Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Parker's Choice

It was twilight. A faint scent of wine settled in the room, which seemed to float in the ambiguous air, forming a strange and vague atmosphere. Liu Xia gradually regained consciousness in the groggy state, and when she woke up, she felt a splitting headache, and her throat was so dry that smoke was coming out of her throat.She closed her eyes and tried to search for a cup by the bed, but accidentally touched a warm body.This shock frightened her quite a bit, when she opened her eyes to see the situation in front of her, Liu Xia's whole body froze immediately, as if her soul had been taken out of her, she was at a loss as to what to do.

God!Yesterday...what the hell happened? She and him... how could... how could... She rubbed her temples hard, trying desperately to remember every detail of last night.Bit by bit, the broken memories were reassembled and reassembled in her mind, and finally the general situation was restored. By the way, she first went into the room to drink, and then heard him talk about what happened when she was a child, and then drank again, and then he said that she would send herself back to the room, and then... Thinking of this, her heart suddenly jumped wildly. It turned out that she still had memories of everything last night.In other words, he was not drunk to the point of unconsciousness.So, at that time, was some subconscious in her heart also awake?

If so, what does that mean? No, that must not mean anything.She just underestimated the power of Russian vodka, this choking spirit can burn such an uncontrollable passion on a cold night.At that time, she was no longer her, it was just an indulgence catalyzed by alcohol. She never knew that she could fall like this. She never thought that what she cherished the most could be given to others so casually. What puzzled her even more was that she was not as regretful and annoyed as she imagined.What pervades the chest seems to be more of an emotion called bewilderment. Liu Xia stretched out his hand numbly to pick up the clothes on the ground, and suddenly heard his low voice from behind, "Liu Xia...good morning."

Her fingers trembled, and the clothes she just picked up quickly slipped from her hands. His tone was gentle as if it could melt everything, with a faint hint of apology mixed in, "Liu Xia, last night..." "I don't even remember what happened last night." Liu Xia quickly interrupted him, and covered her body with her clothes. "You don't even remember?" A faint smile flashed across his eyes, "You were the one who seduced me last night." Liu Xia was very angry, "You are talking nonsense, how could I seduce you. Anyway, you and I are adults, so just pretend that what happened last night didn't happen. I don't think you will ask me to be responsible for you. "

Perhaps because she was so angry with what he said just now, she began to speak indiscriminately, and only picked the most hurtful words to stab him. Alfonso's face really sank, "You mean, you don't care about what happened last night at all?" Liu Xia gritted her teeth, "I lost my mind last night because I was drunk. At that time, I was so drunk that I couldn't remember who was who. No matter who the other party is, the same thing might happen." After speaking, she was anxious to get out of bed and leave this place. But before her feet hit the ground, he grabbed her back mercilessly.

"The same thing could happen to anyone?" Alfonso was obviously stimulated by this sentence, and he stared at her with a sneer, "Okay, since you don't remember, then I'll help you remember. But this This time, I will definitely not be so gentle." After speaking, he kissed her lips forcefully again. No matter whether he can get the other party's response or not, he will use his own way to imprint his own mark on her body. Outside the window, the rising sun can't wait to jump out of the clouds, reflecting the sky red. The dawn of Rome has come, but the night of summer has come again.

Before you know it, winter in Rome is approaching.The grief of Romeo's death seems to be lessening as time goes by.Liu Xia continued to be imprisoned in this castle. During this period of loss of freedom, she began to try to practice painting with her left hand.Alfonso also specially invited well-known painters in the city to come to his house to give her advice.But... He hasn't touched her since the last drunken incident. During this period, Shizuka and Camilla also visited her twice.Out of a certain intuition, Liu Xia felt that Camilla seemed to have a lot on her mind.I heard that she and Professor Julio are developing very well, but she doesn't look like she is enjoying love, but more like being tortured by love.

