Chapter 168: The Shocking Kidnapping Case (7)
"Doctor, there's a problem at the prison."
"What happened?"
"The task force came to support earlier than expected, but Jin Xin successfully escaped from his cell and is now heading our way."
"Oh."
Love nodded, seemingly unsurprised by this outcome.
Gu Yi, unaffected by his psychological suggestions, could maintain a clear mind and quickly analyze the intent of their operation. With more and more stability anchors surrounding the building, his influence on the crowd's psyche would diminish.
If Jin Xin couldn't arrive within three minutes, the task force would likely launch a strong attack.
Zzzzz—
Suddenly, a sound of electricity buzzed in everyone's ears.
Love turned his head to look, and a skinny head fell from the sky, landing on the ground.
The head rolled to Love's feet, opened its panda like eyes weakly, and said, "Brother, I finally managed to escape back here."
"Why have you become like this?" Love asked in surprise. "You look like you've been soaking in a spittoon for seven days and nights."
"Since when did you start fortune-telling?"
"Hmm?"
Bang Bang Bang—
Suddenly, the sound of gunfire rang in everyone's ears, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to realize it was coming from the walkie-talkie.
Love closed his eyes and tried to sense the situation downstairs, but the abundance of stability anchors limited his perception to only the first three floors.
"What's going on?"
"Doctor, it's Gu Yi..."
Boom!
Suddenly, an explosion erupted beneath Love's feet. He was directly engulfed in the blast.
The hostages huddled together and took the opportunity to escape in the chaos.
Qu Kangping helped Ah Jian to escape with the crowd. They exchanged a glance, looking at each other dumbfounded.
"This must be Gu Yi's doing."
"I don't know whether to praise him or scold him."
After the initial confusion, the fanatics stood up again and fired warning shots.
Bang Bang Bang—
"Don't move!"
Hearing the gunshots, everyone screamed and lay down on the ground.
The leader of the fanatics raised his gun and shouted, "Stop the chaos! You and you, go check on the doctor! The rest of you, watch the hostages!"
Seeing Love blown up, the fanatics also lost their composure.
The leader glared fiercely at the hostages and walked towards the site of the explosion. As he passed the main door, a bullet pierced through the door panel and accurately shot through his temple.
Blood and marrow splattered everywhere.
The hostages screamed incessantly.
Seeing this, the fanatics redirected their attention to the main entrance.
"Shoot at the main door!"
Bang Bang Bang—
The main door was riddled with bullet holes, and the gunman who shot through it to kill the leader had already made a swift escape.
The sound of helicopter rotors echoed from outside.
"Shoot down the helicopter quickly!"
A fanatic picked up a rocket launcher, aiming at the helicopter. However, a sniper positioned in the distance had already taken aim and fired, killing the fanatic.
It was clear that Love was either killed or injured in the blast.
Without his help, the group of fanatics had no means to counter the sniper.
The Anti-Weirdness task force landed on the roof of the building and descended using ropes.
The fanatics gathered the hostages together, intending to set themselves on fire. They were willing to die, even if it meant taking others with them. As terrorists, they cared little for their own lives.
"Let's all die together!"
A fanatic pulled out a grenade and removed the pin.
Just then, the ventilation grate above him was kicked open, and Gu Yi descended from above, shooting the fanatic dead in mid-fall.
The grenade dropped to the ground.
The other fanatics quickly turned their guns towards Gu Yi.
Gu Yi agilely rolled behind a pillar for cover. Bullets ricocheted off the pillar, causing all the hostages to cover their heads and cry out in fear.
Qu Kangping acted quickly. He suddenly stood up, pushed aside the body of the fanatic, and kicked the grenade out of the window.
Boom!
The grenade exploded outside, sending shards of glass flying.
The hostages on the ground were unharmed, but the standing fanatics were injured by the flying glass fragments.
At this moment, the Anti-Weirdness troops descended from above, efficiently eliminating the remaining fanatics.
Gu Yi emerged from behind the pillar, raising his hands, "Don't shoot, it's me."
"Mr. Gu, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Gu Yi glanced outside the door. "There are twenty-three fanatics downstairs. Thirteen have committed suicide, ten are trying to escape; they've run to the basement. Another group of hostages is trapped on the 23rd floor. Don't storm in through the main entrance; they've planted many mines there."
"Is there anything else?"
"That's all," Gu Yi confidently stated. "I've already taken care of the few remaining fanatics. The cleanup is up to you now."
"Okay."
The Anti-Weirdness troops nodded and left, following Gu Yi's instructions to pursue the remaining fanatics.
Gu Yi let out a long sigh of relief.
Thanks to the effect of "The-World Card," Gu Yi was able to successfully use the bomb to ambush Love and also managed to eliminate the scattered fanatics, saving Wang He who was on the brink of death.
Qu Kangping whose face was covered in blood, walked up to Gu Yi and patted his shoulder firmly.
"Brat, you did well. How did you manage it?"
"Um... even if I told you, you might not understand."
"Huh?"
Qu Kangping tilted his head, not pressing further.
Gu Yi, limping, walked towards the site of the explosion. Qu Kangping turned and then noticed that Gu Yi had been shot in the leg.
"Gu Yi, you're injured."
"It's nothing, just a graze."
Gu Yi waved his hand dismissively and continued forward. He had been so desperate, all to eliminate these two hosts in the real world.
If both of them managed to escape, it would all have been in vain.
The explosion site was littered with mutilated bodies.
Love was charred with his lower half blown apart. In his arms was a dark, shriveled head, unmistakably Jin Xin.
Gu Yi bent down to pick up Jin Xin's head, only to find it had shrunk to the size of half a basketball. He slowly lifted his eyelids, his face filled with resentment.
"Gu... Yi..."
"You couldn't escape."
Gu Yi opened his right hand, and Jin Xin's head was absorbed into a black orb of light. Inside the orb, the head bounced from side to side, gradually shrinking until it was the size of an apple core.
Qu Kangping watched in disbelief as Gu Yi eliminated Jin Xin's head. "You... what is this...?"
"Double talent, remember?"
"You can use weird abilities in the real world?" Qu Kangping, with a furrowed brow, grasped Gu Yi, "What exactly is going on with you?"
"I... I don't know."
"Have you ever heard any terrifying murmurs? They usually can be heard when you're alone."
"What terrifying murmurs?"
Qu Kangping became increasingly agitated, suddenly realizing something. He asked in a low voice, "Tell me, do you have the Tarot cards with you?"
