Bang!
The door of Leaf Dining was kicked open by a group of thugs.
A group of thugs barged in angrily. The one who spoke first even swung the baseball bat in his hand and pointed it at Teddy and Kieran. He tilted his neck, curled his lips, and glared at them, saying, "Behave yourselves, don't cause trouble for yourselves!"
Kieran calmly tidied up the newspaper he had just read and watched the thugs walk towards Amy in the corner.
Teddy, on the other hand, looked gloomy.
Since when was the night in Ai City so dangerous?
How dare someone break into my house and kidnap someone?
"Stop!"
Teddy let out a loud shout.
"I told you not to cause trouble for yourselves, you …"
The man with the baseball bat laughed coldly at Teddy, but his laughter stopped abruptly.
A police badge was shining under the light.
Of course, the most important thing was the gun in Teddy's hand. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at them.
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
The man with the baseball bat was stunned, but a middle-aged man with a wound on his forehead who seemed to be quite experienced wasn't. He walked out and showed a flattering smile to Teddy.
"Officer, this is really a misunderstanding.
We are just messing around … "
Bang!
Before he finished, sparks were fired from the gun's muzzle.
The man with the wound on his forehead looked down at the blood stain on his chest, then looked at Teddy in disbelief.
Shouldn't the officer give a warning first and only shoot after the warning was ineffective?
Why did he shoot?
Until the moment he died, the man didn't know what happened.
At this moment, the people in the surroundings who had been so aggressive were as quiet as cicadas in winter. Some of them immediately ran out.
Bang!
A loud gunshot later, the man who ran first fell to the ground.
The rest of the thugs were frightened to the point that they dared not move.
At this time, Teddy shouted anxiously, "Run! Run! "
Teddy shouted but he wasn't slow at all.
Bang, Bang, Bang!
Another series of gunshots sounded.
The thugs who barged into the restaurant fell to the ground one after another.
Then, the gun was pointed at Kieran.
"Run!"
Teddy looked at Kieran, who was still sitting there, and became more and more anxious. He tried to control his body, but it was useless.
His consciousness still existed.
However, his body seemed to have become someone else's.
It was completely out of his control!
Just like just now, he had only pulled out his gun to warn them. He had no intention of shooting at all.
But in the end, it turned into a shooting.
Throughout the entire process, Teddy did not feel anything at all, as if everything was natural. It was only after the gunshot that he was shocked.
But at that time, he had completely lost control of his body.
Teddy couldn't help but close his eyes when he saw Kieran sitting there in a daze as if he had been scared silly.
He didn't dare to watch the next scene.
His finger was already on the trigger.
Ka!
The firing pin missed.
There were no more bullets!
Teddy was stunned for a moment before he opened his eyes. He saw himself leaping over the bar counter and swinging his fist at Kieran.
Then …
He was knocked down by Kieran with one punch.
Bang!
Teddy's back was smashed hard against the wooden bar counter. The excruciating pain made him clench his teeth. Then, he suddenly realized he could control his body again.
Just like how he had lost control of his body before.
After regaining control of his body, Teddy unconsciously touched his arm. Then, he looked at the floor full of bodies and fell into a daze, not knowing what to do.
As the chief officer, it wasn't that Teddy had never fired a gun and killed before.
But every single one of the victims he had killed was a vicious and evil person.
It was a first for him to kill a street thug.
And it was under the premise that he only needed to give a warning.
'What happened?
What did I do? '
Teddy stood there, looking at his hands blankly.
"I think you should take a good look at your body."
"If it's possible, you'd better remember if you've seen anyone or eaten anything recently."
Kieran's voice sounded. Teddy looked at Kieran blankly for a few seconds before he came back to his senses.
Without a second thought, Teddy started to take off his clothes and check his body.
The moment he took off his coat, he noticed something was wrong.
A paper doll the size of a palm was stuck to Teddy's shirt at some point.
"What the …?"
