Chapter 373 Deep Virtual Reality 201
Shen Mingwang glanced at the struggling gray shadow, his anger rising. They were all a bunch of good-for-nothings; how did they let this thing get on the train?
Besides the guests he invited, there were also quite a few reporters here.
"There were five suspicious individuals in total, and one escaped." Now the escaped person has also been caught.
Shen Mingwang took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from his hands, saying expressionlessly, "Drag him away."
After saying that, he suddenly felt a pang of panic. In Xie Ning's line of sight, a shadow as tall as him appeared behind Shen Mingwang. It looked like his own shadow, dark gray, but a bit darker.
The dagger, blending seamlessly with the shadow, pierced Shen Mingwang's chest before anyone noticed. The sound of metal piercing flesh rang out, and Qi Zhai's pupils contracted. The dark red thorns, encircling the black and gray shadow, were violently flung to the side.
With a loud "bang," the dark gray shadow slammed into the train window, and several other gray shadows that had been restrained and were struggling instantly sank to the ground and then quickly merged into the dark gray shadow.
"Mr. Shen!" The bodyguard next to him rushed forward to give Shen Mingwang first aid. The shadow was completely stripped of its outer skin by the thorns, and a young man in a waiter's uniform fell out.
Dark red thorns tightly coiled around his neck and body, dripping blood. He didn't struggle, but just grinned as he watched Shen Mingwang's ashen face, seemingly extremely pleased.
He never intended to go back; even if he died, he wanted to take someone down with him.
Qi Zhai snorted coldly, not intending to kill him, but instead had his men inject him with a strong inhibitor to prevent him from using his superpowers, in preparation for interrogation.
"How is Mr. Shen?"
"Moss, stop immediately and get the medical team here quickly." He had tried to persuade Mr. Shen, but the latter insisted on finishing the banquet.
Sidane glanced at Shen Mingwang on the ground and began to notify the company to send a helicopter to pick him up. Who knew if there were any other assassins here? It was best to leave as soon as possible.
The young man knelt on the ground, but his eyes were fixed on the window. Xie Ning was puzzled and looked over as well, wondering what was there that would attract the other man's attention.
Beside the waterfall, which resembled a galaxy, stood verdant tea trees. Xie Ning's shock absorber on his wrist vibrated faintly. Oh no!
"Bang—"
The immense impact and energy from the explosion surged forth, leaving those who had no time to react filled with terror. In that instant, a thick layer of ice blocked the onslaught.
The young man glared at Xie Ning, realizing that Xie Ning had used his supernatural abilities to protect the people in the car.
"Why?" the young man asked.
"They don't deserve it! They don't deserve it!" Tears fell onto the metal floor of the train. Xie Ning met the young man's sorrowful eyes and was momentarily stunned.
She didn't know the young man, and he probably didn't know her either, but the young man hated her for ruining their plans with her actions at that moment.
Xie Ning lowered her hand expressionlessly. She didn't think she had done anything wrong; she was just protecting herself.
Even if the other party suffered some misfortune, whether it was causing a scene at the banquet or seeking revenge against the Shen family, it was none of her business. Why should she feel guilty about it?
As for protecting others, if she hadn't offered help when she was capable of doing so, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
If she survives while others die or are injured, those behind them will blame her. But if she intervenes, others will be grateful to her; it's a self-serving act of kindness.
