Salvation and redemption

However, all the fear and other complex emotions including the upcoming anger, Lloyd had no time to explore the moment he forcibly opened the door. He took a full look at Shi Tao's situation at the first glance, and then Clearly understand the location of all the monitors and other equipment in the room, and in the next action, Lloyd turns off the lights and cuts off all the wires connected to the camera and sound receiver one by one. His night vision ability does not prevent him from saving people. But how to save this person, even Lloyd was in trouble for a moment, and finally he could only make a decision, walked up to Shi Tao, and said to Shi Tao in a low voice, "Hold on, just stop good."

Shi Tao, who was handcuffed to the iron railing with one hand, had already been tormented dizzy by pain and exhaustion. His injured wrist and dislocated shoulder had long been overwhelmed. It sounded like a hallucination, but the next moment, he felt that he no longer needed to straighten his body. At the same time, his wrist and shoulder experienced severe pain. However, he still felt that his shoulder was about to break, and no matter how careful the other party was, it was impossible for him to reset his shoulder and take off the handcuffs at the same time. Lloyd just removed the handcuffs from the iron the moment he reset his shoulder. The handcuffs were removed from the railing, so the wrists were still cuffed, especially because the injured wrists were subjected to gravity for a long time. The edges of the handcuffs had already been deeply embedded in the wounds. Lloyd carefully laid Shi Tao on the ground, and then forcefully broke them apart. Handcuffs, Shi Tao was so painful that his whole body shrank instantly, he couldn't help turning his head to the other side, and clenched his teeth hard, but the □□ sound still couldn't stop overflowing his lips, Lloyd finally took out half of the attached handcuffs. The flesh and blood handcuffs couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately, he picked up the man and left the room as quickly as possible.

All of this happened in less than half a minute. When Chen Yingxiong realized that the machine was malfunctioning and rushed to the basement, Shi Tao, who had been handcuffed inside, had disappeared.

Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment, he ran out of the room in a hurry, went upstairs and sounded the alarm.

The siren rang throughout the villa, only the balcony floor was not disturbed, but the red light of the walkie-talkie that "Shi Tao" put on the table began to flash non-stop, and "Shi Tao" soon noticed it.

"Father, I have some things to deal with." "Shi Tao" was having breakfast with the old man at this time, when he saw the signal light flashing, he immediately took a napkin to wipe his lips, and stood up and said.

He said he was "accompanying" the old man to eat, but in fact it was "Shi Tao" who fed the old man first, and then sat down to eat. At this moment, he stood up, picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered the servants to take the food away.

The old man nodded slightly and did not speak, while "Shi Tao" quickly left the balcony and walked towards the elevator room. In just this little time, the servants had quickly removed the food.

The breeze blew past the old man's face with a little bit of dampness, and the old man couldn't help squinting his eyes. He has been staying on the balcony, except for the balcony, which is the room. His every day is spent in this kind of waiting, But even so, he still wants to live, and being able to look at the blue sky and white clouds like this seems to have become the whole meaning of his current life. Only very occasionally, he will think of his past glory, and , the person he couldn't forget even if he wanted to.

Suddenly, an extremely low voice came into the old man's ears, and the old man couldn't help shaking. No matter how low the voice was, he could instantly distinguish it. The one who felt owed, wanted to see but didn't dare to see - the one who had the terrible resilience to return from the dead - his true son.

"……Father……"

The voice came from behind him, low and tired, as if it could be blown away by the wind at any moment, but it called him very clearly, reminding him that this was not an auditory hallucination.

After a long while, the old man controlled the wheelchair and turned around slowly.

Shi Tao was standing behind him in a suit, his face was pale and too thin, his bright and clear eyes were full of exhaustion, his hair was wet, and his whole body seemed to be crumbling, but He stood in front of the old man as if trying to be brave.

"...you really... are here...my...father..."

