The cheers and excited conversations of the people really hurt Shad's ears as he was in the scene but couldn't participate in it.
Xia De had a serious expression and his eyes were fixed on the front. He found an opportunity and squeezed the crowd behind him to retreat, preparing to make room for a few jogs and then accelerate to jump, sprinting across the street before the convoy arrived.
A middle-aged man who was farther away from the convoy and about ten people away from Xia De, in the chaos and joy at this moment, slowly took his right hand out of the inside pocket of his coat.
His eyes were fixed on Queen Diana in the approaching motorcade, staring at her closely without looking to the side at all.
At the station entrance, Miss Bei Yasi and her team members surrounded the thirteen-ring sorcerer who had come from afar. She had good eyesight and immediately spotted the taller Shade in the crowd in the distance. She smiled and was considering whether to greet him.
Blue-eyed Dr. Schneider, who came to the street corner with his friends from the psychological clinic to watch the fun, also saw Shade. He smiled and shook his head, sighing. He didn't expect that the detective also liked to join in the fun, so he opened his mouth and was about to say hello.
Miss Carina, who was sitting next to Queen Diana in the carriage, saw Shad on the side of the road. The red-haired Duchess did not want to greet him.
Captain Rades, on the other side of the street, was so busy rushing towards the fat woman that he didn't notice Shad.
Mr. Anros, the director of MI6, who was in the crowd, noticed Shad up close, but because they had only met once, he hesitated before confirming it was him. He didn't know what the young detective meant by his strange gesture at the moment.
While the police officer in front of him was looking to the left at the arriving convoy, Xia De jogged forward two steps.
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 louder, and the band waiting outside the station entrance started playing music, making the scene even more lively and chaotic.
Xia De frowned, pushed away the policeman in front of him, and rushed forward with his legs to cross the wall of people.
A middle-aged man standing dozens of people away suddenly pulled something out of his pocket with his right hand.
Shad jumped up next to the policeman.
The middle-aged man pulled a pistol from under his coat.
Xia De's feet left the ground and came into the air, rushing forward very quickly.
The gunman cannot hesitate and must raise his hand forward and pull the trigger.
The moment after the finger moved, a person suddenly appeared between the gun muzzle and the car window.
"Um?"
"Um?"
Bang!
"ah!"
A huge sound seemed to explode in his ears. Xia De, who jumped into the air, was caught off guard and slid towards the carriage under the huge momentum. He was accurately hit by the gunshot, and then he fell to the ground, covering his chest, and rolled twice, with his head facing up, motionless.
Screams, echoes of gunshots, shouts, curses, neighing of horses... ... these became fainter and fainter in the ears of Shad who was lying on the ground.
He lay on the ground, looking past the clothes that kept flickering around him, looking at the mist in the sky, looking at the dazzling sunlight that penetrated the mist. The sunlight sprinkled on his face, sprinkled on his bloodless face.
Time seemed to stop at this moment. He didn't know what had happened just now. He only knew that he was shot accurately in the left chest.
"This is bad luck..."
The sound of footsteps spread chaotically in his ears, shoes hitting the ground, skirts brushing his legs, and many more incomprehensible sounds mixed together, but none of them mattered. The cold ground was beneath him, and above him was the gloomy and depressing sky.
"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 gaps in the crowd, saw Captain Rades knocking down the fat woman, saw Miss Beas coming over to see what happened, saw Dr. Schneider tiptoeing behind the crowd with a panicked look on his face, and saw Mr. Anros frantically trying to catch the man who fired the gun.
But the two men were too far apart for Mr. Anros to get past 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 gun at his head.
Bang!
Xia De looked away, lying there looking at the gray and misty sky, and the scenes after coming to this world flashed before his eyes. His expression became calm... ...
Then he heard laughter in his ear, which was definitely a mocking sound.
"That's not right. The number I threw out was just a 9. How could someone kill me and leave my body on the street?"
Under the surprised gazes of Miss Carina, Captain Rades, Miss Beatrice, Dr. Schneider, Mr. Anros, the onlookers, the police who were maintaining order, the royal guards, and Queen Diana who was under emergency protection, Shadliso sat up with the help of the ground.
He brushed the dirt off his clothes and looked at his body:
"Why doesn't your chest hurt anymore?"
He muttered to himself, and touched his left chest under the gaze of everyone nearby. The specially made pistol and bullets were indeed very powerful. He touched the pocket on the chest of his shirt, paused for a moment, and took out the thing.
Round, delicate, small, cold, the silver material reflects the sunlight that is now penetrating the dark clouds and thick fog.
The bullet head was embedded in the center of the "1053 Holy Prayer Festival Commemorative Coin of the Church of Dawn" with incredible precision. The silver coin was concave, but the notched ring on the holy emblem tightly held the bullet head.
"Oh~"
He scratched his head, feeling like laughing for some unknown reason, and stood up and looked at everyone around him.
There were still shouts and noises in the distance, and police whistles echoed in the sky. The police were blocking the nearby streets, and plainclothes policemen and more royal guards were rushing over.
But at least the people around the royal carriage team, the royal guards, the police at Redwich Field, the citizens of Tobesk, and the friends that Shad knew, all looked at the silver coin in Shad's hand.
The sun shone on Shade from above, he held the silver coin, and the suicide body fell in front of him. At this moment, he actually felt that this matter was full of funny feelings.
Look up at the sky, and then look at the people around you:
"Bad luck led to me being shot in the street, but since I didn't ask for much, the bad luck wasn't that bad. I just happened to not die... Fate is fair, and the manipulators don't die well... Ha~ I understand it too~"
She chuckled in his ear.
He looked down at the silver coin in his hand:
"I don't dare to control my fate anymore."
He thought to himself.
“I’m going to give more money to the Dawn Church.”
He said this, winking at Miss Beas and Dr. Schneider to indicate that he was fine, and then, amid the people's exclamations, he fell to the ground with his hands on his chest in pain, groaning:
"Oh, I have internal injuries. The bullet's impact was too..."
Xia De fell unconscious next to the suicide body, and his head hit the soft body when it fell to the ground, so he was not hurt.
Of course, the coma was fake.
The gun smoke rose into the sky, away from the noisy and chaotic streets. Although Tobysk was still shrouded in gray mist today, it was particularly lively.
