A brave man may not live, but he cannot die

Chapter 30: Within seven steps, the gun is accurate and fast
A look of deep surprise flashed across the bodyguard's half-closed eyes.

This guy... How is it possible that he's still alive?

"Put him down! Don't you understand me? I told you to put him down!!!"

Bates held the knife, and it was obvious that something was wrong with his mind.

The girl Bai Jie's neck was cut by the trembling blade, leaving wounds and blood.

His hand, which was infused with enhanced arcane magic, tightly clamped Xia Dai'er's neck, as if he would cut her throat in the next second.

The bodyguard had no choice but to let go, and Quinn slid to the ground with a bang, gasping for breath.

"Hey, calm down."

The bodyguard said as he slowly approached Bates.

"I told you not to come here!!!"

Bates screamed, waved his hand and threw out a flame gun, blasting the ground into a charred mess.

The bodyguard was affected by the flames, but the flame gun was not aimed correctly and exploded in front of him, so he was not seriously injured.

He frowned slightly. Logically speaking, there was an unobstructed straight corridor between the two of them, so the ball shouldn't have been thrown in a crooked direction. Obviously, the injury had affected Bates's mind.

The power of the extraordinary person has been displayed on the wall, even the bricks and concrete were penetrated. How could Bates, an ordinary person, still be alive after being hit by his full-strength punch?

The bodyguard took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a big hole in Bates' chest. The entire sternum and lungs were smashed into pieces.
A twisted mass of sticky substance emitting a bright blue light stuck to his chest, like a tentacle extending from a broken blood vessel, hanging on to Bates's life.

Not only that, his expression didn't look painful at all, but rather a bit excited.

His arm, which was engraved with runes, had been burnt due to excessive spellcasting, but was now repaired by the blue sticky substance. The runes were twisted into a blurred and fragmented evil appearance, like insects crawling on his arm.

Is this the function of the three needles?
The bodyguard took a step back. He had to protect his employer's life at all costs.

"Let me make you a deal—you release those people, and I swear on my soul that I'll let you go safely. How about that?"

"Liar! Liar!!"

Bates seemed to be completely oblivious to what he was saying. He just kept shouting, "You mountain-dwellers are all liars! Up! Damn it, up—only up."

His expression suddenly changed again, becoming numb. A strange blue light appeared in his eyes, and he seemed to be stunned.

"Up. Up. Yes. Up. In the sky"

He repeated "up, up", slowly put down the knife, only his left hand still instinctively clamped Xia Dai'er.

The bodyguard's eyes focused, opportunity!

He moved suddenly. It was hard to imagine that the human body could burst out at such a terrifying speed. It was just like a motorcycle with the accelerator turned to the bottom, roaring forward!
The distance between them was fifteen meters, and he only needed one second—

Quinn curled his lips into a sneer.

A beam of azure light appeared in an instant, piercing through the center of the bodyguard's running body.

Five meters away, he fell to the ground, and a bowl-sized hole was torn in his right chest by the magic gravel of the talisman. The burnt muscles were sizzling. The bodyguard's throat moved and he looked back in disbelief.

Quinn, who was slumped against the wall, put down his hand. There was also a syringe stuck in his arm, and the needle tube was empty.

"I'm the head after all, and you don't even look at me. Isn't it embarrassing?" Quinn said calmly: "Bates, give this guy another blow. I want to see if the extraordinary can still move without a head."

Bates didn't react and continued to hold Xia Dai'er.

The words he repeated were no longer human language, but rather unclear syllables with a strange rhythm.

It's like a spell.

".Hello, Bates?"

Quinn frowned. He saw Bates' head gradually raised, as if looking for some scenery from a high place.

"Damn it, you hit too much, you need to call someone up."

boom! ! !
A sudden gunshot interrupted Bates's mumbling.

As he looked in astonishment, a bloody hole suddenly appeared in the middle of Bates's head.

The sound of gunfire echoed in the devastated corridor. A sound of footsteps slowly approached. Click, it was the sound of a revolver reloading. An elegant young man in a trench coat with a large lapel pointed a pistol at Bates's body on the ground and pulled the trigger again.

Bang—his head exploded like a watermelon.

Quinn kicked Bates's motionless body and said, "I don't know if a superhuman can still move without a head, but this guy should be unable to move without a head."

Xia Dai'er's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise: "Quinn?!"

"Oh, what a coincidence! You were out for a walk late at night and got lost in a jewelry store."

