Chapter 165: The Shocking Kidnapping Case (4)
"Phew, it's nothing."
Gu Yi took a deep breath, his lips curving slightly upwards.
Even in such a dangerous situation, his heartbeat remained steady - this level of danger was nothing compared to what he had faced in the weird world!
Gu Yi raised his right hand, focusing all his spiritual energy there.
The black orb appeared again, and he pressed it against the exterior window glass. Instantly, the glass disappeared into the orb's space. Swinging his body, Gu Yi smoothly entered the room below.
"Success!"
The soldiers downstairs couldn't help but clench their fists.
Love suddenly felt something was amiss and returned to the window, looking downstairs.
"What's the matter, Doctor?"
"Nothing." Love shook his head. "I just felt those people's emotions surge, as if they'd won a lottery of five million."
"Is it because the stability anchor is arriving?"
"That shouldn't cause such excitement, should it?"
Love turned to glance at Gu Yi, who was still hanging mid-air, swaying like a salted fish.
...
Gu Yi stood in the room, looking back at the shattered window glass, and gently patted his chest.
He turned his head and looked around. This was a double standard room, clean and tidy, with a faint scent of orchids in the air.
As early as a day before, the rooms of the International Hotel had been vacated, reserved only for international dignitaries.
Gu Yi sat on the edge of the bed, his hand propping up the side, only then realizing his arms were trembling non-stop due to exhaustion.
What was more fatal was that using weird powers in the real world came with a greater cost. He now had a headache as if he hadn't slept for three days and nights. As long as someone gives him a pillow, he could sleep until tomorrow morning.
However, Gu Yi had no time to rest. He had to find a way to protect everyone and thwart Dr. W's plan.
Rummaging through the cabinet, Gu Yi found a packet of instant coffee and a tea bag.
With no time to boil water, Gu Yi simply tore open the instant coffee and chewed it dry.
After swallowing the coffee, he stuffed the tea bag into his mouth, brewing it with his saliva.
Gulp...
Gu Yi rested on the bed for a while and found himself feeling revitalized. Chewing the tea bag directly seemed even more flavorful than brewing it. He decided to take out another bag of tea, tore the packaging, and chewed all the leaves.
"Alright."
After resting, Gu Yi looked at his watch.
21 minutes had already passed, and in another 9 minutes, the fanatics would start slaughtering the hostages.
There were about twenty to thirty fanatics upstairs, each armed. With his current mental power, he could only use a Tarot card once more.
His first task now was to find a way to rescue the hostages on the other floors and use their strength to fight against the fanatics.
However, Gu Yi was hesitant to rescue the agents from the strategy group.
In his numerous dreams, he had been killed from behind multiple times, which he interpreted as a symbol of betrayal. The fact that Dr. W could deceive so many dignitaries indicated that his suspicions were not unfounded.
He secretly kept the Tarot cards to himself, not wanting to inform the mole in the strategy group. Until he could confirm the identity of the mole, Gu Yi dared not trust any agent.
"Let's see what surprise you can bring me."
Gu Yi took a deep breath and once again drew a Tarot card from the black orb.
The card depicted a door of success, with the goddess of success standing in the middle, waiting with a smile. The word "The-World" was written in English at the bottom of the card.
"Hisss - such an invincible card?"
Holding The World card, Gu Yi suddenly felt his soul leave his body.
Immediately, the dynamics of everything within a ten-mile radius entered his mind, even the hiding spots of rats and cockroaches in the building. It felt like having a full-map vision hack in a game.
As his soul returned to his body, he now could detach his soul at any time to observe the entire building. With his current mental power, he could maintain the effect of the Tarot card for about half an hour.
Gu Yi closed his eyes and discovered that in the presidential suite located at the southeast corner, a group of hostages, mostly family members of dignitaries, were hidden. Among them, a few physically robust individuals were given special attention by the fanatics, with their hands and feet bound.
There were only four fanatics on this floor.
Two of the fanatics were guarding the door, and the other two were inside the room. Each of them was wearing a headset, periodically communicating with each other.
"Sigh..."
Gu Yi took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and planned a stealth route in his mind, while also recalling his experiences in the weird world.
In the previous world, Gu Yi had played the role of a soldier. The knowledge and skills he acquired had been practiced countless times in deductions, which is why he was able to learn firearm skills so quickly in the real world.
—This was the most formidable aspect of infinite deduction!
"Gu Yi, you can do this."
He gently patted his cheeks and carefully left the room. Tiptoeing, he bypassed several fanatics and arrived at the presidential suite. He lurked in a shadowy corner, then with his right hand, he pulled out a shard of glass from the black orb space.
Clang!
Gu Yi threw the glass shard into a corner.
The two fanatics guarding the door were immediately drawn to the sound.
"What was that noise?"
"A rat?"
"No, it sounded like glass to me."
"Let's go check it out."
"Alright."
As the two fanatics approached one after the other, the moment the first one reached the corner, Gu Yi swiftly acted. He used the glass shard to slit the enemy's throat and deftly snatched the handgun from the enemy's waist.
"Enemy attack!"
The second fanatic, realizing something was wrong, immediately raised his submachine gun.
But Gu Yi was faster. Before the enemy could pull the trigger, Gu Yi shot him in the head.
Hearing the commotion, the fanatics inside the room also quickly rushed out.
Gu Yi, using the body of a fanatic as a shield, hid in the corner and swiftly took out the third fanatic with a shot.
"Damn it!"
The last remaining fanatic hurried back into the room, not daring to come out. He surmised that his assailant, with such precise marksmanship, must be an agent from the strategy group. He quickly grabbed the headset and was about to press the talk button.
"Hello..."
Bang!
A bullet pierced through the wall, hitting the last fanatic's head.
The hostages inside the room screamed in shock, all turning to look at the door.
They saw Gu Yi, bloodied, walking to the doorway, waving his hand, "Hello everyone, I'm Gu Yi, I'm here to save you. Does anyone here know how to use a gun?"
"I do! I'm a bodyguard for the president of Sakura Country."
"A bodyguard from Sakura Country? Maybe not then..."
"Mr. Gu, I know how to use a gun."
"Are you also a bodyguard?"
"No, I'm just a student."
"A student? Never mind, then."
"I'm from Gotham City, and I've also spent holidays in Hawaii."
Hearing this, Gu Yi inhaled sharply and quickly handed a submachine gun to the student, "Remember to follow my orders later."
