Chapter 201 Conflict
Diana pointed a gun at Ying Boyi, knowing that what he said was true.
The mission at the biscuit factory had severely damaged her vitality. In order to facilitate treatment, she had to be forced to drain the water and lost her psychic power, and at the same time, she lost an arm.
Even though her physical fitness was better than that of an average person, in her current condition, in terms of combat effectiveness, she might not be as good as a civilian with healthy limbs. At most, she could be considered a tough target.
Without psychic power, she could not use psychic firearms and holy objects. Moreover, these things would be taken back by the Administration after draining the water. The only thing she could rely on was this Ruger revolver and the only six .357 Magnum bullets.
If she encountered a monster, Ying Boyi was the only one who could confront it head-on and guarantee a safe retreat.
And now, Diana encountered some trust issues. This Level 9 agent who was the only one who could protect everyone seemed to have a complicated background.
It was hard for her to believe that Ying Boyi, like herself, had drifted to this world after the subway accident.
From the conversation just now, Diana guessed that he was a resident of this world, and this was definitely not a mirror world.
"What is your purpose...?" Diana asked. Her gun never left Ying Boyi's brow.
"My purpose? Of course it's to leave here, isn't it obvious?" Ying Boyi said.
"Maybe that's the problem... Ying Boyi, maybe you don't belong to where we are going back to..." Diana said in a deep voice.
Ying Boyi looked at Diana with an unpredictable expression, and Diana was not sure what his mood was now.
Suddenly, he lowered his head and laughed, as if he heard some absurd joke. When he raised his head, his eyes revealed a hint of madness.
Diana knew the source of this madness very well. When a person suppresses his fear and despair in his heart for a long time, he will have this kind of eyes.
People have limits. Mental quality, willpower, courage... These are not inexhaustible energy. They are always consumed, and everyone's energy limit is different.
You can't solve all problems with just one sentence "Because I'm Batman!"
"What do you mean, Diana? Are you saying that I belong here?" Ying Boyi asked softly. His tone sounded weird, completely different from his usual self.
"I..." A drop of sweat slid down Diana's forehead. She knew that she had awakened the wild beast in Ying Boyi's heart.
"Yes, we belong to this hopeless world. You should really knock before you come in. Now you see it, right? See it, right?! Look at this world, look at this place!" Ying Boyi's voice became louder and louder.
Diana used a little more force on her index finger on the trigger. She was still hesitant. It was not a good choice to shoot him to death now, but she did not have the ability and opportunity to knock him unconscious...
"Ying Boyi, calm down... We don't need to make the scene like this." Diana dissuaded.
"Oh? I don't think so. It was you who made your attitude clear first, not me. Do you understand? Look, see who has the trigger!" Ying Boyi growled.
Diana was speechless.
"Silly girl... you have such low EQ... you messed up." Diana said secretly, frowning, on the one hand she blamed herself for being too impulsive, on the other hand she was worried about Chen Ke and Sam who were still outside.
"No one should stay here, the world is over, Diana, no one can save the world." Ying Boyi said, slowly approaching Diana.
"Don't get close! Stand there and don't move. Otherwise I swear I will shoot all your brains out!" Diana shouted.
"Then you try." Ying Boyi said contemptuously, his eyes full of disdain.
He walked towards Diana step by step until he stood in front of her, with the muzzle of the gun pointed straight at his forehead.
"Don't force me, you bastard... don't force me..." Diana gritted her teeth.
"You forced me first... Diana, now you are in a dilemma." Ying Boyi grinned.
He grabbed Diana's right wrist holding the gun with his left hand and squeezed it hard. Diana felt pain in her right wrist, and the nerves of her five fingers lost control. The Ruger revolver slipped from her hand and bounced twice on the ground.
Diana's left knee suddenly attacked Ying Boyi's lower body, but the opponent had already seen through the trick. Ying Boyi was close to her body, so Diana couldn't exert force.
At the same time, Ying Boyi grabbed Diana's dislocated left shoulder with his right hand, and his thumb was firmly locked into the shoulder joint.
"Well..." Diana squinted her eyes and groaned in pain.
"No one can stop me from taking my people away from here... Diana... No one can..." Ying Boyi grabbed Diana with both hands and said fiercely.
Diana was helpless now. She felt that her left shoulder was about to be removed. The pain started from the left shoulder head and ran through the whole body along the human neural network. She didn't want to move at all now, and just wanted to curl up and close her eyes.
"Wait for a beating, girl... Damn it..." Diana closed her eyes and said secretly in her heart.
She screwed up, she always screwed up, and then waited for someone to help, either Violet, Rogers, or even Baldur...
She didn't look like Wonder Woman at all.
Even with a shield and a sword, she didn't look like Wonder Woman.
At this time, a low human moan came from far away outside the window.
"Uh-oh... hum... hum..."
"Ah-ho-ho... vomit..."
"Uh-oh... woo-woo..."
At the same time, accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, the mixed sound became louder and louder. Just by listening, you can know that the number is unimaginable.
Diana didn't know what the sound was. She only knew that Ying Boyi slowly loosened his hand, and her left shoulder didn't hurt as much as before.
She opened her eyes and looked at Ying Boyi. The other party seemed to have regained consciousness. He was pale and was looking alertly in the direction of the door and the window.
The sound outside was getting louder and louder. I don't know what kind of flying thing is, humming and hovering over the hotel, but from Ying Boyi's expression, there is no doubt that it is what he is worried about.
The two of them were in a stalemate. After a minute, the sound of the group of things gradually faded away. It seemed that they didn't find prey, so they left.
Until no sound could be heard anymore, Ying Boyi breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Diana.
Diana could even hear Ying Boyi's intense heartbeat. It seemed that he was quite panicked just now.
The two fell to the floor and looked at each other. Ying Boyi seemed to have returned to normal, and the madness was no longer visible.
"Just now, I'm sorry. I lost control." Ying Boyi felt the awkward silence and apologized first.
"Don't feel guilty, Ying Boyi, you must be under a lot of pressure..." Diana shook her head and rubbed her left shoulder. The Ruger revolver was at her feet.
"I hope you can understand why I did this. Diana." Ying Boyi said.
"I understand, this is what the agents of the Administration have to do, protecting the people from psychic hazards, this is our duty... It's the same in any world." Diana said.
"No, not just an agent, Diana, but think of it this way first." Ying Boyi said.
"If you want to tell me later, tell me. But now you have to tell me what was outside just now." Diana closed her eyes and pinched her eyebrows.
"It's something that doesn't exist in the archives of the Administration, and we've seen it for the first time... I call them death knells. Do you understand, it means that you're dead when you hear the sound." Ying Boyi shook his head.
"It doesn't sound good. What happened in this world? Ying Baiyi, if you don't tell me, it will be difficult for us to cooperate." Diana said.
Ying Baiyi lowered his head and thought about it, and finally decided to tell Diana everything.
"This is a very long story, I will try to be brief..." Ying Baiyi said.
