Only then did the two air marshals dare to show their faces and go up to check the body of the last robber.
He was stabbed in the throat with a scalpel and died instantly.
It turned out that during the commotion, Gu Ran had been glancing at the situation behind him with his eyes rolled back. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was elsewhere, he used the scalpel that Su Xi had hidden on the back of his hand to shoot out a knife with incredible speed.
Apart from Susie, nobody noticed him at all.
Two air marshals went over, saw the body, and exchanged a surprised glance.
Someone helped them.
The air marshals immediately raised their voices and asked passengers in both economy and first class who had thrown the scalpel.
They weren't trying to assign blame; they just wanted to express their gratitude.
If this person hadn't intervened, several passengers would probably have died!
If the air marshals do not reveal their identities and watch the hostages die in front of them, their consciences will be troubled and they will be constantly tormented.
Therefore, no matter what, the person who fired the scalpel was the savior of the plane, and even more so, the benefactor of the two air marshals.
But Susie and Gu Ran, in order to avoid trouble, couldn't be bothered with them.
If they admit it, they'll have to stay and give a statement, and then they'll probably have to testify in court... It'll be very troublesome.
No need, really no need.
Just as the passengers were applauding and cheering, relieved to have escaped unharmed, another scream suddenly came from outside the cockpit.
Before the two air marshals could even catch their breath, they immediately went to investigate.
"Neither of you are allowed to come over, and neither of you are allowed to cross this curtain, or I will kill these two women!"
There was another robber!
The robber was also a bearded man. He was hiding behind a curtain in the first-class galley, where two flight attendants were being held hostage.
"Air marshals, don't come any closer! Open the cockpit door now! I'll count to ten. If you don't open the door, I'll shoot one of you!" the hijacker yelled.
"Don't open the door! Don't open the door under any circumstances!" the air marshal shouted.
If the door is opened and the driver's cab is hijacked, then it is very likely that 9/11 will be repeated!
The cockpit doors of airplanes are bulletproof, precisely to prevent the captain and pilots from being easily hijacked!
Because of the curtain blocking their view, the two air marshals couldn't aim at all; they couldn't even see what the robbers looked like.
They tried to get closer, but the hijackers immediately opened fire, preventing the air marshals from advancing and giving them no chance.
Upon hearing the gunshots, the other passengers quickly crouched down and sought cover. As expected of citizens of free America, those who grew up amidst gunfire reacted well.
"Ten!" The robbers began the countdown.
Gu Ran and Su Xi were in a blind spot.
He told Susie, "I remember the Glock in the box was modified by the equipment department."
"Mmm," Susie replied softly.
Gu Ran asked, "From this firing angle, to hit the robbers, the bullet would have to go through a wall... Is that possible?"
Susie explained, "The materials used on the plane are all lightweight aviation materials, to reduce the plane's weight. Our bullets are tungsten-core bullets, which have sufficient penetrating power... but I'm afraid they might penetrate the cockpit too..."
"Why didn't you bring some regular bullets?" Gu Ran said irritably. "You're using equipment for fighting dragons, what if you run into people?"
“I have Frigga’s bullets if I encounter someone.” Susie sighed. “Because of the curtain blocking the view, my vision is poor, and I can’t make a move right now.”
"I'll have to do it again." Gu Ran's seat was by the window. He looked down, opened his suitcase, and took out a kunai.
"Three!" The robber was still counting down, and he was almost done.
Gu Ran could see through walls with his white eyes and clearly see the robbers' movements.
The robber seemed not to be worried about being sniped by the air marshal because of the curtain.
He held a gun in his right hand, pressed it against the neck of a Black flight attendant, and then his left hand... kept wandering over the body of another flight attendant.
The flight attendant was an Indian woman. Her face was filled with terror, and she was enduring the discomfort of being touched in a perverted manner. Her whole body was numb!
"Two!" The robber was about to count to one when he grinned menacingly, "Looks like none of you believe I would kill someone!"
Gu Ran took a deep breath, observed clearly with his Byakugan, and then used the Dark Travel Technique to make the people in first class lose their vision.
He didn't want outsiders to see him make a move.
Next, he imbued the two kunai with wind-style chakra and shot them out with lightning speed!
The kunai pierced through the partition wall on the plane, and then the spikes accurately pierced the trigger of the pistol, tearing the hijacker's finger and the trigger apart together!
There was also a kunai, which was nailed to the robber's palm and inserted into his right chest.
"Ah!" the robber cried out in pain.
On the other side, the two flight attendants who had been held hostage also screamed in panic and escaped.
For those in first class, their vision only went black for a second before returning to normal.
When the two air marshals saw the flight attendant escape, they immediately rushed in and subdued the last robber!
