December 23, 2021.
London.
The street outside the headquarters of Barclays Bank.
A middle-aged man with gray hair walked out of the bank gate, surrounded by a group of men in black suits. The Mercedes-Benz by the roadside had its doors open, and several security guards stood at key positions, eyeing the surroundings.
The middle-aged man walked towards the car, muttering to his deputy beside him quickly, "Tell those vampires in the fund that if they don't act, we will take the initiative. This is a feast. I don't care about any crisis. A projected profit of ten billion is worth it even if I have to go to hell..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang! The middle-aged man's head suddenly exploded like a watermelon!
The deputy beside him was splashed with white and red on his body and face. After a moment of stunned silence, he let out a scream!
The well-trained security guards rushed up frantically. Some with outstanding professional qualities quickly judged the trajectory of the bullet and the direction of the shooter and dashed away...
A few minutes later, in a building in the distance, the position where the shot was fired was found, and a sniper rifle set up with equipment was discovered.
"Damn it, it's remote-controlled."
In a café on a street behind the bank, a woman dressed in a leather jacket and boots slowly walked out. Her black hair and black eyes indicated her Asian descent. The woman walked to the roadside. Her S-class long legs were wrapped in knee-high leather boots. She quickly entered the alley and casually pulled out a trench coat that had been hidden behind a trash can.
After putting on the trench coat, when she walked out from the other side of the alley, she had transformed into an elegant and heroic elite, wearing a trench coat and sunglasses.
She opened the door of a Land Rover parked by the roadside, got in the car, and took out a mobile phone and a car key from inside.
The woman dialed a pre-stored number on her phone.
"Firefly reporting. The target has been eliminated. By the way, the little toy you made is not bad, but there's still a slight flaw in judging the wind speed. Improve it next time, Fox."
A woman's voice with a hoarse and Latin accent came from the phone, "Received.撤离 immediately via the prepared route." "Don't assign me such a task next time. It's just a heartless vulture in the financial world, and I even had to suspend my vacation for this. It's so boring."
The woman stretched and said, "What's my next task?"
"There's no more task. The latest order is that everyone enters the silent mode."
"Silent mode? For how long?" The woman frowned.
"…Permanently." On the other end of the phone.
The woman suddenly stepped on the brake!
The Land Rover stopped directly in the middle of the road!
"Silent mode? Permanently?" The woman's voice trembled slightly.
After a moment of silence, she couldn't control herself and shouted wildly into the phone, "Who gave the order!! I want to contact the BOSS!!"
On the other end of the phone, "It was the BOSS who gave the order, issued an hour ago. It's a recorded message from him personally."
"You're lying!! You damned Fox! You must be lying again!!" The woman roared wildly, "If you tell me such lies again, I'll kill you!!"
On the other end of the phone, the hoarse voice was very cold, "It's a pity that you don't need to do that! After all these years, you know me well, and you also know him well!"
The woman sat in the car, ignoring the cars behind her that were blocked and honking their horns frantically.
She said in a trembling voice, "Did he really... leave?"
The voice on the other side was very cold, "His last words: He hopes that we can all go to heaven in the future, and as for hell... let him go there alone, that's enough." After a pause, she continued, "Well, execute the order, Firefly! This is our last conversation, so... see you in the next life." The phone hung up, and there was a series of dial tones.
The honking of the horns behind her became more and more urgent, and the sound of police sirens in the distance was getting closer.
The woman suddenly picked up her phone and sent a message to that number.
Then she threw the phone aside, got out of the car, and stood in the middle of the road. She took out a pistol and continuously pulled the trigger towards the sky, shouting frantically, and emptied the magazine in one go!!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...
The pedestrians on the street screamed in fright and fled in all directions. The car owners who were honking their horns frantically behind her also jumped out of their cars in fear and ran away.
Moments later, a swarm of police cars arrived.
The woman, however, lit a cigarette and stood in the middle of the road.
She took a deep puff of the cigarette and then threw the butt on the ground. "Hell? I really want to see it too!"
Looking at the police cars that stopped in the distance and the police officers approaching with their guns drawn.
The woman sneered, and a silver dagger appeared in her hand.
She stabbed the dagger fiercely into her own heart!
On the mobile phone in the car, the content of the last sent message was:
Firefly, off line!
At an altitude of 20,000 feet, a special training aircraft for skydiving was flying.
Inside the cabin, a woman with short golden hair and a stunning figure listened to the last words on her phone.
