Chapter 127: Catching the Shadow
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
Bai Ji walked briskly through the crowd, not responding to any surprised glances or hurried greetings. Flash Dance. Under the silent leadership of the captain, who had always been cold-faced, the young faces who were originally slightly flustered finally regained their composure, and the flow of people who temporarily retreated was quite orderly.
However, Bai Ji knew that if he couldn't take strong action as soon as possible to defeat that powerful killer, this kind of "order" might not last long. Even if the incident is finally properly resolved with the assistance of the military, both the trust of the outside world in the police department and the self-confidence within the police department will be greatly shaken.
Moreover, most of the main forces of the military were scattered overboard. Judging from the previous state of fighting, even the so-called "top elites" in the army are here, and I am afraid that they dare not optimistically claim that they can subdue this extraordinarily talented outsider.
"Zhai Yiwen, right?" Bai Ji's relatively low voice among the women echoed in the empty corridor, "Finally, I want to confirm to you, the ability that the killer has should indeed only be 'stop physical time', not really stop time, right?" โ
"Of course." The casualties of the colleagues who came over for the follow-up reinforcements were too tragic, and among the wounded who were howling all over the ground, Zhai Yiwen became the one who seemed to be the most energetic. In the tense state of the medical staff, he could only help hold down the wound with his expression on the verge of collapse and no one could help hold the wound, hissing and panting in pain while then answering, "If the other party can really stop time, I can't be alive now." Besides, if some of us have already acquired this terrible talent, then what are we doing in the ship? You can conquer the world casually. โ
"How did you find out?" Bai Ji's question was almost declarative.
"For example, if she's using her abilities, I'm about to roll forward." Zhai Yiwen let out another "hiss", and finally impatiently slapped away the shaking hands of Yeshuang, as if it was not him who was desperately bleeding out of his shoulders and abdomen, "Then in the 'moment' that I felt myself, that is, my body did not remain completely static during this time, but continued to obey gravity and fell to the ground, but there was a problem with my sense of time." โ
"Does this mean that in the so-called 'stopped' state, in fact, your body continues to move under the action of inertia, but you can't feel it and can't control it?"
"My guess is that killer's talent is more akin to temporarily paralyzing our nerves. If you're in the mood for it, try to watch the surveillance footage of the park's camera number 98 or so, and you might be able to see how I was stupid enough to stop in the middle of the shooting. Even if Zhai Yiwen was facing the number one leader, his tone of voice was not respectful, "I also noticed it at that time." I tried to check my rate of fire by humming a song and shooting at the same time, and it turned out that there was a problem with everything, not that she could really dodge the bullet, but that the actual frequency of my shooting was too slow. In other words, she should be able to influence the perception of time by everyone within a certain range, just like being able to freely shuttle through a certain frame of a movie. To her, all of our counterattacks must have looked very happy. โ
"Can you confirm the specific distance you said was 'a certain range'?"
"No, you can't. If you insist on meeting her, all I can say is good luck and be careful. A hand forcibly broke back the face of Ye Shuangshuang, who was looking at the bloodstains with a blank face, and Zhai Yiwen's tone became a little more serious, "In addition, a lesson from the past, once there is a chance...... No, when you are sure to kill her directly, don't hesitate for a second to capture her alive or ask her about it - in the 'one second' we feel, maybe it will be enough for her to kill us ten times. So, try to stay away from her, judging by the feeling I just had when I fought her, this talent of hers could not last long, and the bullets she had snatched from us should have run out. It's always right to distance yourself from the reaction. โ
"Thank you for the suggestion, but maybe you'll have to repeat it to another person in more detail soon." Bai Ji glanced at the time, "Then, that's all for now." 35xsโ
With the framed wall at the end of the hallway in sight, she looked at the broken door on her right and hung up the phone.
"Please stay for a while." She slowly turned to look at the figure that had unconsciously circled behind her.
After three seconds of silent staring, the thin girl yawned profusely, and then rubbed her eyes with her frighteningly dry hands, as if rather sleepy.
"It's been years since anyone has been able to push us to this extent, even three years ago, when someone inside us stole all the explosives from the stockpile in batches from the storage room and detonated them in a centralized manner...... He didn't manage to get here, and he was confronted by our elites who thought they were good enough to suppress all the thugs. As he spoke, Bai Jizheng looked at her with those delicate but sharp eyes, "No matter what step you can do tonight, there is no doubt about the thin 'annals' that will be recorded in our thin 'annals'." โ
The girl still did not speak, her big eyes did not reveal any bloodthirsty madness, nor did she hesitate or be weak, and the whole person was relaxed and natural as if she had passed by here while taking a casual walk, listening to a middle-aged woman of aunt age pulling at home.
