Chapter 169: The Shocking Kidnapping Case (8)

Gu Yi remained silent for a moment.

He knew that privately hoarding weird objects was a serious violation. If caught, he might end up in the Imperial Capital Prison for life, just like Jin Xin.

Yet, he felt compelled to do so.

There were many fanatic infiltrators in the strategy team and even within the national organizations. If he hadn't hidden the Fool card in advance, it would have already fallen into enemy hands.

Moreover, the facts had proven that even Qu Kangping and the strategy team couldn't be completely trusted.

They lacked the ability to resist psychological suggestions.

Love's success in deceiving everyone was a reminder of this. Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

"I don't have it."

"You don't?"

"No."

"Good... you better not have it," Qu Kangping said. "I can't protect you forever. In the real world, you might manage to use it secretly, but in the weird world, if you use a power that's not yours, the whole world will see. Your double talent has already made you the focus of global attention. If you were to..."

Hearing this, Gu Yi couldn't help but shiver.

Today, he had used weird powers to escape kidnapping. If the country decided to investigate...

Wang He, protected by the Anti-weirdness troops, arrived at the rooftop. He walked up to Gu Yi and firmly grasped his hand, "Kid, we owe you a great deal."

"Uh... thank you."

"I will consider the matter of housing prices."

"Really?"

"Of course." Wang He turned and winked at Qu Kangping, "I have something to discuss with you privately."

Qu Kangping was momentarily stunned but quickly followed Wang He.

"What happened to your face?"

"It's the enemy's blood." Qu Kangping wiped his face. "President, please speak your mind."

"You don't need to worry about Gu Yi."

"What?"

"I know you're concerned he might become a weird creature, but don't forget, those who turned into weird creatures were all retired adventurers."

Qu Kangping fell silent.

Wang He continued, "The fact that he can freely use weird powers in the real world must be kept a secret. It can't be disclosed to the public. Otherwise, it would surely cause panic. You wouldn't want the Quentin incident to happen again, would you?"

The Quentin incident in the Lighthouse Country was notorious.

Quentin was the only adventurer who had cleared a dungeon five times in a row. After using his weird powers in the real world on one occasion, he saved people but ended up being cyberbullied. Eventually, in late January last year, he was murdered in his sleep by extremists.

Gu Yi dashed forward and leapt, grabbing onto the helicopter's landing gear.

Seeing this, Qu Kangping didn't hesitate to pick up a gun and aim at Ah Jian in the cockpit.

As he hesitated to shoot, Ah Jian turned around, his eyes completely black.

"Uh—ah!"

Qu Kangping's right hand uncontrollably turned the gun towards his own chin. With blood-red eyes, he bit his tongue fiercely.

He finally regained consciousness and threw the pistol to the ground.

The helicopter had already flown far away.

Qu Kangping weakly crawled to the railing, muttering breathlessly, "Gu Yi... Ah Jian..."

Bang Bang Bang—

The helicopter soared high into the sky. Love, controlling Ah Jian, kept maneuvering the aircraft, trying to shake off Gu Yi.

However, every time he harbored the intent to kill, God's voice echoed in his ear.

"Do not kill him... let him come to me alive..."

"Ah!"

Love forcefully hit his own head. Despite his desire to defy God's will, he found himself unable to.

"Master, why do you treat him like this? He will never ally with us. Why?"

The master did not respond.

Love felt a warm sensation in his nose as blood uncontrollably flowed out.

Suddenly, the cockpit door opened. Gu Yi had managed to break in while Love was distracted. He raised his right fist, the irresistible force appearing once again.

—Last time, it was Gu Yi's punch that sent him into the void.

"Let Ah Jian go!"

"Foolish!"

Love's nose bled more profusely. If he kept Gu Yi alive, he would be detained by the strategy team until death, but if he killed Gu Yi, his master would also kill him.

Caught in the dilemma, Love decided to gamble.

Finally, outside the range of the stability anchors, Love's mental powers restored, allowing him to use his possession ability once again.

His black eyes searched frantically for a new target to possess. Forcefully manipulating the controls, he directed the helicopter towards a distant high-rise building.

"What are you doing? Stop!"

Gu Yi's eyes widened in shock, and he quickly reached to grab the control stick. Just a second before the helicopter collided with the building, Love left Ah Jian's body.

"May you die a good death, Gu Yi!"
