265 She Who Died 3 (2/2)
Fourth step, pray for the rescuers to come before it was too late!
Out of a sudden Steffy heard the actor cursing out, his face turning paler than usual. ”Damn!”
Feeling like she was discovered, she also went so pale. 'Was it me? But I haven't even accomplished step 2!!! Argh, is this for real? You must be kidding me?'
Her eyes almost bulging out, she looked around meekly. A second later, she realized that both men were looking at the direction of the open door and not her.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Looking closely, Chris was slightly in disbelief while the kid, Leo, gradually sported a mocking expression.The latter snorted, ”Wow, newbie, I like your sincerity. I can sense one of your cronies nearing this place! Hahahaha!”
With gnashed teeth, the man swore again and decisively pulled up a device out of nowhere. It seemed that decision was very wise because the boy suddenly threw something to their direction, another stuff that just appeared from thin air.
”I'm sorry! My hand slipped! Might be because I was disappointed at your sincerity. Hahahaha!”
While Steffy and the other girl had no idea what they were talking about, a dull noise of something metallic bouncing then rolling on the floor made way into their ears. Just when she wondering what was that and why the older lunatic embraced and shielded the pretty actress with his body, she heard a startling and deafening sound.
”BOOOOMMMM!”
”Ahhh!!!” Two sharp and ear-piercing scream echoed at the same time.
Steffy trembled after that thunderous explosion. Her eyes felt like they were burned by the light. Because she covered her ears late, she could still feel the echoes inflicting pain to her tingling eardrums.
”You're insane!” Chris reddish eyes glowed faintly, fury so obvious from his tone.
A couple of seconds later, continuous and unending sounds gunshots and explosions once again graced the only brightly lit room in the house. All of it were concentrated in Leo's spot. But of course many stray bullets come to the three others' direction albeit something invisible erected between the teenage boy and them stopped the attacks.
The two women couldn't stop trembling and their lips were almost white. They couldn't believe one day they would find themselves in a situation more ridiculous than horror movies. Where could you see such a sight where all sorts of explosives and ammos where flying everywhere with little to no gap?
The most bullsh*t part of this was not where the attacks came from but how the target, the teenage boy managed to dodge each and every one of the deadly attack. His movements as he danced with the bullets and blinding lights were like flowing water and floating clouds. There was a rare beauty in the way Leo dodge, help the unconscious Alda not die from the stray bullets, and laugh while at it.
But at the same time, it was a spinechiller.
When the floor and walls were cracking and almost on the verge of collapsing, the level 6 host was still perfectly fine. It was just so absurd and unscientific!
When Steffy could no longer believe she was still on mother Earth, finally the chilling downpour stopped.
”No more?” That question came from the alien boy. Steffy felt a chill in her heart seeing the laughing expression of that person.
No answer came from Chris. The man was more wary of the individual coming to this room. Temporary Leo would not be able to do anything to him and the girls since they were now inside a barrier. The retaliation was only for that sudden throwing of a bomb. And so he was more inclined to worry about the newcomer. 'This one is not under my mind control... That he bypassed the army meant it's another system user or a supporter?'
As for Leo, unmatched confidence overflowed from his body. After a perfect performance before a fellow cloneless immoral host, he smugly grinned at Chris, retaining that same smirk as he turned his head to the open door's direction.
Donning an arrogant face, he checked who the person he assumed Chris called up was. Then that smug expression got frozen in his face when he saw that it was not actually a single person like what his radar said.
'There are two? And my best friend did not notice one of them? How is that possible?'
The second person had yet to fully enter the place. Leo briefly glanced at Chris but the man also showed signs that he did not expect the person he would see.
Returning his gaze to the door, he unconsciously blinked. The system's voice rang in his brain then.
'... This... For real?'
All doubts were thrown to the backburner after seeing the face of other tall man under his thick jacket's hood.
When his senses perceived danger, he immediately activated Teleport like what the system advised. Who cares about a madwoman! He must leave now! Given everything he knew about the newcomer, why would he stay?
”Hehe bye bye, newbie. I'm in urgent need to pee. Till the next time!” Forcing out a carefree act, he waved a hand at the half-host who became so puzzled and dumbfounded by the turn of events.
Yet that proved fatal for Leo.
And he only discovered it when an amused baritone voice entered his ears.
”Who allowed you to leave, lunatic bomber?”
