Boom!
Another punch fell.
Concrete Block is like bullets flying and exploding.
Dust was boiling and filling the darkness, choking everyone around them to cough.
Seeing that the originally extremely strong Load-bearing Pillar was about to break completely.
A Kun and A Mang were so frightened that their hearts almost stopped.
This man wearing Evil Spirit Mask is obviously crazy!
They said there was a bomb hidden inside.
He just didn't believe it and insisted on hitting the pillar with his fist.
If you don't want your life, others still want their lives!
But there is no way, Du Juan and Sanchai, who were taken as hostages, fell into the hands of the other party.
The two of them could only stare, helpless.
Who would have thought that a few seconds ago, they were trying to threaten the other side with bombs and voluntarily give in.
But now, they are more frightened than anyone else.
I'm afraid this madman will just blow up the bomb with his fist.
The situation was completely reversed in a few punches.
Fang Cheng As he punched, the corner of his eye scanned the expressions of the people opposite him.
The momentum of the attack on Load-bearing Pillar seems alarming, but in fact it has secretly restrained a lot of force.
Of course, he couldn't really set off the bomb intentionally.
Otherwise, I would have broken the Rebar frame with one punch and dismantled the Load-bearing Pillar with my bare hands.
There is no need to put in so much effort to act for the other party.
Previously in Hotel's room, Fang Cheng sensed that Zhou Xiumei was in crisis.
He immediately contacted Old Wolf and Xiao Bei through Mental Link, and immediately found out the situation on the program team's side.
The moment he stepped into the hall just now, he recognized the leader of this group of kidnappers, the man Gold-rimmed Glasses who practiced shooting at Shooting Range yesterday afternoon.
Then he started a consciousness scan to detect bombs hidden around him.
It was found that these C4 explosives were poured perfectly into Load-bearing Pillar and Cement deep.
To be honest, this incredible method of laying mines would not have been discovered at all if he didn't have a perception more sensitive than radar.
No matter how many top bomb disposal experts are called in, it will not help.
The other party obviously used some kind of Special Abilities. No wonder he acted so arrogantly and confidently.
In this case, no matter how powerful Fang Cheng is and how hard his fist is, he cannot dismantle Load-bearing Pillar one by one to resolve the crisis while ensuring the safety of the hostages.
Therefore, we can only force these kidnappers to do it themselves.
At this moment, he was deliberately sabotaging the location where the bomb was buried and exerting extreme psychological pressure on the other party.
The Essence of gaming lies in this.
It's not about competing to see who has the harder fist, but about guessing the opponent's bottom line, taking advantage of the information gap, and forcing the opponent to make compromises first.
The more forward-thinking you are, the more others will judge you.
And once you show that you don't care and are ready to flip the table at any time, the other person will naturally be the one to worry.
"Boss, what should I do? This man is crazy, please persuade him!"
A Kun and A Mang completely broke their defenses and looked at Pei Tianci anxiously.
Pei Tianci took a deep breath, his face looked uncertain, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched slightly.
Then he suddenly raised his head and shouted:
"Stop, stop now!"
"I am willing to agree to your conditions. I will let A Mang dismantle all the bombs now!"
Phew--
Fang Cheng's fist suddenly stopped half an inch away from the broken column.
The terrifying impact brought up a strong gust of wind, instantly blowing the flying dust around.
He slowly retracted his fist, turned around, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised behind the mask:
"Choose wisely and cooperate early so that everyone can save some effort."
As he spoke, he casually loosened his left hand.
Du Juan was lifted in mid-air and hit the ground like a rag doll.
"Ahem... vomit..."
She covered her neck with a circle of black and blue fingerprints with both hands, and retched violently.
Due to the extreme lack of oxygen, physiological tears oozed from the corners of her eyes.
Du Juan barely held up his upper body, raised his head, and looked at Fang Cheng with fear in his eyes.
The brief personal confrontation just now, her proud stealth and assassination skills, were just like a joke in front of this man wearing Evil Spirit Mask.
Let alone causing substantial harm, she didn't even have room to fight back.
As long as the other party exerts even half a strength, her cervical vertebra will be crushed alive.
This is not a human being at all, this is a monster in human skin!
Pei Tianci's chest rose and fell violently, and he exhaled a breath of turbid air mixed with dust.
Looking at Fang Cheng's calm and composed appearance, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Could it be that the other party had already seen through the specific location where the explosives were buried, and that these punches just now were just deliberately teasing them?
