Chapter 66: One of Two Classics
After confirming that all the kidnappers were dead, Xin Que cleaned up her tracks before heading to the location where she had hidden the hostages before the gunfight.
She finally relaxed a bit and steadily walked from the second floor to the fifth floor.
As soon as she stepped over the first floor, Xin Que's body suddenly sank.
It's already 2 a.m.
The abandoned factory was located in a desolate wilderness, and in the dead of night, the silence was even more terrifying.
Xin Que confirmed that all her opponents had fallen to her guns and blades.
But for some reason, her body involuntarily tensed up.
All I could hear were the chirping of insects among the wild grass and vegetation outside the window, and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
After a long while, the sound of vehicles passing by in the distance could be heard, but soon silence returned.
The staircase shrouded in darkness in front of Xin Que seemed to change in an instant.
In his battles with Ma Hong's gang, Xin Que ran up and down these stairs countless times.
No more, no less, a total of sixteen levels.
But now.
When Xin Que stepped onto the eighteenth step, she stood in front of the familiar factory entrance.
The space has undergone a slight change.
Xin Que subconsciously thought that she had been pulled into the plot space again.
But this time the situation is different from the previous storylines.
Luo Huayi did not appear, leaving her alone in the entire factory.
Xin Que gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, stepped into the fifth-floor factory, and slowly walked in the opposite direction of the faint light from the temporary light fixtures that Ma Hong and his men had set up when they were stationed there.
There were no other sounds.
They were unaware of other crises.
But Xin Que just couldn't relax.
She hid the hostage, who was completely covered by a sack, behind a low wall.
Xin Que suddenly felt a dull pain in her brain.
Her alarm bells rang, and she immediately looked up at the dilapidated window, scanning her surroundings.
The factory building that originally stood alone here, with dark nights, trees, and open spaces outside its windows, now looks as if several of them have been suddenly copied by some force.
Outside the window were densely packed buildings, exactly the same as the factory building where Xin Que was located.
The night was completely obscured.
Xin Que saw the dilapidated windows of the abandoned factories across the street, and the equally dark and bottomless darkness, and her heart sank.
Was she tricked by the plot again?
Seeing the man curled up on the ground not far away, covered by a sack, Xin Que stopped in her tracks.
Was it not Song Wangyuan who was kidnapped, but Luo Huayi?!
Who would you like to be curled up there?
Xin Que seemed to hear a vague but discernible voice, and immediately looked around.
"who?!"
She shouted sternly.
No one responded.
Only her own echo reverberated in the empty factory.
Xin Que shifted her gaze back to the man huddled in the corner.
What do you mean by "who does she hope is curled up there"?
Does she think she can have her wishes fulfilled, that whoever she desires will be there?!
wrong.
Xin Que had never heard any human voices when she was pulled into the story space before.
At most, it will be textual hints about the plot.
Xin Que inexplicably thought of the humanoid gibberish she had seen on Chen Zheng earlier.
She slowly approached the man huddled in the corner.
The blood-stained military knife slowly pierced the sack on the man's body.
"Sizzle."
The sack was slit open by the sharp blade, and one could vaguely feel the blade gliding across the skin.
Just as Xin Que was about to lift the sack that had been cut open, a terrifying tremor suddenly came from beneath her feet, as if the ground was collapsing.
Boom—
After the earthquake, Xin Que suddenly lost control of his body, and the ground beneath his feet cracked open with lightning speed, causing the entire factory building to collapse inch by inch into darkness.
No, not just the building she was in.
As if the point beneath her feet were the center, the factory buildings that had been replicated by the space around her also collapsed and crumbled, falling towards her.
As Xin Que fell, she saw countless bricks and rubble crashing down on her. The bodies of the man whose face was covered by a sack, Ma Hong and his brother, and the bodies of his underlings also fell in the direction she was falling.
Xin Que's eyes widened suddenly.
Ma Hong's dismembered body was stitched back together by a data chain that appeared out of nowhere at a speed visible to the naked eye.
[A program vulnerability has been detected. System is currently fixing it.]
...
"Chang Qin!!! You're the one who killed my brother?!" A man's rough, furious roar came from not far away.
Xin Que suddenly opened her eyes.
She was still holding her familiar military knife in her hand.
Suddenly standing in bright light from darkness, the dim sunlight stung her eyes.
Subconsciously raising her hand to shield her eyes to adjust, Xin Que realized after a while that she was standing on a vacant lot overgrown with weeds in front of the abandoned factory building.
Ma Hong, who had come back from the dead, stood by the window on the fifth floor, glaring angrily at himself.
Xin Que finally processed the information she had just encountered.
Mahon's death was corrected in the plot.
This is the first time Xin Que has directly witnessed a scene where the plot intervenes to repair her character.
Those data links...
Xin Que looked up at Ma Hong.
The man's face was contorted with desperation, and he was dragging something toward the window, yelling, "You fucking pushed me to this point, I'll make sure you get what's coming to you!!!"
As he spoke, Ma Hong pushed forward the things he was holding in his left and right hands.
Luo Huayi and Song Wangyuan were pulled out, their upper bodies hanging precariously outside the window frame that no longer had glass.
Xin Que: "???"
She had a bad feeling.
"Dude," Xin Que was almost losing control of her expression; her lips twitched, and she nearly dropped her military knife, "Your next sentence isn't going to be..."
Xin Que and Ma Hong spoke in unison.
"Only one of Luo Huayi and Song Wangyuan can live. Choose?"
Ma Hong “…”
That's not right.
If he has the skill to kidnap someone and force them to choose between two options, why doesn't he just go downstairs and fight them directly?
No, no, no.
Why does it feel like a part of my memory is missing?
"What the hell do you care what I'm saying?!" Ma Hong couldn't understand what was wrong with his memory. He was furious, his muscles tense with rage, looking like a wild beast out of control. "Stop talking nonsense!!! Who do you choose to live?!"
Without even blinking, Xin Que ordered Ma Hong to do her job, "Buddy, adjust the position, yes, make the hostages head down, yes, yes, let go! Neither of them should live!"
Ma Hong “…”
Where's his gun? He's going to blow this arrogant, taunting kid's head off!
"Do you think I wouldn't dare kill anyone?!" Ma Hong's eyes were bloodshot and his expression ferocious. "Let me tell you, if you don't choose them, both of them will die with you!!!"
Xin Que "..."
"You fucking bastard, get up here!" Ma Hong shouted until his throat was almost hoarse. "Useless!"
Xin Que sheathed her military knife, put her hands on her hips, and said, "I'll go up if you kill those two guys you're holding!"
Ma Hong broke down on the spot, yelling, "You son of a bitch, you're even more of a beast than me, a kidnapper?!"
