The people who hired me are dead

Yun Xinzhuo has nothing to do, Meryl and Ivis are safe in this ward, and Yun Xinzhuo is fully capable of protecting them.

He threw away the apple core in his hand and wiped his hands casually.He walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, left the curtains and looked at the drowsy sky.Lightning pierced through the clouds, illuminating his pale face and eyes full of fear.

"How does the rain smell?" Yun Xinzhuo asked softly, clutching his throbbing chest.

"Mud, wet, um... wet soil, probably like this." Elvis said tangled, "I don't know how to describe it, it smells like rain."

Yun Xinzhuo pressed his palm on the cold glass, and the rain outside the window flowed down the glass.He carefully felt the touch of the palm of his hand, and the raindrops seemed to flow from his palm.

He looked at the dark sky and the dark clouds in the distance, listened to the sound of raindrops hitting the window, and smelled the smell of blood in the air.He's still terrified, but his doctor told him he'll be fine soon.

The corner of Yun Xinzhuo's mouth raised a slight arc, he took a deep breath, and his eyes lit up.He knew what rain was when he was a child, but later he smelled more blood, and he forgot what rainy days are like, but he will soon be like a normal person.

Ives looked at Yun Xinzhuo's back, he opened his mouth to say something and then pursed his lips.He looked down at the cupcake in his hand, was silent for a while, and said hesitantly, "Actually, I just felt more."

"What?" Yun Xinzhuo looked back at Ives in doubt.

"I felt a pain in my scalp at the time, and I realized it was an illusion, and then I broke away by myself." Ives thought about it: "It may be a bit strange to say this, but it's just... I don't want to feel the death forecast anymore, That feeling is over."

He paused and continued: "I have an idea, maybe I can perceive the death attack from the perspective of the victim. Maybe I can insist on perception next time, and I may have a chance to know who the 'I' in the trailer is."

"I don't suggest you do that." Yun Xinzhuo slowed down his tone and calmed down with a soft voice: "I understand your thoughts, but I don't want you to force yourself to feel the taste of death."

"Aren't you going to save the survivor, the one I just received the death notice from?"

"Not every time I can arrive in time." Yun Xinzhuo retracted his gaze and said softly, "There are at least [-] survivors this time."

"Look, this is my role." Elvis said excitedly, pointing to his head, "What if I can really know who I am in the trailer, even if I just hear the voice..."

"Ivis." Yun Xinzhuo interrupted Avis's excited voice, he frowned and said: "No matter how strong your determination and firm belief you are, you are just a teenager. Your I can't bear it psychologically, and I am very worried that the shadow of death will accompany you for the rest of your life."

"I only feel pain when I receive the notice. I won't die. But they will. I want to save those people." Ives said with gestures: "Now that I have this ability, I should protect them."

"The premise of protecting others is that you can protect yourself." Yun Xinzhuo said in a deep voice.

"I didn't die because of it," Elvis said.

"You will be tortured because of it." Yun Xinzhuo lowered his face and raised his voice and said, "You don't need to do that, we can think of a way."

Ives looked at Yun Xinzhuo in surprise and slowly shook his head. He walked around the room, turned his head and grinned at Yun Xinzhuo and said, "Aren't you all like this, protect us with your life, and I also... "

"I protect the survivors because I am a policeman. This is my duty. I protect Lilian because I am a man and Lilian is a pregnant woman." Yun Xinzhuo looked straight at Elvis: "I'm a grown man, Ives, and I protect them morally, and I have the power to do so."

"I can do it too." Elvis' stubborn voice dropped, he lowered his head, his lips were tightly pursed, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

Meryl, who had been unable to intervene, whispered to Elvis: "That's not your fault, Elvis, you didn't do anything wrong."

Yun Xinzhuo raised his brows, he saw a drop of tear dripping from Ives' finger, and hit the tile floor without making a sound or leaving many traces.

But Yun Xinzhuo could feel the weight of this tear, which contained a child's deep-seated guilt.

"It's not your fault." Yun Xinzhuo sighed and said, "Ivis, you don't have to force..."

Before Yun Xinzhuo finished speaking, Elvis' eyes widened suddenly, and he covered the back of his head.

"I feel it." Ives said in a daze while kneeling on the ground while his body was planted.

"Ivis, don't do this." Meryl, who was standing beside him, grabbed his shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, just leave it to them... Ivis? Can you hear me? ?"

Elvis looked at Meryl, who was holding the back of his head with one hand and covering his neck with the other.He slowly opened his mouth, stretched his neck and blushed slightly.

"Ivis?" Yun Xinzhuo walked over quickly to support Ivis's crumbling body, frowning and looking at him worriedly.

"My head hurts." Avis made a choked voice in his throat. He grabbed Yun Xinzhuo's arm and said in pain: "I heard a scream, right next to my ear, my head hurts... ...like something stuck in my head..."

