BXBX NOVEL Chapter 376: Kill
Chapter 376: Kill
Although it was embarrassing to speak of, this was the truth.
The four pictures were indeed extracted but they were of no use. Even if the people infected by the meme saw these pictures, the curse was not neutralized, and they would still be killed by the Ju-on meme.
Why was this?
Chen Chen could not figure it out.
At this moment, the sound of propellers was heard over Chen Chen’s head. At the same time, a medium-sized helicopter descended from above, stirring up gusts of wind.
“Let’s go!”
Shen Qi yelled and got on the helicopter first. Without another word, the four agents once again dragged Chen Chen onto the helicopter.
A group of employees on the side also passed on items and files to the helicopter, but they did not board it and turned to leave.
They were not qualified for the first evacuation.
Then, the helicopter quickly lifted off and flew in the direction of the suburbs of Shangdu. It was as if staying for one more second would cause one to be infected by this curse...
It was not until after they had flown away from the city for more than an hour and when swathes of countryside appeared under their feet, that Shen Qi looked relieved. She touched her pocket, then leaned her head back on the seat, and began to close her eyes to rest.
However, she did not realize that her little gestures were all exposed before Chen Chen’s eyes.
‘As I thought, they didn’t separate me from the USB drive? If I’m too far away from the USB drive, it will shatter?’
In one look, Chen Chen understood this.
Still, when he thought of this, Chen Chen suddenly had an idea — when he was charging the USB flash drive, as the power reached a certain level, it would start to flicker with dots of light, just like stars in the night.
At the same time, the USB drive would enter its second form, which gave its owner the opportunity to travel into the movie’s world.
The amount of power that the authorities had transferred could be said to be ten times or hundreds of times more than what Chen Chen did. In such circumstances, how much power was there in the USB flash drive at this time? Did they discover the second function of the USB drive?
The answer was basically no.
If the authorities had discovered the ability to open the passage, they would naturally get more information from him. It was impossible that they would overlook him.
In other words, the USB drive did not activate this ability when in other people’s hands.
However, what if Chen Chen used it for himself?
A subtle smile flitted across Chen Chen’s lips and he closed his eyes.
At the same time, a crackling sound suddenly came from the helicopter’s fuel tank and a crack seemed to appear. At once, drops of fuel dripped out ceaselessly like an opened faucet.
The rate of leakage was not fast, but it was not slow either. It would take only about ten minutes for the helicopter to completely run out of fuel.
However, the sound of the fuel tank cracking was directly drowned out by the loud sound of propellers. It was not until ten minutes later that the pilot turned his head and said loudly, “Our fuel tank has leaked and the fuel is running out. We’re preparing to make an emergency landing!”
“What’s going on! How can a perfectly good fuel tank start to leak?”
Shen Qi immediately shouted this question to the front.
Even so, both pilots had no time to answer. The pilot focused and started to control the helicopter’s descent while the co-pilot took out the communicator and started contacting the headquarters.
“D*mn it!”
Seeing no one was paying attention to her, Shen Qi could not help cursing. She touched her pocket a little uneasily and only breathed a sigh of relief when she felt the item in the pocket.
“Boom!”
With a heavy thud, the helicopter landed successfully. As the fuel was not used up all at once, the helicopter had time to land but it was a little rushed.
None of the eight people on the helicopter was injured but the drop was a little uncomfortable.
Shen Qi was particularly woozy. She hurriedly jumped out of the helicopter and vomited in the grass.
“Director Shen, are you okay? Director Shen?”
The pilot and the four agents who were in charge of Chen Chen got off the helicopter and comforted her.
Chen Chen looked around. This had been a town but because of the official evacuation, it had been deserted and there was no one.
“Since the helicopter has stopped, I happen to have something to do as well, so I’ll be leaving now.”
Chen Chen got off the helicopter in his own sweet time, walked up to the group, and said, “Shen Qi, the USB flash drive is on you, isn’t it? Now it’s time for it to return to its original owner.”
Shen Qi and the other agents turned their heads to look at Chen Chen in disbelief. Among them, Shen Qi frowned. “What are you talking about, what USB flash drive? I don’t understand what you mean.”
“Of course I mean the USB flash drive in your left pocket.”
Chen Chen said nonchalantly, walked forward as he spoke, and reached out one hand to grab Shen Qi.
“Stop right there!”
One of the agents closest to Chen Chen saw this and rushed directly to him, starting to twist Chen Chen’s outstretched arm.
