566: stunned

Inside the fire escape stairwell, Song Wen asked, "Are you sure there are seven extra people?" and received a still somewhat incredulous confirmation from his subordinate.

"No mistake..."

"It's true, there are indeed seven extra!"

This made it impossible for Song Wen's brain to make further judgments based on the number, meaning Su Yue might be there, or he might not.

What he needed to confirm as quickly as possible now was the identity of these seven extra people!

Or was this just Su Yue's diversion?

He gritted his teeth and ordered his other subordinates in the hallway, "Start searching floor by floor, four people per floor. Once you find Su Yue, you can deal with him however you like, except for killing him."

After speaking, he walked into the lobby again, simultaneously taking out his phone and contacting Liu You: "Liu You, keep a close eye on the surveillance. Once Su Yue shows his face, we'll surround him immediately."

Liu You also nodded: "Don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, Song Wen walked directly towards the drug dealer who had just been responsible for counting the people.

"You said there were seven extra people?" he asked, still somewhat incredulously.

The drug dealer nodded, pointed to the group of hostages, but stammered for a long time without saying anything.

Su Yue's previous elusiveness, coupled with his so-called "superpower," and the sudden, inexplicable appearance of extra people in the venue...

All of this instilled a strange fear of Su Yue in this drug dealer.

Song Wen no longer looked at this subordinate but focused his gaze on the group of hostages.

Under the scrutiny of so many people, he wanted to achieve a worldwide sensation in this live broadcast, to have his name remembered, and even used as movie material in the future, but all of this had to happen after defeating Su Yue.

Otherwise, this live broadcast, which he had exchanged for countless lives, would become Su Yue's wedding dress, and he himself would become the world's laughingstock.

Reaching this point now, although it was not in his plan, it had no impact on his original plan.

So he had to defeat Su Yue thoroughly, in every sense!

Let these blind fools know that no matter how sharp Su Yue is in your hearts, it's only because he hasn't met me!

This live broadcast will be the step for me, Song Wen, to ascend to the altar of criminal history!

Song Wen was indeed a lunatic, but there was only a fine line between genius and lunatic.

At this moment, his gaze swept through the crowd and quickly noticed that many people were looking down, making it difficult to distinguish their appearances.

"Lift your heads!" he said in a cold voice, "Let me see your faces! Anyone who can report Su Yue now can leave this place."

There was immense mockery in his eyes.

He knew the depravity of these people very well; he had seen the phrase 'man for himself, heaven and earth destroy him' countless times since he started struggling in the darkness at the age of eighteen.

He knew that if someone here could leave, that person would never give up such an opportunity.

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, waiting for someone to reveal Su Yue in order to survive.

"Since he used a diversion like having seven extra people, it means he is very likely still in the lobby. These extra people are likely those who were prepared in the lobby beforehand."

As he was thinking this, he found that everyone was still looking down, without any movement.

Song Wen was a bit surprised. Since there were seven extra people, even if these people didn't know that the extra people might be Su Yue, they should report the extra people at this time...

But why wasn't anyone speaking!

His heart was filled with surprise!

Two minutes passed, but still no one spoke!

"What a joke!" he roared angrily in his heart, "A bunch of hypocrites! Fake!"

As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw someone among the hostages whose back was turned towards him.

He froze for a moment, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he walked towards that person.

He grabbed the hostage who had his back turned and pulled him over, and saw his face...

And that face was precisely Su Yue's face!

Not only did he see it, everyone in the live broadcast room also saw it.

"Su Yue is still here? Isn't this the end?"

"It's really Su Yue!"

"It's over, he's been discovered!"

Song Wen chuckled coldly twice, pulled out his gun, and pointed it at Su Yue's head: "Su Yue, you're finished!"

On the screen, Su Yue's expression was also extremely panicked, as if he hadn't expected such a situation to occur.

However, Song Wen did not pull the trigger. The DV camera turned from the gun muzzle to Song Wen.

