……

The bleak wind crept in through the gap in the windowsill, creeping up against Wan Hongyu's bare ankles, kissing her fair skin obsessively, making her fluttering thoughts slowly return to her body.

Standing in the luxurious suite of the Xinlong Hotel, the largest hotel in Tinglin City, she can overlook the bustling scene of the city center from the balcony, but this beautiful night view cannot make her feel nostalgic.

"Terminal No. 6292, the task has been completed......"

"Statistical Gains...... Not. ”

Escaped again.

Countless nightmarish containment missions naturally brought Wan Hongyu a wealth of experience, but at this moment, she had no way to judge her current encounter based on experience.

There was only a night between receiving the task issued by the black watch and prompting the completion of the task. The Chosen One came together, and before they could even elect a temporary captain, the mission was over.

In other words, there is a very powerful Chosen One who has taken the lead and has been hiding in the shadows all along, not knowing friend or foe.

"Bang bang bang!"

Just when Wan Hongyu was silently looking at the night view of the city outside the clean glass window, there was a sudden knock on the door of the suite.

Who could it be?

There was obviously a doorbell, but the person who came recklessly slammed the door with his fist...... I guess it's just that person.

Wan Hongyu's face couldn't help but show a trace of disgust, and he couldn't help but feel that terrifying scar face in his heart. The feeling that the Chosen One brought to himself could only be perfectly modified by the words ruthlessness and cruelty.

Other than that, Wan Hongyu almost thought he was facing a beast.

But even so, she felt that she didn't need to be afraid of the other party...... At least, there's a not-so-solid retreat behind you, isn't there?

Thinking of this, Wan Hongyu got up lightly and left the balcony. The soles of her shoes-free feet kept stepping on the cold ground, and the silk pajamas swayed with her movements.

Or hear the slight footsteps, and the rough knock on the door stops abruptly. Wan Hongyu walked through the living room to the door, took a deep breath of air, and then quickly opened the door as if he had made some kind of determination.

"Didn't I say it, I'll be there soon—"

When Wan Hongyu finally saw the face of the person who came clearly, the words in his mouth were like a grain of sand on his lips, rolling into his throat.

What caught her eye was that anxious face, slowly approaching herself; Immediately afterwards, a pair of powerful hands pulled her into his arms, and the unfamiliar temperature and rapid heartbeat made him feel a little sad inexplicably.

If, still, he's still there......

"You don't want to die...... I don't want you to die. ”

Feeling the warmth in his arms, he began to choke, as if he let go of his arm and he would drift away with the bleak wind.

"What are you doing......

Wan Hongyu struggled slightly, and realized that something was wrong with going on like this, so he reached out and closed the door, and the future person forcibly pushed it. Entered the room.

……

Everyone will die, including me.

Standing in the corridor of the operating room, the pungent smell of disinfectant mixed with blood stimulated Zhuo Xuan's sense of smell, and such a thought slowly rose in his mind.

The mission is over, and Xu Shilin should have survived.

But...... He is dead in front of him!

Not at the hands of the beast, not because of the killing of the chosen one, but because of a struggle, an accident!

In this way, Zhuo Xuan stood in place for a long time. The complicated feelings almost overwhelmed him, and the sound of his breathing became rapid, but it was as if there was a force that imprisoned him in place, making him take root and not leave.

It wasn't until he felt the trembling of the floor and the sound of countless footsteps like thunder that Zhuo Xuan realized how long he had been standing here.

"Don't move! Hands up! ”

"Hands up!"

The sound of angry cheers exploded in Zhuo Xuan's ears, followed by the sound of weapons being drawn in unison, and the officers of the Metropolitan Police Department rushed to the scene one after another, aiming their pistols at the young man with dull eyes.

Zhuo Xuan cooperatively raised his hands and slowly fell to the ground, motionless. A group of police officers immediately approached and handcuffed Zhuo Xuan.

"Zhuo Xuan? Why are you here? ”

An incredible voice sounded in Zhuo Xuan's ears, and he turned his head blankly, only to find that the speaker was actually Zhang Lian, a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department.

If you count this encounter, they are already old friends.

This young policeman with a sense of justice once guided Zhuo Xuan in the direction when he was most helpless, and it can be said that he was the key existence that indirectly guided Zhuo Xuan to the path of the Chosen One.

Although Zhuo Xuan also thought about this matter carefully later, and felt that there were some indescribable strangeness, but because there was no evidence, he could only rely on imagination and speculation to reason, and finally had to give up temporarily.

Now, to Zhuo Xuan's surprise, everything seems to be under the control of fate, and the two of them are like being entangled in the strings of puppets, and they meet again unexpectedly.

"Officer Zhang, Officer Zhang," Zhuo Xuan blinked, and the color of surprise dissipated, only gloom.

Naturally, there was no time to say more about the greetings, and after investigating the surveillance video, Zhuo Xuan's suspicion was quickly lifted. Some of the officers were immediately dispatched, leaving only a few officers to clean up the scene, which will be a key piece of evidence for them to prosecute the suspects.

Zhang Lian saw that Zhuo Xuan was still looking worried, thinking that he was frightened by what he had just done, and couldn't help but smile and comfort: "It's okay, don't be afraid." ”

"I'm not afraid." Zhuo Xuan shook his head.

Zhang Lian smiled bitterly: "Then are you blaming me for putting you in shackles just now?" ”

"There's nothing," Zhuo Xuan hurriedly waved his hand. See, there is always some respect in his heart. Maybe this is insignificant to Zhang Lian, but Zhuo Xuan knows what he has experienced and what kind of help Zhang Lian has given him.

These helpers have added a little warmth to his lonely journey, which makes Zhuo Xuan grateful.

Neither spoke anymore. Zhuo Xuan silently watched Zhang Lian walk to the side and talk to a certain police officer, and then the other party kept nodding and trotted all the way out of here.

Xu Shilin's death was too sudden, and it happened under Zhuo Xuan's nose, and the impact on his soul can be imagined. This is not to say that Zhuo Xuan is lamenting the loss of a life, after all, after embarking on the path of the Chosen One, accepting death is an unavoidable instinct. Moreover, Zhuo Xuan had also gained a wealth of combat experience in the dream realm constructed by the Hydra, and he thought that he could be invincible.

Yet, as a possibility gradually formed in his mind, he still felt fear.