Through them and the media, Liu Xia also learned a lot about Toto.He has performed well in the national team, and he has almost always scored the winning goal in the last few World Cup qualifiers.I believe that in a short time, he will become the hero of the whole of Italy from the hero of Rome. This news undoubtedly made Liu Xia the most joyful and encouraging. Toto's miracle has appeared, so the miracle that belongs to her ------- will also appear. No matter how rough the road is, no matter how troubled the situation is, she will keep moving forward. Because, there is still her dream ahead.

It is night and there is no moon. Compared with several other popular catacombs, the catacombs of Domitilla in the southern suburbs of Rome are too hidden and simple.Because of this, it became the best place for Alfonso to meet Parker.In the dark tomb, the faint candlelight swayed like a will-o'-the-wisp, drawing strange shadows on the ancient walls, adding a bit of eerie feeling. Alfonso handed a cowhide folder to Parker, "All the information about this mission is in it. You can do it tomorrow." This kind of brown folder is very familiar to Parker.It usually contains detailed information on the target person, so as to help the killer complete the task more accurately.

If Romeo is still here, he will definitely volunteer to take up this task, and he will complete it quite well.Thinking of this, Parker couldn't help feeling sad, and then looked up at Alfonso. The other party seemed to have thought of this, and his expression also became gloomy. "What? The commission this time is from abroad?" Parker saw the red circular mark in the upper right corner of the folder.This mark often represents a commission from abroad, and usually the remuneration charged will be relatively high.But as EE promises, as long as the guests pay, no matter where in the world their enemies are, they will die.

