Hidden moth

Chapter 55: Like a Fierce Battle

Being locked by divine consciousness, the Hidden Moth cannot disappear? Hearing this shout, He Kao suddenly realized something: why was the Hidden Moth never discovered when it used its power?

Because if he was discovered, he couldn't use it! He was puzzled at first, but once he figured it out, the reason was so simple.

He Kao remembered that when the masked man was outside the house just now, he clearly left the pedestrian street, but then walked a few steps forward and returned to his previous position. He was stunned for a moment before turning around and running away. This was a very strange move.

Could it be that the Hidden Moth's abilities have other limitations, like disappearing from the same place it appeared? The masked man hadn't successfully vanished, perhaps because he could still sense him...

In this way, he actually did more harm than good.

Gao Xue'e has been safely transferred, and He Kao successfully escaped with a gun in his hand. He has regained his composure and thought of so many things in his rapid thinking.

This is not only a fantasy, but also depends on the observation just now.

It seemed that the hidden moth had to return to the place where it had just appeared in order to disappear again and use its mysterious ability. Otherwise, there was no explanation for why the masked man had come back after such a long journey. Was it just to save himself and E-chan?

There is no point in rescuing the people without killing these kidnappers. Otherwise, there is no way to take the people away safely. He must have other intentions.

I have to admit that He Kao is very good at observation and has a meticulous mind. He guessed the answer correctly again today... Perhaps his shortcoming is that he is too thoughtful.

He had just fired seven shots in quick succession on the indoor pedestrian street, inadvertently helping the masked man. The warlocks were swift and relentless in their pursuit. If they hadn't been wary of the shotgun's power, they might have caught up to the masked man long ago.

During the encirclement, they suddenly heard gunshots from the indoor pedestrian street behind them. They were also startled and didn't know what was happening. They didn't dare to act rashly for a while, and the masked man found an opportunity to circle around and run back.

In a blink of an eye, the masked man had run closer, climbed through the window into the commercial pedestrian street, and leaned over the window to fire another shot out.

The shotgun has a very short range, and the effective range is usually no more than fifty meters. If you want to shoot accurately, the actual combat distance is probably only a dozen meters. The accuracy is even worse when shooting while running, but the noise is terrifying.

So the group of people chased very closely, but they kept a distance of several dozen meters and did not get close, but their spiritual sense was always locked on them.

Seeing him leaning on the window and shooting, the threat should be much greater than when he was running. The kidnapper who was chasing him in the front did not dare to be careless and hid behind a tree.

A voice that sounded like Zhao Huanzhen's came from the distance: "He has one last bullet left!" Shotguns usually only have a capacity of five rounds, and the masked man's is no exception. He has already fired four shots, and Zhao Huanzhen has seen through his secrets.

As soon as he finished speaking, three more gunshots were heard from the corner of the building. The pursuer hiding behind the tree screamed, and then fell silent.

Excluding Lao Hong and his gang of thugs, there were a total of twelve kidnappers in the pedestrian shopping street, five third-level warlocks, six second-level warlocks, and a small-time warlock who had not yet started.

One of the third-level sorcerers was killed by the masked man with a shotgun. The remaining four third-level sorcerers who controlled spiritual consciousness had just followed and surrounded the masked man from different directions. They took turns advancing and locked onto the masked man with their spiritual consciousness, making it impossible for him to escape.

As Lao Qian said, spiritual awareness isn't omnipotent; it's like an extension of consciousness, requiring active sensing to detect anything. The man behind the tree was focused solely on the masked figure and didn't notice He Kao, who was lurking in ambush.

The kidnapper hid behind a tree, exposing half of his body to He Kao. He Kao leaned against the wall, knelt on one knee, held the gun with both hands, and fired three shots steadily. It wasn't that he didn't want to fire the fourth shot, but he had no more bullets.

Gunshots rang out, knocking down one man. The kidnappers behind him were also startled and retreated to find a hidden place, fearing that they would be shot as well. For a while, no one dared to come over.

Yin Mo actually has helpers, and these helpers also have guns. Judging from the situation, the accomplices who stayed in the commercial street might be in danger, and some of the kidnappers have already decided to leave.

Now it seems that the question is no longer whether or not the hidden moth can be caught, but how to save one's life from being killed by the hidden moth.

The masked man took the opportunity to leave the window and run back to the pedestrian street. Although He Kao didn't use his perception, he could still hear the footsteps. The footsteps stopped at the place where the masked man first appeared, and reappeared after a moment, still running back to the window where he had ambushed.

This time the masked man's gun was changed to an assault rifle, and there were three magazines inserted in the front of the tactical vest he wore. He looked like a PUBG god of war, but he seemed to be so tired that he was gasping for breath, which somewhat damaged his image.

At this moment, someone in the distance was about to move. He crouched down and half straightened up, and a volley of bullets was fired, some of which contained tracer indicator bullets. The trajectory could be clearly seen from the shooter's perspective.

