Chapter 12

There was a small gap.To make matters worse, the wind is still too strong. Under the action of the wind, Gotze is still falling below and swinging non-stop, which will aggravate the expansion of the gap.That rope, strong as it is, cannot withstand such damage, and it will snap.

While still overwhelmed by the odds of this happening and how it actually happened, Neuer knew he had little time to lose.

"Hold on! I'm thinking of a way!" Neuer shouted down while thinking quickly.Gotze was two stories high from the ground, without any buffer underneath.It is not enough time to call 112, maybe the rope has been broken by the time the firefighters come.

Neuer did a quick check of the rope to make sure it was secure enough at the fixed end.Then he let the rope out a little more, then reached out and grabbed the slack top half of the rope and tried to shake it from where it was hanging.

But the attempt didn't work, the rope hung too tight, and he was pretty sure he'd just seen Götze sink a little further.

"The rope is about to break!" Gotze shouted.

This time Neuer finally heard clearly, but it didn't help him solve the problem.The rain was getting heavier, and he tried again, but it still didn't work, and finally he decided to go down and unhook himself.

"Hold on, I'll go down and let go of that place now!" Neuer yelled at Gotze.

"do not--"

However, Goetze could not finish the sentence.Just as Neuer turned around to prepare, he clearly heard Gotze below uttered a scream.

Neuer's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he hurried to the edge of the roof to look down.Sure enough, the rope had completely snapped, and Gotze fell and lay motionless on the ground.

"God!" Neuer yelled, and ran downstairs.

One minute later, he came to Gotze and quickly took off his coat to protect his head from the rain.But he didn't dare to move him, because he was afraid that Gotze would have a fracture when he fell, and if he moved rashly at this time, it would only make the fracture worse, so he could only tremble and stretch out his hand to sniff.

have breath.

Neuer felt relieved, but was soon seized by new fears at the thought of the possible consequences of the fall and impact.He quickly took out his mobile phone and called 112 for emergency treatment. He tried his best to control his trembling voice, and accurately described his location and current situation to the operator.

After doing this, he stopped and looked at Gotze lying on the ground, his mind went blank for a moment.

"Mario," he tried to call him, "wake up..."

Gotze remained silent.Although the height of two floors is not fatal, Neuer cannot guarantee that Gotze is really not in danger, especially he cannot be sure whether Gotze hurt his head when he fell.

Neuer immediately untied Gotze's neckline, trying to keep him breathing smoothly, then took off his watch, pinched the pin on the strap in his hand, and stabbed it into his body.The point of the pin isn't very sharp, but Neuer hopes that will do the trick.

Fortunately, after he stabbed hard, Gotze finally slowly opened his eyes.

"Manu..." He opened his mouth and called Neuer's name.

"Where did you hit the ground when you fell? Limbs? Back? Or..."

"It's the leg..." Goetze whispered, and Neuer had to bend over to hear him. "Manu, I think my leg is broken..."

Neuer took a look at Gotze's leg. The right leg is normal, but the way the left leg is spread on the ground is very unnatural.He nodded and continued to ask: "Is there any other place? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Gotze shook his head slightly, as if feeling dizzy, he stopped immediately.

"My head is a little dizzy..." he said honestly.

Neuer's heart sank a little more.He asked a few questions just now, and Gotze could answer them very clearly, which relieved him a little, but he was dizzy...there were too many uncertainties that could be caused by this.

"I've called 112," Neuer said. "They'll be here soon, but in the meantime try to stay sane. Promise me you will, okay?"

Gotze closed his eyes in agreement, then said, "Manu, you owe me your life...you remember..."

"Okay, I owe you my life." Neuer replied seriously.

Gotze tried his best to smile and comfort him: "Don't worry, I've broken a bone before...it's no big deal...this kind of pain can't beat me..."

"You're a strong man, Mario. Hang in there and keep talking to me."

"Manu, don't blame yourself too much... This matter is not your responsibility... What I just said was a joke, don't take it seriously..."

