Byron's Blade

The smoke was so thick that he couldn't see anything clearly, Mu Li could only see the coiled wires under his feet, which was the most common thing in the studio.She touched it along the right hand side, her steps were as light as a civet cat.At the same time, she was listening carefully to the voices in the entire studio.

It was silent, except for some slight whimpers and the sound of clothes and shoes rubbing against the ground, Mu Li could not hear other sounds.

Robert's voice came from the headset:

"Captain Mu, are you sneaking in alone now?"

"Yes." Mu Li replied briefly.

"Why don't you lead the team in, I order you now, let the rest of the people enter the scene, and subdue the criminals immediately!"

"Lieutenant Colonel Robert, I judge that there is something abnormal at the hostage scene, and we are currently investigating. After I eliminate the danger, I will naturally let everyone in." Mu Li said.

"Captain Mu, do you want to disobey the military order?" Robert's voice came coldly.

Mu Li didn't answer any more, and continued to do things according to his own ideas.She closed the communication channel corresponding to Robert, and continued to grope forward.Not long after, she saw the first figure.

A person who looked like a staff member was leaning in a corner, his hands were tied behind his back, his feet were also tied, and his mouth was taped.Look carefully, just around this person, there are many hostages in the same state as him.

Mu Li quietly leaned forward and patted the man on the shoulder.The man was startled, and when he saw Mu Li, he immediately wanted to cry for help, but Mu Li immediately made a silent gesture, then cut off his shackles, opened the helmet, and she whispered in the man's ear :

"Walk along the wall, go out when you see the door, someone will answer you. Calm down, don't panic."

The man nodded quickly, followed Mu Li's instructions, and disappeared into the smoke on tiptoe.Not long after, Mu Li heard the news from the military police outside:

"Captain Mu, a hostage has come out."

"Okay, everyone who comes out will report to me."

Mu Li started to rescue the hostages silently, one or two, and everything seemed to be going very smoothly.After rescuing eight people in a row, the gangster still didn't respond, and Mu Li didn't see where Mary and Dora were.

There are a total of twelve hostages nearby, and all of them have been rescued.There were still eleven hostages left, Mu Li squatted on the spot and turned on the thermal detector, and found that they were all gathered at the west gate.Mu Li counted carefully. There were twelve people at the west gate, eleven of them were squatting, and only one was standing. He didn't look tall, and he should be holding a gun in his hand.

Mu Li's nerves were tense, she knew that there was another person who might be right behind her.

"Mu Li...you are finally here..." Sure enough, Mary's voice sounded behind her.

Mu Li slowly stood up and put away the dagger.Mary's voice sounded like a different person, so calm and cold, as if she had no emotion.

"Why did you let those twelve people go?" Mu Li asked.

"Because I don't need so many people. What I want are not hostages at all. They will only get in the way." Mary said.

Mu Li turned around and saw Mary standing in the smoke, with a pistol/gun in her hand, pointing at Mu Li.The image of the cowardly, gentle and kind mother has disappeared, and her face is only cold, and the resoluteness hidden under the coldness.

Mu Li looked at her silently.

Just when Mu Li and Mary were in a confrontation, Robert, who was in charge of the car, was furious and smashed the earphones on the ground. He who always boasted of being elegant and noble, now looks like a raging lion out of control.

"Who! Who closed the command channel of the military and police! Father will never do this! You check it for me, and go back to Smith's mansion immediately!"

A military and police officer who received the order responded in a panic, and then quickly got out of the command vehicle, leading a small group of people, and rushed to Smith's mansion immediately.

At the same time, in Smith's mansion, in the center of the study room, a figure was hanging and swinging back and forth under the chandelier, a chair was kicked over under his feet, his face was blue and hideous with a big beard, and he couldn't believe himself until he died. To end his life in such a way.

Lieutenant General Smith has hanged himself to death!

And right next to his body, the murderer gently put down the suicide note, finished the final layout work, and gently brushed a strand of hair hanging down with his hand in black gloves. There was indifference.She opened the door of the study quietly, walked out, and closed the door behind her.Then she walked unhurriedly through the corridor, took off her gloves and mask, took off her coat, wrapped them together, picked up a handbag she had placed on the carpet in the corridor, and stuffed these into it.She straightened her hair again, and the Asian face was as calm as water.

Inoue Kazu left the murder scene in this way, and entered and exited the lieutenant general's mansion as if he had entered no one's land.

She came to an alley not far from Smith's mansion, and got into an inconspicuous car.In the driver's seat, sat a hunched middle-aged man with a humble and cowardly appearance. It was the cleaning uncle that Mu Li had met at the beginning.

Sitting on the right side of the back seat, Inoue threw the bag in her hand aside, and then she saw another bag and asked:

"what is this?"

The rickety man in front spoke, his voice didn't sound like a middle-aged man at all, but a young man's voice, and the voice sounded very familiar:

"It contained some items in the dormitory of Rui Qiao and Mu Li. I went there and took away some of the more important things. After today, they... can't go back there, don't give People left a handle."