"Yes, the client this time is from Japan." Alfonso replied casually. "Japan? Boss, have you read the information inside?" Parker asked as he opened the folder.When his gaze fell on one of the photos, his mind exploded with a bang, and he froze in place, unable to move. "You should know the rules. I never read the information inside. The Japanese client this time is quite powerful, and the compensation they paid is also astronomical. I believe that if this task is completed, it will also help EE's morale." Alfonso looked at him, as if aware of the other party's gaffe, "What? Do you have any questions?" "No...no." Parker responded in a low voice, and after hastily flipping through the documents, he returned them together with the folder to Alfonso, "I don't need this anymore. I will do my best." A dusk two days later. The golden afterglow of the setting sun reflects the ancient buildings and modern buildings, outlining the gentle and beautiful scenery of the city of Rome.The Amor bar in the west of the city, which combines baroque, neoclassical and modern styles, is the most frequent meeting place for Shizuka and Parker. Shizuka dresses up carefully before every date with Parker, and today is no exception.When Shizuka appeared in front of Parker wearing a lake blue dress, she was not surprised to see the tenderness in her lover's eyes. "Very beautiful, Shizuka." Parker bowed his head and kissed her forehead, then gently stroked her hair, "This color suits you very well." "Thank you. I thought about making this color into a wedding dress. It must be very special." Shizuka laughed happily.I don't know if she is too sensitive, but today's Parker seems a little different from usual.If it was in the past, he would never take the initiative to kiss her in a bar like a public. He's always been that way.Never say superfluous words, never do superfluous things.Even in love, she rarely heard more sweet words from him. Perhaps for women, such a man is a bit too boring. "Shizuka, where do you want to go tonight?" Parker rarely showed a doting look, "I will accompany you wherever you want to go." Shizuka's face was slightly touched, as if she wanted to say something, but hesitated whether to say it or not. "Parker, there is something I've always wanted to tell you." She finally made up her mind and said, "Actually, I already had a marriage contract with someone else in Japan. The other party and my family are family friends, so after my coming-of-age ceremony, both parents This marriage was arranged for us. Before that, I only saw him a few times when I was a child, and I can't even remember what he looks like." There was no expression on Parker's solemn face like a cold moon, as if he was waiting for her next words. "It has always been my dream to come to Rome to study art, so the other party agreed to wait for me to finish my courses here before going back to get married." Shizuka carefully observed the changes in Parker's expression, "But I met you...so...I regret it Yes. Since I was a child, my fate has always been at the mercy of others. Only when I am with you can I experience the joy of freedom. So, this time I want to decide my own destiny." Parker stared at her intently, with an unreadable sadness in his amber eyes. "Shizuka, I'm afraid you can't continue studying art here." Shizuka was slightly taken aback, and was shocked to see that he quickly pulled out the pistol, and at the same time threw her to the ground with lightning speed! "Bang!" A bullet shot from nowhere quickly penetrated the glass cabinet in the bar, and with a bang, the glass cabinet and the wine bottles placed inside immediately shattered to the ground, and the aroma of wine immediately overflowed. Shizuka raised her head in shock, and immediately discovered a fact that made her even more terrified. If Parker hadn't opened her, I'm afraid it wasn't the wine bottle in the cabinet that was broken, but her head. "Shizuka, get in the car!" Parker quickly pulled her up, using the fleeing crowd as a cover, quickly moved to the parking place outside the door, and got into his car.If he didn't make a mistake in his judgment, there should be a sniper master lurking in the direction of 9 o'clock on the next floor, and the goal is also very clear, which is to kill Shizuka. He didn't think about it any more, and rushed forward as soon as he stepped on the gas pedal of the car... "Parker, what's going on here? Why did someone want to kill you?" Shizuka was also at a loss by this sudden incident, but even as smart as she was, she could only guess that it might be revenge between gangsters. "The person they want to kill is not me, but you." Parker's answer shocked Shizuka.Her pupils constricted suddenly, and she asked several times, "Is it me? You said they were going to kill me? What's going on here?" "Someone commissioned EE to assassinate you with a lot of money." He didn't want to hide it from her. "Who is going to kill me?" Shizuka shook her head in disbelief, "Have you hated me to this extent?" "This time the client is entrusted through an agent, and we don't know his specific identity. What's more, the organization cannot disclose the client's information. But from what you said just now, I think the client this time should be Ximen Temple People in the family. Perhaps, it is the young master of Ximen Temple himself. But the killer just now is clearly a member of another gang, so the only possibility is that the client entrusted people from two gangs to assassinate you at the same time." After finishing speaking, he forcefully After turning the steering wheel, the car crossed a fork and sped towards the outskirts of Rome. After being shocked, Shizuka calmed down slowly, and laughed at herself, "Ximen Temple... so this is the so-called famous family... Then Parker, the person your organization