The young alpha brushed past Lan Yu and stopped beside the corpse.
Although he didn't even glance at herself during the entire process, Lan Yu knew, with an excellent actor's ability to understand and observe the character, that this person definitely knew her.
Who would look at all the hostages but ignore one officer whose uniform is particularly eye-catching, and treat him as if he were a piece of air?
——What's more, this officer has an extraordinary temperament and handsome appearance, and his skin is as smooth as white jade after using the facial mask.
K looks exactly like himself, with a face that drives everyone crazy.
Even though his ferocity and brutality would make people ignore his appearance, it would not make people unwilling to even take a look at him.
To sum up, this person knew K, but we didn’t know their specific relationship.
However, according to K's normal interpersonal standards, they are either enemies or rivals.
Everyone remained silent, watching the young man's actions.
He squatted down and stretched out his fingers to press the exposed skin of the corpse.
There was no flesh under the skin, and it looked very hard. He twisted up the wrinkled green skin again.
The green skin was stretched out very long and thin, and you could see the light coming through from the other side. It was covered with wet mucus.
"The Longte people dominated the entire Sasu galaxy hundreds of years ago. Our Sasu main star and its subsidiary stars were all occupied by them. Of course, this also includes the Kata star under our feet right now." The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the green skin in his hand, and said in a low, magnetic voice.
"I know. It's in the history textbooks. We fought with the Longte people for many years before we regained our sovereignty and drove them out of the Sasu system."
Someone was interrupting. Lan Yu glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and saw a short beta hostage wearing thick-bottomed glasses.
The young man asked without even looking up, "The birth rate of the Lonte people is very low, and the entire race only has tens of thousands of people. Do you know how they occupied the Sasu galaxy, which has a population of billions?"
"This..." The short hostage was unable to answer, "It's not mentioned in the textbook."
"Come here..." He hooked his finger.
The little man stepped forward, and the young man let go of the skin he had picked up, pressed his finger on his temple, and said, "The Longte people can invade your spiritual realm, first seize your body, and then slowly devour your spiritual body. When your consciousness disappears, the skin will become his."
His voice was very low and his expression was very strange, which made people around him shudder.
The little man stepped back several steps, shook off the cold finger, and covered his temples with his hands, as if the Lonte alien was about to drill into his brain.
"You're talking nonsense. It's not even in the book." He raised his voice to hide his fear. "You made this up to scare us."
The young man said nonchalantly, "When the Lonte people get into your body one day, and your consciousness gradually blurs and you gradually lose control of your body, you will understand."
"When your consciousness is still intact, you can see him wearing your skin, dating your girlfriend or boyfriend, eating the food your mother cooked for you, drinking from your cup, and working for you. When you take a shower at night, his true face will be revealed in the mirror. But what can you do then? You can only watch helplessly..."
He used his hands to pretend to tear off the mask, and with a ferocious expression, even if the others didn't believe it, they secretly gasped.
“How scary! Don’t scare us like this…” Several timid omegas huddled together, their voices trembling.
Only Lan Yu had a gloomy face and remained expressionless.
Because he didn't pay any attention to what these people were saying, his whole mind was attracted by the young alpha's slender fingers.
He pressed the green man's body... When he lifted the skin, there was green slime on his fingers... He poked the beta hostage's temples, also staining the skin there with a little green... He rubbed his two fingers together, and seemed to feel uncomfortable...
Seeing that everyone was frightened, the young man stood up with satisfaction and took out a gray ball of cloth from his pocket. Lan Yu looked closely and found that it was a wrinkled cotton handkerchief whose original color could not be seen clearly.
The young man stretched out his fingers, rubbed the ball of cloth twice, rolled it up, and then casually put it back into his pocket.
Lan Yu: ...
The hall returned to silence. No one spoke. The only sound was the policeman at the bottom of the stairs directing the moving of cement slabs.
"There's a big piece here that needs machinery to lift it up."
"Where can we get the machinery here? Bring a few more people to help us move it."
Lan Yu glanced at her feet and was about to walk away quietly, away from the green corpse, when she heard a sudden dripping sound from the crowd.
"Ah! What happened? My bomb lit up." Someone pointed at his chest and shouted nervously.
Others also lowered their heads: "Mine is lit up too, with numbers on it."
"And mine, mine has numbers too, what happened?"
The screens of the bombs still tied to the hostages' chests lit up instantly, making rapid, low humming sounds.
Beep, beep.
A row of bright red numbers began to jump on the display.
09:59
09:58
09:57
"Time bomb! This is a time bomb!" A middle-aged man screamed in fear and reached out to pull the bomb bag hanging on his chest. "The time bomb has been activated!"
The bombs were tied to their bodies with three layers of wide tape. At first, they didn't dare to touch them, for fear that they would explode by accident. They wanted to wait for the police to come before taking them away.