"No, I do owe you my life." Neuer said with a straight face.

"Look, I'm glad you helped me find a way...and I agree to try...willing to take the risk...it's really not your responsibility..."

Neuer closed his eyes in pain and did not answer.

"Now, follow me...it's not my responsibility..."

Neuer shook his head in refusal.

"Say it quickly! Otherwise, I'll fall asleep..." Gotze still insisted.

"It's not entirely my responsibility." Neuer opened his eyes, looked at him and said word by word.

Gotze sighed, knowing he couldn't ask for more.He wanted to alleviate Neuer's guilt, because this incident is a very small probability event, and it is very unfair for Neuer to bear these.But he couldn't find a way to let Neuer let go of this psychological burden, maybe it will take a while...

The rain seems to be a little lighter, after all, thunderstorms are always fierce but cannot last.Gotze glanced up at the coat above his head, where Neuer was propping it up with his arms outstretched to keep his head from the rain.The coat was already wet, but thanks to it Gotze's nose and mouth were protected from the rain.And Neuer has actually maintained this posture for a long time.

But thankfully, the sound of the ambulance was getting closer.

The dazzling headlights flickered, and a large group of people quickly ran down from the car. They shouted something loudly, but Gotze couldn't hear clearly.After listening to Neuer's general description of Gotze's injury, the medical staff trained to immobilize his injured leg.As he was loaded onto the stretcher, Neuer was still reminding them to keep an eye on his head.

"Manu, thank you," he said to Neuer before being loaded into the ambulance.

He was then wheeled into an ambulance and put on an oxygen mask.Gotze looked at the ceiling of the ambulance, and found that the light was becoming more and more blurred and farther away... Then he closed his eyes, and finally passed out with confidence.

Chapter 9

Gotze knew where he was without opening his eyes.

He distinctly remembered being carried into the ambulance.But knowing where he is doesn't help him now, because the moment he wakes up, he's surrounded by a huge void.

This feeling is very strange.

But he soon understood.A person who has not experienced what Gotze experienced cannot understand it as quickly as he did. In fact, it is impossible for anyone who has not experienced these experiences to understand what this terrible feeling of emptiness is.

It dawned on Gotze—as if someone had yelled it in his ear—that this uncomfortable void was because the other Mario wasn't there, he couldn't feel his presence.

A sudden terror seized him.

He felt his hands and feet were cold, and the chill gradually began to climb up from his limbs.

For so long, he has never noticed this possibility.He always thought that as long as he could go back, this body could be returned to Mario intact, but he never thought about why their two independent consciousnesses could coexist for so long, nor did he think about whether one of them It is being gradually weakened under the action of force majeure.If he could think of it, maybe he would have acted earlier... and now... is it too late?

Gotze tried to keep himself calm, and tried to get back to the depths of his subconscious - although it was very difficult in this situation - he began to outline the familiar staircase in his mind while taking a deep breath.

Level one... Level two... He waited as patiently as he could, and didn't rush himself out of impatience.

Now he could see the stairs.

So Gotze didn't wait any longer, and rushed down from the top of the stairs.

However, what was waiting at the bottom of the stairs was not the expected meadow, but another thing he was familiar with—sea water.The sea water at the end of the gravel road had risen, covering the fork he wanted to go to, the holly groves and flowering creepers he had seen, and even the last step of his steps.

He shouted Mario's name loudly, but only the waves responded to him with a rigid frequency.

How could this be?

Gotze stood on the second step and tried to wade down the stairs, but the water refused.The moment he touched the sea, the stairs suddenly disappeared, and the surging waves involuntarily rolled him up and threw him fiercely into the air.

Gotze woke up with a scream.

Panting heavily, he sat up, drenched in cold sweat, his hair clung to his face, looking as if he had just run a marathon.

The door of the ward was quickly pushed open, and Royce ran in with a look of horror.

"Sunny, are you okay?" His eyes were full of worry.

"I'm fine..." Gotze replied panting, "I just made a
