4450 The Other Side 419
“In other words, once these handcuffs are put on, there’s no way to remove them. Simply put, once the people from the Sacred Temple put such handcuffs on them, neither we nor they can undo such a device.”
Gong Jie was instantly enraged. “Meaning, the Sacred Temple wanted them dead from the start?!”
“You can say that. The Sacred Temple has never thought of letting the hostages leave alive.”
The man frowned. It seemed that this matter was much trickier than he had imagined.
!!“So, how about this?” Vermillion Bird suggested, “Let’s not defuse the handcuffs first. We’ll take them back to Hurricane. There are so many people in Hurricane, surely someone can figure out a way to remove them? At that point, assuming we’ve figured out how to remove the handcuffs, it won’t be too late to take them off. In short, the most important thing now is to get the hostages safely away from here.”
“That’s true, but…”
“There’s a but?” Vermillion Bird started to show some impatience. “But what? Do you think that a great organization like Hurricane can’t even defuse such a linked device?”
“It’s not that…” The man was obviously in awe of Vermillion Bird and said with trepidation, “The linked device would have entered a countdown upon activation. This kind of linked device has a timer on it. Generally, it’s seven days. If the handcuffs are not released in seven days, the linked device will automatically explode, so…”
When Vermillion Bird heard this, she was completely stunned. She was also greatly shocked by the cruelty and insidiousness of the Sacred Temple. However, she had also seen many such things, so she didn’t stay surprised for too long.
Gong Jie, on the other hand, wore a grave expression. He had long guessed that the Sacred Temple would be insolent and that their style of doing things, extreme. When it came to dealing with hostages, they were inhumane. They did not care about the hostages’ life and death. They only used them as a bargaining chip.
And they relied on the value of these hostages to be so high-handed. However, even if they knew that their rescue operation might be categorized as useless, they would still do their best to think of a way to save the hostages.
Vermillion Bird was somewhat puzzled. “I don’t understand. Aren’t they worried that if they were to be too extreme, we’d give up the hostages? At that point, the Hurricane Group will target the Sacred Temple and launch a crazy revenge. Are they really not afraid of the Hurricane Group?”
“Heh! Evil cults! What do you think these people are like?” Gong Jie said, “The heretics believe in the gods. These pseudo-Christians believe that God has been silently protecting them. They think that they can become gods after death and live forever. What rationality do you think they have?”
“But since they have such great faith in their god, why do they even come to the Hurricane Group for firearms?”
“Because Jim, the cult leader, is a rather shrewd and clear-headed person. He takes advantage of the devotion of the heretics to make a fortune. Over the years, how many believers has the Sacred Temple plundered? Jim knows the realities of the world, but he uses such ridiculous teachings to brainwash the believers and seize their assets. Those believers were all pitiful people who had been deceived by him.”
“There’s always something deplorable about a pitiful person.”
“Anyway, no matter what, let’s save the three hostages first.”
“Leave this matter to me.” Vermillion Bird stood up, lightly punched his chest with her fist, and smiled, “I will definitely rescue the three hostages at all costs.”
