Chapter 201 Why not Duan Zijin looked up blankly, "Going up the mountain?"

"You can't do anything if you stay here, go up the mountain and wait for the aurora, huh?" The man's warm palm lightly covered her forehead, the voice was still nice, but it seemed a little far away in her aching ears from the cold.

Now she looks like a terminally ill person, as if she could die in his arms at any time.If there is no way to cheer her up...

Jiang Lin's heart sank, and his sharp black eyes swept across the huge stadium.This is the only indoor venue that is still open in the entire town of Piramiden, because the houses that used to house residents on the island are locked, so he can only take her here temporarily to keep warm.However, the stadium is too empty, and the heating has been stopped because no one lives there all year round. The temperature here is not much different from the outside.

If this continues, it's hard to say whether she can survive until the next morning.

After all, this is a high-latitude area within the Arctic Circle. When there is sunshine in summer, the temperature is three or four degrees below zero, let alone after the sun sets at night...

Who the hell can count him on this?

Hearing the man talk about going to see the aurora, Duan Zijin really had a thought, and forced himself to drown the drowsiness in his mind, stood up straight, stomped on his frozen legs, and replied in a hoarse voice: "Okay, let's go up the mountain."

She looked at her watch, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky was still bright.

It's the last day...

To be honest, Duan Zijin didn't have much hope for seeing the aurora.

When she looked up and saw his distressed and anxious eyebrows, she understood his sincerity.

He actually wanted to give her some courage and hope to persevere.

Then how could she be willing to let him down?

Ever since she got frostbite all over in Yucheng's river, she has been particularly sensitive and afraid of places with low temperatures.

She is afraid of the cold, and she is afraid of the feeling of being alone and struggling without any warmth and response.

Duan Zijin felt that her whole head was groggy. Last night, she took the initiative for a rare time and almost released a beast.He wanted her so fiercely that he didn't sleep much all night.

Now not only tired, but also empty in my stomach...

Jiang Lin supported her waist with his hands, his expression was the same as usual, and there was an irresistible force in his silence, "The other side of this mountain is a strait, and cruise ships pass by occasionally."

"Straits?" Duan Zijin asked in a daze, "How do you know?"

Jiang Lindao: "I have been to this archipelago by helicopter before."

"How long ago did you come here?" Duan Zijin couldn't help asking, but he still remembered.

Jiang Lin glanced at her, and said calmly: "Not long, what happened yesterday."

yesterday?Duan Zijin's eyes widened slightly, as if someone had suddenly opened up a certain line of thought in his heart, "You came yesterday..."

The man paused, and said in a deep voice, "How dare I bring you here if everything is not arranged properly?"

After finishing speaking, his voice dropped another three points, "Unexpectedly, I was still careless."

Duan Zijin could no longer express how she felt at the moment, as if something was stuck in her throat.

She thought that he was busy with work these days, and had long forgotten to show her the aurora... But she never thought that this man would always be like this, preparing everything silently and never saying anything.

She remained silent and approached him silently. The man held her in his arms and asked in a low voice, "Are you tired?"

Different from his cold and sharp eyes when he looked around, only Duan Zijin knew that every time a man stared at her, the eyes that seemed to be calm but with some kind of deep affection really hurt her heart of.

Afraid that he would see the clue, Duan Zijin hurriedly sorted out the intricacies in his heart, and asked, "Is this far from the strait behind?"

The man made some estimates and shook his head, "Hurry up, walk for another half an hour, and you should be able to reach the cliff."

*

At the same time, at the entrance to the town of Pyramiden, the gunfire barely stopped.

The elegantly dressed woman came down from the cabin and looked at the dozens of corpses on the ground. Instead of showing the slightest bit of fear, she smiled at the housekeeper beside her and the black-clothed gunmen in front of her, "Thank you for your hard work." , the man hired by Steward Peter really has amazing marksmanship."

The housekeeper saluted respectfully, "Miss, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to put these corpses here, do you want to hand them over to me?"

Nancy smiled and took off the white gloves on her hands, "You should be more thoughtful, you can figure it out."

The gunman lit a cigarette, stepped on a corpse under his feet, and spoke in a very rough voice, "Miss Countess, since they are hired by others, they want to kill that couple, why don't you just sit back and enjoy the rewards?" Do you want us to kill these people?"

The butler's eyes turned cold, "Presumptuous, who allows you to speak to Countess Leopold like this?"

Nancy raised her hand, stuffed the white gloves into the butler's arms, blocked him invisible, and smiled at the gunman leader very gently: "Because I'm not here to kill Lenn, I'm here to save him."

