Awakening - Chapter 215
Chapter 215 Sword
Besides Chang’an, the dark group members standing next to Chang’an and those Espers looking at them from the among the trees also watched this scene.
“What’s happening? Where did that man go?” One of the twins asked in surprised.
Suddenly, he heard a strange noise coming from behind, then, it was as if something fell to the ground.
At the same time, the twins clearly saw Rei Li, who has been floating in mid-air, all of a sudden fell down.
“Peter, what’s the matter?” Peter was the one responsible for handling Rei Li, so, seeing this, the twins immediately turned and asked.
But Peter was unable to answer them because his head has been separated from his neck.
What stood behind them was only a headless corpse whose blood gushed out of his severed neck. Perhaps because of the stiff joints, he did not fall down just yet.
Seeing this bizarre scene, the twins and two other Espers who stood near Peter freaked out, they did not know what just happened. They can only gawk at the slowly contracting muscle tissue on Peter’s severed neck.
“Pe, Peter!” One of the Espers called out.
Just then, one of the twins seemed to see something from the corner of his eyes. He quickly turned his head and saw next to one of the Espers suddenly appeared a man dressed in black clothes.
“David, be careful, there’s someone….”
But before he finished, he saw the man suddenly disappeared, but David showed an incredibly horrified look.
“Save me….” Tears welled up in David’s eyes. As the tears gushed out, bright red liquid continued to seep out from a very fine line on his neck
“Pa!” David slowly knelt down and then his entire upper body fell to the ground. When his body fell, his head separated from his body and rolled to the side. The ever-gushing blood that came out from the severed neck dyed a portion of the ground with dark red color.
“David!” One of the twins who gave a warning called out.
Another twins subconsciously looked at the third Espers.
As he expected, that ghost-like black figure appeared beside that third Espers.
Having no time to think, he immediately raised his hand and unleashed his mind force on that shadow.
But the moment he raised his hand, that figure disappeared. Shortly thereafter, with a “Pop” sound, his huge strength knocked back that Esper to a tree trunk before coming to a halt.
That Esper fell down like a doll whose joint was broken. Then, his head fell down and stopped moving only after rolling several times on the ground.
“You monster, if you have the guts, come out and fight us face to face.” That twins called out, but with a slightly trembling voice, which revealed the fear in his heart.
Another twin also began to feel afraid. He cannot imagine such a creature actually exist in this world. Although all of these seemed very long, the opposite party actually took less than twenty seconds to dispatch three modified Espers. That unable-to-be-explained-by-common-sense terrifying speed has gone far beyond the power of Espers.
After their transformation, they turned from ordinary people into Espers with much greater power. Through continuous training and tests, he and his brother thought that, except for the people who were similarly transformed like them, no one can pose a threat to them. Those who previously bullied them now looked just like ants in front of them.
However, after seeing one Esper after another killed by that mysterious shadow in front of them, unprecedented fear filled their hearts. They have never felt the threat of death so vividly like now.
Just then, not far away from their left, several pitiful yelling sounds suddenly sounded, followed by a disorderly sound of gunfire.
Like the falling dominoes, the scream and the sound of gunfire continued to sound from their left to their right.
Under the shine of searchlights, the twins saw the surrounding special forces around them suddenly fell down, one by one.
Like a virus that can quickly spread through the air, more and more of their people inexplicably fell.
“Monster, there’s a monster!” Seeing this, the other men in black went crazy, some of them simply took their assault rifles and carelessly strafed their surroundings, hoping to drive away the invisible demon.
But even so, the rate of which the men in black inexplicably died did not lessen. Three minutes later, except for a few men in black who were shooting like crazy, the other men in black who surrounded Rei Li’s group can no longer get up.
The intense fear has destroyed the twin brothers’ autonomic nervous system. They can no longer keep their false calm, the two immediately ran outside.
But they just ran a few steps, a faint shadow suddenly appeared five to six meters in front of them.
By this time, the twins finally saw that person’s face. He was the middle-aged man who previously killed Robert.
Just earlier, they wanted to seize this man and slowly torture him to death. But now, when they saw him again, a surge of chill unconsciously surged in their hearts.
“Who, who exactly are you!” The elder twin closely looked at him.
“Didn’t you just say you want revenge? Now I am giving you a chance to try.” Lei Yin dismissively said.
The twin brothers looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly shouted, “Then go to hell.” At the same time, they both raised their hands.
Everything did not seem to change in the slightest, at least in the eyes of outsiders.
But if you look closely, you’ll find everything in front of the twin brothers seemed to stand still.
The grass on the ground did not swing along with the night breeze like before. The nearby branches and leaves seemed to be sealed by huge blocks of ice.
Seeing the middle-aged man did not move, the twin brothers slowly revealed a proud smile.
But soon, their smiles disappeared, because they saw the man who was supposed to be sealed by their telekinetic power suddenly took a step forward, then another, and another. Then, he slowly walked toward them.
Late at night, a medium-sized manned aircraft quietly flew over the Sea of Japan and head straight to the open sea.