But he didn't dare to gamble.
If anything goes wrong, the entire team will be buried here.
If you lose your money, you can look for opportunities to earn more. If you lose your life, you really have nothing.
As for the threat behind Mysterious Organization...
First save your life and survive tonight, and then find a way to fly away.
Pei Tianci closed his eyes, suppressed the shame in his heart, and said in a deep voice:
"I can let all the hostages go, but how can you guarantee that after we defuse the bomb, you won't kill them?"
Fang Cheng stood on the spot, Crimson's eyes coming out of the holes in the mask were full of oppression:
"I always tell the truth. It's up to you to decide whether you want to believe it or not."
Pei Tianci gritted his teeth and looked at Du Juan and Sanchai who were dying on the ground.
After much thought, I finally made a decision.
He raised his hand, ready to give instructions to A Mang hiding behind the pillar to disarm the bomb.
"Superidol's smile is not as sweet as yours, and the sunshine at noon in August is not as dazzling as yours..."
A sudden and cheerful cell phone ringtone suddenly rang in the dark hall.
The tense atmosphere just now has not completely dissipated, and the appearance of this string of electronic songs seems extremely jarring.
The nerves of everyone present instantly became tense again, and their eyes all turned to the source of the sound.
"Sorry... sorry..."
A Kun hurriedly touched his trouser pocket and raised his hand awkwardly:
"It's my place... someone called in."
He hurriedly took out his mobile phone, pressed the answer button, and put it to his ear:
"Hey, who is it?"
A deep male voice processed by Voice Changer came from the other end of the phone:
"It's me, give the phone to your leader."
A Kun was stunned for a moment, then stood up straight and looked up at Pei Tianci who was standing not far away:
"Boss, this is Mr. Ye's phone number."
Hearing this, Pei Tianci did not respond immediately. Instead, he turned his head and cast his eyes tentatively at Fang Cheng opposite.
Fang Cheng nodded his chin slightly to signal him to answer.
After getting permission, Pei Tianci stretched out his right hand towards A Kun.
A Kun quickly threw the phone away.
Pei Tianci caught the phone with one hand, put it to his ear, and his tone returned to his usual calm tone:
"Hello, Mr. Ye."
"What's going on?"
Mr. Ye's slightly unhappy questioning voice came from the receiver:
"Why are all the lights in your building turned off? What happened?"
Fang Cheng stood more than ten meters away, listening carefully.
With an auditory nerve that far exceeds that of ordinary people, even if Pei Tianci did not turn on the amplification, the weak sound waves leaking from the receiver of the mobile phone still reached his ears word by word.
Seeing the other party's question, Pei Tianci's brain worked quickly and he replied without changing his expression:
"There was a small accident. There was a firefight with several security guards who were staying in Auxiliary Building with the East City Association. A stray bullet accidentally interrupted the power transmission bus of the Backup Generator group."
"I'm asking my men to investigate and make emergency repairs, and the power supply will be restored soon."
A low "hmm" came from the other end of the phone, seeming to agree with this reasonable explanation.
After a short pause, Mr. Ye spoke again:
"How are you doing now? Have you noticed anything unusual?"
Pei Tianci looked calmly and answered in an orderly manner:
"Everything is under control. More than forty hostages are all detained in the Rehearsal Hall. Surveillance Room has been taken over and the peripheral passages are sealed. We are ready to cooperate with your next plan."
"Very good."
Mr. Ye approved, and then asked:
"By the way, did you see a man wearing a mask in the building?"
Afraid that Pei Tianci was unclear, he went on to describe it in detail:
"It is a White Mask made of what looks like Plaster. It has horns on its head, its facial features are ferocious, and its fangs are exposed. It looks like an evil ghost hiding in the darkness."
Pei Tianci heard this, his eyelids jumped suddenly.
He slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on Fang Cheng, who was standing more than ten meters in front of him.
Evil Spirit Mask, horns and fangs.
Except for the wrong color, the other features are completely consistent.
Could it be that he was referring to?
But the person Mr. Ye is looking for wears White Mask, and the man in front of him wears dark red.
"Why don't you speak?"
The other end of the phone was keenly aware of Pei Tianci's hesitation.
Pei Tianci's heart skipped a beat, he immediately looked away and kept his voice steady:
"I didn't see it. The entire building Auxiliary Building has been cleared by us, and the door is locked. Not even a fly flew in, let alone the masked people waiting."
