Ghost carefully examined the structure of the bomb, watching the time tick away on the electronic display. He was heartburned too; it wasn't just the bomb's countdown, perhaps it was Gu Xin's life countdown, and Ghost's own countdown. With such power, not even Inner Strength could fend off.
"Xin'er, relax, no matter what happens, I won't leave." Ghost urged Gu Xin to stay calm, both of them enduring the agony.
"Li, you... you must go!" Gu Xin's tears flowed freely, her voice hoarse. Due to extreme fear, she'd lost her strength. She knew there was no escape this time. At the cusp of life and death, she'd made an inner decision, absolutely unwilling to let Ghost die because of her.
"Be quiet." Ghost suddenly shouted, and the room fell silent. Five minutes had passed already, yet he was at a loss; a normal person doesn't research bomb defusal.
