565: Seven Su Yue

However, Su Yue smiled and said, "Don't forget, I said I have superpowers. In this situation... I can leave easily, of course."

Song Wen was stunned, then he could no longer control his expression: "Su Yue! Do you really think I'm a fool!! It's just a timed power switch! It's only a one-time thing after all..."

As he said this, his tone gradually weakened.

He saw Su Yue slowly raising his palm.

"How..."

Seeing this scene, Song Wen stopped speaking. Su Yue continued, "If I can leave here, then let the gamble begin. Do you dare to bet? But no matter what, you've already lost a round. What's the point of this live stream for you? To make a fool of yourself?"

A mocking smile appeared on Su Yue's lips, which made Song Wen unable to control his expression any longer.

His originally Sven appearance suddenly turned ferocious: "Su Yue!! You will definitely die here today! I'll bet you! Aren't you a hero? I'll chop off your head inch by inch!! I'll make you clearly feel your cervical vertebrae break! You'll die under everyone's gaze! You can run and use whatever means you want in this building! Before dawn, your head will definitely be placed in front of the camera!"

He roared ferociously and maniacally.

But Su Yue just smiled and nodded: "Good momentum."

Then he continued, "So, before you catch me... the hostages naturally can't be moved. As long as this condition is guaranteed, then the outcome naturally depends on your ability."

Song Wen gritted his teeth and did not answer.

Su Yue looked at him, a meaningful smile on his lips, and clapped his raised hands together again.

Clap, clap, the lights went out in response!

The hall was plunged into endless darkness once again.

Su Yue's voice came again: "The game... has begun."

A Qi stared at the scene in front of him, his eyes wide.

He couldn't figure out what was happening at all.

"It... it actually worked? Song Wen actually wants to bet with him? Did I hear wrong?"

He originally thought it was completely over, but he didn't expect such a situation.

Although it was a good thing, he still couldn't figure out how Su Yue did it.

He asked Ye Gaoyi: "Captain Jin, if you were Song Wen, would you bet?"

Ye Gaoyi was stunned when he heard this, then said, "Let alone not betting... If I were Song Wen, Su Yue would have died the moment he stood up."

However, Li Ou's voice came at this moment: "No, precisely because you are not Song Wen, you don't understand what's going on..."

Ye Gaoyi asked in confusion when he heard this: "Professor Lin, you know the reason?"

Li Ou nodded and said, "I've probably guessed."

A Qi heard this, turned to look at Li Ou, and asked, "What's going on?"

Not only A Qi, but everyone present looked at Li Ou.

The current situation was too bizarre; they simply didn't understand why Song Wen would agree to Su Yue's gamble.

Could it be that this was a play directed by Su Yue?

Song Wen was just an actor he hired?

Although this was completely unreasonable, they couldn't think of any other explanation at the moment.

Li Ou didn't keep them in suspense. He said directly, "The reason Song Wen accepted Su Yue's bet is not because of anything else, but because he is Song Wen."

This seemed like a useless remark, but it made A Qi think. Was it because of Song Wen's special nature?

Li Ou frowned and said, "From the beginning, I was thinking about the meaning of Song Wen's live stream. What Su Yue just said reminded me that Song Wen never intended to leave this building alive. This live stream is just to prove his existence. He's doing this to make a fool of us. It's the only live crime broadcast in the country... no, in the world... facing everyone, and it's filled with blood and violence. Song Wen will leave a heavy mark in history!"

Hearing Li Ou's words, everyone's eyes widened.

So that was Song Wen's goal! That is to say, if it weren't for Su Yue... then these hostages would have no chance of survival!

At this time, the temporary command post was crowded with people, but everyone's faces were exceptionally solemn, especially after they understood Li Ou's words.

Despite the large number of people, they were helpless and could only wait in vain.

Originally, they planned to negotiate with Song Wen, but if Li Ou's analysis was correct, then they had no leverage for negotiation at all.

