Chapter 130: A Lone Gunfight
Chapter 130: A Lone Gunfight
Someone's coming!
Hearing footsteps from the stairwell, Lyon, who had already demolished half of the dungeon, immediately stopped and pulled the female police officer back, then reached out to block the Black Goat's horns.
"Commissioner?"
Looking at the scarred strongman descending the stairs, the female police officer, despite being prepared, couldn't help but feel a surge of unexplained sorrow.
Although their own commissioner had a small "heart," and always chose to avoid trouble, never wanting to get involved in any mess, he was actually a decent person.
The two had worked together in the Secret Investigation Bureau for several years, completing nearly a hundred missions as partners, and even experiencing life-and-death crises together. In her heart, she considered him almost like an elder relative.
But who would have known that the commissioner was actually a rebel faction member within the Secret Investigation Bureau, and all their past experiences were fake! Even the crises she had encountered might have been planned by the enemy!
"Isa."
After glancing at the female police officer's complex expression, perhaps recalling their past experiences, the scarred strongman's face softened slightly, and he sighed,
"Since things have come to this, I won't say much more.
I don't hate you, but unfortunately, you are the daughter of the Minister of Defense, and we are ultimately not on the same side. The harder you work, the deeper the kingdom will sink into the abyss...
So, I'm sorry, today, not only will he die, but you will too."
Hearing the scarred strongman's words, the female police officer clenched her teeth and didn't respond to his words. Instead, she glared at him with anger and said,
"Last year, the rebels found Aunt Martha's location. She was kidnapped on her way to pick up her daughter from school, and her body was later dumped in the trash yard on Ship Bridge Street. Was that...?"
"I didn't do it, but I did send the information."
The scarred strongman sighed,
"Martha was a good person, but she was in charge of coordinating with the Royal Guard. Only she knew the routes of the Princess and the Prime Minister. So, I had no choice but to report her address.
And it's not just her. Among the over forty people who died in the Bureau these past few years, about a third of them were killed or captured because I leaked intelligence. Some of them were your friends and acquaintances.
I'm sorry. They weren't all despicable scoundrels, but sometimes, people have to go against their own hearts and do things..."
"Bang!"
"Hmm... Since it's come to this, let's end the conversation here."
After touching the bullet hole in his forehead, the scarred strongman looked at the female police officer in front of him, who maintained her shooting stance with a shocked expression. He shook his head and then turned to look at Lyon, who was standing in front of the female police officer.
"Isa shot me, why didn't you take action? I went to the Lane Manor and saw that you should have a terrifyingly powerful anomaly."
"..."
Glancing at the scarred strongman, who had been shot in the forehead but was still alive and well, Lyon judged that this guy wasn't the type to easily reveal his abilities. So, he ignored the question and continued searching for the location of the enemy's main body.
In the instant he heard the footsteps, Lyon, who had always been vigilant, had already used the Black Goat's Materialist Soul to check on the enemy's situation. The "scarred strongman" in front of them had a physical body, but there was no soul within it, just an odd empty shell.
Stranger still, in the Black Goat's vision, the world showed no changes at all, and the souls of the Secret Investigation Bureau members appeared completely normal. It was as if the loud noise from demolishing the dungeon hadn't existed at all.
As for the souls of other prisoners and guards in the dungeon, they remained in the empty cells, even floating right in front of them, as if they were in a different "layer" than themselves!
Just as Lyon was pondering the true nature of the Scarface Bully's ability, the female police officer, unconvinced, emptied her magazine with six shots.
Facing her skilled American Iaido, the Scarface Bully, without attempting to dodge, took the shots directly to his face, rendering it unrecognizable, even for the most censored of television screens.
But he still didn't die, and even with his mouth open, he tried to say something. Only after the female police officer replaced her air tank and fired another shot at his throat did he finally lie down.
"It seems you really aren't going to fight."
With steady footsteps, another "Scarface Bully" emerged from the stairwell, kicked his own corpse on the ground, and stood before Lyon and the female police officer.
Seeing Lyon glance at him and then furrow his brows in thought, the new Scarface Bully shook his head in exasperation.
"You are cautious... I guess."
As the Scarface Bully spoke, he unfastened the clasp on his tactical belt, and in less than 0.5 seconds, he completed the entire process of drawing his gun, releasing the safety, and aiming, pointing the dark barrel directly at Lyon's forehead.
However, even though he was fast, he wasn't faster than the female police officer, who had maintained her shooting stance.
Apparently realizing that shooting at the head was ineffective, the female police officer aimed at the Scarface Bully's wrist, preventing him from shooting Lyon.
"Ugh..."
Looking at his wrist, which had been shot through, the Scarface Bully glared at the female police officer with dissatisfaction, seemingly unhappy with her interference. But the next second, he was shot in the throat again and fell back.
"So troublesome!"
With a slight grumble of annoyance, two Scarface Bullies emerged from the stairwell and drew their guns from a distance.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The female police officer, gritting her teeth in shock at the number of Commissioners, fired in rapid succession, managing to shoot down both Commissioners before they could return fire.
However, the sound of well-coordinated footsteps echoed again, and over a dozen Scarface Bullies emerged from the stairwell, simultaneously unfastening the clasps on their belts...
What the hell are these things?!
Seeing the Commissioners raise their pistols in unison, the female police officer's scalp tingled with fear. She kicked open the door of the interrogation room beside her, intending to pull Lyon, who seemed to have been scared witless, inside to hide.
But this time, the Scarface Commissioners were quicker. Before the female police officer could grab Lyon's shoulder and push him into the interrogation room, the gun barrels were already aimed at the perfect angle.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
Over a dozen triggers were pulled in rapid succession, first creating a deafening roar, followed by a barrage of gunshots like a heavy downpour in the narrow, dimly lit dungeon corridor.
