Chapter 1342 - 1341:
Is Lin Fan finally going to get slapped in the face? The purser didn’t seem afraid of death at all—was she actually planning to go all in?The sealed vial in the purser’s hand was tiny, only about the size of a little finger, and looked like a pill.
Lin Fan stared at the thing and asked, "This is your weapon?"
The purser sneered. "You really haven’t seen the world, have you? Do you know the Military Youth Sixth Department of the United Kingdom?"
Lin Fan said, "I’ve heard of it. I’ve watched 007, I’ve watched Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible. That Military Youth Sixth Department is supposed to be one of the world’s four major intelligence agencies. So what?"
The purser said, "Then do you know that all those flashy gadgets and clever mechanisms in the movies are actually real? Thanks to high technology, these killing tools stopped being science fiction a long time ago. This little pill in my hand comes from the Military Youth Sixth Department. Once I open it, it’ll release a poisonous mist. In less than a minute, the entire cabin will be filled. It’s a type of nerve toxin—once you inhale it, you’ll collapse, pass out, foam at the mouth. In under three minutes, everyone will die in agony."
At these words, everyone’s faces had already turned deathly pale with fright.
Such a tiny thing, and it was actually this powerful!
"Oh God, I don’t want to die!"
"Help!"
"I’m begging you, can you please not do this?"
Panic swept through the cabin. Some people were shouting for help, others were begging for mercy. The poisonous mist hadn’t even been released yet, but despair had already descended on everyone’s hearts.
Lin Fan said, "So you really aren’t afraid of dying?"
The purser said, "I am afraid of dying. Everything I’ve done is for the sake of leaving myself a way out. But whether I live or not depends on one premise—that the target must be killed. If the plane lands and the target is still alive, then I die. And I’ll die horribly. I might as well die by my own hand now."
Lin Fan said, "Have you never considered that even if you die now, the target might still be alive? Have you considered the possibility—for example—that I’m the target?"
The purser’s expression changed. "You’re the...?"
If Lin Fan really was the target, and this bastard had a gas mask and became the only survivor, that would be the ultimate irony.
Lin Fan said, "Since you don’t know who the target is either, then anyone here could be the target. Naturally, that includes me."
The purser’s face turned ugly. After hearing Lin Fan say that, her hand froze and she couldn’t bring herself to open the pill. If Lin Fan was right, if Lin Fan really was the target, then she’d be dying for nothing.
Damn it, why is it that she just can’t kill Lin Fan?
The purser hated him. If Lin Fan were dead, or if he hadn’t been on this flight, she’d have finished the mission long ago. This assignment wasn’t supposed to be that hard. With her abilities, she could’ve had everyone in the palm of her hand. But because Lin Fan showed up, the difficulty had been cranked straight up to hell mode.
What was she supposed to do to manage to kill Lin Fan and kill everyone here?
Lin Fan said, "How about you put the pill down first? I’ll give you a chance to kill me."
The purser raised an eyebrow. What did Lin Fan mean by that?
Lin Fan said, "Aren’t you a special agent? I can tell your skills are pretty good. I’ll give you one hand. You can use your little dagger. If you can kill me, the situation stays under your control. This is your only chance."
Hearing that, it would’ve been a lie to say the purser wasn’t tempted. But then she thought it through—how could this bastard possibly just let her kill him? The moment he was really threatened, he’d definitely fight back and kill her instead.
She might indeed be a special agent, but she had zero desire to fight Lin Fan. It was way too risky.
Yes, Lin Fan made her deeply wary. If it weren’t for how much she feared him, she wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to try to take him out first.
"I’m not interested in that suggestion," the purser said after thinking it over, rejecting Lin Fan.
Lin Fan said, "Then what do you plan to do?"
The purser sneered. "You can’t be the target."
Lin Fan let out an "Oh" and said, "And how do you know I’m not?"
The purser said, "Even if you are the target, once you get off this plane, someone will kill you. You might be impressive, but on the United Kingdom’s soil, it won’t be your turn to act arrogant. Aside from me, there are no survivors allowed on this plane."
Lin Fan said, "What do you mean?"
The purser said, "A plane lands in the United Kingdom and almost everyone onboard dies from poisoning—that kind of big news will spread across the world fast. The people who want the target dead will naturally hear about it, and they’ll understand what happened. They’ll know I activated the contingency plan. If they find out you survived, wouldn’t they be afraid you’re the target? Of course they’ll eliminate you. That includes the captain and the copilot—they have to die too."
Lin Fan sighed. "All right, looks like you’re still going to use that thing."
The purser said, "Sorry. If you want to blame someone, blame Officer Chen for being useless and failing to find the target."
Chen Long had been kicked over by the purser. Blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth and he still couldn’t get up. Hearing what she said, he felt awful.
Lin Fan said, "Even you people don’t know who this person is. Officer Chen not finding anything is pretty normal, isn’t it?"
"Wait!"
The young white man, Simon, frowned. "You keep talking about some target. What the hell is going on?"
Everyone nodded. They really were completely lost. Even if they were going to die, they deserved to die knowing why.
Lin Fan looked at the purser. "Why don’t you tell everyone?"
The purser said, "Our mission this time is to find one person on this plane. That person is the target. Our job is to kill this target. Earlier, we gave Officer Chen a chance to identify him, but he failed. So now we can only kill everyone on the plane indiscriminately. As long as everyone dies, the target dies too."
Everyone looked at each other in shock. There was actually something like this? Who on earth was this target?
Simon said, "If you find this target, does that mean you won’t kill the rest of us?"
The purser said, "That’s right. It’s just a pity this person is basically impossible to find."
Simon glanced around at everyone, then said excitedly, "Whoever you are—the target—why don’t you just stand up? Think of it as saving everyone. We’re all going to die because of you!"
Lin Fan smiled bitterly to himself. If the target really did get identified now, the consequences would be unthinkable. Everyone else here, in order to survive, would definitely force that target to their death. The purser wouldn’t even have to lift a finger; the other passengers would kill the target themselves. Human nature cannot withstand tests. People are selfish; to save themselves, there’s nothing they won’t do.
Simon asked the purser, "Why do you say this person is basically impossible to find?"
The purser said, "Because even that person themselves might not know they’re the target. And we don’t have enough information to narrow it down. So it’s safer to just kill everyone. I’m really sorry, everyone, but I have to do this."
With that, the purser lightly pressed one end of the pill with her finger.
In the end, she still activated the poisonous mist!
