The moment she saw Jiang Qiu and the others, she instinctively raised her gun to fire.
But when her gaze fell upon the nine figures above, her pupils constricted to their limit, and even the hand holding the gun slumped down weakly.
Why does this happen?
While Chen Huijie was stunned, Exusiai also raised her gun and aimed it at the other person's heart.
Before he could pull the trigger, time seemed to freeze at that moment, and Chen Huijie stood motionless like a statue.
The familiar mission screen suddenly unfolded before the bandits—
[The Final Choice]
Part 1: The Gunfire That Suppressed Hope
[With Chen Huijie killed, a decisive victory was achieved, bringing this battle to a succinct close.]
[Settlement Reward: Luck value increases slightly within the day]
[II. A Final Judgment Filled with Malice]
Victory for the bandits is within reach. Use even more ruthless and insidious methods to defeat the enemy's key figures and seize the final victory.
[Settlement Reward: Fulfill a small wish within a reasonable scope]
"A-Neng, don't rush to make a move."
Upon seeing this, Kaguya immediately stopped Exusiai and stared intently at the second ending reward.
Even though dreams are all illusions, what if they are?
Given how incredibly realistic it is, why not give it a try? You might be pleasantly surprised!
"What do you think?"
"To fulfill a wish, I have to give it a try."
"I feel this is a bit unreliable. Isn't it said that everything in dreams is the opposite? Maybe the wishes you make in your dreams will come true in reality."
"This thing doesn't say how it will grant wishes, so we still need to be careful."
"But since we're already here, it's just a dream."
These words completely dispelled everyone's concerns.
It was just a dream, after all.
Seeing that everyone favored the second ending, Jiang Qiu took the opportunity to propose the conditions for her hidden mission.
Duel Trial?
Everyone was stunned, but it didn't seem like it was a bad idea.
Just as he was about to agree, Kaguya seemed to realize something, and a more sinister smile appeared on her face—
"Isn't the second ending supposed to require even more ruthless methods? Why don't we add some more excitement to this trial?"
"What do you want to do?"
Kaguya chuckled and whispered a few words in everyone's ears, causing Exusiai and the others' pretty faces to turn bright red.
"Isn't this not good?"
"Being too ruthless and insane will easily incur divine retribution."
"Oh well, it's just a dream anyway, so it shouldn't be a big deal to mess around a little."
"Don't you want to see just how badly these guys break down when faced with public execution?"
Faced with Kaguya's encouragement, the evil thoughts in everyone's hearts began to stir uncontrollably.
How about giving it a try?
Anyway, it's not me who's going to die!
The group looked at each other, seemingly hesitant, but clearly had already made their decision.
As everyone made their choices, time began to flow once again.
Below, Chen Huijie glared furiously at the brazen crowd, then aimed her gun at them again—
"Let go!"
"Put the gun down first."
Jiang Qiu responded with a smile, and the two were locked in a stalemate for a moment.
Seeing that Chen Huijie refused to back down, Jiang Qiu immediately waved his hand, and Mikasa decisively cut a rope hanging from the corpse.
To Chen Huijie's horror, the body of a colleague from the Imperial Guard Bureau fell uncontrollably from the sky.
Even though she tried her best to answer, she was still a step too late.
Bang! ! !
puff-
As the piercing screams echoed in her ears, Chen Huijie was also drenched in sweat from her breakdown.
"Officer Chen, are you ready to cooperate now?"
Jiang Qiu's voice rang out again, making Chen Huijie's blood pressure soar uncontrollably, but she still slammed the gun into the pool.
Chapter 103, Section 104: Hoshiguma, you are the source of all sin!
“Inspector Chan, since we’re all acquaintances, I’ll give you a chance to save someone, don’t say I didn’t take care of you.”
"Next, let's play a little game. If you can win, we can release the person."
Jiang Qiu made the suggestion with a smile, completely ignoring Chen Huijie's fierce glare that seemed to want to kill someone.
Holding her colleague's bloodied body, Chen Huijie glanced at the crowd still waiting for her rescue on the ceiling, and almost gritted her teeth as she asked—
"How do you want to play?"
"You're an elite member of the Guard Bureau, so you must be very proficient with firearms. Let's have a gun assembly contest."
As Jiang Qiu spoke, she waved to Exusiai on the third floor.
Ah Neng immediately pulled the rope down and happily approached.
Jiang Qiu moved an empty table and placed it between the two of them, and two familiar pistols appeared in his hands.
"This gun was confiscated from your colleague. Whoever loads it first wins."
"This round is just an appetizer. I'll bet two with you. If I win, I'll let you go immediately."
"But if you lose, don't blame me for being ruthless."