"Well, you think carefully." Inouehe smiled, and then she began to grope for the skin under her neck, tearing and saying:

"I can finally take off this thick camouflage. Inoue and this little girl are too different in size from me. I have been holding back for almost a month, and I feel so uncomfortable."

"Hehe, it's hard for you to make me feel uncomfortable. I'm still on my back." The man sneered.

With a snort, "Inoue Kazu" uncovered the artificial skin on his face, took off his wig, and revealed his disguised face.Blonde hair and blue eyes, with a sweet smile, as bright as ever.

"You should take off your disguise soon, the mission is over, we can retreat now," she said.

The man said cautiously: "Wait until we leave the main city completely, I don't want any accidents."

"You, even if you're too cautious, it's no wonder the leader put you next to Mu Li first." The woman laughed.

The man didn't answer, but started the car and drove away slowly.The woman picked up her makeup bag and touched up her makeup, then asked:

"Tell me, can she understand the hints we gave Mu Li?"

"She is very smart, I believe she will understand. This is a huge test and test. If she can succeed, then our future, the future of this world, can be entrusted to her with peace of mind." The man said in a deep voice Said.

"It's just that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. I was almost exposed twice, which caused me to kill two more people." The woman complained.

"That Elisa was indeed an accident. If you hadn't insisted on killing the fifth predator, you wouldn't have exposed it. If you kept her, our plan would be easier to implement. But that Charlie Field really It's very cunning, if we hadn't discovered it early, maybe our plan would have been exposed to Andres." The man analyzed.

"What do you mean I had to kill the fifth predator? The situation was urgent. If I didn't show up, Bailey would die." The woman argued, and then changed the topic again, "That Charlie Field is actually Andre Andres' dog, Andres is really sensitive."

"Hmph, it's useless to be sensitive anymore." The man sneered again, driving the car and disappearing into the complicated streets of the main city.

***

The hostage scene, the confrontation between Muli and Mary is still going on.

"Why did you do that?" Mu Li turned off all communication channels, took off his helmet, and asked.

"Is there any other reason, for revenge." Mary replied lightly.

"It seems that when you used me, you didn't hesitate at all. The bug, you put it on when you were tidying my clothes that day." Mu Li said again.

"Ali, you are actually really smart."

"I might not have come, but I came anyway. I want to hear your own answers to some questions." Mu Li said, "Tell me, did you do this on your own will, or was it forced by General Friesman. "

Mary lowered her hand holding the gun, smiled, and said:

"I already have nothing, and no one can force me to do anything."

"You have the determination to die, don't you?" Mu Li said softly.

"It doesn't matter if I die. I'm just worried about Dora's future. She needs to have a bright future. The sky above her head is too dark now." Mary raised her head slightly.

"You don't have a split personality, do you?"

"Hehehe, is it so rare for a person to be in three camps? I am not a split personality. Split personality is just an excuse to explain that I am in three camps. Those gangs of rigid-headed believers don't understand the complexity of people. , not any data can be calculated." She paused, looked at Mu Li and said, "Obviously, they won't understand what kind of existence you are."

The corners of Mu Li's eyes trembled. After a while, she licked her lips and said:

"I ask you, what should I do?"

Mary looked at her, and suddenly smiled kindly, as if she was the same as before, like all the mothers in this world, and said softly:

"Good boy, you need to think and judge for yourself." She took off her coat, and Mu Li saw the bomb strapped to her body, but she pulled out the fuse of the bomb and said:

"Ali, I know what you are here for. You are here to kill me with your own hands."

Mu Li's body began to tremble slightly, and he bit his teeth hard.

"If you kill me with your own hands, you won't be implicated too much, and naturally Miss Lani won't be implicated either. After all, I can become your relative, and all the changes to my household registration are arranged by her. If you want to check, you can find it. Kill me, you still have a future, you still have a future, and maybe you can make a little change for the world on the right path.

You still have another choice, that is not to kill me, but to save me as before, after knowing everything, without hesitation.Boy, I know you can do stupid things like that.But I am a mortal person, no matter what, what awaits me in the future is death.I am a chess move, a chess move that acts as a bomb, the bomb is timed, and no matter what, it will explode.

So my child, you can come here, it means that you have made a lot of determination, and you should know what kind of choice to make. "

Mu Li slowly pulled out the hand/gun from the holster on his waist, the hand holding the gun was trembling uncontrollably.

"I know you're scared, and I'm scared too. It's okay, everything will be fine, and there will be a day when the sun will fill the world. For six years, I have been dreaming of such a scene all the time." Mary clasped her hands, with a look on her face. The smile became sacred, as if returning to the pure and lovely girlhood, in the church of her hometown, singing in a low voice to the beautiful God of law, order and kindness.

Mu Li slowly raised his hand that was not holding the gun, opened the zipper around his neck, took out the pendant engraved with Thor's Hammer, and asked:

"The last question, give me this, what is it for?"

Mary looked at her with pity, and said:

"This is a talisman for you. There are too many uncertainties in the future. Even if you do your best, it is difficult to fully grasp it. So I give you a talisman. Don't use it unless it is absolutely necessary."

Mu Li put away the pendant and remained silent.

"The smoke is almost gone, make up your mind, kid."

