Ninth Symphony

"Huh...huh...his—"

There were depressing gasps from the corner of the room. In the darkness, Xi Le squatted behind the door with his back against the wall, listening to the movement outside.

He ran desperately just now to buy himself some time, those people were left behind by him, and he found that he subconsciously ran to the house where Du Nian spent the night last time.

The place has not changed at all, and it remains the same as when they left before, the quilt that he removed the cover is still intact and crowded into a pile on the bed.

But if you think about it, if there are really traces of being touched by others, Xi Le may not dare to stay any longer.

At this moment, the adrenaline level in his body should have dropped a little, and the pain sensation gradually recovered, and the two places where he was shot began to hurt terribly.

He bit his lip, feeling that his front and back were drenched in cold sweat, and his body was still chilling intermittently due to blood loss, his vision was clear and blurred for a while, and Xi Le realized that if this went on, he might have to confess here, I finally thought of "finding someone" for help, and now I can't let him play my temper...

There must have been bloodstains on the way he came here just now. Even if the night can be used as a cover to make the search a little more difficult, it won't last long. Those people will soon chase after him, and he has no strength to run anymore.

Xi Le panted repressedly and hurriedly, carefully bent the arm on the side of the uninjured shoulder, stretched to the edge of the trouser pocket with some difficulty, hooked the phone out, and swipe the screen with his fingers, but now his hands are covered with blood , One touch on the screen was a piece, it was slippery and there was no response at all, so he had to wipe his hands and the screen on his pants, the strength in his body seemed to be drained, just a few simple movements made him do it In the end, my hands were shaking.

Pressing on the screen, Xi Le struggled to unlock the phone with his trembling fingers, and found that the battery was running low, and the red bottomed out battery slot inexplicably gave him a sense of shock when he saw his health bar .

Is this a sign?Shi Le thought to himself mockingly.

And he suddenly thought, if he really had to die this time, what would Du Nian's reaction be?Will he be okay...

The call button under his hand has not been pressed for a long time.

Still... don't let him come.

If there are many people on the other side and they have guns in their hands, no matter how good Du Nian's skills are, there is no guarantee that he will be able to save him from retreating.What's more, he has no fighting power now, and he is completely a burden. What if Du Nian is so tired that he takes his life... That person will definitely do everything to protect him...

It's better for one person to die than for both of them to die.

The light on the phone screen completely dimmed again.

It was still very quiet all around.

Xi Le was not sure whether those people were chasing too slowly, or his hearing was not working well.He was experiencing the loss of consciousness inevitably caused by blood loss, his eyes were a little hard to open, and gradually he couldn't even hear his own breathing clearly...

This time, the unaccompanied person should be replaced by Xi Yin... He is finally at the end...

... "Lele!"

...Have you already begun to hallucinate... It seems that we are really about to say goodbye to this world...

"Lele?!" "Xiao Liu! Wake up!!"

The voice in his ears suddenly became clear and three-dimensional. Xi Le felt that his consciousness that was almost dissipated in the air came back a little bit. Two familiar faces appeared.

The faces of Du Nian and Li Dong.

"You...how..." Xi Le just said a few words when he felt a burst of blood rushing up in his throat, choking him so much that he couldn't continue talking, but coughed a few times weakly and hoarsely.

"Hold on... I'll take you out right away." Hearing Du Nian's words, Xi Le felt that there was some trill in his voice, not sure if it was an illusion.

Although Xi Le really wanted Du Nian to experience the feeling of worry before, but now seeing him in a hurry and feeling a little sorry, he wanted to say "Don't worry, I'm fine", but in the end he only uttered a few times He muttered vaguely, his throat was full of bloody smell, there seemed to be many small bubbles filled with blood, he was humming, and he couldn't make out what he was saying.

Well, at least he tried.

Du Nian performed simple hemostasis on Xi Le with extremely neat movements, and then Xi Le was picked up by him, and Li Dong helped to straighten him upright, letting Xi Le lie on Du Nian's back, Du Nian stabilized him with one hand while holding the gun in the other, and said to Li Dong: "Go and open the door, don't go out yet, wait until we leave and make sure you lure him away before you go, pay attention Safety."

Li Dong: "How can I do that?! I have to go with you so that I can take cover!"

However, Du Nian objected in a deep voice: "No, it is more risky to go together. They are targeting Lele. At least you can guarantee safety if you go alone. And you don't have a gun in your hand. It is impossible for me to take care of two people at the same time. "

"Then you still have to carry Xiao Liu on your back, what if someone blocks you?"

"I'm very familiar with this area. If you take a detour, you should have an advantage over them. But if you really can't avoid it, there's nothing you can do. Let's play it by ear." Du Nian said as he got up and began to move towards the gate.

Seeing this, Li Dong knew that he couldn't hold him back, so he could only listen to his orders first.

"...Understood." Li Dong sighed and stood up with his waist bent, walked to the door of the room with Du Nian and stood on both sides, then he opened the door a small crack, the outside was so dark that only the surrounding houses could be seen The indistinct outline, even half a figure can't be seen.

Li Dong turned around and asked Du Nian in a low voice: "Brother Nian, I can't see anyone, is it too dangerous for you to go out rashly like this?"

"No matter how dangerous it is, you have to get out." Du Nian's deep voice seemed to be tainted with a layer of cruelty in the darkness, and his arm holding Xi Le's back was also tightened, "There is no time to delay."

