"Stop talking nonsense, hurry back and pack the people up, then we can leave once the mission is complete."

Just then, a group of men carrying long guns returned to where the trucks were parked.

The leader had just walked over when his expression changed drastically. He quickly strode forward, pointed at the crowd with his rough fingers, and counted, "One, two, three, four, fifty, seventeen."

"Brother, what's wrong?"

One person was puzzled.

"Damn it, four are missing! You guys hurry up and search the surrounding area!"

The leader immediately counted and discovered that four were missing.

He immediately pointed his gun at the nearest man's head and roared, "Where are they? Where are those four? Tell me now, or none of you will live!"

"I...I don't know, the person disappeared as soon as I turned around."

The man with the gun pointed at him lowered his head, his hands trembling as he braced himself on the ground, his voice trembling, and tears welling up in his eyes.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Four grown men can't just vanish into thin air! Stop talking nonsense, or I'll waste my bullets!"

The leader roared and pressed the cold muzzle of his gun against the man's head as if he wanted to pierce it, until the man's face was pressed against the dirty floor.

"I really don't know. If you don't believe me, ask them. They just disappeared without a trace."

The man, his face pressed to the ground, cried, his vision blurred. He struggled to lift his head and look at his leader, begging for mercy. But then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a dark shadow in the sky under the faint moonlight, swooping down toward the ground.

Before he could react, the figure swooped down like a falcon, grabbed the leader in front of him, and then drew a perfect arc in the air before landing on the roof of a truck.

It was Luo Wei. He had just rescued four people and wanted to rescue a few more before taking action, but he didn't expect the leader to be so perceptive and immediately notice that four were missing. Helpless, he had no choice but to take action first and eliminate the source of the danger so that there would be no more danger.

"A superhuman!?"

At this moment, the leader was being held up by the collar, his eyes level with the tall figure in front of him. He tried to struggle but to no avail; the strength of that hand was simply too great, and he couldn't break free at all.

"Damn it, let go of our boss!"

"Everyone, come quick! We're under attack!"

"Kid, don't mess around, bullets don't have eyes!"

Hearing the shouts, all the thugs rushed over, and in an instant, dozens of them surrounded the truck where Luo Wei was, raising their long guns and aiming them at him.

The hostages crouching on the ground cautiously looked up and saw Luo Wei standing on the truck. Some were puzzled, while others showed hope. They were wondering if this person had come to rescue them, after all, four people had just been taken away.

"Kid, I don't know whose side you're on, but you've messed with the wrong person. This is Boss Liu's territory, and the goods belong to Boss Liu. Go find out who Boss Liu is!"

Even with his feet dangling in the air, the leader still managed to forcefully brace himself against the wall and threaten others.

"You should save these words for the police. I'm not interested in listening. Oh, and I recorded your conversation, but I'll trouble you to repeat it to the officer later."

Luo Wei held up a voice recorder, which he always carried with him for recording purposes. He never expected the leader to suddenly vomit it up.

As he spoke, he threw the leader off the truck, shook his hand, and said, "Don't change your story when you get arrested."

"you!"

below.

Seeing that he had been tricked, the leader roared in rage, "Damn it, this kid is an official, shoot him dead!"

bang bang bang! ! !

The men were initially hesitant, worried that they might shoot and hurt their boss. But now, after receiving the order, they all pulled the trigger without hesitation. In an instant, sparks flew everywhere, and countless bullets rained down, forming a net that flew towards Luo Wei!

Luo Wei stood motionless in front of the truck, seemingly unable to react in time, or perhaps unable to dodge the hail of bullets even if he moved.

"It's over."

The hostages, who had been hoping to be rescued, were now filled with despair. The intense flames and deafening gunshots made them scream and cover their heads. The light of hope in their minds was shattered once again, because no one could withstand such intense power. Even a truck would be instantly destroyed, let alone the man in the truck who was a mortal.

"Hahaha, go to hell!"

The leader grinned wildly, completely unafraid of the bullets whizzing overhead and the smoke and flames billowing behind him.

Because compared to these...

The sight of the man dead in the truck only fueled his excitement and anticipation!

however.

After a burst of gunfire, thick white smoke filled the air. The truck, riddled with holes under the dim moonlight, had no bodies falling down. Only the crisp clanging of bullet casings echoed. On the contrary, the tall figure from before was still standing there.

"Are you done? If you're done, it's my turn."

Luo Wei casually patted off non-existent dust, straightened his perfectly intact clothes, and asked with an air of nonchalance.

And those deep, powerful eyes were gradually emitting a crimson glow, which grew stronger and stronger, almost bursting forth!

Chapter 13: It's Over

Under the moonlight, blood mist mingled with waves of heat, and the air was thick with the pungent smell of blood. Piles of corpses lay on the black soil, their charred flesh revealing the inhuman injuries they had suffered before their deaths. A few surviving figures stood trembling on the pile of corpses, including the former leader, who was now clutching his severed arm, his expression pained and ferocious. The blood dripping at his feet suggested that the intense heat had melted his arm.

This is the scene that Qingyi saw when she arrived. Everything in front of her was like hell, and a dense sense of fear crept over her whole body.

"You should be glad you're special, otherwise you'd all be stuck in the same group as them."

Luo Wei patted the leader on the shoulder, and the man's legs immediately went weak, and he fell to the ground with a "thud." In the pale moonlight, his face looked even paler, and his trembling, reddened eyes revealed fear, as if he had just walked through hell.