The masked man's first few shots missed, but after a series of shots, he corrected his trajectory and knocked the man down, muttering, "What a pity I didn't get the night vision goggles!"

Previously in the indoor pedestrian street, he used submachine guns and shotguns, both weapons more suitable for close combat.

At this moment, he was lying behind the windowsill. Looking from this direction, outside was an open area covered with weeds and shrubs. Further back was the Ferris wheel and roller coaster. The assault rifle was a suppression weapon with greater power and longer range.

In the moonlight, the kidnappers didn't dare to stand up and show their heads, let alone come closer.

The masked man whispered again, "Come in quickly!"

He Kao quickly walked around the corner and jumped into the window, lying next to the masked man. Even though he had a thousand words to say, at this moment he only said one sentence: "I have no bullets!"

The masked man took He Kao's pistol and handed the assault rifle to He Kao: "This model? Wait a moment, your adoptive father will get it for you... Just lie down here and don't look back at me. Wherever you hear movement outside, pull the trigger."

God damn godfather! He still doesn't forget to take advantage at this time.

The masked man quickly ran outside the shop with a pistol in hand and suddenly disappeared. A moment later, he turned around and reappeared, but not in the same place he had just disappeared, but in the corner of the wall near the window.

He Kao didn't see it and didn't release his perception. If he could see it, he would find that the masked man seemed to be walking out from the corner of the wall.

"You know how to change the magazine, right? Just press this button and the empty magazine will come out... Yes, press here and then put the new magazine in."

The masked man brought two new pistol magazines and taught He Kao how to change the bullets on the spot. The operation was very simple and he learned it after just one demonstration.

Seeing the masked man take back the rifle and continue to aim out the window, He Kao asked, "You're breathing so hard, are you okay?"

Masked man: "I'm fine, I'm just too excited! Take your gun and leave quickly. Find a car outside to take Ms. E away. As long as you're not here, I have plenty of ways... Take care of this group of people first, and then meet at your house."

He Kao didn't hesitate and reminded him, "They have accomplices who want to ambush you near Sanxi Bridge. If they hear anything, they might come over the mountain. There should also be accomplices keeping watch outside President E's house and in the E-era community."

Masked man: "Got it. Leave it all to me. Don't stay here and be a burden. If you weren't holding me back, I would have shot them in the back, picking them off one by one... There's a car key on the ground outside."

He Kao reminded him again, "In an open area, they can lock onto you even from a hundred meters away. If you're indoors, they can sense you within twenty meters, even through at least three walls."

Masked man: "I've figured it out. Stop talking nonsense and go!"

He Kao finally reminded, "Extremely loud noises and chaotic scenes can confuse their perception. For example, the grenade you threw at the gate...the shotgun makes a similar noise."

After saying this, He Kao carefully retreated with his gun in hand. On the way, he did not forget to return to the house he had just been in, took away the things on the small table, and quickly ran to the gate. Outside the gate, there were several bodies blown away by the explosion. A car key was lying on the top of the steps, which was clearly visible.

There were several cars parked outside. He Kao picked up the car key and pressed it. The lights of one car came on. It was an old fuel SUV. He quickly got in the car, started it, and turned towards the fun adventure house at the back.

The kidnappers lying over there heard the sound of a vehicle starting in the distance and became a little panicked for a moment. At this time, the masked man fired a burst of bullets at the open space, making no one dare to move.

He Kao stopped the car and rushed into the fun adventure house. Gao Xue'e was still in the room. She was so scared by the sound that she shrank under the table. He Kao whispered, "Don't be afraid, Ms. E. It's me. Come with me!"

Gao Xue'e then crawled out from under the table, turned on the flashlight on her cell phone and saw He Kao. She seemed to be relieved and subconsciously raised her hands and stood up straight.

He Kao was startled for a moment, then realized what was going on. It seemed Gao Xue'e still couldn't run, especially in the dark, where she couldn't see her feet clearly. He squatted down again, picked Gao Xue'e up, and ran out the door with his gun in hand.

"Boss E, lie down in the back seat and don't show your head."

He Kao drove out of Happy Valley, getting off the car only once to open the iron gate at the entrance. This gate was usually locked, but tonight someone had apparently removed the lock.

After leaving the gate and turning onto the road, He Kao finally relaxed. Suddenly, he remembered something and quickly asked, "Boss E, you didn't call the police just now, did you?"

Gao Xue'e seemed to have recovered from her shock, and she lay down on the back and said weakly, "Not yet. You told me to wait for you there, and I saw you... I planned to wait for you to come back first."

Gao Xue'e wanted to say, "I saw you shoot and kill someone," but she swallowed the words back.

He Kao: "Give me the phone."

Gao Xue'e handed the phone to him from the back seat. He Kao opened it and took a look. Sure enough, there was no record of any outgoing calls or messages. He believed that Gao Xue'e would not lie to him under such circumstances.