The butler took the gloves, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and took two steps back expressionlessly.

"Since William made a move on the cruise ship and sent such a bunch of trash to hunt down Lenn and that woman, then we should simply throw the blame on him. Once that woman dies, Lenn will never Let it go easily." Nancy smiled like a spring breeze, and said to the gunmen, "Tear off the family crests on these corpses, and take them with you in a short while, and hide them tightly, but make sure they 'accidentally' see them."

At that time, as long as Lenn returns alive, even William himself will think that the killer he hired killed the woman, and Lenn was lucky to be rescued by Leopold's family later, and escaped by chance.

The housekeeper sighed: "Miss, Master William is sincere to you, will we do this..."

"Can you get something back with all your sincerity? Stupid!" Nancy held back her smile, "His biggest mistake was trying to get Lenn under my nose. If I didn't chase after me today, if Lenn had something wrong, I wouldn't let it go Pass him to William's house!"

The gunman leader was startled by the cold expression on her face. When he was lost in thought, the smoke burned to the corner of his lips, and he spit it out hastily, "Then now..."

"From now on, you chase me down." Nancy smiled slightly, "You're welcome, come on. I'm carrying a gun, and it's your job to kill me. If I kill you... I can only blame you for not killing me." good."

The gunmen looked at each other, feeling cold and sweaty.

Although it is true to say so, who dares to shoot the countess?

But if she didn't shoot, it wouldn't be fun to be killed by her.

Nancy waved her hand, and Butler Peter immediately asked someone to bring a black leather suitcase. When the suitcase was opened, it was full of gold bars.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and before reaching out to touch it, Nancy closed the lid of the suitcase again, her lips curled up, "No matter what the result is, I guarantee that no one will hold you accountable afterwards. How about this business? Do you want to do it?"

The leader of the gunman stomped out the smoke on the ground and said impatiently: "Okay, we know what to do."

Only then did Nancy let go of her hand with a smile, and the gunmen each received the gold bars, boarded the ship again under the guidance of the servants, and prepared to hide them in their lockers.

For a while, only nancy and the housekeeper were left on the island.

Nancy also lit a lady's cigarette, and asked calmly, "Peter, when will our second wave arrive?"

"Miss Hui, our bodyguards are already on standby within [-] miles of the sea. At that time, according to your instructions, we will treat these gunmen as killers of William's family and shoot them to death in front of Master Lenn to save you and Master Lenn go home."

Nancy nodded, her blue eyes reflected the blood-colored sky, showing a bit of treachery and strangeness, she stared at the door of the cabin without blinking, which was the direction where the gunmen entered, "People die for money, birds die for money." Eat death... Oh, it's really sad."

——I guarantee that no one will hold you accountable afterwards.

Nancy looked at the fading daylight in the sky, and the night gradually covered everything.

Who will hold the dead accountable?

*

Jiang Lin's estimated time was a bit tight, or he was too high on Duan Zijin's physical strength at this time.The mountain is not high, but the undeveloped wild road is difficult to walk. The two stopped and stopped all the way. It was nearly ten o'clock at night before they bypassed the winding mountain path and walked to the other side of the mountainside.

The sun is not on the bottom of the sea, but the sky and the earth have not completely dimmed. The distant sky is dyed with strange light. Standing on the cliff and watching the sea water beating against the rocks under his feet, Duan Zijin has some ominous premonition in his heart.

The wind blowing by the sea was very strong, and it was like a cold knife on the face. The man raised his hand and lifted up Duan Zijin's scarf, "Don't stand on the edge of the cliff, it's dangerous."

"What's the danger?" Duan Zijin looked at him sideways and smiled, "Could it be that you still plan to push me down?"

The man said without changing his face: "With your body, the wind can blow you down, so I don't need to do it myself?"

Duan Zijin curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "The wind blows me down...won't you give me a hand?"

The man sneered, "You're so disobedient, you don't have to worry about falling."

"You don't feel bad when I fall?" Duan Zijin said, taking another step towards the edge of the cliff, "Then I'll show you when I fall."

The man's face suddenly changed, as if he had unveiled a mask, and even his tone became serious: "Duan Zijin! Don't mess around!"

She burst out laughing and jumped back to his side. Although her face was as pale as the frost and snow on the mountain, the deep smile in her brows and eyes was like a flower blooming in the frost and snow.

"Just kidding, Professor Jiang." Duan Zijin hugged the man's waist, "If you fall from such a high place, you will probably die. I can't bear to die..."

