Wedge - Chapter 1 Two Souls
wedge
This is the central square of the D3 district.
Angel has been lurking in this downtown area for half a month, kneeling in front of the ventilation window with two tall wooden boxes under her, looking at the central square through a sniper scope.
The room was dark and silent, she was motionless, wearing a black sniper suit that made her less and less present in this space, as if it was indistinguishable from the statues in the square, only the occasional slight movement of her narrow eyes.
Angel, which is the name of the organization, because one of her hands to send people to heaven has never been mistaken. Everyone in the industry knows that the most terrifying sniper among the snipers is the sniper codenamed "Grim Reaper", and the code name of the other one is such a gentle and beautiful word, which is really ironic.
A deep baritone sounded over the communicator, "Outside temperature 26°C, wind level 2, good visibility, humidity 43%......"
A perfect sniper environment! Angel praised in his heart.
At a quarter past nine, there were more and more people in the square.
"Attention parties, the target is close to five kilometers, over." Another voice in the communicator gave a quick and short reminder.
Angel made sure everything was ready for the last time, and put his black-gloved right hand on the trigger.
The vehicle could only drive slowly in the downtown area, and it took nearly three minutes to enter the firing range.
Angel stares at a white Bugatti through a sniper scope.
This time, there was no further reminder in the communicator, and Angel visually estimated that he was more than two kilometers away from the target.
in another building.
The commander-in-chief sat in front of the monitor with a headset and a calm expression. Angel's highest record was 1977.5 meters, and the environment at that time was not as good as it is now, as long as there was no accident, the sniper rate was more than 90%, which was one of the main reasons why the organization sent her on a mission.
The car was parked at the entrance of the building and the door was opened.
At such a critical moment, Angel's breathing was smooth, no different from usual.
In the sniper scope, I saw a middle-aged man walking out of the car, wearing a dark gray striped suit with a well-cut fit, outlining his good figure, looking only about forty years old, but from the information, he was nearly fifty years old.
Angel's sniper rifle locks onto his head.
She felt a flash of light on the opposite side, and the nervous voice of the shooting deputy was immediately heard from the communicator, "Enemy sniper spotted, Angel exposed." ”
A dead silence ensued, and the commander-in-chief gave no orders.
Now she could save her life by jumping off the box immediately, but Angel didn't hear what the deputy said, and his dark eyes were fixed on the target in the sniper scope, like a falcon hunting.
In the sniper scope, the target is already walking up the stairs under the escort of bodyguards.
There are still ten meters to go and get out of the sniper range!
Target locking.
Angel quickly calculates his walking speed and bullet rate, and as the target moves, she must shoot the bullet exactly where the target is expected to be in a few seconds.
In the half a month she has been here, she has rehearsed and calculated more than a thousand times in her heart, and after a second, she pulled the trigger without hesitation. A sniper rifle equipped with a muffler silently fires a bullet.
At the same time, there was a loud bang in front of him.
She saw a bullet shatter the frosted glass of the ventilation window, and it was coming at her.
There was a sudden chill on his forehead.
The voices of the commander-in-chief and the co-shooter in the communicator sounded at the same time.
"Target hit, retreat."
"Angel, how are you? Complete! ”
Angel fell from the box, his shaky gaze looking through the shattered ventilation window to see a blue sky, and his eyes slowly fell into darkness.
It was a perfect sniper, a perfect end to her life, at least, since she was sixteen years old.
It is said that when people die, they will recall many beautiful things in the past, but her mind is blank at the moment, and only the blue sky in front of her is deeply imprinted in her heart.
In the building, the commander-in-chief slowly exhaled a breath and was silent for a long time before lighting a cigarette.
He didn't see the picture, but he had a hunch that she was gone.
In addition to her excellent sniper skills, there is another important reason why Angel was sent on this mission - she is a perfect killing machine, as long as she does not take back the order, even if her life is threatened, she will definitely complete the mission without any psychological obstacles.
The man's slender fingers held the cigarette and gave the order in a deep voice, "Bring back the angel." ”
Chapter I
Nights.
The fog was thick, the grass was rustling, and the sound of hurried footsteps sounded.
