"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
The sudden turn of events left most people dumbfounded. Why had he suddenly opened fire on his companion?
However.
The next second.
When the bullet struck Jin Wei squarely in the chest, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. Then, as one, they distanced themselves from him, instantly becoming extremely wary.
Normally speaking.
That shot should have been enough to send Jin Wei straight to his death.
But...
"What do you mean?"
"Why did you shoot me for no reason?"
Jin Wei shouted angrily.
"..."
For some inexplicable reason, a chill welled up in everyone's hearts. They stared at him as if they had seen a ghost. The Steam Pistol had actually failed to kill him. It had not even left a wound.
How was that possible?
Even Strange Mouth from earlier could not have remained completely unharmed after taking a bullet.
"Bang!"
Liu Qiang's hand was steady.
Though he was just as deeply shaken, he calmly loaded another bullet, pressed the mechanism, and fired a second shot.
This time.
The muzzle was aimed at Jin Wei's head.
Everyone clearly saw a white streak of steam pass through his skull. The yellow bullet left a huge crater in the metal wall behind him.
Yet Jin Wei continued roaring:
"Xiao Shen, do you know what you're doing?"
"Openly murdering a teammate."
"Are you trying to die?"
"Do you think you can hide this from the Enforcement Team's interrogation when we get back?"
His voice was loud.
It echoed throughout the corridor.
Yet it gave everyone present the illusion that they were standing in a silent wilderness, an endless hell.
"An illusion?"
Liu Qiang lowered the gun in his hand.
His voice dark, he said, "There's no way an evil entity could take a shot and remain completely unharmed.
