Chapter 178

Jeffrey's eyes subconsciously followed the downward movement of the magazine.

'Phew... He knew it! Even if it's just a drill, even if they're currently on opposing sides, the Class Monitor wouldn't actually shoot him!'

Just as Jeffrey's heart, which had been in his throat, began to settle back into his stomach along with the falling magazine, he felt a cool touch on his forehead.

"?"

Jeffrey's body, which had just relaxed, tensed up abruptly, and his lowered head stiffly lifted up.

Qin Su unloaded the magazine with one hand, keeping a close eye on Jeffrey's movements while also keeping a close watch on Sophia and the other two out of the corner of his eye.

Jeffrey was pulled up and brought to his eyes, while the other three, due to the sudden turn of events with Jeffrey, were within his side-view of vision and could clearly see the instant his fingers twitched and he pulled the trigger...

Bang--

The tense atmosphere caused everyone to hold their breath. In the quiet environment, even the slightest 'click' sound seemed to be amplified countless times and clearly transmitted to the ears of He Muzhi and his two companions, who were quite a distance away, through Jeffrey 'Optical Brain's team Communication Channel.

The sound of an empty gunshot was a clear signal to the other three that they didn't need to be too careful, as he couldn't actually hurt Jeffrey. If they didn't shoot him, all four of them would get a scolding when Teacher Mei Qingyu analyzed the video frame by frame.

Despite not wanting to be targeted, from the perspective of their Class Monitor, Qin Su still preferred the decisiveness they showed a few seconds earlier when they ruthlessly 'secretly' tried to harm him.

When the teacher analyzed the lesson, everyone who read it said that he taught well, even though he didn't teach most of the time and it was all "realized" by Class 6) themselves.

Even an empty shot has a slight residual force, let alone one fired at such a dangerous point as the forehead.

The force of the impact pressed against Jeffrey's forehead, instantly affecting his brain. In a flash, Jeffrey clearly felt his heart skip a beat. From his brain to his limbs, his entire body seemed to be controlled by Qin Su. He first experienced extreme tension, then a brief relaxation, and finally, he was caught off guard and 'killed'. His brain exploded, numb from head to toe, and he suddenly stopped thinking.

Jeffrey's pupils dilated instinctively as he looked into Qin Su's cold, black eyes that were looking down at him. He swallowed hard, feeling as if the world around him had lost its color, leaving only the powerless feeling of being controlled by Qin Su.

[(Heart) Unloading the magazine doesn't mean you won't fire! Who knows what this amazing item is like?! (Completely insane) (Werewolf's clothes ripped off. jpg)]

[No, shouldn't we have chosen He Muzhi as the target first? @He Muzhi, have you been relegated to the sidelines?]

[(Straightens his tie with a flourish) (Pushes Jeffrey aside) (Kneels on one knee) (Grabs the gun and points it at his forehead) (Pulls out a speakerphone from behind him and shouts at the top of his lungs) "I'll become a ghost under the King Su's gun!"]

[I'm temporarily switching allegiances to this site to binge-watch!]

[Unnoticed by anyone, He Muzhi found himself behind Jeffrey in line. He Muzhi was about to cry himself to sleep in the bathroom.]

Seeing this scene, not only the viewers in the live chat were surprised, but also the three people who were "watching".

Neither He Muzhi nor Sophia and Sheng Shuang expected Qin Su to suddenly attack Jeffrey.

Unbeknownst to them, based on past experiences and the fact that Qin Su had attacked He Muzhi first at the beginning, the four of them, including Jeffrey, subconsciously believed that if Qin Su were to target them first, He Muzhi would be the first to be hit.

When Jeffrey became the target of Qin Su's attack, the other three were stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

Qin Su was faster than them. As they tried to rescue Jeffrey from their respective positions, they saw Qin Su snatch the weapon from Jeffrey's hand, easily reversing the situation. Among them, who were carrying out the Assassination, there was a 'hostage' in the hands of the Assassination Target, Qin Su.

