Chapter 123 When the Enemy is a Child
Time passed by minute by minute, and Su Ming didn't know how much time had passed, but after the fear stairs, he loaded a timer function into the system.
So he knew that after they came in here, they had been in this black gate space for five hours and thirty minutes. It was now half past twelve at midnight. In less than half an hour, Isabella would be resurrected.
Then, they only need to wait another twenty-one hours to pass the information to Sylvie.
Afterwards, Sylvie should immediately send people into this black door space. After all, as long as the rules of this space are known, most of the dangers will be eliminated.
In addition, it would be great if we could find Xia Xiaoyu again during this period of time. Xia Xiaoyu should have arrived at the other party's gathering place and should have known more information. If this information could be conveyed at the same time, the security would be much higher.
Just as Su Ming was thinking this, he suddenly heard footsteps.
The three of them just sat there without moving. The footsteps were obviously from someone else, and not Xia Xiaoyu, because Yang Yangyang next to him gently touched him and Yang Yangyang also heard the footsteps.
Su Ming took a gentle breath and unplugged the smoke bomb.
The next second, a ball of fire appeared in the distance, the light illuminated the space, and Su Ming's smoke bomb was also thrown out.
At this moment, Su Ming saw the appearance of the people coming. There were three of them, all very young boys with childish faces. Their average height was only 1.5 meters, and the tallest one was about 1.6 meters.
And in the palm of one of them, there was a ball of fire burning.
"Here they are!" the little boy shouted.
Smoke enveloped the corridor, and a ball of raging flames rolled over like a rolling wall. Su Ming's body was submerged in the smoke, and his body became transparent in the smoke, passing through the wall of fire without any injury.
He rushed to the other side at lightning speed, kicked out like lightning, and knocked one of them unconscious with a roundhouse kick. He grabbed the wrist of the other boy with his left hand, turned around and threw him to the ground.
The last child, seeing his companions being knocked down one after another, turned around without hesitation and rushed into the black door next to him.
"We were found." said Yang Yangyang.
Su Ming nodded, held down the struggling child on the ground, and murmured to himself: "Why is there a child?"
"Let me go! You let me go!" The boy kept twisting and struggling under Su Ming's hands. "You demons, do you really want to kill us all?"
Kill them all?
Su Ming frowned, he seemed to have heard something interesting.
"What does it mean to kill you all?" Su Ming asked.
"Assholes! I'm going to kill you all!" the boy said angrily.
The boy's struggling strength suddenly increased, and even Su Ming was surprised.
The posture Su Ming is currently using is reverse joint suppression. Logically, the opponent should not be able to exert any force at all, but now his strength is becoming stronger and stronger.
A strengthening ability?
Su Ming took out two different metals from his pocket and swallowed them, regaining his control over the boy.
"No, we are not bad people, and we are not here to kill you. We just want to solve the weirdness of the Black Gate." Su Ming explained.
"Damn it! Bastards! You guys..."
Su Ming thought for a few seconds, then stretched out his other hand and pressed the other person 's carotid sinus, causing his brain to be ischemic and he fell into a coma.
Then he released his grip on the boy.
"It seems the situation is very tricky." Yang Yangyang said.
Su Ming nodded in agreement.
Yang Yangyang was right. The current situation was indeed tricky. These kids should not be unforgivable criminals. And from what he said just now, it was obvious that someone had brainwashed them, making them think that they, the outsiders, were here to invade them.
In the eyes of these children, they were the big villains who invaded their homes.
"They are using children as shields. This is quite troublesome for the enemy. Su Ming, you have to make a decision. If the enemies we encounter in the future are these children, what will you do?" Yang Yangyang asked.
Su Ming fell into deep thought, then sighed: "If this is true, then we can only kill him."
Yang Yangyang glanced at Su Ming sideways and was surprised by Su Ming's decisiveness.
That's right, killing is the best option .
There are not many paths available for them to take now. The Black Gate Space is a battlefield familiar to the opponent, and they have no geographical advantage.
All the kids here have been brainwashed, and the other side has a large number of people with special abilities, which means they don’t have any support either.
As for time, Isabella will be resurrected in less than an hour, but it will take another 21 hours to pass on the information. To withstand the attacks of these psychics for such a long time is as difficult as climbing to heaven... They don't have the right timing either.
They had no luck in terms of time, location, and people, and their group was already in a desperate situation.
If they still adhere to morality in desperate situations, then the only thing waiting for them in the end is death.
The enemy must have brainwashed these children severely. They will definitely not be convinced by their explanation in a short period of time. If they continue to be indecisive and soft-hearted, they will not be able to accomplish anything in the end.
At this time, only by being ruthless and cruel can you have a chance of survival.
Su Ming's judgment is correct, but his decision is "wrong". The world will not approve of this approach, even if it is the best solution.
Yang Yangyang took a deep breath, pulled out the straight knife from his back, and asked, "Are we going to kill them now?"
Yang Yangyang's idea was very simple. Since Su Ming had already shown his determination, they could not hypocritically pretend to be forced by orders. He wanted to stand with Su Ming. If anyone wanted to become a demon who killed children, then let him do it first.
"Not yet. As long as we can complete the mission as quickly as possible, the Investigation Bureau can suppress them safely afterwards." Su Ming stopped the other party. "Let's leave here first. They will be here soon."
Yang Yangyang nodded, walked to the back and helped Wang Qiang up. Wang Qiang was still holding the dead Sun Lanxin and refused to let go.
"Wang Qiang, she's dead. You have to live."
"I would rather die with her."
Su Ming stepped forward.
"Wang Qiang, do you know what she said to me before she died?"
Wang Qiang's lifeless eyes finally showed some light. He looked up at Su Ming and asked in a trembling voice, "What did she say?"
"She asked me to protect you and tell you to take good care of the child."
When he heard the word "child", Wang Qiang's body trembled violently. He looked at Sun Lanxin in his arms, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Then he let go of the other person and stood up with the help of Yang Yangyang.
"Very good. Let's go."
Su Ming turned on the flashlight, shone it around, and chose the black door that the child had escaped through.
The reason why he made this choice was very simple. The child ran away, so he must have gone to find help, and the path he took must be the way to find help.
Because of the characteristics of the Black Gate space, the routes going back and forth to the same two locations are definitely different, so if you choose the Black Gate that the child took, you will most likely not be hit by the psychics coming to rescue you.
After passing through several black doors, Su Ming looked at the time and it was finally time to summon Isabella.
"Isabella." Su Ming called.
The call echoed in the small space, but there was no response.
"What's going on? Is it because the time hasn't come yet?" Yang Yangyang said.
Su Ming looked at the time again and shook his head: "No, it's definitely here. I remember it very clearly."
"Then why didn't the housekeeper come out?" Yang Yangyang asked puzzledly.
Su Ming was silent. He felt that the situation seemed to have subtly deviated from his original prediction.
"I'm afraid the situation has become slightly more favorable."
