Chapter 10 Murder
Lu Zhi glanced at the building, turned off his headset, and said in a deep voice, "Captain Sui, there are three people watching us from that building across the street."
Sui Cheng glanced at her discreetly, not asking how Lu Zhi had discovered it, but instead asked Tan Qingjia, "Can you sense the strength?"
Tan Qingjia tried to release some mental energy in that direction, but the other party seemed to be prepared, and the mental energy was blocked by a protective wall that was also constructed of mental energy.
She immediately reported: "The other side has a psychic ability user, and he is stronger than me. He has constructed a protective wall with his mental power, which my mental power cannot break through. If I want to force a breakthrough, it will take a lot of mental power."
Mental ability users are highly dependent on their mental energy, and the more they use it, the more uncomfortable they will feel. This is not only true for mental ability users, but also for other ability users who will experience pain for three to five days if they overuse their energy.
To use a suitable analogy, each superhuman's energy is like a pool of water. Every time a superhuman is used, the water in the pool decreases. The closer it gets to drying up, the less powerful the superhuman becomes. Therefore, superhumans prefer to solve problems quickly.
"No need, I'll go up and take a look." After saying this, there was no sound in the headset.
He had already entered the building. Judging from his observation, those people should be on the seventh floor or so, and it would take him less than a minute to go up.
Meanwhile, the people upstairs were unaware that their entourage had already arrived. The psychic ability user, a woman, was also wearing a mask. Sensing the unusual movement of the protective wall, she immediately said to the person standing in the middle, "They've already discovered us. Their psychic power just touched my protective wall."
The short man scratched his cheek, puzzled, and asked, "How did they find us? With your protective barrier in blue, no one should have been able to spot us, right?"
The woman called Blue said coldly, "I don't know either, but that's the truth. And I can sense that Sui Cheng has already come up. Bai, should we make a move?"
“It’s good that he’s up here. Let’s go down. Aren’t there hostages in the car?” Bai’s tone was arrogant and conceited. He grabbed the man in blue and the short man and jumped off the building. A sudden gust of wind lifted them up, allowing them to land safely.
As soon as he boarded the train, he saw this scene, confirmed that the person in the middle was a wind-type ability user, and realized that they were heading towards the car. He immediately threw a crackling lightning ball down below.
Bai sensed something and immediately manipulated the wind to dodge to the side. The lightning ball struck the ground directly, blasting a deep crater. If it had landed on them, they would have been torn to pieces.
Seeing that he had missed, Sui Cheng quickly said into his headset, "Qingjia, be careful, those three are heading towards you. Chen Jiang, go back to defend immediately, I'm coming down right away."
"receive."
"receive!"
When Tan Qingjia and the others received the message, the three people had already appeared in front of the car.
Lin Zhi was a little scared. She swallowed hard and tried to remain calm, saying, "Qingjia, can you do it?"
Tan Qingjia frowned: "I'll try my best to hold out until the captain comes back."
Both of them ignored Lu Zhi in the back seat.
But Lu Zhi didn't care. He just looked at the three dogs blocking the road in front of the car, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Bang!" Bai punched the car, and Tan Qingjia's mental power was directly entangled by the mental power of the man in blue.
"Eagle, drag them down."
"Okay, sure." The short man went straight to open the car door, starting with the middle one.
"Stop!" Chen Jiang arrived just in time and threw a water ball at the short man, but the man dodged it as if he had eyes in the back of his head.
"Don't be nervous, or your teammates might lose their heads." Eagle pointed his pistol at Tan Qingjia and the others.
Chen Jiang dared not move any further, his gaze sweeping over the three men, unable to discern their true intentions.
Tan Qingjia's face was somewhat pale because she had used too much mental energy.
"Cough cough cough." Just as the two sides were locked in a tense standoff, Lu Zhi's cough came from behind. It was a bit untimely, but it successfully diverted Ying's attention.
"I almost forgot about that pretty boy." The short man turned his gun towards Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi coughed incessantly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the arriving attendants and lowered his raised hand.
"Oh, he's a sickly one, isn't he? Your quirks with the team are quite unique." Bai laughed from the side, calling the three of them out of the car and making them stand in a row for Chen Jiang and the returning passenger to see.
The attendant, his expression cold, asked, "What is your purpose?"
"Purpose? We heard that the superpowers of those in the team rank at least third among all superpowered individuals. We're curious and want to see if it's true." Bai leaned back in the hood of the car, fiddling with a pistol in his hand.
Sui Cheng glanced at Lu Zhi and noticed that he had made a gesture to him. He instantly understood what Lu Zhi meant.
"If you want to see, you can see as much as you want. Why bother tying up my team members?"
Bai spread his hands and said, "Tie them up? Where do we tie people up? These three are perfectly fine, aren't they?"
"Cough cough cough!" Lu Zhi coughed again, this time with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
The shorter man next to him quickly explained, "I didn't do it! I didn't do anything!"
Bai said with displeasure, "Just like the captain, how can someone like this be your team member? I'm not even as good as him..."
Before he could finish speaking, a vine pierced his neck with a "splat," and blood gushed out as the vine was pulled out. Blue-clad and Eagle didn't even have time to react before they saw him fall to the ground and realized what had happened. "You're asking for it!"
Before Eagle could fire, a vine wrapped around his hand, the sound of a broken hand bone was clear, and the pistol fell to the ground, only to be caught by a long, beautiful hand.
Lu Zhi chuckled and said, "Hey, don't leave things lying around."
Sui Cheng was preparing his superpower when he made his move, but he still didn't expect Lu Zhi to act so quickly. When the vine passed through the man's neck, it was quite unexpected.
The ice froze the eagle and the blue-clothed man, rendering them immobile, with only their heads sticking out.
"Who's behind you?" the attendant asked sternly.
The man in blue and the eagle looked at each other with fear and disbelief. They glanced at Lu Zhi beside them, their fear intensifying.
Lu Zhi coughed up another mouthful of blood, even more than before.
"Brother Lv, water." It was Lin Zhi who brought water to Lv Zhi; she had just been terrified by him.
Who would have thought that the seemingly most harmless person would act so decisively!
"We're going to die anyway, so we won't say anything." Blue-Clad and Eagle withdrew their gazes, stubbornly refusing to speak.
"Qingjia, is your mental strength still sufficient?" Seeing Tan Qingjia nod, the attendant said, "This man is yours, and this mental ability user is Chen Jiang's. Ask them separately, and ask them carefully."
When Blue and Eagle heard the last three words "follower," they shuddered and felt a chill run down their spines.
After the two were led aside, Sui Cheng went to see the law enforcement officer.
The man's cough had lessened considerably; he was chewing on a red date and looked completely unconcerned.
"Does your body always become more severely injured after you use your powers?" Sui Cheng asked him with a serious expression.
Lu Zhi stopped what he was doing, then spat out the date pit and smiled obediently at Sui Cheng, "No, how could that be?"
Sui Cheng frowned and said, "Don't lie. After you use your superpower, the chances of you vomiting blood will increase."
"Hmm." Lu Zhi raised his chin, leaned against the car, and said gently, "I'm a little flattered that Captain Sui is concerned about me again."
