The middle aged man suspected to be the police chief stopped near the corpses for a long period of time before asking, "Who gave them the keys?"At that moment I was very much convinced he was the police chief who had been working with the Wade family. He seemed to be very much familiar with the corpses and tried very hard to maintain his stiff expression. If I didn't have the ability to read expressions I wouldn't have been able to tell. Also, the question he posed betrayed him very much.As a police chief, the first thing he would have done upon entering here was to check my state. But he didn't. Instead, he remained behind as if he was still waiting for something to happen. Secondly, he would have asked who the men were and how did they got in. But he also didn't do that. Rather he asked them who gave them the keys. Most people wouldn't discover the anomaly but I did and I knew that Stephen drew more information than I did."You guys arrested a suspect and thirty minutes later four
When Stephen made the revelation the police chief's expression darkened as veins appeared on his forehead. He was very much tensed now and I knew he was also very confused about everything. He definitely didn't know that apart from Dominic, there were people like Stephen who had player skills to spy on them. Unknown to him, while he had been working with the Wade family, Stephen had always been seeing everything. The Precognitive Clairvoyance skill was so great in this aspect that Stephen didn't even need to be close to monitor situations. He could even sleep in his house and know what was happening. This was the strength of the Buddhist player!"How could you do this, Chief!" one of the cops yelled as he took out his gun. The others followed suit immediately."We trusted you to lead us but instead you decided to work with the Wade family to commit crimes!" the cop continued."It seems you've forgotten your place," the police chief clenched his fists more tightly. "You're nothing but
When the police chief collapsed to the ground there was so much silence that one could hear a pin drop. It was as if everyone else was shocked about what they had just seen. I didn't blame them one bit. It was normal for them to have expressions like that. If they hadn't been shocked then I would have already suspected that they were extraordinary already. And those who were extraordinary in this world were players. And if there are any players in this room apart from me and Stephen, they definitely belonged to the Wade family.Stephen wiped his foot clean with his palm before retrieving the gun from the police chief who was still lying sprawled on the ground. From where I was, I could see that he was bleeding from his mouth. Apart from that he didn't look to be harmed in every way. Stephen had definitely controlled his strength so as not to kill the man. One real kick from Stephen to that man's head would have fractured his skull and killed him.He swung the sword in the air a few ti
Stephen now had the sergeant in his front so the other two cops behind couldn't shoot him. If they did they would end up shooting the sergeant and killing him. So in order not to shoot the sergeant they didn't even attempt to shoot at Stephen although their guns were aimed at him.The police chief, seeing that Stephen now had his back to him, saw a very big chance. I knew he was going to attack Stephen secretly from his sinister expression. I would have lent a hand but I was now locked within the cell with no way of coming out. When Stephen had asked the cops to release me, none of them had done so. So I was still stuck in the cell, waiting for Stephen who was now fighting with the cops to release me.Many people would think I'm doing something stupid but I was not. Stephen had already installed cameras in this place and they were recording everything. Definitely, he was also doing a live streaming in order to prove that I was innocent of the allegations leveled against me. He wanted
After the gunshot rang out and the sergeant fell to the ground amidst a loud groan, the other two cops shot their guns immediately. Obviously, they couldn't wait to get rid of us immediately. To them, we had grown to be pests which can be discarded at any point in time. Little did they know that what they were thinking was totally implausible.For players like me and Stephen, our physical condition had become so much enhanced that dodging bullets had become as easy as drinking water. Our strength was no longer normal as we could easily lift an adult male with one hand and toss them far away. For people like us, the cops were the real disposable pests. They were very weak and didn't even hold a candle to us.When they shot the gun I'd already shoved the police chief sideways while falling in that direction myself. Stephen had already fallen to the ground, reacting way faster than I did. Since he was the closest to the cops who had shot at us just now, I'd thought that he would be hit.
Once the police chief was knocked out Stephen mouthed some words, "Destroy the cameras."I nodded slowly and then turned around, saying, "When are we leaving?""Now," he said and ran straight towards the door. I immediately followed him as I activated the Explosion skill. This is currently the best skill I have in destruction.I would have used the Shadow skill to silently remove the cameras but I didn't know where all the cameras were installed. Stephen would have told me but time was not on our side. We needed to get things done!Boom!There was a very big expression which sent flames billowing towards us like powerful waves capable of sweeping us through."Come on!" Stephen yelled as he continued running towards the door. He leaped into the air, thrust out his right foot, and kicked at the door with all his might.Bang!The door came off its hinges crashing to the ground. There was another long corridor with several cells filled with criminals."We need to get out of this place!" S
The Mercenary player held his large gun as he stared intently at Stephen, his body remaining in that position for a very long period of time. At this point of time I didn't hesitate any longer. My Resurrection skill immediately took effect and my body began solidifying rapidly in front of Stephen who seemed to be calculating how to attack the newcomer. Obviously, he had never come across the Mercenary player before and this was his first day.Unlike me, Stephen had no idea about this player who had the Commanding skill and Intangibility skill. Only I knew how hard it would be to deal with this man."Long time no see, Enigmatic player," the Mercenary player said with a grim voice. His eyes glared at us as if he was watching his prey."I thought we parted on good terms back then," I said to him, my fists clenching slowly. "Why are you attacking us now?"The Mercenary player tapped his metallic gun slowly, his muscles bulging under the weight. On closer realization I remembered that this
With those words, Stephen shot off the ground toward the Mercenary player, his right arm moving backward to swing his sword at the Mercenary player."The skill I displayed earlier is called the Confinement skill," the Mercenary player said casually as he blocked the sword with his bulky gun before throwing a powerful kick at Stephen's right leg. The latter was immediately sent down on one of his knees, his expression turning into a grimace.The man then kicked him in the torso, sending him flying into the air towards me. Stephen crashed to the ground with his back but bounced right up, pinning his sword to the ground."That skill allows me to lock a particular target or group of targets within another space," the man said. "In other words, no one is gonna find us until I kill you!"With those words, he charged at Stephen and fired the gun again. My eyes narrowed as I immediately leaped into the air to get Stephen from harm's way. But before I could get close, a large shield had alread
