Chapter 164: The Shocking Kidnapping Case (3)

The sound of helicopters approached from the sky, indicating that the military had arrived.

However, before the helicopters could reach the building, the fanatics used rocket launchers to blow them up. Even from afar, Gu Yi could clearly see the aircraft turn into a fireball in the sky.

Love walked to the window, took over the live-broadcasting phone, and smilingly said to the camera:

"Listen up, people of Dragon Country, you cannot win against us. Within a ten-mile radius of the International Hotel, I don't want to see any flying object, not even a pigeon. If anything flies near us, I won't hesitate to shoot it down.

Five minutes have already passed. If in another twenty-five minutes, Jin Xin is not brought to us, I will start killing. I don't want to repeat myself."

After speaking, Love continued to lean against the window, observing the scenery outside.

Less than a minute later, the live-brodcasting phone received a call. Love answered it with a sneer.

"Hello, I'm Love."

"Hello, I'm Guan Hong, the Vice President of Dragon Country. I'm here to negotiate with you."

"Oh, we don't have much to negotiate about. There are only twenty-four minutes left. If I don't see Jin Xin, I will start killing."

"Mr. Love, as you know, Jin Xin is currently in the Imperial Capital Prison. To resist the invasion of bizarre forces, the prison has very strict security measures. To extract him from there requires a complex procedure. Thirty minutes is not enough to get him out. Can you extend the deadline a bit?"

"That's your problem, not mine."

"Mr. Love, we are really here with sincerity."

"I don't believe a word from you politicians, not even as much as I would from a real estate developer," Love said, glancing at his watch. "Another minute has passed, and all the time you're wasting is on your nonsense. If any hostages die... it would be because of you."

Love hung up the phone and looked down at the street.

The anti-weird force had gathered below, but their numbers were still insufficient. Love needed to intensify his actions to completely drain the defense forces of the Imperial Capital.

He closed his eyes, carefully sensing the distribution of the troops.

Now, three groups of snipers were ready on the two adjacent buildings. Love sneered and poked his head out of the window.

"Captain, the target has stuck his head out of the window."

"Don't act rashly, observe the situation inside the building first."

"Okay... now..."

The sniper's words got stuck in his throat. A blood-red eye blocked his view through the scope, making it impossible to see clearly. Panicked, he dropped his rifle, only to find the blood-red eye floating in front of him.

Gu Yi estimated that he had 1 minute left before his invisibility wore off.

With no time to hesitate, his only option was to escape from outside the building.

He approached the window and quietly opened it, unnoticed by the criminals.

Gu Yi climbed onto the outside of the window, gripping its edges tightly. He was over 100 meters above the ground, where the wind was strong. Any small mistake could send him plummeting down.

Taking a deep breath, he bravely began to climb down the side of the building.

After struggling down one floor, his back was drenched in sweat, and the invisibility effect of the Doppelganger spell finally ended.

"Hey, what's that?"

"Damn, why is that kid clinging to the wall?"

The troops below raised their binoculars and saw the 'Spider-Man' climbing down the building.

When the 'Spider-Man' slightly turned his head, everyone gasped in shock.

"Damn, isn't that Gu Yi?"

"How did he escape?"

"This is too dangerous!"

The captain quickly approached and ordered, "Everyone stop looking at Gu Yi, act as if you didn't see anything!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately averted their eyes.

Although they didn't know how Gu Yi had managed to escape, if the criminals inside found out, he would undoubtedly be in grave danger. Their shouting and attention from below could only serve to expose Gu Yi's movements and offer no help.

Whoosh—

A gust of wind blew past.

Gu Yi's coat flapped loudly in the wind, pulling him outward. His palms sweated, and his right hand slipped.

Creak, creak!

Gu Yi could hear the grating sound of his left hand's finger bones.

The soldiers below couldn't help but glance at Gu Yi again. He was hanging onto the window ledge with one hand, looking like he could fall at any moment. Everyone held their breath, empathetically feeling as if they were the ones risking their lives on the exterior wall.