Mr. Ye pondered for a moment, seemingly unwilling to give up, and then changed the question:
"Have you ever seen a very handsome man? He is tall and straight, with well-proportioned muscles and a very outstanding temperament. He looks a bit like a young Keanu Reeves."
Fang Cheng on the side heard it clearly and raised his eyebrows behind the mask.
I muttered to myself:
"Is this a disguised compliment to me?"
Pei Tianci's expression became more and more weird.
He glanced at Fang Cheng's strong chest muscles that filled up the black T-shirt, and replied without conscience:
"I didn't see this person."
"However, if you talk about the draft contestants detained by us, there are a few Little White with pretty handsome faces."
"But they all have thin arms and legs, just like quail. They don't fit your description at all."
"You have to remember this person."
Mr. Ye's tone instantly increased, revealing a coldness Killing Intent:
"He is a top expert invited by the East City Association. He has an extremely cruel personality. Danger has a very high level."
"As soon as he shows up, report to me immediately and don't exchange fire without authorization. I will immediately send someone over to help you deal with it."
"Understood, I will remember it."
Pei Tianci agreed, but there was already a layer of sweat on his palms.
"And."
Mr. Ye did not let it go and continued to give instructions:
"Hurry up and fix the generator. Don't make it pitch black. The live broadcast idea you came up with before is very good. Keep the live broadcast going."
Speaking of this, he specifically said:
"Remember, arrange close-ups for every staff member and player on site, and be sure to capture everyone's face."
"The police will be here soon. You must strengthen those notes. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I'll arrange it right away."
"Do a good job."
Mr. Ye gave a final word of encouragement:
"The organization will not treat you badly. The final payment has been prepared. When the work is completed, the remuneration will be doubled and will be transferred to your overseas account."
Click, the phone ended the call.
Pei Tianci moved the phone away from his ear, his expression a little ugly.
He is not only a Gun Technique Supernatural Aberrant, but also a Mercenary captain who crawled out from among the dead and has rich combat experience.
From the beginning of this kidnapping mission, he has been wary of being framed by the other party.
The phone call just now allowed him to completely clarify the current situation.
Mr. Ye specifically ordered everyone to have close-ups of their faces. It was not to create pressure on the police at all.
The other party is using their hands to search the hostages one by one, hoping to find out the so-called "extremely Danger man".
Therefore, in the eyes of that Mysterious Organization, their battle-hardened Mercenary regiment was just a bait used to cast a net for fishing.
Thinking of this, Pei Tianci looked at Fang Cheng with a hint of complexity in his eyes.
"Have you finished chatting?"
In the darkness, Fang Cheng stood calmly and spoke calmly:
"Now, tell me about this Mr. Ye and what is the origin of the organization behind him?"
Pei Tianci laughed at himself and shook his head:
"If I said that I don't even know what he looks like, would you believe me?"
"To be more specific, how did you get connected?"
Fang Cheng folded his hands on his chest and assumed a posture of listening attentively.
Pei Tianci sighed and confessed:
"We, Red Devil Mercenary Group, have been operating in Nanyang before, and we have been involved in all kinds of business. Because we offended the local warlord, we smuggled ourselves to Xia Country to make a living."
"Half a month ago, we were looking for work at Black Market and wanted to make a lot of money. An agency contacted me and said that someone was hiring Mercenary and offered tens of millions."
"The mission is very simple. Let us pretend to be robbers and go to Golden City Resort, a subordinate of the East City Association, to cause sabotage, create bombings and hijackings."
Fang Cheng heard this, the eyes behind the mask flickered slightly:
"Are you hired by someone else? Mercenary?"
Pei Tianci sounded a little helpless:
"That's right, we just use money to do things. As for the grudge between the East City Association and his employer, we really don't know."
Fang Cheng continues to ask:
"Where's the person who contacted you?"
Pei Tianci shook the phone in his hand and explained:
"The contact person calls himself Mr. Ye, and all communication between us relies on encrypted satellite phone calls."
"The other party gave me the deposit very quickly. He went directly to an overseas bearer account and couldn't find the source of the funds."
Looking at the ferocious Evil Spirit Mask on Fang Cheng's face, Pei Tianci then added a few words:
"It's a rule of our profession that we always take money to do things without asking the employer's details."
"So I really don't know anything about the name of that organization, its members, or their purpose of going to great lengths to plan this kidnapping."
