Chapter 225 – Dodging bullets (1/2)

School building.

Level one, main lobby.

The moment Dong Xuebing entered the school building, the doors slammed shut behind him. He turned around and saw a skinny escapee locking the doors. After locking it, he searched Dong Xuebing’s body for weapons and handcuff keys. He pushed Dong Xuebing from his back to make up walk up the stairs. Dong Xuebing did not say a word and was looking at his surroundings through the corner of his eyes.

A tall and a short escapee were waiting for Dong Xuebing on the second floor.

“This is the government official? Why is he so young? Is he a government official?”

“He should not be fake. Old Xu had heard the people out there calling him as Chief Dong.”

“He is in his twenties and had become a Chief with the Ministry of Education? This young man should have some connections among the higher-ups. Our escape should be smooth.”

“Xiao Wang, bring him into the room and lock him up with the rest. You and Xiao Zhou will watch them closely and don’t let anyone of them escape.”

The skinny convict who had escorted Dong Xuebing upstairs nodded. He walked forward a few steps and opened the door to a classroom, with a sign ‘Year 5, Class 2’ hanging above it. He pushed Dong Xuebing inside, and he tripped and knocked into a desk. He held his stomach in pain and looked around. A few people were huddling in a corner. Three students, around ten years old, two female teachers, and a male teacher, were squatting there.

The skinny convict kicked Dong Xuebing and waved the knife in his hand. “Squat over there, and don’t move!”

Another convict entered the classroom. He was holding a police pistol and was there to guard the hostages with the skinny convict.

The few kids were crying and huddling around the teachers. The female teachers’ hands were tied using transparent tapes. The male teacher had his hands tied to a few desks with ropes. Dong Xuebing walked over to the hostages and sat down with them. He looked around, and the convict with the gun was standing at the far corner of the classroom. He was holding his gun tightly, preparing to shoot when anything happens. The skinny convict with the knife was walking around the classroom anxiously. Every once in awhile, he will peep outside at the armed police officers through the curtains.

Dong Xuebing asked softly. “Are you all the only hostages? Are there any more hostages?”

The male teacher was still composed, and only his hands were shaking. “Those criminals rushed in with guns and immediately tied us up. I am not sure if the rest of the teachers and students had escaped.”

Another female teacher cried and said. “Teacher Chen should be around. I heard her screaming earlier. She should be in another classroom.”

Are the hostages not held in the same place? Dong Xuebing frowned. The situation is worse than he expected.

The fat convict with the gun, point towards Dong Xuebing’s direction. “Stop talking among yourselves! Do you want to be killed?! Ah?! Shut up!”

The skinny convict took a glance at the hostages and asked. “Brother Pang, do you think we can escape?”

“Of course!” The fat convict spat on the ground. “We have so many hostages, and I don’t believe the Police will dare to do anything to us. If they don’t let us go, we will kill the kids first!”

The few children heard him and started crying louder.

The fat convict got angry and raised his gun. “Stop crying, or I will kill all of you! Shut up! All of you shut up!

A female teacher panicked and quickly pulled the few students nearer to her. She tried to stop them from crying, but the students were too young. Only one boy cried softer, and another student cried louder. The fat and skinny convicts frowned and cursed at them. They couldn’t be bothered with the children and were whispering to each other softly.

Dong Xuebing took this opportunity to whisper to the teachers. “We don’t have time. In a while, once I move, all of you get onto the ground.”

The male teacher was shocked. “There are too many of them, and they still have guns. You…”

The female teacher also panics. “Young man, you must not be rash.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “We cannot sit around and wait. Just do what I said. Try to press the students down on the floor.”

Another female teacher with long hair was shocked. “You are not the Deputy Chief of the Ministry of Education? You are…”

“I am Dong Xuebing.”

The long hair teacher gasped. “You are that Chief Xiao Dong? That Chief Dong?” The other two teachers looked at each other. Both of them had heard of Dong Xuebing before. In that instance, all the teachers saw a glimpse of hope.

Suddenly, the classroom’s door opened, and a pale looking man entered, dragging a woman. The woman was not wearing any pants.

The long hair teacher gasped. “Teacher Chen!”

“Teacher Chen!” The male teacher clenched his fist tightly.

Teacher Chen, who was not wearing anything below her waist, was thrown onto the floor. She laid there, staring at the ceiling and was not moving. Tears were flowing from her listless eyes. That pale-looking man laughed and kicked Teacher Chen a few times towards Dong Xuebing. “This woman is terrific despite her age. Fatty, Skinny, you two should have some fun with her.” That man laughed and walked out of the classroom.