A dozen or so pink-clad girls fled aimlessly in the wilderness, their hair hanging and scattered, sweat pulling their messy hair on their cheeks, and the corners of their skirts scraped by dead branches.
A delicate girl was left behind, gasping for air, spraying mist flowers mixed with the thick fog, her eyes full of fear and despair.
Another girl rushed back and grabbed her, "Run, run, Ah Jiu, they will catch up!" ”
"Ah Shun ......" The girl who was called Ah Jiu snorted and panted, tears gushing out uncontrollably, "I, no, you can go quickly." ”
Ah Shun pursed his lips and dragged her to run.
Ah Jiu was already at the end of the crossbow, and his legs were already weak, and he was dragged so suddenly, he fell to the ground with a poof, and he no longer had the strength to get up.
"Ah, someone's house! Someone's home! ”
The group of girls was no longer visible in front of them, only their joyful shouts could be heard.
Ah Shun dragged Ah Jiu up from the ground, "Did you hear it, there is someone in front, you can hold it up a little longer." ”
Ah Jiu's tears burst like a, and he was lying on his stomach softly, and he couldn't even take a step.
Ah Shun saw the faintly dancing fire in the dense fog behind him, and knew that the people chasing them were close, so he simply gritted his teeth and carried Ah Jiu on his back and ran forward.
They were brought over from Yangzhou by human traffickers, and the man lied to them that they were going to be sold to a large family as maids, but who knew that Lu Dao was actually sold into an incense hall!
Xingxiangguan is the most famous brothel in Bianjing, and its reputation is so great that even these little girls in Yangzhou have heard of it.
I don't know who said a few words, so they waited for the opportunity to flee collectively, and they didn't think about what to do when they escaped.
Ah Shun was sold into a local brothel in Yangzhou when she was five years old, and raised for seven years, at first she was doing rough work in the kitchen, and then she was found by the bustard that she was becoming more and more standard, and was raised as a lady, so she was more knowledgeable than these little girls, and she also had strength.
It is impossible for a big family to want a maid like her bought from a brothel, she only saw this resale as an opportunity to escape from the beginning, but she has to leave a way back - Ah Jiu is already very beautiful at a young age, and the old bustard will definitely value it very much, if she can please Ah Jiu, even if she is unfortunately caught, as long as Ah Jiu can ask for a few words, she will not be sent away indiscriminately.
Seeing the thatched house, Ah Shun rushed into the house with a bang, put Ah Jiu down, and breathed a sigh of relief.
By the glimmer of light, Ah Shun saw the girls lying in all directions, and asked, "Is there no one here?" ”
One of the maidens said, "No, it seems to be the place where the hunters used to stay." ”
Wait for someone here to catch you?
Ah Shun lowered his eyes and looked at Ah Jiu who looked like a puddle of mud, his eyes flashing slightly.
She turned around and saw a bow and arrow hanging on the wall near the doorway, so she took it down, "I'll go and see if anyone is chasing me." ”
Ah Jiu collapsed on the ground, the violent ups and downs of his chest gradually stabilized, but his gaze became more and more distracted.
"Ahh
The terrible screaming in the distance stopped abruptly only halfway, and Ah Shun's feet retracted when he stepped out.
The girls were like a group of frightened little beasts, huddled together in a clump, and their faces were full of fear.
The despair, the pain, and the fear in that voice were so clear that one could smell death.
Ah Shun's face was pale, he was silent for a moment, raised his feet and rushed out, and then the girls all got up and ran out.
In the fog, more than a dozen black shadows fell silently around the courtyard.
"Who's Umejiu?" The man in black asked, standing in front of the broken door.
These people were full of murderous aura, and they were definitely not the guards of the Xingxiang Pavilion, Ah Shun dodged into the house in a panic.
"Hand over the lives of Mei Jiu, Rao Er and others." The cold, rough voice sounded again.
The girl who was a little bolder lowered her voice and hesitated, "Mei Jiu...... Could it be that they said Ah Jiu? ”
Ah Jiu, no one knows what her surname is.
The people outside did not have the patience to wait, and in the hazy fog, the man in black led by him raised his chin slightly, and a man in black on his right side jumped into the courtyard like a goshawk.
