Chapter 325: Attack
Every word on the screen of "Attempts to Connect with the Outside World...... Accidentally Interrupted makes Robert even more nervous.
It must have been them, and by what means did they intervene in this car! A murder that is about to begin, a murder hidden behind the unknown curtain! Who are they? And what happens next?
Robert groaned and hurriedly fastened his beam seatbelt, he was prepared for the worst when the car was about to lose control, but would it keep him alive? He didn't know...... They will definitely design and calculate every detail to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Robert's mind repeated those blood-red eyes, hideous and terrifying, and heart-palpitating.
He even had a strange feeling that the owner of those eyes was behind him at the moment, and in the back seat of this car, the invisible ghost killer was showing that invisible smile at him.
System Critical Error ...... Implementation of the contingency plan...... Undo all apps...... Turn off the engine ......" The red warning icon on the screen flashed rapidly, and after that, the car suddenly went dark, and the engine sound, which had been whistling softly, dragged a long tail note, and gradually became silent, and the Karision also stopped after taxiing for some distance.
Saved?!
Robert unfastened the safety buckle, and the flexible beam was immediately withdrawn into the car wall. He opened the door and got out of the car, and found himself in a narrow, uninhabited block, lined with what appeared to be a large area of civilian warehouses. Most of them are dilapidated and old, and the street lights are dim, the roads are potholed, and a shower in the afternoon caused them to overflow with water.
Where is this? He turned on his watch to orient himself, and found himself on the southern outskirts of the city, just a few blocks from the destination he had just shown in Carision. Is that where they are going to end me? He hurriedly walked in the direction of the city, using his watch to make quick calls.
"Schindler Taxi, how can I help you?" A soft female voice came from the watch, and judging by the unusually clear way of pronouncing words, Robert could tell that it was the tone of a night shift voice assistant at a rental car company.
"I need a car to get back to the city." He hurriedly said.
"The car is already on the way, a little away from your location, please wait......" said politely and tactfully.
After the call, Robert was relieved and continued to walk towards the towering neon lights ahead. He dismissed the idea of calling the police to the Angel City police, thinking that if all this was just Kalysion's own problem, it would cause unnecessary trouble again.
He still remembered the look in the detective's eyes during the Alex incident, and when he mentioned the Shadowless Man, the other party had no intention of taking any more notes on the scene, and only questioned it in person out of politeness.
This strange creature that only appears in the textbooks of alien cognition is extremely unfamiliar, because there are almost never reports of them setting foot in the human world. If it weren't for the wanton propaganda of the Hinders to defeat their powerful opponents decades ago because of the "distant war" of the Rich Star, most humans would probably not have known about the true existence of the Shadowless People.
Robert walked the long-unrepaired path, his speed was greatly reduced by the potholes and waterlogging, and he accidentally stepped into a puddle, and the muddy water flooded the surface of his feet, making his shoes and socks wet.
He looked at the road ahead and still couldn't see the lights of the taxi, but then he heard a slight noise behind him, and he turned sharply, and from the dim light, he saw a dark Calysion slowly approaching him.
The car stopped as he turned around, the door opened, and a man of medium build, dressed in inconspicuous resident clothing, could not be seen in the dim light.
"Are you lost, sir?" He asked.
"Who are you?" Robert's heart was about to jump out of his throat, but he was greatly relieved to see a human get out of the car, but out of instinct, he was still cautious about this car that appeared suddenly.
"I live in this area, I'm going to the city, do you want me to catch you for a while?" The man approached slowly, and the dark car followed him.
"No, my car will be here soon." Robert raised his alert, turned and quickened his pace.
"I think I'll have to stick to that 'hospitality,' Mr. Kent." The man ran straight at him, and Robert was terrified and immediately began to run.
As an academic, he didn't exercise much even when he was young, and although he still maintains a decent body, running has never been his strong point.
Robert caught up with him in just a few breaths before the man grabbed him by the collar and tugged hard, and Robert turned around and punched him in the face.
He struck the man in the cheek by magic, but it felt as if he had hit a hard wall. Robert saw the man's face clearly, it was a face full of anger and fierce eyes. The man twisted his arm behind his back with a slight twist, and the strength was unimaginable.
"Come with me, Kent, and as you can see, it's useless to resist." The man waved to the car that was accompanying him, signaling the occupants to approach, and the car suddenly stopped, and two more men stepped out of the back seat, one of whom pulled out a small injection gun from his arms.
"What are you going to do to me?" Robert's hands were completely ineffective, and he could tell from the movements and postures of the men that they might have received military training.
"Don't get your mind wrong! I am a bureau-level official of the Development Committee of the Bank Alliance, and if there is any mistake, the people of the Security Committee will definitely investigate it thoroughly! Robert stared horrified at the guy approaching with a syringe gun in hand.
"Don't get me wrong, Kent, no one wants to hurt you." The man at the head said in a cold voice behind him, "Someone wants to see you, and we are just acting as humble drivers. ”
He twisted Robert's arm with one hand and pulled his neck to expose veins with the other, then nodded to his companion. The man shot Robert's neck with a syringe gun, and the liquid was almost instantaneous, causing him to collapse to the ground.