These hostages became their weakness, making them afraid to act rashly.

And if Song Wen really took all the hostages with him after the live stream ended, causing this well-known high-rise building in Taoyang to be destroyed, it wouldn't be unimaginable.

In other words, if Su Yue hadn't suddenly appeared in the hotel lobby, this would have been an unsolvable deadlock for the Municipal Bureau; they would have been completely unable to rescue everyone without harming the hostages.

Now, they could only hope that Su Yue would succeed.

...

On the fortieth floor of the Dihao Building, it was still pitch black.

This darkness had lasted for several minutes, and even Song Wen's vision had adapted to it.

He knew that Su Yue had left.

However, he still didn't move, but was thinking about what Su Yue's so-called "superpower" was.

He racked his brain but couldn't figure out how it suddenly became like this.

He looked at the mobile phone and laptop used for the live stream. Since they were connected to the wireless network and the devices had batteries, the live stream was not affected.

However, it was obvious that the power to these live streaming tools had been cut off.

"Is this related to electricity? Is it voice-activated? Or does he have some kind of remote control with him? Or does he have an accomplice? Is clapping a signal?" Song Wen guessed through gritted teeth.

Finally, he ordered: "Go to the power control room! The power in this building is what I need most right now."

Once the surveillance is restored to normal use, Su Yue's movements will definitely be searched for.

If he remains motionless, then the clumsy method of searching room by room is the most practical and reliable!

In the dark auditorium, several beams of light from mobile phone flashlights lit up.

Just as these people were about to leave, Song Wen suddenly shouted again: "Wait!"

The three drug dealers who were about to leave stopped when they heard this.

Since Su Yue could change his face, who knew if Su Yue was among these three people?

He said, "You, confirm with each other if there's anyone you don't recognize. Shine all the flashlights on the door!"

He sneered, "Su Yue, you can't even get out of this hall, and you're talking about playing hide-and-seek? Looks like I'm going to win easily. Or did you disguise yourself as someone? It doesn't matter, as long as the door is closed, you will definitely..."

Clang!

Just then, a metallic collision sound suddenly came!

The loud noise interrupted Song Wen who was speaking.

"How..." Song Wen was a little surprised.

Immediately after, he suddenly realized something and immediately said, "Are you done confirming!? If you're done, hurry up and check the power switch!!"

After he said this, the three drug dealers immediately walked towards the door.

The loud clang made Song Wen suddenly remember what Su Yue had done at the Zhonghai Restaurant before - the ventilation duct!

Su Yue was very likely to leave through the ventilation duct!

But at this time, where did he know where the ventilation duct was?

It was completely dark all around, and it was impossible to confirm the situation in the hall with the light from a mobile phone flashlight.

The three drug dealers left the auditorium. Of course, when they left, Song Wen kept staring at the situation at the door.

Su Yue definitely didn't leave through the door. The three who went to check the power room weren't idiots either; they confirmed with each other, and there was definitely no problem.

So it was that 'clang' sound just now...

Su Yue likely left through the ventilation duct...

But no matter what, even if he could leave the hall through the ventilation duct, the speed would be very slow after all.

Using the fortieth floor as the base, searching from the rooms above and below, they would definitely be able to find Su Yue's location!

Now, all they had to do was wait for the power to be restored.

While waiting, he confirmed the status of the bomb box again.

The timer had, of course, stopped long ago. After all, he wasn't the only one who could control the bomb; there was also Liu You's remote control.

Liu You had been watching the surveillance footage on the top floor, the fiftieth floor, and also controlling the bomb remote control.

If there was a problem, he would immediately detonate the bomb, and at the same time, of course, he would decide whether to stop the bomb explosion based on the situation.

A few minutes later... the power was restored. The lighting in the hall was restored.

He glanced at the hostages and his own people still sitting on the ground in the hall, then his gaze swept across the entire hall.

