Film and Television: The Collector Who Rampages Across the Heavens

Chapter 93 "Taken"

"Incorrect answer."

'

Su Li took a map out of the car and handed it to Betty, who unfolded the folded map and saw that it contained the locations marked by the hunters and a route map.

"Sir, may I ask what this is?"

The chubby ambassador in the black suit tried to argue, but Zuli, standing next to him, took out a Nepalese katana and slashed it across his neck.

"Uh, no————"

The ambassador instinctively covered his neck, making a hissing sound. Within seconds, blood from his veins burst through his fingers and gushed out.

Tang was terrified when he saw this: "You—you killed him?"

"What else?"

Zurich used his scimitar to wipe the blood off the ambassador's body.

Betty looked at the map and asked, "What do we do next? Leave here, or...?"

Tang looked at the two men, walked closer, patted the car, and said, "I think since we already know how to leave, there's no need to get entangled with these people. It's best to find the real embassy, ​​explain the situation, and leave this damn place."

"Su, what about you?" Betty looked at Su Li.

The latter stood up, pulled out the pistol from the ambassador's waist and handed it to her, then sat in the driver's seat, showing her what to do through his actions.

Betty smiled, biting her lip, and got into the passenger seat.

"Hey, what about me?" Tang stood there, looking lost and helpless.

"You can wait for us to come back here," Betty replied.

"Me alone?"

Tang glanced at the boundless wilderness and shook his head: "Damn it, I'd better go with you guys."

By the time we arrived at the bunker where the hunters were gathered, it was already night. The fortress, hidden underground, was occasionally flashed with light, and the surrounding trees were covered with night vision cameras.

But all these arrangements were blind to Su Li, who possessed telekinesis; he led the way.

"Follow me—"

Judging from Betty and Don's location, their three-person team had cleverly slipped through the bunker's defenses and reached the vicinity undetected.

"There are 7 people inside the bunker, and 5 armed guards on the outside."

Zuli handed the Nepalese kukri to Betty and asked, "Can you take care of the two on the left?"

"Believe me----"

Betty winked her left eye at him, then bent down and stealthily disappeared into the night.

Just as Su Li was about to leave, Tang grabbed her sleeve from behind and asked, "What about me?"

"You stay here."

With a casual remark, Su Li also slipped into the thick of the night. When she was not far from an armed man, she estimated the distance and focused her mental energy to smash it hard into the man's head.

The armed militants on guard felt as if their brains were being torn apart by a terrifying force. The intense pain exploded instantly, and bright red blood spurted from their eyes, noses, mouths, and ears.

Another armed man on the flank was also caught off guard by Su Li, who circled around from behind and snapped his neck.

"There's one more—"

Not long after, when the last armed patrolmen circled around, they saw the two corpses on the ground. Just as they were about to warn the attackers, a military knife pierced through the back of their necks and killed them.

He never knew who killed him until he died.

Later, Betty also took down two militants on the other side and came over. The two of them approached the entrance of the bunker and listened to the conversation inside.

"We need to launch a strong attack this time."

The bunker wasn't large, but it was densely packed with people, so there was no chance to eliminate them one by one silently.

Su Li handed him a hand grenade, which the latter immediately recognized: "Where did this come from?"

"Made by magic—on my command, one, two, three, throw!"

Pulling the pins, two grenades were thrown into the bunker. A series of muffled screams followed by explosions filled the small space inside, which was engulfed by sparks and shrapnel, accompanied by screams of agony.

Zuli, armed with an M-type rifle, was the first to rush in and begin firing.

"Da da da da————"

The explosion killed or injured several people inside, and even the least injured were dizzy and unable to get up.

When Betty came in, hugging the wall, there was only one woman with an injured arm left on the floor.

"Why were we captured and brought here to be hunted down?"

The woman frowned, clutching her wound, a grim smile on her face: "You asked for it!"

Betty was a little confused, but the woman explained the reason to her: the manor hunting game was originally a topic of gossip among a few wealthy people, but someone somehow leaked it online.

Then some extremists embellished the story, claiming that rich people were actually capturing poor people and taking them to their estates for hunting and amusement.

Some were ousted by shareholders using the opportunity, some lost their jobs, and others lost a lot of money.

