Anna slowly walked to the man and woman on the riverbank. Only when she got close enough did she see the appearance of the man and woman clearly.
A very young man and woman.
When they turned around and looked at Anna, she said subconsciously, "Did you … save me?"
But when she finished this sentence, she immediately paused with a surprised look on her face — Anna found that her voice was like the sound of wind through the broken glass.
Hoarse, broken, and some of the syllables were even directly distorted into unknown sounds.
She subconsciously reached out her hand to touch her throat.
"I, I, I …" Anna tried hard to make herself complete, but it didn't seem to work.
Finally, she heard the answer that made her feel unimaginable.
"I think Miss Anna, you'd better not try." The young man with an oriental face in front of her slowly said, "Although we came immediately after hearing your call. It's a pity that you were in a bad state at that time. "
Luoqiu tried to explain in words that Anna could understand, "Let's put it this way. At that time, Miss Anna's throat had been broken and she was dying … Well, we kept you in this state for the time being."
Anna opened her mouth as if she still couldn't understand the meaning of this paragraph.
Luoqiu had to make it simpler, "That is to say, when you get rid of this state, you will immediately welcome death."
Anna didn't know what the so-called state was. But she clearly touched the state of her neck.
The bones here had been broken. If others were to look at this place, they would think that this place was very strange.
She was silent for a long time, and finally squeezed out the words with difficulty, "How … long."
Luoqiu said indifferently, "Of course not too long. The guest is in the protection mechanism of the transaction, so she can maintain this state. But if the time is too long, it will disappear automatically. Please don't misunderstand, we are not not giving you any consideration, but we need to consume a little bit to maintain your state. I think since Miss Anna has woken up, then … half an hour, is it enough for you to consider? By the way, Miss Anna will be completely dead after half an hour, so our judgment is … I'm afraid that you can't take out any more valuable transaction fee except your own soul. "
Anna fell silent after hearing this. She took a few steps forward, walked past Luoqiu and You Ye, and came to the position closest to the river.
She gazed at the night view across the river bank, lost in thought.
When there were only five minutes left, she slowly turned around and silently looked at the young man.
She still didn't speak … but having experienced such a miraculous scene, she subconsciously felt that this person might be able to understand her meaning.
The club's boss still followed his duty to guide the guests. Luoqiu said slowly, "Is this really okay? Miss Anna, what I can tell you is that what you want to ask is not something that we Anitya Hellguards can provide you. It will subtract some of the value of the transaction fee you hold — that is, it will cause a deviation in your final purchasing power. Are you sure you still feel like you need this part? "
Anna nodded in silence.
"I got it." Boss Luo said straightforwardly, "Mr. Urey was saved by us. Now he can use the power of the Typica Family, which is indeed from us."
A trace of sadness flashed in Anna's eyes. She seemed to be able to guess the final answer … but she still had a longing look.
She still chose to listen to it.
"The content of the transaction between Mr. Yuri and us is …"
Luoqiu said softly, "He hopes to gain the power of revenge. For this, he only has one month left to live. Now, there are about 27 days left. "
Anna finally closed her eyes, taking a deep breath … Her instinct, even though she clearly felt that the air was blocked at her neck after entering her respiratory tract.
This seemed to make her more uncomfortable.
However, her tear ducts were still working well … Finally, she opened her eyes again. Her gaze was completely dim under the shroud of water vapor.
In the end, she forced herself to reveal a smile that was even uglier than crying. With her hoarse, broken, and terrifying voice that sounded like that of the oldest witch, she said with a strong sense of hatred, "You … shouldn't … be … here …"
Luoqiu said indifferently, "This part of the cost has been recorded. Miss Anna, do you want to buy anything else?"
When the last 5 minutes were exhausted, Anna said with difficulty, "Let … me … see … to … the … end."
"As you wish." Luoqiu smiled, "My guest."
…
…
It was past midnight.
This was probably the most difficult night for Efim to fall asleep in recent years. Dressed in his pajamas, he sat alone in the cold living room, fiddling with the knife in his hand.
This knife was like his mascot. It had accompanied him in his rise to power, and it could even be said to have played an extremely crucial role.
He was 14 years old and killed for the first time.
He still felt uneasy.
As if it was the first time he stabbed someone with a knife when he was 14 years old. Of course, he preferred it to be because of this, rather than because of the current situation.
This made him feel that things were not under his control … It was a denial of his ability.
Efim picked up the landline next to him. After waiting for a moment, he heard a slightly tired voice.
"Old man, you seem to have contacted me the day before yesterday. So diligent, what's the matter?"
Efim said slowly, "There's a man called Victor, is he one of your men?"
"Victor?" The voice at the other end of the phone sounded surprised, asking, "He is indeed … Why, did he offend you?"
Efim said indifferently, "Nothing, but my men told me that a man called Victor caused a lot of trouble and affected a lot of business these days."
"Really …" The person at the other end of the phone sighed, "I'm afraid it's because of what happened recently. Old man, this guy is qualified to be a workaholic. Believe me, he's not against you. He just wants to find some clues like crazy. You know, the stolen painting has a great impact. I'm also under a lot of pressure. But don't worry, when this is over, I'll think of a way to deal with Victor. This guy is a thorn in the side. He's practically an arrogant guy. "
Efim suddenly said, "Oh? From what you said, it seems that you, the boss of the police station, can't deal with a small inspector? "
"I can't help it. Victor is a very senior guy, and has won a national medal. He's not a guy that can be casually cut off. Besides, I've been a little … well, a little trouble recently, I don't want to make more trouble at this time … Old man, with your connections and information channels, haven't you heard any news about this painting? I think you should be able to help me. "
Efim narrowed his eyes, smiling, "Old man, don't worry, I don't want to see your situation become worse. These two days, I'll let my men pay attention to this matter. If there's any news, I'll inform you at once. "
"Thanks a lot, old man."
"We're good partners after all."
Efim then hung up the phone. When he put down the phone, he nailed the knife in his hand to the table and sneered, "It seems that this old man is no longer useful …"
So, he picked up the phone again.
…
His wife was still in the holiday house in the suburb.
When he came back in the middle of the night, Victor talked with his wife on the phone … This was the most relaxed moment for Victor these days.
He quietly lay on the bed in his downtown apartment, looking at the ceiling … Suddenly, the phone rang.
It was a strange number.
But obviously, the voice from the phone was familiar.
"Mr. Victor, it's me."
