Chapter 1025: Trickery
"The two who left just passed the room where the Firearms and Ammunition are stored. They should reach the wall with the Mechanism leading to the Ground Floor in about two minutes..." Gin's voice came from the other end of the Earphone. "The remaining four have also turned back and are heading right at the Corridor Corner. They are likely planning to go to the room with the Data to transfer or hide the collected Data before the Police arrive. The Handles of Celebrities and Bribery Lists are far more critical than Guns!"
Chi Feichei didn't wait any longer. He turned the Corner and quickly and silently walked through the Corridor.
He had been waiting for B4 and KK to move to a Location where they couldn't provide timely support, and also to leave the Vicinity of the room storing the Guns.
That Room not only contained Guns but also Bomb Material and the Bomb he intended to Detonate Bomb. Although he didn't Think KK and B4 would value their lives, if those two saw no Hope of escaping and decided to fight him, choosing to shoot at that Room, hitting a place like the Wooden Door which Bullets can easily penetrate, the flying Bullets could potentially Detonate Bomb, killing him along with them.
Then he would be at a Loss.
On the Basement Level, the four people were rushing towards the room containing the Data.
The Judo Expert beside Kawasaki led the way. The Bodyguard Disguise as Kawasaki followed behind, walking with his Head lowered. The other two also remained in Silence, following around the Corner.
Not far after they turned the Corner, a tall, thin Black Shadow Black Shadow silently pressed against the Wall Side behind the Corner like a Ghost.
"Master, one meter to the right at the Corner ahead," Hissashi reported the other party's Location. "All four are there and are moving away from your Direction. One person has his back to the other three and is facing the Corner entrance..."
Chi Feichei held his Breath, quietly listening to the Footsteps coming from behind the Corner.
Now that the distance between them was shortest, it was the most Suitable Timing to Start Doing. However, he had to wait for the person guarding the Rear to turn back...
"He turned back Master go!" Hissashi shouted a string of words without pause.
Chi Feichei flashed out from behind the Wall. His Line of Sight quickly locked onto Sec's Bodyguard and Sec, whose Bodies had just turned halfway. He heavily threw out the two Flying Cards prepared in his Left Hand. In his Right Hand, the Muzzle of the Beretta 92F fitted with a Silencer was aimed at the Bodyguard wearing KK's Clothes, and he pulled the Trigger without hesitation.
The two Black Plates, one with the words 'Raki' and the other with the Crow Pattern, had been repeatedly Poisoned. Chi Feichei usually kept them soaking in a Glass Tank filled with Venom. They spun as they flew out, easily cutting into the side of Sec's and Sec's Bodyguard's necks. The Highly Toxic Poison immediately entered their Blood.
"Whoosh!"
A cluster of Firelight emerged from the Muzzle.
The Bodyguard who had changed into KK's Clothes had just intended to Turn Around when a Bullet quickly penetrated the back of his head. A Blood Flower burst from his face as he fell forward.
The Judo Expert's Body had only turned halfway, and his Right Hand holding the Gun had only been raised halfway, when Chi Feichei, closing in, grabbed his Wrist and deflected the Muzzle to the side.
At the same time, Chi Feichei quickly struck out with his Right Hand holding the Gun, pressing the Gun body and Palm together with full Strength onto the other party's Chest.
"Crack..."
The Judo Expert was originally at the Wall Side. The moment the cold Gun body pressed against his Chest, the fast and ruthless Strength crushed several Ribs on his left side. The broken bones instantly pierced his Heart, and at the same time, his Heart ruptured under the pressure.
"Thump!"
The Bodyguard wearing KK's Clothes fell face down onto the Ground, and the Gun that slipped from his Hand slid to the side.
"Thump!"
The Judo Expert's back heavily hit the Wall surface. His Head hung weakly forward, and fresh Blood overflowed from his nostrils and mouth, spraying outwards.
Chi Feichei withdrew his Hand, retrieving the Pistol that was cushioned under his Palm along with it.
Using the Gun as a cushion, the Trace of the broken Ribs would be from the side of the Gun body, not his Palm.
Otherwise, based on the Situation at the broken bone site, the Police could easily determine the Strength of his Palm, the approximate Outline of his Palm, the Method of applying force, and whether it was his Left Hand or Right Hand.
Although these Corpses would eventually be destroyed, he didn't want to leave any Trace that could potentially lead to his Identity being locked down Initially.
The Judo Expert's back was against the Wall, and his Body slid limply downwards.
"Thump! Thump!"
Sec and Sec's Bodyguard, whose side necks were cut by the Black Plates, only now lost their vitality, falling powerlessly to the Ground. Their Bodies hit the Cement Ground, making two consecutive muffled thuds.
Chi Feichei stepped forward to retrieve the Black Plates, preparing to chase after KK and B4.
In the Forest on the East Side Outside, Gin glanced at the Time in the corner of the Surveillance Camera feed. He found that only three seconds had passed from the moment Chi Feichei threw the Cards until the last Corpse fell to the Ground. He Commented inwardly, 'Brutal,' and looked at the other Surveillance Footage. "The other two..."
A hoarse, dry voice came from the Earphone: "KK and B4 are together."
Gin looked at the Surveillance Footage, his Gaze instantly becoming much gloomier.
It wasn't Because of the Goal's Trick, but Because in one of the Surveillance Footage feeds, the 'Bodyguard' beside B4, who had been keeping his Head down, Suddenly raised his Gun, the Muzzle pointing directly at the Camera.
The next second, the Camera feed was immediately cut off.
"He shot and shattered Camera Number 4," Gin said in a deep voice.
The placed Cameras all had Numbers. Since he mentioned Camera Number 4, Raki should know the other party's Location.
