Chapter 175: Killing and Punishment
The only echoes in the silence of the castle were echoes, but I knew she could hear me, and I could feel her. We dodge each other, but at the same time we seek out each other, betting on who will be caught off guard by the other.
I searched the corners with alarm, and gradually found Mr. Hill's old room, where Phyllis was looking for what she was looking for.
Pushing the door, the layout of the room does not look complicated, the inside is a bedroom, the outside is a study suite, except for the luxurious decoration, almost at a glance, there is no corner to hide.
Several of his men had already reached inside, searched the outer room along the wall, and felt for the inner room.
I stayed at the door, thinking that even if Mr. Hill's room had a secret passage for her to escape at any time, but Phyllis wanted to kill me and knew that I wouldn't be the first to enter, so it would be foolish for her to hide inside, wouldn't she?
Ye Ningchen also seemed to suspect this possibility, and protected me tightly, vigilantly observing the two ends of the corridor and even upstairs and downstairs in any direction that might reach the muzzle of the gun.
Suddenly, a bullet shot from the window on the opposite side of the corridor, piercing the glass and hitting me, Ye Ningchen reacted quickly and hurriedly pulled me to dodge, and then, the glass was shattered by the violent impact, and a person jumped in from the window.
The burst of gunfire just now has dispersed the people who are guarding me, and at this moment only Ye Ningchen held me tightly, and someone fired a few shots at Ye Ningchen, and in the chaos, she rushed up and put the gun against my forehead while we couldn't dodge.
We froze, motionless.
Hidden outside the windowsill? Pretty. I pursed my lip line, and the protagonist arrived.
"Miss!" Ye Ningchen exclaimed. But he could not step forward.
Phyllis had her left arm across my neck, and her right hand holding the gun pulled the trigger, which seemed to make my head bloom in an instant. Her voice was more calm than ever. Steady ordered: "Put the gun down for me-"
Everyone stood in a daze, not knowing what to do, when several others heard the sound and rushed to block the ends of the hallway.
"Again, put the gun down!" She increased her strength.
Ye Ningchen looked at her, and then at me, and the anger between his eyebrows was suppressed. Slowly put the gun on the ground, and a group of people did the same.
Phyllis was close to my ear, her voice smiling. "Ruori-san, it looks like I won."
I squeezed a chuckle out of my throat, even though she was holding it down, and it was a little difficult to breathe. The voice is calm and casual. "I really inherited the excellent bloodline of the Hill family, and I can shoot and fight, admire."
"No, I still prefer intelligence to gun fighting," she said as she held me hostage as she slowly walked towards the end of the hallway, the crowd splitting off into a passageway, all of them backing away. Don't dare to act rashly, "I guessed you would come to Daddy's room." ”
"Guess what. Obviously, you're not getting what you want. I followed her steps back.
"It's okay," she chuckled, "I've taken Miss Ruori hostage, and I can take it boldly and with confidence." ”
"It turns out that the thing is not in Mr. Hill's room."
She laughed beautifully, "There is no difference between you know and you don't know." ”
The crowd had all retreated to the other side of the hallway, and Phyllis slowly let go of my jaw with her left hand, fumbled in the pocket of my coat, and quickly pulled out my gun.
“Good。” She held the gun in her hand and looked at it for a moment, it was the kahr that Zosi had given me. MK9, the next moment it was pointed at my forehead, and Phyllis threw the gun in her right hand aside, strangled my neck with her right arm, and changed positions with both hands.
It turned out that her gun was out of bullets.
I laughed, "Isn't it rude for me to remind you that it's rude to touch other people's things?" ”
She shrugged, "Then I think that one of the things I listed that night that you shouldn't have included this one, and likewise, I said I'd take it away - and now I did." ”
She continued to retreat, vigilantly watching for any unusual movements in the group not far in front of her.
"It doesn't belong to me, I don't deny that," I smiled, "especially when you see how much I don't like guns—"
As I slammed my elbow on her chest, Phyllis was in pain, and as soon as my arm loosened, I was able to escape the shackles, and she reacted quickly, raising the muzzle of the gun without hesitation and pressing the trigger.
"Ruori-sama!"
Someone exclaimed, someone gasped, someone rushed forward, however, nothing happened.
The expected blood-spattered scene didn't happen, and I was still standing in front of her, facing her terrified expression, and my smile gradually enlarged to the top of the last arc, revealing murderous intent.
Ye Ningchen had already rushed forward first and hugged me, and when Phyllis saw this, she couldn't care about anything anymore, and hurriedly fled backwards.
However, the back road has been blocked by my people, and it is impossible to escape from all directions, and there is no longer life.
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" I asked behind her, raising an eyebrow.
Fear, despair, and disbelief flashed across her pale face, and she took two steps back, staggered, and reached out to hold her chest, her expression overflowing with pain.
The gunshot wound last time was not healed, and it was the wound that hit her that time that we had a good enough effect.
"Why?" A few words came out of her lips, and the pain made her shrink her shoulders.
"As you can see, isn't it? There were no bullets in the gun. I replied indifferently, not in a hurry.
"Ha, haha......" She laughed inexplicably, painful and unwilling, like a terrible scream.
Yes, I also think it's funny that a person with a gun doesn't load a bullet, just like a person with a mission to adjudicate actually resists using a gun from the bottom of his heart.
From that time when I almost killed the first person in Si Tianzhe's car, I knew that my fear of killing was probably because of the fear of blood, maybe because the people I loved also left in this way, or maybe once I was stained with blood, I was no longer myself. I went to learn how to use a gun, and I wore it with me in subconscious self-defense, but I knew that the last time I was at the shooting range, I ran out of bullets, but I kept refusing to reload it.
Ambivalent, isn't it?
However, today is different.
All fears and sins will be put to an end by this gunshot, and what I have endured for so long will be put to an end today.
It's some kind of redemption, and it's going to be the beginning of another tragedy, but I can't do much about it.
I took the gun in Ye Ningchen's hand, slowly raised it, and stepped forward slowly.
"Now in the game, the fun part has just begun......"
This bullet should have been left to her two years ago, so no matter what, I will personally present this reward today. (To be continued......)
