Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

In the darkness of night, the henchmen and leaders of the pyramid scheme scattered like birds and beasts.

Screams and loud insults mingled together.

The blaring outside seemed very close; sirens and intimidating loudspeakers began to warn the people inside the building, like a sharp sword piercing through the desolate chaos of the night.

"Dare to block our path to wealth? You're asking for death!"

"Anyone who dares to run! I'll shoot! Let's see if my gun is faster or the cops are faster!"

A loud bang, accompanied by the sound of glass shattering, immediately silenced the people inside. It seemed the leaders had gathered together, but the gunshot did not come from outside.

One of the leaders found a flashlight, the light was bright but also murky, and the one holding the gun was one of the leaders.

"Damn it, we're going to die anyway if we go out. Grab our weapons and let's fight them!"

"Don't forget, we still have hostages in our hands; they won't dare to make any rash moves..."

Bo Bing protected Zhou Zhiyang's wheelchair, her hand slowly reaching to the back of the wheelchair. The two huddled in an inconspicuous corner. Zhou Zhiyang was so anxious that tears were about to fall, but he obediently covered his mouth and did not make a sound.

The young man glanced at the signal jammer next to Zhou Zhiyang's wheelchair and silently switched it on. His merciless snake eyes held a bottomless, icy pool, calm and still, yet requiring a spark to ignite its depths and burn everything to ashes.

The area seemed to be surrounded. Whether it was the gunshot that sounded like a guilty thief or not, Bo Bing sensed that the number of police officers outside was constantly increasing.

This is the police brigade of Shibalipu. It was a coincidence that we came here. We were originally investigating the gambling den in the "teahouse" when we received a report that someone was suspected of selling health products through pyramid schemes. The shop often sent people to lure the elderly into buying longevity chairs, longevity medicines, and miracle cures for all diseases. Many of their children have already been harmed because the elderly seem to be getting more and more addicted.

The police gathered some officers, originally to check the shop's relevant business licenses. They thought that if what the other party said was true, they would shut down the shop first.

Unexpectedly, there seemed to be a significant problem here. Just as they were uploading the execution plan, they received a call from the city's police brigade. The other side had been lying in wait for a long time and realized that they had alerted the enemy. In addition, there were suspected armed criminals, so they had no choice but to send reinforcements over first.

"Friends inside, don't hurt the hostage!" A middle-aged policeman shouted through a megaphone toward the thugs holding a woman hostage on the fourth floor. "We'll try our best to meet your demands, just release her first."

Ensuring the safety of the hostages is the most important thing.

"Get lost, you son of a bitch!" the leader laughed loudly. "Do you think I'm stupid enough to believe what you say?"

As he spoke, one of the guys next to him fired a few shots at the middle-aged policeman. The bullets hit the ground, but fortunately, the range of the homemade gun and the guy's accuracy were not very good; it was just a show of force.

Within this organization, some were accomplices, while others had prior criminal records and had served time in prison. Given the magnitude of this case, being caught meant certain death; otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to confront the police head-on after the initial panic.

"It doesn't matter if I die, but there are so many people here, I have to find a way to make things difficult for you!"

Bo Bing withdrew his hand and held his head, feeling several cold touches on his right hand. He surveyed the surroundings; there were about 20 people in the room. The only door to the conference hall was locked with a lock and chain, obviously to prevent anyone from sneaking out during the brainwashing party. Not far from the door, next to the power switch, was the skinny man who had just pulled the switch, facing the man who had been beaten up the day Bo Bing entered.

[Sensitive] Startup.

The young man suppressed a groan and began to sense his surroundings. As the pain in his body intensified, his perception of the environment became even faster. He secretly bent down, supporting himself with his left hand on the ground, placing his right hand behind him, and leaning his body backward.

My corner wasn't far from the thugs by the window or the door, but they were just a small group, not really desperate criminals. There were only two arrogant armed thugs, and the rest were armed with melee weapons, like machetes and stun batons.

"It's not like I haven't tried it before," the young man thought, his eyes darkening, knowing exactly what he was doing.

"Sir, please don't get agitated. We can talk this out. We can exchange hostages so you can leave the city!"

The woman cried in the arms of the knife-wielding thug. Another leader, seemingly angered by the unmet demands, turned his gun around, preparing to intimidate her.

"Damn it! Who the hell is stupid? I'll show you whether I dare to kill or not!"

At the height of tension, Bo Bing saw the dark muzzle of a gun pointed at her under the assailant's flashlight.

Ah, Bo Bing still has daydreams, really...

He curled his lips into a sinister smile, as if he could see the stunned look on the faces of the skinny monkey and the man, who had no time to react.

The cold, electronic sound of the Alpha engine rang in my ears.

[A critical situation has been detected; the host's life is threatened]

A pale blue fibrous network instantly spread across all the muscles and bones of the thin ice, and the pain from the fractured ribs was instantly relieved.

In the blink of an eye, the other party raised his hand towards Bo Bing, a flash of red light passing through the young man's eyes, as if he was already on guard against the other party, and he let out a sharp and eerie howl.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

[Mad Dog Howling] Activated.

Bo Bing instantly felt his adrenaline surge, his heart rate accelerate, and his blood flow increase. His pupils constricted as he listened to Alpha's next broadcast.

[Rapid Fire] is activated.

Bo Bing felt completely relaxed.

[Leg Bone Strengthening] Activated.

[Finger Bone Enhancement] Activated.

[Eagle Eye] activated. Temporarily gain an unrestricted, wide field of vision.

The young man's vision was instantly restored to light.

[Body Flexibility] Activated.

[Gold Medal Thrower] Activated.

You will gain the world's fastest baseball release and throwing speed.

[Accuracy Priority] Activated. Additional skill.

Bo Bing's pupils instantly contracted to the size of pinpoints. In the moment the other party was stunned, his body twisted into an unbelievable arc. Using his left toe as a fulcrum, he exerted force from his waist and swung his right hand on the ground into a full moon shape.

A terrifyingly loud sound of something cutting through the air.

The skinny monkey and the man watched helplessly as humans performed actions that defied the laws of nature.

Bang.

Then, the sound of shattering glass rang out again.

The police outside were shouting themselves hoarse, sweating profusely, when they were pulled back to their senses by the terrifying gunshots and explosions.

The police officers who were secretly surrounding them were also on tenterhooks.

To their surprise, a dark figure fell from the sky and slammed onto the ground like a sandbag, leaving it mangled and bloody.

Bo Bing stood up.

"A funny farce."

As he spoke, he spread his hands to his sides and walked straight to the window where the leader was holding hostages. His fierce and sinister eyes were obscured by his thick bangs, making them appear like Satan in the Garden of Eden, slowly flicking his venomous tongue.

The gang leader's teeth were chattering. He caught a glimpse of the bloodied and mangled body outside the window out of the corner of his eye. Snot kept running down his face. The lack of light and the darkness that had plunged the conference room back into darkness filled him with panic.

This guy... is this guy even human?

The window next to him had a large hole, and a cold wind was rushing in, making his hair stand on end.

"You dare come any closer? I'll kill her! I'll kill her!"

He haphazardly brandished his knife using the light coming through the window, while another armed assailant struggled to find the culprit.

Bo Bing still had time to think, really...

—What is it?

Hell has no gates, yet you barge in.

The young man gave a cold, curt smile.
