Chapter 2 The man's hand was held in Gu Sheng's hand, although...
The man's hand was held in Gu Sheng's hand. Although he didn't utter a sound, the cold sweat on his forehead and his pale face betrayed him.
The man's breathing became heavier; he seemed to be trying to pull his hand away, but he failed several times.
Gu Sheng's hand gripped him like a pair of pliers.
Gu Sheng didn't feel that he had used much force; he didn't even notice the man's struggle.
He was just curious why the man wasn't moving.
Gu Sheng looked at the man and said again, "I've never seen you before, and I don't know what this headquarters you're talking about is."
The man looked into Gu Sheng's eyes, but saw no emotional fluctuation in them.
Looking into those familiar eyes, the man was reminded of some unpleasant memories.
If Gu Sheng knew what the man was thinking, he would definitely say, "Is that because there are no emotional fluctuations? It's because the fluctuations are so great that it looks like there are no fluctuations at all."
The man reminisced about the past.
In the man's memory, Gu Sheng was an extremely cold-blooded person who would casually kill ordinary people who stumbled upon him on a mission, not even sparing children.
The boss recognized Gu Sheng's abilities and assigned him to deal with those who betrayed the organization.
Gu Sheng did this job very well. No matter who he faced or how difficult the task was, Gu Sheng never failed.
Anyone in the organization could talk about Gu Sheng's deeds for a whole day and night.
The most famous of these is the story of Gu Sheng single-handedly taking down the entire branch.
The organization has no name; there are many such nameless organizations in the world.
The men in the organization were in the arms business; they produced and sold weapons, and their boss only allowed them to do that.
One day, the organization's leader discovered that one of his outposts was secretly engaged in human trafficking, so he ordered the entire outpost to be shut down.
The mission was assigned to Gu Sheng. The organization leader's intention was for Gu Sheng to lead some of the organization's elite forces to take down the stronghold without anyone noticing.
The task was completed quickly.
Surprisingly, Gu Sheng didn't call on anyone else and completed the task all by himself.
It is said that he didn't even carry a gun.
He infiltrated the traitor's stronghold with his bare hands, cleared out the entire stronghold, and left unscathed.
No one knows how Gu Sheng did it, and no one wants to know.
Because those who know about it usually don't have a good ending.
Gu Sheng did the most hated job in the organization, and many people in the organization resented him.
Someone once sought revenge and came all the way to the headquarters.
That man was a henchman of another outpost leader, who had been punished for selling weapons to clients not on the list without authorization.
The leader of that stronghold seemed to have done this underling a favor.
My underlings, strapped with explosives, infiltrated headquarters, intending to take them all down with him.
However, before he could ignite the explosives, Gu Sheng discovered him and swiftly dealt with him.
Gu Sheng quickly disposed of the bomb, leaving no trace.
The man's body was dismembered in public by Gu Sheng.
Those who witnessed that scene were left with immense psychological trauma. Unfortunately, the man was standing right next to Gu Sheng and watched the entire process.
The man clearly remembered that Gu Sheng's expression back then was exactly the same as it was now.
The man's dismembered body remained in the headquarters lobby for three days until the boss couldn't stand it anymore and ordered it to be removed.
From then on, everyone in the organization reached a consensus: do not become Gu Sheng's enemy; if you unfortunately become Gu Sheng's enemy, then run as far away as possible.
The man's approach to Gu Sheng this time was actually out of necessity.
After the organization was destroyed, the man gathered a group of people under the pretext of avenging their boss.
He originally intended to use these people to develop his own power.
However, things didn't go as planned. The man actually found out who was the culprit who destroyed the organization, and that culprit was none other than Gu Sheng.
The man was the one who spoke the words, and now that we know who the murderer is, we can't just do nothing.
Although the man wanted to let the matter pass by by ignoring it, his underlings clearly weren't buying it.
Those who were brought here by the man were all people who had received favors from the boss and would not let go of the opportunity to avenge him.
The man, who had been held up by his men, acted impulsively and came.
However, the moment he saw Gu Sheng, those terrifying scenes from the past instantly flooded back into the man's mind.
The man immediately regretted it, but since things had already come to this point, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue.
The only thing that left the man speechless was that when his men came down, they all made grand pronouncements, vowing to torture Gu Sheng to death, but when the time came, they were all cowards, watching helplessly as Gu Sheng held him down, and not one of them dared to pull the trigger.
Gu Sheng had no idea what the man was thinking; he was just wondering why the man had fallen silent again.
The man seemed to be here for revenge? Although Gu Sheng had no idea what kind of revenge he wanted.
However, apart from making a few harsh remarks, the man doesn't seem to have done anything else since he appeared.
Gu Sheng gradually calmed down, and his initial panic subsided.
He silently surveyed his surroundings, looking for an opportunity to escape.
He needs to buy as much time as possible before he can successfully escape.
Gu Sheng applied a little force with his hand, and then he heard a "crack" sound, along with a muffled groan from the man.
The people around became even more nervous, constantly moving their guns, seemingly wanting to fire but afraid to.
The man glared at his subordinates with exasperation. Although Gu Sheng had a bad reputation, they now had guns in their hands. Did they think Gu Sheng could be faster than a bullet?
Gu Sheng looked at the man with a pained expression and showed a puzzled look.
Gu Sheng had no idea that he had broken the other person's wrist.
He was just using a little force, trying to attract the other person's attention.
