The cheers and people's excited conversations made Xia De's ears hurt when he was in this scene but couldn't participate.
Shade's face was serious, his eyes were fixed on the front, and he found an opportunity to squeeze the crowd behind and back away, preparing to make room for a few steps of trotting and then speeding up to jump, sprinting across the street before the convoy arrived.
The middle-aged man, who was farther away from the convoy and about ten people away from Xia De, slowly took his right hand out of the inner pocket of his coat amidst the confusion and joy at this moment.
His eyes were fixed on Queen Diana in the approaching convoy, and he stared closely, without looking to the side at all.
Miss Bayas and the team members at the gate of the station surrounded the thirteen-ring warlocks who came from afar. Her eyesight was very good, and she suddenly saw the taller Xia De in the crowd in the distance, with a smile on his face, and was considering whether to say hello.
The blue-eyed Dr. Schneider, who came to see the fun with his friends from the psychological clinic, also saw Xia De, smiled and shook his head and sighed. Unexpectedly, detectives also like to join in the fun, so he opened his mouth to say hello.
Miss Galina, who was sitting next to Queen Diana in the carriage, saw Shad on the side of the road, and the red-haired duchess didn't want to say hello to him.
Captain Ladds on the other side of the street was so tense, he was too busy jumping at the fat woman to notice Shad.
Mr. An Luosi, the director of MI6 in the crowd, noticed Xia De at close range, but because the two parties had only met once, he hesitated before confirming that it was him. He didn't know what the young detective was trying to do with his strange posture at the moment.
Taking advantage of the police officer in front of him looking to the left at the approaching convoy, Xia De trotted forward two steps.
The middle-aged man looked at Queen Diana's face in the car window, and slowly withdrew his right hand from the inner pocket.
The crowd cheered even more enthusiastically, and the band waiting at the gate of the station played music, making the scene even more lively and chaotic.
Xia De frowned and pushed away the policeman in front of him, and rushed forward with both legs to cross the human wall.
The middle-aged man, who was separated from dozens of people, yanked out the contents of his pocket with his right hand.
Shad jumps around the cop.
The middle-aged man drew a pistol from under his coat.
Xia De lifted his feet off the ground and came into the air, rushing forward very fast.
The shooter could not hesitate, raised his hand forward and pulled the trigger.
The moment after he moved his fingers, he suddenly saw a person between the muzzle of the gun and the car window.
"Um?"
"Um?"
Boom!
"ah!"
Huge sound waves seemed to be exploding in the ears, and Xia De, who jumped into the air, was unprepared, and under the huge momentum, he slid in the air towards the direction of the carriage. He was hit accurately amidst the gunfire, and then fell to the ground and rolled twice while clutching his chest, his head up and motionless.
Shouts, echoes of gunshots, yelling, cursing, neighing of horses... These became weaker and weaker in the ears of Xia De who was lying on the ground.
He lay on the ground, looking over the flickering clothes around him, at the mist above, at the glare of the sun piercing through the mist. The sun shone on his face, on his bloodless face.
Time seemed to stop at this moment. He didn't know what happened just now, he only knew that he was shot precisely in the left chest.
"This is bad luck..."
The sound of footsteps spreading chaotically in his ears, shoes trampling the ground, skirts brushing his legs, and more incomprehensible sounds mixed together, but these were not important anymore. Beneath him was the cold earth, and above him a gloomy, oppressive sky.
"Shad!"
"detective!"
"Detective Hamilton!"
"you......"
The crowd was moving away from him. In a trance, he saw Miss Galina in the carriage through the gaps in the crowd, saw Captain Ladds throwing the fat woman down, saw Miss Bayas coming over to check what happened, and saw Dr. Schneider stood on tiptoe behind the crowd with a panicked expression, and saw Mr. An Luosi frantically trying to catch the man who shot.
But the distance between the two men was too great for Mr. Anros to jump over the crowd at once.
The middle-aged man who shot looked at the young man lying on the ground, smiled wryly as if mocking himself, and aimed the pistol at his head.
Boom~
Xia De looked away, lying there looking at the gray and misty sky, and the scenes after coming to this world flashed before his eyes. His expression became calm...
Then he heard laughter in his ear, it was definitely the sound of ridicule.
"No, what I threw out was just a 9, how could I be beaten to death in the street and exposed to the dead on the street?"
Under the surprised eyes of Miss Galina, Captain Lades, Miss Bayas, Dr. Schneider, Mr. Anlos, the onlookers, the police maintaining order, the royal guards, and Queen Diana who was under emergency protection, Shade He leaned on the ground neatly and sat up.
He patted the dirt on his clothes and looked at his body:
"Why doesn't your chest hurt anymore?"
Mumbling to himself, he touched his left chest under the gaze of everyone nearby. The special pistol and bullets were really powerful. He touched the chest pocket of his shirt, froze for a moment, and took it out.
Round, delicate, small, cold, the silver material reflects the sunlight penetrating through the cloudy clouds and thick fog at this moment.
The bullet is inlaid in the center of the "Holy Prayer Commemorative Coin of the Church of the Dawn 1053" with great precision. The silver coin is dented, but the notched ring on the holy emblem tightly holds the bullet.
"Oh~"
He scratched his head, inexplicably wanted to laugh, stood up and looked at everyone around him.
There are still shouts in the distance, there are still noisy voices, and the sound of police whistles echoes in the sky. The police are blocking the nearby streets, and plainclothes police on standby and more royal guards are pouring in.
But at least the people around the royal carriage, the royal guards, the police at Ridwich Field, the citizens of Tobesk, and the friends Shad knew, all looked at the silver coins in Shad's hand.
The sun shone on Xia De from above. He was holding the silver coin, and the suicide body fell in front of him. At this moment, he actually felt that this matter was full of sense of humor.
Looking up to the sky, and then to the people around:
"Bad luck led to being shot in the street, but because I didn't ask for much, so the bad luck is not too bad, I just didn't die...Fate is fair~www.mtlnovel.com~Manipulators don't have a good death... ...Ha~ I understand too~"
She chuckled in his ear.
Looking down at the silver coin in his hand:
"I no longer dare to manipulate fate."
he thought.
"I want to donate more money to the Church of the Dawn."
He said in his mouth, winking quietly to Miss Bayas and Dr. Schneider to indicate that he was fine, and then fell to the ground covering his chest in pain amidst the exclamations of the people, moaning in his mouth:
"Oh, I've got internal injuries, the impact of the bullet was too..."
Xia De fell into a coma next to the suicide corpse, and when his head hit the soft corpse, he was not injured.
Of course, coma is fake.
The muzzle smoke rises into the sky, away from the noisy and chaotic streets. Although Tobesk is still shrouded in gray mist today, it is extraordinarily lively.
