Chapter 55: Ability Upgrade

  After seeing the hesitant expression on Liu Li's face, the ruffian known as Lao Da burst out laughing: "Hahaha... it seems that our brother's hostage has a deep relationship with you, Officer. You're the one who just shot and killed my two brothers, aren't you?"

  That is to say, as long as I kill these two hostages, it will be equivalent to avenging my two brothers, but I don't plan to do so, because that's too bloody, I want to give you a chance.

  However, I'd like to advise you of something first. I know your marksmanship is excellent, but no matter how good it is, it's impossible for you to kill both my brother and me at the same time. If one of us encounters an accident, the other will immediately kill the hostage. If you don't want that to happen, then cooperate with us honestly.

  "Officer, first find me a police car with a full tank of gas, then go to the supermarket and put those two bags of money next to the cashier into the police car. After you're done, I'll give you an extra hostage as a reward, how about it?"

  After hearing the bandit's request, Liu Li stood on the spot and fell into deep thought. He couldn't agree to the bandit's request no matter what, otherwise, once the bandit drove the police car away from here, as long as they hijacked another car on the road, they would likely shake off the police pursuit and escape.

  But if they don't meet the hijacker's demands, Liu Li is worried that the hijackers will use the disabled hostages to force the police to surrender, and he doesn't want either Lin Shuangshuang or Tingting to be subjected to this.

  Seeing the empty supermarket, Liu Li thought of the people who were packed inside before, and he felt proud of the bloody screams that had just been shouted out by the hostages. He also felt helpless about the indifference of those people afterwards.

  At that time, if those hostages could stand up and resist the thugs, it would not be like this now. However, in the end, so many hostages watched Lin Shuangshuang and her mother being taken away without anyone daring to stop them.

  Liu Liyue got angrier and angrier, and after seeing Lin Shuangshuang and Tingting's situation, his heart fluctuated greatly. The hand he had scratched earlier, which had almost stopped bleeding, suddenly started bleeding again under the stimulation of Liu Li's emotions.

  When Liu Li's blood permeated the cigarette butts hidden in his pants, he suddenly felt a message appear in his mind: "Blood value quantity reached standard, attention reached standard, target body tissue fragments sufficient, can activate Shadow Control Body, time limit three seconds."

  "What's this 'Shadow Control'?" When the message prompt appeared, Liu Li was taken aback for a moment, and at that time, he found that the largest pile of cigarette butts in his pants pocket had disappeared.

  These cigarette butts were collected from the off-road vehicle where Liu Li and the thugs were riding, at which time Liu Li divided the cigarette butts into four piles according to their seats. The largest pile of cigarette butts was found under the seat of the thug who held a knife.

  Just as the smoke disappeared, a familiar feeling reappeared on Liu Li's body, it was the feeling of his ability being activated. Liu Li found that his ability had restarted again, but this time it was different from before.

  This time, when Liu Li's consciousness possessed the shadow of the knife-wielding thug, he vaguely felt that during this period of superpower activation, he could indirectly control the other person's body through their shadow at any time, for a duration of three seconds.

  As soon as this ability appeared, Liu Li's heart immediately rose with a hint of joy. The upgraded version of the ability was too important, and to some extent, it was not inferior to the "Immobilization Technique" and "Body Control Technique" in legendary stories.

  At this moment, Liu Li didn't have time to ponder the principle of upgrading his special ability, because he knew that his special ability had a time limit, and he had to solve the villain in front of him before it expired.

  Liu Li quietly took out his own gun, staring unblinkingly at the thug holding Lin Shuangshuang hostage across from him. Then he transformed the consciousness that had attached itself to the shadow of the knife-wielding thug into a thread of consciousness that connected with his own, and Liu Li felt that he could now control the thug's body.

  Yu Shao Yong and others looked at the situation in front of them, their brows furrowed even deeper. He knew Lin Shuangshuang, a entrepreneur with great influence in the county. If such an influential person were to be killed right before his eyes, he, as the director, would also lose his position. Sighing, "Being a director is worthless these days," Yu Shao Yong could only place his hopes on Liu Li now.

  Liu Wei looked at Liu Li, who was confronting the thugs, and a complex thought flashed through his mind. He was both angry and impressed by Liu Li's actions. He was angry because the situation on site was so severe that even the county special police team dared not to intervene, but Liu Li had done so. If something unexpected happened to the hostages, not only would Liu Li be punished, but the entire third squadron would also be implicated.

  But after Liu Li took action, not only did he kill two thugs, but also with his words, he stirred up the blood of those hostages, forcing the thugs to give up most of the hostages and change from holding nearly a hundred hostages to holding just two.

  But what nobody expected was that the two hostages being held at present had an extremely great connection with Liu Li, although Liu Wei did not know the relationship between Liu Li and the kidnapped mother and daughter, but just because the little girl who was kidnapped called Liu Li "Dad", he knew that the relationship between Liu Li and the two hostages was extraordinary.

  Many police officers at the scene had similar thoughts to Liu Wei, they all focused their attention on Liu Li, wanting to see how he would resolve the current crisis. As the county public security bureau chief, Yu Shao Yong had already made up his mind that if there was no other way, he would agree to the hijacker's demands, giving them a car or money, as long as they could rescue Lin Shuang and her mother.

  Anyway, Lin Shuang's family has a lot of money. As long as the mother and daughter are rescued, they can let Lin Shuang pay out the money that was given to the thugs again. After the thugs run away, they can slowly catch them later. In other words, this is called "the sheep losing its wool".

  Just as Shao Yong was about to respond to the bandit's demands, he saw an unbelievable scene. Liu Li swiftly drew his gun and fired a shot at the armed bandit, hitting him right between the eyes, killing him instantly.

  He then took three steps forward and two steps back, running swiftly to the front of the thug with a knife. He grabbed the thug's hand holding the cleaver, twisted it off with one hand, and then hugged Tingting in his arms.

  The whole process took only two or three seconds, and during this time, the knife-wielding thug stood there like a fool, motionless until Liu Li rescued the hostage from his arms. Only then did the thug come back to his senses with a look of terror on his face: "What...just happened?"

  "Psst......" Seeing Liu Li instantly rescue the two hostages, everyone at the scene took a deep breath, and they were all stunned by Liu Li's marksmanship and agility.
