“How are we going to do this, Deputy Captain? Her communication device is closed!”
Inside the room, two hackers, both girls, were frantically staring at the communication device, which was flashing red, indicating that the other party’s communication status was closed.
But how could the Deputy Captain possibly close her communication device in the middle of a mission?!
“Something must have gone wrong!”
Xue An was pacing back and forth in the room, looking anxious.
“What… what should we do? We…”
Yi Ruo stuttered, but stopped mid-sentence.
The three of them simultaneously looked towards the door.
“Is someone knocking on the door?” Xue An’s expression instantly turned grave, and he reached for the gun at his waist, asking his two teammates.
“Yes, someone is knocking on the door.” Yi Ruo replied, her face pale.
**Knock, knock, knock.**
Someone knocked on the door again, and this time everyone heard it clearly.
“You two go first. I’ll take a look.”
Jing Xuan took a deep breath, gathered her laptop, and said, “If it’s really the Black Soldier, use ‘that thing’ in time. Although it’s precious, it’s nothing compared to our lives.”
“Okay, I know. You two go first!”
Jing Xuan didn’t waste any more words, quickly opened her luggage, and pulled out two life jackets, one for herself and one for Yi Ruo. They opened the balcony window, and the cold sea wind rushed in, blowing their hair into a mess.
Before jumping off the ship, Jing Xuan turned to her team leader and said, “Team leader, promise me you’ll survive!”
“I will.”
**Knock, knock, knock.**
The knocking on the door continued.
Xue An muttered to himself, “Damn, they’re really in a hurry! Can’t they just give me a few more sentimental words?”
The knocking sound persisted.
Xue An didn’t bother to complain, he gripped his gun tightly and slowly approached the door, his heart filled with caution.
He pushed open the door and said, “Coming, coming, what’s the hurry?”
As he opened the door, Xue An tensed up, ready for battle, but his face remained expressionless.
“Sir, do you need a night snack?”
A steward pushed a food cart into the room, laden with all sorts of delicious desserts.
Xue An was taken aback, not expecting the person knocking on the door to be the ship’s steward.
**Discussion group: 56***⑦ 43 67 5**
The steward pushing the food cart looked utterly harmless, and Xue An immediately judged that he was an ordinary person, not a disguised Black Soldier.
Upon closer inspection, Xue An still believed that he was an ordinary person, radiating weakness and powerlessness.
Was he overthinking things?
Xue An slightly relaxed, forced a smile, and said, “No need, thank you.”
“Okay then.”
**Discussion group: 56***⑦ 43 67 5**
But Xue An couldn’t help asking, “Do you provide night snack services to all passengers on the ship?”
“Not really. We only send food to passengers who request it.”
“Hm? Then what’s going on now…”
The steward replied with a hint of complaint, “Someone called the kitchen and said a passenger on this deck wanted a night snack, but we didn’t know which room, and when we called back, no one answered, so we had to ask each room.”
At these words, Xue An’s hair stood on end!
We’ve been tricked!
He instinctively looked around the corridor.
At the far end of the corridor, a Black Soldier was standing still.
Why did he know it was a Black Soldier?
Because the guy’s attire was standard Black Soldier issue!
In an instant, Xue An’s face turned extremely ugly.
He didn’t suspect that the opponent was just cosplaying. At this moment, he recalled what Zhushi Jiu had said to him.
The Black Soldier had really arrived.
He thought they were only exposed to Zhushi Jiu’s gaze, but didn’t expect the Black Soldier to already be watching them.
The steward saw Xue An’s expression and felt strange, just as he was about to follow Xue An’s gaze, Xue An suddenly grasped his shoulder.
“Don’t turn around. Keep moving forward. If you want to survive, do as I say.”
The steward’s body froze, terror in his eyes, as he saw Xue An’s hand, which was still holding onto the cold gun behind his back.
“Sir, you…”
“Get out of here!”
Xue An glared at the steward with a fierce expression.
The steward didn’t dare say another word and quickly pushed the food cart away, escaping with his life.
“Good luck, then.”
This was both a warning to the steward and to himself.
Xue An turned to look at the Black Soldier, who was walking towards him, step by step, getting closer and closer.
He didn’t bother to shut the door because he knew it was futile. He retreated to the room, held up his silenced gun, and positioned himself just one step away from the balcony.
He knew the Black Soldier’s strength and didn’t plan to confront it head-on.
If he couldn’t win, he had already prepared an escape route.
Now, he wanted to give his two teammates, who had already escaped, more time.
The air was eerily quiet, and Xue An held his breath, his heart beating faster with each passing second, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
Just as he was about to hold his breath for too long, something suddenly flew out.
Xue An almost instinctively raised his hand and fired a shot!
He accurately hit the object that appeared at the door.
Only after hitting it did Xue An realize what he had hit – a dinner knife.
It was thrown out by the Black Soldier as a lure!
The bullet precisely hit the dinner knife, producing a clear ringing sound, and in this brief opening, the Black Soldier seized the opportunity.
A silver flash shot out, and another dinner knife flew towards Xue An’s neck, brushing past his skin!
“Damn!”
This intense scene made Xue An’s heart pound again.
As he dodged, the Black Soldier rushed into the room, swift as a black lightning bolt!
Xue An couldn’t help but retreat a step, firing multiple shots at the Black Soldier!
However, what made him want to curse was that his usually accurate shots were now as inaccurate as a scribble.
No matter how he shot, the Black Soldier would always take a step to the side, and the bullets would hit the wall behind.
Three steps later, the wall in front of him was riddled with holes, but the Black Soldier remained unscathed.
**Bang!**
The Black Soldier delivered a spinning kick, and Xue An’s gun flew out of his hand, hit the ceiling, and fell back down.
Xue An covered his arm, jumped back, and yelled at the Black Soldier, “I’ll settle the score with you next time!”
The Black Soldier took a step forward, but hesitated, recalling Zhushi Jiu’s instruction to “let him go.”
