Qian Xin stepped on the accelerator again.
Using the walkie-talkie, Jing Fei had already started shouting through the loudspeaker, “To the people inside, listen up. You’re already surrounded. Put down the knife and come out yourself. You can bargain for a lighter trial!”
A life was at stake. There was no time for stealth. If they continued hiding, the hostage would be killed!
Jing Fei’s actions were not intended to expose them but to delay the murderer from making the kill.
Following this, Qian Xin’s car stopped at the entrance of the neighborhood. As it had been going too fast, it made a sharp screeching sound!
Just as the car stopped, Xue Xi quickly pushed open the car door and alighted. She rushed to the entrance of the building.
The surrounding espers were already lurking around, waiting for an opportunity. They were just waiting for Jing Fei’s order to rush into the building to save the hostage.
Jing Fei was currently floating in the air by the window, confronting the person inside.
Xue Xi was a little farther away and could see the murderer and the hostage standing on the balcony.
Unexpectedly, this serial murderer called Liu Tao did not have a fierce look. Instead, he was fair and looked tender. He even had on a pair of gla.s.ses and did not dare to meet people’s eyes. He was a little evasive and looked timid.
The hostage he was holding had a big belly and a fierce-looking face. Compared to him, Liu Tao appeared more like the victim.
However, the burly man’s hands and feet were tied to the chair. Ropes were wrapped around his body. Although Liu Tao was skinny, he held a sharp knife in his hand and had placed it on the hostage’s neck.
Hearing Jing Fei’s voice, he slowly looked up. His lowered eyes were filled with madness and stupefaction.
He even slowly smiled and said provocatively, “You guys are here?”
These words!
It seemed he had been waiting for them!
Xue Xi looked up at the second floor. At this moment, the surrounding people had been chased away by the police. Moreover, Jing Fei had an invisibility device on him. Other than espers, ordinary people could not see him floating in the air.
Outside the neighborhood, there was a warning tape. Ordinary people could not enter and were pointing inside.
Xue Xi could even hear those people saying:
“I heard that the serial murderer is here!”
“Oh my G.o.d, it’s too dangerous!”
“Can the police arrest the murderer?”
“Of course. There are so many people. No matter how formidable that murderer is, two fists can’t beat four hands.”
“…”
No one knew how fierce this murderer was.
Time freeze…
This was such a powerful special ability. In other words, as long as Liu Tao hit pause, time and s.p.a.ce would stop. During this pause, he could kill as many people as he wanted!
These ordinary people who were watching the commotion really did not know how dangerous this place was.
These people did not believe the words of the person who was doing the dispelling work outside.
Xue Xi ignored this and stared at the murderer on the second floor.
Jing Fei was speaking to the murderer. “Yes, we’re here. Liu Tao, human lives are precious. Don’t make any more mistakes!”
Liu Tao’s face turned pale as he sneered. “How important could the fate of these people be? There are so many ordinary mortals. So what if a few die? Hahaha…”
Jing Fei shouted, “We were also once mortals before we awakened our special powers. We used to be one of them. Our parents and siblings are also ordinary people. Are their lives worthless?”
Liu Tao smiled. “My relatives… I killed them all.”
Jing Fei naturally knew that Liu Tao had killed all his relatives. This was also the reason why he was immediately sentenced to death. What was the point of keeping a bad person who had lost his humanity alive?
It was impossible to reason with such a person.
Jing Fei frowned and started to goad him. “You seemed to have expected us to come, so staying here is a provocation to us, right?”
Liu Tao sneered. “That’s right. If it weren’t for your boss being sinister and cunning, it would have been impossible for you lackeys to catch me! I’ve been tricked once already, and I won’t be tricked again! Don’t even dream about catching me this time!”
After saying that, Liu Tao smiled. “Speaking of which, your boss is really a coward. I asked him to fight me, but he didn’t agree. He only knows how to hide and use such sinister moves. However, even if he comes personally, he probably won’t be able to catch me! Hahahaha! Your special department is tras.h.!.+ Your boss is a coward! He will never come out!”
Jing Fei was furious. “You…”
“Let’s make a bet.”
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from downstairs. It made Liu Tao poke his head out and look at the red-haired girl.
Liu Tao narrowed his eyes. “Who are you?”
Xue Xi: “The boss you’re talking about is my boyfriend.”
Liu Tao sneered. “I see. What bet do you want to make?”
Xue Xi: “We can catch you even without him doing anything.”
Liu Tao immediately smiled even more fearlessly. “I know that you guys have people who can fly and burrow into the ground, and you also have someone with rocket-like legs, but do you know what my special power is?”
A sinister and vicious glint flashed across the pale-faced man’s eyes. “Alright, I’ll make a bet with you.”
The corners of his lips cracked open as he suddenly smiled. “You guys can block me all you want, but you can still only watch as I kill him, you won’t be able to do anything! And the boss you guys speak of can’t do anything to me either! Hahaha, he can only run around like a fly behind me. He must be so angry that he’s stomping his feet!”
After saying this, he suddenly stomped his feet.
An invisible aura instantly spread.
The entire world’s voices suddenly stopped. The moment Jing Fei heard his words, he anxiously tried his best to fly to the balcony.
The other espers also rushed over.
However, at this moment, everyone felt as though their minds had frozen.
After Liu Tao stomped his feet and activated his power, he grinned and revealed a smug smile. Then, he slowly waved the knife and cut the hostage’s neck artery.
Now that time had been frozen and blood could not spout, it meant that the hostage was still alive. However, as long as he left this place and allowed time to continue flowing, this person would definitely die!
Liu Tao smiled.
He slowly pushed open the door and went downstairs.
When he pa.s.sed by the esper who was preparing to go upstairs, he even moved his fingers and changed the direction of the person running.
Liu Tao quickly arrived on the first floor and left. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw the red-haired girl.
The girl’s beautiful hair was scattered behind her and she was stopped in midair by the wind. She was taking a step forward and seemed to be planning to rush to the second floor to stop him.
A vicious glint flashed across Liu Tao’s eyes.
This person was the boss’s girlfriend?
Ha.
If he teased her in a certain way, that boss would probably be furious, right?
At this thought, Liu Tao walked over and poked Xue Xi’s fair and flawless cheek. “Tsk, General Xiang is really lucky. His girlfriend is actually so beautiful.”
After Liu Tao poked her face, his eyes became filled with hatred.
He took out a note from his pocket. On it were a few provocative words: Liu Tao was here.
He then stuck the note on Xue Xi’s head.
This should be the greatest humiliation to General Xiang, right?
Liu Tao was smug. He clapped his hands and turned to leave.
But at this moment!
A slender hand suddenly grabbed his wrist!
The moment she grabbed him, a huge force surged over, making him unable to break free.
Liu Tao was stunned when he heard the cold voice. “Got you.”
Liu Tao turned around and saw that the girl who was standing stiffly just now could move.
Her hair had started to flutter and her body was no longer stiff. She seemed to have broken past his time freeze.
No, not broken.
Liu Tao’s eyes widened as he suddenly understood something.
This girl had also used Time Freeze.
