The masked man’s speed was not slow. As his right hand struck out in a claw, Ah Qiang, standing beside Li Chonglou, couldn’t even see his movements. What’s more, he attacked with a lethal move, aiming straight for the man’s heart.
However, there was a clear gap in their strength. Before the masked man’s hand could touch his heart, it was firmly gripped by a large hand.
"You? You need to practice for a few more decades."
The man sneered dismissively, then exerted force on the hand he held, yanking the masked man to the side. Immediately after, his knee slammed heavily into the man’s abdomen.
The masked man let out a muffled groan. Before he could even react, the man twisted his hand around, pinning him to the ground. A chop to the neck followed, and the masked man instantly lost consciousness.
Long Fei walked over slowly, as if accustomed to such scenes.
"Someone from Black Rock?"
The man nodded. "It should be. In Shangjing, only Black Rock uses hidden weapons."
"Xiao Yu. Give him the pill."
The man nodded and took out a yellow pill from his waist.
Li Chonglou frowned slightly as he saw this. Then, he watched as the man tore off the masked man's face covering and skillfully stuffed the pill into his mouth.
After finishing, the man woke the masked man up.
"My, my internal energy, where has it gone?"
As soon as he woke up, he couldn't help but exclaim in panic. But the man didn't answer. Instead, he turned to Ah Qiang and said, "This one's yours."
Ah Qiang understood and immediately took off a pair of handcuffs from his waist, cuffing the masked man's hands. The man tried to resist, but he found that not only had his internal energy vanished, but his entire body felt weak, even weaker than an ordinary person!
"Who are you! What did you do to me!"
After tearing off the mask, the man appeared to be only in his early thirties. He had an ordinary appearance, the kind of person who would disappear in a crowd.
"You can call me Brother Snake. We can talk at the police station. Just behave yourself for now."
Wang She said indifferently and paid him no further attention.
Upon hearing the name Brother Snake, the man’s expression changed dramatically. He had clearly heard the moniker before. He immediately stopped struggling and lowered his head, allowing Ah Qiang to escort him away.
"Uh, Senior Brother Snake, do we need to take him out first?"
"No need. There are plenty more coming."
It was Long Fei who answered Ah Qiang. The group then continued their march into the airport.
The entire airport had five main corridors. Three of them led to three exits, while the other two intertwined, forming a loop around the entire airport.
The group was currently at the intersection of these five main corridors.
Long Fei directly chose the middle one that ran through the airport and led into the waiting area.
According to the intelligence, the attack had originated from there, and the secret passage dug by Green Bull was also closest to that location.
Due to the vast size of this international airport and the previous shortage of police personnel, many passengers were still scattered throughout.
The bodies of people killed by Green Bull earlier could be seen almost every hundred meters, which had also frightened some passengers into hiding.
In a restroom, six passengers were huddled in two stalls of the women’s restroom.
"Uncle, why don't we go out and see? Maybe the police have arrived?"
"If you want to see, then go by yourself. But if you leave, don't come back here! Otherwise, we won't be uncle and nephew anymore!"
Among these five people were an uncle and nephew, the elder in his fifties, and the younger in his twenties. They had both witnessed Green Bull killing people. In their panic at the time, they had hidden here and hadn't left for fear that the attacker was still outside.
At this moment, a male voice from a nearby stall also chimed in.
"I advise you not to go out. Even mobile signals are being jammed. This is clearly a terrorist attack!"
This voice also elicited reactions from others.
"Shh! Be careful, everyone. If we're discovered, it'll be over!"
"But we've been hiding for so long. There's no movement outside, maybe they've already left?"
"If you're not afraid of dying, go out yourself?"
"That's alright then, I'd rather wait for the police."
"Tch."
Just then, a slightly youthful female voice, laced with nervousness, spoke, "Are you guys telling the truth? Is someone really killing people outside?"
"Hmm? Didn't you see it before hiding here?"
"Well, I was just using the restroom here..."
The restroom fell silent.
In the innermost stall, the uncle and nephew heard this and their faces flushed with embarrassment.
Although the airport was large, there weren't many places to hide. At that time, the closest place they could reach was this restroom, and in their panic, they had rushed in.
"Third Uncle, perhaps we should go out. This is the women's restroom..."
Er Gou said hesitantly.
"The women's restroom isn't ideal, indeed. It's my fault for not looking properly when I came in."
Er Gou's uncle sighed.
Both of them had just come from the countryside, intending to go to a relative’s. They hadn't expected to encounter such a situation right after disembarking.
The uncle, who had been adamant about not leaving, began to waver upon hearing Er Gou’s words. According to village tradition, a man hiding in a women’s restroom would deplete his yang energy.
Not to mention, there was a girl nearby.
After much deliberation, the uncle finally agreed to Er Gou's suggestion.
"But you stay here first, I'll go out and see what the situation is."
"No, Third Uncle, you stay here. I'm young and can run fast, let me go."
"How can that be? I'm your uncle! If something happens to you, how can I return home with honor?"
Just as they were arguing again, a voice suddenly came from a stall two compartments away.
"Let the young one go. They're faster and react quicker."
The expressions of both men froze. They exchanged a look, thinking inwardly, "What's it to you?"
However, with someone’s persuasion, the uncle finally agreed to Er Gou’s choice.
"Be careful."
Er Gou nodded seriously, then opened the restroom door and cautiously crept outside.
As soon as he stepped out of the restroom, a gap appeared in the stall behind him, and three heads poked out.
"Should we go and see too?"
"Let's not. It's rare for someone to scout ahead. Let's see how things unfold first."
The three were middle-aged men, all dressed in suits.
Their words drew dissatisfaction from the uncle.
"I say, you fellows are too ungenerous. My nephew is only twenty years old. If anything were to happen to him, would your conscience be clear?"
"Elder brother, there’s no need for so many people to go out for something like this. Besides, it wasn't us who asked your nephew to go."
"Shh, stop talking, everyone be quiet!"
One of them hissed, and everyone fell silent.
What they didn't know was that not long after Er Gou left the restroom, he was suddenly grabbed by a large hand on his head.