Mu Li's lips were trembling, and her whole body was shaking. She put on the helmet again with difficulty, and opened the private communication channel with Rui Qiao:

"Aqiao...I beg you to do something."

"Tell me." Rui Qiao didn't talk too much nonsense.

"Anyway, save Dora, she's at Simon."

"okay, I get it."

"Aqiao..." Mu Li hesitated to speak.

"Ok?"

"It's okay, let's talk about it after the matter is over." After Mu Li finished speaking, he hung up the communication.

She switched to the command channel, and with a difficult voice, gave the order:

"Everyone listen to my order, assault!"

"Bang", all three gates were knocked open, and a large number of military and police personnel rushed into the scene.At the same time, Mary rushed towards Mu Li like crazy, shouting:

"For equality! For Li Byron!!!"

Mu Li raised his pistol/gun, with red eyes, and pressed the trigger.

The sound of gunfire echoed violently in the studio, and time was slowing down. The bullet penetrated the brain, causing bursts of blood.The mother's expression was fixed at the last crazy look.Mu Li has so many unforgettable memories in her life, and this moment is the most difficult and sad scene among her many unforgettable memories, so that many, many years later, when she recalls it, her heart will tear and hurt.

Dora's scream sounded behind her, so miserable, so angry, she couldn't even utter a word with clear meaning, she was just screaming, like a wild beast completely out of control, venting hoarsely.

Ximen, Rui Qiao was at the end of the line, took out the pistol and threw it out.All of a sudden, the whole Ximen was in chaos, and someone shouted:

"Who threw it!"

The remaining eleven hostages were panicking for help, while Dora was rushing towards Mu Li angrily, and had already raised her gun, intending to shoot Mu Li.Rui Qiao found the direction in the smoke, rushed forward recklessly, hugged Dora, picked her up and left.

"I killed her! I'm going to kill her!!!"

Without saying a word, Rui Qiao tried her best to control the struggling Dora, and ran to the corridor outside the studio.

"You let me down! She killed my mother, and she did it!! I'm going to kill her...I'm going to kill her..."

"Dora! Calm down! Let's go home, let's go home!"

Dora couldn't hear anything, she was still screaming and struggling, fell off Rui Qiao, and ran back rolling and crawling.

Rui Qiao turned around to catch up, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and slapped Dora's neck hard, knocking her out, then picked her up and continued to run forward:

"No matter how bad Sarriel is, it's still our home. Miss Pisco's spirit is in the sky, and she will bless you."

Meanwhile, as the studio passed through the initial chaos, someone exclaimed:

"The little one ran away!"

"Damn it, it's so cunning to let go!"

"Captain Mu! Please give me instructions!"

However, Mu Li froze in place, motionless.

"Captain Mu?" the soldiers and police under him shouted anxiously and confused.

At this moment, the sound of glass shattering was suddenly heard outside.Someone exclaimed:

"Shot! That little one, shot!"

"Is it our sniper? Who is that military police? Is she chasing that little one?"

"No, it seems that even one of my own people was hit!"

Mu Li was startled, and hurriedly turned around and ran down the corridor.As soon as she entered the studio and turned a corner, she saw Rui Qiao and Dora fell to the ground in the corridor more than 80 meters away. Rui Qiao kept pushing out and lay on the ground, and Dora was three to five meters in front of her. Besides, blood has stained the floor red.

There was a "hum" in Mu Li's mind, and suddenly his eyes flickered, which was reflected by the sniper lens of the opposite building.She quickly turned on the telescope function of the helmet goggles, and saw the figure of a sniper ambushing on the ninth floor rooftop.

Eric Sean!

Mu Li turned his head and ran towards Rui Qiao, ordering while running: "Go call an ambulance to save her!" The military and police soldiers behind him responded immediately.

However, she had just run less than 30 meters when she saw four masked gangsters with guns turning out from the end of the corridor. Li shot and fired.

Mu Li quickly lay down, and saw one of the four gangsters, suddenly opened the corridor window, raised the gun in his hand, and shot at the opposite building, the target was Eric Sean opposite.The last gangster rushed to Dora and Rui Qiao, Mu Li clearly saw that the gangster wanted to rescue both of them at first, but pushed and shoved Rui Qiao for a while, and finally left Rui Qiao and hugged Dora just run.

The two gangsters who were suppressed by fire at the front retreated quickly after firing a round of bullets, and disappeared soon.

The corridor was in a mess, and the military police behind them were caught off guard and suffered heavy injuries.But Mu Li didn't care about anything, and rushed straight to Rui Qiao.

"A Qiao... A Qiao! Where are you hurt?"

She knelt down, turned Rui Qiao over, and immediately saw a huge gun hole in her heart.

"No, no, I won't..." Mu Li reached out to seal the wound.

Rui Qiao's mouth was bleeding, and she stretched out her hand with difficulty to grab Mu Li's shoulder, leaning close to her ear and saying:

"Don't... avenge me...."

Mu Li desperately shook his head, swinging his body back and forth like a trapped animal.

"Don't...don't..." Rui Qiao's voice lowered slowly.

Mu Li opened his mouth, crying silently.
