The people who hired me are dead

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Gordon watched the situation on the surveillance screen, not paying attention to little Liv who was playing alone.

"Liv wants to find her uncle." Tired of playing pony games, little Liv held the doll and tugged at Lilian's clothes and raised her head.

"Liv is good, uncle is busy." Lily said absent-mindedly.

Little Liv walked around, leaned on the edge of the console on tiptoes, and looked up at the screen.

She pointed at Deyun Xinzhuo in the screen and shouted happily, "It's Uncle Yun!"

Gordon raised his eyebrows, and hugged little Liv so that she could fully see all the surveillance images.Little Lifu sucked her fingers and tilted her head, then suddenly asked, "Why is that sister bleeding? Is she injured?"

Hu Qi looked at Meryl who was safe and sound in the picture, frowned and pressed the walkie-talkie and said, "Al, the first target is Meryl, you are now moving towards the bookshelf behind you on the right."

Al held down the headset and looked back in the direction Hooch was pointing.

This is a small reading room inside the police station. There are six large bookshelves in two rows, on which are placed theoretical books and some file folders for reference.

In front is a set of benches and wooden tables, and the police are around there. The original location was just right, but one was vacated after the black policewoman went out.

Above the table is a decorative chandelier, Elvis and Meryl are sitting on chairs not far away, and there is a round table in front of the chairs.

Red stood at the other end of the room, listening to Hooch on his earphones.

Of all people, Al and the Sheriff are the furthest from Meryl.After estimating the distance, she quickly walked towards Meryl.The sheriff didn't follow. He stayed where he was, standing by the fire extinguisher.

The temperature in the room was getting hotter and hotter, Yun Xinzhuo endured it for a while and directly turned off the air conditioner.Rhett turned to him and said, "What do you think the chances are that the chandelier will fall?"

"It won't be too big. After all, it's the most intuitive crisis. I'm more inclined that the god of death will use a series of accidents." Yun Xinzhuo watched Meryl's movements, folded his arms and said, "The chandelier is too ordinary."

"Did you forget about the fan?" Reid pursed his lips and said, "The most ingenious is not necessarily the most effective, and the rough and simple ones can often achieve different effects."

"We have taken precautions," Yun Xinzhuo said.

"Unless we are willing to take it off." Reid looked back at Yun Xinzhuo beside him and said, "Sometimes, even if we know that something will happen, we still can't completely eliminate its influence. Because manpower is limited , Yun. You and I both understand this, and so does Death.”

Meryl grabbed her ponytail with one hand, walked over quickly and bent down to pick up the hair tie on the ground.A book on the top shelf fell down with a soft thud.He shook a medium-sized copper globe display next to him, and the originally fixed copper ball shook from side to side a few times, the hook on the top of the ball was released silently, and the ball tilted slightly invisible.

Meryl looked up while she was tying her hair. She tied her hair and reached out on tiptoe to help the book up.The arm touched the globe, and the copper ball was spinning rapidly. Meryl watched North America slide by on the globe, and it began to become blurred because of the too fast rotation.

Elvis called her, and Meryl turned to leave.Following her movements, the white coat swept over several books on the lower shelf, hooked the corner of a book, and brought the book down.

Meryl looked down and squatted down to help the book up.There were two soft sounds from the lower part of the rotating sphere, and the sphere tilted again.It gradually stopped turning, fell from the circle that fixed it, rolled to the edge of the compartment, and then smashed towards Meryl below.

The remaining three policemen were still discussing the recent serial murders on the couch nearby. Reid and Yun Xinzhuo stood near Elvis, pointing their heads up at the chandelier and talking together.Elvis noticed, but he didn't have enough power to help.

Meryl didn't notice the abnormality above, she was still squatting there with her head down and laying her books, Al, who arrived in time according to Hu Qi's arrangement, witnessed everything.Al quickly caught the copper ball that was about to smash Meryl's head, and Elvis, who was standing diagonally opposite, let out a long sigh of relief.

"Why..." Meryl stood up and looked blankly at the things in Al's hand, then looked back at the bookshelf.There was only one empty shelf left.

