Chapter 104 Chapter 104 Supernatural Kidnapping Case (I)
Dizziness and nausea.
The skill of teleportation has always been a popular feature in many fantasy works. It seems that it would not be fashionable enough without it. However, only those who have experienced it personally will know that teleportation is not as romantic as imagined. The side effects caused by the strong pressure when instantly crossing two space nodes are not something that ordinary people can bear.
But in the eyes of Saionji Gyokuon, who had experienced Gojo Satoru's teleportation using [Ao], the experience of this person's teleportation technology was obviously not friendly enough. The dizziness and nausea were like having one's head pressed into a toilet that was flushing at a high power.
Moreover, in order to shake off the surveillance team from the Special Branch and Scepter4, that person jumped more than a dozen times without stopping, and the nausea he caused to others was simply exponentially increased.
As soon as she realized something was wrong, Yuyin grabbed onto Atobe's arm tightly, so she was also carried through space by him. With her strength, she could certainly sneak attack the teleporter during the jump and stop the kidnapping crime.
But firstly, the other gang consisted of more than one person. Catching him now would only alert the enemy and allow his accomplices to escape. Secondly, spatial abilities were always rather strange, and with Jingwu present, Yuyin worried that the other party would destroy themselves and cause unforeseen consequences—like accidentally trapping them all in a spatial gap where no one could find them.
After realizing all this in an instant, Yuyin shrank back even more and hid behind Atobe. Combined with her pale face caused by the bad experience of teleportation, she looked like an ordinary girl who was suddenly kidnapped.
At least that's how it seemed to the kidnappers.
After countless transfers and teleportations, the three of them now found themselves inside a desolate and dim abandoned warehouse.
Atobe Keigo's face was also a little pale. Thanks to the good physique he had developed from playing tennis for many years, he was able to endure the extremely uncomfortable feelings and still stand tenaciously instead of fainting directly.
"Lin! You're finally back!"
Sensing the movement, two men stepped out from the darkness. They looked extremely cautious. The tall and strong man among them had a loud voice. His eyes lit up when he saw Atobe, and they were full of greed. "Is this kid the heir to the big chaebol mentioned in the intelligence? We're rich!" He also did not forget to praise his companion for his outstanding ability, and he successfully captured the man with one move.
The accomplice he called Lin, whose full name was Lin Chengren, was a criminal wanted by the Special Branch for possessing a spatial ability called "Trap". He seemed to be the leader of this three-person gang.
Lin Chengren frowned and looked at the girl hiding beside Atobe: "I accidentally brought a tail here..."
His original plan was to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, pretending to target a wealthy man from the United States. In fact, he had already set his sights on the Atobe Group, which had developed well in the island country. He came up with this idea after seeing the list of players for the Japan-US Youth Exchange Tournament announced on TV. As a veteran in the kidnapping industry, Lin Chengren was more familiar with the members of these wealthy families, so he was able to recognize the heir of the Atobe zaibatsu from the list of players at a glance.
Of course, the plan only required taking one person away, but unexpectedly, when the time came, an accident happened and an extra person, Saionji Tamon, was brought out.
Lin Chengren is an extremely meticulous person, otherwise he would not have been able to escape under the nose of Yiteke for so long and remain safe and sound. Now that he encountered such an accident, he couldn't help but become a little alert.
"Hey, that's nothing," the gunman stepped forward and said nonchalantly, "Since he's not the target, just kill him."
Upon hearing this, Atobe Keigo's face changed and he immediately stood in front of Yuyin: "She is my girlfriend. As long as you guarantee her safety, I am willing to pay double the ransom."
In the previous fifteen years, Keigo Atobe had been so lucky that he had never experienced a kidnapping. However, as the son of a wealthy family, he had done relevant coping training many times and knew how to deal with criminals in order to ensure his own safety to the greatest extent. The most important thing was to make the other party think that you were worth living. So when he heard that the kidnappers intended to kill Yuon, Atobe immediately blurted out.
Of course, the next moment, feeling the warmth in his arms, Atobe suddenly remembered that Yuyin was not a delicate girl who needed his protection, but her identity was to protect him as his personal bodyguard.
Although he didn't know why Yuyin didn't take action and knock down the two bandits in front of him directly, Jibe was quick-witted and immediately realized that she must have other reasons and was deliberately showing weakness. He remained expressionless and maintained his previous attitude to protect her from letting the kidnappers notice anything was wrong.
"Double?!"
The tall and strong man's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was about to agree immediately, but when he saw Lin Chengren frowning and silent, he said expectantly: "Lin, look..."
Lin Chengren's gaze repeatedly moved between the young man and woman. The young man who stood up to protect his lover had a stern expression, as if he would disregard life and death for love. The girl who came into contact with his scrutinizing gaze shrank back, lowered her head and shrank further. Everything seemed so normal and reasonable.
Lin Chengren was still thinking when another weak voice rang out, "Well... although we have a signal jammer prepared in the warehouse, should we ask them to hand over their phones..."
