His senses heightened, Jiang Hongjie could now feel Ninth Si raising his gun, lowering it, the gust of air passing him by and the danger signals. He was bombarded by all those sensations.
Ninth Si once again lowered his gun.
Jiang Hongjie instinctively dodged that blow. Using his one uninjured hand, he pulled himself along the ground, dragging his immobile legs behind him.
Si Yiyan walked slowly toward him.
Jiang Hongjie could hear his heavy army boots stepping on the dirt floor. The bits of dirt crunched, the sound created was the most dangerous signal of death.
"Stop…" Jiang Hongjie warned as he drew out his own gun and fired without hesitation toward his target.
The whistling bullet sliced through the air toward Si Yiyan.
Si Yiyan reached out and caught the flying bullet. He held it in his hand and shot a look at a shadowy corner. "You owe me one. Remember that!"
With that, he turned and left.