But they found that Song Wen's gaze was not on the Su Yue in front of him.

The barrage of comments on the screen asked: "What is he looking at? What's going on?" "What? Isn't he going to kill Su Yue?"

However, a hint of doubt flickered in Song Wen's eyes... because at this moment, he discovered that it wasn't just this one person whose back was turned!

Song Wen straightened his body and said to the few people who had their backs to him, "You! Turn around! Everyone look at me!"

Hearing his words, those few people also slowly turned their bodies.

Song Wen's eyes were fixed on them.

The first one to turn around also looked like Su Yue!

Seeing this scene, Song Wen's eyes widened, his heart raced, as if he had fallen into some secret palace!

"Damn it!" But before he could think about anything, he quickly looked at the second person who turned around...

He seemed to have some anticipation of this scene in his heart, but when he actually saw it, his heart trembled again!

It was still Su Yue!

The third one was also!

The fourth one was the same!

The fifth, the sixth...

A full seven Su Yues!

These seven Su Yues were exactly the same, looking at him with various expressions at this moment. The scene was extremely bizarre and made Song Wen's heart tremble.

What on earth is going on!

In the live broadcast room, the scene of the seven Su Yues suddenly appeared, shocking everyone.

"Seven Su Yues?! Which one is real?"

"What's going on with these extra people?"

"Does Su Yue have superpowers?"

Their shock was beyond words, as if they were watching a horror movie and such an incredible situation suddenly appeared.

Did Su Yue not escape? Was the opened ventilation duct just a diversion?

Not only ordinary viewers, but even Gao Xiang, who had been paying attention to Su Yue, was stunned.

He was one of the few people in the world who could understand Su Yue's behavioral patterns. He knew that Su Yue's plans and psychological maneuvers were only aimed at his targets, causing them to fall into blind spots and traps.

However, at this moment, Gao Xiang looked at the situation before him and also fell into confusion and distress.

"How could there be seven Su Yues?"

"Are these people he prepared beforehand?"

"Impossible, Su Yue has always been a lone wolf. His plans and schemes are based on his control of people's hearts and the situation."

"How could he find helpers?"

Gao Xiang stared at the screen with wide eyes, his heart full of questions. He began to ponder Su Yue's purpose and suddenly thought of something: "His purpose is to save the hostages and escape Song Wen's pursuit..."

"Then is he still at the scene?"

This question lingered in his mind; the impact brought by these seven Su Yues was too great!

At the same time, the Municipal Bureau Officers in the temporary command post were also in great shock.

They all speculated, how did Su Yue do it? This is simply impossible!

A Qi's eyes widened, and he suddenly understood why he had always been trailing behind Su Yue and never gotten ahead.

Because if Su Yue didn't want to do it this way, he wouldn't be able to touch Su Yue in the slightest!

In fact, if it weren't for Su Yue always adhering to his bottom line, let alone the Special Task Force falling apart, it would have been possible for everyone to die in an accident!

After all, Su Yue could even do something like this, and in this live broadcast with millions of viewers, no one noticed how this happened!

In the lobby, Song Wen's expression was also somewhat frozen.

However, his eyes showed that he was not intimidated by the scene before him; he had not given up thinking.

On the contrary, the appearance of this scene made Song Wen's brain begin to frantically process various clues.

He hadn't experienced such thinking for a long time, especially after reaching the top of the Guangzhou gray food chain, where many things didn't require him to think seriously.

However, this time, Song Wen knew he had met his match. Not only was he not taken aback, but a wave of excitement surged in his heart!

"Very good! Defeating you this way makes sense! Su Yue, bring me more surprises!" This thought further ignited his fighting spirit.

Some key clues quickly appeared in his mind: the metallic clanging sound that suddenly appeared about two to three minutes after the lights went out.

This meant that Su Yue remained in the lobby during these two to three minutes.

However, the speed of leaving through the ventilation duct would originally be very slow...

