Lu Yun fired another arrow, disabling the terrorist’s remaining hand.
After that, he lowered his bow and did not shoot again.
He intentionally left the man alive, hoping that the authorities would be able to extract useful information from him.
With that, all four terrorists had been neutralized.
However, the auditorium suddenly erupted into chaos.
The students, staring at the blood and corpses scattered across the floor, finally snapped out of their shock.
“Run!”
“The terrorists are dead! Get out!”
“Thank God we’re still alive!”
The students screamed as they rushed toward the exits in a frenzy.
The entire hall descended into confusion.
Lu Yu was among the crowd, but instead of fleeing, she anxiously looked around, searching for her brother.
Outside the auditorium
Everyone had witnessed everything from beginning to end.
From the moment the terrorists took hostages and began livestreaming, to the appearance of the mysterious figure who fought guns with nothing but a bow and arrows, ultimately defeating all four terrorists and rescuing the hostages.
Cold weapons against firearms?
It was practically a miracle.
Had they not seen it with their own eyes, nobody would have believed it.
“Who was it? We still haven’t seen his face!”
“Yeah, the cameras never showed the second floor—only the arrows flying down.”
“That was incredible! Absolutely amazing!”
“His archery skills were simply unbelievable!”
The people of Jiangnan City erupted in excitement.
How many times in a lifetime could one witness something like this?
For a moment, the entire city was buzzing with discussion.
Outside Mingri High School
The government officials present wore complicated expressions.
They had all believed the hostage crisis would end in disaster, yet it had been resolved in such an unbelievable manner.
The captain of the special police unit was the first to recover.
“Search the school! Check for bombs and suspicious individuals! Secure the area and calm the students! Move!”
The police chief said gravely,
“Leave this place to you. I’m returning to headquarters to coordinate the citywide lockdown. We must find any remaining terrorists hiding in Jiangnan.”
After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back.
“By the way, tell me as soon as you find out who that mysterious hero is.”
The mayor nodded.
“These terrorists were obviously looking for something. Investigate thoroughly. Don’t overlook a single clue.”
“Understood!”
Soon, the entire area was placed under lockdown as officers began evacuating civilians and searching for explosives.
Inside the second floor of the auditorium
Lu Yun immediately destroyed the bow and arrows.
For now, he had no intention of revealing himself.
There were simply too many people around, and attracting attention would only expose him to danger.
Given his current circumstances, if his enemies in the capital discovered his abilities, they would become even more desperate to eliminate him.
Keeping a low profile was the wiser choice.
Showing off to the entire world would be foolish.
Still, Lu Yun knew it would be difficult to keep everything hidden.
All he could do was take things one step at a time and wait until he became stronger.
Soon afterward, he encountered the young woman hiding in the storage room.
“Don’t tell anyone about what happened today.”
The woman, who still had no idea what had occurred outside, looked puzzled but nodded obediently.
“Okay.”
Lu Yun sighed.
He knew such a request carried little weight.
If the police questioned her, there was no guarantee she would remain silent.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to escort her personally.
Taking advantage of the confusion among the students, he blended into the crowd and ran toward the exit together with the other students and parents.
Looking at the bloody scene around them and the corpses with arrows protruding from their heads, the woman asked nervously,
“Was… was this your doing?”
“No.”
Lu Yun shook his head without hesitation as he continued searching for Lu Yu.
But the woman was not stupid.
She had personally watched Lu Yun leave carrying the bow, and now he was injured.
Who else could it have been?
Unconsciously, the way she looked at him changed.
There was admiration in her eyes, along with an indescribable sense of safety.
“Don’t run around!”
“Everyone stay where you are! It’s dangerous outside!”
Police officers rushed into the auditorium and quickly stopped the students and parents who had already reached the entrance.
Nobody was allowed to leave yet.
The authorities still needed to investigate the incident and ensure everyone’s safety.
At the same time, An Ran and Ye Cunxin had already entered the building.
The sight before them left them stunned.
Everything had happened too quickly.
While Lu Yun had been shooting down terrorists with his arrows, An Ran and Ye Cunxin had been occupied by the gunman at the entrance and had missed the entire battle.
“What happened here? Who killed them?”
Ye Cunxin turned to He Lu, who had just arrived.
“See for yourself.”
He Lu handed over her communication device and played the footage of Lu Yun’s confrontation with the terrorists.
After watching it, both An Ran and Ye Cunxin stood frozen in disbelief.
Without another word, the two women rushed in opposite directions, charging up to the second floor to search for the mysterious archer.
After searching every corner, they found only shattered wooden arrows and a broken longbow.
The mysterious expert himself had completely disappeared.
“He escaped?”
He Lu frowned.
“The area is under such heavy lockdown. How did he get away?”
An Ran was puzzled and somewhat unwilling to give up.
“It’s normal,” He Lu replied.
“A person capable of something like this must possess incredible stealth skills. Besides, the people outside are police officers, not special forces. Even I could probably slip away under these circumstances.”
Ye Cunxin began analyzing the situation.
“Judging from his actions, he’s definitely an expert. He probably isn’t one of our soldiers, because he obviously didn’t have a gun and had to improvise with the bows stored here.”
She paused before continuing,
“But he clearly understood how these terrorists operated. He knew their combat helmets protected their foreheads, so every arrow targeted their eyes instead.”
“That means he’s definitely not an ordinary person. At the very least, he’s had military training. He might even be a mercenary who has fought overseas.”
Then He Lu suddenly added,
“There’s another possibility.”
The other two women turned toward her.
“He could be someone like the terrorists—someone from another organization who came here looking for the same thing, just from a different faction.”
“What exactly were they searching for?”
An Ran murmured.
“I don’t know.”
Ye Cunxin shook her head.
“Let’s go check on Lu Yun first.”
He Lu put away the device.
“Right.”
The three women immediately headed toward Lu Yun’s location.
