Chapter 33 Heart
Chapter 34 Heart

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The gunshots continued, and after about a minute, they suddenly became sparse. I could hear subtle clicking sounds, proving that they were changing magazines, and two people were changing at the same time. Opportunity!
I turned around and appeared in the room. The bodyguard who was aiming at me was shocked. I guess he was surprised that the person who could kill so many of his companions was a child who looked only eight or nine years old. Seizing the moment he was stunned, I raised my hand and shot a bullet into his forehead. Without stopping, I shot another bullet into the chest of one of the two guys who was facing away from me. If nothing unexpected happened, the moment he turned around, this bullet could be sent into the heart of that guy. Then I rolled over and hid behind the table, waiting for the opportunity to kill the last person.

boom! boom! boom!
The gunshots were still raging. I was a little surprised to hear the two gunshots one after the other. Did the second bullet miss the target? Impossible. Although I was in the air when I fired the gun, I still found the angle very accurately. I took out the dagger and made a small hole on the table and looked at them. The man who was aiming at Sister Bei was still standing there, and the man who should have been shot through the heart by me was kneeling on the ground with a painful expression on his face. There was a small hole in his chest, but no blood flowed out. "Tsk. Was it blocked by something?" I frowned.

After a short interval, the gunfire stopped. Through the gap, I saw the two of them aiming their guns at our location. But they didn't shoot. They must have known that we had run out of bullets, so they were waiting for the moment when we showed our heads.

What should I do? I closed my eyes, calmed my breath, and took out the last weapon in my arms. It was the SAS dagger. Close combat with one person was fine, but with two people. It was too much effort, not to mention that they were two people with guns.

I don't know what's going on with Sister Bei. I heard a heavy breathing sound from the beginning. It doesn't sound like the bodyguard I just injured, but more like Sister Bei's breathing in the distance. Is she injured?

There was no time to think. I took off my windbreaker and threw it to the right. The moment the bodyguard was attracted by my windbreaker, I jumped up from the left and threw the dagger in my hand out fiercely.

puff!
The sound of a sharp blade piercing through flesh rang out, and my dagger pierced his chest smoothly. Because there was something blocking his heart, I threw the dagger at his right chest. Seeing him collapse limply on the ground, I did not stop. I quickly ran towards the last person.

"Sister Bei!" I shouted as I ran. The last bodyguard turned around and pointed his gun at me. Sister Bei also understood what I meant. After hearing what I said, she appeared from behind a bronze statue in the basement and quickly shot a Mini Browning at the bodyguard.

boom!
After all, a pistol is not a dagger, and it flies much slower. This also gave the bodyguard a chance to shoot. But at the moment he pulled the trigger, I jumped to the right reflexively. The bullet grazed my cheek and left a bloody mark. Without stopping, I continued to run forward. The pistol thrown by Sister Bei had hit the back of the man's head. At the moment he staggered. I jumped up and grabbed his wrist holding the gun and twisted it hard.

Click!
It was like a twig snapping. Without giving him a chance to scream, I snatched the gun from his hand and pointed it at his forehead.

boom! ! !
————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"Huh..." After knocking down the last person, I took a deep breath and then ran towards Vermouth.

"Sister Bei, are you okay?" I ran to her side and asked with concern. Belmode's face was a little pale, and her breathing was heavy, it seemed that she was really injured.

"Ah. Still alive. Haha." Vermouth pressed her left hand on her right shoulder. A small hole appeared on her tight leather jacket. Red blood kept oozing out. I took out the tie that Jingliu had prepared for me from my trouser pocket. I tied a simple knot around Vermouth's arm and tightened it. It was an emergency tourniquet.

"Can you still walk?" I asked Vermouth while pulling at my tie.

"Yeah. Okay. Haha, thank you Bing. If it weren't for you, I might really be stuck here today." Vermouth looked at me with a forced smile.

"Hehe. I told you I would protect Sister Bei." I grinned at Vermouth, showing my little white teeth.

"Haha. But I really didn't expect that you would have such skills after only two years of training. Are you sure you are only nine years old?" Vermouth looked at me with confusion.

"Um... maybe it's because I have a better talent." I was ashamed. I am indeed nine years old now. But nine years ago I was already a legendary killer. "Hehe. Let's not talk about this. Sister Bei, why did this mission fail?" I put away my smiling face and asked with a frown.

"I don't know." Vermouth sat on the ground and took a deep breath. "I had no problems during the infiltration. But just when I got the gem, the alarm suddenly sounded. And then soon a dozen people blocked me here. Even if there was an alarm, their speed could not have been so fast." Leaning against the bronze statue, Vermouth closed her eyes and thought.

"That is to say... we were exposed before this operation?" My face was a little solemn. In this case, there is only one reason for this failure. Someone exposed our whereabouts when we accepted the mission. Whether it was a hacker who hacked into the mission list or a traitor in our organization. This is not a small matter and must be dealt with seriously.

"Yeah. I think so." Vermouth's tone became serious. She should be thinking the same thing as me.

"Anyway, the mission is accomplished now. Let's go back first, Sister Bei. By the way, let me see the gem. I can't risk my life without even seeing the target." I returned to my usual smiling look and said to Vermouth.

"Haha. You." Vermouth was also amused by me. "The gem is in my leather jacket, take it yourself. I have no strength left."

"Uh..." The corner of my mouth twitched. "Well, let's talk about this when we get back." Of course, we have to talk about it when we get back. If I want to take out the gemstone, I have to pull open Vermouth's tight leather jacket, which means I will see her naked. I dare not do this dangerous action.

"Huh? Hehe. Hahaha. Ah. It hurts." Vermouth laughed happily at my embarrassed look, and stopped only after pulling the wound. "Hehe, Bing, you are so cute." Vermouth smiled at me with one eye closed and endured the pain.