In a fit of rage, he turned the fake into the real and brought it here to hunt it down.

"I'm sorry, I've never discussed these topics before. You've come to the wrong person." Betty shook her head sincerely.

The woman chuckled, clearly not believing it.

Betty raised the gun, and a bullet sent the woman to hell.

Su Li, sitting on a stool next to him, asked with a smile, "I thought you wouldn't kill her?"

"She wanted to kill me; the truth is no longer needed."

Even after returning to civilian life, Betty's decisive personality remains unchanged, despite being a veteran who fought in Afghanistan.

At this moment, the security guard, Fatty Tang, arrived late. He looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Has everything been resolved?"

The words had barely left his lips when a cold, female voice came through the walkie-talkie plugged in beside him: "Su, did you take care of the other two?"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became deathly silent, and Su Li was speechless.

"Damn it, you're one of their hunters too?"

Tang grabbed his pistol, aimed it at Su Li, and asked with a hostile look in his eyes.

"Would you believe me if I said I wasn't—that she was the one sowing discord?"

The woman with the walkie-talkie in the movie, who is also the final boss Athena, instigated Don and Betty to fight each other one last time.

Su Li stood out too much this time, so the mastermind behind the scenes set his sights on him.

Tang sneered: "You think I believe that?"

"Betty, who do you believe?" Su Li looked at the woman next to her.

Betty bit her lower lip, raised her gun, and then pulled the trigger under Don's astonished gaze.

"Da da da!"

Bullets, sparks flying, pierced Tang's obese body, riddling him with holes in the blink of an eye.

"Why—why?"

In his final moments, Tang asked with a puzzled expression.

The walkie-talkie was clearly talking about this damn guy, so why kill him?

Betty tilted her head and explained, "I trust my comrades who fought alongside me more than you."

After saying that, she threw the empty gun to the ground, walked in front of Su Li, and with a light leap, her slender legs wrapped around his strong waist.

Her fair arms wrapped around Su Li's neck, and she offered her fragrant lips to him.

Su Li was slightly surprised, but the next second he responded proactively.

After a brief exchange of words, he patted the woman's shapely buttocks.

"There's one last enemy. Once we take care of her, we can leave this place."

"Mmm!" Betty said, her eyes sparkling.

After collecting the ammunition from the battlefield, the two arrived at the last manor under the cover of night.

A huge European-style villa, complete with an outdoor swimming pool, garage, lawn, and more. There is also a runway behind the villa that can be used for airplanes to take off and land.

"Explosives were planted all around, and there were 12 armed men on the perimeter. The woman inside the villa must be the one who spoke through the walkie-talkie."

"6

With a burst of telekinesis, Su Li looked at Betty and instructed, "I'll handle the villa; you take control of the plane."

Betty asked with slight concern, "Are you sure you can manage on your own?"

"Believe me----"

Same as before, same answer.

He lowered his head and kissed Betty's red lips, then Su Li, gun slung over his shoulder, disappeared into the night.

Not long after, the sound of frying beans and the explosion of grenades came from inside the villa, and the nearby armed men all moved closer to the sound of the explosion.

As the approaching armed personnel drew closer, Su Li retrieved a rocket launcher from her storage space, loaded it with ammunition, and aimed.

Rpg

'

"boom!"

The massive explosion brought countless shrapnel and flames, engulfing three or four fully armed men.

He tossed the rocket launcher into his storage space and casually switched to an M203 grenade launcher, whose power was comparable to a close-range mortar. He fired shot after shot, leaving the enemy completely bewildered.

Inside the villa, Athena watched the dust being kicked up from the building and heard the terrible noise. She thought the local army had attacked!

"We can't hold them off, their firepower is just too overwhelming!"

"Shit, where did that guy get so many heavy weapons?"

"ah----"

The walkie-talkie was filled with angry curses. When the last sentence disappeared, all the combat team members on the perimeter were killed.

Athena took a deep breath, her composure and elegance vanished, and she picked up her Hermès bag from the sofa, ready to leave.

What seemed like a sure victory turned into a complete rout by the two players.

She had originally wanted to have a hand-to-hand fight to show off her strength, but seeing the situation, it was better to save her life and run away.