"…His last message... Execute the order... See you in the next life." The blonde woman hung up the phone and slowly sat down. Her beautiful face was in a daze.
In front of her, a man who was checking the skydiving equipment stopped his actions and frowned, "What's wrong, Alice? Is there a problem? We're about to reach the scheduled skydiving location, and you don't look right. That phone call just now..."
Slap!
The blonde woman suddenly took out a gun from her bosom and slapped it in front of the man!
The man's face changed, and he jumped up with a cry of surprise.
"Sit down, Mr. Pierre." The blonde woman opened her eyes, and there was indescribable sadness in her blue eyes.
"Alice... you..."
The blonde woman took a deep breath.
Her speech was calm, and her voice was almost mechanical, "First of all, my name is not Alice. It's a fake name. My task was to get close to you, be your skydiving instructor, and then... According to the original plan, during this skydiving, I would directly kidnap you. Of course, you are very valuable."
Pierre's face turned pale, and his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, "What are you talking about? I don't understand..."
"No, you've already understood. Your pupils are dilating. You're scared."
The blonde woman shook her head, still speaking in a terrifyingly calm tone, "Mr. Pierre, to carry out this kidnapping today, we spent a month formulating the plan, and then..."
I think we can talk." Pierre stammered, "I can pay more..."
"Not necessary." The blonde woman said indifferently, "You're very lucky. Just a minute ago, I decided to cancel this task. Now, you can leave." "…Leave?" Pierre widened his eyes.
The blonde woman pointed the muzzle of the gun at the cabin door, "Pick up your parachute pack and jump by yourself."
Pierre wanted to say something more, but the blonde woman made him shut up by flicking off the gun's safety.
A minute later, Pierre, who jumped out of the cabin door with a parachute pack on his back, opened the parachute pack in mid-air.
In the cockpit of the plane, the blonde woman let out a sigh and seemed to be talking to herself, "Hell? I've always wanted to see it."
On the mobile phone beside her, there was a sent message.
"Hummingbird, off line!"
Pierre in mid-air saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life! That training aircraft suddenly rushed madly towards the distant mountain peak...
Then, there was a brilliant explosion like a firework!
In the dark room, only the computer screen was glowing.
On the screen, one by one, the avatars and names had all turned black and white.
The hands in front of the keyboard were clenched so tightly that the nails pierced the palms, and they were covered in blood!
On the screen, the last messages received in the dialog boxes behind each name all seemed very similar...
"Buffalo, off line!"
"Hummingbird, off line!"
"Blueberry, off line!"
"Iris, off line!" "…Off line!"
Off line!
Off line!!
Off line!!!
In front of the screen, a woman with an obvious Latin facial contour gritted her teeth and sneered.
Her blood-stained hands calmly took out a gun from the drawer.
One bullet after another was loaded into the magazine.
The magazine was inserted.
The safety was turned off.
Each movement was completed with extraordinary stability by these hands.
The Latin woman smiled and suddenly pointed the muzzle of the gun at her own forehead.
"Fox, off line!" Bang!
There was a gunshot.
Sometimes life is like a stream, and sometimes it's like a river.
Most of the time, drops of rain and streams will eventually flow into rivers, and then...
Finally, they rush into the sea!
Life is like this.
Just like time and space.
Just like all things in the universe!
And on the afternoon of December 23, 2000.
Chen Nuo, who had just returned to this timeline and knew nothing about that magnificent life farewell ceremony like fireworks, was now wearing an ugly and oversized blue-and-white school uniform and standing outside the classroom door.
Not surprisingly, he listened to this math class standing outside the classroom.
Even more unsurprisingly, having not touched these high school textbooks for decades in his life, he looked at the math problem on the blackboard as if it were a book from outer space.
"Alas, the world is not worth it."
Chen Nuo sighed, pretending to be worldly-weary.
There were students playing football on the playground. The young boys, sweating and full of hormones, deliberately roared and ran wildly, seemingly trying to attract the attention of the girls in this way.
From his perspective, he could just see a certain boy in the last row of the classroom hiding a Jin Yong novel under his math book.
From his perspective, he could also just see a sticker of Nicholas Tse on the pencil case of a certain girl in the first row.
Chen Nuo looked up at the sky. Although it was winter, the sunlight was still a bit blinding.
"So, God, is this a punishment or a reward for me?"
Chen Nuo smiled bitterly.
Then suddenly, a shadow fell from the sky, and his face directly collided with...
A scream came from his ear.
"Help! Someone jumped off the building!!!"
[It's not a group time-travel.]
