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.
…..
Chapter 1529 Come On!
In Jinling College, Dormitory 412, roommate #2 sat in front of the computer. Someone had sent him a link. He clicked on the link and entered the live-streaming room.
A moment later, roommate #2 jumped up from his seat in shock.
"F*ck, what's roommate #3 doing? He's acting crazy!" He exclaimed in surprise, immediately attracting the attention of roommate #4 and an older student who also lived in the dormitory.
They got closer to the computer screen and bent over his shoulder to take a look. They were startled also.
"Roommate #2, isn't this your live-streaming room? Why did roommate #3 take it outside to live-stream?" The older student asked, puzzled.
"Oh my, pretty boy roommate #3 is quite photogenic!" Roommate #4 made a mocking comment.
Roommate #2 suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "Please, can't you focus? Don't you see what he's doing?"
Once they'd heard that, they took another look at the live-streaming room and were immediately…dumbstruck.
Xu Que, their troublesome roommate, was hanging over an elevator shaft at the moment and cutting the elevator cable, while his other hand was also holding the whole elevator as he threatened the people inside.
"Were…were they f*cking dreaming, or was he making a movie?"
"Is he nuts? Didn't this guy just say he was going to rent a room with that girl in the period costume?"
"F*ck, something is wrong. That animal, Xia Luoqing, is also there."
"What's going on with this situation…"
"Stop going on about the situation. Let's hurry up, rent a few bikes, and go over to assist. We'll ask Xu Que to reimburse us afterward."
"F*ck that, we'll never make it in time by riding bicycles. We must take a cab. Remember to call for a luxury car."
…..
At the same time, on the top floor of the hotel, there was dead silence.
Whether it was the few leading figures in Martial Arts or the group of the Xia family's men in suits, they were all struck dumb at the present.
"Was there such an impossibly crazy thing in this world?"
"One hand able to hold an elevator filled to its full capacity?"
This one in 1,000 big guns was very hard to achieve.
"Yo, all the men are here. Who has cigarettes on them? Give me one!" At this time, Xu Que turned to glance at the crowd. He asked with a smile and reached out with the hand holding the cable cutter to the crowd.
Everyone present plus all the followers and viewers in the live-streaming room were instantly startled.
"D*mn, you're so cocky. You're actually reaching your hand out for a cigarette now."
"Hey, no need, I just remembered I brought them with me."
Suddenly, Xu Que took his hand back and began to fumble in his pants pockets.
Smokers were used to using both their hands to look through their pockets. So Xu Que naturally used both his hands to look through the pockets in his pants and jacket.
WHOOSH!
The moment his right hand let go of the elevator cable, the whole elevator suddenly plunged.
However, with lightning speed, both of Xu Que's legs which were propped against the wall moved forward to hold and press and directly catch the elevator cable.
SCREECH!
The elevator stopped sliding.
The whole process seemed natural and unforced. It was swift, precise, and fierce.
However, everyone present at the scene and the viewers in the live-streaming room were once again flabbergasted.
Several of the old people who were leading figures in the Martial Arts world stood with their mouths agape and looked horror-struck.
"What…what kind of martial arts is this?"
"F*ck, I've been training for so many years, and I've never seen such a fierce person."
CLICK!
At this time, Xu Que, with a calm face, pulled out a cigarette and popped it in his mouth. He pressed the lighter and lit the cigarette. His chest rose and fell as he sucked in a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
A wisp of smoke suddenly streamed out slowly and appeared particularly conspicuous in the dimly lit elevator shaft. It slowly drifted with the air flow into the aisle and vaguely formed the word COOL in the air!
In an instant, the viewers in the live-streaming room reacted and fired up a flood of 666 across the screen!
"This…this young man…which…which sect does your teacher come from?" At this moment, an old man spoke up and asked Xu Que a question.
It wasn't known whether it was due to his old age or because of the excessive shock he had undergone, but his voice was trembling.
"The Exploding Heavens Faction," Xu Que calmly replied and took another puff of the cigarette.
This time, the smoke drifted away and vaguely became a line of small words: A commoner is really dashing!
But at the moment no one cared about his smoke anymore. As Xu Que smoked, his d*ck gently moved upward! Under the crowd's shocked gazes, the elevator cable was slowly pulled upward by his d*ck.
"Come on!" Xia Luoqing's eyes almost popped out of his head as he exclaimed.
"What the f*ck." Several old people's eyes lit up with envious and resentful gleams. It was so nice to be young!
HISS!
Boss Lin's face started to get flushed.
In the live-streaming room, the bullet comments started tumbling out in a completely messy way.
"It's fake, absolutely fake!"
"Is this a d*ck made of steel?"
"It's impossible. All you female friends in the live-streaming room, don't fall for it. He's wearing a prosthetic!"
"Son of a b*tch, my girlfriend just scolded me."
"Come on, this guy is a troublemaker. Anything more than three minutes is fake."
Inside a luxury car, the three people from Dormitory 412 were staring at the live- streaming with grave faces.
"Well, what do you think?" Roommate #2 and Roommate #4 looked at the older student who had accompanied them here and asked.
The older student thought about this for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "If I haven't guessed wrong, this couldn't be a part of the original packaging."
"Imported?" Roommate #4 asked, staring blankly.
"F*ck, do you think you can change this kind of thing?" The older student suddenly burst out with this. "It's so annoying. Of all the things to show off, he had to show off this kind of thing."
But the question was, what was going on with Roommate #3?
It felt as if he had become another person, but at the same time that cockiness still seemed very familiar.
The three people purposely didn't talk about how strange Xu Que seemed, but they were still certain that Xu Que was real this time.
At this time, Xu Que, in the elevator shaft, looked very happy.
The Acting Tough Points in the System interface in front of his eyes continued to surge. The gamble this time had paid off.
From the beginning to now, he had already accumulated more than 1,200 Acting Tough Points. He was only 1,800 points away from his original target of 3,000 Acting Tough Points.
"It looks like I can start doing something real," Xu Que secretly said to himself.
However, the various men in suits in the elevator were already shivering from the cold. Their legs had gone soft, and they sat immobilized inside the elevator.
They hadn't expected to actually encounter such an unimaginable thing just by taking the elevator. They couldn't believe that someone would actually take the elevator hostage.
At such a time, there was no point in having guns. If they were to kill the other party, then they themselves would also have to die.
"Hey, big brother, can we talk things over nicely. Pull us up first," one of the men in suits said to Xu Que with a pained face.
Any fool could see that this person that they'd encountered was an abnormal person. Even though he looked young, it was not too much to call him an older brother.
"I can pull you all up, not a problem, but your guns… Oh yes, and those guns of yours are illegal anyway. Come over here quickly and throw them into the elevator shaft," Xu Que said with a grin, threatening all the Xia family's men unless they agreed to throw away their guns.
After all, these guns were always quite dangerous. In case he got carried away by acting tough in a moment and got shot, he would suffer big time.
Soon there was another wave of rapid gains in the System. After he'd last acted tough, the 3,000 Acting Tough Points that he'd wanted were finally secured.
He could leave…right away.
He could go back to the Heaven Continent…right away!