Li Dong understood what he meant, and looked at Xi Le worriedly, but unfortunately he couldn't see the real situation clearly, he could only feel that his aura was getting weaker and weaker.

"Then you must be careful." Li Dong nodded to Du Nian in the dark, then gently opened the door, leaving enough space for the two of them to go out, and then carefully closed the door after watching them leave live.

Here, Du Nian quickly walked out of the "base" with Xi Le on his back. In fact, Du Nian was already very anxious, wishing to send Xi Le to the hospital immediately, but he didn't dare to run too fast, for fear that he would lose blood if he was bumped too hard. More.

"Lele... Hold on... Promise me that you will hold on..." Du Nian could barely restrain himself in front of Li Dong just now, but now his voice was trembling uncontrollably.

He had never been so frightened.

Xi Le could feel the deep fear and uneasiness coming from his back when she lay on him, she couldn't tell what it was like, and after trying several times, she finally managed to squeeze out a few words that couldn't be connected into sentences: "Be careful ...can't escape...leave me alone..."

He spoke incoherently, but Du Nian understood.

What Xi Le wanted to say was: Be careful, if you can't escape, leave me alone.

Du Nian suddenly felt as if his internal organs had been set on fire, burning and hurting.

At this moment, there was movement behind him suddenly, Du Nian's keen reflexes made him dodge to the side in an instant, and the whistling of bullets almost passed by his ears.

The opponent has already caught up.

The gun in Du Nian's hand was already loaded, and he walked quickly along the base of the wall and fired two shots behind him based on his feeling. According to the sound, he hit at least one person.

And his counterattack obviously enraged the other party, the gunfire suddenly became denser, and several rounds came at the same time. Fortunately, Du Nian took Xi Le around a corner to avoid it in time.

According to the analysis of the gunshots, Du Nian estimated that there were about four to five people chasing them, but he didn't know if all four or five were there, and whether there would be any of their accomplices guarding the entrance of the "base".

The movement just now must have alerted the police, but the reaction speed of the Iloka police has always been five to ten minutes slower than normal, and it may take more than a quarter of an hour to arrive at the scene. Du Nian thought that the reinforcements might not be counted on.

Even if he can really survive this period of time, no one can say what will happen to Xi Le's injury by then. In case... No, he must take Xi Le out as soon as possible.

The people behind were already chasing very close, and their footsteps and whispering could already be heard.

Relying on his familiarity with the route, Du Nian got through a dark alley bit by bit, changed to the other side of the path parallel to the road just now, and then sped up before the other party could react.

However, just as they were about to circle out of the "base", a person suddenly rushed out of the intersection in front of them. Du Nian fired reflexively. Unexpectedly, it was the opponent's "bait". The person was shot and fell down. But two gunshots came one after another. Before Du Nian could retract his hand, there was a sudden strain on his shoulder, and he was dragged back several steps. At the same time, a figure slowly moved in front of him. fell down.

"... Lele!!!" Du Nian's voice was distorted when he shouted.

At that moment just now, Xi Le didn't know where the strength came from, and grabbed his shoulders and rolled over from his back, pushing him backwards, but he himself blocked it for him. Those two shots.

"Don't..." At this moment, Du Nian's brain suddenly went blank. He looked at the person who fell in front of him, as if he had forgotten that he was still in danger, and he knelt down slowly.

And the person who attacked them seemed to have hit the "target" they wanted to hit the most, so they didn't make any further moves for a while.

"...Brother Nian! Xiao Liu!..."

Li Dong's voice came from not far away, he was really worried, and in the end he didn't obey and chased after him.

"Brother Nian?!" After running close, Li Dong was shocked by the scene in front of him, and after a few seconds of stunned, he suddenly leaned over and slapped Du Nian, "What are you doing! Send him to the hospital quickly!! "

Du Nian seemed to have been woken up, he raised his head suddenly and then lowered his head suddenly, his eyes fixed on Xi Le for a moment, and the next moment he reached out and hugged him up.

The siren can already be heard, and it is still approaching quickly.

And the group just now didn't know why, but they stopped here and retreated quietly.

The winter night is windy and cold to the bone.

Xi Le really felt cold this time.

Another two holes were opened in the body, and the cold wind poured in mercilessly, and the body temperature was quickly lost along with the blood, making the feeling of life passing concrete.

He could feel his body shaking uncontrollably, like a cramp, or it would be more accurate to say it was a convulsion.

Is this how you feel before you die?

If this is the case, wouldn't he have experienced it countless times before, and it seems that there is nothing new.

If it's not new, don't be afraid.

A hint of pride surged up in Xi Le's heart, for her calmness before she died and her ability to maintain a sense of humor that kept pace with the surrounding temperature.

"...Lele..."

Du Nian's voice suddenly became far away somehow, as if it came from another world.

"...Lele...Xi Le, I beg you...don't fall asleep...please don't fall asleep...we'll be there soon..."

This person, only now knows how to speak softly, isn't it too late...

At this moment, he was not in the mood to continue to be angry with him at all, but he really couldn't open his eyes anymore, he was too tired, and the sense of loss of strength from the inside out of his body had spread to every pore, until it completely submerged him.

"Du Nian, three years...even..."

After speaking, the world went completely dark.
