Volume 4: Compromise and Struggle Chapter 26: Two Shots

The bookshelf thrown by Tilo hit Ed, and then Ed bumped into another bookshelf behind him, and the three of them were smashed from this balcony on the third floor of the hospital and flew down because of Tilo's unreasonable terrifying power.

I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, but here's the lane where Ed parked when he came over. And his car was parked on the side of the driveway. His car was parked right under the damn balcony of the damn room of the hospital.

With a loud bang, the first bookshelf smashed on the roof of Ed's car, then Ed smashed on the bookshelf, and then the second bookcase smashed on Ed.

Ed felt like he was going to die. He was wheezing violently, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and every muscle and bone in his body was screaming, crying, and moaning in pain. Except for his teeth.

Clenching his teeth, Ed's eyes were gloomy and his eyes widened, and he struggled to push away the heavy bookshelves on his body, but it was difficult to do so. On the one hand, it's because Ed is actually a little out of strength by now, he hasn't even eaten lunch yet, and he has been running all morning, and he has been fighting with the monster Tilo for so long. And on the other side - this thing on top of him is really fucking heavy. Hell, that weird woman, how did she throw it up like a bra-full hanger? And twice!

Calm down and calm down. The more times like this, the more we must not panic, we must not be chaotic, we must not escape, we cannot give up, we must not lose our minds, and we cannot be hysterical. Calm down, calm down, figure out the situation, judge the situation, make the best solution as quickly as possible, and then don't hesitate to execute it immediately - this is the supreme and efficient survival rule that Ed has specially summarized after I don't know how many similar crises are perfect for any situation!

He was convinced that what he had summed up was correct and that he was not wrong at all. But after all, no one is perfect, and absolute perfection, like an absolute circle, will always exist only in theory. It's like the wise saying that will never change in the past, present, or future at any time – "Don't bother when you think things are going bad." It's actually going to get worse."

In a few seconds, just as Ed was about to lift the mountain that was pressing on him, and lift it like lifting a quilt, another heavy falling sound sounded, and a heavy weight fell and smashed on the bookshelf above Ed.

"Bang-"

At this moment, Ed really felt like he was dying. In the middle of the burger, he turned into a medium-rare beef patty. The chef is not skilled, and the patty is not evenly pressed at all.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Looking up, Ed looked up through the mezzanine of the bookshelf and saw the last thing he wanted right now. Tilo stepped on the wood of the bookshelf and looked down at Eddard with his head down, his eyes indifferent and expressionless. She had a gun in her hand.

I see. Ed licked his lips and took a deep breath, looking at Shiro with his eyes half-open. It turned out that this woman had just gone to get her own gun, so it was no wonder that it took a while to chase after her. I wish she hadn't graciously invited the hapless Mr. Pafrenza to eat a bullet when she left, for he was in no position to stop the beast, so that the value of Pafrenza to him would rise in a straight line.

Of course, the premise is that now when she leaves, she will not be generous enough to invite him to eat a bullet.

"You're in luck, detective." Shilo looked down at Eddard, and suddenly opened his mouth and said, "In every way. ”

Ed grinned and grinned. "It looks like it does." He struggled to make a sound, the vibration of the air in his chest tugging at a pang of pain all over his body, but he could still hold back and not show it, "Are you going to kill me, doctor...... I advise you that it is better to kill me. ”

"Why?"

"Because if you don't, we'll meet again sooner or later."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Tithes crouched down. She suddenly leaned down and squatted, looking into Ed's eyes through the gap in the bookshelf, at the lucky man who was exhausted and immortal, at the nasty man who was still full of witticisms until now, and stared in silence for a while. Then, with a movement of the pistol in her hand, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at his head.

"Don't be too fast, detective." She whispered, "Don't be too fast. ”

"Not guaranteed." Ed's eyes remained motionless, and the inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth did not change at all, "You'll never know...... Never for sure. ”

The corners of Tilo's mouth twitched, and a strange smile suddenly appeared in Ed's surprised gaze. Whatever the meaning of that smile was, it was the first time that this steely woman had shown a different look in front of Tilo.