Now seeing the self-destruct device starting to activate, they didn't care about anything else and everyone began to frantically tear off the tape on their bodies.
Those who were not carrying bombs rushed to the escalator. A few of them tried their best to drag the concrete slabs that were blocking the escalator, while the rest looked for places to hide when the explosion occurred.
Beep, beep.
The timer kept counting down and everyone was in chaos.
Someone found a storage room in the farthest corner. The person dragging the cement board dropped what he was holding and ran over, starting to squeeze into the storage room.
There were only ten people with bombs hanging on them left in the entire hall, standing there howling and tearing off the tape, as well as Lan Yu and the young alpha.
Lan Yu didn't know what to do now.
He has played the role of a bomb disposal expert. He was holding the bomb, sweating, and hesitating between the blue line and the red line. Finally, he closed his eyes and cut a random line, and the timer was turned off.
But this is not a movie, and looking at the bomb bag, it is completely naked and integrated, with no blue or red lines for him to choose from.
He glanced towards the storage room, wondering whether he should squeeze in there as well.
"Why are you still standing there like an idiot?" A young man's voice came from behind.
Lan Yu turned her head and saw the man taking off his windbreaker. He looked serious, in contrast to his previous nonchalant look.
He wasn't sure if he was being talked to, so he kept silent.
The young man spread his windbreaker on the ground, looked up at him, and asked sharply, "Are you stupid?"
"Hmph!" Lan Yu didn't know what he wanted to do, so she could only snort coldly.
The man took out a dagger from somewhere, dragged a hostage over, cut the tape with a few strokes, took out the bomb package, and carefully placed it on the spread-out windbreaker.
The hostage whose bomb was removed felt like he had been reborn, and ran towards the storage room at the other end of the hall like the wind.
Lan Yu immediately understood what he meant and pulled out the dagger from his waist.
The remaining hostages stopped crying and quickly divided into two lines and lined up in front of them.
"Did you bring the simulation tape?" the man asked without raising his head while cutting the tape.
Lan Yu was removing the bomb from a hostage's chest when she saw the numbers on it suddenly start to flash wildly. She replied coldly, "No..."
I've never seen a mockup, nor heard of one.
"You fucking——" The young man suddenly turned his head, looked at the bomb and shouted, then flew over and slapped a silver-white metal patch on the bomb.
The numbers on the bomb stopped flashing and the countdown continued.
"Crazy K, don't you know that this liquid bomb will explode once it leaves the human body?" The young man asked through gritted teeth as he carefully placed the bomb on his windbreaker.
Lan Yu's heart nearly jumped out of her throat. Her hands and feet went limp with fear, but her face remained expressionless.
"I know..." he said.
The young man looked up at him, his handsome eyes full of anger, "Very good, you're going crazy and don't even want to die, what do you want?"
Lan Yu turned pale and pulled the person in front of her, holding back her shaking hands as she cut his tape, saying, "Just for fun..."
Something flew towards him and he reached out to catch it. It was a few pieces of metal that had just been stuck on the bomb.
"Hurry up..." said the man.
Lan Yu took out a piece of paper and stuck it on the bomb, then put it inside the windbreaker on the ground and said in a hoarse voice, "Next one, hurry up."
The bombs were quickly removed and all the hostages crowded into the small storage room. In the silent hall, there was only the ticking sound of the bomb countdown and the rapid breathing of the two people.
The numbers jumping on the bomb showed that there were six minutes left until explosion.
"Don't worry, sit down and wait. Take a deep breath and calm yourself down. We are cleaning the cement slabs as quickly as possible. It will be safe soon..."
The police, separated by concrete slabs, had no idea what was happening above and were shouting through a loudspeaker.
Lan Yu looked at the pile of bombs in her windbreaker and wanted to ask if she could hide in the storage room now.
But before he could open his mouth, the young man's words successfully shut him up.
"This pile of bombs could destroy half the street. It would be too late for everyone to evacuate."
Lan Yu felt a darkness before her eyes.
The young man quickly tied the ends and sleeves of his windbreaker into knots, making a bundle as big as a quilt roll.
He stood up, put the heavy bag of bombs on his shoulders, pointed at Lan Yu, and said, "Throw it outside the city and take turns carrying it."
Before Lan Yu understood what this sentence meant, she saw him rushing towards the glass window that was pierced by the ion cannon and leaping out with the bomb bag on his shoulder.
He landed on the cactus thorns that were hanging horizontally, and leaped forward along the edge of the mall.
This is a real madman!
Lan Yu closed her eyes.
We can only try our best.
He took a deep breath, then jumped out of the glass window, landed steadily on a cactus thorn, and chased the young man carrying the bomb.
