Chapter 1528 - Is He Human?
Chapter 1528 Is He Human?
“???”
Xia Luoqing, the middle-aged man, and Boss Lin stood, rooted to their spots and staring blankly. They couldn’t figure out what had just happened and were dumbfounded.
“What the h*ll is going on?”
“Is he completely insane?”
“This guy has climbed into the elevator shaft and pulled out a cable cutter to destroy the elevator cable?”
“F*ck, where did he get that enormous cable cutter?”
“I definitely didn’t see it on him before.”
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Soon, the sound of the metal cable being cut rang out from the elevator shaft. The CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! sounded just like a special effect in a film.
The elevator cable was a metal rope that was constructed using countless strongly interwoven metal cords. Obviously, it was extremely tough and strong. Its load-bearing capacity was immense, but it couldn’t bear the repeated hacking from Xu Que’s cable cutter.
Xu Que had purchased the black metal cable cutter from the System. It was incomparably damaging. In addition, Xu Que had also taken the Diamond Energy Pill, which had increased his strength 100 times. Also using his Internal Force to aid the cable cutter, his power had become completely awesome.
With one chop from Xu Que’s cable cutter, the whole elevator cable instantly broke. But, with 1,000 pounds hanging by a thread, Xu Que reached out to pull the elevator cable and stop the elevator from falling down.
There were ten men in Western-styled suits inside this elevator, identically dressed as the killers for the Xia family. They all stood with expressionless faces.
They had received instructions to come to this restaurant to kill a young man. They had seen his photograph. They were instructed that as soon as they had seen the target, they shouldn’t hesitate to shoot to kill.
Using so many people to shoot one man was nothing more than a way to ensure the success of the mission. After all, it was said that the young man also knew Martial Arts.
Unfortunately, no matter how good someone was in Martial Arts, there was no way he wouldn’t lose out to a kitchen knife, let alone a gun.
Therefore, for this mission, all the men in suits who’d been sent here thought that the difficulty level was low, and the success rate was bound to be 99 percent.
Why wasn’t it 100 percent?
After all, they couldn’t be too certain. The world was full of surprises. What if they’d met with a car accident along the way or an earthquake had happened? That would definitely have had an impact on the mission’s success rate. The 1 percent of unpredictability had to be taken into consideration.
However, the Xia family’s men in this elevator simply hadn’t expected that everything would go safely and smoothly all the way here, without any car accident and no earthquake, only to meet with a mishap while taking the elevator.
The moment the elevator cable snapped, the whole elevator jolted and slid down several feet. Then, before this group of the Xia family’s people could react, the elevator had suddenly stopped.
This was immediately followed by the lights going dark and the emergency warning lights coming on. The initially bright elevator space became dim all at once.
At the same time, these Xia family’s men realized what had happened and they broke into cold sweats from the shock.
“What the h*ll? Is there a power outage?”
“Or is the elevator out of order?”
“F*ck, we brothers had a good future ahead of us, and now we’re close to death in this elevator.”
They looked at each other to make sure no one was injured, and one of them pressed the elevator’s Emergency button.
All of a sudden, a slight movement could be vaguely heard from the top part of the elevator. The whole elevator began to shake, as they could feel that the elevator was slowly rising.
“What’s going on?” All of a sudden, the men in suits looked at each other in dismay.
…..
Meanwhile, outside the elevator door, Xia Luoqing and the other two people were almost going crazy. They appeared horror-struck. They had literally been staggered by disbelief.
They’d helplessly watched as Xu Que had chopped off the elevator cable, thinking that this guy had been trying to make the elevator fall in order to kill the Xia family’s men.
But they absolutely hadn’t expected that this guy would actually use his bare hands to pull up the elevator cable in order to save the elevator.
Wait a minute, that’s not right!
“What the f*ck!” Xia Luoqing was stunned.
Now Xu Que was dragging the entire elevator with ten strongmen inside up with one hand.
“How…how is that possible?”
“This has gotta be fake, right?”
The middle-aged man and Boss Lin had also opened their mouths wide and their eyes were almost popping out of their sockets from staring.
“Is this guy human?”
Never mind that he was holding the elevator cable with just one hand, he was also pulling the elevator up.
“Come on, since you didn’t want to kill them, why didn’t you let the elevator come up on its own?”
“What’s more, your other hand should also be propped against the wall for support. But you’re not propping yourself against the wall. Instead, you’re still holding that cable cutter. What do you want to do?”
“F*ck!”
Even if the Martial Arts middle-aged practitioner had had better self-restraint than Xia Luoqing, he couldn’t help but curse.
They watched as Xu Que pulled the elevator up and the cable cutter in his hand hacked at the top part of the elevator. There was a series of CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! as he hacked and chopped until the entire top part of the elevator broke open, revealing a big hole in an instant.
“Hey, hello guys!” Xu Que grinned and greeted the burly men in suits in the elevator.
Xia Luoqing and the other two people outside the elevator were completely speechless now, and they stood frozen in place. They didn’t dare to move randomly.
They had finally figured it out now. This kid was not human, but a madman!
DING!
DING!
At this time, the bells of several other elevators suddenly rang out.
This was immediately followed by the elevator doors opening. Eight or nine men in suits came out of one of the elevators while several old people came out of the other elevator.
The first thing they saw was Xia Luoqing, the middle-aged man, and Boss Lin.
“Young Master Xia, where’s the man you want killed?” All the men in suits looked at Xia Luoqing and asked him this question.
Then several of the old people looked at the middle-aged man, and one of them, a short old man with a grim face, said coldly, “Humph, you wicked disciple, where is the young man you were talking about?”
“…..”
Xia Luoqing and the middle-aged man didn’t reply. They were still staring in the direction of the elevator with the hole in the top.
Only then did the men in suits and the older people realize that something was not quite right, and they turned around one by one.
Then…
All the men in suits instinctively pulled out their guns and stood staring blankly.
The old men stared and were flabbergasted.
Xu Que’s cell phone had been turned on this whole time and the entire proceeding had been recorded from beginning to end in the live-stream room.
Thousands of viewers and followers in the live-stream room were also dumbstruck at this time.
Even if some people still thought that this was fake, there were many people who believed this was really going on.
Because it looked too real.
The elevator scene could be faked, but the way these people were acting couldn’t be faked.
Boss Lin was particularly famous in the capital and often appeared on some financial news channels. Plus, the old people martial artists were well-known big shots.
Although no one knew that they were the masters of various sects in the Martial Arts world, some of them were board directors of a Chinese medicine corporation and one of them was a well-known professor of traditional Chinese medicine at a university. He was also a well-known figure who had appeared on television.
The viewers in the live-stream room who could recognize these people weren’t many, but there were still some people who wrote bullet comments telling people the identities of these people. Other curious viewers also did their own searches and compared the images against the characters. Once they’d confirmed their looks, everyone felt their hair standing on end.
Such a group of big shots would never participate or act in such a contrived drama produced by an insignificant live-streamer.
Unless…all of this was real?
“F*ck, all my brothers, I’m now in the hotel downstairs. An accident has really happened. I heard that an elevator has reported a breakdown alarm, and a lot of police cars have arrived outside the entrance. If you don’t believe me, I am now live-streaming. You can go to my room to watch.” At this time, a bullet comment swam past on the screen.