The skinny convict looked at the private parts of Teacher Chen and was aroused.

The fat convict laughed. “If you want to have fun, go ahead. The mini-bus is not here yet.”

The male teacher cursed. “Bastards!”

The two female teachers were crying. Teacher Chen had a good reputation in school, and she is kindhearted and gentle. These bastards…

The skinny convict walked up to Teacher Chen and started taking off his pants.

Dong Xuebing’s face turned black and clenched his fist. When the skinny convict kneeled between Teacher Chen’s legs and spread her legs open, Dong Xuebing pounced on him like a leopard. The skinny convict was still holding on to his knife and sneered as he saw Dong Xuebing getting closer to him. He raised his dagger and stabbed forward!

Ah!!!

The knife was impaled into Dong Xuebing’s stomach!

The two female teachers screamed. Teacher Chen, who was on the floor, closed her eyes.

BACK 3 seconds!

Time returned.

Dong Xuebing had returned to the position before he pounced forward. He had tried to grab the knife from that skinny convict as he tackles him down. But he failed in his previous attempt. This skinny convict was a thief and was very agile. He had a fast reaction, and Dong Xuebing had to change his strategy. He still rushed forward, but this time, he lowered both his hands slightly.

The skinny convict sneered and stabbed forward with his dagger!

Dong Xuebing already knew where the dagger would land. He shouted and grabbed the skinny convict’s wrist with both his hands. He twisted the convict’s hand with all his strength and nearly broke his wrist. The dagger changed direction, and Dong Xuebing pushed it back towards the skinny convict. The skinny convict looked at the dagger in shock as it was stabbed into his chest. He tried to say something but could not find the strength. He had died on the spot!

Eight convicts remains!

This was Dong Xuebing’s first time killing someone. But he does not have the time to think about it. He shouted. “Get onto the floor!”

The female teachers remembered what Chief Dong said earlier and quickly pushes the children onto the floor with her.

The fat convict, who was at the far end of the classroom, saw the skinny convict dies before his eyes. He couldn’t react in time and aimed his gun at Dong Xuebing. “Go to hell!”

Dong Xuebing rushed towards the fat convict fearlessly, without dodging or hiding. There’s no point in hiding, as no matter how fast Dong Xuebing was, he will not be faster than a bullet. His only option is to get as close as the fat convict to fight him. As long as Dong Xuebing was not killed instantly, he can always use BACK to turn back time!

However, Dong Xuebing had underestimated that fat convict’s marksmanship. He heard a loud bang and felt time stopped suddenly.

The teachers and students were shocked to see a bloody bullet wound on Dong Xuebing’s head!

“Ah!”

“Chief Dong!”

Dong Xuebing could feel a burning sensation in his head and collapse onto the floor.

It was pitch black, and Dong Xuebing couldn’t hear a thing.

Dong Xuebing realized he had failed. He was handcuffed, and his opponent had a gun. The difference is too significant. He tried to shout out in anger, but no voice could come out of his throat. Dong Xuebing does not want to die, and he still has lots of unfinished tasks. He wants to be promoted to Section Chief and still had not sort out his complicated relationships. How can his life end so early? F**K!!!!

One second…

Two seconds…

Suddenly Dong Xuebing realized something. How come his encounter now is so familiar?

That’s right! Dong Xuebing remembered! When he saved Aunt Xuan and that old man, he was killed by that vehicle. It is the same surroundings at that time. After that accident, he got the ability BACK. At that time, he used BACK to revive himself, and he can do the same thing now.

Damn!

BACK 30 Seconds!

The darkness in front of Dong Xuebing was gone!

The moment Dong Xuebing opens his eyes, he saw the light and that fat convict pointing his gun at him. His body was rushing towards the gun! He had returned! The time had returned to the moment before he was killed, and he was overjoyed! He had revived and is not dead!

But the next moment, Dong Xuebing heard a loud bang!

He felt a burning sensation in his head, and everything turned dark again!

F**k!

BACK 3 seconds!

Time returned to 3 seconds ago!

Dong Xuebing did not have time to think. He used all his strength to move his head to the side. But bullets are too fast for his eyes. When Dong Xuebing just started to move, the bullet entered his head for the third time. The position of his wound had moved slightly to the side. Dong Xuebing is dead again.

BACK 4 seconds!
