Chapter 48: Tolerable and Unbearable
Li Chengqi obviously has no experience in being a hostage (generally, he does not have this kind of experience), but he squatted on the spot facing the wall, which did not attract any danger. Too much attention from bandits.
But to be fair, everything just happened so fast that Li Chengqi was in a daze and didn't even see how many robbers there were.
What's more, these guys were holding guns and their backs were turned, so they really felt very insecure.
Fortunately, the Demon King's Ring was regarded as a worthless thing and was not taken away. Li Chengqi quietly turned the ring in a circle and held the opal part in the palm of his hand.
In an instant, his vision flew out of his body and stretched upward. This feeling was very similar to the Eagle Vision in an Assassin's Creed.
He could clearly see that there were six robbers in total, two on guard looking outside the bank, two looking at the hostages facing the wall, and two threatening the bank staff.
As soon as I thought about it, I zoomed in a little bit, and I could clearly see that the gun in the robber's hand had a plastic feel, and it really looked like a model.
But there was a layer of lime on the floor of the bank. Judging from the loud noise just now, the guns in the hands of these guys were probably modified model guns.
It's definitely not as reliable as a real gun, but killing a lot of people is definitely not a problem.
Then Li Chengqi saw one of the men who threatened the bank employees walking towards the employee entrance to the counter. However, he and his accomplices did not threaten the people inside to open the door. Instead, they took out a key from their trouser pockets.
Do these guys think that the keys they are assigned can open the bank door?
Although the bank door looks similar to the security door in ordinary homes, the door is customized from the door panel to the lock cylinder, and the difficulty of unlocking is not the same as the security door in ordinary people's homes.
Li Chengqi originally thought that the guy would be angry because he couldn't open the door. Who knew that he just inserted the key and turned it, and the door opened with a click.
Not only that, the second door inside also opened easily. The robber easily entered the bank and took out a large woven bag for the bank staff to put money in.
For the sake of security, the two doors to the backstage of the bank will not be opened at the same time, and of course not only one key will be used.
Where did these people get the keys? Is there a mole inside the bank?
To be honest, it is really difficult for these people to rob a small branch.
Banks don't prepare much cash, let alone this small branch. If you put it all in, you may not even have 100,000.
With just such a small amount of money, these people risked being shot to do it...
Brother, you can earn more than this by moving bricks at a construction site, right?
Li Chengqi could only complain about these words in his heart, feeling that if he spoke directly, he would be shot.
While looking up and down from the perspective of the Demon King's Ring, Li Chengqi felt someone grabbing his hand, and judging from the touch, it was a woman's hand.
Then he heard:
"Brother, I'm scared."
There was a little tremor in the sweet voice, it was probably Leilei.
From this perspective, Li Chengqi's other feelings were normal, except for the sight of flying up to the sky and looking down.
When a little girl came to the bank and met a group of vicious robbers, there was only one person whom she barely knew, so of course she would rely on him, and Li Chengqi understood very well.
But Lei Lei thought, 'I've worked so hard, you have to show your appreciation.'
For example, he might suddenly show off his power and knock down several robbers with magic or magical powers, or he could take advantage of them and kick them out with three punches and two kicks.
Lei Lei just wanted Li Chengqi to take action. No matter how well he disguised himself, he would definitely reveal some clues when he took action.
Then she heard Li Chengqi whisper:
"Don't worry, don't be afraid. Brother is here. You'll be safe when the police arrive."
Lei Lei thought for a moment.
No, brother, can you bear this?
This is a weak woman expressing fear. Are you just going to send me away like this?
Go ahead and kill them all!
Of course, it is impossible for Lei Lei to say what she is thinking.
The man secretly monitoring the two of them not far away was actually praying in his heart.
Pray that the police will come soon, and that no one will take action. The aftermath will be very troublesome. Many of his colleagues have become stronger and bald, but he still wants to keep some hair and style it.
So of these three people, one was really too scared to move, one was pretending to be scared and waiting to move, and the other was begging the first two not to move.
Only the weak robbers continued their robbery plan without knowing anything.
Look at this mess.
At this moment, a piercing siren sounded outside the bank. Although it had not yet reached the bank entrance, it was probably coming soon.
The robber in the bank immediately shouted to the staff: "Did you call the police?"
The little cashier girl was almost scared to tears and just kept shaking her head.
"The police are here too fast! Leave them alone and put down the rolling shutter door outside!"
The bank has a transparent glass wall. If the rolling shutter door is not lowered, the police can clearly see where the robbers are standing. Then it is estimated that these guys will be shot dead on the spot by the police sniper team in a few minutes.
It seems that the robbers still have some brains, but the question is how do they plan to escape?
Should we really hope that no one in the bank calls the police?