Pugang Town had a highway running through it, and there were often cars passing by in the late hours, so it wouldn't attract much attention. He Kao turned a corner on the main road and walked a short distance to his home... He parked the car in the yard.

He helped Gao Xue'e into the house, and then said: "There is hot water in the bathroom. You can take a shower and rest. I will help you find some clothes to change."

Gao Xue'e grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Who was that just now? The man who fired the gun outside, is that the hidden moth you were talking about? What should we do now?"

He Kao: "Boss E, you don't know about the hidden moth. You've never heard of it. Remember? Don't call the police for now. If you do, let me do it. We can't harm ordinary police officers... You should rest first."

He Kao didn't have any women's clothes at home, so he had to find a few of his own clean clothes for Gao Xue'e. As soon as the sound of water came from the bathroom, He Kao turned his head to look at the small room he usually lived in. The masked man actually opened the door and walked out.

He had a rifle slung around his waist and a hunting crossbow in his hand, something he had only seen in online videos.

He Kao: "So fast, everything is done?"

Masked man: "We are all men, what are you talking about hurrying up? It's been quite a while, you're already home! Where's President E?"

He Kao: "I'm taking a shower. I just went in."

"Then she shouldn't be able to hear it." The masked man waved the hunting crossbow in his hand and said, "There are indeed people on the other side of Sanxi Bridge. They wanted to ambush me with this thing, but when they heard the noise, they came over the mountain from the small path, and I took care of them all.

As expected, there were people watching outside E's house and in the E-era community. They even called a kidnapper. Unfortunately, the phone fell into my hands, and I used this thing to take the person away.

All the kidnappers who saw us tonight should have been dealt with. We can't keep that car in the yard either. I'll take it away and dispose of it later, but someone must have heard the gunshots in the amusement park.

This is the first time I've done something like this, and it's the last time. I don't want anyone to find out... I can get rid of the shell casings and the body, but it's hard to erase all traces. Are you careful? Think about what else you can do."

He Kao: "With your ability, let me think about it... I just realized tonight that the sound of gunfire is really similar to that of firecrackers and double-kick firecrackers, especially when heard from a distance... In the early morning of October 1st, someone here was also setting off fireworks in the wild."

The masked man's eyes lit up: "There are still a lot of firecrackers and double-kick firecrackers upstairs. I'll take care of this."

As he was about to go upstairs, He Kao shouted, "Wait, is there anything else I can help with?"

Masked man: "If it were me, I would have to drive all the way back to the car outside. Wait until President E rests, then drive the car back and drive into the air-raid shelter. You know the place. Drive in until you can't get in anymore, then come back and wait for me."

The masked man went upstairs. A little later, Gao Xue'e came out of the shower, her hair wrapped in a towel. Her clothes were a bit loose, which obviously concealed her figure, but instead had the effect of highlighting her figure.

Just as she was about to speak, the sound of firecrackers suddenly came from the distance. She was so scared that she shivered and fell limply on He Kao.

He Kao supported her and said, "Don't be afraid, those people have been dealt with! They are setting off firecrackers outside to cover up the gunshots today. You rest first, I still have something to take care of.

Don't worry, we are all safe...When we wake up tomorrow, everything will be over."

Although He Kao's house has three floors, there are only two bedrooms. One large bedroom used to belong to his grandfather, and the other small bedroom is where He Kao lives on weekdays... Gao Xue'e chose the small bedroom.

She still didn't dare to stay alone, but she didn't dare to ask He Kao not to go out to "deal with things", so she just held his clothes tightly.

He Kao had no choice but to sit by the bed and watch her fall asleep. She was so tired that once she relaxed, she fell asleep almost immediately. He Kao put her hand under the quilt and then got up and left.

He stumbled as he stood up, stumbling a few steps and feeling sore all over. He was exhausted today, especially from carrying Gao Xue'e all the way. He hadn't felt it before, but now he was feeling refreshed.

He Kao drove the car despite feeling sore all over, and locked the door before leaving.

He usually hid a key to the courtyard gate behind it, which he could reach through the crack under the gate. He also hid a key to the house door in the yard.

This was a habit left by his grandfather, to prevent He Kao from getting into the house without his key and not even his aunt knowing. He Kao later kept this habit, even after changing the lock.

It is not necessary on weekdays, it is just a kind of nostalgia.

The masked man seemed confident, as if everything was under control, but he was also careless in his considerations. He asked He Kao to wait at home and reminded him to pick up the keys and find a car, but he didn't expect He Kao to have no keys on him.

Fortunately, He Kao was able to solve it himself.

As He Kao drove back to Happy Valley, he heard the sound of firecrackers coming from different directions, as if a fierce battle had broken out. Someone was setting off firecrackers and double-kick fireworks in different locations, which must have woken up a lot of people. Many residents of Pugang Town were about to curse.