When Shi Tao was talking to the old man, Lloyd was nearby. He was hiding in the bushes. On the one hand, he could pay close attention to the movement downstairs, and on the other hand, he could effectively protect Shi Tao's safety. However, in Shi Tao's current state Lloyd was really worried that he would fall down in the next second. When the alarm sounded just now, they took the elevator to the safest balcony one step faster than "Shi Tao". Originally, Lloyd was about to take Shi Tao to leave the villa. But suddenly he was slightly taken aback by his extremely low "Father". At that time, he lowered his head and met Shi Tao's unbelievable but painful eyes, and suddenly realized that this old man was probably the reason why Shi Tao came here. Immediately asked, "Are you here to find him?"

Shi Tao nodded. Although he didn't speak, Lloyd could sense his urgency from his eyes. After thinking for a while, Lloyd took off his suit and put it on for him. The safest position in the room, but Lloyd is also very clear that Shi Tao should still be in pain so far that he can't even hold back the cold sweat. After all, he was just released from the harsh state of captivity, and it didn't even take 5 minutes. No, but at this moment he is holding the suit with his good hands, purposely covering his bloody wrists, including the wounds on his body that have not had a chance to heal, forcing himself to straighten his back, making himself look more stable .

Lloyd was worried and angry at the same time, more painful, and extremely helpless at the same time. Although he saved the person, Lloyd couldn't forget the scene just now, and in a blink of an eye he saw this person trying to pretend Acting as if he hadn't suffered, it made him feel extremely heartbroken.

...heartache?

Wait a moment……

When... he also had a heart?

Thinking of this, Lloyd was startled suddenly.

The old man didn't say anything at this time, but just looked at Shi Tao with an indescribable excitement in his eyes. If it wasn't for him not being able to move, he might have lost control long ago.

"Father... after so many years, I don't know... what you did..., as... your son, I beg you, stop all this... okay?"

The old man looked at him, and after listening to his words, his eyes slowly became calm, but at this moment, there was too much involuntary expression in his eyes, and after a long while, he slowly said, "It's...too late ..."

"...As long as you are willing...it is never too late..." Shi Tao said.

The eyes of the old man were quite complicated, and he did not answer directly, but asked Shi Tao, "Do you... hate me?"

Shi Tao shook his head.

For some reason, the old man seemed a little disappointed, and murmured, "Don't you hate..."

"What do I have to do... so you agree to me?" Shi Tao asked again.

The old man smiled unconsciously, but the corners of his mouth were stiff, showing a smile that wasn't even a smile, and said, "Look at me...the me now, I can't do anything anymore..."

There was heartache and pity in Shi Tao's eyes. He collected himself and said, "I...only hope that you...can end all of this...exactly...how...you are willing to promise me..."

Hearing his words, the old man's eyes changed again, becoming a little sharper, and he asked, "Do you know... the consequences of ending all this?"

Shi Tao looked at the old man and fell silent.

The old man said, "You don't know anything, I advise you not to ask any more questions."

After hearing the words for a while, Shi Tao murmured, "So... you have always... still refused to...promise me..."

The old man looked at him silently.

Shi Tao seemed to be in pain because of disappointment, he closed his eyes unconsciously, sweat dripped down his forehead, his body shook slightly, Lloyd almost appeared at the side, Shi Tao suddenly reappeared He opened his eyes, looked at his father, and said, "Father...you know...I have always...loved you..."

The old man didn't speak, just stared at Shi Tao. After a while, he seemed to have made a certain decision, and said to Shi Tao, "Son, I have my reasons, and you will understand later." He had already pressed a certain button with one hand, and suddenly, a series of bullets were shot from the armrest of the wheelchair, and Lloyd's movements were faster, he stepped in front of Shi Tao with a lunge, and all the bullets shot on Lloyd's body in an instant .

"... Lloyd?!" Shi Tao's eyes widened. Before he could react to the fact that his father was going to shoot him, he watched Lloyd standing in front of him, blocking the bullet, and at the same time holding on Don't fall down.