The mission was paramount, including their own lives. Faced with a hostage situation beyond saving, they knew they should fire decisively to prevent their comrades' lives from being threatened.

But... but...

'They can't do it, they simply can't.'

In other words, just as they were about to open their mouths to say something, not daring to shoot Qin Su in order to ensure the safety of their own hostages, the magazine containing Particle Bullets fell to the ground with a thud.

Qin Su's actions always surprised them. Questions flashed through the four men's minds as they witnessed Qin Su firing blank shots at Jeffrey.

A brief moment of shock, followed by Qin Su's 'blank shot', made the three realize that the 'hostage, though seemingly dead, was not actually dangerous,' and they launched an attack on Qin Su almost simultaneously...

Swoosh--

Hearing the different sounds of weapons firing, Qin Su, who had already carefully observed the three men's positions, casually tossed the weapon he had seized from Jeffrey towards the spot he had already chosen, and at the same time kicked Jeffrey...

"Ah!"

Jeffrey was caught off guard and kicked, letting out a muffled groan as he staggered backward. His weapon was also kicked to the ground by Qin Su, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw something quickly slip away from him.

The weapon that Qin Su threw out dangled on a protruding part of the banquet hall wall and swayed a few times. Qin Su then used the force of his military boot kicking Jeffrey in the chest to quickly retreat.

The spot where he had been standing was damaged to varying degrees by three different weapons within a second of him retreating.

As the gunfire subsided, Qin Su leaned against the exquisitely carved, openwork corridor pillars, braced his hands on the railing, nimbly spun around, and quickly plummeted down, grabbing the rope with one hand.

During his descent, Qin Su caught a glimpse of Jeffrey's dropped weapon on the ground. But remembering what he had seen on the live stream, he had no desire to touch it and simply ignored it.

Just after Sophia and the other two finished firing their shots, they saw Jeffrey being kicked backward and couldn't help but cast worried glances at him. Then they noticed Qin Su jumping straight down from the second floor, and their attention was immediately drawn to him.

Seeing the black rope sliding down with Qin Su, Sheng Shuang pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Hearing the distinct sound of the machinery starting up, Qin Su put himself in Qin Su's shoes and roughly knew what he would do based on his subconscious reaction in this situation. After judging that the height wouldn't hurt him, he decisively let go of the rope.

Bang!

The bullet landed precisely on the rope, and by the time it collided with the rope and emitted a tiny burst of light, it was too late.

He Muzhi and the other two did not expect Qin Su to let go ahead of time.

Hearing the sound of Sheng Shuang's gunshots, their gazes shifted downwards, and they saw the rope that had snapped in mid-air land a step later than Qin Su.

When the rope fell to the ground, Qin Su was already in a position similar to kneeling on one knee. His military uniform jacket was behind him. He supported himself on the table with one hand and stood up calmly in less than an instant. His legs were naturally apart and his black military boots stepped on the long strip of wallpaper spread on the long table. The hem of his military uniform jacket, with its great drape, fell down and made a slight rustling sound.

As Qin Su stood up, the gold tassels on the right side of his military uniform, extending from his chest to his shoulder, swayed slightly, shimmering under the light.

Qin Su stood tall and straight, his cold and stern face calmly watching them.

Even though they were standing above Qin Su, and he was below them, they felt a suffocating sense of oppression as if their positions had been reversed when Qin Su was staring at them.

They looked him up and down, left and right, and Qin Su seemed to be...

Stop pretending, be confident. Qin Su just deliberately played them for a fool. The three of them had mixed feelings.

[Goodness, I'm calling him Master!]

[Who understands the natural arc of the hem of a military uniform as someone deftly flips over and smoothly falls through the air while holding onto a rope with one hand (heart emoji)? The elegant fold of her long, slender legs as she lands on one knee, and the way she rests her hand on the ground with the hem of her uniform draped over a table is just too delicious (hiss emoji)]

[More than that! Although he's standing on a table, the overwhelming aura of power emanating from him is palpable! Even the military boots he's standing in expansive positions exude a powerful and intimidating presence; the title of "King Su" is truly well-deserved, as he is constantly ascending the throne!]