Saionji Tamon glanced over out of the corner of her eye. The third member of the gang was not tall and even a little thin. The intelligence Scepter 4 obtained from the Special Branch only contained sporadic information about Lin Chengren, who had the ability to teleport, but the information about his accomplices was vague, and even the number and capabilities of his accomplices were unclear.
Yuyin has now seen his two accomplices, but whether this is all, whether the tall and short two are people with special abilities, and what their abilities are, all require her to judge for herself based on the detailed clues she has seen and heard.
"That's right!" The tall and strong man slapped his head and threatened, "You two, hand over your phones!"
Atobe immediately handed over his phone obediently, and Yuyin also pretended to be scared, taking out her phone tremblingly, and even in order to make it more realistic, her outstretched arm was shaking.
The tall and strong man impatiently snatched the phone from Yuyin's hand and continued to speak harshly to Atobe, "And the tracking device on you, don't think I don't know, you rich kids love to play with these things." As if afraid that Atobe might not be honest, he added a threat, "Hehe, if we find out that you are not honest and don't hand over all the tracking devices, don't blame us for being rude to you, my delicate girlfriend."
Atobe quickly took off his watch and handed it to the other party, not forgetting to calmly explain himself: "This watch has a positioning device. My family installed it to prevent me from getting into accidents. I just forgot about it. As for other devices, I really don't have them. You should know that I just played a game and didn't bring that much stuff with me. As long as you don't touch my girlfriend, I'm willing to cooperate with anything."
The tall and strong man stared at Atobe suspiciously for a few seconds before turning to Lin Chengren.
Lin Chengren took a look at Jibu. He was wearing a short sports suit with only a coat on the outside. It was so simple and thin that it was obvious at a glance that there was really no place to hide anything. All electronic equipment would fail when he jumped in the space just now, and there was a powerful shielding device in the warehouse, which interfered with the tracking and positioning of Yiteke to the greatest extent.
He then nodded to his accomplice and ordered, "Tie them up and we'll drive away immediately."
"Lin, there's no need to be so careful," the tall and strong man said carelessly, "Didn't you say you moved through space many times before getting here? Your abilities are so powerful, they definitely won't be able to find us. Why bother with all this trouble?"
"Idiot! Since we came to Tokyo, our movements have been restricted everywhere, and you haven't even thought about it?" Lin Chengren cursed with a sullen expression, gnashing his teeth. "I bought intelligence from the black market. It seems those government lackeys from the Special Branch have sought help from people in Tokyo. Can you guarantee that there aren't any spatial psychics among them, or anyone who can track us? We were able to escape in time last time thanks to the early warning information provided by the company I bought the intelligence from."
Yuyin, pretending to be timid, listened to their conversation and her heart moved.
The fact that she had found Senior Gojo who could track teleportation, and even Scepter 4, should have been known to only the director, Senior Awashima, and Fushimi beforehand. The three of them would definitely not leak the secret, so the "Tokyo side" here should refer to Scepter 4.
But even so, the information dealer who knows Scepter 4's movements and its cooperation with Yiteke should not be underestimated. Yuyin went through some of the well-known information dealers and tried to guess who it was, but due to the complexity of the fusion world, she had no definite clue for the time being.
It would be better if Lin Chengren and the others said more and revealed more characteristics of the other party, Yuyin thought silently. From what they said just now, it seemed that the other party was involved in their escape from Mr. Anwu and Fushimi and the others last time.
This person is likely at odds with Scepter 4 or the Xenomorphs. Someone from Jungle? An outsider dissatisfied with Scepter 4? A psychic who's opposed to the Xenomorphs?
Although the scope has been narrowed, there are still many suspects.
The tall, sturdy man was scolded by Lin Chengren, his face looking grim. However, their repeated successes were all due to Lin Chengren's special ability, [Traps]. He tried hard to suppress his emotions, and his thin accomplice weakly advised, "Alright, Kamei, let's do as Lin tells us."
Kamei finally found an outlet for his anger and pushed the skinny man hard: "Gaoshan, stop bossing me around. Hurry up and get the rope. If you can't handle this little thing quickly, why would our gang keep you as a burden?"
Gao Shan lowered his head, as if accustomed to this kind of treatment. Nuo Nuo agreed and turned to the other side to get the ropes and other tools he had prepared long ago. After venting his dissatisfaction, Kamei quickly regained his composure and said to Lin Chengren in a gentle voice, "I'll go check outside. Start the car and come over. You take care of Ren Lin. As for the kidnapping, let Gao Shan do it. He's the best at this kind of rough work."
Lin Chengren's mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but he finally nodded and urged, "Okay, hurry up, we need to move quickly."
Yuyin took advantage of the fact that their attention was not on her while they were talking and secretly looked at the three of them. She matched the two surnames, Kamei and Gaoshan, with the tall and short faces. When she saw Lin Chengren's gaze turned back, she naturally lowered her head.
Let's wait a little longer and see if we can find more clues before Senior Gojo and Fushimi come knocking on our door.