"Why don't you do it? Tired? You should have not rested and eaten in a while. Bai Ji actually took a step closer, and his gaze poured on the girl without any warmth, "Are you ...... Can't speak? โ
This time the girl reacted a little. She tilted her head and smiled at Bai Ji sincerely, and then slowly sketched a few words on the wall next to her with her fingers.
"'You're beautiful.'" Bai Ji read it out expressionlessly, "Thank you for the praise, your standing posture is also very good." If I hadn't met you in this situation, maybe I would have thought you were a young dancer on an overdiet. โ
"It was," the girl wrote, "that I like beautiful people, and it makes me feel very nostalgic." โ
"Really? But I hate you. Bai Ji looked at her coldly while pulling out his pistol, "I'm not interested in the tragic past hidden behind your evil. โ
The faintly reflective blade slashed through Bai Ji's eyes from bottom to top, and the girl in front of him suddenly floated into the air with a strange awkward movement, until it hit the ceiling hard.
Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Ji aimed at her head and fired two shots, but the bullets were embedded in the ceiling without surprise. The girl in front of her was coughing and getting up from the ground, and when she looked at her again, her eyes no longer had the lively temperature she had just now.
"If it affects my perception of time, then my abilities will be temporarily stopped, right? Doesn't it feel good to smash the ground? Bai Ji's voice mixed with the sound of the bullets falling.
There was a neat row of bullet holes left on the ground, and Bai Ji consciously changed his center of gravity in advance and fell back to the ground, once again dodging the oncoming attack.
The change to the gravitational field had just begun, and Shiraki's movements were once again briefly suspended. The girl took advantage of the landing posture and rolled over, swinging a knife with both hands and slashing at Bai Ji's head.
The intense nausea from the continuous use of the ability made her movements pause slightly, and the next moment, the bullets that had been embedded in the ceiling fell unexpectedly vertically, and one of them hit her calf.
The damaged throat is unable to vent its pain through sound. The girl felt only a burst of pain that was hard to ignore, and then she was kicked in the chest, and then she hit the frame of the wall behind her again in a floating position.
"Stop for about three seconds, and then at least three seconds before you can use it again, right?" Bai Ji picked up the blade that the girl had fallen to the ground, and threw it horizontally forward while retreating, not surprisingly finding that the target disappeared from the spot again, "If you don't have such an ability, your speed is too slow!" โ

Throwing a small metal part on the table, Kong Zhongsi sat down on the sofa with a slight dejection, and said in a dumb voice, "I'm sorry......"
"That's it?" Relying on the fact that he has always worked alone, the middle-aged man was doing push-ups on the floor with his upper body naked, and his voice did not tremble at all, "The efficiency is good." โ
"It was found by the men under our hands, between us and the police station next door. It is also because of this 'two regardless' reasons, there are indeed one or two corners that cannot be covered by monitoring. Kong Zhongsi rubbed his face vigorously and showed a reluctant smile, "What, Boss Ling, are you sharpening your gun?" But seriously, I guess by the time I'm your age, I won't be able to maintain your sturdy body - I don't do much sneaking out on weekdays, right? I know you're still not willing to sit in the office every day. โ
"It's probably not obvious now, but in a few years, I think I'll be looking younger than my peers. After all......" Ling Peifeng stood up and glanced back at his obviously not quite right face, "What's wrong?" โ
"Captain Bai didn't listen to our advice, so he had to stay and try a few tricks with that killer first." Kong Zhongsi threw the clothes hanging on the side to him, "The advantage is that at least you can control that killer on this floor before completing the 'clearance' you requested." If she went further up, it was a military school and some dormitories, and the problem would be serious. Most of us are gone, especially your son, if he had come back sooner, he would have been off work by now. โ
"I spent a long time salivating and gave him another flight ahead of schedule, he should be there soon. Besides, my son is not here, isn't there still my father? I still feel good about myself. Ling Peifeng poured a big sip of tea, "What's wrong with you?" To put it mildly, why did you, the leader of a group, just stand on the side and watch the play? Although I also know that because you are my student, you have always had a bad relationship with the police, but this is not the time for internal struggle, right? โ
"I-" Kong Zhongsi pulled out a long voice, and then smiled with a complicated look in his eyes, "I'm ashamed to say that since Su Cheng was able to take on my job, I feel that I have become less and less timid after not exercising for a long time. โ
"What does it have to do with Shu Cheng, don't quibble." Ling Peifeng cocked his little thumb and pointed at him, "You obviously started to coax after you got married." Also, there is nothing wrong with saving one's life. โ
"I'm glad you didn't sarcastically mock me, and you actually want you to do it yourself, I can't help it."
"You're welcome, it's my little compensation for your little vacation that you managed to squeeze out but disappeared." Ling Peifeng waved his hand, and then changed his words, "Speaking of which, what about Xu Zeyuan?" Isn't this time his duty to be on duty? โ
"I went to look for him, and he wasn't there." Kong Zhongsi raised his eyes, "...... And one more strange thing. โ
