【Ruijin】Eye of the Storm

"The S-level guide element is much more useful than I imagined. It is really a waste to keep it on you for so many years to be used by that stupid organization. Instead of continuing to work for the tower, it is better to cooperate with me— —What do you think, Golden Guide?"

Following Ghost Fox's words, the entire warehouse immediately fell into a deathly silence.Jin's hands holding the gun froze in place, and his blue pupils constricted instantly.

However, it was the sentry on the other side who reacted more violently.Ge Rui handed Lena, who was in his hand, to Lei Shi, and he slowly took a step forward, his hawk-like purple eyes were firmly nailed to the ghost fox's face, and he said with a frosty face: "What do you say?" What do you mean?" Lei Shi, who was still trying to breathe smoothly, immediately felt the violent sentinel in the air gradually rising, and the concentration was becoming more and more abnormal. He frowned and glanced sideways at the monitor on Gray's left wrist. The LED indicator light on it was slowly flashing orange, warning the Sentinel Gray to the critical point of rampage.

"Literally." Ghost Fox squinted his eyes and looked down, staying on Gray's wrist for a second, apparently also noticing the monitoring bracelet.He shrugged, and a white fox came out from his feet and sat beside the ghost fox: "In the end, it can be regarded as a reunion meeting of comrades-in-arms. Although we can't expect to be grateful, there is no need to be so tense. How about this , Captain Gray, how about letting me make a deal with your guide? You let me leave safely, and I will tell you the information you want."

"Look at the situation clearly," Lei Shi raised his voice, and pinched Lena's neck expressionlessly with one free hand, forcing her to raise her head high like a dying swan. Painful sobs spit out from the throat, "Your people are already in our hands, where do you have the confidence to make a deal with us under such circumstances?"

The ghost fox laughed as if hearing something very funny, and didn't look at Lena's direction at all: "She is just one of my thousands of chess pieces, she is not an important person at all, If you want to kill it, kill it. It is my bargaining chip here, which will probably be of great interest to you."

Lena, who was still struggling fiercely, stopped all her movements after hearing these words, as if the rest button had been pressed. Lei Shi clicked his tongue lightly, and let go of the hand that was clamping her. The female sentinel He lowered his head deeply like a puppet whose electricity was cut off, and could no longer see any expression.

In the quiet air, there was the slight sound of gun parts rubbing and colliding. Ghost Fox heard the sound, raised his eyes to look in Jin's direction again, and saw the blond guide with his head slightly lowered, and inserted the pistol back into the gun pocket on the outside of his thigh. , and slowly walked between him and Gray.

"What I hate the most is people like you who don't value their relatives and companions." Jin raised his head to look directly at him, his blue eyes were firm and decisive far beyond his own age, and he spoke clearly, " I don't want to be with people like you."

Hearing such an answer, Ghost Fox's expression twisted subtly: "Let's save the preaching for later. Of course you can kill me, but if I die, your sentry has tracked down for nearly 15 years." matter', it will never be possible to get to the bottom of it."

The cryptic pointing in Ghost Fox's words surprised Gray and Jin at the same time.The silver-haired guide didn't miss the flashing expressions on the faces of the two people in front of him, and a sense of revenge slowly rose from the bottom of his heart: "Oh? This surprised me. I thought that the combination whistle must be to each other. The heart-to-heart trust, I didn't expect to have a little secret to hide, but let me, an outsider, take advantage of the loophole."

"——Golden Guide, don't you know?" Ghost Fox stood idly on the spot with his chest folded, showing a treacherous smile, "About you, the strongest S-class in history combined with Sentinel, who was captured overnight People slaughtered their parents and forcibly injected them with undeveloped illicit drugs."

"—Shut up!" The ghost fox's words were interrupted by Gray's long-suppressed low cry, and as the gray wolf howled from far to near, Gray held the body that was directly embodied by the spiritual body. The completed green knife-shaped weapon rushed straight to Guihu Tianchong's face with a biting wind in an instant.

Jin hadn't recovered from the shocking information he received just now, when he saw Gray, who was attacking, suddenly seemed to be hit hard by something, his body lost his balance, and fell to the ground halfway.He called Gray's name loudly and rushed over to support him. When he saw the red light flickering on the other's wrist, his heart almost stopped.