He indeed saw that the iron grate of the ventilation duct had been opened, and a rope was hanging on the ground.

"Nothing new. Looks like he went up while in the blind spot. It doesn't matter, he can't run far."

Song Wen thought this and snorted coldly, then composed himself and repositioned the DV camera.

He looked at the camera and said, "Ladies and gentlemen... I've disappointed you. The person you hoped would die is still alive. But soon, the Su Yue you like will die in my hands. Anyway, this live stream should be enough to satisfy you. Next, we will live stream all the details of finding Su Yue. Then, we will live stream all the details of killing Su Yue."

But looking at the bullet comments flooding in at this moment, he felt his emotions were about to spiral out of control again.

He roughly blocked the bullet comments, not wanting to see the four words "Su Yue is awesome" being spammed anymore.

However, the necessary explanation still had to be given.

"To everyone at the Municipal Bureau, our previous agreement is still valid. Once I discover anyone entering the building, I will immediately kill a hostage. But you can rest assured... as long as you don't break the agreement before Su Yue dies, no one will be harmed."

After saying this, he handed the DV camera back to his subordinate next to him.

He left the hall with some of the drug dealers, leaving only about a dozen people to guard the hostages.

However, as soon as the door closed, he stayed put.

"Leaving through the fire escape? Is that your style, Su Yue? Intentionally making noise to deceive me?"

Song Wen sneered, and then he dialed the number of a drug dealer who was still in the hall.

"Check the numbers, the number of hostages and the number of our own people. Don't make a sound, check quietly."

After waiting for a few minutes, Song Wen became impatient.

"Why is it taking so long to check the numbers?" He was a little agitated, and then he dialed the drug dealer's number again.

"Why haven't you finished checking yet?"

But after he said this, he didn't hear the other party's answer, only some low breathing sounds, as if they had encountered something terrifying and were holding their breath to hide from something.

At this time, Song Wen was in the stairwell of the fire escape, with only the safety exit sign emitting a faint green light...

Song Wen paused for a moment, then pressed on, "Have you finished checking! Speak up!"

Under his interrogation, the drug dealer's voice finally came out, and it seemed to be trembling: "Di... Director... fin... finished checking..."

Song Wen frowned and asked, "What's the situation after checking? Are there fewer people?"

The drug dealer seemed to swallow, answering very hesitantly. "No... no fewer people... but..."

Song Wen naturally heard the unusual tone and pressed, "But what?!"

The voice on the other end of the phone became increasingly unbelievable, as if they had seen a ghost, and they answered tremblingly: "But... seven people appeared out of nowhere!"

Hearing the phrase "But... seven people appeared out of nowhere!", Song Wen's brain suddenly jolted.

In his expectation, the number remaining the same or decreasing was normal. Even if the number of people decreased more, it would be understandable, but what was going on with seven more people?

Does Su Yue really have superpowers?

Song Wen was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure seven people appeared out of nowhere?"

Although he could hear the disbelief in his subordinate's voice, he still couldn't understand what else could explain this situation besides miscounting.

Not only was Song Wen stunned, but everyone watching the live stream was also shocked by this news.

"Seven more hostages appeared?"

"My god, how did he do it?"

"How is this possible!"

Such bullet comments kept appearing in the live stream. Indeed, to anyone, it was impossible for seven more people to appear.

A Qi, who was watching the live stream, also thought the same. No matter what, there should have been fewer people or the same number of people. What was going on with these seven extra people?

If Su Yue had already left the hall, then there would now be eight extra people.

What was going on with these eight people?

And no matter how he thought about it, in A Qi's opinion, this was completely impossible.

Gao Xiang and Li Ou, watching this scene, had the same thought.

"Even knowing this must be Su Yue's doing, when did he set this up?"

"These are seven people! They're not seven playing cards; how could they suddenly appear in the hall without a sound?"

Such thoughts simultaneously filled the minds of Li Ou and A Qi.