"Thank you." Meryl said gratefully to Al with a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, but fortunately it's not big." Al held the copper ball in both hands and turned around, finding the approximate location of the United States on it.She shrugged and tapped the brass ball casually.

"Then am I safe?" Meryl asked hesitantly, "You have helped me escape the attack."

Al found that Meryl had always been the calmest of the three children. From beginning to end, she never cried in despair like Beckinsale, nor was she hysterical like Elvis.

She was relatively calm, because Meryl was less susceptible to the emotions of those around her than the other two.Al had noticed it as early as Gordon's first psychological evaluation of her.

Al found a cardboard box on the bookshelf and temporarily put the copper ball in it.Put it on the bottom shelf of the bookshelf to avoid any accidents.

After thinking about it, she moved all the furnishings from the upper shelf to the lower shelf. Meryl didn't dare to help, fearing that something would happen again.

"Why do you need to increase the indoor temperature?" In the monitoring room, Morgan looked at the screen and said doubtfully, "Just to make the ice cream melt? The sticky area on the ground is only so large that it can do nothing."

Hu Qi shook his head, Lilian suddenly said, "She's drawing."

Everyone in the monitoring room immediately turned their heads to look at Little Liv in Lilian's arms. Little Liv carefully drew a stick figure on the album with a crayon, and then filled it with a red crayon.

"What does this mean, Liv, can you tell mom about it?" Lilian tried to ask.

"It's too heavy to get up." Little Liv tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "It must be very painful."

Gordon listened to Little Liv's words, and looked at the situation on the surveillance screen. His eyes swept over the policemen, and then landed on the bookshelf.

After a long while, he murmured, "Aside from letting Meryl tie her hair, it's probably...to send people away."

"What's the purpose of taking away a woman with relatively weak physical strength." Hu Qi looked at the vacant seat, then at the chandelier, and said hesitantly, "Because... the seat?"

In the room, Yun Xinzhuo looked away after making sure that Meryl was not injured. He looked at the chandelier above and saw nothing unusual.

Just when he was about to change his target, he seemed to see a black shadow appear on the table for a moment.

"Red, have you seen it?" Yun Xinzhuo frowned and said softly.

"See what?" Rhett asked.

"A dark shadow." Yun Xinzhuo said vigilantly, "It was dark here just now." He pointed at the place where the female policeman was sitting before, his body was slightly arched, his muscles tensed and he was in a fighting state.

The two waited intently for a while, but nothing happened.

A book on the bookshelf behind Elvis fell down with a snap. Elvis had seen Meryl almost hit on the head by a copper ball before.

He ignored the book, and another fell.

Elvis was frightened by what happened just now, he is extremely sensitive now.He flipped through the novel in his hand from beginning to end, and flipped it upside down with his fingers unconsciously.

He thought for a while and seemed to think that it was not safe to be too close to the bookshelf.He picked up his novel and walked to the couch.His feet were sticky on the ground, he propped his feet up on the table to look at the soles of his shoes, and rubbed them casually on another ground.

Yun Xinzhuo frowned and watched Elvis's movements, and found that he was standing where the black policewoman was originally.Gordon's voice came from Yun Xinzhuo's earphones, "Be careful with the chandelier,"

Before he finished speaking, the worst plan they had predicted, and what Yun Xinzhuo was most worried about, finally happened.

The chandelier made a soft sound, and then fell down without warning before everyone had time to react.

Yun Xinzhuo flew over like lightning, pushed Aivis down and hugged him and rolled him under the table.

At the same time, with a loud bang, the glass chandelier smashed onto the table.The shattered glass scattered in all directions, breaking through the air and flying straight towards Meryl's eyes.

Yun Xinzhuo held down Ives and let him stick to the ground.A deafening sound came from above his head, Elvis' eyes widened in horror, his body trembled uncontrollably, and a whimper sounded from his mouth.

Shards of glass fell to the ground with a real crisp sound.

The tiny sound sounded like a roar to Elvis' ears, and the shouts of the policemen and Meryl's short cry made his nerves extremely tense.He grabbed Yun Xinzhuo's arm like a life-saving straw.