As soon as the back door opened, her long, beautiful leg had just crossed the threshold when a Desert Eagle was pressed against her forehead.

"Hi—I think we can talk."

Looking at the woman of average appearance, Su Li shook his head and pulled the trigger. The bullet shot out and pierced through her entire skull.

The telekinetic energy spread out, and there was no trace of any living person left in the entire villa.

At this moment, Betty, having taken control of all the crew members, also rushed over. Seeing that Su Li was safe and sound, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her fair and spirited face.

He threw down his gun, ran quickly, and bumped into Su Li while carrying the ball.

The two embraced and shared a passionate kiss, then stumbled and disappeared into the living room.

When I woke up the next day, it was early morning. The bright dawn light pierced through the treetops, carrying the leaves and shining on the floor, casting dappled shadows.

Betty, her back aching, got out of bed, grabbed a shirt from the closet, changed into it, and strode downstairs with her shapely, fair legs.

The steak smells delicious, the aroma is so rich!

Was it a good dream?

He placed a perfectly cooked steak on a plate, pushed it over, and glanced at the large, foreign woman.

Su Li, dressed in her pajamas, poured herself a glass of red wine and asked with a smile.

-

"I don't know if it's a pleasant dream, but my mind is filled with images of you?"

Betty took the wine glass, said thank you, and stared unblinkingly at the man behind the kitchen bar: "Back to our previous topic, are you going back to the US?"

"Not for now. I don't know what kind of trouble it would cause if we killed these people. I think it's better to lay low for a while."

After thinking for a moment, Su Li said, "I plan to go to Paris for a while first."

"Then we might have to part ways, because I have other places to go."

Betty's fair and aloof face showed a helpless expression. She was very satisfied and liked this man very much, in every way.

"It's okay, I can be there for you anytime you need me."

Su Li clinked glasses with her, took a sip of her drink, and said, "If you encounter any problems, you can always come to me."

"I need you right now, I really need you—" Betty blinked and said cheerfully.

Su Li laughed, befitting her bold and fiery foreign woman, and put down her wine glass.

The morning sun is shining brightly, making it a perfect time for exercise.

It wasn't until noon that Zurich ransacked the villa of all the valuables before helping the limp Betty board her private plane and leave Croatia.

Around 3 p.m., Zurich appeared at the Paris airport. Before leaving, he and Betty exchanged contact information so that they could be reached with a single phone call if needed.

"Paris in the movie is also one of the cities that has suffered many disasters, so coming here should trigger some plot points —"

Zurich pondered for a moment, then hailed a taxi. After leaving the airport, he exchanged some French currency and rented an apartment through an agency.

Located on the fourth floor, the room is spacious and includes a balcony, living room, bedroom, wardrobe, and bathroom. The decor is also quite nice.

While there was still time, Su Li went to the supermarket and bought some vegetables, meat, seasonings, and daily necessities such as a mobile phone.

These past two days he'd been either fighting or on the run, and he was exhausted both mentally and physically. He took a bath at night and fell asleep, sleeping soundly until dawn, when he was woken up by music coming from upstairs.

"Yeah!"

"lwasrightallalong (I am always right)"

"Yeah"

"You've always been a part of my memory."

"Damn it, how can foreigners be so rude?"

Wearing her pajamas, Su Li got out of bed and, watching the music that could shake the roof off, shook her head helplessly.

I went to the kitchen and took out various ingredients from the refrigerator to prepare breakfast.

Meanwhile, on the fifth floor, two girls from Los Angeles, USA, were jumping and skipping excitedly.

A tall, slender white woman with brown hair and a blue vest noticed her phone ringing incessantly in her pocket. She gestured to her best friend and went to the bathroom across the street to answer it.

"Hi, Dad————"

As soon as the call connected, the father on the other end immediately berated me: "What did I say? Didn't you promise to call me when you got there?"

Maggie quickly explained, "Sorry, I left my phone in my bag!"

"Okay, okay, who are you with in Amanda's family right now? I'd like to talk to him for a bit."

She leaned against the bathroom wall, a helpless expression on her fair face. This father cared about her a lot, to the point of being excessive and even repulsive.