[The Supreme Being's YYDS! (Armor Stacking: Anime Only) has my little heart pounding with excitement!]

[The King Su's cold, imposing presence, combined with his military uniform—a symbol of power—embodies authority visually, physically, and in a powerful aura!]

[It's confirmed! Oh, it was just my addiction flaring up. Oh well, it's okay now. (flying pounce)]

"Ouch..." Jeffrey's body slammed heavily against the wall behind him, letting out a cry of pain.

Jeffrey, who had stopped in his tracks, immediately looked at the place he hadn't seen clearly before. He saw that the rope at the other end of the hook he had used up there was taut, and belatedly realized what he had seen flowing in the opposite direction from himself.

Jeffrey didn't see Qin Su; after regaining his balance, he only saw his three companions looking down in astonishment.

Realizing his earlier mistake, Jeffrey dared not linger. He immediately lunged forward, picked up the fallen weapon, unlocked the weapon bay, and rushed towards the railing. "I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jeffrey spotted Qin Su's location.

Qin Su was still standing under the huge crystal Chandelier, but now he had moved from the ground to the table, and a broken rope lay on the ground below.

'So, Qin Su came up, disarmed him, and then used his rope to return to the distance?'

Taking advantage of the two seconds that the four were stunned, Qin Su quickly selected the next target based on their location and environment.

Jeffrey also realized that Qin Su had played him for a fool.

Just as he revealed the same expression as He Muzhi and the other two, he heard He Muzhi's voice in his ear.

"Continue!"

As soon as the voice fell, the four people who had been tricked by Qin Su tried their best to suppress the chaotic thoughts rising in their minds and launched a second attack on Qin Su order to salvage their impression of him.

Just then, the long table under Qin Su's feet suddenly shifted, and the surrounding furnishings also changed.

Sensing the movement and noticing He Muzhi's lip movements, Qin Su, who was already mentally prepared, took advantage of the moment when He Muzhi and the others were surprised and the furnishings were being moved. His movements were completely unaffected. Knowing the position, size, and thickness of the furnishings, he precisely stepped into the right place with each step as the furnishings were moved, without missing a single step.

By the time the four realized the room had changed, Qin Su had already appeared precisely beside Sheng Shuang. As Sheng Shuang fired at him, Qin Su immediately turned and moved toward the inside of the open corridor, deliberately placing one hand on the oval antique mirror on the wall, revealing He Muzhi behind him who was also firing at him.

When He Muzhi saw Qin Su's back exposed in front of him, he thought it was a good opportunity and was about to seize the chance to shoot when Qin Su dodged to the side in the next instant, and he and Sheng Shuang made eye contact.

Upon seeing each other, both men's pupils contracted. Without hesitation, He Muzhi reacted swiftly, moving his gun towards the position Qin Su was avoiding and firing immediately. At the same time, Sheng Shuang coordinated, moving her body to the opposite direction from Qin Su to dodge the Particle Bullet fired by He Muzhi, and simultaneously raising her weapon to fire at Qin Su.

In a flash, Qin Su pulled a mirror off the wall and placed it where He Muzhi had shot at him. Then, leaning back and bending over, he moved it from the inside to the outside at a tricky angle.

In the brief moment that the hem of the Military Academy uniform touched the ground and then billowed up again, before Sheng Shuang could even fire, He Muzhi had fired ahead of time, fired Particle Bullet that struck the oval mirror that Qin Su had extended.

Bang!

The moment it struck, the mirror shattered into pieces, shards flying everywhere. Sheng Shuang instinctively tilted her head and raised her hand to block it.

Seeing his bullets being used by Qin Su to harm their own side, He Muzhi frowned in annoyance and hesitated subconsciously.

