Chapter 672 The Passing of Time 37

The door opened silently, and a note appeared out of thin air on his desk. He Rui was terrified when he saw it, but he still picked up the note and glanced at it: there was one and a half hours left until the three-day deadline for releasing the person.

He Rui calmly put down the note and went about his business.

In fact, he kept thinking back to whether the people who came in earlier might have secretly placed this note on his desk.

But after thinking it over and over, he came to only one answer: Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

This note appeared out of thin air.

Therefore, it must have been the ghost who came in person.

Another half hour passed quickly.

The second note appeared out of nowhere.

The message simply stated a countdown: one hour left.

After reading the note, He Rui casually put it aside, got up and walked around the office, but didn't touch anything.

But he was certain that the person was in the room.

Another half hour.

The note appeared right on time: Half an hour left.

At this moment, He Rui's stomach made a rumbling sound.

The old man didn't eat lunch, and it's already 1:30 in the afternoon; he must be hungry.

Yes, Ning Yan is hungry too.

He Rui placed the note on the table again, lingered in the office for about twenty-three or twenty-four minutes, and then left the office with his hands behind his back.

After he left, he deliberately closed the door, but the next second, the door opened automatically.

A cruel smile appeared on He Rui's face.

Very well, ghosts can only deceive people's eyes, but they cannot appear or disappear out of thin air, much less pass through walls.

He Rui had been thinking about this a lot these past few days. They had ninjas in their country who could use the terrain and clothing to hide themselves and carry out assassinations. He thought Ghost was one of them.

Therefore, he had already made the arrangements.

The office was too small to be an ambush site, so he decided to make the canteen his battlefield.

I walked to the cafeteria at a leisurely pace, which took about five minutes.

There's definitely no one eating in the cafeteria right now.

After he came in, someone went to the kitchen to prepare his lunch.

He randomly picked a table to sit down, and before he could even take a sip of water, another note fell from the sky!

The sign read: Time's up, release them. You only have one minute!

He Rui's expression finally changed. He stood up with the note in his hand, pretending to go out and call for reinforcements. As soon as he stepped out of the restaurant, he immediately darted behind the wall and closed the door: "Fire!"

In an instant, bullets rained down!

The hall looked empty, but there were a full hundred military police hidden behind the windows. In addition to rifles, there were even twenty men with heavy machine guns. He didn't believe anyone could survive such intense firepower.

He Rui also cleverly locked the canteen door with a padlock.

The windows are reinforced with steel bars, so even if the glass breaks, no one can get out.

After doing all that, he ran to the tank parked in the yard. He didn't believe that the ghost could sneak in silently.

Ghost didn't actually sneak in, because she was still in the canteen dealing with the Japanese soldiers who were lying in ambush with her. If you listened carefully, you could tell that the sound of machine guns had decreased by more than half in just a few steps. Not long after He Rui crawled into the tank, the canteen became quiet.

"Commander, there's no sound from inside."

He Ruixi said, "Quickly, send two people in to check the situation."

Soon, the bullet-riddled door of the cafeteria was opened, and the huge cafeteria was eerily quiet.

The two sentries who were checking the situation stood at the door, with a bad feeling in their hearts.

Soon, they heard a sound, "tick-tock, tick-tock".

Seeing the two still standing dumbfounded at the door, He Rui's adjutant urged, "Baga, hurry up, or I'll shoot you!"

After being scolded, the two men quickly grabbed their guns and headed inside. However, while their toes pointed forward, their bodies seemed to desperately want to dash out of the cafeteria, their fear evident.

But no matter how scared you are, you still have to do what needs to be done.

There was no one in the open space of the cafeteria, and they didn't even see a trace of blood, but the "tick-tock" sound was still ringing, so the two walked towards the direction from which the sound came.

Behind the canteen's food serving window, a Japanese soldier had his neck stuck on a cutting board, his legs kneeling on the ground. There was a cut on his neck from a sharp blade, and blood kept dripping down the wound, pooling on the ground and making a "drip drip" sound.

But this wasn't the only one. Behind the food serving window, corpses lay scattered everywhere. They had no doubt that the soldiers who had ambushed the ghosts had all been killed by the ghosts themselves!

The two were so frightened that they backed away repeatedly, then frantically fled, shouting, "Help! The people inside have been killed by ghosts!"

The sound was so loud that even He Rui, who was inside the tank, couldn't ignore it.

Baka! So many people shooting at the same time couldn't kill him and he even got killed instead. Could he really be a ghost?

Thinking of this, He Rui felt a chill run down his spine.

The next second, He Rui lost consciousness.

The rows of taxis in front of the White Building watched helplessly as the tank carrying the commander disappeared before their eyes. A second later, the commander was thrown to the ground, a line of blood appearing on his neck. Blood gushed from the wound, and the commander tried to cover it but couldn't.

He Rui's last thought before he died was: If he had known he was going to die, he shouldn't have pretended to be a big shot and refused to eat. At least he could have died with a full stomach!

The scene of the tanks disappearing and the commander suddenly appearing was so shocking that not a single one of the many high-ranking officers and soldiers in front of the military police headquarters dared to step forward to help, or even speak up. They just watched helplessly as the commander struggled and died in front of them!

But if they don't go forward, will they avoid dying?

No!

The ghost said that if she didn't release the people in a day, she would kill ten Japanese soldiers, not counting the ones already mentioned.

A note fluttered down in front of a Japanese lieutenant colonel: "If the prisoners are not released as agreed, I'm going to start killing. Don't worry, I'll kill ten and I won't kill a single one more!"

The Japanese lieutenant colonel was so frightened that his legs went weak; he thought he was going to die.

But a cool breeze blew by, and a spurt of blood appeared on the neck of the soldier standing to his left.

The lieutenant colonel's eyes were filled with terror, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, and he was so frightened that he suddenly dodged several meters away.

The soldier quickly collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

"Run! The ghost has killed someone again!"

All the Japanese soldiers were thrown into chaos, fleeing in all directions in a panic.

But they still couldn't escape the fate of being killed, especially the loudest one in the Little Baga language. The louder the voice, the stronger the body, and the more likely he is to cause harm. Ning Yan picked out such people to kill!

Soon, she killed two more captains and seven ordinary soldiers.

Well, as for the one who died—who told He Rui to have the audacity to scheme against her!

Perhaps there were too many soldiers in the yard, or perhaps they were frightened; these men actually forgot to fire.

Another note fell.
