Li Bai ran as fast as he could. Because he was familiar with the terrain, he could easily get rid of the pursuers behind him. However, he could not get rid of the annoying owl above his head.
The latter stuck to him like a piece of sticky candy, acting as his GPS. No matter how hard he tried to scare it away, it refused to leave. Of course, the owl wouldn't get too close, and Li Bai had no long-range weapons on him. All he could do was run away. Sometimes, he had to rush into other people's houses.
However, both sides had a tacit understanding that they did not want to attract the attention of ordinary people. Li Bai chose the houses where the owners had not returned yet.
Big Beardy started to admire the kid in front of him. His opponent was a monster of stamina. He had been running for a quarter of an hour, and although he was sweating profusely, he did not slow down.
It was a waste for this guy to be a player. He should practice long-distance running. Maybe he could become an Olympic champion after some training.
Unfortunately, Arc of Light sent more than two teams of players tonight. The other group of players were not as friendly as them.
While Li Bai was running away, he still looked back to pay attention to the movements of the pursuers behind him. Suddenly, a golf club stretched out from behind the wall in front of him and hit him directly on his right leg.
Li Bai felt a sharp pain in his calf. From the sound, it was obvious that his leg was fractured. However, he was very tough. Even if he was sweating all over, he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.
He forced himself to use his remaining leg to leap forward.
The person who attacked him was not in a hurry. He waved his hand to stop his men who were about to pounce on him and said, "Run! Keep running! Aren't you always good at running? Although there is a request from the higher-ups to spare your life in exchange, it means that as long as you can still breathe, it's fine … Speaking of which, you guys killed our people and even hid the murderer. Don't tell me that you guys really don't need to pay any price? "
As he spoke, he loosened the tie on his suit and walked forward with the golf club.
Li Bai, who was running for his life, tripped over something and fell to the ground. However, he still did not speak. He just crawled toward the barbershop not far away.
At this time, the two teams led by Big Beardy finally caught up. Big Beardy frowned when he saw this scene. "Don't cause trouble. Hurry up and catch him and report to the higher-ups."
"Don't be in such a hurry. We've been busy for so long, we should have some fun." He swung the golf club in his hand twice, but then he found that the guy in front of him who had been running for his life suddenly stopped crawling. Li Bai leaned against the door of the closed barber shop and looked at them coldly.
For some reason, a sense of uneasiness rose in the bearded man's heart. He quickly pulled out the pistol at his waist. However, he had only pulled out the gun halfway when he found that his body was frozen in place. He could not move at all.
However, his brain was still working fast, and he immediately realized where the problem was. The tri-colored cylindrical lamp by the door of the barbershop looked like it had been there for a long time. It was obviously a game item. Within a certain range, as long as one's gaze landed on it, they would be unable to look away.
Unfortunately, it was too late by the time he realized this. In fact, at this time, as long as one person reminded the people behind them to block their eyes, they would be able to regain their freedom. However, those who realized this could not make a sound.
So, four teams, a total of twenty-four people, were all frozen in place.
At this time, Rabbit and Shen Xixi also walked out of the barbershop. Rabbit ran to Li Bai's side immediately and asked with concern, "Hey, you bastard. Are you okay?"
Although the latter's calf was hurting, he still squeezed out an ugly smile at Rabbit. "I'm fine. If I don't take the risk, I won't be able to catch the wolf. If I suddenly stopped in front of the barbershop, they would probably be alerted. They might not rush over to me."
On the other side, Shen Xixi also nodded at Li Bai. "Hang in there. I asked the faceless man and Old K to get the car. We will bring you to the hospital first."
The latter shook his head, "Don't. It's just a fracture. I won't die even if it's a little late. We finally caught so many of them, and there should be two leaders among them. Here, the two with the golf club and the bearded man. Let's negotiate with the Arc of Light first."
Before he could finish his sentence, a strange voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
"Heh, you want to negotiate with us? This bargaining chip is not enough."
The one who spoke was a woman who looked about the same age as Shen Xixi. Dressed in sportswear, she looked like a person who went for a night run. She took off her Bluetooth headset and put it in her pocket. She did not seem to notice the frozen people not far away. Instead, she looked at Shen Xixi with interest. After a while, a smile appeared on her face.
"Very good. Just like what we analyzed, you are not someone who would sit back and wait for death."
"You are?" Shen Xixi asked in a deep voice.
"You can call me Lil Bing. Although I have always hated this nickname, the bastards in the guild call me that. So, it doesn't matter." The woman named Lil Bing introduced herself. "I am from the Arc of Light's strategic analysis department. I have no other work for the past month, and most of my time has been studying you."
"So, last night's attack was premeditated?!" Li Bai immediately shouted, "You have been preparing for it since a month ago, haven't you?"
Lil Bing rolled her eyes and looked at Shen Xixi. The look in her eyes seemed to say, 'Why is your idiot asking such a stupid question at a time like this?'
Shen Xixi ignored her and asked, "What did you find out from my body?"
"Every aspect." Lil Bing snapped her fingers. "Your personality, horoscope, interpersonal relationships, style of doing things, values, outlook on life, and even your views on choosing a spouse. So no matter what you do, it's no secret to me."
"After spouting so much nonsense, all of you were still taken down by us the moment you showed up." Rabbit snorted coldly. After seeing Li Bai injured, she was in a bad mood. Her whole body was in a flammable and explosive state.
"You are wrong, little girl," Lil Bing shook her head. "I said that every move you make is within our expectations. So, of course, we know you want to capture someone. Not only do I know, but I also sent these guys for you to capture."
Big Beard did not know what the man in the suit was thinking. If he could speak now, he would have started cursing.
However, Shen Xixi seemed to think of something when she heard that, and her expression changed.
"Yes, that's right. Your two teammates are responsible for the rescue. Although the higher-ups wanted to capture a few of your men and force you to hand them over, I think it's better to capture them all at once. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. After you captured our men, you informed your men to come over. Otherwise, we would not have been able to find them in such a short time." Lil Bing smiled.