She buried her head on the man's chest, and the man's body was still stiff when she was frightened.

Seeing her suddenly get into his arms, he grabbed her without thinking, for fear that something might happen to her if she was mischievous again.

"I can't bear to die." Duan Zijin was strangled by him so that he couldn't breathe, but he still repeated in a low voice over and over again, "I can't bear to die, I can't bear to leave you, Jiang Lin..."

"Who told you to leave me?" The man's voice was sullen, "Duan Zijin, try leaving!"

He will bring her back to the ends of the earth.

Duan Zijin smiled softly, pulled him back to a slightly safer place on the shore, sat down against a boulder, looked up at the navy blue sky, and asked him with a smile: "If I really jumped to die, what would you do?"

The man was still angry, his haughty jaw was tense, and he ignored her question at all.

Duan Zijin tugged at his sleeve, "Why are you so easy to get angry? You said that you don't have to worry about me falling, why are you getting angry now?"

The man looked at her coldly, "I'll go back and marry Nancy after you die."

Duan Zijin's face froze.

The man grabbed her chin violently, his black eyes were terribly dark, "Do you still want to jump down?"

Duan Zijin hugged his arm silently, his heart ached like someone was poking him with a knife, once and for all, tirelessly.

She knew that he was just joking, but the speaker had no intention but the listener intended.

There is a word in this world called, a word becomes a prophecy.

Duan Zijin pursed her lower lip and gave the most natural smile, "You are so heartless, that's not what I said last time when your sister asked me if I would like to go with you." She stopped, slowly Slowly repeated what he said at the time, "My answer is that Jiang Lin wants to take me away, so there is no need to ask me if I am willing. Even if he wants to take me to jump off a cliff today... I will just follow him."

The man wrapped his slender body with his coat calmly, and the chill in his voice didn't get any better, "Then you remember what I said?"

Duan Zi pouted, "You said so many things, I can't remember everything, right?"

The man Gao Ting let out a cold snort, and it took a long time before he said in a deep voice: "You ask me, if natural disasters, man-made disasters, life, old age, sickness and death, you go before me, should I be buried for you? What did I say at that time, you forgot?"

Duan Zi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly choked up, "I remember."

He said - why not.

"Now it seems that I have to take back this sentence." The man said lightly.

Duan Zijin raised his head abruptly, "Why?"

"If you dare to leave." The man approached her ear viciously, and whispered, "I will find a stepmother for our son and daughter, and torture them every day until you come back."

Duan Zijin burst out laughing, but his nose was sore, he scolded him, but his soft voice sounded coquettish, "That's your son and daughter too, are you willing?"

Before the man could speak, a huge gunshot came from the mountain road behind him.

The bullet seemed to hit Duan Zijin's heart impartially, and it was deafening. Her head was numb from the shock, and her whole face was so white that there was no blood left.

come yet.

at last……

鏉ヤ 钖楋纻

She subconsciously hugged the man tightly.

No matter how firm and resolute she was when she agreed to Nancy, she was still deeply afraid when she came to this point.

I was so scared that my heart ached.

She didn't want to be separated from him, she didn't want to...

The man only thought that she was frightened by the gunshots, and hugged her tightly, "Don't be afraid, you stay behind the stone, I'll go out and have a look."

"Jiang Lin." Duan Zijin grabbed the corner of his clothes suddenly, tears streaming down her face, she shook her head, "Don't go, don't go."

That gaze made the man's chest tremble heavily, and complex dark lights suddenly appeared in his black eyes.Her gaze—it seemed that she was sure that he would completely separate from her when he went.

Duan Zijin didn't have time to wipe away his tears, so he just repeated over and over again: "Don't go, don't leave here..."

Don't leave me alone.

Just as the man was about to reply, a shadow flashed out of the corner of his eye, his expression turned ugly, he brushed away Duan Zijin's hand, and rushed out from behind the boulder.

Duan Zijin flinched, her hands propped on the icy ground, the thick snow made her fingers feel cold and painful.She raised her eyes and saw a man rushing back with a woman in his arms.

"What are you doing here!" the man asked sharply.

What he spoke was neither Chinese nor English, but a language that Duan Zijin could not understand.

Although she didn't understand what he meant, she could also hear the undisguised irritation in his harsh tone.

Slowly raising his head, it was the face that was so familiar that he hated it.

nancy.

She was wearing thick clothes, but the down jacket on her left shoulder was completely soaked in blood, and there was also an unusually obvious scar on the calf of her left leg.The originally bright and ruddy face does not look much healthier than Duan Zijin's.