Teddy tore off the paper doll. When he saw his name, date of birth, and the blood on the paper doll, he was shocked and bewildered.
"Can I have a look?"
Kieran asked.
Teddy hesitated for a while before passing the paper man to Kieran.
[Name: Cursed Paper Man]
[Type: ETC]
[Rarity: Magic]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attribute: Control (0/1)]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisite: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: No]
[Remark: A witchcraft spell that has been passed down for generations. Many people use it, but most of them are just to scare people. This one is different! (Note: Your Mystical Knowledge level is too low to further understand related knowledge)]
…
[Control: After acquiring the controlled target's name, date of birth, and blood, stick the paper man on the target's back to temporarily control the target (Requires a rank E- Spirit authentication, will not work if passed)]
…
When Kieran's finger touched the paper man, lines of words appeared before his eyes.
Kieran frowned when he saw the words.
His opponent was much more cunning than he thought.
After a single failure, Teddy had given up on his original methods.
But at the same time, it exposed a lot more things.
"Witchcraft?"
Kieran muttered in his heart.
"What did you find?"
Teddy asked.
The chief officer was eager to know what was going on.
"Do you know about witchcraft?"
Kieran asked.
"Witchcraft?
How is this possible?
Those are just … "
Teddy wanted to refute Kieran's claim, but the moment the words escaped his mouth, he thought of his uncontrollable actions.
Immediately, Teddy went silent.
Two to three seconds later, he looked at Kieran.
"There really is witchcraft?"
Teddy asked.
"The world is big, nothing is strange.
Besides, didn't you notice it's too quiet outside after such a long time? "
After Kieran's reminder, Teddy finally realized something wasn't right.
Yes!
It was too quiet!
The gunshot just now was enough to shatter the silence of the night!
His men weren't useless, they would have rushed here as fast as they could.
But now?
There wasn't even a siren, let alone a man!
Unconsciously, Teddy looked at Kieran.
He wanted to know what was going on.
However, Kieran didn't say anything this time. Instead, he turned around and went into the kitchen.
Starbeck had been waiting in the kitchen.
"Is it dangerous?"
Starbeck asked nervously.
"Em."
Kieran nodded without hiding anything. Instead of letting Starbeck speculate and make him more anxious, he might as well spill it out.
"What should I do?"
Starbeck asked after a deep breath.
"Take off your clothes."
Kieran said.
Huh?
Starbeck was stunned, but the tacit understanding between them didn't stop him from taking off his clothes.
"Turn around."
After the coat was taken off, Kieran said.
Starbeck turned around obediently and took off his shirt as well, leaving only a small singlet on his back.
Kieran heaved a breath of relief.
Witchcraft wasn't something scary to Kieran.
He just had to be careful, but if Starbeck was poisoned with witchcraft, it would be troublesome.
"Are you done?"
Starbeck asked with his back facing Kieran.
"Em.
"It's fine."
"Remember, from now on, until I remind you, you are not allowed to touch anything that you are not familiar with or find strange."
Kieran nodded.
"Okay."
Starbeck nodded, put on his clothes, and turned around.
Kieran was searching for some other useful but inconspicuous items in the kitchen, so he didn't notice Starbeck's shy gaze and blushing face.
"Let's go."
Kieran grabbed all the useful items he had found and walked out.
Starbeck followed closely behind.
When they reached the lobby, Kieran gave one of the kitchen knives to Starbeck and the other to Teddy.
"We don't have guns here, but it's better than fighting barehanded."
Teddy nodded in agreement after Kieran said that.
Teddy then saw Kieran take out a long sword wrapped in animal skin and 4 bottles of molotov cocktail from under the counter.
"Don't tell me what kind of gathering you usually attend."
Teddy looked at the crystal clear Molotov cocktail and couldn't help but feel his temples swell.
He knew Kieran wasn't a normal person.
However, he also didn't expect the molotov cocktail under the counter that he was crawling on just now.