"I won't know, I can't be sure - will you, then?" She said slowly, looking at Ed without blinking, "Are you sure?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"I'm not looking forward to seeing you next time, detective." Shi Luo put the gun away and stood up, "I just have this feeling - I don't expect it, I don't expect to see you again." ”

With that, Tiji jumped off the bookshelf. Ed couldn't see where she went, but he didn't sit still. Although his body was repeatedly injured and his bones were about to break, he still tightened the muscles in his abdomen after taking two breaths, his chest bulged, and he concentrated his strength to overturn the large bookshelf on his body to the ground.

Exhausted, Ed chose to continue lying in place after this. He now felt like he didn't even have the strength to sit up, and he needed a good rest, a drink at the bar, and two eggs or something. There's nothing quite like a low-quality cocktail for this moment.

Then, like a chicken alarm clock coated with strawberry jam at the head of the bed, Ed bounced again, and his center of gravity fell unsteadily off the bookshelf on the top of the car, and fell on the bookshelf that had fallen to the ground earlier. He got up and looked up, just in time to see the tithing he had just left rushing out of the direction of the hospital parking lot on a large mechanical motorcycle that looked as powerful as a black bull at first glance, and wore a round black helmet on his head.

She passed Eddard without stopping, roaring all the way down the only mountain road.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Ed looked at the woman's back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. Then he suddenly got up quickly, gathered the remaining strength in his body, ran to the corpse of the A.R.X private armed mercenary that he had seen on the flower bed in front of the hospital, pulled out his matching gun, ran back to the road, and raised his aim in the direction of the tithing riding a motorcycle in front of him.

One shot, two shotsβ€”there was almost no pause in between, and after pulling the trigger twice in succession, he slowly lowered the pistol and watched Tilo's back disappear into the bend of the mountain road, leaving completely. He closed his lips in silence, and then suddenly glanced down at the black gun in his hand.

"It's really rich." He muttered under his breath, then dropped it on the ground.

……

Baflorence is still alive.

After Ed returned to the luxurious hospital room on the third floor, he saw the strong man sitting up on the bed, leaning over to get something out of the bedside table. He had a look of surprise on his face when he saw Ed, as if he hadn't thought he was still alive.

"I'm glad to see you alive."

Ed stepped forward and sat down beside Pafrensa, exhausted. He showed his qualities as a professional detective, and he felt that he should have a good smile, but the hapless Paflorenza looked at him no better than a turkey painted with green apples all over his body.

"I didn't expect you to be alive." Pafrenza said in a leaky, muffled voice, not at all polite towards Ed, "I thought that with a broken brain was going to kill you." ”

"I think so too."

Ed shrugged his shoulders and nodded earnestly, casually echoing. Then he turned his attention to the bedside table drawer that Paflorence had just wanted to open. He didn't think there was anything special about the bedside table, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the subtle change on Paflorenza's face as she noticed the change in his gaze.

He smiled, toothless, and reached for the cabinet in front of Paflorenza.

"Hey!"

Pafrenza shouted, and the hand that had not been broken by the tithes reached out to stop Eddard's movements, but was grabbed by Ed's prepared backhand. Ed looked at Paflorensa indifferently, the smile on his face disappearing, and his eyes shot a wolf-like sparkle.

Pafrenza shuddered, but still retained his stubbornness. "Get out," he whispered to Ed, "I heard the conversation between you and that, and I don't have much to say to you, private investigator." Don't think anyone can run over and in front of me - get out of here! ”

Ed didn't answer right away. He grabbed Pavrenza's wrist, slowly pressed his fingers, and then twisted violently. Paflensa let out a miserable howl.

"You people, haven't you lived an ordinary life for too long, and your brains have become bad?" Ed tugged at Paflorenza's arm and pulled him in front of him, "Listen to me, dear Mr. Paflorenzaβ€”I don't think there's any need for such tension between us, there's no need to stage a bloody, primitive barbarian-like plot like the impolite doctor just now, just sit down and talk quietly." You don't like me, I can understand it, and I don't need you to like it, I just need you to tell me what the excited doctor just now asked you about, and how did you answer her? Tell me and I'll leave right away. ”