She still held a pistol in her right hand, and Bai Xi's slender fingers kept shaking.

The turning point came too fast, Duan Zijin couldn't understand for a while, why did she get hurt?Who hurt her?What about the gunshots?

Nancy frowned, and explained a few words to the man, the man's eyes immediately became indifferent and frightening.

"Jiang Lin..." Duan Zijin called him.

The man paused, "It's William."

William?Duan Zijin was shocked, did William do these things?

Nancy put down the gun suddenly, held her hand, and comforted her in a weak but tender tone: "Zijin, don't be afraid, I sensed that William was going to harm you, so I brought people over immediately. All the people in the family were killed by the killers of William's family, but my housekeeper escaped, he will definitely arrange rescue, as long as we last until..."

boom--

There was a thud as the edge of the stone hit the frozen ground.

The ice cracked into spider webs in an instant.

Jiang Lin asked in a deep voice, "How long has your housekeeper been away?"

Nancy glanced at her watch, "It's 11:[-], he has been gone for an hour, at most half an hour, someone will definitely come to rescue us."

The man made a decisive decision and asked, "Can I still go?"

Nancy looked at her injured leg with a wry smile.

The man didn't speak any more, he hugged her directly, and said to Duan Zijin: "Yuyou, follow up and go up the mountain."

Duan Zijin watched the man walk forward with Nancy in his arms, and the gunshots kept ringing behind her. She didn't dare to stay, but Nancy's words suddenly sounded in her heart—it's 11:[-], and there's still half an hour left.

half an hour...

Not only the moment when the steward brings rescue, but also her last day, which will end at that moment.

Coincidence?

Thinking of this, she looked at the back of the man complicatedly.

I saw the woman in the arms of the man turned her head sideways, showing an indescribable smile to her.

She seemed to be pinched by a pair of invisible hands by the throat.

This mountain is not high at all, and there are glaciers all the way up, and you can only reach two-thirds of the cliff at most. The unrepaired paths on the mountain are very difficult to walk. Can't keep up.Occasionally, one or two chased after him, but Jiang Lin snatched Nancy's gun and killed her with one shot in the dark night.

The cliff was covered with ice and snow, and there were jagged rocks. Jiang Lin placed the injured Nancy behind a towering rock, and asked Duan Zi to stand by. He himself jumped to a high ground far away from them to distract the target.

The profile of the man's profile is resolute and sharp. Standing on the top of the boulder, he looks like a deity coming under the cold moonlight, like the moon-blocking Buddha, Asura, who holds the light of the sun and the moon in the Buddhist scriptures and does not believe in righteousness.

What kind of night is this, the moonlight is stained with blood.

Duan Zijin's tears were about to fall.

A man is like a moving target, but no bullet can hit him.

The wind was blowing, blowing his clothes. Whenever a bullet hit the air, he could always return to the direction of the bullet as fast as possible and hit the target. Killing Wuqing was something Duan Zijin had never seen before.But when the gunshot sounded once, she still couldn't help but tighten her heart, and then she was worried again.

"Don't worry about him." Seeing Duan Zijin looking over there nervously, Nancy leaned against the stone with a smile, coughed twice, and said angrily, "With Lenn's ability, he can't die."

Besides, no gunman dared to shoot him directly.

It was the only death order Countess Leopold had given, and she even allowed them to shoot herself.

Her words moved Duan Zijin's mind, and he suddenly stared at Nancy's bloodless face.

Seeing the smile on her face, Duan Zijin's tone changed, "You sent these people?"

Nancy's smile deepened. She supported the rock and stood up. The huge waves under her feet were pushed up by the wind and smashed to the cliff.

Her avoidance of answering gave Duan Zijin the answer.

Duan Zijin's tears were hanging in her eyes. Out of the corner of her eye, the man seemed to be brushed by a bullet on her arm. She exclaimed and wanted to rush over, but was stopped by the man: "Hide yourself, don't come out!"

Duan Zijin clenched his hands, looked at the blood on his light-colored pants, gritted his teeth and turned his head, "Nancy, didn't you want my life? Didn't you want my life! You let him go!"

"But I promised you." Nancy leaned back against the stone, smiling calmly and gently, "I promised you, I will give you half a month." She said, looking at her watch, "There are still 6 minutes to go." In half a month, I will keep my word, and I won't be like Miss Duan... you can break your promise casually."

"So you tortured me in this way?" Duan Zijin pointed to the man kneeling on the boulder not far away, and asked in a low voice.