Below Camera Number 4, Kawasaki's action of firing a Gunshot towards the Ceiling startled the big guy beside him.
"Will..." The big guy was about to Speak Out but remembered that Kawasaki was currently Disguise as his own Bodyguard and quickly stopped himself.
"Cameras," Kawasaki leaned towards the big guy's ear, his Face grim as he lowered his voice, "I only found two. Besides this one, there's another on the Wall ahead. It's also Possible that some Places here have Eavesdropping Devices installed. You heard the Sound from over there Just Now. Their Situation is probably not good. The Other Party might catch up soon..."
Half a minute later, the big guy reached the Front and fired two shots, 'Bang bang', shattering the Camera.
"Raki, Camera Number 3 was also destroyed by them," Gin said, Staring at the feeds from the other Cameras. He saw a Black Shadow quickly run past below Camera Number 6 and added, "Open the Camera you are carrying with you. I need to Confirm your Situation."
After Chi Feichei ran past Camera Number 6, he didn't Stop. He continued running forward, Reach Out to open the Miniature Camera on his Collar that looked like a Button.
On the other side, Window Number 15 on the Computer, which had been blank, showed a feed. The Walls on both sides of the narrow Aisle rapidly receded. Due to Chi Feichei's Footwork, the Lens also shook violently.
After Chi Feichei ran past the Camera, he stepped onto the Wall at the Corner, used the force to jump up, flipped his Body, and a Suction Cup with a Handle landed in his Left Hand.
Meanwhile, on Gin's end, the feed shook as it rapidly approached the Wall surface, then suddenly flipped over and stopped. The entire Scene was upside down.
Gin: "..."
Raki's First Perspective is really... dizzying to Look at.
The front end of the Suction Cup was pressed onto the Ceiling. Chi Feichei held the Suction Cup's Handle with his Left Hand, using the suction to squat upside down on the Ceiling. The Gun in his Right Hand was aimed at the End of the Corridor, and he was slowing his Breath, which had quickened due to the rapid running.
Between Camera Number 4 and Camera Number 3 was a section of Corridor. There were three Rooms on each side. The entire Corridor was quiet, without a single Figure.
"The other Cameras didn't capture their Figures. They should have entered a certain Room," Gin Spoke Out. "It's been about 8 seconds since B4 destroyed the Camera. Even If they wanted to climb into the Ventilation Duct, it would be Impossible for them to get up there. They are likely still in the Room. Be Careful of an Ambush."
Is it Possible to escape by climbing the Ventilation Duct?
Chi Feichei Looked Below and denied this Approach.
When he knew the Surveillance Camera couldn't See KK and B4's Figures, he hadn't Considered escaping by climbing the Ventilation Duct. This Because the Ventilation Duct is very narrow, making it difficult for a person to Activity, let alone Counterattack with a Gun. Once discovered, they could be trapped inside and Shot.
Then...
Hissashi used Thermal Vision Observation. "Master..."
Chi Feichei jumped down. As his feet landed, he Reach Out his Left Hand and covered Hissashi's Mouth through his Coat... Okay, he covered the entire Head.
Shut up, no Spoilers, don't deprive him of the Opportunity to Think.
"Hmm?" Hissashi was Stunned. "Hmm hmm hmm..."
What is Master doing?
Chi Feichei made an Observation. He found a small Thread End stuck in the bottom corner of the First Room Doorway on his Right Hand side. He opened the Voice Recorder in his Pocket and stepped forward step by step.
This Time, Chi Feichei deliberately heavy his Footsteps, making a Sound.
"Step... step... step..."
In the silent Environment, the slight Footsteps seemed to be amplified considerably.
After walking seven steps, Chi Feichei Stop, released Hissashi, removed the Silencer from his Pistol, and fired two shots at the Room Door on his Right Hand side ahead.
"Bang! Bang!"
The Gunshot without a Silencer was very piercing.
"Master, I See..." Hissashi's Head was covered again through the Clothes. "Hmm..."
Chi Feichei fired two random shots, took a step forward, pressed the record Button on the Voice Recorder in his Pocket, and then threw a Black Plate with full Strength towards the Wall at the End of the Corridor.
The Corridor with three Rooms on each side was not long to begin with. Under Chi Feichei's full Strength, one corner of the Black Plate deeply nailed into the Wall surface. The Card body was also connected to a Transparent Thread fixed to the Card in the middle section.
The two ends of the Silk Thread passed through the entire Corridor and disappeared into Chi Feichei's Sleeve.
Chi Feichei wrapped the two ends of the Silk Thread twice around his Index Finger and middle finger respectively. He Took Out the Voice Recorder, tied it to one of the Silk Threads, pressed the loop playback Button on the Voice Recorder, and slowly pulled the Silk Thread tight backwards.
"Master I Saw them in..." Hissashi wanted to Speak Out, but his Head was covered again.
Chi Feichei needed his Right Hand to hold the Gun. While using his free Left Hand Palm to hold down Hissashi, his Fingers were also busy.
The Silk Thread on his Index Finger was pulled in two wraps, and the Silk Thread on his middle finger was released two wraps. The Silk Thread passing through the Card surface immediately slid a bit, and the Voice Recorder tied to one end of the Silk Thread also moved forward a section.
"Step... step... step..."
Two Silk Threads stretched across the Corridor. The Voice Recorder playing the Footsteps Sound was pulled by the Silk Threads, moving little by little towards the End of the Corridor.
Just before it moved to the doorway of the middle Room, two piercing Gunshots were heard.
"Bang! Bang!... Step..."
The Footsteps Sound resumed, and the Voice Recorder continued to move forward.
