Can't tell the truth from the fake

"Squeak-"

The old warehouse door was pushed open, and the mottled rust on the door was washed by the light rain, and condensed into strands, leaving a dull reddish brown on the door hinge.

There was silence in the warehouse, only the rustling of rainwater on the roof could be heard.

It's a rainy day.

The golden snake walked in, and the soles of his boots rubbed against the concrete floor to bring out a strange rhythm. He looked around the dim space, and finally his eyes stopped on the chair placed in the corner.

The man on the chair turned his head slightly to one side, his eyes were tightly closed, blood droplets that had already solidified stuck to his bruised cheeks, his nose fluttered slightly, and he breathed steadily.

The Golden Snake glanced at the ropes tightly bound around the man's arms, neck and shoulders, hooked the corner of his mouth, and poured the half bottle of mineral water in his hand on the man's head.

The man woke up suddenly, staring at the golden snake with bloodshot eyes, followed by a heart-piercing cough.

"Papa-papa--" Golden Snake leaned over and clapped his hands next to the man's ear with a flustered face, and said next to his ear, "Chinning, be more energetic. I invite you to come here, not to let you come here to rest."

Lu Xi leaned his head on the back of the chair wearily, and it took a long time to stop the discomfort in his throat. He took a long breath and said mockingly: "I am not as healthy as before. I don't sleep for two days and one night. I can't stand it."

Jin Snake raised his eyebrows, and punched Lu Xi in the stomach tentatively. Lu Xi let out a muffled grunt, and his face became even paler.

Jin Snake looked at Lu Xi's reaction with a slight contempt on his face.He untied the chains on Lu Xi's body indifferently, took out a pair of handcuffs from his pocket, and fastened them on Lu Xi's wrists roughly and quickly, then curled up in pain on the chair. Lu Xi pulled up and pushed towards the door.

"Let's go, stop pretending, it doesn't hurt that much." Jin Snake pinched Lu Xi's thin shoulder with one hand, and said in a dangerous and harsh voice, "Gu Wen is coming soon."

Lu Xi didn't speak, he lowered his eyes, water dripped down his jaw.His unhealed stomach was churning like fire, but he still tried his best to stand up straight, and behind the back of his right hand, he made a gesture towards the empty warehouse where the golden snake could not see.

The light rain stopped at some point, and the sky was still gloomy with dark clouds.

The Golden Snake brought Lu Xi to the nearby construction site, and walked to the top of the building along the external stairs of the closed high-rise building.

There were traces of rain on the roof, beside the concrete eaves, there were men in black ambushing behind the bunker in every corner, with sniper guns aimed at all directions downstairs.

"Are you ready?" Golden Snake asked in a deep voice, "Have you brought enough guns and ammunition?"

"It's all ready." The uniform low voice echoed.

The golden snake raised its brows in satisfaction, with an expression of determination on its face, and because of the viciousness in its eyes, it looked extraordinarily ferocious.

"This time, we must let Gu Wen go and never return, blood debt!"

Lu Xi's stomach finally felt a lot better, and a little blood returned to his face.Listening to the oath made by the golden snake, he snorted softly and asked, "What about me?"

Jin Snake lowered his head and glanced at Lu Xi, not paying attention: "Haven't we already reached an agreement?"

"But what if you kill me?"

Jin Snake sneered, and yanked Lu Xi's hair to the edge: "That's bad luck for you."

Lu Xi groaned in pain while walking, the cold wind on the rooftop blew the hair on his forehead, revealing a pair of gray eyes without the slightest warmth.

The right hand bound behind the back turned to the northwest corner where there was only one person left, and made the same gesture very secretly.

***

Gu Wen hastily parked the car at a tall building not far away, before the car was turned off, he quickly slammed the car door and ran towards the place requested by the golden snake along the shadows downstairs.

His legs were unstoppably weak, but it didn't affect his running speed in the slightest. He touched the hard barrel of the gun through his jacket to try to calm himself down.

"boom--"

Just when he was about to reach his destination, suddenly there was a gunshot and a burst of noise from that direction.

The back of Lu Xi who was shot again appeared in Gu Wen's mind, his body shook violently, and he almost knelt on the ground in fear.Then he suddenly accelerated his speed, crossed the corner, and what he saw was the cordon of the building downstairs and the flashing police lights.

However, Gu Wen was even more panicked.

—He didn't call the police.

Jin Snake and the others may have been controlled by the police, so... what about Lu Xi?

Will Jin Snake become angry and tear up the ticket when he sees the police car?

Could Lu Xi have been killed by the golden snake?

Gu Wen looked ahead with fear on his face, and his steps were staggering. He knew that there was a policeman coming towards him, and his lips opened and closed as if they were saying something to him, but he couldn't hear anything.

Because at that moment he clearly saw a figure falling from the roof.

thump—

At this moment, there was dead silence in Gu Wen's ears, only a dull loud noise remained.

He couldn't even tell if it was the sound of flesh hitting the ground, or the throbbing heartbeat in his chest.

He was distressed and tried to open his mouth to ask something, but he couldn't make any sound.

He wanted to push aside the police officers surrounding the cordon to see that person...

Is that person...

"Gu Wen!!!"

Qingshi didn't know when she appeared in front of Gu Wen. She shook Gu Wen's arms desperately and shouted hoarsely: "Gu Wen! Wake up! That's not him, that person is not Lu Xi!!"

Perhaps it was the familiar name that brought Gu Wen back to his senses. When he turned his eyes slowly to look at Qing, there was a bloody taste in his mouth.

He just belatedly wiped the corner of his mouth with his fingers, and the blood streaked onto his fingertips. It turned out that his lips were already full of scars from being bitten.

"Then... no, not Lu Xi?" Gu Wen's voice was extremely hoarse, as if sandpaper was constantly rubbing against the wall.

"The police said that the body that fell from the building was a golden snake." Qing Shi stared into Gu Wen's eyes and said every word.

"That's...the golden snake..." Gu Wen repeated subconsciously, wiped his face, and asked anxiously, "What about Lu Xi?"

"Lu Xi is still on the roof."

Gu Wen finally let out a slow breath, he closed his eyes, and carried forward without strength, and was supported by Ji Chong who came in time.

However, when everyone downstairs was relaxing, there was a sudden violent noise from the roof, which shook the ground along with it.

Gu Wen looked up blankly——

At that moment, what was reflected in his eyes was the sky full of flames.

The author has something to say: Lu Xi: "As the protagonist, I will never die."

A certain scumbag author hiding behind the screen: "Our slogan is dog blood! dog blood! dog blood!"