Being suddenly hugged, Quinn was a little overwhelmed. "Hey, hey, are you really so enthusiastic? Wow, the blood on your neck rubbed against me. This dress is rented, and the store will deduct my deposit when the time comes."

"--Why are you here?" Xia Dai'er quickly separated again, raised her face and asked him.

"What a coincidence! I was just passing by and saw someone getting robbed, and then I saw you on the second floor." Quinn said with a look of pure surprise. "I walked around the building and found a back door leading directly to the third floor, so I went up the fire escape to take a look—"

He looked at the corridor that was almost reduced to ruins and said with heartfelt emotion: "The jewelry store encountered an arcane robber. He was as strong as a monster, breathing fire and tearing down walls. I tried my best to defeat him!"

".You saved me again."

"I already said it was a chance encounter."

"I heard from my brother that you were released from the academy. Why didn't you come to see me?"

"I have to work to rent an apartment, find a job, and pay the gas bill. I'm not an idler, sister."

Because of the Hero suspect, Elon, Quinn didn't want to get too involved with Xia Dai'er. "I just saw you were in danger and came up to shoot you. It was just a coincidence. Anyway, what happened at the police station last time is even."

The reason Ankuya was able to arrive before he was captured by the Vatican was because Xia Daier went to get help. Although this ill-fated relationship was systematically guided, Quinn still remembered it.

This is also the reason why he took the risk to save people.

For some reason, even though she had just experienced such a dangerous thing, Xia Daier felt relieved when Quinn appeared here.

"This dress suits you very well." She hesitated for a long time before finally saying this.

"Ah? You're talking about this now?" Quinn glanced at his own attire and said confidently, "Actually, I usually dress like this. It's just that the goblins took my clothes off that day."

"Anyway, can you please help me get Graham out first? He needs emergency treatment."

Graham was the bodyguard's name.

The body of a superhuman is so terrifying that even with a fatal wound like a hole in the chest, he would only faint.

Amidst the blood, one could even faintly hear his weak breathing.

"Holy crap, this guy's not dead yet? Shocking! What kind of magic potion did he drink? Can you get me a copy for my idol, Kobe?"

"—Hey, drop the pistol."

Quinn's voice sounded coldly.

Quinn turned his head and saw that he had raised his arm and pointed it at him, arcane runes surging on his skin.

"No buddy, can you still move?"

Your chest is sunken. Isn't it too long before you die?

Quinn's left arm had released two third-level arcane spells in a short period of time. It was now swollen beyond recognition and it was obvious that he could not release the third round of rune energy and magic gravel.

But he held the last syringe in his mouth and had already stabbed it into his arm. Although he did not push the blue potion inside, his ferocious expression seemed to say that he was going to fight to the death.

"Quinn, be careful, Graham was killed by him."

"I know."

Quinn said calmly, "Dude, I actually ran into your accomplice downstairs, a guy from the Western Continent named Jack. We got along really well, and we were practically sworn brothers. After all, you guys have to sell the goods after you've robbed them, so is there any need to create such a rift with the customers?"

"Jack? Client?" Quinn was slightly stunned. He seemed to have thought of something, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes when he looked at Quinn.

"Go back to where you came from. Today's incident has nothing to do with you. Of course, you have to stay here, young lady. Don't get any bad ideas. I'll shoot your head off before I raise my gun. I promise."

Quinn had already received two shots in a short period of time.

Bates's madness was still fresh in his mind. If possible, he didn't want to take the third shot, which was very dangerous.

"Okay, okay, brother, don't get excited. I'll put the gun down first. Let's be honest and not shoot."

Quinn, as if in compromise, cowardly lowered the revolver and said, "Look, the muzzle isn't pointed at you. We're only seven steps apart, you should be able to see clearly. Oops, it went off accidentally!"

Quinn never expected that the revolver with the muzzle pointed at the ground would suddenly fire.

Because the gun was not pointed at him, Quinn did not subconsciously use arcane magic.

He was even in a trance for a moment. Was it an accidental discharge?
But the next moment, a bullet followed an incredible trajectory and shot into his chin, ending his life.

Quinn blinked innocently.

"It's none of my business. The trigger was pulled by itself, the bullet moved by itself, and the physics building collapsed by itself, huh?"

He blinked and blinked again, even ignoring Xia Daier who was hugging his arm and cheering beside him.

Two unfamiliar system prompts popped up before my eyes——

[Soul Dust +45, current Soul Dust balance is 45 points.]