Gray used his shoulders to separate the anxious Jin a little, the veins on both sides of his neck bulged, he gritted his teeth and half knelt on the ground to bear the electric current from the bracelet on his left hand.The electric shock in punishment mode paralyzed his entire left half of his body and caused severe pain.Jin didn't care about Gray's stop. He put his hands around the sentinel's shoulders and wanted to use the power of the guide to relieve him. Unexpectedly, the moment his golden guide tentacles entered Gray's spiritual realm, he was firmly blocked by a barrier erected. outside.

Jin Xiang received a huge blow, he froze in place, and the chill flowed through every corner of his body.For the first time, he was blocked by Gray's mental barrier for the first time.He looked at Gray in disbelief, opened and closed his lips a few times, and finally managed to say a word: "...Why, don't you let me help you?"

Gray still lowered his head and was panting violently. Instead of looking at Jin, he just clenched his hands into fists without saying a word.

Taking advantage of the moment of panic, the fox in Ghost Fox's spiritual body immediately picked up a gun that fell on the ground in the scuffle not long ago with his mouth and gave it to Ghost Fox. He quickly loaded the gun and pointed it at Gray's gun. direction, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that today is really not a good time to talk." He maintained the posture of raising his gun, and slowly retreated towards the exit under the tight sunlight of the three people in front of him, slowly hiding his figure in the dense crowd outside. In the fog: "But it's okay, I still have time...Guide Jin," he turned his gun to Jin, who was still supporting Gray and knelt on the ground, with an unpredictable smile on his face, "... Remember our deal, there will be a period later."

The incident of transforming people's whistle came to an end temporarily after the first meeting with Ghost Fox. Although the culprit behind the scenes was not caught, there were no new victims.During the entire operation, many people were injured to varying degrees. Red and An Mixiu returned to the second tower for treatment, and the rest of Kelly, Lei Shi, and Jin were also sent to the first tower for recuperation. Department of treatment and counseling.

Zitang Huan stood in front of the ward with a small basket of fresh fruit in his arms and hesitated for a long time. He closed his eyes and took several deep breaths before he managed to prepare himself mentally, and quietly pushed open the door in front of him.

The curtains of the single ward were half drawn, and the bleak winter sun shone through the jagged branches in the yard onto a small piece of floor in front of the window.Zitang guessed that the person who should have been asleep was unexpectedly awake at this moment, leaning against the hospital bed, with an IV drip in his left hand.Hearing the sound of the door opening, Jin Cai took his eyes back from the window, and slowly turned his head to look at Zi Tang Huan who was standing at the door in a daze.

He was obviously stunned for a moment, but immediately showed a warm and bright smile: "Zitang, you are here!"

"...Mmm, um!" Looking at Jin's smiling face, Zitang felt a sudden sour nose. He quickly lowered his head and pushed his glasses to hide his gaffe, then adjusted his expression and walked over quickly, taking the fruit basket Put it on the bedside of Jin Kongluoluo's hospital bed, and sit on an empty chair beside the bed.

"How do you feel, Jin?" Zitang asked with concern.

"Ah, I've been fine for a long time," Jin blinked at him with a smile, then pointed to the needle on the back of his hand, "It's just glucose. Kelly, Lei Shi, and Brother An, how are they? okay?"

Zitang nodded vigorously, and managed to hold up a smiling face to respond to him: "It's okay, although I haven't regained consciousness yet, but I went there to inquire, and the therapist said that the situation has stabilized, and it's only a matter of time before I wake up. According to Guide An, According to the second tower, the recovery is not bad."

After hearing his words, Jin Cai let out a sigh of relief.The fingers of his right hand, which had not been pricked, kept curling the white quilt unconsciously. Zitang noticed his small movements and felt really sad. I hope you feel better soon, really! I, uh, I will come and see you often, before you leave the hospital."

Jin looked at him in surprise, with flowing light in his blue eyes: "I'm really fine. Speaking of which, it seems that this is the second time I've been here in a short period of time. The therapists and nurses here are very good, I’m fine by myself. Ah, I heard that Tower Chief Daniel came here before I woke up, so don’t worry about me, Shidou.”

Zitang Huan bit his lip, but still didn't let go. He hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said again with difficulty: "...Jin, about Gray, I know you must be very worried about him, but ..."

Jin's breathing slowed down suddenly, his eyelashes trembled subconsciously when he heard the name, and then slowly lowered his eyelids.After a while, Zitang felt a small force grabbing him.He raised his eyes in surprise, and saw that the fingers of Jin's right hand were firmly holding a small piece of fabric on his cuff, with such strength that the hand began to tremble slightly.