The robbers tried to struggle, but it was too late, and they had no choice but to surrender.
The two air marshals looked at the two kunai. One kunai had severed the robber's finger, and the other, nailed to his palm, had just pierced his ribs.
In this way, the robber only suffered broken bones, but did not bleed profusely.
This attack required a very high level of chakra control, and Gu Ran put in a lot of effort.
“I think I understand the person who made the move,” one of the air marshals said. “He just wanted the plane to land in Chicago on time.”
The other air marshal understood immediately, because if a prisoner suffered severe bleeding and needed emergency medical attention, the plane would have to land at the nearest safe location.
After all, prisoners also have human rights.
Only the dead have no human rights.
The two air marshals immediately communicated with the cockpit to indicate that the crisis had been resolved and that they hoped to land in Chicago as planned.
After the captain reported to the control tower, they agreed that the flight could continue to Chicago Airport.
Taking advantage of this lull, the air marshals began to conduct a brief interrogation of the surviving hijacker, asking him why he hijacked the plane and what his purpose was.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the man confessed everything.
He demanded that the Americans release one of their leaders and provide several hundred million dollars to fund their upcoming jihad.
Finally, they planned to crash the plane, creating a very negative public opinion impact!
These robbers have quite a few targets in mind.
Unfortunately, none of them could be completed.
"I'll sleep a little longer. Wake me up when we get there." Gu Ran sat back down in her chair and started to sleep.
Susie's eyes were fixed on the hole pierced by the kunai in the partition wall, filled with admiration.
The two kunai were launched one after the other through the same hole; neither the launching technique nor the precision was something she could do.
Her competitive spirit was reignited, and she resolved to practice even harder when she returned to school, determined not to be looked down upon by her juniors!
Chapter 172 Detonating Talisman Paper
The following afternoon, in the principal's office at Kassel College.
On the desk, Susie stood gracefully to one side, holding freshly boiled water in her hand, preparing Kung Fu tea.
Originally, the principal was supposed to be making the tea, but China has a long tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, so how could she let an elderly person do such a task? Therefore, she took the initiative to take on the task of making the tea.
Angers leaned back in his leather office chair, admired the tea ceremony performed by the tall female student for a while, glanced at Gu Ran who was secretly eating tea snacks, and suddenly laughed heartily.
“You did a great job in Siam this time, not letting a single genetically mutated dog escape. I will reward you, and your internship grades for this semester will be perfect.”
"Thank you for the compliment, Principal," Susie said with a smile.
Gu Ran finished the cake in front of her and then took a sip of the oolong tea that Susie had brewed.
"By the way... is there a bonus?"
Angers laughed and retorted, "You've earned a hundred million US dollars in Siam, and you're still short of money?"
"Who would complain about not having enough money!" Gu Ran said irritably. "Besides, I only got fifty million."
There's still 50 million left, which was transferred to Susie yesterday.
Susie didn't covet the money; she donated it directly to the Lionheart Society in her and Gu Ran's names for operational and daily activities.
“I still have the authority to give you a regular scholarship,” Angers said, “but only around ten or twenty thousand US dollars. Don’t even think about anything more.”
Gu Ran didn't complain. It was better than nothing, and it was good to use it as pocket money.
The executive department actually gives him a separate bonus, which is more than the scholarship.
Susie, on the other hand, was flattered when she heard about the scholarship.
Moreover, she didn't expect Gu Ran to speak so casually in front of the principal.
It's important to know that in this school, the principal has absolute authority and prestige, and is respected and loved by every student.
Being able to have afternoon tea in the principal's office is the most prestigious honor for a student.
“This time we stirred up the enemy, but they didn’t come out. They won’t make any more moves for a while.” On Angers’ table were two operation reports, one by Susie and the other by Gu Ran.
He continued, "I will have people keep an eye on the black market in Southeast Asia, including human organ trafficking, underground casinos, drugs, and organized prostitution. We should be able to find some useful leads."
"What clues are there in the bottle of medicine I brought back?" Gu Ran asked.
Angers took the glass bottle out of the drawer. The potion inside was a striking color, a gradient of red and purple.
Half of the medicine was missing; it was taken for testing.
Angers said, "This medicine is a serum from dragon's blood. When combined with other drugs, it can cause a person's bloodline to surge rapidly in a short period of time, which is equivalent to..."
"Is it equivalent to the Blood Explosion in the Lionheart Society?" Gu Ran added at the opportune moment.
"You know about Blood Burst?" Angers asked in surprise, because most of the literature about this technology had been sealed away by him.
Gu Ran smiled and then looked at Su Qian. There was no confusion on her face, so she obviously knew as well.