At about three o’clock in the morning, the plane landed on the beach on a deserted island.
After the plane stopped, more than ten men in black leotards stepped down from the plane.
At this time, a thirty-year-old man who seemed to be the leader came down from the plane and immediately commanded his people to pull the plane into the woods to hide it.
Then the man said to his men with a sinking voice: “These few days might be a little hard on you. Now go to rest, we will continue again tomorrow. But remember, don’t make fire or lit up a light.”
“Yes.” Those men in black outfit answered in unison.
That man wanted to immediately go to that place, but he knew that night at subtropical jungle was very dangerous. Moreover, they have been on a plane for hours and already tired by now, so it was better to take a break.
The next morning, after eating something, Rei Li immediately went deep into the jungle with his men.
After walking for about two hours, they finally arrived at their destination.
Last time he came here was three months or so ago, the spot where they dug out the dirt was already overgrown with small trees and various kinds of weed.
Following the memory of the marks that they previously left, Rei Li finally managed to find that specific spot.
Unlike before, they did not need to bury the whole site again, and just need to dig deep enough to where the gap was.
Thus, starting from when they arrived that morning, Rei Li and his more than ten men began to dig the soil with digging tools as if they were miners.
In addition to the five surviving dark group members who previously came here, the rest were new dark group members who did not know what was buried underneath. Days and nights, under Rei Li’s command, they kept on doing the thing that was unfamiliar to them
—-
“Mr. Chen, everybody is ready and can start at any time.” A man in front of a middle-aged man said.
“Have the injured brothers got there?” Chang’an looked up and asked.
“Yes, they have arrived.”
“I know, I’ll go out.”
That member gave him a salute before he walked out of the room.
“Little Rei, don’t let something happen to you.” Chang’an’ pale face showed his anxious look.
Ever since they exchanged fires with those special forces, although they eventually won, their dark group members suffered heavy casualties. In the end, he decided to temporarily evacuate the remaining members away from Sweden.
With a sigh, Chang’an slowly stood up and walked out of the room.
—-
A week later, on the island, the more than ten people have dug a pit nearly thirty meters deep, eight meters long and ten meters wide. Approximately the size of a half basketball court.
Previously, they did not need to dig so wide, but due to Rei Li’s memory error, the digging location was not that accurate, so much so that they only found the gap after digging for more than five days.
Because of fear of being detected, Rei Li chose to rest at day and dig at night. Working under the dark environment was also one of the reasons for their slowness.
Looking at the seemingly bottomless gap, Rei Li suddenly had a disquieting thought.
Can I really use these things inside to avenge master?
Taking a deep breath, he slowly walked toward the gap.
Just as he was about two to three meters away from the gap, all of a sudden, gunfire can be heard from above. One of the bullets hit the ground in front of him.
Hearing the gunfire, the face of all the people in the pit immediately changed.
Looking up, they saw several heavily armed men in camouflaged fatigue stood near the edge of the pit.
Several dark group members wanted to pull out their guns, but Rei Li immediately shouted, “Nobody move!”
He knew that they could not survive a shootout standing in this narrow environment.
Rei Li then looked up and loudly said: “We surrender.”
After a while, someone up there loudly said through a loudspeaker: “Everyone put your weapons on the ground now. If you have any unusual move, we’ll immediately shoot.”
Rei Li said to the more than ten dark group members: “Do as they say, throw your guns on the ground.”
Everyone began to quietly take out their guns and threw them on the ground.
That man up there continued: “Now everyone climbs one by one.”
With ashen face, Rei Li walked to the rope ladder in front of him and then slowly climbed.
Seeing this, the rest of the dark group members had not choice but to follow, one by one.
After climbing out of the pit, Lei Yin saw more than a hundred guns, as well as searchlights, were aimed at him. He roughly calculated that they have at least a hundred people. Seeing their appearance, all of them should be well-trained soldiers.
“Put your hands up.” A man shouted to him.
Rei Li shrugged and put his hands above his head.
Suddenly, he found out that he cannot move his body as if being sealed by wax. This experience of unable to move his body was not the first time for him. Previously in Sweden when they exchanged fire with them, he had experienced this once. He immediately knew these people have at least one Esper among them.
“Done, you may cuff his hands.” At this time, a female voice suddenly sounded.
Rei Li could not help but surprise for a moment, Is that Esper a woman? Although he would like to see her, because the searchlights that were too powerful, he cannot clearly see ahead.
This time, a man came and cuffed his hands with handcuffs.
Just as the man was about to cuff the other dark group members, a young male voice said: “Add one more.”
That man added a pair of handcuffs on his wrists. After this, Rei Li found that his body can move again.
After everyone has been handcuffed, a 40-something man walked up to Rei Li with a smiling face and said: “If it weren’t for you, we really have no way to find this place. Moreover, you even helped us dug up the site, I really don’t know how to thank you.”
Rei Li said with a smile: “You’re welcome. As long as you no longer fart in front of me, I will be satisfied.”
