One of her henchmen immediately stepped forward and said menacingly, "Kid, don't you know we're from the Fubuki Group? Get out of our way!"
King's gaze remained calm as still water. He didn't even look at the shouting subordinate, but stared at Fubuki and slowly spoke:
"What if I say no?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a strange calmness that seemed to freeze the surrounding noisy air instantly.
The subordinate felt uneasy under his gaze and was momentarily at a loss for words.
A hint of surprise flashed in Fubuki's eyes; she hadn't expected anyone to dare to contradict her to her face.
She scrutinized the man before her, noting his hideous scar, his unfathomable eyes, and his seemingly indifferent composure.
Her intuition told her that this person was not simple.
Fubuki waved her hand, stopping her subordinates who were about to make a move. She didn't insist further and instead chose to sit down in the empty seat opposite KING.
Her men immediately occupied the surrounding seats, forming a protective circle to separate her from King.
The atmosphere inside the carriage became somewhat awkward.
Fubuki would occasionally scrutinize King with a critical eye, while King would put his headphones back on and pull his hat down, as if everything outside was irrelevant to him.
In this eerie calm, the train started moving again and headed toward the next station.
However, no one noticed that behind the toilet door at the junction of the carriages, a figure quietly peeked out, staring at Fubuki with venomous eyes and a twisted smile on his lips.
He was clutching a remote control that was flashing red light tightly in his hand.
"Hellish blizzard...it's you who destroyed everything I had! Today, I'll make you and everyone in this truck pay for my death! Hahaha!"
The low, manic laughter was drowned out by the noise of the train.
Suddenly, a piercing announcement rang out throughout the entire train.
"Attention, passengers! Attention, passengers!"
"A suspicious item, possibly an explosive device, has been found in this carriage! Please remain calm, do not move around, and wait for instructions from the crew! (Repeating...)"
Before the announcement was even finished, the entire carriage erupted in chaos.
"explosive?!"
"My God! What's going on?"
"I want to get off! Stop the bus!"
Panic spread rapidly like a plague, and passengers screamed and cried in chaos.
The once spacious carriage instantly became extremely crowded, with people pushing and shoving each other, trying to get away from the dangerous object.
Fubuki's expression instantly turned serious. She abruptly stood up, unleashing her powerful superpowers.
She let out a delicate shout, and an invisible aura spread out, calming the chaotic crowd around her somewhat.
"I am the B-rank hero 'Hellish Blizzard'! Everyone stay where you are and don't move!" Her voice gave the panicked people a glimmer of hope.
Fubuki's superpower quickly scanned the carriage, and she soon locked onto her target.
"It's on the luggage rack in carriage number 7!" she immediately ordered her subordinates. "You go and evacuate the crowd, I'll deal with that thing!"
"Yes! Fubuki-sama!"
However, at that moment, a mocking voice rang out again through the train's public address system.
"As expected of the number one hero in B-rank, you found it so quickly. But do you think I'll give you the chance to dismantle it?"
The voice continued:
"The bomb's detonator is linked to my heartbeat; I can detonate it anytime I want."
"Furthermore, I've prepared a little game for you. I've placed three secondary detonators at three different locations on the train. You must deactivate them all within fifteen minutes, or else... Boom!"
"Who are you? What is your purpose?" Fubuki shouted angrily into the loudspeaker.
"Who am I? I'm a pathetic wretch whose life you ruined! My organization, my hard work, all of it has been ruthlessly destroyed by your 'Blizzard Group'!"
"Now all I want is for you to die! Of course, having a whole truckload of people buried with you will make for a grand funeral! Hahaha!"
Fubuki's face turned extremely ugly.
She remembered that she had indeed led a team to wipe out a small criminal gang that used technology to extort money some time ago.
Unexpectedly, there were still some who escaped the net and retaliated in such an extreme way.
Fifteen minutes, three bombs, and the main detonator is still on an unknown enemy.
This is a dead end with almost no solution!
Just when everyone was in despair, the man who had remained seated the whole time, King, finally opened his eyes again.
