At this moment, Tang Wenjun used his embrace of Xiaotang to partially cover his face, glanced at Tu Dao out of the corner of his eye, and nodded slightly.
Tu Dao happened to see Tang Wenjun's expression and actions, and he immediately pointed his gun at Gao Jianfei, "You come here too!"
Gao Jianfei took a deep breath and walked directly towards the other party.
"Jianfei!" Chen Xian suddenly rushed out without regard for anything else.
Tang Wenjun quickly nodded slightly to Tu Dao. Tu Dao shouted, "...Woman, come here too!"
At that critical moment, the beautiful young woman's eyes, brimming with fear, fixed intently on Gao Jianfei's face. Her fear vanished instantly, replaced by a complex emotion that no one could describe. Tears welled in her eyes, and she bit her lower lip, her whole body trembling slightly.
A strange feeling suddenly welled up in Gao Jianfei's heart, a feeling he couldn't quite pinpoint. It was as if something was calling to him!
Of course, this feeling was fleeting. Gao Jianfei didn't dare to delay and pulled Chen Xian along to Feilong's wife's side. Gao Jianfei glared at Chen Xian, somewhat displeased... What are you doing meddling here?
Chen Xian remained silent, her face filled with determination.
At that moment, Gao Jianfei suddenly noticed that the beautiful young woman who had been captured by the enemy when she drove in earlier was staring intently at him, tears streaming down her face silently, her teeth clenched tightly, and her whole body trembling slightly.
Strangely enough, Gao Jianfei felt a sense of familiarity, even warmth, towards this young woman he had never met before!
"Madam, don't be afraid, it's alright, nothing will happen." Gao Jianfei, as if possessed, softly comforted the young woman, "Sister Bi."
Chapter 157 The Sharpshooter! The sharpshooter appears again!
Chapter 157 The Sharpshooter! The sharpshooter appears again!
Feilong's house was in complete chaos!
Sixteen armed thugs appeared out of nowhere and entered Feilong's house, shockingly killing several of Feilong's guests and instantly taking control of the situation!
Now, over at the banquet, hundreds of guests were all so frightened that their lips turned black, their faces were covered in cold sweat, and their legs were trembling.
Meanwhile, the criminals had successfully taken a group of people hostage!
Tang Wenjun, Xiaotang, Feilong, Feilong's wife, Gao Jianfei, Sister Bi, Chen Xian, Feilong's mother.
At that moment, Feilong held his wife and mother tightly in his arms and whispered, "Mom, wife, it's okay. We're all together as a family. It'll be alright. I'm here with you."
While holding Chen Xian's hand, Gao Jianfei said to Sister Bi, "Madam, please don't be afraid, everything will be alright." For some reason, when Gao Jianfei faced this beautiful young woman he had just met, he felt an urge to protect her!
Seriously? The situation is almost out of control, and you're still thinking about protecting a strange young woman?
Gao Jianfei himself couldn't figure out the reason. It must be some kind of instinct originating from his body and subconscious.
The beautiful young woman seemed to ignore Gao Jianfei's words! She only trembled intermittently, her eyes fixed on Gao Jianfei, two streams of tears streaming down her face, washing away much of the foundation covering her eyes and revealing fine wrinkles on her skin. But she didn't care, just staring at Gao Jianfei.
At this moment, Feilong's wife and Feilong both sighed simultaneously. They both wondered, why did Sister Bi suddenly appear? Wasn't she supposed to be in America participating in a charity fundraising event? This was terrible! Originally, everyone had tried their best to keep it a secret and prevent Gao Jianfei from meeting Sister Bi, but fate really does play tricks on people!
After comforting Sister Bi, Gao Jianfei immediately fell into his own thoughts… These people were definitely not from the underworld! It was estimated that no other underworld organization in China could pull off such a shocking act! Directly armed with guns, even grenades, storming into a wealthy villa district, randomly shooting and kidnapping people. Keep in mind, city government officials were also attending the banquet today! (Of course, Gao Jianfei was unaware of this, and these mercenaries themselves were completely unaware that the city government leadership was present).
Are these people here to deal with the flying dragon?
Another point is that the four thugs who came first clearly knew what time Feilong would order the cake that night and which bakery it was from, which is why they came in disguise. Furthermore, their timing was perfect; just as the four fired the first shot, the twelve thugs behind them immediately drove in.