Rushing into the house like a cluster of arrows, the white blade was cold, and he said to the remaining girls, "If you don't want to be a dead soul under the sword, you can all get out of the house!" ”
He clearly pointed in one direction, but everyone thought that he was threatening his life, and the girls' minds were blank, and they only knew how to cry.
The man in black did not hesitate to swing his sword and kill the girl closest to him, and finally someone couldn't stand this scene and ran out of the city in a panic.
Someone took the lead, and the rest ran out in a daze.
Seeing that there were not many people left in the house, Ah Shun, who was holding the bow and arrow, was particularly conspicuous, her hand holding the bow and arrow tightened, gritted her teeth and lost her only weapon, and ran away.
The man in black with the sword saw that there was another girl lying on the ground in the room, her eyes were wide open, her pupils were dilated, and her chest was no longer undulating.
The fingers touched the girl's delicate skin, as if touching a slightly cool satin.
Dead indeed.
He strode out of the city.
Outside, in the dark night, a group of young girls hugged each other and shivered, making a trembling whining sound.
"Who's Meijiu!" The man in black at the head asked.
No one answered.
Ah Shun's face turned pale and he bit his lip stubbornly.
The nearby man in black easily killed a girl with a sword.
"Who's Umejiu?" The man asked again.
The girls looked at each other in horror, wanting to see if Ah Jiu was by their side, so that they could push her out.
After only a split second of hesitation, two more girls fell.
Looking at the blood of the people who have been getting along for months on the spot, how can they be indifferent, not to mention that they are all half-grown children!
For a while, they fled and cried like frightened birds, and the scene was chaotic.
……
"She's in the house!" Ah Shun screamed and lay next to the girl who had fainted next to her.
She thought she was doing something hidden, but it didn't escape the eyes of these people, and the black-clothed leader said, "Is there anyone else in the house?" ”
The person who had just been ordered to enter the house bowed his head slightly and said, "Yes, but it's dead." ”
"Drag it out." The black-clothed leader said.
The man took the command and turned around.
Suddenly!
Whoosh.
He watched as he was shot by an ordinary arrow, and he didn't even have time to react.
The leader of the men in black standing at the door opened his eyes slightly.
Blood mist spray.
Inside the house, Ah Jiu was lying quietly in front of the window, his dark eyes were silent, and he couldn't see a trace of cowardice, and the whole person was dissolved in the darkness.
Sweat slid down her sideburns, and the pain in her head made her frown slightly.
She is a wisp of remnant soul, imprisoned somewhere since she died, unable to wander or reincarnate, her consciousness becomes more and more blurred as time goes by, and at this moment she is completely awakened by the huge murderous aura around her.
She didn't know what was happening in front of her, but she had an instinctive sense of danger. She found that she could control this body, but this body was severely overstretched, and now it was only using her will to force it.
Luckily, there was a bamboo bow hanging from the wall of the house, a thing that was once her favorite, and she was a competitive archer before she became a sniper.
Unfortunately, there were only five arrows......
In such a situation, there is no possibility of escape!
I've been imprisoned for too long, and I have no regrets about being able to have this moment of freedom and touch the most familiar things before I die.
With the mentality of "even if you die, you have to pull a few more pads", she silently estimated the current wind speed and humidity, with this degree of visibility and hardware conditions, it is unlikely that one arrow will kill two people, and she can only roughly estimate the rate of fire and range of this bow and arrow, the only gap that can be drilled is that the other party does not know how many arrows she has in her hand.
Thinking about it, she loosened her fingers on the bowstring and shot the man in black near the window with precision.
The black-clothed leader shouted, "Come out! Otherwise I'll kill them! ”
She knew the girls and didn't intend to accept the threat at all, but she was about to release the arrow when she suddenly noticed that her fingers were out of control.
"I want to save Ah Shun, I want to save Ah Shun......"
A weak and stubborn voice suddenly appeared in her mind, she was stunned, wasn't she reborn, but a ghost possessed another body?!
A moment of surprise made her completely lose control of her body, but this time she did not lose consciousness as usual, but was able to see everything in front of her.
Mei Jiu also seemed to feel something strange in her body, but she didn't have time to think deeply, and immediately dropped the bow and arrow in her hand and prepared to rush out.