As an FBI agent who had received military training for a long time, his combat capability was by no means inferior to that of a soldier and it might even be superior. If any ordinary person was caught by the arm, they would likely be subdued immediately!
Nonetheless, faced with Chen Chen, he was destined to encounter despair!
At this point, Chen Chen did not hesitate anymore. He just kicked his back foot and his body instantly sprang up, like a sharp arrow released from the string, bypassing the agent next to him. He instantly landed before Shen Qi. With a slight gesture from his hand, the USB flash drive flew out of Shen Qi’s pocket as if by magic, and landed in Chen Chen’s hands!
“Stop him!”
All this took barely a second. It was not until then that Shen Qi reacted. She looked at the USB flash drive in Chen Chen’s hand in shock and then lowered her head to touch her pocket in disbelief. Only then did she say in horror, “Don’t let him take the USB flash drive!”
Upon witnessing Chen Chen’s movements, the expressions of the four agents shifted. They never dreamed that this person who looked so frail and weak would suddenly make a move, not to mention that he was not an ordinary person. His skill was so far beyond them that they could barely follow what was going on.
Nonetheless, as military members, obeying orders from above was their duty. At this time, the four of them gritted their teeth and rushed toward Chen Chen from all directions, preparing to take Chen Chen in one fell swoop!
“You’re asking for it!”
Chen Chen’s eyes turned cold. Although he only had an ordinary physique at this time, the power of his Field energy was not only restored but was also several times stronger than in reality. He only glanced at his opponent swiftly and the agent in front screamed as he was sent flying backward as if he had taken a heavy blow in the chest!
However, at the same time, the other three were already upon Chen Chen. Among them, the person behind him took advantage of the momentum and kicked up a storm, aiming straight for the private part of Chen Chen’s lower body. If this kick landed, even a wild beast would immediately lose its combat effectiveness, and its life might even be in danger!
Nevertheless, all he kicked was thin air.
Chen Chen seemed to have eyes behind his head. He just took a step forward and avoided the kick, then turned around, and his opponent was struck back at once!
Following that, the agents on both sides of Chen Chen also let out a scream as they fell directly to the ground and lost their combat ability!
Still, at this moment, Chen Chen suddenly felt a tingling pain in his temples. He seemed to understand something. He bent his neck subconsciously. At the same time, there was a whistling sound passing by his ear. A bullet had just cut through the air and brushed past his cheek!
Chen Chen slowly turned around and promptly saw that Shen Qi was holding a gun with a resolute expression, aimed steadily at him.
If Chen Chen had reacted a little slower just now, he would have received a shot in the head.
“You want to kill me?”
Chen Chen looked puzzled. “I’m not a criminal and I’m not a terrorist. Why aren’t you letting me leave? And you want to shoot me too?”
“Put down the USB flash drive and raise your hands!”
Shen Qi said coldly.
Chen Chen did not listen to her words at all but took a step forward again. “Why do you want to kill me?”
“I said, put down the USB drive and raise your hands!”
Shen Qi warned again.
Chen Chen tilted his head and a murderous glint appeared in his calm eyes. “I asked you a question, didn’t you hear me?”
“Wait, Director Shen, you mustn’t kill him!”
At this moment, the two pilots tried to dissuade her. “The order given by the higher-ups is to take him back alive, you can’t kill him!”
“He’s asking for it, it’s not my fault!”
However, Shen Qi clenched her teeth and pulled the trigger again!
“Bang! Bang bang bang!”
There were a few deafening gunshots. This time, about a dozen shots were fired at once, until the gun was completely out of bullets, and Shen Qi was still pulling the trigger...
Even so, a shocking scene appeared — before everyone’s incredulous eyes, a dozen bullets were floating in front of Chen Chen. These bullets retained their original shape, suspended silently in the air as if there was a soft wall of air in front of Chen Chen...
“How can this be...”
It was not just Shen Qi, but everyone had a wild panicked look in their eyes. It was not a big deal to take down the four agents, but the young man in front of them could even hold back bullets. Was he human?
Chen Chen plucked a bullet with one hand, glanced at it silently, and then loosened his grip. Gravity seemed to take hold of the bullet again and it fell directly to the ground...
At the same time, the other bullets also dropped to the ground, clanking and clattering simultaneously.
The next moment, Chen Chen was standing in front of Shen Qi.
“Stop!”