Qin Su seized the opportunity, grabbed Sheng Shuang's wrists and pulled hard, causing the gun to slip from Sheng Shuang. Qin Su then caught it.

He Muzhi gritted his teeth and whispered, "Speed up the process!"

Since Firearms couldn't reach Qin Su, they had to move on to Plan B.

Sheng Shuang quickly lowered his hand and swiftly pulled out another weapon from his person.

As soon as He Muzhi finished speaking, countless 'bang bang bang' shots rang out in succession.

In the brief moments when Qin Su was dodging, he clearly realized that many of the bullets were not aimed at him, but rather...

Qin Su glanced at the area below the crystal chandelier. They were clearly using a crystal ornament as the center point of the 'weaving'. When they lured him down, they would simply interrupt that 'weaving point,' which was also the 'support point,' and the already woven net would then cover him.

If he didn't want to get hurt, he had to hide under the table.

The table is surrounded by nets on all sides; isn't that another kind of successful capture?

In the blink of an eye, Qin Su, having grasped the key to the matter, dodged and took the rope belonging to Sheng Shuang He Muzhi the ground. Without unloading the magazine, he secretly smuggled his own bullets into the winding, swirling crystal rope, which gradually narrowed from top to bottom.

The ropes were hidden among layers of overlapping arcs; unless one looked closely, no one would notice that they were being fired in a circular pattern.

Qin Su used the gunfight with He Muzhi and He Muzhi men as cover, and they remained unaware of what was happening.

Qin Su didn't mind contributing to their network.

Based on the weight of the weapon in hand and the weight of each Particle Bullet used by that weapon, he estimated how many bullets were left and quickly switched to He Muzhi as the recipient of the 'replenishment of ammunition'.

Boom boom boom...

For the next ten minutes or so, the room was filled with intermittent sounds of weapon firing, aside from the occasional sounds of fighting.

The lighting changed several times during the event.

Taking advantage of the brief moments when the lights changed or the room suddenly became dark, Qin Su, relying on his knowledge of the sounds made when moving furniture, successfully seized most of the weapons from the four men.

When the twentieth minute arrived, all the lights in the banquet hall went out, allowing the four to catch their breath. As they took a breath in the shadows, they saw various weapons that Qin Su had stolen from them hanging on the decorative items on the surrounding walls.

"It's alright," Sophia encouraged everyone in the channel. "It's okay to be without weapons, anyway, things are almost over, aren't they?"

"This is the only thing that comforts me," Jeffrey gasped for breath.

"Hmm." He Muzhi tried to keep his breathing steady, and said, "When the lights come on again this time, cooperate with me, and I will lead Qin Su down below."

The transparent, lethal material salvaged from a weapon was modified by them and then wrapped around a crystal chandelier, unknowingly forming a web that concealed deadly intent.

Now, it's time to implement their Plan B.

If Plan B succeeds, they can end all of this.

With the table there, given Qin Su's reaction speed, as long as he hides under the table, he won't actually get hurt.

Judging by their estimates, it would probably take them about four and a half hours to clear the level. They wondered what the situation was like with Team 1. Would Team 2 finish first, or Team 1? As for the incident of their military caps breaking earlier, the four avoided thinking about it. Since they didn't have many weapons, even if Qin Su suspected something was wrong, Qin Su didn't know when they would make their move. They... still had a chance.

At the same time, in the darkness, Qin Su tugged at the rope he had stealthily and silently moved to during his 'wandering'.

Except for the one that Jeffrey broke, he secretly moved all the ropes that Sophia and Sheng Shuang were carrying to the positions he wanted.

He didn't know exactly what the four were plotting, but he knew for sure that he had seized Firearms they were carrying, except for the ones He Muzhi had. Since they were using this net as a way to finish things off, He Muzhi probably only had one bullet left.

Rounding up, aside from close combat with themselves, they no longer have any more "Firearms.

So, when the lights come back on, there's a 90% chance they'll choose to be led down.

Thinking of this, Qin Su took a deep breath and gripped the rope in his hand tightly.

