Chapter 773: Too Fast?
She said in her heart, “I’m not her,” but because she spoke slowly, before she could finish speaking, she heard Liu Tao say, “Why don’t you let me go and deal with this hostage instead? Without a corpse, there will never be any evidence of my crimes. Your friend can be redeemed. What do you think?”
After saying that, Liu Tao raised his chin smugly. “I heard that the atmosphere in your special department is very good. Your interpersonal relationships are also not bad. You don’t want your colleague to die with me, right?”
Xue Xi suddenly asked, “Are you very experienced in killing and dumping corpses?”
Liu Tao immediately narrowed his eyes. “Of course! You might not know, but the dozen or so murder cases that the special department had uncovered are actually not everything! I even killed some small child because she ate too dirty! I even killed an old man before. When I passed by him, his body was too smelly. Tsk, did you know? When you pause time, you can do whatever you want!”
He slowly coaxed, “You will have unlimited time to do whatever you want. Those lives are worthless! Also, I often do interesting things. For example, after stopping time, I will throw people in front of a speeding car. When you restore the speed of time, you will hear a bang… and that person will be gone.”
When he said this, he was smiling like a demon.
Xue Xi frowned.
She suddenly said, “Then I’m at ease.”
At ease?
Liu Tao was at first taken aback before saying, “It’s good if you’re at ease. I’m best at dumping corpses. Don’t worry, I guarantee that they won’t find any clues. However, let’s make a deal. In the future, when I kill people, I’ll clean them up, so don’t arrest me again, alright? This is called mutual benefits.”
Xue Xi had already walked over and untied him.
Liu Tao stood up and patted his clothes. He then smiled and said, “You’re quite an interesting woman. No wonder General Xiang likes you. Hehe, actually, with such special abilities, we can totally be the masters of this world…”
He turned around and waved his hand. “Little beauty Fang Yi, you know what I’m saying?”
Unfortunately, just as he took a step, his wrist was grabbed again and he could not break free. He turned around in a daze and saw the red-haired girl grabbing the hostage with her other hand.
Liu Tao was stunned. Before he could feel anything, a faint electric current suddenly rushed over. Immediately after, his neck hurt!
Liu Tao widened his eyes and touched his neck in disbelief.
Warm liquid flowed out and made him look down at his hand. It was indeed covered in red blood.
Only then did he react!
This girl actually used a transfer spell just now! She transferred the injuries of an ordinary person to an esper!
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he only made a sound…
Then, he slowly fell to the ground and pointed at Xue Xi with trembling fingers. “No, you, you’re not Fang Yi. You… also know… my… special power… You… You’re… actually… you…”
Before he could finish speaking, he fell to the ground.
The moment before he died, Liu Tao suddenly understood why his position had been exposed. He finally understood that the organization had abandoned him because of his arrogance and disobedience…
The organization even sent him to her.
So that’s how it is. So that’s how it is!
After Liu Tao died in this time freeze, he became an ordinary person. Xue Xi helped him stand up and he stood there.
Then, Xue Xi placed the knife in his hand against his neck and made it appear like he’d committed suicide… She never did things strictly and only obeyed her heart.
If the hostage had died, Qian Xin would go to jail, or worse.
And Liu Tao deserved to die. In that situation just now, she could not apply for permission from Xiang Huai and could only act first and report later.
However, she believed that in order to save this hostage, the special department would have made the same choice.
And now that the monitoring department was gone, things were different.
However, in order to not make things difficult for Xiang Huai, she should cover it up.
Before Liu Tao could kill again, he suddenly had an epiphany. In the end, he gave up on the hostage and aimed the knife at himself. This scenario did not seem too bad?
After cleaning up the surroundings, Xue Xi went downstairs and returned to her previous position. She suddenly realized that Liu Tao’s note was still stuck on her forehead, so she casually took it off and threw it aside.
Immediately, she gently stomped her feet.
A mysterious aura rippled in the air.
Instantly, time returned to normal and everyone regained their senses.
Xue Xi ran forward and acted as though she wanted to go save someone. She then waited for Liu Tao to commit suicide. The venue had been set up, but why did the direction of the script seem a little wrong?
Bang!
The glass shattered and Jing Fei rushed in. He was too fast and no one saw what happened. Jing Fei bumped into Liu Tao and pushed him back!
Then…
The knife that was originally aimed at the hostage stabbed into Liu Tao’s neck wound!
Everyone was stunned.
The esper who had originally intended to rush upstairs but was turned around by Liu Tao accidentally fell down. The rest also rushed over from all directions.
Everyone stopped when they saw this scene.
After ten seconds, Qian Xin’s loud voice sounded. “Jing Fei, you’re really my hero! You saved me! The hostage is fine, but at the critical moment, you killed the murderer! You’re too fast, so fast that he couldn’t even use his Time Freeze ability!”
Jing Fei, who was stunned: “???”
He stared blankly at the man beneath him and was in a state of self-doubt. Was he really too fast?
Pui!
A man could not be too fast!
Xue Xi, who had just followed him upstairs: “??”
At this moment, Xue Xi’s phone vibrated.
She lowered her head and picked it up to take a look. She realized that it was another stranger who had sent her a strange message. In this message was a code, and the contents were: “Have you received the gift? This is to show my sincerity. Do you want to know the secret about yourself? Can you meet me at the Purple Gold Pavilion tonight?”
…
At the same time, in another corner of the world.
A woman with a sinister expression, who was as pale as Liu Tao, had a vicious glint in her eyes. At this moment, she sensed Liu Tao’s death, along with the news that he had tried his best to send back before he died. She slammed the table angrily and stood up. “Fang Yi, I want to fight you to the death! I want to avenge Liu Tao!”
“Let’s go!”
