He continued to take off the man’s vest and holster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The equipment was unattractive, but could be very convenient in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were light but quick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the person and the car covering him, nobody else had noticed what happened. Even the car driver was craning his head and looking forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A minute later, Luke looted the man of all his equipment. He smiled; the role of hunter and prey had switched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He jumped off the car and stopped next to the driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver subconsciously turned around and said, “George, you...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke smashed his fist into the guy’s face, flinging him back into his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without stopping, Luke moved sideways to the second car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This driver was an even more avid spectator than the first one; he had opened the door and was watching from outside the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, his collar was grabbed and he was struck on the back of his head. He was also stuffed back into the driver’s seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were now two cars and seven people up ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke approached them unhurriedly with the Beretta 92FS raised. If any of those people saw him, he would have no choice but to kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t kill all of them; some of them had to be kept alive as witnesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more witnesses there were, the less likely that the case could be covered up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was only the lackeys, such as Gus, that he would keep alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real leaders of the group were the people who waited for the prey to be delivered to them in the playground. They wouldn’t catch the victims in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to be wealthier and more influential. Luke wouldn’t let any of them live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dead men couldn’t pull any strings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if their families sought revenge? Wouldn’t they seek revenge anyway if Luke let those people go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approaching the rear of the crowd, Luke put his pistol back into the holster. He then grabbed two people by the heads and smashed them together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a bam, both of them collapsed, and only five players remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke sped up and moved as fast as he could. His fists lashed out like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drug was still in his system, cutting his strength and reflexes down by half, but it was still easy for him to ambush these players who were barely prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five players were instantly knocked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke looked them over and soon figured out their identities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those who clearly had better clothes and weapons, he punched them in the back of their heads heavily and killed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no survivors after he was done, because none of them had lousy gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t use a gun to kill them, because it would alert the players on the other side of the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t break their necks either, because he might later be accused of killing criminals when they had lost the ability to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the case was investigated later, he could argue that he had been punching hard when the enemy attacked him. Nobody could blame him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody could control their fists perfectly when they were faced with ten armed bandits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stripped them of their weapons and kept a generic M1911 for himself. He also took a leg holster off one of the players to store all the magazines that his pistol could use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his other leg was a decent knife in a sheath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person whose hands were nailed to the pier looked at him in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a cold smile, Luke said, “You were great bait; you can die, now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kicked the guy’s head, and it twisted 270 degrees, as if he were looking back at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everything was done, Luke examined the four vehicles. He found walkie-talkies but no cell phones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people communicated via walkie-talkies. Things were now trickier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he drive one of the cars away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t familiar with the environment. If the car was damaged by traps on the way, he would be surrounded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight earlier had been easy because he was on his own, and could attack or retreat freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he drove the car away, he would have to take Selina with him, and she barely had any strength left. They would be sitting ducks for the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke’s eyes flashed coldly as he decided to take down all of the players!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had wasted 300 credits and had nearly been killed. He didn’t intend to give in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, fine. The credits weren’t exactly wasted, because it was spent on abilities, but Luke still found it wasteful to spend it on the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got into the biggest pickup with a pair of night vision goggles around his neck. Starting the car, he drove along the edge of the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard a few gunshots just now. Obviously, things weren’t going well for Bob’s family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he drove, Luke met another vehicle coming from the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luke’s car, the vehicle slowed down, and the man on the back shouted, “Hey, how’s it going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke held the wheel with his left hand and took the M1911 out of the holster with his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lifted his foot off the pedal, he stepped on the brake, and he switched the gun from his right hand to his left, which he lifted to the open window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was almost right next to the driver of the other vehicle, and he didn’t even need to shoot twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he blew up the driver’s head, the two cars passed each other. The man on the back of the vehicle was shocked, but Luke raised his gun again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was another headshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke hit the gas, and the car sped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his wake, the SUV had stopped moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting the gun back into the holster, Luke was utterly calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed that serenity was necessary when killing someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing was a task that required concentration. He couldn’t be muddle-headed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Luke, the most important thing right now was to kill these perverted players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran into the first group of game zealots as he approached the other side of the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two cars and four players. In front of them was the young boy, Bobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bobby had multiple arrows in him, but none of them were critical hits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was screaming and struggling to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those players were vicious. They had shot at the non-vital parts, such as the arms and legs.\u003C\u002Fp>",1110,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.054Z",1,"novelbin.me","ba44b4fc64f7cdee03dcf3aeca1149dea4a2898744ded609289ab6b1027e8272","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-187","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-186",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
