BXBX NOVEL Chapter 130 Magician
Chapter 130: Magician
The hooded man walked away, leaving his bag behind.
Ryder walked to the bag in a hurry. He was worried that the man would leave, but he didn’t leave the bag behind as that would have made thousands of people die.
He kept his eyes on the man that was walking away while he stood near the bag.
’What should I do about this bag? I’m sure the bomb would be inside it, but if it’s a bomb with a timer or a bomb that works on a remote, I can’t be sure. Fuck it; I’ll just do it. From what I know, the time doesn’t move in my storage space."
Ryder looked at the bag and opened his inventory, and placed the bag in his storage.
A child was standing some distance away from him and noticed the bag disappear.
He tucked on the skirt of his mother. His mother looked towards the boy.
"Mother, that uncle is a magician! He made the bag go poof!" the boy said as he pointed towards Ryder.
His mother just smiled and ignored the words of her child as a story.
"Let’s go. If you like magic, I’ll take you to see a true magic show," the woman said as she took the boy with her.
Ryder kept the bag in his storage and started running after the hooded man that had already reached far away from him.
The man glanced back casually and saw Ryder running towards him. He grew suspicious and increased his speed.
The man changed his direction and went towards a more secluded area of the amusement park.
There was an abandoned place in the amusement park known as the Land of Pirates. It was similar to the haunted house. It was long and dark, but instead of showing the haunted stuff, it had the pirates related stuff.
This place was made for the kids, but it wasn’t popular. The operating cost of this place was much higher than what the amusement park earned from this place. That’s why they had closed this place until they could review how they could improve it.
The man ran towards the Land of Pirates and entered that place.
Ryder realized that the man had seen him following him, but he didn’t care. It was even better for him now that he was in a secluded place.
Ryder walked inside the Land of Pirates.
He was walking deeper into the Land of Pirates.
There were many decorations all around him, related to the pirates.
There were lifelike statues of bearded pirates and huge pirate ships.
*Bang*
Ryder was walking deeper to look for the man when the sound of a bullet being fired from the gun arrived.
The bullet entered Ryder’s chest, making him fall down to the ground.
Ryder laid on the ground lifeless.
"Didn’t your mother tell you that it is bad manners to follow someone? Look where it brought you,"
The Terrorist stepped out from behind a statue.
There was a gun in his hand. It was a small, single-handed gun.
He walked towards Ryder, sure that he was killed.
What he didn’t know was that Ryder’s Ruler of nature skill was working, healing his wound.
The bullet that was inside his body was turned to nutrients similar to how plants use photosynthesis.
His wound also healed, not leaving even a single mark behind.
The only thing that still proved that he was shot was the hole in his shirt, which was covered with his own blood.
"Hmph, wasted my time. It’s fine as well. I can still hear the sound of that blast from here. It should be the time soon.
The man said as he looked towards the entrance of the Land of Pirates, smilingly.
He looked at the time on his watch, which was showing 10:59:55.
He started counting the time.
"5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0,"
As soon as the man said the word 0, the watch showed the time 11:00:00, but he didn’t hear the blast he was expecting.
Instead, he heard a gunshot. A bullet penetrated his hand that was holding the gun.
The man screamed in agony as the gun fell down to the ground.
He held his hand and started roaring like mad.
"Stop acting like a child. I was shot in the chest. Did you hear me screaming like that?"
The man was screaming in pain when he heard a mocking tone from behind.
He looked back and saw Ryder standing as if nothing had happened to him. Ryder had a gun in his hand, which he always kept in his inventory. It allowed him to bring his weapon anywhere.
Ryder walked forward right before his eyes and picked up the man’s dropped gun as well.
"H-how are you alive?" The Man asked with a horrified look on his face.
"Uhmm... Because I have a cheat?" Ryder muttered as he shot the right leg of the man.
The man again screamed like a beast being slaughtered.
"I don’t like the sound of your scream. Can you stay silent?" Ryder let out as he shot his left leg as well.
The man screamed again. His eyes had turned blood red and were filled with tears.
"I told you that I don’t like your screaming," Ryder muttered as he shot his left hand as well.
"Then stop shooting me, you bastard!" the man screeched in pain.
Ryder shook his head as he looked at the man without any pity.
"Oh, geez, Being shot makes one scream? how about being blown to smithereens because of a bomb some idiot planted?"
"I-i... " the man stuttered.
"Don’t say anything without asking; otherwise, the next bullet will be making a hole in that empty head of yours," Ryder said as he pointed both his guns towards the man.
Even though the man was in excruciating pain, he closed his mouth, but the worried look on his face was evidence of how much pain he was going through. His hands and legs were turned useless; now, the only thing he had left was his life, which he didn’t want to lose.
"That’s better. Now let’s get back to the point," Ryder smiled as he sat near the man.
"Why did you plan to blow up this place? And how were you able to bring the bomb and a gun inside this place without getting caught," Ryder asked the man.
The man hesitated briefly.
*Sigh*
"I know I told you to stay silent, but if you don’t even answer me, then you can’t expect me not to shoot you, can you?" Ryder asked with a wry smile on his face as he shot the shoulder of the man.