Meryl was dragged behind the bookshelf by Al, and Meryl's body slammed into the bookshelf in a panic.She screamed in pain, her steps unconsciously paused.Al didn't pause, and pushed her over, blocking the glass with his back.

Al snorted, and held Meryl down to make her squat on the ground. At the same time, she stood in front of Meryl to help her block possible attacks.

Meryl is the target of Reaper, but Al is not.The glass hitting her body may not necessarily kill her, but it will definitely kill Meryl.

Blood flowed from Al's white shirt, she gritted her teeth and pulled out a shard of glass from her shoulder, throwing it away.

"You were injured..." Meryl took off her white coat and pressed Al's wound, tremblingly said, "I'm sorry...it's all because of me."

Al didn't say anything to comfort her, she got up staggeringly, grabbed Meryl and was about to leave.Their movement was so loud and hurried that she was pretty sure Meryl had bumped into a bookshelf.

Before Al could stand still, a book fell on Al's head.Al's body swayed, and her eyes turned black.

"Al?"

"Al... Al, are you okay..."

"My God... your head is bleeding!"

Meryl's figure began to become blurred, and she couldn't hear Meryl's voice clearly.The sheriff's anxious cry seemed to be very near, but also seemed far away.

Al only had time to vaguely tell Meryl to run, then he closed his eyes and fell limp, and then the bookshelf slammed down on them.

Yun Xinzhuo protected Elvis, dragging and dragging to help him block two pieces of broken glass, his voice gradually subsided.Just when Elvis thought that this bad luck was over, a series of noises came from afar.

He turned his head to look out from under the table and saw a bookshelf falling over.

The sheriff pushed the large slanted bookshelf, and the books on the shelf kept falling.Al lay unconscious on the ground, blood drops slipped from her forehead, and fell to the ground little by little.

Meryl stared blankly at the motionless Al, and after she realized it, she immediately grabbed her arm and struggled to save her from below.

Meryl's leg was wounded by the glass on the ground, and her body was shaking with pain.

The pain made her unable to use her strength, and also stimulated her tense nerves.She looked at the unconscious Al, the blood stinging her eyes and tormenting her sanity.

She knew that Al became like this to protect her, and she knew that she should drag Al out no matter what.

Meryl bit her lower lip, holding back her fear and dragging Al away.

But when a book hit her hand, forcing her to let go of Al's hand.Meryl stopped grabbing Al's arm, and tears rolled down her pale cheeks.With a broken wail, she turned around and dragged her injured leg and crawled out in embarrassment.

As she crawled out to safety, she turned to see Al buried in scattered papers.The book slammed into her wound, splashing blood and staining the scattered pages around her.The warmth soaked the writing on the paper, and seemed to drip into Meryl's heart, scalding her soul.

She slumped on the ground, watching the policemen run over to support, watching Al slowly open his eyes, propping himself up and trying to get up.

A hardcover book on the lower floor slipped down and hit the sheriff hard on the foot.An angry growl came from the sheriff's throat, and the police who rushed over helped push the bookshelf, trying to stand it up.

Reid quickly removed the book from Al's body, supported Al's weak body, and sent her out.

Yun Xinzhuo checked Al's injury and determined that she only suffered from skin trauma, and the most serious wound was a bruise on her forehead.

Al clutched his dizzy head and leaned against Yun Xinzhuo's arms to let him treat the wound urgently.

Things calmed down as the police pushed back the bookshelves.Meryl looked at Al guiltily, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"I'm fine." Al said weakly, after a pause, she added, "Don't be afraid, you're safe for now."

Meryl shook her head, still holding the wet white coat in her hand.

Al didn't see Meryl when he woke up, and now he probably guessed why Meryl was crying.

She thought for a while and raised her arms with difficulty, wiped the tears from the corners of Meryl's eyes and said, "You can't help if you stay there, you didn't leave me alone. I vaguely remember you pulling me, trying to drag me away .You did your best, and I don't blame you."

"I'm sorry..." Meryl's bloodless lips parted and closed, and finally she lowered her eyelids and said, "It's great that you're fine."

Al didn't have the strength to speak anymore, and the medical staff came in from outside and took Al out.With the support of a female nurse, Meryl limped away.
