All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 1053 Human Nature

The neck was broken, and the head, turned 180 degrees, made a chilling sound.

Even mercenaries who were used to life and death felt a chill run down their spines at this moment.

However, they are ultimately men who live by the sword. They dare to commit such a big crime and can drop bombs at will, so they won't back down because of it.

Instead, it aroused their ferocity.

"Damn it!"

"what?!"

"Even if it's a ghost, kill it!"

Da Da Da~
They were only startled at first, but they immediately pulled the trigger.

However, the jackal was a top-notch assassin in his previous life. Controlling his body to turn his head and scare them was not out of his own perverse pleasure, but simply to buy some time!

The body, now turned upside down, had drawn a pistol from its waist and was firing continuously.

With his body armor pierced and a burst of bullets fired, he almost single-handedly wiped out most of the squad.

Then, his body simply couldn't take it anymore, and his bulletproof vest was pierced through before he collapsed to the ground.

The two remaining militants, like madmen, kept firing at the already riddled corpse.

Seeing that twisted body still struggling amidst the bullets, they dared not stop firing for even a moment.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

"How come you can't be killed!"

"Use the bomb!"

The fact that the two of them knew to fight back despite being so frightened shows they had a very strong mentality.

But it was precisely because of the jackals' behavior that they temporarily forgot that they were still chasing the enemy. After running out of bullets, they didn't immediately think of reloading. Instead, they started searching for bombs on the body of the already dead demolition expert.

"I'll blow your body to pieces and see what else you can do!"

The jackal, lying in a pool of blood, its bulletproof vest ripped apart and its head split open, was still writhing its flesh and blood.

The whistling throat emitted a sound that sent chills down your spine.
"But you're out of bullets now..."

Neither of them had a chance to react.

But as several bodyguards rushed out and fired wildly with their pistols, the last two militants also fell into a pool of blood.

Lok Wai-ching was incredibly audacious. She rushed out with the bodyguards, and although she felt like vomiting at the sight of the bloody scene, she still endured her disgust and continued to film.

At the same time, he murmured to himself
"My God, only two left? That ghost just appeared and killed so many people!"

She even took a close-up shot of the jackal's sieve-like body.

"But this ghost must have been killed too..."

"If a person is killed after being possessed by a ghost, they will never be reincarnated."

Huang Yaozu then shared his experience.

"To save him now, we need a living person to touch him before he dies completely, to see if there are any survivors."

“Don’t bother.”

The jackal spoke with that eerie, leaky sound, then its neck spun around and it fell off.

His spirit once again appeared in the lens of Lok Wai-ching, and in the eyes of Wong Yiu-cho and the other two members of the miscellaneous affairs department.

Although the body seemed to have faded somewhat, it has reappeared.

"They can actually move again! This..."

Huang Yaozu looked somewhat shocked; how powerful must a vengeful ghost be to do this?

The jackal, seeing his surprised expression, didn't say anything.

During the time I followed my master, although I was often studied and suffered injuries, my master would always use some magic to restore my soul.

In terms of strength, he is much stronger than ordinary ghosts.

After the scene outside was over, the young masters inside came out with furrowed brows, almost vomiting at the sight of the bloody scene outside.

Even though they are usually high and mighty, and can decide the livelihoods of countless people with a single word.

However, this close encounter with death still filled them with terror.

Even so, they still felt the intensity of the 'demon'!

A fully armed combat squad was wiped out in an instant. If this supernatural method was intended for assassination, they seem to have no way to defend against it!
To some extent, it seems that the young duke can control their lives and deaths as long as he is unhappy!

Even though I knew about the Miscellaneous Department before, recently even more troublesome monster tamers and strange beings have appeared.

They only pay slight attention to it, since it hasn't happened in front of them.

"Your Grace, are there many people with your methods? Are those monster tamers also this troublesome? Should we recruit some more?"

The young master of the Huo family inquired.

Although these young masters respected Tao Yu quite a bit, they were mainly just there to make an appearance and exchange pleasantries based on his title.

But now, its importance is completely different.

“The Ghost Masters are more troublesome than these ordinary ‘ghosts,’ and many strange phenomena are even more troublesome than the Ghost Masters. You can choose some reliable Ghost Masters to assist you. In the future, strange phenomena will become more and more frequent.”

Tao Yu casually mentioned it in front of her phone camera.

