Because it was their first time robbing a bank.
And they weren't very proficient in the business.
So, Xu Mo could only imitate a line from a movie he had seen about robbing a bank.
"Everyone, get down on the ground and don't move, this is a bank robbery!"
"Yeah, bank robbery! Get down, everyone!" Yang Jingxuan also shouted along.
But compared to Xu Mo,
Yang Jingxuan seemed more excited.
After all, she had been looking forward to this for a long time.
This was a bank robbery!
Real-life GTA!!
Not being excited would be strange.
...
The people in the bank lobby were all stunned.
Then they looked at the two girls and a boy at the door.
But their gazes only lingered on the three of them for a moment before quickly looking away.
Almost everyone in the bank.
Did not believe that Xu Mo and the others were robbing the bank.
Because the three of them looked completely out of place compared to the desperados who rob banks.
In fact, everyone even took Xu Mo and the others as lunatics.
"Haha... Robbing a bank? Doesn't this only happen in movies?"
"What era is it, still robbing banks?"
"These three don't look like bank robbers at all, could they be mentally ill?"
"Of course, they must be, can normal people rob banks?"
"What a shame, so young and already lost their minds..."
"Isn't there a mental hospital nearby? Where did these three come from?"
"Maybe they just went crazy, should we call the mental hospital and take them back..."
..."
People started chattering.
Every word was heard loud and clear by Xu Mo and the others.
"Xu Mo, they're calling us lunatics!" Yang Jingxuan complained to Xu Mo with a pout.
Xu Mo's face darkened.
"I heard."
After a pause, Xu Mo took off the backpack on his back.
From the backpack, he took out a bomb.
"I have a short fuse... Everyone better get down on the ground! If anyone dares to move, I'll blow you all to hell! You have three seconds, get down and put your heads down, or else I'll pull the trigger!"
This sentence was almost yelled out by Xu Mo.
The people who were laughing and joking just a second ago.
All froze.
Was this tone... really that of a lunatic?
Doesn't seem like it.
Whether the bomb in Xu Mo's hand was real or fake.
The people didn't know either.
Of course, they could choose to gamble.
Gamble that Xu Mo was a lunatic.
This wasn't a bank robbery at all.
But rather the antics of a lunatic.
Gamble that the bomb in Xu Mo's hand was fake.
Just a prop that won't explode.
But...
They didn't dare to gamble!
If they win, they gain nothing.
But if they lose, they lose their lives.
What if, Xu Mo was really a ruthless robber?
"Three!" Xu Mo started counting down.
In the bank, some people had already crouched down in fear.
"Two!"
There wasn't much time left for people to think.
Only the last second.
Those who had already crouched down, because of fear, began to pull the people around them down as well.
"Hurry up and get down! Do you not value your lives?!"
"Why are you standing? Get down! Do you all not care about your lives?"
“Everyone, quickly follow the robber's instructions and crouch down! I don't want to die; I have responsibilities above and below... I haven't even gotten married yet! Crouch down, all of you! I haven't even had a girlfriend; I don't want to die!”
Because of Xu Mo's demeanor at this moment, he indeed resembled a fugitive, a reckless madman!
Hence, everyone felt an extremely strong sense of oppression.
Without waiting for Xu Mo to count to one.
The remaining people standing in the bank, either got pulled down by those around them or crouched down out of fear.
"Very well," Xu Mo nodded, "Stay crouched and don't move. As long as you cooperate, I won't harm you."
After saying that, Xu Mo walked towards the bank counter.
Pointing at the bank tellers, he said, "And you few, hands raised above your heads, come out and crouch."
The trained bank tellers.
At this moment, all very cooperatively raised their hands and, with a kick, disabled the one-click alarm button connected to the police.
Afterward, they slowly walked out.
The tellers were well aware.
The immediate priority now was to stabilize these three fugitives.
Delay time as much as possible.
Wait for the arrival of the police.
They had already pressed the one-click alarm button a moment ago.
The police would arrive soon.
But what they didn't know was.
Before Xu Mo arrived, he had already hacked into the bank's security system.
The one-click alarm button was already disabled.
Even if it was pressed repeatedly, the police would not receive any alerts.
Xu Mo turned to the tellers and said, "Gold bars, I want gold bars. Bring all the gold bars from your bank!"
Upon hearing this, the tellers were slightly stunned.
Gold bars?
This wasn't like what happened in movies.
Don't robbers usually prefer cash?
What's with robbing gold bars?
Seeing the tellers' lack of reaction.
Xu Mo's gaze instantly turned cold.
He immediately drew a knife from his waist.
"No one wants to cooperate, huh? You really think I'm afraid to take lives? Fine... I'll show you by taking one."
Having said that, he lifted the knife and approached one of the tellers.
The chosen teller had beads of sweat forming on their forehead instantly.
Even the speed of their heartbeat increased significantly.
Although this teller had never encountered a real fugitive.
She believed that Xu Mo was the kind of ruthless fugitive who didn't care about consequences.
One who had seen blood!
Anyone without a few lives on their hands couldn't have such a cruel gaze!
"Big brother... Big brother, don't hurt us! I'll help you get the gold bars!" The teller was genuinely scared.
She intended to go fetch the gold bars for Xu Mo.
Speaking of which, gold bars were precious.
But they didn't belong to her.
It wasn't worth risking her life for them.
The money belonged to the boss, but her life was her own.
Knowing what was more important, she made a clear decision.
"Sorry," Xu Mo licked his lips, "It's too late now."
The teller couldn't dream that even though she agreed to help Xu Mo get the gold bars.
He still had no intention of letting her go!
Her face turned pale from fear.
Her legs went weak.
She couldn't even muster the strength to stand up.
She retreated using both hands and feet.
Continuing until she reached the wall.
Realizing there was no turning back, the bank teller began to panic, crying out in desperation.
"Please spare me, please!"
But Xu Mo paid no attention to the teller's pleas. With a smirk on his face, he continued to advance toward her with the knife in hand.
The teller had nowhere to run.
Her legs had turned to jelly from fear, rendering her unable to even stand, let alone flee.
All she could do was beg for mercy.
Fortunately, one of the three robbers spoke up at this moment.
"Enough," Zhou Qiaoqiao stepped forward and grabbed Xu Mo. "You've only been out for a few days, and you already want to go back in? She's agreed to help us get the gold bars. Spare her."
Upon hearing this, the teller clung to this lifeline as if it were her last hope, nodding frantically.
"Yes, yes, I'll help you get the gold bars, just don't kill me!"
