Super Detective in the Fictional World - Chapter 555

Chapter 555 Last Wave, All Down?

Luke chuckled.

Including the brawny man who was clearly a superhuman, he had killed eight of the criminals.

There were still 27 criminals outside, but Selina could still manage to fend them off.

Sure enough, the boost which Gold Nugget gave her was truly impressive.

As he thought that, Luke ran faster and faster until he almost turned into a hazy shadow.

The moment he broke out of the hallway, he opened fire with the Glock that he was holding.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! As Luke moved rapidly, three criminals who had been hiding safely entered his firing range and were shot. They screamed and fell.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Luke’s gun was as steady as ever. He moved as light as a shadow, almost as if he were floating over the floor. He ran a circle around the criminals and shot down another three criminals who were firing at Selina and the other guards. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Luke finally emptied his clip, but only one criminal fell this time. He missed the last two targets.

It was indeed too challenging to hit nine targets in two seconds while running. Besides, those criminals were mostly hiding behind cover instead of shooting back at Luke out in the open like idiots.

Luke had only relied on his swift movements to bring them into his firing range before they could react.

Even so, the pressure on Stark’s security and the police was greatly reduced.

Luke slipped behind a marble pillar. Leaning against it, he released the empty clip in the gun with his right hand while he took out a new clip with his left hand.

“Thirteen enemies left. They’re to your eleven, twelve, one and two o’clock,” Selina warned him quickly.

The marble pillar shook a little as marble fragments were scattered everywhere.

Quickly reloading the gun, Luke said, “Not bad. You took down seven of them?”

Selina said, “I only killed four.”

Luke said, “Then shall we take all of them down in one last wave?”

“Okay! You take care of the eight at eleven and twelve o’clock, and I’ll deal with the five at one and two o’clock,” said Selina.

Luke said, “On my mark: three, two, one!” The moment he said “one,” he ran out from the left side of the pillar. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

He was instantly met with a barrage of bullets.

But the criminals couldn’t keep up with Luke’s speed.

Running sideway with short, quick steps, Luke held his gun with both hands. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Two of the three criminals who craned their necks at eleven o’clock were shot in the head, and the last one in his chest. He screamed and fell.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Almost at the same time, gunshots burst out on Selina’s side too. The three criminals at two o’clock screamed and fell, two shot in the stomach and one in the arm.

Distracted by Luke’s attack, the criminals had given Selina enough time to aim and shoot them.

If it had been earlier, they wouldn’t have made such a silly mistake. At the very least, some of them would’ve kept up the gunfire to suppress the people at the entrance.

But Luke’s marksmanship was too terrifying.

He had killed almost a third of the criminals in the lobby in twenty seconds. None of the survivors dared to trust their backs to their partners without worry.

In comparison, the twenty Stark security guards and the police officers only killed about seven of them. Those people were far less of a threat.

But now, they were in a panic; dammit, it seemed there was a skilled shooter at the entrance as well!

Luke and Selina didn’t ask for the cooperation of the other police officers and the security guards, who were almost crying under the onslaught. Selina would rather not waste her time.

Thus, just she and Luke fired fiercely at the criminals in the center of the lobby.

In their panic, the criminals made even more blunders. Some turned around to guard against Selina at the entrance, while the rest continued firing at Luke.

Up against just five men, Luke felt practically no pressure at all.

It wasn’t like earlier, when ten to twenty rifles had been firing at him.

Running with short steps, he held his gun with both hands and pulled the trigger unhurriedly.

Bang! Bang!

The two nearest criminals were shot in the head.

Bang! Bang! One of the two criminals at twelve o’clock clutched his neck and fell, and the other was shot in the chest.

Bang! Bang!

The criminal who had crouched down to reload at one o’clock was shot in the back of his head. He instantly toppled to the side.

Selina complained, “shit. You stole my kill.”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The last criminal at two o’clock was shot five times in one second. Blood sprayed from him as he fell on his knees with wide eyes.

Selina, who was angry that Luke stole her kill, emptied her remaining bullets into the last criminal, riddling him with holes.

It was a very brief confrontation.

From the moment Luke charged out of the hallway to him reloading behind the pillar, and to their teamwork in cleaning up the remaining criminals, it had only taken one minute.

The police officers and security guards were busy reloading and calling for backup, when they suddenly realized that the gunshots had stopped.

Luke hid behind another pillar and said to Selina, “Tell them to hold their fire. I need to take care of the bomb.”

Selina then shouted at Stark’s security and the police officers not far away as she gestured with both hands, “Cease fire! Cease fire! Lower your weapons! Lower your weapons! The department’s bomb specialist needs to move the suspected explosives as soon as possible!”

On the other side, Luke emerged from behind the pillar.

He was fast but not hasty as he moved. He kicked a criminal who was trying to reach for his gun despite a wounded shoulder right in the face and sent him flying. Then, Luke finally crouched down next to the bodies of two criminals and carefully examined the bags on them.

A moment later, he took the two big bags off the bodies and quickly slipped into the hallway behind them.

When Luke stepped out, several security guards almost aimed their guns at him, but Selina instantly yelled at them to stop.

They looked at Luke again, only to see that although he was wearing a black mask and sunglasses, he had a police badge, and none of the criminals had masks on.

Even so, when Luke kicked away the wounded criminal, a number of the security guards were about to raise their guns again, when they suddenly realized, Wait, he kicked a criminal!

It wasn’t until Luke ran off with the two bags that they looked at Selina suspiciously. “Detective, are all your bomb specialists so… gutsy?”

If they hadn’t been saved by Luke just now, they would’ve used another adjective. They had never seen a bomb specialist take the bomb away themselves. That was practically suicidal.

Selina said calmly, “It’s fine, he’s a professional. Alright, send the injured to the hospital and evacuate the civilians in the lobby ASAP. Lock this place down and make sure that nobody enters in case there are remaining criminals in the building.”
