With just a light flick of her foot, like kicking a shuttlecock, at the bottom of those cash bundles, she sent them spinning precisely into the sack Serie had already opened.
Although her good friends had already plundered most of the place, there were still enough stragglers to fill Serie's sack to the brim.
At the same time, even though the explosion's fire wave was slowed down countless times by the time stagnation, it still resembled a slowly crawling magma beast, its rolling, roaring fiery "fangs" having approached within less than two meters of her heels.
The scorching heat, even through the stagnant time, caused Serie a burning pain.
After collecting all the cash, Serie wasted no more time and sprinted towards the bank lobby.
Serie quickly scanned the lobby—
Found them!
They were behind the central counter.
Several staff members in bank uniforms were tied up tightly with rough ropes, like startled sculptures.
Their expressions were still frozen at the moment they heard the massive explosion deep within the bank; their mouths were just opening wide, their pupils were contracting, their terrified screams were still caught deep in their throats, and their bodies hadn't even had time to make the instinctive reaction of curling up.
Even at the brink of life and death, Serie couldn't help but mischievously think of a certain series of island nation films.
Too bad, I only rob money!
I don't even have the tools to rob people for pleasure...
The more I talk, the more I want to cry...
The world should be grateful that the person who gained such an ability is just a rebellious young girl, and not some repressed perverted old man, otherwise it wouldn't just be cash that was stolen, but other things.
While grumbling internally, saving people was still the priority.
Serie transformed into a bluish-purple lightning bolt and instantly appeared behind the counter.
She scooped up a female teller with one arm, like carrying a sack of flour, and slung her over her shoulder.
Before the female teller could react, she had already been rudely carried out of the bank through the side employee passage.
Outside the bank at this time, a dozen police cars were haphazardly blocking the street, the red and blue police lights frozen into a dazzling halo.
Dozens of fully armed police officers were like exhibits in a wax museum—
Some were bending down at an extremely slow speed, leaning on car doors to seek cover; some had their mouths wide open, frozen in the act of shouting into megaphones; the line of riot shields was only half set up.
They were poised, ready to negotiate with the robbers, completely unaware that the real robbers had long since escaped.
Only a poor scapegoat was left to deal with the mess.
Further away, the arms of the onlookers holding up their phones were frozen mid-air.
Serie threw the female teller towards the human wall formed by the police, then turned sharply and returned to the bank lobby.
She swept past the Old Woman's side.
Serie didn't even stop running; she simply bent down and scooped her up, like picking up a light package, tucking the startled Old Woman under her arm. The Old Woman's gray hair stood on end in the electricity, and she was already brought outside the bank, placed steadily on the sidewalk.
The electric light turned back, sweeping past the form-filling counter.
Serie extended her arm, performing a standard princess carry to scoop up the stiff girl.
Her fingertips hooked incidentally, and the phone that had slipped from the girl's hand was precisely caught and "plop" stuffed back into her rigid hand.
The next second, the two had appeared by a police car, far from the explosion's epicenter.
However, the girl's frozen expression seemed... even more bewildered.
After throwing the last fat man into the police human wall, accidentally knocking over a few police officers, Serie satisfactorily clapped her hands, as if dusting them off, told them "You're welcome," and then quickly moved in the direction away from the bank.
The bluish-purple "time amber" shattered with a roar at this moment, and time resumed its normal flow.
Boom boom boom—!!!
An earth-shattering explosion finally erupted violently from deep within the bank!
Crimson tongues of fire, mixed with thick smoke and debris, wildly spewed out from the broken windows and doors.
The entire building shook violently, and the glass and walls completely turned to dust!
It must be said that these friends of hers were quite ruthless; even though Serie had already run a few miles, she still felt the ground tremble. If she had been a few steps slower, she probably wouldn't have even left a complete corpse.
But fortunately... she was unharmed, and the mission was successfully completed~