sent to kill me is you, right?" The car galloped forward at full speed as if it had grown wings, and the scenery flowing outside the car window kept flashing like pressing the shutter, which made people feel a tense and rapid rhythm. Parker was silent for a while, "I came today to take you out of here." "Leave here?" Shizuka was stunned, "So that's what you mean when you say I can't continue studying in Rome?" At this time, in Alfonso's castle. As usual, Liu Xia was looking for old edition painting books in Alfonso's study.When she accidentally found a heavy history book, she suddenly wanted to open it on a whim.Unexpectedly, after flipping through the pages, a cowhide folder fell out from the interlayer of the pages. The previous curiosity had made her suffer a lot, so Liu Xia didn't have the idea of ​​peeking.But because the folder was not sealed, half of the photos were looming through the opening when it fell to the ground.Liu Xia was about to put the photo back in place, when she suddenly found a hairpin that was exposed very familiar, so she hastily pulled out the photo, and was naturally taken aback when she saw it---strange!Why are Shizuka's photos here? "Liu Xia, have you found the book you want?" Alfonso's voice suddenly came from behind. Liu Xia turned around as if frightened, and handed the folder and photos to Alfonso, with a slightly trembling voice, "What... what does this mean?" Alfonso also seemed a little surprised when he glanced at the photo, and blurted out, "So the target person this time is your classmate?" When Shizuka and Camilla came to visit Liuxia, they also had a fight with Alfonso face to face. "What... the target person? What do you mean! What did you do to her!" Liu Xia's emotions began to agitate. "Someone from Japan commissioned us to assassinate her." Alfonso didn't want to hide it from her. "I handed this matter over to Parker. But I didn't see this folder beforehand, so I didn't know it was you." friend." "Assassination?" Liu Xia felt dizzy for a while, and hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Please, Alfonso, let Parker stop this operation immediately! Shizuka is my good friend, please let her go!" " Alfonso stared into her eyes, "I understand your feelings, but if this commission is not completed, it will have a great impact on EE's reputation." "I don't care about reputation or not. How can I talk about reputation if I kill someone..." Liu Xia's eyes turned red all of a sudden, "I just don't want my friends to leave me, and I don't want my friends to be hurt. I have already lost Romeo , I don't want to lose Shizuka again..." "Liuxia... will losing Shizuka make you so sad?" Alfonso's eyes flashed a hint of distress. "Yes! I will be sad! Why, the people I want to cherish will leave one by one, and the time I want to cherish will pass away bit by bit. Is it true that nothing can be kept in life? Is it really so difficult to keep Is it?" Liu Xia lost control of her emotions, and she couldn't hold back her tears. "Liuxia..." Alfonso sighed softly, "Okay, I'll call Parker right away and tell him to stop immediately." Hearing this sentence, Liu Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered a thank you. Alfonso dialed Parker's number on his mobile phone, but for some reason, the signal failed when he called. Seeing this scene, Liu Xia's heart that had just let go was picked up again, and she wished she could fly to Parker immediately to stop him.In the end, it was Alfonso who remembered that Parker had a satellite positioning system in his mobile phone, so he immediately took her out and went directly to them. At the moment in the suburbs of Rome, Parker and Shizuka are still looking for a way out in the heavy pursuit.When he was about to drive into the mountain, Parker looked at the rearview mirror and frowned, "Those people actually caught up. We have to find a way to get rid of them." "Who are those people? Could it be someone from your organization?" Shizuka's face was a little uneasy. "Absolutely not. The boss will not send someone to follow me... But the sniper just now was also very calm, and it seems that he should also come from a powerful gang. Mirant, maybe it has something to do with him." Parker guessed. At this moment, someone in the following car started shooting with a gun.Parker lowered Shizuka's head and accelerated forward.A series of flaming bullets chased them like a demon in hell, scraping the roof of the car, flying past the window, and one of the shots just blew out the left front tire of the car!Hearing a harsh brake sound, Parker tried his best to restrain the car from losing control, turning it around and barely stopping on one side. "Shizuka, get out of the car quickly and go up the mountain!" Parker said as he pulled her out of the car, and at the same time swiftly raised his gun to shoot back at the other party.As expected, he was indeed a professional killer. The bullets he fired were almost exhausted, and several people had been knocked down in the blink of an eye. When they retreated to the top of the mountain, those who pursued them were almost wiped out, but Parker's bullets were almost exhausted, leaving only the last one. "Shizuka, don't be afraid. We will be fine." He noticed that Shizuka's hand was icy cold, and the fingertips held by him seemed to be still trembling slightly.It's no wonder, after all, this is not a drama in a movie, but more real cruelty than reality. Shizuka nodded, her bright eyes showed no fear, "With you by my side, I'm not afraid at all." Yes, she is not afraid.Because this man who desperately protects her is the most correct choice in her life. When they were about to go down the mountain from another road, the only remaining killer suddenly appeared from the grass!Without any explanation, he pulled the trigger on them. "Shizuka, be