All of this was premeditated, and there's another point... there's a traitor among Feilong's so-called "own people"!
Gao Jianfei was lost in thought when the other side had already begun their retreat. The 16 thugs rudely shoved all the hostages into the car. They then fired several shots into the air, even killing a few more passengers, who were all terrified and crouched down, convulsing. Only then did the thugs drive away.
Gao Jianfei, along with Chen Xian and Sister Bi, were shoved into one of the cars. There were also two armed thugs in the car, pointing their guns at Gao Jianfei and the others.
The convoy quickly drove out of the villa area.
Gao Jianfei remained silent, repeatedly considering his options. He believed he could take advantage of the situation and eliminate the two thugs and the driver in the car, but that would be largely pointless. After all, the other hostages were in other cars, and if Gao Jianfei acted rashly, it might backfire.
wait!
We can only wait for the right opportunity!
After the convoy descended the mountain, it circled around to the back of the mountain, where several vans were parked.
The thugs forced the hostages off the vehicle. Butcher and several of his confidants discussed the matter, and then they made a series of arrangements.
First, Feilong, Feilong's mother, Sister Bi, and Chen Xian were forcibly crammed into a van.
Then, Tang Wenjun, Feilong's wife, and Xiaotang were crammed into another van.
Strangely, Gao Jianfei was taken into the second van alone.
The criminals abandoned their original car and continued driving in three vans.
Gao Jianfei sat in the car, glancing at the five thugs inside who were pointing guns at him. The car was dark, with only occasional slivers of moonlight filtering in, casting flickering light on the thugs' faces. They exuded a chilling, beast-like aura, their eyes filled with a palpable killing intent.
Sitting across from these five thugs, Gao Jianfei became even more certain that these people were definitely not ordinary! At the very least, they should be professional killers like Cone, a genius!
Gao Jianfei didn't focus all his attention on the assassins; he was more focused on the environment outside the window.
The three vans chose a route that wasn't through the city center, but rather in the suburbs below the Fengming Mountain villa area. This area is practically devoid of houses, consisting only of small hills. Generally, wealthy villa areas in every city are built in the suburbs, far from the city center. This allows the wealthy to feel that the environment is pure and clean, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, where they can live a leisurely life.
After observing for a while, Gao Jianfei finally decided... to take action!
Let's get started right here!
Without making a sound, Gao Jianfei turned on the virtual display screen. This time, he chose a level 1 exorcist function he hadn't used in a long time... Reveal!
It costs 2 Exorcism Points to make a Level 1 ghost appear from its lair in a void state! Ghosts in this void state possess no offensive power or ability to cause harm. Furthermore, only the ghost's former enemies, relatives, close friends, and those with extremely weak or feeble mental strength can see them.
Clearly, this group of thugs does not meet any of the above conditions!
In an instant, ten pale blue, phosphorescent-looking humanoid figures appeared in Gao Jianfei's van!
They rippled and twisted a few times, and then Gao Jianfei could clearly see their expressions, postures, and how they looked when they were alive.
Gao Jianfei summoned a total of 10 level 1 ghosts!
Seven male ghosts and three female ghosts!
They winked and grinned at Gao Jianfei, then made faces at the thugs. Of course, the thugs still stared coldly at Gao Jianfei with murderous intent. They had no idea that ten ghosts were hovering around them!
Among them, a young female ghost was sticking out her scarlet tongue and licking the rough face of a thug back and forth!
This was purely a prank played by bored ghosts for their own amusement. Of course, the thug was completely unaware of it. However, if he were lucky enough to witness it, he would probably be scared to death!
After successfully releasing the ghost, Gao Jianfei's lips twitched slightly, revealing a strange smile.
"...What are you laughing at?" One of the thugs noticed Gao Jianfei's strange expression and felt a chill run down his spine. He immediately pointed his gun at Gao Jianfei and shouted coldly.
Gao Jianfei completely ignored the thugs; with a single thought, he commanded, "Enter the Ghost Den!"
And just like that, under the watchful eyes of the five thugs, Gao Jianfei vanished as if he were air!
A complete and utter disappearance! There were no other signs or indications; it simply vanished without a trace!
"Huh?" The five thugs gasped in unison, then exclaimed in surprise!