As they were talking, Jiang Qiu disassembled the two guns into a pile of parts, leaving Exusiai completely stunned.
This guy actually pulled this trick?
Chen Huijie, disregarding everything else, grabbed the edge of the table and said in a deep voice—
"Okay! 0 Liu Si Lu Dan Er Ba Qun"
Upon hearing this, the people on the third floor immediately began the countdown.
As the countdown reached one, Chen Huijie and Exusiai almost simultaneously extended their hands.
As they assembled the parts, both sides seemed evenly matched in speed, and their focused and concentrated attitudes made everyone on the third floor subconsciously tense up.
However, under the pressure of being in dire straits and eager to save lives, Chen Huijie's hands were visibly trembling.
Seeing that the two seemed to be evenly matched, Jiang Qiu decided to add fuel to the fire of the duel, picking up the gun that Chen Huijie had dropped on the ground and aiming it at the little tiger.
The instant the trigger is pulled—
boom! ! !
"Woo-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh"
Swire, who was already on the verge of death, suddenly let out a shrill scream. His body convulsed so violently that his afterimages were almost visible, and blood and sweat splattered down wildly.
Disturbed by the little tiger's desperate wails, Chen Huijie's hand trembled, slowing down abruptly as Exusiai slapped him.
Just as she was trying her best to load the magazine, the dark muzzle of the gun was already aimed at her head.
"Sorry, Inspector Chen, you've lost."
Jiang Qiu's face broke into an uncontrollable, sinister smile, and he casually waved towards the third floor.
Upon seeing this, Mikasa immediately swung her sword and slashed at the two nearest ropes.
"No!!!"
With a desperate shout from Chen Huijie, Hoshiguma and Hishou crashed heavily to the ground.
Feixiao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his breath becoming extremely weak.
Meanwhile, Hoshiguma, who was severely injured, was still trying her best to endure it, only letting out some muffled groans so as not to worry Chen Huijie.
Judging from the way she rolled her eyes, things were clearly not going well.
What terrified Chen Huijie even more was that things didn't seem to be over yet; Jiang Qiu was walking towards where the two of them were.
What's this guy up to?!
"stop!!"
Chen Huijie instinctively tried to rush over to protect her, but a shot unexpectedly hit near her feet, stopping her in her tracks.
"Inspector Chen, don't break the rules of the game."
"Since you've lost, they're completely beyond saving. Their life or death is entirely up to us."
"But don't be too nervous. There are still seven left. If you try a little harder, you might be able to save them."
Kaguya, on the third floor, chuckled and teased, then, after calling Exusiai back, winked at Mikasa.
Mikasa nodded, and then jumped straight off the third floor.
Bang! ! !
Chen Huijie was shocked to see the figure land steadily.
This guy seems exceptionally dangerous!
Just as Chen Huijie was on guard, Kaguya's voice drifted over again—
"Inspector Chen, as an elite member of the Royal Guard Bureau, you must be quite capable in combat, right?"
"Next, let Mikasa test your skills. Whoever falls to the ground loses. It's a bet of two."
"As for the time, Hoshiguma and Hiyou will keep count for you until they break down."
"Of course, if neither of them falls by the time the time is up, then one of them will still fall."
Chen Huijie was taken aback upon hearing this, and then, as if realizing something, her eyes turned bloodshot and menacing when she looked at Jiang Qiu again.
Hoshiguma was already kneeling on the ground with Jiang Qiu's neck tightly locked. In a daze, another demonic hand ignored the protection of the outer armor and viciously ravaged and modified the structure of the front armor.
With such a brazen attitude, Chen Huijie dared not imagine what would happen next!
"Let's begin!"
Kaguya's voice suddenly rang out.
Before the words were even finished, Mikasa instantly lunged forward and punched Chen Huijie squarely in the face.
So fast! !
Chen Huijie turned her head in shock, the force of the punch making her cheeks sting.
As she narrowly dodged the attack, the ferocity within her seemed to be unleashed. She grabbed her opponent's arm with her backhand while simultaneously delivering a knee strike to Mikasa's abdomen.
Bang! !
Mikasa reacted swiftly, retaliating with a knee strike of her own. As their knees collided, Chen Huijie's face paled instantly.
As her calves suddenly went weak, even the hand gripping Mikasa's arm loosened slightly.
With a stagger backward, Chen Huijie's legs clenched together slightly, feeling weak.
Before she could regain her footing, Mikasa had already unleashed another sweeping kick, leaving afterimages in the air.
Seeing that there was no time to dodge, Chen Huijie decisively raised her hand to block while also fiercely kicking the opponent's supporting shin.
