Chapter Twenty-Three: Making a Move

  Sometimes, it's like a source of virus infection, not only ignoring defense, but also spreading rapidly, making people unable to defend against it.

  Kaneko's warning to Brittany is like a Pandora's box.

  Now that the box is open, panic spreads rapidly inside. In just a few moments, all the hostages become restless, their faces filled with despair, fear, terror, and endurance, as well as eyes gleaming like those of a tiger lurking in ambush...

  The diverse and colorful world of human life is vividly portrayed within this narrow space.

  After a few minutes, several soldiers came in and dragged out a male hostage.

  People were on tenterhooks, unsure of what kind of residents he would be facing.

  A few minutes later, a brief and urgent cry of despair rose up, the mournful sound stopping abruptly in an instant, but long enough for everyone to understand what had happened.

  Everyone's face was filled with a ghastly pallor, and even Mireille, who had always been optimistic, began to feel uneasy.

  In the crowd, Euphemia seemed to want to stand up several times, but was pressed down each time by a woman beside her.

  Half an hour later, the soldiers who had entered earlier dragged away another person, this time a woman. The woman cried and shouted that she didn't want to leave, but was quickly kicked in the abdomen by one of the soldiers without mercy, fell to the ground in pain, and then was dragged out by her hair.

  Having seen this, I couldn't help but feel puzzled.

  In the plot, is it that the Japanese Liberation Front kills a hostage every half hour? My impression was that there wasn't such a part, I wonder if I forgot or if the plot underwent subtle changes.

  "What's going on? Are they going to grow up? Do I have to knock them down?" I chuckled softly beside Mire.

  Mirei: ……

  I don't know if it was hesitation or distrust of my ability, but Mireille remained silent and didn't say a word.

  Half an hour later, the soldiers returned again, scanned around with their eyes and dragged away another man.

  He appeared to be a bespectacled office worker in a suit, although his legs were trembling uncontrollably, he didn't shout or scream, but instead walked stiffly out with the soldiers.

  The moment the door was closed, a sudden burst of chaotic noise came from outside, sounds of robbery, shouting, scolding, and the crackling sound of fighting...

  Bang bang bang......

  Finally, a few gunshots and brief screams ended everything. A minute later, the tightly closed door was opened again, and the departing soldiers walked back in.

  I looked through the gap in the door and saw the office worker from earlier lying on the ground, surrounded by a pool of blood.

  Many people also saw this scene, their faces instantly turned pale and bloodless, and many people started vomiting softly.

  Several women also burst into tears.

  "You damned Breton bitch...". The soldier, muttering to himself, walked up to a woman and pointed his gun at her head. "If you resist, I'll kill you right now."

  The woman suddenly burst into tears, trembling as she tried to get up, but ultimately failed due to fear. The soldier impatiently stretched out his hand, wanting to grab her hair and drag her away.

  "No!!!"

  Suddenly, a sharp cry like a sharp knife pierced everyone's eardrum.

  Nina, who had been calmed down by me, suddenly let out a loud cry with her head hung low, her body shaking violently. I immediately realized that although I had comforted Nina, what had happened earlier still triggered the deep-seated fear in her heart, and she eventually collapsed due to fear.

  "Shut up! Shut your mouth!" The soldier yelled impatiently. With a ferocious expression, he walked over to Nina's side, grabbed her arm and pulled her up.

  "No, no, no, no......"

  "Shut up, or I'll kill you right now," the soldier bellowed.

  "Wait, she's just..." Mire tried to stand up and persuade her.

  "Let go of your dirty hands." I rushed out with a swish, like a fierce tiger descending a mountain. In the instant when everyone had not reacted yet, I kicked the soldier's chest with one foot.

  A loud crackling sound, and the soldier immediately flew out, heavily hitting the wall with a thunderous roar.

  With one strike, I took down a soldier. My horse didn't stop, and with a swift arrow-step, I rushed to the nearest soldier in front of me. With my right hand pointing like a knife, I fiercely chopped at his neck, making a crisp cracking sound, dislocating his cervical vertebrae, rendering his entire body immobile.

  At the same time, I took a few steps back and circled around to the front of one soldier like a ghost. My right hand grabbed his neck and directly threw him out, knocking down another soldier. The soldier who was knocked down had his breastbone shattered and died instantly.

  This time, he took out one with a kick, chopped down another, threw out a third, and knocked dead a fourth. The entire room had only eight guard soldiers, and in an instant, half of them were gone. It wasn't until then that the other soldiers snapped out of their trance-like state and suddenly came to their senses.

  "What......"

  "What a joke."

  "Kill him!"

  I lightly laughed, striding across the crowd, and in the blink of an eye rushed to the soldiers who had already loaded their guns and were ready to fire. "Too slow, you're too slow."

  A straight punch, directly smashing the soldier's throat, three are left.

  Bump...

  Gunfire erupted, I dodged the bullet and made a swift turn, my right hand at my waist suddenly whipped out, a flash of light appeared, dazzling everyone so they couldn't open their eyes.

  The light burst out with intense radiance under the reflection of the lamp, and all I heard were three muffled bangs. The remaining three soldiers were sent flying by me, crashing into the wall. Those three blows just now were absolutely fatal, no way they could survive.

  At this point, all the soldiers in the room fell silent.

  I looked at my masterpiece with satisfaction and turned back to face Mirei.

  The latter was shocked and couldn't hide his surprise, his mouth unconsciously opened wide enough to swallow an entire egg.

  Yeah, being able to see Mirei's once-in-a-thousand-years expression is already worth it.

  "Chairman, your chin is about to drop off!" I said with a grin.

  Lily stood up and looked around, exaggeratingly saying: "This is really impressive, no wonder it's the disciplinary committee that made all the boys in our school silent."

  "Generally speaking, it's just second best in the world."

  I spoke humbly, but my eyes shone with confident light.

  Even if I couldn't beat Yuen Cheung-yan, I would definitely not lose to Najee or Kamala.

  "Let's go, the gunshot just now has already been heard outside, definitely someone will come to check, if not leaving, it's easy to be caught again."

  "It's okay, it's okay, by that time I'm expecting your grand debut. Lili still looked very confident, patted my shoulder and made a 'I've got my eyes on you' expression."

  I gave her a white eye, pulled up Mireille who had reacted, as well as Shari and Nina, and quickly escaped.

  The remaining ones, there is only a group of hostages who look at you and you look at me...
