"Bang!"
He quickly pulled the trigger, the recoil of the pistol made him lift his hand slightly, but the bullet he expected did not leave the barrel. The muzzle was covered with a layer of ice, and the bullet could not be fired, exploding inside the barrel.
The pistol in Li Weiguo's hand suddenly exploded, turning his hand into a bloody mess, and a burnt smell wafted out.
Lin Ruo stood in front of him, the blue light in her hand still lingering. Looking at his mangled flesh, she chuckled, "Don't get so excited, the gun might explode."
Li Weiguo clutched his bleeding hand, his face extremely pale, his eyes filled with fear. "You're a superhuman?!"
The moment he learned Lin Ruo's identity, he knew he was no match for her. His eyes instinctively glanced towards the door, but no help came.
There was no sound from outside the door. Li Weiguo sensed something was wrong. The guards were right outside the villa. There was no way they wouldn't have heard such loud gunfire, unless... they were all dead.
"How did you get in here!"
This was the first time he had faced the terror of superhumans head-on. It turned out that what Ye Lin and the others said was true: superhumans, though possessing outstanding abilities, were uncontrollable. Now he had experienced it firsthand.
He began to retreat step by step. There was a secret room behind the bookshelf. If he could hide inside, he would still have a chance to survive.
Lin Ruo's spiritual power had already detected the secret room. She looked in that direction, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a blue light flashed at the tip of her right finger. Li Weiguo's retreating leg immediately stopped. His lips quickly turned purple, his face flushed red, and his heart ached violently, as if he were being grabbed by a large hand and pulled outwards.
"What... have you done?!"
Lin Ruo's mask remained on, her eyes growing increasingly dangerous. "What I did isn't important. What's important is what you want to do. Do you want to stall for time? Do you want to press that alarm? Or do you want to turn around and go into the secret room?"
As she spoke, the blue light at her fingertips grew brighter and brighter, and Li Weiguo's expression became increasingly grim.
He gasped for breath, unable to support himself any longer, and collapsed to the ground. Hearing Lin Ruo's words, his heart skipped a beat, intensifying the pain. His face grew even paler. How could this woman know?!
Even if she were a superhuman, she shouldn't know so much. He had already studied superhumans recently; they all just had some special ability. Some could control fire, some could control earth... This woman was clearly an ice-type, so how did she know the secret of his study?!
Regardless of what he was thinking, the blue light in Lin Ruoke's hand grew brighter and brighter. Li Weiguo felt the large hand gripping his heart tightening, and his heart was about to be crushed!
His expression was pained, and he weakly reached out his hand to Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow. Even now, he was still making a desperate struggle? Then she thought about his identity; perhaps he could reveal some information that would interest her.
The blue light in her hand dimmed, and in an instant, Li Weiguo felt the hands that had been gripping his heart move slightly away.
He knew the woman was curious about what he was about to say, but he only had one chance. If that one sentence failed to pique her interest, he would be killed instantly.
Li Weiguo gasped for breath. The feeling of death had been so close to him. He had never been so passive in all his years of life. He had never known that there were people in this world who could control the life and death of others with a single thought. What kind of superpower was this?
“I know why you came. I know I was wrong and I will immediately withdraw the bounty. What do you want? Supplies? Points? Status? Anything is fine with me…” Li Weiguo knelt on the ground looking at Lin Ruo. “I will no longer pursue Li Haoxuan’s death. He deserved to die. You can get much more…”
"Are you done talking?"
Lin Ruo originally wanted to hear some news about the B City base, but she didn't expect to hear this. She thought that although the deputy base director was a bit utilitarian, he really loved his son.
Unexpectedly, when it came to his own life and death, all his son received was the phrase "serves him right."
After she finished speaking, her hand glowed with a blue light and clenched slightly. Li Weiguo's face quickly turned purplish-red. All the blood vessels around his heart in his chest cavity were blocked by an invisible film of water. Blood could neither enter nor exit, and his heart function rapidly declined. In fact, the blood vessels even burst due to the excessive blood flow caused by the blockage.
Li Weiguo stared intently at Lin Ruo, as if he wanted to devour her alive.
Lin Ruo looked at him with relief. She had successfully resolved the potential troubles, and without the bounty on her lips, she could finally have some peace and quiet for a while.
Li Weiguo's heart stopped beating completely, and he lay on the ground, his face contorted in a grimace, his eyes wide open in death.
If Lin Ruo does not immediately deactivate her superpower, her heart may have briefly stopped beating, which could be a state of apparent death, and she may still survive.
Only after several minutes, when she confirmed that Li Weiguo was completely dead, did she activate her mental power. The water film in Li Weiguo's blood vessels instantly dissipated. Even if a forensic doctor came to perform an autopsy, he could only find that Li Weiguo died of heart disease caused by cardiovascular blockage.
Lin Ruo smiled gently, and an invisible stream of water flowed over the spot where she had stood, erasing any trace of her presence and the bloodstains on the ground.
Upon careful re-examination, she discovered that Li Weiguo's hand was still injured. Since he had already endured the pain, she simply used her water-based supernatural abilities to restore his hand and stored the ruptured gun in her spatial storage. Only then did she reapply the water film and leave.
When she left, Ye Lin was still stubbornly standing outside the door, and the two soldiers were helpless against him. "Commander Ye, the commander really has something to do, you can't go in."
"I know, that's why I'm waiting."
Ye Lin naturally knew that Li Weiguo didn't want to see him, but the more he didn't want to see him, the more he had to see him. The matter of the superhumans could not be taken lightly; otherwise, they would only escalate their actions in the future.