"More and more frequently?"

Will there be more?

The young masters were startled.

Recently, there have been more and more strange occurrences, which is what they are paying attention to.

Now that they've said that, it seems like this is only just beginning?!

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Grace. We will try to find a solution."

Previously, I just felt it was unnecessary to risk keeping a mentally ill person around. Now, it seems that it is probably necessary to select some demon tamers who have families, vulnerabilities, and relatively reliable personalities.

However, this type of demon tamer is probably a rare resource; we'll have to search carefully...

"Then let's continue to stay on this floor and wait for rescue. There are mobile units down here. Even if they are outmatched, they will still send the intelligence back. The Flying Tigers should be here soon."

One of the young masters suggested it.

Even in front of the camera, he didn't care at all about showing such a fear of death.

The armed forces now act as their own bodyguards.

Rescuing those people isn't our job!
“I’ve also disabled the surveillance cameras on the two nearby floors. That way, they won’t know which floor we’re hiding on. After wiping out one team, they probably won’t dare to bother us easily.”

If we don't know the exact location of the target, searching slowly is a risk that the other party probably can't afford.

"I'm afraid not."

The sound came from the camera footage on Lok Wai-ching's phone. Apart from Wong Yiu-tsu and Lee Kwok-keung, everyone else at the scene could only hear Jackal's words through their phones.

Seeing that it was the ghost who spoke, they all looked over, and it was Li Guoqiang who asked the question.

"Why not?"

This ghost saved their group and earned their trust. "The explosives they used were C4, which is not usually suitable for close combat, but they used them anyway."

Jackals are professional killers and are extremely sensitive to these weapons.

C4 is a highly malleable and stable explosive. It can be molded like clay or even burned as firewood. It is usually detonated by detonators and is mainly used to make time bombs, magnetic bombs, and for demolition.
"What you're saying does indeed have a problem."

A bodyguard with demolition experience frowned and spoke up.
"You mean, they might detonate the entire building?"

Reinforced concrete has extremely strong resistance to impact. Unless the shelling or bombing directly hits the load-bearing columns, the resulting shock waves are unlikely to cause devastating damage to a hotel of this size.

Even the shockwave from a nuclear explosion, at a distance, would at most shatter some walls and windows, but the load-bearing columns would remain standing.

However, if it is based on the hotel's own architectural structure, holes are made in the load-bearing columns at key nodes and explosives are placed.

If the explosion is detonated at a specific point, the hotel's own gravitational potential energy will be enough to crush the hotel!

The entire hotel will collapse!

They might use the surplus C4 as a trial balloon, which just goes to show they have a lot of it, and it's very likely it's all redundant...

"Isn't this insane?! What are they even after?!"

One of the young masters was getting anxious, feeling a headache coming on at the thought of being in a building that might be blown up.

Armed militants guarded both the lower and upper levels.

I have no idea where they're planning to bomb!
Now, we either go out and confront them head-on, or we wait for them to blow up the building!

"Young Duke, how many more times can your subordinates do this? Can we fight our way out from below?"

In the end, they could only place their hopes on Tao Yu.

“They will not choose suicide in the end, so I think we can attack upwards. Their leaders should still have these jewels as their main target.”

Tao Yu's words made a lot of sense to everyone.

"The Flying Tigers had to worry about the safety of the hostages and were hesitant to act, but we didn't have so many concerns. Relatively speaking, we were a greater threat to them."

The eldest son of the Li family spoke somewhat indifferently, as if stating a fact, even during filming.

Rescuing hostages is not their responsibility!
But precisely because of this, they don't need to be restrained, and they can also make the other side understand that the hostages are useless to them, which can actually increase their success rate.

"Young Duke, we entrust our lives to you. We believe in you."

"Okay, let's decide on that then."

As Tao Yu spoke, he walked over to the corpse, picked up a walkie-talkie, and pressed the communication button.
"Friends, your Team C is gone. Can we talk now...?"

……

Having already taken control of the venue and given Long Wei, who claimed to be a master of martial arts, a good beating, the bandits are now rapidly deciphering the jewelry's protective mechanisms.

These bulletproof windows can be destroyed by bombs, but that would also damage the jewelry inside. They came here for money and didn't want to make a wasted trip.

Just as the computer experts were rapidly deciphering the code, they suddenly received news that Group C had been completely wiped out, which left the outward leader of the robbers, Sangbang, somewhat incredulous.