"Since the speed of moving through the ventilation duct is very slow, what is the point of you staying here for an extra two or three minutes?"

Song Wen muttered to himself, "This will only further slow down your progress, Su Yue. The range you can escape will be even narrower.

That means, in fact, this ventilation duct was indeed just a diversion, and your real purpose is to stay here, isn't it?

You think I'll panic and be confused when I see seven Su Yues? What a joke...

You will definitely lose tonight, Su Yue!"

At this moment, Song Wen was absolutely certain that Su Yue was still in this lobby.

There was no other possibility. As for how the number of people increased...

Several possibilities appeared in Song Wen's mind. The first possibility was that he had prepared other people beforehand.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why there were seven extra people, meaning the reason Su Yue was so confident standing in front of him just now was because of his ambush?

Had he already prepared some of his people in the lobby?

Thinking this, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Song Wen's mouth.

"So that's it, I knew you wouldn't take risks, Su Yue."

He looked at those people, then spoke in a low voice, instructing his subordinates beside him: "Go and wipe their faces clean. If they are not the original hostages... then kill them all."

He said with a cold laugh: "Su Yue, our agreement was not to harm the hostages, but it didn't say not to harm others.

Of course, Su Yue, you are definitely watching my actions in some way.

I don't think you could possibly forget this greatest advantage of yours; it could be said to be your only basis for winning.

If you appear, none of these people will have to die.

When they all show their true faces, Su Yue, that will be your death day."

Hearing Song Wen say this, the faces of those few "Su Yues" suddenly became extremely pale and very panicked.

But Song Wen didn't care about their expressions; several guns were already pointed at them.

Song Wen watched as the standing "Su Yues" had their faces wiped, and felt a surge of excitement.

The extra people must be people who were not among the hostages.

Su Yue, your people are about to die by my hand, aren't you going to come out and save them?"

But just as he was thinking this, one of the "Su Yues" seemed to suddenly break down. He roared with a crying voice: "I'm not Su Yue's helper! I'm an employee! I'm Cheng Hong from the iOS software programming and design department! Boss Yang! Don't kill me!"

As he spoke, Song Wen's originally smug eyes suddenly froze.

Clearly, the person who spoke was indeed his employee.

So what was going on?

Not only this Cheng Hong, but others also cried out, revealing their identities.

However, these seven people were all original hostages!

The appearance of this scene caused Song Wen's brain to suddenly crash!

Everything he had been thinking before was wrong!

Seeing this scene, Chu Qing was stunned.

She had no idea that seven Su Yues would appear, and what confused her even more was that these seven Su Yues were all originally members of the hostages.

Her heart was full of questions. How on earth did Su Yue do it?

And where was the real Su Yue at this moment?

The audience in front of their screens also fell into contemplation upon seeing this scene. Their minds seemed blank, completely unable to imagine any possible explanation.

Initially, many people thought Su Yue truly possessed superpowers, but seeing that these hostages were indeed all original people, although they dismissed the idea of Su Yue having superpowers, they were still at a loss regarding this mystery and ultimately couldn't help but think in the direction of superpowers.

"Is Su Yue really a superpower user?"

"This is simply an airtight locked room. How could he make the number of hostages increase by seven?"

On the barrage, the audience's shocked comments were endless.

Song Wen was stunned for a long time before he recovered. He realized that these seven people were not Su Yue.

So, where was Su Yue? Did he really escape through the ventilation duct?

Was the two or three minutes he stayed here just a diversion? Was it to deliberately mislead me?

Song Wen was full of doubts but could not figure out the root of the problem.

Since these few "Su Yues" were originally hostages, what exactly was going on?

Why were there seven extra people?

He was completely baffled.

However, the most important thing was that if he couldn't figure this out, he couldn't determine whether Su Yue was still in this auditorium.

The ventilation ducts branched out in all directions, leading to various rooms. Searching inside them was like searching for a needle in a haystack, and they didn't have enough manpower.