Luo Wei chuckled contemptuously and looked at Qingyi, shouting, "Qingyi, you've come at the right time. Tie them up."

Then, looking at the crowd huddled together beside the truck not far away, he said, "Wait here, the authorities will send people to take you home soon."

Beside the truck, and inside the truck, the kidnapped victims huddled together, too afraid to utter a sound. No one responded. Several tried to step forward but were pulled back by those behind them. Some even kept their heads down, too afraid to move. The carnage they had just witnessed was still haunting their minds. They were afraid of Luo Wei, even though he had done it to save them from the thugs. Luo Wei was also a ruthless killer, equally terrifying.

"Hey"

Seeing the fear in everyone's eyes, Luo Wei shook his head helplessly.

As expected, his performance was too strong and brutal. Even though he was a superhero, it would still frighten ordinary people. This was unavoidable. However, Luo Wei didn't care about this. He always liked to do things his own way. As long as he was right, he didn't need to care about other people's opinions.

On the Qingyi side, several surviving thugs have already been tied up and handed over to the authorities as witnesses. This is why Luo Wei didn't kill them, but the court will give these guys a fair trial later.

Then he walked over and said, “Your killings terrified them. You shouldn’t have killed those people; it only brought you trouble. Besides, any criminal who hasn’t been tried is innocent. How can you know who deserved to die?”

"I knew you'd say that, which is why you saved that pickpocket before."

Luo Wei said slowly and deliberately.

"No, that's another matter. I didn't know he was a pickpocket. I thought he was an ordinary person."

The woman in green slightly lifted her mask, revealing a small gap as she gasped for breath, and continued, "But even if he is a pickpocket, I will still save him."

"What if he's a psychopathic killer?"

Luo Wei's next question immediately stunned Qingyi: "If it were a psychopathic killer who had committed many crimes, would you still save him?"

"will not."

The woman in green shook her head in reply.

"Because you also think that such people are extremely heinous, right? So when you answered me, you didn't hesitate at all, even if it was true."

"You might have the urge to kill him."

As Luo Wei spoke, he turned to look at the house behind him. In the dim light, the wooden house looked eerie. Several strange birds flew over the roof with cries and perched on the big tree outside. Their gray eyes stared at the strangers below. Those birds were owls. In the countryside, many people regard these birds as symbols of evil and bad luck and call them harbingers of death.

At that moment, several owls landed on the roof, emitting piercing cries that echoed throughout the camp, making the damp and moldy wooden cabin appear even more eerie.

"follow me."

Luo Wei glanced at the owl and walked towards the cabin. The woman in green behind him quickly followed. The two pushed open the rotten and soft wooden door. Because of the power outage, the cabin was dark. The wooden planks underfoot creaked, and there was a stench in the air. With the help of the moonlight streaming in from the window, they could vaguely see some empty wine bottles and several flashlights on the table.

Snapped!

Qingyi didn't have superhuman eyesight, so she went up and grabbed a flashlight. The moment she turned it on, the scene inside the house came into view. It was just an ordinary wooden house, except that the wooden planks on the ground were moldy, rotten, and soft, which was a bit out of place for the autumn season.

"The bottom is empty."

Qingyi stepped on it and found that the wooden plank under her feet was a vacuum.

"follow me."

Luo Wei didn't want to say much, but pulled him around to the back of the cabin. There was a downward-facing wooden door at the back, which was locked. After pulling it open forcefully, the pungent, musty smell inside became even stronger.

What exactly are you going to show me?

"I asked in blue."

Luo Wei remained silent, only responding with his deep, angry eyes.

So, with a puzzled look in her eyes, Qingyi followed the footsteps and walked through the wooden door. Behind it was a passageway, and down the steps all the way to the bottom, into the basement. The stench and musty smell became increasingly pungent, making her dizzy and lightheaded. If it weren't for the hood, the pungent smell would probably have made her vomit.

"arrive."

Luo Wei stopped, snatched the flashlight from his hand, and shone it forward.

next second.

The sight that came into view made Qingyi freeze in place. In the dark, damp basement with mold on the walls, piles of clothes of various styles, including adult and children's, dresses, short shirts, and blouses, were piled up. Water dripped from the wooden boards from time to time, making the clothes wet and look old and black.

Looking further inside, there were piles of suitcases and bags, all emptied and left in a damp corner.

"These are all the victims' belongings?"

As Qingyi opened his mouth, he accidentally inhaled the mixed, foul, musty smell, which almost made him vomit on the spot.

"Yes."

As Luo Wei spoke, he picked up a wooden stick and peeled back the layers of clothing. Then, with a forceful flick, a severed finger was pulled out. Whether it was due to excessive force or intentional, the severed finger flew towards the face of the man in blue.

"grass"

Qingyi brushed off the severed finger, but instead of cursing Luo Wei, he looked into the pile of clothes and saw several more severed fingers. His eyes, which had been closed by the stench, froze and then gradually widened.

Do you still think they are innocent?

Luo Wei covered the severed finger with his clothes. "These must have been left over from the destruction process, or perhaps they weren't taken in time."

"Destroy it? God knows what other things these beasts have done."

He wasn't exaggerating; judging from the pile of clothes alone, the number of victims was enormous. It reminded him of his past life, when a large number of corpses mysteriously surfaced in a certain sea area. An investigation revealed that the corpses were all recently missing persons, perhaps cruelly disposed of for some reason.

"You already knew?"

Looking at the pile of clothes that emitted a foul stench, Qingyi finally couldn't bear to look at it any longer and looked away, asking a question.
