After observing the person for a while, Lu Xiaoran noticed that this individual appeared to be in excellent spirits. There was no sign of the dizziness or headache typically associated with inhaling toxic gas. They were located in a building, only a few meters above the ground. Even indoors, the concentration of poison gas was certainly not negligible. Yet, this person seemed completely unfazed, which struck Lu Xiaoran as odd.
Continuing to watch, Lu Xiaoran suspected that this individual might also possess an ability—specifically, the ability to be immune to poison gas damage. With this thought in mind, he decided he needed to capture this person and replicate their ability. Since the two robbers were armed, Lu Xiaoran was reluctant to engage them in a direct confrontation.
After a moment of contemplation, he manifested a submachine gun and held it in his hands. He then slowly crouched down, lowering his head below the window level. This way, he could ensure that any bullets fired from inside the room would not hit him.
Although the hazmat suit he wore was quite sturdy and theoretically resistant to bullet damage, high-velocity bullets could still deliver significant impact force. Even if the suit remained intact, his bones and internal organs could be injured from such force. Therefore, Lu Xiaoran opted for this more cautious approach to avoid giving the robbers a chance to shoot him.
Once crouched down, he raised the submachine gun above his head, resting the barrel on the window frame and aiming at the position where the two robbers stood earlier. Inside, the robbers were still reveling in their successful heist, completely unaware that they had become someone else's prey.
One of them, grinning broadly as he rummaged through food just retrieved from the kitchen, said to his companion, "Haha! We really hit the jackpot this time; it's all thanks to the guns you brought! With these two guns, once we finish this family's food, we can just move on to rob another house."
Just as he continued his chatter, Lu Xiaoran outside pulled the trigger of his submachine gun.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat!
The rapid-fire burst echoed through the air, quickly followed by heart-wrenching screams from within the room.
However, just a few seconds later, the wretched cries faded away, leaving only a deathly silence.
After emptying the magazine, Lu Xiaoran slightly turned to the side and cautiously peered through the window. One of the two robbers had collapsed on the ground, his body riddled with bullets, dead beyond any doubt. The other robber, however, had mysteriously vanished without a trace.
After observing for a while longer, Lu Xiaoran noticed a trail of blood on the floor inside the room. The bloodstains formed a path that extended out through the open doorway, indicating that the robber had escaped through the entrance.
Lu Xiaoran raised his Submachine Gun and smashed the window glass with the stock before swiftly leaping into the room. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the fallen robber was not the one he suspected of having an Ability.
It seemed he would need to exit through the door and continue searching for the robber who had fled. That person was also injured, so logically, he shouldn't have been able to run too far.
