Chapter 39: Let's take a break
When Song Lan heard the news and went upstairs, the guard, whose injuries had stabilized, was lying on a stretcher and being carried downstairs.
Under the dual effects of painkillers and hypnotic sprays, the injured guard had fallen asleep, but despite this, the guard's brow was still furrowed, and his right arm, which was drooping like a strip of cloth, was no longer recognizable.
Along the way, he heard the comments of his colleagues, although the guards saved their lives, but even if they could be cured, the entire right hand would probably have to be replaced with a prosthetic, but with their meager wages, this level of surgery would undoubtedly instantly drain all his savings.
If you don't have prosthetic surgery, you can only say goodbye to the post of law enforcement officer completely.
Perhaps, this is not a good thing for the law enforcers of the 17th District.
Song Lan stood at the top of the stairs and had such a thought for the first time.
He and the colleague downstairs were speechless the whole time, only a brief contact between his eyes, and only when the footsteps completely disappeared, he continued to walk towards Lu Xiang's office.
"Knock knock."
"Please come in."
As soon as Song Lan entered the door, she saw the haggard Lu Xiang.
In his impression, Lu Xiang had never shown such a side, but even though she looked shaky, she was still sitting on the front line, and the tablet in front of her was full of dense information.
After saying "Please come in", Lu Xiang didn't seem to realize that it was Song Lan who entered the door, she stared at the information on the tablet with great concentration, completely immersed in her own world.
As you get closer, you can hear her muttering.
"The ability to manipulate the invisible, the ability to flatten objects, and the ability to escape into anomalous space and disappear into the invisible."
"No, it's impossible for one person to have two abilities at the same time."
"What's more, the attributes of these two abilities are completely different."
"So, there's a good chance she still has accomplices."
"A support type that can instantly transfer people and objects."
"She seemed to have left because she saw someone, but at the time, no one had ever been outside of the guard booth."
"The reason why she came to the 17th arrondissement is to find someone."
β¦β¦
Lu Xiang knew that even if everyone was immersed in the fear brought by Fein-Elnium, she couldn't stop thinking.
This is important information that her subordinates have worked hard to get in exchange, and as the leader of the enforcers of the 17th District, she must find the flaws in the opponent's ability before the next appearance of Fei Yin.
After a long time, Lu Xiang finally remembered something, and when he looked up, he saw Song Lan sitting beside him somehow.
"Oh, it's you."
She rubbed her forehead and pushed the tablet to the side.
She knew that the entire law enforcement department was now shrouded in the shadow of Fein-Elnium - easily infiltrating the law enforcement base without anyone noticing, and seriously injuring the guards on duty, leaving a scar from his abilities that would be hard to forget for the rest of her life.
And as someone who doesn't like fighting more than anyone else, Song Lan's uneasiness in her heart at the moment is probably much stronger than everyone else's.
"A Love Tip Every Day" said that at such a time, she should give the other party some encouragement, but ......
If you start from the rational, Lu Xiang really can't think of any inspiring words at the moment.
If she wants to deal with a criminal of Fei Yin's level, it is not something that can be done in a moment, and she has long left the school now, and there is no one around her who can help her with the analysis work.
What's more, Fei Yin also has a support-type ability that allows her to teleport, even if she appears at the door of her office in the next second, it is still possible.
Therefore, Lu Xiang had to consider the worst-case scenario.
"You're just in time."
Lu Xiang froze, "When I was researching the history of the enforcers in the Seventeenth District, I discovered some secrets about this building, there is a secret door behind the third cabinet in the storage room on the ground floor, where is the escape passage left by the original designer for the enforcers, if Fiin Elnim comes back, you have to hide in the storage room as soon as possible, and then find the secret doorββ"
"No matter what, I'm also a law enforcer."
Song Lan interrupted Lu Xiang, the atmosphere of parting from life and death made him very uncomfortable, no matter how these explanations sounded, it seemed that Lu Xiang was ready to die.
It seems that she is not sure that she will be able to take down Fein.
"I'm going to stay here." Song Lan pointed to the water cup on Lu Xiang's table, "If Fei Yin really comes back, I will smash her to death with the water cup." β
This good remark made Lu Xiang slightly stunned.
Stoned a felony with a 1.73 million bounty in a water cup?
She almost couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, in such a depressing atmosphere, Song Lan could still say such a cold joke.
This person always had the ability to surprise at odd times, and although it didn't help the current situation, it made her mood much better.
"You stayed up all night a few days ago, and you were called up in the middle of the night yesterday, so it's better to rest for a while, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it."
"But ......"
"If you meet her in your current state, I'm afraid you won't have a chance of winning, right?"
This time, Lu Xiang did not refute.
The pressure that has accumulated lately has almost crushed her, and Fein-Elnium may be the last straw.
"A quarter of an hour."
Lu Xiang relaxed, she closed her eyes, her body leaned to the right side almost reflexively, and when she came back to her senses, her cheek was already leaning on Song Lan's shoulder, "Wake me up in a quarter of an hour." β
"Hmm."
Song Lan smelled the faint fragrance of the shampoo, and the place where Lu Xiang's hair was rubbed was a little itchy.
The beauty on the side mentioned in the book refers to such a scene.
He listened to Lu Xiang's even breathing, stared at the small gun and shield banner on Lu Xiang's desk, but there was another thing in his mind.
Fein-Elnium is strong, stronger than he ever imagined.
So, this should be good news.
Because after today, Mr. Killer will be able to retire reasonably and honorably, and the Foster family's affairs will no longer concern him, and his life will be in a peaceful pace.
SONG Lan,
You should be happy.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze.
Perhaps due to long-term fatigue, Lu Xiang slept very deeply this time, and even Song Lan helped her fall on the sofa but couldn't wake her up.
Song Lan found a blanket, because Lu Xiang often had to stay in the office to work overtime, a simple bed was prepared inside, he bent down and gently covered Lu Xiang with the blanket, and then glanced at the time.
May 11, 2166, 11:21.
A quarter of an hour,
The time left for him this time was a little tight.
