Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 130: If He Were To Die Part 1

The North side is mostly made up of industrial areas. Offices, warehouses, factories surround sparse areas of woods. It's just past 7 am. The area is brightly lit and it's filled with people. Seeing police cars and officers by the entrance, the workers are shocked and stand far away while looking at them.

Jungkook's car drives through the entrance gate and is met by other criminal investigators from the local station, "We've found him. He's just inside the storage room in the back and is fine right now. We have dispersed the people in the area and sealed it off with police tape."

Jungkook nods. He turns around and sees Lalisa getting out of the car. Her eyes are still a bit red, but she has stopped crying. Her face is expressionless and her eyes are still like a puppet. She's not looking at anyone. She runs toward the direction of where Bambam is.

Jungkook chases after her. He makes it to her side quickly and runs with her without a word.

They make it past the yellow tape and see the door to the small storage roon open from far away. Two officers are standing on each side of the door. The moment they see them, they show relief, "You're here, you're here!"

Lalisa pants slightly as she rushes to the door. She spots Bambam sitting inside right away; just like how he was in the video. His eyes open wide as he sees them, "Lisa, Leader, why are you......"

Bambam looks as if he's about to cry; it's hard to tell whether it's because he's happy or sad. Lalisa stares at him. She finally feels a bit of warmth and comfort after going through the feeling of torture during the whole ride. But a bigger feeling of pain and sadness drowns her heart quietly.

Jungkook watches their expressions and can only feel pain rushing inside his chest; it's hard to suppress. But his voice is cold and calm, "Disable the bomb immediately."

"Mm," Lalisa squats in front of Bambam immediately and looks down at the bomb tied to the front of his chest.

The central display shows: 04:49.

They were rushing against time in the car just now, so Lalisa didn't take a thorough look at the scanner. She can examine it closely now: below the digital timer, there's a fingerprint scanner much like the ones used at workplaces to log time, but it's a lot smaller and more intricate. On the left is a very small transparent scanner with a subtle blue light underneath it. On the right is a numeric keypad with 0 to 9 keys.

Lalisa is stunned. She has no time to think, so she reaches out her fourth finger and looks up at Bambam. Bambam nods toward her. Jungkook is also squatting beside the two of them. He reaches out his hand to hold her shoulder as they stare at the scanner.

Lalisa places her finger on it.

The blue light flashes.

04:42.

The counter stops.

They even hear a few "snaps"; the explosives that are tied to Bambam's body release themselves, unbuckling their restraints from him.

Bambam's face is drawing a blank. It's as if he hasn't fully understood what has been going on and he has already been pulled back from hell's gate. Jungkook helps him untie the explosives and ropes right away. He signals the criminal investigators who have been on standby outside to carry the stretcher over.

Lalisa is showing a smile on her face, but she falls on her bum as she loses all of her energy and is unable to move.

In the next second, somebody pulls her up again.

Jungkook grabs her arm and his pitch black eyes are firm and dark like a bottomless ocean, "Let's go!"

They exchange glances and Lalisa scrambles to get up.