Cold sweat rolled down Elvis' forehead, and his face turned pale.He tugged at his hair, his eyes turned red.

"Ivis." Yun Xinzhuo said in a deep voice, "It's ok, don't feel it anymore."

"It's surrounded by white...white walls." Ivis panted violently, and he raised his head and said hoarsely: "I can't breathe, I have someone, someone is hugging me...I can't breathe, I feel that I am fast Dead, Yun... Officer, I can't..."

Elvis scratched his neck with his fingers, leaving scratches on it.Meryl tugged on his arm, not wanting him to hurt her.

"Stop, Elvis, stop." Yun Xinzhuo pressed Elvis' shoulder and looked into his eyes.The boy's gray-blue eyes looked forward without focus, and Yun Xinzhuo saw despair and fear of death in these eyes.

"Avis!"

Elvis' body began to twist violently, he struggled desperately, and let out a painful cry.

Yun Xinzhuo had no choice but to grab his collar and slap him twice with controlled strength.

"Are you awake?" Yun Xinzhuo looked at Elvis's red and swollen cheeks, took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know why I won't let you try?"

Ives looked at Yun Xinzhuo blankly, as if he was frightened.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Yun Xinzhuo wiped the tears on Elvis' face with his sleeve, and repeated in a soft voice: "Are you uncomfortable, Elvis."

Elvis didn't answer, he hugged Yun Xinzhuo, buried him on his shoulder and cried loudly: "I thought I was dead, I feel so bad for Officer Yun..."

He spoke vaguely, leaning against Yun Xinzhuo's arms tensely.

Yun Xinzhuo patted the trembling body in his arms, his lips turned slightly white.He knew what it was like to die, he had known firsthand the despair of dying.A strong will can make people face death bravely, and devout faith can make people accept their fate calmly.

But when a sword pierces the skin, when a bullet penetrates the body, people will experience pain.The body does not lie, the blood does not lie, the fear engraved in the memory does not lie.

Yun Xinzhuo will never forget the feeling of the steel plate piercing through his chest, and he will also look at himself nailed to the wall from the perspective of a bystander in his dreams.He rubbed the back of Elvis' head, knowing that no matter what, Elvis' body would remember the feeling just now.

"I'm fine." Elvis pushed Yun Xinzhuo and said, "I'll tell you what I saw now."

His clothes were soaked in cold sweat, his hair was stuck to his forehead, and his voice trembled visibly when he spoke.

In fact, Yun Xinzhuo really wanted to say, you can rest for a while before relaying the death notice, recalling it immediately is not good for your spirit.

But he looked into Elvis' eyes and didn't know what to say.

"I want to take on this." Ives showed a stiff smile to Yun Xinzhuo, and he gasped, "I have the ability to obtain death notices, and I want to use it to do something."

He stood up tremblingly, and politely refused Meryl's support.

"I'm tired of living now, and I'm very guilty." Ivis rubbed his eyes, wiped away his tears and continued: "I don't want to live with guilt forever, it's too hard to live like that."

He grinned and said to Yun Xinzhuo with frowned eyebrows: "It's a good thing to live, Officer Yun, I want to live well."

Yun Xinzhuo patted him on the shoulder as encouragement, when a policeman opened the door and walked in.Yun Xinzhuo pressed Avis's hand slightly harder, and Avis blinked and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

The policeman looked at Yun Xinzhuo and said, "A former police officer from Coronado?"

"It's me, what's the matter?" Yun Xinzhuo subconsciously took a step forward, bringing the two children under his protection.

"Your colleague is looking for you." The policeman said, and stepped aside, a fat man appeared in front of the door.

After asking a few words, the police turned and left.Sidney immediately closed the door, dropped the backpack in his hand and ran over to give Yun Xinzhuo a big hug.

"You didn't even go back to Coronado to see me. I thought you forgot about my friend." Sidney complained, the flesh on his face trembling.

"Sorry. I've been a little busy recently." Yun Xinzhuo said, and sent a message to Reid, trying to call them over.

"Prefer sex over friends." Sidney tilted his head and looked at Yun Xinzhuo's phone screen and muttered.

"I need to find him in a hurry." Yun Xinzhuo put away his phone, looked at the smiling Sidney in front of him, he pursed his lips and felt a headache.

"You can go to the candy house to rest first, Little Liv and Grandma Miller will accompany you." Yun Xinzhuo pushed Sidney and said quickly: "We are dealing with some problems, and it is not convenient for anyone to be present."

"But I came here to help you..." Sidney shrugged and said, "I feel that you are in some trouble, Yun, and I don't think I can let you face this alone."

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Yun Xinzhuo immediately replied: "Don't worry, we're in a bit of a hurry here, I'll talk to you later."

"Okay... I know Yun, I guess you are facing unnatural events." Sidney picked up his backpack dejectedly, walked to the door and prepared to leave, he turned his head and whispered: "Although I can't help it, but I want to help you. Yun, you are my best friend and my only friend."