Gu Sheng looked at the man and said, "I really don't know you. You must have the wrong person." He said it very firmly, because he certainly couldn't admit that he was the person the man was looking for.
The man gasped for breath, temporarily abandoning his idea of pulling his hand away from Gu Sheng's.
His underlings were still watching him, and he couldn't show any fear.
The man waved his hand, signaling the others to move closer.
The gun was pressed against Gu Sheng's head.
Gu Sheng swallowed hard; he felt like he was doomed.
The people around him gave the man confidence; with so many guns pointed at him, he didn't believe Gu Sheng could fight back.
He could have ordered the shooting as soon as he entered the living room; otherwise, Gu Sheng would have been dead long ago.
However, the man wanted to establish his authority in front of his underlings, so Gu Sheng had to die at his hands.
The man sneered, "Even if you turn to ashes, I will not mistake you."
After saying that, the man suddenly drew the gun from his waist; his movement was swift.
To have so many people follow him, he must have some strength.
However, Gu Sheng was faster.
Gu Sheng was so fast that even he himself didn't have time to react.
By the time Gu Sheng realized what he had done, the man's other arm had already fallen limply to his side, and the gun in the man's hand was now in Gu Sheng's hand, pressed against the man's chin.
The man stared at Gu Sheng in shock.
Gu Sheng was also shocked. His hand moved on its own; he hadn't done anything!
He even tried to pull the trigger, but he reacted in time and stopped.
Gu Sheng was very surprised; he had no idea he was so capable.
Gu Sheng was conflicted, holding the gun. He didn't want to kill anyone, but if he let the man go like this, he definitely wouldn't let it go.
What should I do?
Just as Gu Sheng was struggling with his decision, the man couldn't take it anymore. In his mind, Gu Sheng would never let him go, and if he didn't kill Gu Sheng now, he would be the one to die.
The man yelled at his men, "What are you all standing there for? Shoot!"
Those surrounding Gu Sheng looked at each other, hesitant to fire.
The man's eyes widened, his voice trembling with anger: "He's all alone, with just one gun. Are you afraid you can't beat him? Shoot!"
Gu Xiu was also puzzled. Were these people surrounding him just there to watch the show? They held guns and remained motionless.
However, upon meeting Gu Sheng's gaze, the group collectively took a step back, their faces filled with terror, and one of them even began to tremble.
As the man retreated, he said in a tearful voice, "He forced me to come. I did not betray you, Mr. Gu. Please don't kill me."
Gu Sheng was speechless. Who killed whom? Did he look that scary? He had frightened people like this.
Silence fell over the living room once again.
The trembling gunman, seemingly unable to bear the heavy atmosphere any longer, closed his eyes, raised his gun, and shouted, "I don't want to die, I didn't mean to!" He was about to pull the trigger.
The man whose hand was being held by Gu Sheng opened his eyes wide and shouted, "You better watch out, don't shoot me!" However, his worries were unnecessary.
"Bang"
"Bang"
Two gunshots rang out simultaneously.
The shot was fired by Gu Sheng. It hit the gunman in the left chest. The gunman was wearing a bulletproof vest, so the shot was not fatal.
The other shot was fired by someone standing in the corner; it hit the gunman squarely in the temple, killing him instantly.
The man whose hand was being held by Gu Sheng stared in shock at the fallen gunman, then looked at the person in the corner. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but before he could speak, there was another "bang".
The man fell down.
Then, before anyone else could react, several more gunshots rang out.
Soon, only Gu Sheng and the person who fired the shot remained in the living room.
What does it feel like when a person is terrified to the extreme?
Gu Sheng didn't know what would happen to others; he only knew that when he was terrified to the extreme, his fear would disappear, and all other emotions would vanish as well.
Gu Sheng's heart suddenly became unusually calm, and he even had the mind to observe the wounds of the man who had already lost his breath.
Then, Gu Sheng let go of his hand and casually pushed the man aside.
Gu Sheng looked indifferently at the person who fired the shot.
He thought the man would also shoot him.
To Gu Sheng's surprise, the man put the gun away, took off his mask, and sat in the spot where the man had just been sitting.
Gu Sheng remained silent.
The man clearly recognized Gu Sheng, and he seemed to think that Gu Sheng also recognized him.
The person who fired the shot ignored Gu Sheng's silence and said, "This is to repay you."
He chuckled: "You're still so stubborn, unwilling to kill easily."
Gu Xiu couldn't tell if he was mocking him or just smiling.
However, Gu Sheng really wanted to say, what do you mean by not being willing to kill easily? He has never killed anyone, okay?
In both his past and present lives, Gu Sheng has only ever killed one fish, and he failed in the end. Later, Gu Sheng raised the fish that he didn't kill.
Before Gu Sheng traveled through time, the fish was still alive.
Gu Sheng had previously felt that life in this world was quite good, with no worries about food or drink, but after this incident, he started to miss home and wondered if the fish was still alive.
Right now, Gu Sheng just wants the system to respond to him and send him back to his original world.
The man couldn't hear Gu Sheng's inner thoughts, so he said, "They think you killed all the 'traitors'."
Gu Sheng looked at that person.
traitor?
According to the bearded man, Gu Sheng used to deal with traitors, so this man is here for revenge?
However, judging from his tone, he didn't seem to be there for revenge.
The man continued, "The boss trusted you so much, how could he have imagined that you would leave behind some 'traitors' as witnesses to their trial? You let me go that time, this time, I'll repay you, and we're even."
