightseeing elevator that goes directly to the luxury restaurant on the 137th floor, here." β
"This kind of information is private and generally not open, even between partners. β
"If you have such a technology, you should make good use of it", Yu Deshui said to his lips and said, "The direct sightseeing elevator is coming, let's go." β
The two entered the sightseeing elevator at the same time, Mo Yuan was on the left, Yu Deshui was on the right, and after the two stood still, the sightseeing elevator instantly accelerated and sank. Outside the window, the last inch of the flesh and blood of the remnant sun was finally completely swallowed by the horizon, and the splashed red blood gradually turned into a black mist, shrouding the sunset that still had residual warmth.
Mo Yuan felt that he was falling, like a distant sunset, falling into bottomless darkness.
-
"Look," the woman said, looking out the window at the vanishing sunset, "the river, which had been dyed red by the setting sun, was flowing from the end of the horizon, and little by little black blood was flowing, and it would spread to every corner of the city." β
"There will be another sunrise. In Xiaolan's eyes, this strange city gradually only had a black outline.
"Perhaps, you can't see it. β