"Um. That, Sister Bei. I'd better help you up first... Hmm? Dangerous!!"

Before I could finish my words, I felt a dangerous aura coming, and instinctively pounced towards Vermouth.

boom! ! !
The piercing sound of gunfire filled the room that had just been quiet. Behind me, a bodyguard in black opened fire on us, and the dagger I had just thrown was still stuck in the right chest of the bodyguard. Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three more gunshots. But this time it was Sister Bei who fired. She took the gun I had just snatched from me and fired three shots at the bodyguard who was still alive, all in the head. The blood instantly stained the carpet red.

After making sure that the man was dead, Vermouth looked down at me who was still lying in her arms. Her eyes instantly became panicked. "Bing! Are you okay? Bing! Answer me." Vermouth shook my body. She saw clearly. On my back, a small gun muzzle was gushing out blood, and the hole was located on the left side of my chest. That is where my heart is!
"Heh... Heh... Sister Bei... Cough... Cough..." I looked at her with a pale face. "Sure enough... I am still... too small... The dagger... didn't... penetrate... his... lungs. Cough cough cough..." Blood had already choked into my trachea, and every time I coughed, I would cough up a mouthful of blood.

"Bing. Stop talking! Just hold on. I'll take you back to the organization's hospital right away!" As she said that, Vermouth didn't even care about the wound on her shoulder and ran out holding me in her arms.

"Ahem... Miss... Miss..." I said weakly. "Take me... back... to find Jingliu... She... is my... doctor..."

"I know. Bing! I know. Stop talking!" Vermouth shouted at me anxiously. Soon, Vermouth took me back to the car, stepped on the accelerator, and the yellow Ferrari shuttled on the road like a golden ghost in the dark night.

My eyelids feel heavy. Is it because I lost too much blood? I start to feel sleepy.

"Bing! Can't sleep! Wake up!" Vermouth's right shoulder was injured, and she was holding the steering wheel with her left hand. Her right hand had not moved since it switched the car to automatic gear. So even if she wanted to pat my face, she couldn't do it.

"Hehe... It's okay... Sister Bei... I'm just a little sleepy... Let me sleep... for a while... It's okay..." As I said that, my eyelids became heavier and heavier. Excessive blood loss has left me with no strength at all. Just like that. I slowly closed my eyes amid Vermouth's screams.

. . . . . .

The light is so bright. Where is this? A hospital? Why am I in a hospital? Oh, right. I was injured while on a mission with Vermouth.

When I woke up, I was already wearing a hospital gown and lying on a bed in the organization's hospital. The white light made me feel that I was still alive. Oh, right. I remember that I asked Jingliu to treat me. Where is she? I sat up. The traction of my body made me cough again.

"Bing..." A soft voice came into my ears. It was the voice of Jingliu.

"Ah. Sister Jingliu, you are here. Wow... Be gentle... It hurts..." Before I could finish my words, Jingliu rushed towards me and threw herself into my arms.

"That's great. Bing...you're okay. It's really great..." Jingliu cried loudly in my arms.

"Okay, okay. I'm here. And you performed the surgery on me. You know my physical condition best." I rubbed her hair to comfort her.

"But...but...wuwah..." Jingliu hugged me, tears still flowing.

"Be good, be good. Don't cry. If you cry again, I won't give you candy." I smiled faintly. I remember using this sentence a long time ago. It still works well now.

"Haha. Hateful." Jingliu burst into laughter. She hit my head coquettishly. "Hateful, Bing, you lied to me again. Didn't you say you would come back safely? Why did Vermouth carry you back while you were unconscious?"

"Be gentle, Sister Jingliu, it hurts." I held my head and squinted my eyes and said to Jingliu. "It was nothing. But there was a small problem during the mission. Let's not talk about this for now. Who else could perform the operation on me besides you?" I suddenly looked at Jingliu seriously.

"No. I told Vermouth that I would do the operation alone. Only Marissa was by my side as my assistant. Vermouth was also shocked when she heard that. After all, the bullet went through your heart." Jingliu wiped the tears from her eyes and said to me. "Because there are only a few people you can trust in this organization. So I asked Marissa to be my assistant as an intern."

"In other words, besides you, is Mary the only one who knows that my heart is on the right side?" I lowered my voice and whispered to Jingliu. Yes. My heart is on the right side. This is what Jingliu told me when I joined the organization. Fortunately, Jingliu was a little bit more cautious and did not report it to Gin at that time. Otherwise, I would have lost this most life-saving trump card.

"No, I don't think she knows." Jingliu thought for a moment and said to me. "After all, she has just started studying medicine, and I didn't let her get close to your body during the entire operation. I just asked her to get the scalpel and surgical scissors for me." Jingliu also lowered his voice.

"Is that so? Hehehe, well done, Sister Jingliu." I returned to my original tone and smiled at her, baring my little white teeth.

"Of course. You specifically told me not to tell anyone. I certainly wouldn't tell anyone." After I passed the organization's test, I stayed in the hospital for a week. At that time, I asked Jingliu if anyone knew that my heart was on the right side. Jingliu told me that she was the only one who took care of me, so she was the only one who knew. I thought that if anyone else knew about my heart, I would have to kill them. But fortunately, Jingliu was the only one who performed the operation, so this trump card was saved.

"But. Bing. I haven't informed Vermouth yet, what should I do?" Jingliu lowered his voice again and looked at me worriedly.

"I can't help it. Tell others that I'm recovering from my injuries, and don't tell them where I'm injured. If Sister Bei asks, just let her come to see me alone. I'll explain to her naturally." I frowned and whispered. I guess I can't hide it from Sister Bei anymore. I have no choice but to take a gamble.