Seeing this, the two pilots clenched their jaws and were about to rush forward themselves. However, Chen Chen merely shot them a vicious look and they felt a powerful blow in their chests. They only had time to cry out in agony as they crashed backward. After that, they did not get up.
After sending the other two men flying backward, Chen Chen lowered his head again and looked at the delicate woman in front of him. At the same time, he stroked her hair and asked in a soft voice, “Why did you try to kill me?”
“I just want to get back the USB flash drive. Chen Chen, calm down...”
Shen Qi was shaking all over. She stepped back subconsciously. At the same time, she just wanted to placate him, but she felt a stab of pain in her head. Chen Chen was tugging her hair as a bloodthirsty gleam flashed in his eyes. “Huh? What did you just say?”
Chen Chen grabbed her hair, placed his ear to her mouth, and asked in a low voice, “Speak up, I didn’t hear you?”
“Agh!”
Shen Qi let out a shriek of pain but as soon as she opened her mouth, she suddenly felt a coldness in her mouth, and then a heart-piercing agony gripped her!
About a dozen teeth in her mouth flew out as if being plucked out by an invisible force!
“Go on!”
Chen Chen’s mouth stretched wide open, revealing his pearly whites. After that, he immediately dragged Shen Qi to the side of the helicopter and slammed her face into the helicopter’s porthole!
“Crash!”
There was a sharp cracking sound of glass and Shen Qi’s entire face became mangled and bloody!
“Speak, why are you trying to kill me? Speak!”
One hit was not enough. Chen Chen kept hitting Shen Qi’s face against the edge of the broken porthole, once, twice, thrice...
Chen Chen kept on bashing her dozens of times until she had completely stopped breathing. Then Chen Chen slowly let go and allowed her to slide down.
After doing all this, Chen Chen grinned at the pilots who had not lost consciousness and then he slowly rose into the air as if he had escaped from gravity’s clutches.
“Flying for the first time — let’s give it a go.”
Chen Chen murmured in a low voice and then he wobbled and flew toward the Shangdu city center from which he came, like a child who was starting to become familiar with walking...
At first, his flight was rather unsteady, but gradually his speed increased. At last, with a loud blast, a burst of air erupted behind Chen Chen as he vanished into the sky.
Seeing this scene, the two pilots with the least injuries got up in utter horror and looked at the spot where Chen Chen had disappeared, wearing expressions of astonished alarm.
“That’s a sonic boom! He can fly?”
One pilot was in shock while the other pilot was holding his chest in pain while running to Shen Qi in a hurry. When he turned Shen Qi around, he suddenly yelped and turned around, vomiting violently.
At this time, Shen Qi had completely lost her human appearance and her entire face was reduced to a mess...
“We’re done for...”
The other pilot saw this and sat down beside him. “Director Shen was the granddaughter of a big shot in the central government of China. Now she’s dead?”
“Yup, she’s dead.”
The two looked at each other and could not help but laugh bitterly. “I’m afraid the entire FBI is about to go through a major storm...”
With that, the two began to tend to the four bodyguards. Fortunately, the four bodyguards were merely passed out, with fractured sternums, and their lives were not in danger.
...
Chen Chen kept flying at supersonic speed. After leaving the field of vision of that group of people, Chen Chen circled and landed in another uninhabited town.
Then, Chen Chen took out the USB flash drive and checked it, only to see that the scattering of stars had shown up on the USB flash drive. It was obvious that the internal energy was extremely sufficient.
“As long as there’s enough.”
A smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. He opened the door of one of the houses at random, found a computer, and inserted the USB flash drive.
In the USB flash drive, there were indeed many movies of all kinds, including some science fiction and some historical dramas, and even modern romantic dramas.
The FBI had experimented a lot with the USB flash drive.
However, under these files, there were four special moves, namely — New Ju-on, New Final Destination, New One Missed Call, and New Ring.
Seeing this, Chen Chen appeared overjoyed. Sure enough, in the USB drive, there were four movies shot in response by China. It was these four movies that had the Basilisk patterns to counter the memes.
Since these Basilisk patterns could not eliminate the infection of memes from the outside world, what if Chen Chen entered the movie?
Since the movies were recognized by the USB flash drive, naturally, they would be effective. In that case, when Chen Chen entered the movie, could he use the Basilisk pattern in the movie to cure the memetic infection that was plaguing his body?
Chen Chen was full of anticipation...