"Nope.
I'm used to … being with Roye. "
Kieran shook his head. When the words came out of his mouth, he changed them so that he wouldn't expose himself.
"It better be.
What should we do now? "
Teddy asked after a deep breath.
Without answering, Kieran lit up the molotov cocktail and tossed it outside the restaurant.
Under Teddy's gaze, the molotov cocktail flew in an arc before disappearing from sight.
It didn't explode!
It didn't explode!
Teddy cautiously approached the restaurant's entrance, and he gasped in shock.
Somehow, the entrance of the restaurant had turned into a bottomless abyss.
Around him was darkness that surpassed his imagination.
Even with his sight, he couldn't see anything.
"This … This …"
Teddy opened his mouth, trying to describe what he saw, but he couldn't find any words to describe it.
Kieran, on the other hand, threw the molotov cocktails in his hand one after another without any hesitation.
When all the molotov cocktails were gone, Kieran picked up the gas tank that he found in the kitchen, opened the valve, lit it up, and tossed it out.
Half a tank of gas was thrown out by Kieran's strength, spinning and falling into the bottomless abyss.
However, unlike the molotov cocktails that were swallowed without a sound, a moment later, the tank exploded.
KABOOM!
The shockwave from the explosion caused the ground to tremble.
Then, Kieran picked up another tank and tossed it out.
Another explosion.
When Kieran picked up the third tank, Teddy, who had been watching the bottomless abyss outside, was shocked.
The bottomless abyss was disappearing bit by bit.
"The abyss …"
Fuuu!
KABOOM!
Teddy wanted to tell Kieran the good news, but Kieran still tossed the tank out.
The huge explosion caused more tremors than any of the previous ones.
Teddy's ears even buzzed.
Aaaargh!
Amidst the buzzing, an agonizing scream was heard.
The agonizing scream was vicious and vicious, causing Teddy to grip the kitchen knife in his hand tightly. He waited for a while, but nothing happened.
Instead, the darkness in front of the restaurant dispersed.
A straight corridor appeared in front of him.
"This … This is Ai City University's corridor!"
After a single glance, Chief Teddy cried out in shock.
He was very familiar with the place.
Recently, if he wasn't going to the site to check it out, he would look at the photos every day. He could almost remember how many tiles there were in this corridor.
"What should we do?
Should we go in and investigate? "
Chief Teddy was at a loss as to what to do when the strange phenomenon appeared again.
All he could do was pin his hopes on Kieran, who seemed to know everything.
Then, he saw Kieran pick up another gas tank.
"How many gas tanks do you have?"
Teddy couldn't hold back his question, even in this kind of situation.
"There are four stoves at the back."
Kieran replied and tossed the gas tank away again.
KABOOM!
The gas tank rolled far enough before it exploded.
The shockwave reverberated in the corridor.
Not even the glass was broken, let alone the walls.
Teddy looked at the scene in shock.
Even though he didn't understand what was happening before his eyes, he knew this seemingly familiar corridor wasn't the one he remembered.
Unfortunately, there was only one last gas tank left.
Otherwise …
"Why do you still have more?
Didn't you say there were four stoves? "
Just as Chief Teddy was regretting that he couldn't use the quantitative method to induce qualitative change to test the corridor in front of him, he turned around and saw Kieran and Starbeck pushing a trolley filled with gas canisters out of the kitchen.
"Must four stoves be four gas tanks?"
Isn't it common sense to put a few more gas tanks in the kitchen as backup? "
Kieran said as he picked up the gas tank, lit it up, and tossed it into the corridor.
KABOOM!
The explosion happened again.
The corridor, which didn't suffer any damage from the previous explosion, was instantly blasted into pieces.
Then, the corridor collapsed.
It revealed what should have been outside the restaurant.
"It's gone?!"
Chief Teddy shouted in surprise.
Kieran smiled coldly, picked up the gas tank again, and tossed it out.