The doctor's younger brother, Rabbit, then took the walkie-talkie and spoke into it.

"Your bodyguards are indeed quite capable, but do you think you can threaten us with that? Come out now and we might spare your lives and let you go once we get what we need. Alternatively, you can continue to hide, and we won't bother to send anyone else to target you."

The reaction here was truly unbelievable to the police officers who were lurking in the crowd.

Chen Jiaju, who had come to look at jewelry with his girlfriend under the guise of his position, and Li Jie, who had stayed by Long Wei's side, both felt a slight stirring in their hearts, as if they sensed that there was still a chance and a turning point.

Chen Jiaju gestured to his girlfriend not to move, and began to slowly move his body to get closer to the computer expert.

Although Li Jie did not know Chen Jiaju, he also observed his location and began to cooperate by sneaking towards the nearest robber.

Meanwhile, Tao Yu had already revealed that they had planted explosives.
“We have no interest in rescuing hostages or protecting the jewelry; we only seek to protect ourselves. We could have lived peacefully among ourselves, but the bomb you planted was meant to send everyone away, and there’s really nothing we can do about that.”

Because the voice on the walkie-talkie wasn't quiet, some of the hostages next to the rabbit could hear what was being said.

Hearing that these ruthless robbers had planted bombs and wanted to destroy the entire hotel filled them with considerable fear.

"You robbed us and then wanted to blow us up?"

The hostages were likely to behave themselves, partly because the other side had guns, but also largely because the jewels were simply stolen and it wasn't their problem anymore.

But now the entire building is about to be blown up, and death is inevitable either way, which has led to some unrest.

Just as Rabbit and Sangbang were preparing to shoot a few as an example to warn others, it happened.

Chen Jiaju and Li Jie made their moves almost simultaneously.

Li Jie swept the gun out of the robber's hand with a sweeping motion, then lunged to grab it. Meanwhile, Chen Jiaju picked up a pen from the ground and pressed it against the computer expert's throat artery.
"Don't move! If you move again, the computer expert will die, and you'll get nothing!"

Chen Jiaju's roar startled the armed men at the scene, who then pointed their guns at him.

However, out of fear of harming the innocent, they dared not fire.

Li Jie, holding the stolen gun, hid behind cover to provide cover.

“We can stay as hostages and let you decipher the code in the end, but you must release all the other hostages.”

Although Chan Ka-kui acted with a strong sense of individual heroism, he was indeed a good person who could sacrifice himself for others in critical moments.

It's impossible to force these terrorists to give up resistance with just a computer expert, but releasing the hostages might have some effect.

“Keeping only you is not enough; we don’t have enough hostages and the Flying Tigers might come in soon. But we can release all the adult men.”

The rabbit felt a pang of bitterness in its heart.

I never expected such a blunder to happen when the situation was under control. Are these two guys fearless?

Because of this lesson, it's not unacceptable to release all the adult men to prevent any further mishaps.

"Don't rush to refuse. If you disagree, we'll kill you all, then blow up these windows. We'll still get something out of it. For safety, we'll kill all the adult males present first..."

This put Chen Jiaju and Li Jie on opposite sides.

Many people have already spoken.

"Promise them, run as many as you can."

"Yes, if we don't agree to their demands, we'll die!"

Originally intending to rescue people, Chen Jiaju was instead shifted the focus of the conflict and began to bear the pressure from the hostages.

In the face of life and death, there will always be a few who break down mentally, and their actions bring enormous pressure.

"You guys can go over and try to persuade them. I won't shoot. If you succeed, you can leave."

The rabbit said, "It's like killing someone by attacking their spirit."

The loudest adult male hostages were sent over to "persuade" Chen Jiaju.

Chen Jiaju simply used a pen to prop himself up and then hid behind the target.

In this situation, if some ordinary people can restrain him even slightly, he is confident that he can accurately deliver a headshot!

The hostages exchanged glances, then stood up and slowly walked toward Chen Jiaju, who was holding a pen.

They dared not confront the militants, because the militants would actually shoot them!
There have already been cases of making an example of someone to deter others.

But if it's about 'persuading' this guy who's trying to be a hero, then there doesn't seem to be much risk involved.

Surely his armed accomplice wouldn't attack unarmed civilians like us...