They rubbed their eyes hard to make sure what they were seeing was real. Then, four of the thugs nervously began searching the cramped carriage. Another thug shouted to the driver, "Stop the car! Stop the car now!"
Immediately, the thug, with slightly trembling hands, pulled out a walkie-talkie and warned the two vans in front of him: "Something's happened! Stop! Stop right now!"
"Snap..."
The sound of brakes rang out, and all three vans came to a stop at the same time.
The five thugs who were with Gao Jianfei opened the car doors and jumped out. They were unaware that the ten Level 1 ghosts had all possessed them and gotten out of the car at the same time.
Soon, Butcher Knife jumped out of the van in front and demanded, "What's going on?"
"Commander, it's a ghost! It's a real ghost! That hostage, he disappeared right under our noses! Yes, he disappeared!"
"...Do you think this is a science fiction movie? Gone?" Tu Dao sneered disdainfully, then, gun in hand, he personally went to the van that Gao Jianfei was riding in and searched it carefully. Indeed, there wasn't a single person in sight!
At this moment, Tu Dao's expression turned serious. He glanced at the van. The window was open. Tu Dao said in a commanding tone, "That man was very quick and agile. He must have jumped out of the van when you weren't looking!"
Indeed, that is the only explanation.
No normal, healthy person would believe that someone could mysteriously disappear right in front of them.
The five thugs looked at each other, subconsciously accepting this explanation for the murderous act. This was because they were also atheists.
"Alright, leave the hostage in the car. Everyone else, get out and start searching!" Butcher shouted. "They should be hiding nearby! Hurry!"
A dozen or so thugs locked the van doors from the outside, locked all the hostages inside, and left a few armed men guarding the outside. The remaining dozen or so thugs searched the surrounding area.
Meanwhile, the 10 level 1 ghosts released by Gao Jianfei were distributed around the perimeter, observing the thugs' futile search.
In the den of ghosts.
Gao Jianfei had already picked up the iron bow and arrows from Liuguiwo.
"Dear user, welcome to Ghost's Den! You currently possess a large number of exorcism points. Would you like to request a Level 2 ghost?"
The voice of the intelligent program, loyalty, rang out.
Gao Jianfei smiled faintly, "Not now. I need to deal with a group of assassins."
After saying that, Gao Jianfei directly recalled the 10 Level 1 ghosts outside the Ghost Nest back into the Ghost Nest.
Ten solidified level 1 ghosts surrounded Gao Jianfei.
"Alright, tell me what you saw." Gao Jianfei subconsciously picked up a piece of toilet paper and began wiping an arrow.
“Xiao Gao,” a Level 1 Ghost in a security guard uniform said directly, “all three cars have stopped. Someone is locked inside one of them. A dozen armed guys got out and searched the area. Only three guys were left to guard the van.”
"They did indeed stop the car to check." Gao Jianfei nodded in satisfaction.
“Xiao Gao, I’ve observed that there are four people to the southeast; four to the northwest; and five behind the three vans,” another female Level 1 ghost said. “These people are all a certain distance away from the three vans.”
Gao Jianfei nodded. "I've also observed that there's a small hill about ten meters to the left of the van I was in."
"Uh, Xiao Gao, no one has gone there yet," said a level 1 ghost horse with a migrant worker appearance.
"Okay, I understand!" Gao Jianfei patted the iron bow slung over his shoulder. "I'll leave Ghost Den immediately to handle this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Jianfei's thoughts flashed, and he had already left the ghost den.
Outside the Ghost Den. Gao Jianfei appeared inside the van. Having already used his Level 1 Ghost Detection to pinpoint the exact locations of the thugs, Gao Jianfei didn't hesitate; his target was the small hillock a dozen meters to the left of the van!
Gao Jianfei jumped out of the car window, then pressed his body tightly against the car door. He scanned the area, but none of the criminals noticed him!
In fact, the security for the car where Gao Jianfei disappeared was negligent! After all, the criminals had checked the car and made sure there wasn't a soul inside, so none of them paid any attention to it during the search!
Gao Jianfei breathed a sigh of relief, hunched over, and sprinted toward the pile of small hills on his left!
The distance of a dozen meters was covered quickly by Gao Jianfei's rapid sprint.
Gao Jianfei climbed up one of the small hills without anyone noticing.
This small hill is only about 7 or 8 meters high. There are several other small hills in the vicinity.