He slowly took off his headphones, his brows furrowed slightly, seemingly somewhat annoyed by the sudden noise.
His gaze calmly swept over the panicked crowd, finally settling on Fubuki, whose face was grave.
“Location,” he said in a deep voice.
Fubuki also noticed KING's unusual behavior.
While everyone else was panicking, he remained calm.
Such composure is something that is not possessed by ordinary people.
Chapter 52 King's Move
"Aren't you... scared?" Fubuki asked instinctively.
KING glanced at her, but instead of answering the question, asked in return, "Can you find the locations of those three auxiliary devices?"
Fubuki paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! One is under the seat in carriage 3, one is in the restroom in carriage 10, and the other... is on the luggage rack in this carriage!"
Her superpower allows her to sense unusual energy fluctuations.
"But there's not enough time!" Fubuki's voice was filled with anxiety.
"Even if we split up, we can't disable three devices simultaneously within fifteen minutes, let alone with an enemy lurking in the shadows!"
Lin Mo ignored her shock and simply strode towards the connecting area between the carriages.
His pace was not fast, but each step was exceptionally steady, giving people a sense of reassurance.
Those two simple words made Fubuki instinctively follow. The members of the "Fubuki Group" behind her exchanged glances, but still followed.
Lin Mo's target was clear: the bomb installed on the luggage rack.
He walked to the bomb and looked up at the device that was flashing a red light.
It was a complex time bomb, with countless wires of different colors intertwined, making it dazzling to the eye.
"It's no use!" the frantic voice on the radio blared again. "That's a specially designed bomb. Unless you're a top-notch bomb disposal expert, any wrong attempt will detonate it immediately!"
Lin Mo ignored him and just stared at the device. He didn't know how to defuse the bomb, but he had his own methods.
He slowly released his spiritual power to examine the structure of the bomb.
His lips curled up slightly, forming a smile.
"found it."
He reached out his hand, and under everyone's horrified gaze, instead of touching the complex wiring, he directly grasped the bomb's hard metal casing.
In the blink of an eye, the bomb was crushed into a lump.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, their hearts pounding in their throats. Wait, why did you just start hitting me...?
However, the deafening explosion that everyone had imagined did not occur.
The first bomb has been defused.
The method was simple, crude, and unheard of.
"No...impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
For the first time, the voice on the radio betrayed undisguised terror and panic. The arrogant laughter abruptly ceased, replaced by a trembling voice as if the speaker had seen a ghost.
Fubuki and her men were completely petrified, their mouths agape and their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
Lin Mo expressionlessly threw the lump of scrap metal on the ground, then turned and walked towards the 10th carriage.
"next."
He strode towards carriage number 10. The crowd automatically parted to make way for him.
"Stop...stop!"
The voice came on again over the radio, filled with undisguised terror.
"You... what kind of monster are you?! That's C4 plastic explosive, with a special alloy outer shell! How could you possibly..."
Lin Mo ignored him and walked straight through several carriages to carriage 10, where he entered the small restroom.
The second bomb is being secured to the toilet tank with super glue, and the red countdown clearly shows "11:34".
"Don't touch it! This one has a pressure sensor! Any abnormal disassembly will..."
The prisoner's warning was interrupted once again.
Lin Mo extended two fingers and, with an extreme precision that was completely opposite to the brute force he had previously displayed, inserted them into the core area where the bomb's circuitry was most dense.
After a sharp, long whistle, the countdown froze for a moment, then went out.
He actually used just two fingers to precisely destroy the bomb's power supply core!
This extreme control over power is even more chilling than the pure violence of crushing something just now.
The broadcast had stopped, and no sound came out for a long time.
Lin Mo casually pried the defunct bomb off the water tank, threw it into the sink like trash, then turned and walked out, continuing towards the third carriage.
Fubuki from Hell and her subordinates have been completely relegated to the background.
They mechanically followed behind KING, their minds blank.
A tremendous wave of emotion surged within Fubuki's heart.
Such incredible strength! Is he a hero too? Why have I never seen him before?
