The Whispering Verses Chapter 185: Guns, assassinations, detectives and streets


The cheers and people's excited chatting simply made Shade's ears hurt when he was in this scene but couldn't participate.

Xia De looked serious and stared ahead. He found an opportunity and squeezed the crowd back, preparing to make room for a few steps and then accelerate and jump, sprinting across the street before the convoy arrived.

A middle-aged man who was further away from the motorcade and about ten people away from Shade slowly took his right hand out of the inner pocket of his coat in the confusion and joy.

His eyes were fixed on Queen Diana in the approaching motorcade, staring closely without looking to the side at all.

At the entrance of the station, Miss Bayas and her team members were surrounded by the Thirteenth Ring Warlock who had come from afar. Her eyesight was very good, and she suddenly spotted the taller Shade among the crowd in the distance. He had a smile on his face and was considering whether to say hello.

The blue-eyed Dr. Schneider, who was watching the fun with friends from the psychology clinic at the corner of the street, also saw Shade. He smiled and shook his head and sighed. He didn't expect that the detective also liked to join in the fun, so he opened his mouth to say hello.

Miss Carina, who was sitting next to Queen Diana in the carriage, saw Shade on the roadside. The red-haired duchess did not want to say hello to him.

On the other side of the street, Captain Rades's muscles tensed up and he was too busy rushing towards the fat woman to notice Shade.

Mr. Anlos, the director of MI6 in the crowd, noticed Shade at close range, but because they had only met once, he hesitated before confirming that it was him. He didn't know what the young detective was trying to do with his strange posture at this moment. .

While the police officer in front of him looked to the left at the arriving motorcade, Shade jogged two steps forward.

The middle-aged man looked at Queen Diana's face in the car window and slowly pulled his right hand out of his inner pocket.

The crowd cheered even more enthusiastically, and the band waiting at the station door played music, making the scene even more lively and chaotic.

Xia De frowned and pushed away the policeman in front of him, then rushed forward with both legs to cross the wall.

A middle-aged man dozens of people away suddenly pulled something out of his pocket with his right hand.

Shadow jumped up next to the policeman.

The middle-aged man pulled out a pistol from under his coat.

Xia De lifted his feet off the ground and into the air, rushing forward very quickly.

The gunman cannot hesitate, raise his hand forward and pull the trigger.

The moment after he moved his fingers, he saw an additional person between the muzzle of the gun and the car window.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Bang!

"Ah!"

A huge sound seemed to be exploding in his ears. Shade, who jumped into the air, was unprepared. With the huge momentum, his whole body slid in the air towards the direction of the carriage. He was accurately hit in the gunfire, and then he fell to the ground and rolled twice, holding his chest and motionless.

The screams, echoes of gunshots, shouts, curses, horses neighing...these became fainter and fainter in Shade's ears as he lay on the ground.

He lay on the ground and looked over the clothes that were flashing around him, looking at the mist above and the dazzling sunlight passing through the mist. The sunlight shone on his face, his bloodless face.

Time seemed to stop at this moment. He didn't know what happened just now. He only knew that he was accurately shot in the left chest.

"This is bad luck..."

The sounds of footsteps spread chaotically in his ears, shoes stepped on the ground, skirts brushed against his legs, and more incomprehensible sounds were mixed together, but these were not important anymore. The cold earth was beneath him, and the dark and oppressive sky above him.

"Shad!"

"Detective!"

"Hamilton!"

"Detective Hamilton!"

"You..."

The crowd was moving away from him. In a trance, he saw Miss Carina in the carriage through the gap in the crowd, saw Captain Rades knocking down the fat woman, and saw Miss Bayas walking over to see what was going on. , saw Dr. Schneider’s panicked look on tiptoe behind the crowd, and saw Mr. Anlos frantically trying to catch the man who fired the gun.

But the two were too far apart, and Mr. Anlos could not cross the crowd immediately.

The middle-aged man who fired the gun looked at the young man lying on the ground, smiled bitterly as if mocking himself, and pointed the pistol at his head.

Bang~

Xia De looked away, lying there and looking at the hazy gray sky, and the scenes after coming to this world passed before his eyes. His expression became calm...

Then he heard laughter in his ears, which was definitely a mocking sound.

"No, what I threw was just a 9. How could I be beaten to death and exposed in the street?"

In the surprised eyes of Miss Carina, Captain Rades, Miss Bayas, Dr. Schneider, Mr. Anlos, the onlookers, the police who maintained order, the royal guards, and Queen Diana who was under emergency protection , Xia Deli sat up with his hands on the ground.

He patted the dirt on his clothes and looked at his body:

"Why doesn't my chest hurt?"

Muttering to himself, he touched his left chest under the gaze of everyone nearby. The special pistol and bullets were indeed very powerful. He touched the chest pocket of his shirt, froze for a moment, and took out the thing.

Round, delicate, small, cold, and silver material reflects the sunlight that penetrates the clouds and dense fog at this moment.

The bullet is set in the center of the "Church of Dawn 1053 Feast of Holy Prayer Commemorative Coin" with incomparable precision. The silver coin is dented, but the notched ring on the holy emblem holds the bullet tightly.

"Oh~"

He scratched his head, wanting to laugh inexplicably, and stood up and looked at everyone around him.

There are still shouts and noisy sounds in the distance, and police whistles echo in the sky. Police were blocking nearby streets, and plainclothes police on standby and more royal guards were arriving.

But at least the people around the royal carriage, the royal guards, the police at Ridwich Field, the citizens of Tobesk City, and friends of Shad's acquaintance, all looked at the silver coins in Shad's hand.

The sun shone on Shade from above. He was holding the silver coin, and the body of the suicide fell in front of him. At this moment, he actually felt that this matter was full of comedy.

Look up to the sky, and then look at the people around you:

“Bad luck led to being shot in the street, but because I didn’t ask for much, the bad luck wasn’t too bad. I just didn’t die... Fate is fair, and the manipulator must not die... Ha~I understand too~"

She chuckled in his ear.

Looked down at the silver coin in his hand:

"I no longer dare to manipulate fate."

He thought to himself.

"I want to donate more money to Dawn Church."

As he spoke, he quietly blinked at Miss Bayas and Dr. Schneider to indicate that he was fine. Then, amidst the exclamations of people, he clutched his chest and fell to the ground with a painful expression, moaning:

"Oh, I suffered internal injuries, the impact of the bullet was too..."

Xia De was unconscious next to the suicide corpse. When his head fell to the ground, it hit the soft corpse, so he was not hurt.

Of course, the coma was fake.

The gun smoke rose into the sky, far away from the noisy and chaotic streets. Although Tobesk is still shrouded in gray mist today, it is extremely lively.