Nancy put away her smile and looked at her expressionlessly. After a long while, Mo Mo said, "Duan You, don't push yourself too hard."

Duan Zijin was so angry that her heart was trembling, she raised her hand, and slapped Nancy hard on the face, "You are simply a disgrace and scum among the nobles!"

Her slap did not fall.

was stopped by a man.

Duan Zijin looked at the man blocking her wrist in disbelief, "Jiang Lin?"

The man's eyes were sharp, and his tone was terribly cold, "What are you going to do?"

Duan Zijin stared at Nancy, with thorns all over her body, her lips were trembling, and countless words were stuck in her throat, but she couldn't say a word, she just said: "You let go, I'm going to beat her today !"

The man's eyes were full of gloom, and those eyes seemed to be able to kill her, "Yuyou, what time is it, you are still making trouble for no reason!"

"I'm making trouble for no reason?" Duan Zijin's heart felt as if a blood hole had been poked out by him, she grabbed the bullet wound on his arm, "If she hadn't brought these people here..."

"Duan Zijin!" The man interrupted in a cold voice, "Shut up! Without her, these people would come here too, stop messing around, we'll talk about it down the mountain if we have something to do."

Duan Zijin stared blankly at his right hand that was captured by the man for a long time, then suddenly lowered his head and laughed softly.

Jiang Lin.If one day you know what I did for you, what she did to you...

Jiang Lin...

The laughter gradually became louder and louder, she laughed until tears fell out, and the moonlight lit up her brown pupils brightly.

When Jiang Lin was taken aback, Duan Zijin raised his left hand and slapped Nancy's face fiercely.

Nancy was injured and couldn't move, and she was slapped in the face.

The man's face was livid, with faint veins appearing between his brows, "Duan Zijin!"

"Shut up!" Duan Zijin's heart shattered, tears kept pouring out, but his tone was cold and decisive, "This is what she owes me, this is what she owes me!"

The man's black eyes were full of cold light, as if frozen.Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth, "You are still acting out of temper at this moment, I really fell in love with you wrong!"

Duan Zijin was shocked, "What did you say..."

Wrong love, he said he loved her wrong.

"Jiang Lin, are you serious?"

"Apologize to her." Jiang Lin held back his anger.

"What if I don't?" Duan Zijin smiled with tears all over his face, "Are you going to break up with me? Do you want to be with her? Is she better than me?"

The blue blood vessels on the man's well-defined forearm burst suddenly, "I didn't think about breaking up, but at least she won't be as ignorant as you are!"

ignore the general interest.

"Good! Jiang Lin, you are so kind!"

Nancy reached out and rubbed her stiff face, covering the corner of her mouth with a slight smile, looked down at her watch, and said softly, "There are still 10 seconds."

In the sky, the sound of helicopters hummed.

Duan Zijin stared closely at Jiang Lin's extremely expressionless handsome face, as if he wanted to engrave all of his face in his heart.

Every cut is a bloody scar.

Until she saw a red spot of light appear on his heart.

Duan Zijin was startled, and suddenly turned his head to look. Not far away, someone aimed a gun at the man's chest.

As if struck by lightning, her mind went blank.

Nancy approached Duan Zijin with a smile, and said in a low voice: "It's time, and... Actually, I lied to you, that child, isn't it..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the sound of bullets piercing through the air over there made Duan Zi pale.

Without thinking about it, she pushed Jiang Lin away.

The man also heard the gunshot, and when he saw the woman rushing towards him, his indifferent expression suddenly turned into panic.

Yes, horror.

He was pushed away by her, and the sound of the bullet piercing through her shoulder blades made Jiang Lin feel terrified.

Immediately afterwards, the speed of the bullet and the reaction force she received when she pushed him away caused the woman to fall into the deep sea on the edge of the cliff.

At that very moment, it was as if someone waved a ribbon in the sky, and green halos spread out layer by layer.

In Duan Zijin's last glance before falling into the sea, she saw the gorgeous and beautiful aurora over the Arctic Ocean, and... the frightened eyebrows of the man on the cliff.

Then, her world was filled with icy sea water.

"Yuyou!" The heart-piercing roar echoed throughout the sea.

"Lenn!" Sensing what the man was about to do, Nancy quickly reached out to grab him.

But she didn't even grab the hem of his clothes.

The next moment, on the edge of the cliff, only Nancy fell to her knees on the reef, crying bitterly: "Lenn!"

If you don't go first, how will you know that I will follow you, and go away in the world of mortals and white snow.

—Are you going to die for me?

——Why not.