careful!" Parker pushed Shizuka away, and at the same time calmly raised his gun to aim at the killer, and fired the last bullet with great firmness! "Fight!" The bullet passed through the chest accurately, and the killer fell heavily to the ground while clutching his chest.The moment he fell down, he suddenly took out a strange object from his pocket, and pressed it down with all his strength! "Oops, he has a bomb!" Parker growled, grabbed Shizuka's hand, and pressed her tightly under his body. "Boom!" There was only a loud noise, and the bomb exploded in the air, and the huge shock wave knocked the two of them off the cliff together. Fortunately, Shizuka caught a tree vine very quickly and did not fall to the cliff. end.And her other hand desperately grabbed Parker's wrist, preventing him from falling. "Parker, where are you injured? Is it serious?" Shizuka saw the blood slowly oozing from his clothes, like a flirtatious and dangerous flower blooming, she couldn't help being horrified. "I'm fine, just scratched by debris from the explosion. How about you, Shizuka?" His voice sounded concerned. "I'm fine..." Because Shizuka was still bearing Parker's weight, she soon lost her strength.But she still clung to her hope, "There will be rescuers coming soon, and we will be saved soon, Parker!" But the reality was worse than she imagined. The vine seemed to be unable to support the weight of the two of them... "Creak..." Suddenly there was a frightening voice from above, like the last warning from the vines.Shizuka looked down at the bottom of the cliff, feeling dizzy for a while. "Shizuka, listen to me, if this continues, the vines will break, and both of us will die." Parker looked at her calmly, "Be obedient, let go of my hand immediately." Shizuka's tears welled up all at once, but she grabbed his wrist even more tightly, as if they were already connected by flesh and blood. "Don't let it go, I will never let it go. Even if we die, we will die together." She choked up and shook her head, big and big tears dripped down uncontrollably, one drop fell on Parker's face, Flowed down his cheek and into his mouth. Very salty and bitter. Just like his mood at the moment. "Shizuka, I won't let you die with me." His tone became a little out of control due to anxiety, "Let go of my hand immediately, do you hear?" "Don't! Don't! I don't want to!" Shizuka's tears rushed out like crazy, "Parker, don't give up hope so easily? Maybe just wait a minute or two, and someone will come to rescue us. Don't force I did such a cruel thing, please!" An unspeakable sadness welled up in Parker's heart, which made him almost unable to breathe in pain. If there is still hope, how could he ask her to do such a cruel thing.But the tree vines bearing the weight of the two of them had reached their limit, and it might break in a few minutes... In this case, both of them would die.But if it only bears her weight, the vine should still be able to support it for several hours. Time is running out. He must make a final choice. Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his face and looked at her almost greedily.Because he knew that after this moment, he would never be able to see this familiar face again. "Shizuka, promise me that you will live a good life." With his other hand, he drew out the Awaji that never left his body, and cut it towards his wrist without hesitation! Live well, Shizuka.Even though, he is no longer here. The sharp blade drew a silver arc in the air, and Parker's body fell down the cliff like a kite with a broken string.Brown hair brushed against his cheek, bringing a slight tenderness.The wind whistled past his ears, swallowing all his consciousness, and what finally flashed before his eyes were those unforgettable memories. I really want to kiss your cheek softly again, I really don't want to let go of your hand and let you be alone. Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine. As the songs of Casablanca say, Meeting you in Amor was the luckiest moment in my life. Even though I never said any sweet words, even before the farewell, it was too late to say I love you, But as long as I can protect you, that's enough... As long as you can keep smiling, that's enough... As long as you can survive, that's enough... Protecting you is my constant choice in this life. Shizuka, in the next life, don't forget, remember to go into the Amor that belongs to you and me. Shizuka still held Parker's broken right hand tightly, and there was still a reassuring warmth there.The moment she saw him cut off her right hand, her eyes were blurred by the splash of dark red blood, and a strange sound came from the deepest part of her heart. It must have been her broken heart. When he fell off the cliff, she really had the urge to just jump down with him... "Jingxiang, promise me to live a good life." These were the last words he said to her.This was his last request to her. Throwing away life, throwing away everything, just to let her live. How could she live up to his painstaking efforts, how could she trample on his sacrifice willfully. "I'll live. I'll live. I'll definitely live..." She tightly grasped the life-saving vine with her hands, and she couldn't stop her tears. Sad, what kind of sad, hurt, what kind of hurt.The pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow spread rapidly with the blood, like waves hitting the shore, sweeping every cell in the body wave after wave. After an unknown amount of time, she vaguely heard someone calling her name, and she raised her head up amidst tears in her eyes, and heard the other party's joyful voice, "It's Shizuka! Alfonso, Shizuka is here!" When she recognized Liu Xia as the owner of that voice, she burst into tears again. Parker, did you see that?She must be able to live well. Together with him, live together.