Two ropes: one to pull the chandelier, and the other to pull oneself back to avoid entering the dangerous area under the chandelier.

Five seconds later, the banquet hall was brightly lit again.

The moment the lights came on, He Muzhi stepped out of the cover. Before he could even walk toward Qin Su, he saw something fly out of Qin Su's hand.

'Um?'

A clear look of confusion crossed the eyes of the four people. They looked in the direction of the launch and, when they could see what it was, they saw that the hook at the other end of the rope, launched from the weapon in Qin Su's hand, went straight through the middle of the crystal chandelier and was deeply embedded in the object on the other side.

Upon seeing this scene, the four of them immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

Soon, Qin Su's voice rang out.

"Watch closely."

Four people. "?"

Qin Su didn't give the four a chance to react. As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the other end of the rope and jumped down from the height.

"!"

Good news, Qin Su jumped down on his own without them having to lure him.

The bad news is that Qin Su jumped to a location that was not in the area they had planned for.

Click!

The group first heard several cracking sounds of ropes breaking, and finally realized what Qin Su was about to do. They opened their mouths to say something, but when they looked down, they saw the heavy crystal chandelier crash down due to the force of Qin Su pulling it down with his bare hands.

Boom!

With a loud bang, before they could even fire at the 'holding point', the huge crystal chandelier, pulled down by Qin Su, heavily pressed the net down completely.

During his fall, Qin Su did not forget to fire another rope with his gun, using the force to pull himself back in mid-air and land in Safe Zone.

Unharmed.

"..."

Plan B is just... gone?!

Before they even began, while they were using Plan A as cover, running around in a self-righteous act of deception, what about all their previous efforts? Did they just rely on their strength?

They... shouldn't have had any illusions in the first place.

The four men's conviction to Assassination, like the enormous crystal Chandelier, collapsed without them ever having a chance to prepare.

[King Su: Plan B? Tsk, what a load of rubbish, it's all gone, all gone.]

[This scene, who can understand the exhilarating feeling? Today is another day I'm blown away by Qin Su's handsomeness!]

[Family members, I'm kneeling down! It's just knees, right? I'll give King Su!]

[Boss 1! He caught four people completely off guard, hahaha]

[Don't even mention them, I'm just as confused and foolish as they are.]

[That's polite. From beginning to end, none of the four of them could predict Qin Su's every move. Indeed, Qin Su is the shrewdest.]

[What? Qin Su is spicy? Tell me in detail what makes it spicy? (starry-eyed) (holding a bowl, coming uninvited) You know, I can't just listen for nothing, I have to try it after I hear it.]

As he watched the net, powerful enough to tear his flesh apart, being pressed to the ground, Qin Su's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, quietly settled down.

He didn't want to cause trouble right away, but he was forced to do so by circumstances; he simply had no other choice.

Just as the four were wondering what to do next, Qin Su's icy voice reached their ears again.

"Enjoy the next thirty-eight minutes."

[Death announcement is a given! Looking forward to it! Give them a good beating!]

[What? It's not over yet? The four thought things were bad enough, King Su immediately told them it was okay, there was more to come (doge emoji)]

[The Boss 1's words were loaded with meaning. I silently pray for the four of them. I have a strong feeling that their days ahead won't be easy.]

[Without weapons, how can they fight Qin Su? After all, even with weapons, the four of them were no match for Qin Su. I strongly suspect that Qin Su deliberately left them empty-handed, specifically referring to the weapons on the wall.]

[What weapons? Those are clearly Qin Su's spoils of war!]

[I can't refute it, because it's so logical and well-founded, hahaha]

[The other team has already won, and Qin Su is still their Class Monitor. Why not let them win a little? Are you deliberately trying to make them lose?]

[Where did this lunatic come from? Get lost!]

The four were still in a daze when they suddenly heard Qin Su's voice. Their hearts pounded uncontrollably, and they looked at Qin Su in horror.

'Enjoy, enjoy? Are you sure???'
