I’m Not Shouldering This Blame

Chapter 7: Awaken

Views:

Seeing a group of people wearing masks coming out of the Pearl Hotel, they headed towards the Linjiang Bridge full of murderous intent. In front of the cracked floor-to-ceiling windows on the twelfth floor of an office building next to him, Jack Red put down his binoculars and let out a mocking laugh: "These Chinese!"

He stretched, a backpack full of cans and water beside him.

"Hackers stole their social group information, the leader does have some tricks." Jack nibbled at the potato chips and said to himself, "Use homemade explosives as a contact signal to intimidate and hide in the corner of the city this night. The original characters, I am afraid it will have the opposite effect."

Jack took out a pen and sketched something that only he could understand on the notebook booklet that he carried with him. He couldn't stop complaining: "The author is too casual, and the information on the Chinese side is written a little bit. Not detailed."

He made a cross with the red pen on the date of November 7th, then slid the nib down and made a circle here on the 18th.

"Li Fei's schedule... On the 18th, there is a play to start. Today is the famous director's birthday PATY, which has nothing to do with Huaicheng." Jack recalled the documents obtained from Star Entertainment Media Company.

The two large-scale awakenings of China clearly recorded in the original work were both in Huaicheng.

—Awakened people with potential have entered the abandoned world.

It sounds exaggerated, but a city has a population of one million and no more than a hundred awakened people. It is unknown how many of them will survive. These people are still scattered in every corner of the city, and it is an impossible task to find them all.

Those who made an appointment to meet at the Pearl Hotel were actually from all over the country, and today was their meeting day, and to enter the world of abandonment.

In a book, it is impossible to describe in detail the awakening opportunities of each character.

If outsiders want to obtain this ability, they can only choose the most reliable and sure date.

Putting the notepad back in his pocket, Jack Red looked at the figures who had gone away, and regretted again: "If it weren't for China's strict management of guns—"

Tonight's bloodshed will be even more intense.

The more serious the internal friction on China's side, the more beneficial it is to them.

"what?"

Jack accidentally noticed a figure shaking in the stairwell window on the fourteenth floor of the Pearl Hotel.

He quickly picked up the binoculars. Someone turned off the lights in the stairwell of the hotel. Jack could only see a silhouette by the window, as if he was walking side by side with people, very close.

It stands to reason that it is very difficult to recognize who it is, but this passerby, Jack has been thinking about it countless times since he got the photo, and he has gone through it a few times. It can be said that he already has the skills of a senior paparazzi in the entertainment industry. Half a face will give you the answer.

"Li Fei?"

Why is he here? Jack was startled, and the hand holding the telescope trembled.

Li Fei suddenly turned his head here as if he felt something.

Seeing those eyes in the binoculars, Jack subconsciously took three steps back, stuck it to the wall of the room, turned off the light with a snap, grabbed the backpack on the ground, and rushed out without looking back.

His reaction was so fast that Li Fei only saw a figure flashing at the window of a certain floor opposite, followed by the lights going out.

"… "

At such a distance, Li Fei didn't have a telescope in his hand, so at best he could see a figure, but he couldn't see what he looked like. The other party actually turned off the light, and would rather expose the fact that "there are living people here" and "it's just peeping" before running away, which made Li Fei stunned for a few seconds.

With the weight on his hand, Geng Tian, who Li Fei was supporting, couldn't support it, and fell down staggeringly.

Although Li Fei takes bodyguards wherever he goes, this is what he needs in his profession. As a movie star who can receive threatening letters every month, there are countless tail walkers, and the collar of his shirt was dragged away by fans on a certain occasion. Li Fei is not one of those young boys in the entertainment industry who are feminine and will be paralyzed after running 800 meters. Half-supporting and half-supporting Geng Tian downstairs was not a problem for him.

What gave him a headache was Geng Tian's symptoms.

Geng Tian's forehead had visible veins throbbing. If it wasn't for Li Fei's quick stop just now, Geng Tian might have slammed his head into the wall, showing how badly he was in pain.

When the thugs left the hotel, there was a lot of noise, and Li Fei also saw it by the window in the stairwell.

The prying eyes suddenly appeared on the opposite side, making Li Fei's doubts superimposed again: the bandits who searched the floor wore masks and looked like they were afraid that others would see their faces. This might be because they had never seen each other, so they didn't trust each other. But what is the guy on the other side afraid of

Jack Red's heart was beating so fast that it jumped out of his throat.

He dared to drive a speeding car, and he also had the idea of murdering actor Li Fei, but that was all in the real world, before the plot started.

He never dared to face Li Fei in the abandoned world. In this strange world, the power of supernatural powers was ten times that of reality, and danger would stimulate Li Fei to directly awaken supernatural powers. Li Fei is S-rank, and if he wants to kill him, he can only plan ahead, or find a way to prevent him from getting powers.

If there is no ability user who is also S-rank, if he wants to hit Li Fei's idea, he will die simply and neatly.

This is a lesson of blood and tears drawn from the death of the original supporting characters.

"Fuck!" After Jack escaped from the building where he was hiding, he couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart. Obviously Li Fei was not involved in a car accident, and he didn't have a trip to Huai City on his itinerary. How could anyone show up here

Is this the power of the plot

In the original book, Li Fei was still lying in the hospital, and Huaicheng's mass awakening had nothing to do with him.