Flustered, Li Chengqi was probably observing the show at this time. After all, the robbers only wanted money, and as long as he was honest, he should not be shot.
But if nothing else, that's impossible.
At this moment, a baby's cry broke the silence in the bank. It may be that the siren outside was too loud and woke up the child. Through the perspective of the Demon King's Ring, Li Chengqi could clearly see a young mother dragging a stroller in front of him to the left. When he heard the child crying, he quickly held it in his arms to comfort her.
But the child just refused to give him face. No matter how he comforted him, it was of no use. Instead, he cried louder and louder.
"People inside, listen, you have been surrounded, immediately put down your weapons and surrender, and seek leniency!"
At this time, the sound of police shouting through loudspeakers came from outside the bank. Not to mention the effect on the robbers, the children's cries became louder.
"This little brat is giving me a headache from crying! Shut up!"
One of the robbers walked over and loaded his pistol with a click. Now the young mother who was coaxing her child started to cry.
"Sister, let me try."
At the critical moment, Lei Lei raised her hands and stood up. Seeing that the robber made no further move, she took a step forward and picked up the child.
Miraculously, the baby stopped crying when he was in her arms, which made everyone sigh in relief.
It's not that she has any unique skills in coaxing children, it's just that when she took the child, she quietly transferred a righteous and peaceful magic power into the child's body to help calm the child's mind.
At this time, the robber carrying the money bag also came out from the backstage of the bank, and drove the staff out with him.
"What do we do now?"
"Get a hostage to take away and find someone who can handle it."
The robbers discussed it and looked at Lei Lei and the child she was holding.
Compared with adults like Li Chengqi, high school girls and a baby are obviously easier to manipulate, and using them as shields makes the police more cautious.
"Give me the child and come with us!"
Before Lei Lei could say anything, the child's mother collapsed.
"The child is only two years old! Please don't take him away!"
"Let go! Otherwise I'll shoot!"
The child's mother and the robber got into a fight, and she was right next to Li Chengqi where he turned his head.
Through the Demon King's Ring, Li Chengqi could clearly see that the robber had put his finger on the trigger, and his eyelids were shaking, as if he couldn't help but explode.
Damn it, it’s unbearable!
Li Chengqi interrupted the effect of the Demon King's Ring and turned around. The robber who didn't expect Li Chengqi to suddenly jump out was caught by him.
Perhaps it had something to do with adrenaline. Li Chengqi felt that he was stronger than usual, so he grabbed the robber's hands and lifted them up.
——Bang!
There was a loud noise, and the gun in the robber's hand fired. The bullet hit the ceiling, and a layer of lime fell down.
The other robbers also aimed their guns at Li Chengqi, who was fighting with his accomplices, but because the accomplices were too close, they did not shoot.
Li Chengqi seized the opportunity and kicked the robber in the stomach with all his strength.
He is just an ordinary person. In addition to knowing Wang Baquan, don't expect him to have any fighting experience.
Therefore, this kick can be said to be a misjudgment. Without the restraint of his accomplices, the robbers can certainly open fire with confidence.
Li Chengqi only regretted the kick. When he saw that their guns were pointed at him, he felt like the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.
Fortunately, Li Chengqi was not the kind of person who would freeze when in danger. He rushed out with his numb scalp, and then followed a sliding shovel and hid behind the central column of the bank.
As he was running away, he could clearly hear a series of bang-bang-bang bangs, and he could feel the wind pressure left by the bullets as they passed over his skin. Even Li Chengqi himself didn't know if he had been hit. Anyway, I didn’t feel any pain.
Naturally, the hostages screamed repeatedly. While the robbers' attention was focused on Li Chengqi, the man responsible for monitoring him and Lei Lei also jumped up at the same time, kicking the nearest robber over with a sweeping kick. On the ground, he then went up and punched the other robber in the nose.
Of course, the gun is fast from seven steps, and the gun is accurate and fast within seven steps. One person can beat six of them, unless he is the protagonist from a Hollywood blockbuster.
Just after knocking down the second one, the other four people realized that there was a sneak attack from behind.
But at this time, the police outside heard gunshots and were worried about the safety of the hostages. A large group of special policemen with shields rushed in. As soon as the robber heard the sound of breaking the door, he turned around, and then there was intensive gunfire, and the robber fell to the ground.
It sounds troublesome to say, but in fact it all happened in a few seconds. When the special police rushed in, Li Chengqi hid behind the pillar for less than two seconds.
When I quietly peeked my head out from behind the pillar, I saw a group of hostages crouching with their heads covered, as well as a large number of special police officers checking the robbers' vital signs.
Li Chengqi gave a solid sigh, but there was a new question.
He wanted to go to the toilet...
That's called a fear.
