Chapter 10: The Chains
Regarding the death of the bandit leader, the first person to know is, of course, Lu Xiaoqi.
After recovering from his injuries, he slipped out of the hospital, returned to the dormitory, and ate some bread to satisfy his hunger. When he was eating the bread, he found that the three chains were still continuously sending the life energy of the three robbers to him, but he didn't know how to stop or operate at all, so he could only watch and hurry.
Why the hurry? Because he clearly felt that the bodies of the three people were getting weaker and weaker through the link of the chains, especially the most seriously injured white bandit leader, because he punched the sternum, resulting in intrathoracic hemorrhage, although the rescue was successful after arriving at the hospital, but because of the chain, the condition deteriorated, and he is now close to the intensive care ward.
The two black men were no better, and their originally muscular bodies actually dried up in just a few hours, probably because the injuries were not serious, so they could hold up for the time being.
Although they are all criminals, Lu Xiaoqi really doesn't want them to die because of himself, not because of how much he respects the law, but because he feels uncomfortable, after all, he has never killed anyone.
He tried to hold on to the chains, and he succeeded. It doesn't feel like the cold feeling of holding a real steel chain in your imagination, but it's a little soft, and the temperature is about the same as the human body temperature, which is surprisingly good.
Then, he tried to pull out these chains attached to his wrists, but no matter how hard he tried, these chains did not respond at all, they were still very strong, and even because of his movements, the efficiency of the chains in absorbing life force increased a lot, which directly caused the bandit leader's cardiac arrest for 20 seconds!
Lu Xiaoqi didn't dare to move now, so he could only watch.
Of course, he didn't know how heated the discussion about him was on the Internet at the moment, there was an Internet and a computer in his dormitory, but he hadn't turned on the computer since he got here!
As a result, two days later, he clearly felt that a chain slowly changed from dark red to pure black, and the vitality of the bandit leader on the other end of the chain became weaker and weaker, and then died!
He couldn't express his feelings at the moment when the bandit leader died, after all, two days had passed, and he also knew from the news that the bandit leader was a heinous villain, and he died innocently, but this life did die in his hands, although it was not his original intention.
The chain that turned black he was finally able to pull, just a slight pull, the chain shortened rapidly, and shrunk to 3 meters in less than a breath, the most terrifying thing for Lu Xiaoqi was that the black chain was retracted, but at the end of it, there was actually a black phantom tied to it, and it could be vaguely seen that it was the appearance of the bandit leader!
"What is this? Spirit... Soul? Lu Xiaoqi stood up from the chair with a "pum", his hair stood on end, and he was nervous when he saw the ghost for the first time in his life.
This ghost-like mass of things, after entering Lu Xiaoqi's room, became more and more condensed, and finally it was very clear except for the translucent state.
It's just that the expression and eyes of this "ghost" are very dull, like a puppet.
Once the chain turns black, it can be removed from the wrist. After pulling it off, Lu Xiaoqi knew that as soon as he let go, the chains and the bound soul would dissipate, and he didn't know how he knew, anyway, the moment he pulled off the chains, he understood.
He couldn't have imagined that this chain was so domineering, after absorbing the vitality of others, he was not satisfied, and he didn't even let go of his soul, and he was detained together, and after thinking about it a little, he would understand that at this moment, this ghost was completely under Lu Xiaoqi's orders!
"Alas~ I'm not that kind of person." Ghosts have appeared, Lu Xiaoqi simply deceived himself not to think about how contrary to science this is, he just doesn't want to walk a ghost everywhere in the future, leading a ghost around, that's too disgusting!
So he chose to let go.
The moment he let go of his hand, he clearly saw that the expression on the face of the bandit leader ghost was no longer sluggish, and it quickly became vivid, as if something that suppressed his thoughts had disappeared, first stunned, then ecstatic, and without looking at Lu Xiaoqi, he turned around and wanted to run out.
No, ghosts don't run, they float.
But before it floated half a meter away, the chain that was loosened by Lu Xiaoqi started from the place where Lu Xiaoqi let go, and the chain of the chain quickly turned into black sparks, and in less than 0.1 seconds, it was entangled with the ghost and began to burn the soul!
The ghost of the bandit leader turned to face Lu Xiaoqi, his face was full of pain and begging, his mouth was wide open, and he seemed to be howling miserably, but the howl of the deceased was silent, so Lu Xiaoqi couldn't hear anything, and in the blink of an eye, the ghost of the bandit leader was burned to the ground!
The corners of Lu Xiaoqi's eyes twitched, he still underestimated the degree of domineering of this chain, or his new ability-can't be used by me, then the soul will be scattered!
…………
The bandit leader died, and the autopsy report said that "organ failure due to complications of trauma", that is, it can be determined that his fatal injury came from the punch that Lu Xiaoqi hit in the chest, because of this punch, his sternum was shattered!
Obviously, although it can be legally determined that Lu Xiaoqi killed someone, this is a textbook-like clear "legitimate defense" after all, because it is obvious from the surveillance video that it was the bandit leader who shot Lu Xiaoqi first!
Even so, according to the judicial procedure, it will only be through the court judgment that Lu Xiaoqi can be found innocent. Therefore, Lu Xiaoqi needs to go to the court and go through the process.
Although there is no Lu Xiaoqi's face in the video, according to what he was wearing and his general appearance at the time, combined with the surveillance at the entrance of the Harvard campus and on the street that day, it can be clear that Lu Xiaoqi is a person.
Therefore, the police quickly knocked on the door of Lu Xiaoqi's dormitory and invited him to the court.
……………
The deliberation process was quick, and Lu Xiaoqi was found not guilty without any doubt and released on the spot.
As the most mysterious member of the whole case, there was no detailed report about him, so the reporters who heard the news had already blocked the door of the court, and as soon as Lu Xiaoqi came out, he was surrounded.
"Your name is 'Lu Xiaoqi', right? Are you from China? ”
"Have you been found not guilty?"
"Do you really know kung fu? How's your gunshot wound? ”
"Harvard says you're a recent transfer student, and as far as I know, there have been very few examples like this before, how did you get in?"
"Would you rather be a hero or a murderer?"
……
Lu Xiaoqi was annoyed, but fortunately, the security guards helped him isolate the interview, and he escaped as if he got into the car, and then went back to the dormitory directly, he planned not to leave the school gate in the near future.
…………
Lu Xiaoqi still has two chains on his wrists, connecting the two black men, after this court turmoil, he never wants to go to that place again, and if he wants to go, if he is not surrounded by annoying reporters again, those two black people can no longer die, if he dies again, he will have to go to the court twice, it is terrible to think about.
These two chains can't be pulled out, Lu Xiaoqi was impatient for a while, forced himself to calm down, then closed his eyes, and slowly sensed the two chains, he adjusted his breathing while carefully probing every detail of the chains.
As has been written in countless novels, the chains are like some kind of magic weapon, and he has no teachers to teach himself, and he will soon be able to sink his consciousness into it.
At the other end of the chain, the skeletons embedded in the collars around the necks of the two black men, at the moment when Lu Xiaoqi's consciousness sank into the chains, the eyes of the black hole suddenly glowed red, and then with a "click", the collar was released!
