Chapter 43: Vanity

"Stop me!!"

Ye Yu's roar was mixed with despair, and for a moment, the time around him seemed to be slowed down indefinitely.

Wu Xuebing's finger pulled the trigger, the bullet that slowly disarmed, and Xiao Yan's constricted pupils ...... Everything was like slow motion, and it was really real in Ye Yu's eyes.

At the same time, a scorching energy suddenly erupted from Ye Yu's chest, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed to Ye Yu's internal organs like a wild horse.

Green tendons burst out from Ye Yu's forehead and limbs, his eyes also turned blood-red under the congestion, and the sudden burst of power made Ye Yu instantly tear off the hemp rope on his hands and feet, get up and pounce on Xiao Yan!

"Bang!"

The bullet splashed a blood flower on Ye Yu's right shoulder, and with the sound of the bullet casing bursting, Ye Yu fell to the ground with Xiao Yan in his arms.

"What?!"

Wu Xuebing didn't expect that his bullet would hit an important experimental subject, and he was immediately surprised.

"Ye Yu!!" Xiao Yanhua's face was pale, and she shouted loudly while holding Ye Yu, who was bleeding non-stop.

"Damn! It's all because of you, a woman! Wu Xuebing's eyes widened angrily, and he raised his pistol again and aimed it at Xiao Yan.

At this most critical moment, the door of the factory was suddenly kicked open.

"Don't move!"

In an instant, a large number of heavily armed special forces poured into the factory from all directions, surrounded the three people in the center, and dozens of guns were aimed at Wu Xuebing.

The sharp turn for the worse made Wu Xuebing a little stunned for a while, Xiao Yan took the opportunity to grab the discarded iron pipe on the side and threw it at Wu Xuebing's gun-holding hand!

"Ahh Wu Xuebing let go of his hand in pain, and the gun fell to the ground. Xiao Yan immediately got up and stepped forward and kicked the pistol at Wu Xuebing's feet.

However, Wu Xuebing, who was dying and struggling, did not intend to surrender just yet, he had lost his mind, he suddenly pulled out the dagger on his waist, and set it up close to Xiao Yan, with the blade pointed directly at Xiao Yan's slender neck.

"Don't come here!!" Wu Xuebing roared loudly at the troops gathered around. "Otherwise, I will die with this woman!"

"Director, do you want to do it?" On the walkie-talkie, the sniper asked Lou Yue.

"Don't do it yet, let me talk to him." Lou Yue said, walked out of the surrounding troops, his dark pupils flashed with a fierce momentum, and looked directly at Wu Xuebing, who looked nervous.

"Stop! Don't lean in! Wu Xuebing roared angrily.

Lou Yue stopped, and his gaze moved to Ye Yu, who was lying on the ground not far away. I saw Ye Yu holding his blood-stained right shoulder panting, his expression was full of pain.

"Ye Yu, how are you?" Lou Yue frowned and asked softly.

"I was shot in the shoulder, but I should ...... It didn't hurt the vital point. Under the severe pain, Ye Yu's consciousness was slightly in a trance, after the outburst just now, he felt that the energy in his body was slowly concentrating from the wound on his limbs to his shoulders, the bleeding trend was also slowing down, and the blood color of his eyes had quietly faded.

"If you can move, come here." Lou Yue opened his mouth again and instructed, and then moved his gaze back to Wu Xuebing's face.

At this time, Wu Xuebing couldn't control Ye Yu anymore, he held Xiao Yan tightly and looked at the man in front of him vigilantly; And the moment Xiao Yan saw Lou Yue, his face showed a look of relief.

Ye Yu tried to calm his mind, looked up and saw the two sides of the confrontation, and instantly judged the current situation.

Although Ye Yu was very anxious about Xiao Yan's safety in his heart, with his current state, he was afraid that he would only lag behind, so he decided to follow Lou Yue's instructions first, got up in pain, and stumbled back to the large army behind Lou Yue. A few people from the army immediately rushed out to help Ye Yu aside and began to treat him urgently.

"How did you find here?" Wu Xuebing looked at Lou Yue fiercely.

"And thanks to the clues left by our 'amateur investigator'." Lou Yue glanced lightly at Ye Yu next to him. "If it weren't for the wagons and footprints he deliberately left behind, it would not have been so easy to lock the vehicle for route tracking."

Wu Xuebing's expression twitched for a moment, revealing a look of resentment. "Hmph, it looks like I'm planting on that kid again this time!"

"That's not all you have in the way." Lou Yue smiled. "The video of the kidnapping, the base station number from which the text message was sent...... All of these clever actions have become important clues for us to lock down this area. Of course, it was your gunfire that brought us here in the end. ”

Wu Xuebing glared at Lou Yue and did not speak.

"Say, 'Eat' where are they?" Lou Yue's cold gaze shot directly at Wu Xuebing's pupils. "You've become their outcasts now, and there's no point in covering them up anymore."

"'Abandoned son'? Hehehehe......" Wu Xuebing laughed nervously. "As long as the Blood Keystone is still in my hands, I can't be an outcast!"

"Do you think they're going to come to your rescue?" The corners of Lou Yue's mouth hooked, and he said sarcastically. "And do you think you'll be able to keep that Blood Keystone?"

"Even if I die, I won't let you take the Blood Keystone!" Wu Xuebing yelled excitedly. "For Xiaoxue's rebirth, the Blood Keystone is indispensable!"

"'Rebirth'?" Lou Yue frowned.