At this moment, Lloyd saw that "Shi Tao" had already taken people into the elevator.

He made a quick decision, stepped forward and hugged Shi Tao, then jumped off the balcony on the planned route.

"Shi Tao" saw this scene as soon as he rushed out of the elevator. He rushed to the edge of the balcony, and at the same time, holding the walkie-talkie, he said to the villa's bodyguards, "They are going to the dense forest in the southeast! Catch them! Don't let them They're gone!"

He gave an order, and dozens of bodyguards rushed out from the gate of the villa, quickly chasing after him in the direction indicated by "Shi Tao".

---------------------------------------------

"Hold on to me!" Lloyd whispered to Shi Tao when he jumped off the balcony. In the next second, Shi Tao felt that the two of them were in mid-air, and he wrapped one hand around Lloyd's neck and grabbed his back. In the next second, Lloyd brought him down to the ground and ran quickly, but Shi Tao only felt that his palms were wet, and there was a smell of rust pouring into his nose. He immediately let go of his hands and found that his hands had already been covered with blood.

It was obviously Lloyd's gunshot wound just now, but after the contact just now, Shi Tao realized that he seemed unable to help Lloyd at all, and transferred his injury to himself.

"Don't bother, I can still run, it's fine." Lloyd seemed to know what he wanted to do, whispered to him, his voice was full of gentleness at the moment, but this kind of gentleness, in Shi Tao's ears, Feeling too ominous, he looked up at Lloyd and couldn't help frowning.

The footsteps behind him followed closely, and Lloyd knew very well that since he was in safe mode now, it would be difficult to escape.

"Hold on to me." He said to Shi Tao while running.

Shi Tao grabbed him as he said, but this time he just grabbed Lloyd's neck, because he couldn't see Lloyd's injury, so he didn't dare to touch his back easily.

Suddenly, the speed was so fast that Shi Tao couldn't understand it for a while, but a very mechanical voice suddenly came from his ear.

"Fatal error in teleport program start."

"A system program has encountered a fatal error and is about to shut down."

"15 seconds left until the system shuts down—"

"Fifteen, fourteen, thirteen..."

"Lloyd? What happened?" Shi Tao was keenly aware of the threat to Lloyd by the countdown at this moment.

"nineteen……"

Lloyd didn't have time to answer. He hasn't been able to send Shi Tao to a safe place yet, but what should he do to get Shi Tao out of danger? Small pills came to mind.

Then, another voice came from the countdown:

"Signal search..."

Tokyo, Japan

"Found it!" Xiao Yaowan jumped up excitedly, staring at the flashing red dots on the screen. At the same time, she also received a signal from Lloyd to actively search for her.

Before Mayang had time to ask where Lloyd was, the little pill had already disappeared with teleportation.

Mindanao

"Seven, six, five..."

"Shi Tao, I'm sorry, I can only take you here." Lloyd said, and the seconds had reached "three". Lloyd knew that his system was about to be shut down, so he stopped, knelt down and brought Shi Tao to a stable position. Put it down, let him sit on the ground against the tree, then stared into his eyes and said, "Thank you, I finally understand what my purpose is, that's because I want to—"

It's a pity that there was no time to say the second half of the sentence, Shi Tao watched Lloyd's eyes suddenly close, and at the same time he fell to the ground.

"Lloyd!" The little pill appeared out of thin air at the same time Lloyd fell to the ground, and couldn't help shouting.

Shi Tao couldn't care about his wrist injury for a long time, he supported himself close to Lloyd with one hand, and at the same time stretched out his arms to hug him, refusing to give up and wanted to try to use his ability again, but Xiao Yaowan knew best that Shi Tao was the only one who could save him. The one who couldn't help was Lloyd. At this moment, there were numerous footsteps in the woods.

Xiao Yaowan didn't delay any longer, and disappeared into the dense forest with Lloyd and Shi Tao.
