Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble in fear.
His body involuntarily moved forward.
And this scene was just happened to be blocked by the big boy.
Although the other boy looked much younger than him, it was obvious that he came from a well-off family, which was why he looked so sturdy. Although he was a head taller, he hadn't been fed or clothed properly since being captured.
Comparing the two sides, he had absolutely no advantage.
However, he had the best opportunity right now because he heard the footsteps of the adults approaching.
He walked up to the boy and said with an anxious expression, "Move aside quickly! We can't defy those adults. They have the key to this door; we can't stop them at all. Once they find out we're resisting, getting beaten will be the least of our worries—people will really die!"
But unexpectedly, the boy who had been swayed by Kanna's words didn't choose to back down. Instead, he stood firmly in front of him, his gaze very resolute. At this moment, the other children also gathered around to block the gate.
"You!"
"I don't want to be sold somewhere else, and I don't want to leave my mom and dad..."
How many of the children who came here didn't know the fate that awaited them? But Kanna clearly had the means to resist fate; as long as they could go home, they weren't afraid of anything.
At this moment, how could this planted mole not know the situation he was about to face? However, the sound of approaching footsteps outside made him give up all hope. He walked to a corner and plopped down on the ground.
"Then do as you please. Remember, this is the path you chose. Don't blame me for not warning you if you get beaten to death!"
Everyone nervously watched the door. Lin Yuxia tugged at Kanna's sleeve and whispered, "What do we do? They're coming!"
"Don't worry, they can't get in!" Kanna lowered her hand from the iron door, comforting the girl in front of her. Unnoticed by others, she pressed her toe against the iron door.
The human trafficker who reached the iron door heard no sound from inside and thought the spy he sent in had already taken control of the situation. He was quite pleased that his trick had worked so well.
But to his surprise, he inserted the key, twisted the lock, and it didn't budge.
It turned out that the lock core of the iron door had already been melted by the high temperature generated by the strong electricity Kanna had just used. Now, it was a pile of scrap, so how could it be unlocked?
And the connection between the iron door and the door frame had also been welded together by Kanna. It could be said that unless one possessed monstrous strength like Kanna, or used Originium Arts to forcefully blast it open, it would be impossible to breach this iron door in a short time.
As for Kanna inside, upon sensing someone outside, she didn't wait for him to react. A current of electricity surged from her feet.
The man, who had his hands on the door trying to unlock it, immediately started breakdancing in the eyes of those behind him.
"How could you..." The person behind him, confused as to why his teammate was acting so strangely in such an urgent situation, reached out to touch him, and then also started breakdancing.
At this, the others also realized something was wrong and cautiously looked towards the door.
Kanna inside waved her hand, signaling everyone to move further in, lest the opponent truly had an Originium Arts user. She herself wouldn't be harmed, but if any of these children got hurt, Kaltsit and Nian would laugh her to death when she got back.
Soon, the two breakdancing individuals, emitting a smell of burnt flesh, stopped and fell to the ground.
"What's going on?! Hurry up, we don't have much time!" The people outside, seeing that the ones who went in hadn't brought the children out after a long time, asked.
"Boss, there are kids in there who know Originium Arts. Third and Sixth are already gone."
"Damn it, let's go, forget these goods! If we drag this out any longer, the cops will be here!" Hearing the bad news from inside, the people outside cursed their bad luck. The leader quickly made up his mind to abandon this batch of children.
Hearing the boss's decision, although everyone was a bit reluctant—after all, selling these children could earn them a lot—if they dragged it out too long and the cops caught them, they'd probably be lucky to spend decades in prison, or unlucky enough to be thrown into the official mines to dig stones.
"What do we do? They seem to be escaping?" Upon hearing the opponents' plan to retreat, the children inside all breathed a sigh of relief. However, Lin Yuxia, who had witnessed many things with her father from the Inspection Department, worried about letting these people escape.
Kanna took out her watch-style personal terminal and contacted Swire outside.
"You have a traitor within your ranks. Those guys got the news and are preparing to flee. If you don't move soon, I'm going to make my move!"
Upon hearing Kanna's words, Swire's expression darkened. No wonder these damn guys dared to abduct children in broad daylight and hadn't been caught after all this time—it turned out someone inside was tipping them off.
"Understood. Just protect the children; we'll handle these guys.
Don't worry, I promise you, not a single one of them will escape."
At this point, Swire glared fiercely at the factory building not far away and said through gritted teeth to Hoshiguma and the first batch of Lungmen Guard Department / Guard Department Operators who had arrived:
"There's no time to wait for the others. The people inside already know and are preparing to flee. Hoshiguma, you take five people and breach the main entrance. The remaining three will come with me to the back to block their escape route. We must catch all of them today."
Upon hearing Swire's command, everyone immediately sprang into action.
The human traffickers here also didn't expect the Lungmen Guard Department / Guard Department to arrive so quickly. Just as they hadn't even finished packing their basic belongings, there was a "boom," and the main gate, locked with chains as thick as a forearm, was kicked open by a tall figure.
"Lungmen Guard Department / Guard Department on official business! Everyone, hands on your head and lie on the ground!"
Hoshiguma's resonant voice, carrying unparalleled momentum, charged straight into the compound.
"Damn it, hurry and drive, ram through them!" Seeing the Lungmen Guard Department / Guard Department uniform, the boss in the car immediately ordered the driver beside him to drive, attempting to rush out before the Lungmen Guard Department / Guard Department completely sealed off the entrance.
Hearing the car engine start, Hoshiguma narrowed her eyes. She watched the starting car, then suddenly leaped into the air. With a twist of her waist and the force of inertia, she unhesitatingly swung her shield and smashed it onto the car.
After a tremendous roar, the recently started vehicle was directly smashed by Hoshiguma's violent shield strike, leaving a huge dent in its center, and the front windshield shattered into pieces.
The car was also forcibly stalled by this impact.
This violent scene not only made the team members behind her swallow nervously, marveling that Sister Oni had become even more violent after a year of overseas duty, but it also directly knocked out the driver of the car.
The few people outside who tried to resist were also so terrified by Hoshiguma's furious blow that their limbs wouldn't obey, and they were immediately kicked to the ground by the reacting Lungmen Guard Department / Guard Department personnel.
