Chapter 152: Doppelganger
Since he had just taken Viola to watch a movie in the cinema on the fourth floor not long ago, Li Chengqi recognized his location at a glance.
But after exiting the emergency exit on the second floor, it is impossible to run to the fourth floor, right?
Teleportation?
Looking around, it seemed that there were only the four of them and no one else. The girl from the milk tea shop who came in first was also missing.
"Does anyone know what's going on?"
"I don't know, that moment was too fast."
Lei Lei was too busy to leave the mall first. When she crossed the gate, she relaxed her vigilance for a moment and didn't notice what happened.
Li Chengqi took a few steps forward, holding on to the glass railing and looking down.
You could just look down the patio and see the gangster holding a gun below, as well as the gold shop he was smashing up.
It was not an illusion, they really ran from the second floor to the fourth floor.
Looking at Viola, the latter said:
"Your Majesty, I just felt a special power appear. I have never seen it before. It doesn't feel like magic."
If it’s not magic, then is it magic?
Lei Lei calmed down and said:
"It is possible to use spells to achieve similar effects, such as illusions or transformation. But I don't know how big the range is. It would be very difficult for people to cast large-scale spells. It’s difficult, I usually use magic weapons or something like that.”
"You can use magic weapons, but this kind of person will come and rob you with a gun?"
"It may be very complicated, or it may just be that he has something special on him. He doesn't even know it is a magic weapon. It's hard to judge for the time being."
Lei Lei said half a sentence. In her opinion, Li Chengqi was about the same.
At first glance, he looks like an ordinary person, but the huge spiritual energy around him cannot be faked. Either there is something wrong with him, or he has a special magic weapon.
You can't tell anything just by looking at it with the naked eye.
"Then is there any way you can let us go out first?"
"If I had my way I wouldn't be standing here."
This is true.
Li Chengqi thought about it and decided that he couldn't stay here because it was too conspicuous.
At this time, he heard a ding sound not far away. When he looked back, he happened to see the elevator door opening not far away.
Li Chengqi suddenly became nervous and did not say anything. He gestured to everyone to hide quickly.
The four people quickly turned around and hid behind a W-shaped decorative pillar. Soon they heard the sound of footsteps approaching from leather shoes on the floor tiles.
The three girls were hiding in the depression of the W-shaped pillar. Li Chengqi opened his arms and squeezed in. He could now be proud to say that he could hold three beauties and go shopping at one time. The only small problem was that he was not careful. It may not be good for your health...
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Li Chengqi quietly poked his eyes out from behind the pillar. He saw the gangster holding an AK and wearing a black hood walking in their direction step by step, looking left and right, as if checking to see if anyone was there.
This was too fast, obviously I saw him walking downstairs just now.
Maybe he has an accomplice dressed the same way?
Thinking of this, Li Chengqi quickly retracted his head when he saw that the other party was about to turn around.
He made a silencing gesture to the three girls hiding in the hollow, and pointed in the direction of the gangsters, signaling that someone was coming.
I can only hear the footsteps getting closer and closer, but I can't see anyone. This is very oppressive.
The most terrifying thing is that the pillar they took shelter in is not big. It is impossible for four people to hide in it at one time, especially Li Chengqi is very strong.
It's just a matter of angle that he hasn't been discovered now. When people get closer, they should be able to see Li Chengqi's shoulders. Apart from this pillar, there are no other suitable bunkers around for replacement. As soon as everyone goes out, they will be discovered immediately.
Li Chengqi was so anxious that he glanced left and right while thinking of a solution.
At this time, he noticed the Demon King's Ring on his finger.
The eagle eye vision of the Ring of Vision should be very useful. It would at least allow Li Chengqi to know how far away the opponent is from him and whether he is approaching.
So Li Chengqi quietly moved his fingers, turned the outward-facing ring in a circle, and held the golden cat's eye stone in his hand.
The next moment, he felt his field of vision quickly increase, from a normal level gaze to a bird's eye view. Now he could clearly see the gangster's movement trajectory.
But what was very strange was that when Li Chengqi used the Ring of Vision to look at the approaching gangster, he found that there seemed to be a faint halo around him, and the whole person seemed to be a bit phantom. In short, it gave people the feeling of not being an entity.
And on the ground not too far away from them, a row of footprints with a light blue light could be seen, which seemed to lead to the cinema.
This made Li Chengqi a little confused. This had never happened before.
Unlike when playing games, looking at this angle for a long time will make you dizzy. Therefore, Li Chengqi has not used the Ring of Vision since the bank incident. After all, there is no need to use it normally.
I remember that the introduction to the Demon King's Ring said that you need to collect 10 of them to unlock all its abilities. Perhaps because of the addition of the Ring of Power, does the Ring of Sight also have any new functions?
Yes or no, Li Chengqi didn't have time to think about it now. He stared at the gangster who was getting closer and closer. Seeing that he seemed to be going around the pillar where everyone was hiding from the left, Li Chengqi motioned to the three of them to hide. Make a sound. He turned off the effect of the Ring of Vision and quietly walked around from the right side of the pillar to the back of the gangster.
The distance was already very close, and the other party didn't even need to turn around. He could see Li Chengqi's sneaky look by tilting his head.
Fighting someone with a gun with bare hands has always been the last resort.
Li Chengqi stared at the gangster, bent down and gently lifted the decorative vase placed next to the pillar, then went up and dunked on the gangster's head.
The thick ceramic vase exploded on the gangster's head, and with a loud crash, the gangster immediately fell to the ground.
I mean, this should be considered self-defense, right?
These days, if a thief climbs a window and falls to his death, the victim has to pay compensation. Li Chengqi is a little worried about being sued.
But the next moment he saw that the gangster lying on the ground had a hazy halo all over his body. This light seemed to be able to decompose. In the blink of an eye, a big living person, including the clothes on his body and the gun in his hand, turned into one. The bright spot disappeared.
"This may be just a clone, not the original body."
After all, Lei Lei had the experience. She peeked her head from behind the pillar and said, "The trouble is, we can't tell who the clones are and how many clones there are."
Hearing what she said, Li Chengqi suddenly remembered that from the perspective of the Ring of Vision, he saw that this person was obviously insubstantial and not like a real person.
So, can the Ring of Vision tell who is the clone?
"Your Majesty, please let me go. Your knight will definitely complete the mission."
Viola picked up a mop that was thrown on the ground, and seemed to be planning to go up and give it a hard fight.
"Don't be in a hurry to make meritorious deeds!"
Once there are supernatural elements involved in this matter, it will not be within the jurisdiction of the general police and should be handled by Section 9.
Having said that, could this have something to do with what Qian Sen said before about the serial killer who committed many major crimes across the country?
I kind of want to call Qian Sen first, but now my phone has no signal.
Besides, now is not the time to worry about such details.
To stop Viola's plan to challenge the gangsters, Li Chengqi quickly waved to everyone:
"Come on, we have to change positions. The sound was too loud just now."
