Chapter 083 Killer Simulator
The door outside the hall was about to be knocked open. The laughter and joy from shaking dice upstairs seemed a little weird. Ji Xu felt the invalid warning button from the corpse. He threw away the useless thing and just as he stood up, the door was suddenly knocked open.
A group of people rushed in shouting "Don't move!"
The bodyguards and security personnel in suits looked solemn, with large-caliber shells and machine guns pointed directly at him, while the waiters who used to move among the crowd had tranquilizer bullets and stun guns tucked under their vests and shirts. The trays were transformed into bulletproof materials, and they looked at the corpses on the street stalls, and then at the strange young man standing in front of them.
“…”
Ji Xu raised his hands, slowly took a half step back, and stepped over the corpse under his feet.
The people outside the door did not take action immediately. In fact, they were extremely confused and restless about the body lying in the room. The boss had just given a speech in the crowd and went into his private suite two minutes later. Within ten seconds, the alarm they were equipped suddenly vibrated wildly. The boss, who was supposed to stay at the bow, died here inexplicably.
The late substitute ran over from the other end of the corridor, "The person inside is a killer! Shoot!!"
No matter which boss's orders were, they just had to obey them. Countless bullets were fired inside, and the wooden tables and chairs were immediately smashed into pieces. Ji Xu held the corpse in front of him to block it, and rushed into the crowd without even looking and fired.
Bang, bang, bang…
The bullets were soon used up. There were only seventeen rounds in the standard Groc, which was not enough at all. Ji Xu grabbed a waiter's wrist neatly and knocked the waiter down with the handle of the gun. The waiter was forced to loosen his fingers. Ji Xu seized the opportunity to throw the body out. The group of people subconsciously rushed up to rescue, but were smashed into a mess by the body. Ji Xu turned the power to maximum and at the same time picked up the red wine on the cabinet in the entrance hall and knocked it against the wall. The instrument with crackling arc light was thrown at one of them.
“Ahhh—”
The dripping wet team was immediately knocked down by the high-intensity electric current and fell to the ground struggling in pain.
Ji Xu seized the opportunity to leave the encirclement. He held the double's hands hostage, and the dinner knife slipped out of his sleeve. He pressed against his neck and said, "Let them leave."
The stand-in was very calm: "My order is useless. Only the real owner has that warning button."
The person behind him seemed to smile: "But he died, and you lived."
The Stand was silent for a long time, "I understand."
The killer's intention was obvious. No one knew about the substitute plan, and the security department didn't dare to shoot at the corpse. Naturally, they were also cautious about the killer who was holding hostages. The situation became deadlocked, and he became the key.
It's just something to call the security forces. Living people are always more worthy of respect than objects.
The Stand-in said slowly: "Let him leave."
"boss?!"
"The key is electronic blood. Do we need to call Ultra Brain Research to verify?" The stand-in said sullenly, "Saimu hasn't shown up yet. Obviously, they broke the agreement."
Ji Xu took him back to the escape passage. This time no one took action. He followed the two of them closely, fifty meters away. The sound of gunshots and bullets flying just now reached the deck. The cruise ship was shaking slightly, causing everyone who was playing to become uneasy. They grabbed the service staff to ask questions. The well-trained waiters were comforting the guests and checking the number of people present.
The escape exit was very close to the deck. The sound of inspection and questioning could be heard faintly, mixed with the guests discussing the safety risks of the cruise ship. Ji Xu let go of his hand, and before leaving, he whispered in the hostage's ear: "Instead of wasting time figuring out how to track me, it's better to find a way to escape as soon as possible."
The Stand suddenly realized something, grabbed him in return, and gritted his teeth: "What do you mean? ! ! "
Ji Xu pushed away his hand that was so tense that it turned pale, "The words mean what they say."
The stand-in was so anxious that he didn't care about anything else. His face turned pale and he grabbed his sleeve again. "I know who you are! But I heard that you only kill targets who accept orders. Even the researchers of the artificial oasis Adonis escaped, so I accepted the order. Are you going to attack the more than 6,000 people on the ship now?"
"Who I kill has nothing to do with you. But you are wrong about one thing. I didn't destroy this ship."
The cruise ship was shaking more and more violently. Although no one was banging on the door to chase it, there was no sign of it stopping. It seemed to be sinking and rising with the invisible waves of the night. Ji Xu knocked on the light metal cabin with his fingers. The slight vibration seemed to be transmitted along the frame to the keel. The fuel tanks and ballast water below were ready to move, and the sound of the gates opening was drowned out by the vast ocean.
"The power of the shells is really great."
He looked back and said, "But it's not enough to shake a 300-ton cruise ship."
…
When the stand-in suddenly turned around and directed the security team to check the lifeboat, Ji Xu escaped as he wished. No. 8 listened to the whole process from some point on. After hearing this, he asked him in a good mood: "Don't tell him the truth?"
"That's the truth."
"Don't think I didn't see the number you dialed to the rescue organization earlier." He said speechlessly, "I prepared this phone for you. I can see who you call in the background."
"Then please erase the record."
Number 8 rolled his eyes: "Do you think I didn't apply it? Otherwise they might not come tomorrow."
Ji Xu ignored him and went down to the first floor through the escape passage. There was also a deck here, which was where he boarded the ship to enjoy the scenery in the morning. As the turbulence became more and more violent, waves hit the deck one after another. The parasols and small round tables that had been set up were swept away by the sea water. Other guests who did not attend the dinner were scared and left here. Now there was only the horrible nature.
"When will the rescue organization arrive?" Ji Xu asked.
"Ten minutes or so." Number 8 didn't care. He knew this would be a near miss. "Such a large ship will take half an hour to sink. I just hacked into the internal communications of the cruise ship. The stand-in has already ordered the casino staff to take the guests off the deck to avoid being thrown off. They plan to set the waiting place on the fourteenth floor, which is where you will assassinate."
He asked again: "Why don't you leave? The water will flood us."
Ji Xu estimated the time: "There's still time. I'll leave when the rescue team is almost here."
In less than ten minutes, the front-line troops came to investigate. There were not enough rescue tools on Crow Island, so the helicopter that was used to kill Ji Xu came with a red banner hanging on it to make up the number. Its flying speed was faster than No. 8 had estimated. The moment it shone its head down, the area below suddenly became as bright as day. Ji Xu, who was climbing upstairs as the sea level rose, was almost dazzled by the light. He silently hid in a corner that was not flooded.
Rescuers used a loudspeaker to lean over the propellers and yell, "What's going on?!"
Several people from the security force came to the deck to contact them. The rescuer took a look, turned around and threw a communicator. The electricity beeped, and No. 8 silently grafted their communication channel into Ji Xu's headphones.
The cruise ship's security team hesitated for a few seconds: "All personnel are organized, there is no shortage... It should be considered that there are two missing?"
Rescue organization: “What the hell is going on!”
"Let's assume that there is no shortage of people. The situation is good. Apart from the accidental abandonment of the lifeboat and the power failure, several guests were injured in the stampede. The ship's doctor has already bandaged them."
The rescue organization murmured very loudly: "You called the police too early! We sent you several communication requests for review, but no one answered!"
The people on the cruise ship didn’t understand: “What??”
"No big deal, hurry up and get in line, other boats and helicopters will be here soon!"
After confirming that the cruise ship had indeed suffered an accident, the helicopter immediately notified the headquarters, and the regular troops who were ready to go rushed over immediately. The usually quiet sea surface became more lively than a vegetable market, and many dolphins and fish were attracted and jumped out of the sea to watch.
Before the rescue organization surrounded the place, Ji Xu quietly left.
He turned on the locator: "Here, come pick me up."