"Amanda's family is gone—"

Just as Maggie opened her mouth to speak, a scene in the living room in the distance startled her.

Four or five burly foreign men rushed into the living room, grabbed the woman's girlfriend, and dragged her out. She struggled, but to no avail.

"Someone has come in!"

The father across from me asked in a deep voice, "Are they family members?"

"No, God, they've taken Amanda." Maggie was instantly terrified, her hand trembling as she gripped her phone.

"What?!"

Brian, a top-tier retired special agent, immediately sensed the panic in his daughter's voice: "Maggie, calm down, calm down."

"They took him away—"

Maggie was so frightened that her long legs went weak, and she almost collapsed in the bathroom, but with her agent father's comforting words, she took deep breaths and gradually calmed down.

"Maggie, listen to me, every message you give is important. I'm asking you—who did you encounter on the plane?"

"No!" Maggie's voice was trembling with tears.

"What about the airport?"

"Pete, a guy named Pete—"

The father and daughter exchanged important information one-on-one, but Maggie soon saw the group of people who had kidnapped Amanda heading her way.

"They're coming, Dad, what should I do? I'm so scared."

"Listen, Maggie, focus. I'm asking you, how many people are there in total?"

Meanwhile, Brian, far away in Los Angeles, USA, quickly took out his agent's briefcase.

Maggie glanced at it quickly and said uncertainly, "Three or four? I can't tell."

"Where are you located?"

"Toilet----"

"Go to the bedroom next door right now, crawl under the bed, and listen to me."

"Clatter!"

Su Li cracked an egg into a bowl and stirred it. The music upstairs suddenly stopped, replaced by various sounds of fighting and screaming.

"Help----"

"What the hell?"

Su Li was speechless. He used his telekinesis to penetrate the floor and enter the room upstairs. What was happening there made him pause for a moment.

Four tall, burly foreign men pinned a girl with a high ponytail to the floor, taped her mouth and nose shut, and locked her hands and legs tightly, as if they were about to kidnap her.

[Hint: The story of Taken has begun —]

"So that's what it is?"

Upon hearing this prompt, Su Li suddenly realized that she was currently at a crucial moment in the plot.

The movie is about two best friends who go on vacation to Paris but are kidnapped by gangsters. Their father, a retired top agent, travels all the way to Paris to fight against the criminals.

Based on the movies he had seen, this kidnapping gang was not simple; they not only trafficked people but also dealt in laundry detergent, making them a transnational organization.

It seems that in the second part, someone was specifically assigned to seek revenge against this family.

"I can trigger plot events wherever I go; I've become Conan."

Su Li made a self-deprecating remark, then walked out of the room in her pajamas and took the elevator from the 4th floor to the 5th floor.

The door was halfway open. He stepped inside and saw two gangsters in the living room dealing with Amanda, who immediately started whimpering when she saw him.

"Gentlemen, you're making such a racket, it's disturbing the peace."

The gangster in the baseball cap and the bearded man exchanged a glance and said something in English.

The man on the left pulled out a pistol and aimed it at him, while the man on the right drew a dagger, clearly intending to silence him.

The bearded man stepped forward, revealing a cruel sneer, and said in English, "Sir, you're unlucky to have met us."

He gripped the dagger and stabbed it into Su Li's chest with ruthless ferocity, aiming directly for the heart.

"The movements are too slow."

Su Li didn't dodge. He struck second, his movements as fast as lightning. He grabbed the wrist that was thrusting at him, twisted it gently, and the sound of bones breaking rang out. The dagger slowly fell to the ground and was caught by his other hand.

Seeing the baseball cap about to fire, he used all his strength to throw it with his mind.

With a "thud," the dagger pierced through the mouth of the man in the baseball cap and down to the back of his head, causing him to fall straight to the ground.

Bearded Guy clutched his broken wrist, but before he could retaliate, Su Li grabbed his head and slammed it hard against the coffee table next to him. Shards of glass pierced his face, and the scene was horrific!

Amanda on the ground was stunned, her beautiful eyes filled with joy and excitement.

Picking up the apple knife from the ground, Su Li cut the tape wrapped around her mouth, then her wrists and legs.
