Leitao took advantage of the chaos to dash toward the entrance of the secret passage. Once inside, he summoned the semi-automatic drum repeating crossbow from the Bagua Spinning Top Space. This crossbow featured a unique design with an intricate mechanical structure, allowing it to be loaded with multiple bolts at once.
Leitao slipped into the dim, damp passage. He took out the semi-automatic drum repeating crossbow from his pack; its metal body radiated a cold, stark luster. The refined craftsmanship signaled a weapon of extraordinary quality, and its semi-automatic design ensured it remained silent and incredibly efficient in use.
As Leitao crept forward with caution, a faint sound of footsteps reached his keen ears. He froze instantly, pressing his body against the wall like an agile panther, holding his breath until he seemed to merge with the dark masonry. A moment later, two Japanese Army patrolmen wandered by, oblivious, their gazes unfocused as they muttered in Japanese. The instant they passed him, a cold light flashed in Leitao’s eyes. He squeezed the trigger, and the bolts whistled through the night like specters, piercing the throats of the two soldiers with surgical precision. Before they could even utter a cry, they collapsed, eyes wide and hands clutched at their necks, their bodies hitting the ground with a dull thud.
