A loud bang was heard, the leaves in the forest shook, as if a lightning bolt sliced through the night sky and simultaneously hit the captain’s thigh along with the bullet.
The captain trembled violently, and while falling to the ground, an unpleasant smell emanated from his lower half.
This guy was the captain, yet he showed himself to be even more pathetic than his two subordinates.
Xue Lina stared at the captain in shock. It’s impossible that her single bullet carried lightning, and even less possible that it caused him to lose control of his lower half.
"Do you want to die?"
Xue Lina said coldly.
Upon hearing these words, Scar shook his head wildly, his eyes filled with intense fear.
Pervert, this woman is a pervert.
She actually could control lightning, how is this possible?
This is the real world, not an extraordinary world in the movies, humans cannot control lightning.
"Spare me, Mage, I’ll tell you everything, please don’t kill me."
Scar said in fear, trembling legs, and suddenly knelt down, frantically kowtowing.
Various scenes from movies flashed through his mind. In movies, extraordinary people can not only control the natural forces of thunder, water, and fire, but more terrifyingly, some can control the power of the soul.
He didn’t know if Xue Lina could do this, but since she could control lightning, she might be able to control souls.
It’s often said that life and death are like lights going out, and debt of life and death is paid, but only because no one can control souls.
But if Xue Lina learns, wouldn’t that mean life and death would be impossible, and be tortured by her forever?
Xue Lina stared dumbly at Scar, lightly biting her lip.
She couldn’t control lightning at all.
If she hadn’t been saved by the lightning just now, she would have been a corpse on the ground.
Xue Lina raised her eyes, looking into the deep darkness of the distant forest, spoke coldly:
"Who are you?"
A figure stood above the forest, as if floating in mid-air, without speaking to Xue Lina, but dissolved into the depth of the forest with a gust of cold wind.
Xue Lina looked at the mysterious figure, feeling a hint of familiarity.
She thought of the red sports car on the mountain top, maybe it was him?
"Who is your task target?"
Xue Lina asked, pointing the gun at Scar’s forehead.
Her original intention was just to threaten Scar with the gun, but she forgot that Scar was already terrified, and there was no need for extra effort.
Scar pointed upward, his face showing fear.
"Someone paid 50 million for us brothers to assassinate Lin Beichen! We investigated and found that he’s just a college student, and we took the job without thinking much. We really only wanted the reward money, didn’t intend to harm Dragon Country!"
Xue Lina heard this and felt speechless.
What do you mean you just wanted the bonus and didn’t want to harm Dragon Country.
These three guys carried various standard weapons, and even an anti-material sniper rifle. Such a threat isn’t big enough? Still saying they only wanted some pocket money?
"Dragon Country prohibits the carrying of firearms. Your equipped weapons already constitute a serious crime, don’t you know?"
Xue Lina spoke coldly.
"Just on this point, I can sentence you to ten, eight years."
Upon hearing this, a trace of joy unexpectedly appeared on Scar’s fearful face, and he nodded frantically.
"Sentencing is good, the more years the better, lock me in prison forever, just please don’t kill me."
He had long heard that Dragon Country, though strict in its criminal laws, the treatment in prison was very humane.
There was even a saying circulating online in Dragon Country, people outside the prison work nine-nine-six, but those inside follow a healthy nine-five schedule.
He wasn’t thinking about the good treatment in prison, but rather as long as Xue Lina does not use that terrifying mysterious power, hiding in prison for a lifetime is better than having his soul tormented as Xue Lina’s puppet.
Xue Lina looked at Scar in amazement.
Why did this guy suddenly become so foolish, who likes to be sentenced to more years?
Was he scared out of his wits by that mysterious person?
Is he Lin Beichen or not?
Xue Lina looked towards the forest again.
Her heart was filled with curiosity, as if a cat were scratching it.
For a moment, she even wanted to rush into the forest, tear through the darkness, and grab him to see his face.
If it weren’t for this person using lightning to help her, she would have been humiliated by these people just now.
As the ace of the investigation team, she not only failed to subdue the assassins, but was stripped naked and humiliated to death by them.
If this matter were reported in the media, she could already imagine the crisis the investigation team would face!
With the rise of self-media, the public is already filled with distrust towards the investigation team under various rumors and slanders.
In this environment is why the investigation team formed the Ace Squad, and she used every possible effort to join this team. If she tarnished the Ace Squad’s reputation, she would not rest in peace even in death.
"Lin Beichen... who exactly are you? Why do they want to kill you?"
Xue Lina asked softly, but then footsteps echoed in her ears.
"Ace Squad, listen up, split into groups for investigation, report any anomalies immediately."
A familiar voice rang out, and over a dozen real armed teams appeared on the mountain road, led by Ace Squad captain, Zhou Changjin.
Zhou Changjin and others, in their urgency, upon discovering figures in the forest, immediately surged forward.
"Drop your weapons! Otherwise, we’ll fire immediately!"
Zhou Changjin roared angrily.
Tonight, Xue Lina didn’t report back, as the captain of Ace Squad, Zhou Changjin immediately sensed something was wrong.