Jin's Adam's apple quickly slid up and down a few times, and when he spoke again, there was a trace of intense emotion in the pair of blue eyes that stared at him that Zitang Huan had never seen before in Jin: "It's been... more than a week I'm not allowed to ask anything about Gray, he hasn't come to see me, and no one has told me what's going on with him."

"Zitang..." Jin struggled to prop up his body, the impatience and hope in his eyes could no longer be hidden, his voice was slightly hoarse like lack of water, "I want to see him, I want to see Gray, please... ..."

"..."

In Zitang Huan's impression, Jin is the most special person in Yita he has ever known.How can there be such a person in the world?Always doing what you want to do without fear, always smiling at every partner you work with without reservation, even the wizard seems to have a smell like afternoon sunshine.He never treats people around him differently because of the letter grade electronically printed on the Sentinel Guide Qualification License. Jin's kindness and purity make him the first real good friend Zitang Huan has made in his life.

He really wanted to do something for Jin, otherwise he wouldn't be so red-eyed when he heard this almost weak prayer.

Zi Tanghuan gritted his teeth and stood up abruptly, almost overturning the chair at his feet. "Jin, wait for me, I'll be right back." He shouted at Jin, and ran out of the ward quickly.After about ten minutes, Zitang appeared at the door of the ward again, panting slightly, quickly grabbed Jin's hand, and said with burning eyes: "Follow me!"

Jin didn't have time to ask Zitang Huan what he had done. He hadn't moved freely for so long that he staggered when he rolled over and got off the bed. Thanks to supporting the edge of the bed in time, he didn't fall down.Before he could put on his slippers, he rushed out of the ward with bare feet and ran along the corridor.When he followed Zitang and passed the medical office, he found that the doors of all the offices were wide open, and the therapists and nurses on duty inside were lying on the desks, drowsy.Jin Xin moved, and a certain emotion rapidly expanded in his chest.

The two ran all the way to the door of a ward at the end of the corridor on this floor, and Zitang stopped.He turned his head and panted to Jin and said: "I have temporarily distracted the guarding sentry, but we still have to hurry up. Jin, Gray, he is inside."

Jin nodded and looked at the obviously strengthened ward in front of him.The door requires a biometric lock code to enter. There are no windows on the outer wall, and only a small monitor is left on the far right.

He walked quickly to the display screen of the monitor, and caught sight of the silver-haired sentinel on the "sick bed".

Gray is naked///Lying on his side with his upper body exposed and his back facing Jin, there are the same monitoring rings on his hands and feet to limit his sentinel levels, and the monitoring catheters are connected to several machines beside the bed .From the small monitor screen, Jin saw that Gray's left arm was still wrapped in a bandage after receiving the electric shock, and other parts of his upper body were also covered with scars that appeared to be caused by fierce struggle.The Sentinel was motionless, looking as calm as a pool of stagnant water.Jin gently rubbed the untreated wounds on Geri's body in the camera with the pulp of his index finger. At this moment, the sentinel in the room turned around slowly as if he felt something suddenly. Only then did Jin discover his wounds. His eyes were also covered with a black cloth.A resonant pain and grief suddenly exploded in the guide's brain. Jin was so painful that he couldn't make any sound, only tears fell drop by drop from his eye sockets on the monitor screen.

Gray, Gray.

He yelled the name of his joint sentry over and over again in his heart, completely ignoring Zitang Huan's anxious voice behind him reminding him that the guard sentry had returned, until someone grabbed his shoulder from behind.

Realizing the purpose of the person coming, Jin couldn't control his violent anger at all, he turned around and swung his fist hard, hitting the guard guard's face hard.

There was an instant commotion in the corridor, and Zitang Huan desperately hugged Jin's waist and dragged him to prevent Jin from losing his mind again and having a physical conflict with other sentries in the medical department.Hearing the sound of fighting upstairs, more sentries ran over from the lower floor, trying to stop Jin's behavior.However, the mind control network that broke out suddenly in the chaos held all the comers in place in the next second, unable to move.The blond guide, who was still wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, stood up from the ground, walked towards the guard sentry who was lying on the ground under everyone's fearful eyes, bent down and grabbed his collar.

There were still tears on Jin's face that he hadn't had time to wipe off, and his pupils, which were originally as blue as the clear sky, now faintly exuded a chilling dark red.

"I want to see Daniel," he said condescendingly, looking down at the sentry, "Take me to see him."
