Chapter 22: Evaporating Rain
From memories to reality.
Leon's woman-filled brain still couldn't fully comprehend: "How many years have passed since the killers who assassinated you in London, and they have chased you to Liverpool, my dear brother, how much does it cost to make them so obsessed with you." ”
Qi Si had a headache how to euphemistically explain to Leon, whose brains were full of white and cloudy liquid, and it just so happened that the appearance of the young master of the Oliver family and his party made things much easier.
Kingsley's bodyguard Patcy walked on the left-hand side, dutifully holding an umbrella for his young master, and the Kapil brothers, who sold authentic Indian divine oil, held an umbrella on the right, and Young Master Kingsley walked in the center of revealing his identity with a cigarette in his mouth.
The midnight wind caused the rain to leave a little mark on Kapil's Totti and Gulda's shirts, but the Kapil brothers, who had become rich, were completely unable to care about these actions that usually made them feel distressed, and the large amount of money in front of them seemed to be beckoning to them, and what they had to do was to break through the insignificant rain in front of them to pick it up.
The two didn't talk out loud, just followed quietly behind, Leon followed Qi Si's gestures, carefully looked at the three people in front of him, and said in a low voice: "That young master smoked, this smoke is too big."
Qi Si shook his head with a smile, pointed to his clothes, and then to the bodyguard named Patsy.
Following Qi Si's gesture, Leon looked at the burly man in the suit suspiciously, there was nothing strange about it.
As he walked, Leon suddenly made a sudden stop, turned his head suddenly, stared at his brother, lowered his voice and trembled: "That bodyguard, there is not a drop of rain!"
The entire umbrella was almost on Kingsley's head, and most of Patsy's body was exposed to the rain, but the drifting raindrops fell on the bodyguard's body, leaving no trace on the suit.
"Remember the fireworks flash in the bar that was like a magic show, it was the power of the flames, and what you saw was not smoke, it was the vapor of the water being evaporated. Qi Si calmly explained to his brother, much calmer at the anomaly, and shrugged his shoulders, "So, you see, they have power beyond science, we don't need to put a bounty on it, although it is indeed a heart-warming number, they have a power that we cannot understand, and it can also explain why there is such an outrageous bounty for tasks that seem less difficult, and we are likely to take our precious lives in the face of these competitors, so it is not a good decision." ”
"Ah, my dear girls, I'm sorry. ”
Leon sadly put away his umbrella, looked up at the sky with his eyes closed, and complained with great regret about the injustice of fate, "Why did you give them wealth, and gave them the power to control it, God, have you neglected your most pious child in the whole of Liverpool." ”
Leon, who often goes to the Bar of Inn, has seen some of those powers that seem to be like magic, but his inner inferiority complex makes him extremely curious and at the same time, he has been convinced that the world is not full of supermen like in the movies.
But a seed of belief and yearning has long taken root in my heart.
"Smith, you, Ono, the church claims to be God's spokesman on earth, so do they also have such power?"
Leon, who knew he had almost said the wrong thing, hurriedly changed his tune, now they were just two little gangsters born and raised in Liverpool, and Smith was his equally inactive gangster brother, not the glorious godson he once was.
"You'd better not know that the church has strict requirements for ordinary people to exert their power, mostly because they need to be brainwashed after spectating. ”
"What about the minority, chosen by the Lord to inherit the magical powers, and then purify those evils?"
Qi Si looked at Leon, who seemed to be full of fighting spirit again, and the words in his mouth were like a torrential rain tonight, ruthlessly extinguishing the fire that Leon had just ignited.
"A few were purified and disappeared from this world, not knowing whether they returned to the arms of Jesus or Satan. ”
Leon digested for a few seconds and was stunned: "No, shouldn't the priests of the church be gentle and kind, and lead us to tender prayers together?"
Qi Si looked at Leon tenderly at this time, like looking at a lovely retarded intellectual, "Leon, what makes this world accept God is not love and peace, it is the crusaders of the Crusade, the blood of heresy, the erased infidels, and the stairs to the throne are covered with white bones that you can't see. ”
"The blood hidden by the light is the most obscure faith on the cross. ”
Leon, who had calmed down, shuddered and drew a cross on his chest with his hand and whispered, "Amen." ”
The wind blew, and Leon, who had come to his senses, hurriedly picked up his umbrella again, and said dejectedly: "Let's go, my dear brother, I hope old Gusta has already made hot tea for us." ”
"Okay. ”
Qi Si smiled slightly, and by the way, he removed a simple prohibition and a simple water curtain technique around him, which had no other effect, just to simply let the conversation between the two not be heard by others, which was the most suitable on such a rainy day.
Qi Si couldn't guarantee that the two young masters and bodyguards of the Oliver family with special powers would not hear their conversation hidden in the rain.
Leon said, "Well, let's go, I want to get this shipment back now, and then go to my lovely girls, only in this way can I heal the wounds in my heart." ”
"No problem. Qi Si agreed with a smile.
No money, no status, and most terrifyingly, no future in sight.
Leon always knew that his brother, who seemed to linger with women all day long, seemed to forget for a moment only when he conquered women, and the days of darkness like a rat in the underground tunnels.
The two quickened their footcloth and walked towards the port.
Five minutes later, a loud whistle came from the side of the street, "Wow, let's see who this is?"
Three people in ripped jeans, pierced ears, nose rings, and tattoos on their arms and necks, which at a glance knew were bad actors, appeared on the street corner.
Strangely, the man who spoke just now, a thug in a shabby trench coat, held the only umbrella in his hand, but he didn't open it, and the three of them just let the rain fall on themselves.
The man in the blue hooded sweatshirt next to him chimed in, "Isn't this our male in heat Leon and his favorite brother Smith." ”
The last pigtailed thug cried out, "Did you say that Leon was with his brother when he didn't have a woman?" ”
"Hahahaha, that's for sure, tsk, two big men, it's disgusting. ”
"Rodney, your merciful mother gave birth to you three brutes so that you could die tonight. Leon pulled the dagger from his waist and lunged forward.
"Wait. Qi Si grabbed Leon, looked at the three of them who were obviously a little abnormal, and asked, "What are you three goddamn scum doing here, praying that God will kill you with thunder?"