"He wants to use the Blood Keystone to read all of Zhao Xue's memories, and implant them into the brains of another innocent whose memories have been emptied, saying that this can find a healthy ** for Zhao Xue's 'soul' and achieve a new life." Ye Yu on the side explained. "All of this they did before was an experiment to modify the Blood Keystone and reduce side effects!"

"Ridiculous!" Lou Yue glared at Wu Xuebing angrily and scolded. "Is this another rhetoric to 'devour' them?"

"It's you guys who are ridiculous! I know you also have the Blood Keystone in your hands, and it is a terrible thing to have such a magical thing for nothing and not use it! “

"You have no idea how dangerous a Blood Keystone is." Lou Yue angrily interrupted Wu Xuebing's argument, "This kind of thing shouldn't exist in this world at all!" “

"For Xiaoxue, no matter how dangerous it is, I don't care!"

"Are you really doing it for her?" Lan Jue walked out slowly from behind Lou Yue, his expression changed from his previous laziness, revealing a serious and serious look. "You keep saying that you are for Zhao Xue, but you didn't stay by her side in her last moments, all this you did was just hypocritical self-satisfaction!"

"The last moment? What do you mean?! Wu Xuebing's eyes widened.

"Two days ago, Zhao Xue woke up." Lan Jue looked at Wu Xuebing and said word by word. "But it's a pity that she suddenly had complications shortly after she woke up, and she died last night, and your so-called transplanted 'soul' is just your wishful thinking."

"Impossible! That's impossible!! You're lying to me!! Wu Xuebing trembled violently, and roared loudly regardless of his image. I don't believe it!! ”

"If you don't believe it, you can check your voicemail now, your family has been looking for you since you 'disappeared', and in the past two days, they have been desperately leaving you a message hoping that you can see it, but until Zhao Xue died, I didn't get any response from you."

Wu Xuebing didn't dare to look away, so he could only hold the dagger against Xiao Yan's neck with one hand, and with the other hand trembling, he took out the mobile phone in his pocket and fumbled to open the voicemail.

"Learn Bing, Xiaoxue is awake!" A familiar voice came from the mobile phone, which was a message from Wu Xuebing's mother. "She really wants to see you, where the hell have you been? Call me back as soon as you receive it. ”

"Xiaoxue's condition is very bad...... Learn ice, come back soon! Otherwise, I'm afraid...... Alas......"

……

The messages were automatically broadcast one by one, telling Zhao Xue's increasingly serious condition, and Wu Xuebing's face became more and more ugly when listening to the content of the message.

"Toot - the latest news."

The voicemail prompted the last message, and this time there was no voice from Wu Xuebing's mother, but a faint sob.

"Xuebing......" A weak female voice came from the mobile phone, the moment Wu Xuebing heard the voice, his body shook suddenly, this is the voice of the woman who has haunted him for seven years - his wife Zhao Xue!

"Learn Ice...... Sorry ......"

However, before the words were finished, there was a sudden noise in the recording, and then hung up.

"Xiaoxue? Light snow! Wu Xuebing seemed to forget that it was just a recording, and yelled uncontrollably, while one hand immediately dialed his mother's phone.

Lou Yue didn't stop Wu Xuebing's move, but just gently swept his gaze over Xiao Yan, who was held in front of Wu Xuebing, and shook his head silently.

"Hey, hey! Is it learning ice? You're finally calling back......" Wu's mother's anxious voice came from the phone.

"Where's Xiaoxue!!" Wu Xuebing roared.

"Xiaoxue, she ...... Already...... Alas, you still haven't been able to see her for the last time......"

"Nope! No! No, it won't!! Ahh!!hhhh ”

Wu Xuebing completely collapsed, threw the phone out, and at the same time strangled Xiao Yan's neck with his left hand, and waved the dagger at Lou Yue with his right hand.

"You guys! It's all because of you! Under the huge stimulus, Wu Xuebing's last remaining shred of reason also collapsed. I remembered, yes! It was you who pushed Xiaoxue into the river and divided the corpse! Yes, you guys killed Xiaoxue!! ”

"What's going on? What nonsense is he talking about! Ye Yu was stunned.

"Side effects of using the Keystone to modify memories." Lou Yue sighed, "Memory is confused, he's crazy." ”

"Isn't that Xiao Yan very dangerous!" Ye Yu looked at Wu Xuebing, who was already completely crazy, and looked at Lou Yue nervously, but found that the latter looked calm.

"Since you killed Xiaoxue, then I will let this woman be buried with you!" Wu Xuebing's face was full of violence.

"Hmph, I advise you not to do that." Lou Yue chuckled, looking unhurried and impatient.

Before the words fell, Xiao Yan suddenly grabbed Wu Xuebing's right hand holding the knife, twisted his backhand hard, only to hear a crisp "click", Wu Xuebing's right hand was instantly folded into a strange angle, and the dagger also fell to the ground with Wu Xuebing's scream.

However, before Wu Xuebing could come back to his senses, he found that the scene in front of him suddenly flipped.

"Poof!!" With a loud muffled sound, Wu Xuebing was hit the ground by Xiao Yan with an over-the-shoulder blow, losing his ability to resist.

"I said it a long time ago......" Xiao Yan, who had completely gotten rid of the effects of the drug, looked at the lying on the ground and groaned. Wu Xuebing, who was groaning, said coldly. "None of the women of our Special Investigation Bureau are easy to mess with!"