Jack was in a cold sweat, the task was broken, and it was trivial to be laughed at by his friends after returning to China. Li Fei was a very important villain in the original book. He was alive, and many characters had to die.

"boom!"

There was another huge explosion from the Pearl Hotel.

Jack's neck stiffened, and he slowly turned his head to look at the tall building illuminated by the fire—

The explosion occurred on the first floor, and it looked like it should have been the explosives that the masked thugs had placed before they evacuated, so as to destroy the traces they left in the hotel lobby.

The Abandoned World's time is stagnant, but it's okay if you have to move the hands, reverse the hourglass, or press a countdown timer to jump, because it's time itself that's stagnant, and there's no point in using dead objects.

Even taking the subway in China requires security checks, and explosives are even more difficult to deal with. Even Jack did not expect that the group of lunatics prepared so much.

The fire soared into the sky, and the blast wave blew up everything on the second floor of the hotel. Following the leakage of natural gas in the pipeline, subsequent explosions occurred one after another, and the affected floors became wider and wider.

Jack looked dull, slowly raised his hand, and covered his face in pain.

- If it was someone else at the Pearl Hotel, he would think that guy was dead, but Li Fei! Li Fei!

This man who awakened his powers in the original book because of a car accident exploded...

The flames almost covered the tenth floor of the Pearl Hotel, but there was no thick smoke coming out, and the sound of the explosion seemed to have suddenly stopped, just like the scene of the explosion in a movie being frozen, only the flames rolled up by the air waves churned silently, scrambling for each other. gushing from every floor of the hotel.

They squeezed each other, forming a hideous shape.

During the explosion, the air waves and dust will form a strange appearance. They are distorted by the high temperature. In the eyes of human beings, they are like demons that do not exist in the world. Now these demons seem to be forcibly driven out by a force and surround the hotel building.

Jack's brown pupils shrank and he ran.

The firelight lit up half of the sky, and the movement was so great that even Elder Cheng in the clinic noticed it, and when he opened the curtains, he was so startled that he fell on his back and sat on the chair.

Jian Hua looked at the Pearl Hotel with a complicated look.

Under the darkness of the night, it was like a huge upside-down torch. Jian Hua felt his mind throbbing uncontrollably, like a lion awakened by other beasts, and couldn't wait to let out an angry roar.

Everything in the clinic shook with a thud.

"Squat down!" Cheng Lao was so frightened that he grabbed Jian Hua and wanted to hide behind the cabinet.

It's a very dangerous act to stand at the window when you see the explosion fire. The shock wave of the air wave is slower than the fire and the sound. It will shatter the glass and turn into countless fragments and fly like bullets.

As a result, as soon as he touched Jian Hua, Cheng Lao felt a severe headache. In his panic, he didn't have time to hide, and suddenly the cabinet slid over by himself, blocking the window tightly.

Jian Hua was very conscious, and after forcibly suppressing the restless power, he quickly moved to Elder Cheng's side.

- That power, there is a power in the Pearl Hotel that is slowly awakening, Jian Hua feels that the speed of the blood flow between his breaths is abnormal, and he seems to want to feel the existence closer and see what it is.

Old Cheng screamed in pain, pulling back Jian Hua's trance.

The old man was sweating profusely, and he held Jian Hua's palm as if he was scooping it out of water. Jian Hua hurriedly checked Cheng Lao's situation, ignoring the feeling that his supernatural powers echoed the power in the distance just now.

In this city, the panic-stricken awakened people hiding like them, the group of people who gathered on the Linjiang Bridge to discuss, and the masked thugs who were full of murderous intent and prepared to go to the Linjiang Bridge, all raised their heads in amazement and looked into the distance. The firelight rose silently at the Pearl Hotel.

Circles of flames circled upwards, straight into the night sky.

The Pearl Hotel has fifty-eight floors, and now it looks like a solitary tower in hell where the flame demons are entrenched, and it is like the flames illuminate all the demons. They flee in a hurry, but are bound around the solitary tower.

The man in the black jacket was the first to react. He even forgot to take the voice changer and exclaimed, "No! It's the awakening of a high-level power user!"

Some people were trembling, some were greedy, and some people were very clever, thinking about it: they put the explosives in the Pearl Hotel, obviously no one has searched, where did this high-level ability user appear? of

"Run! Awakening will break the balance, and the abandoned world is about to disappear!"

The thugs wearing masks and holding machetes scattered in a hurry, and ran to different streets one after another, looking for places they thought were hidden, and took off the masks, murder weapons, gloves, and coats to hide.

The flames surrounding the Pearl Hotel suddenly lit up, and then it shattered like a foam, turning into a spot of light like broken gold. At the same time, it was swallowed up by a huge force, leaving only the outer wall of the hotel that was smoked by flames.

The tall buildings did not collapse, and a devastating catastrophe disappeared.

There is a ripple of power visible to the naked eye, with the Pearl Hotel as the center, rapidly expanding to the entire city.

Pedestrians appear on the street, seconds begin to move, and the hustle and bustle of the city returns—

"what!"

People were terrified, how could the Pearl Hotel turn black in the blink of an eye? The streets are full of shards of glass and broken decorations.

The receptionist of the hotel was sitting in the rubble with one foot limp.

The entire lobby became a smoky garbage dump, not to mention the table where she worked, even the ceiling was gone.
