Chapter 31: The Devil in Rashomon
The long-awaited earthquake broke out in the center of the city again, and without the slightest warning, it swept with a violent storm, and the dark clouds above the whole city were thick and low, and countless cracks appeared in the ground, and slowly spread in all directions.
The underground gym located deep underground felt even deeper, the dim incandescent lights above their heads rattled, and finally exploded with a bang, countless people let out screams, and ran up the stairs like crazy, if it was a little later, they would really be drowned in the ruins with this underground gym.
The staff of the underground boxing gym was also swept away in the blink of an eye, except for Tan Hao, who was still sitting in the lounge located deep underground, he was very nervous, his back was tightly leaning against the back of the chair, and sweat was already covering his forehead, but he was surprisingly surprised without any surprised look.
Because he has known for a long time that he has obtained that kind of power beyond ordinary people, and he also betrayed his brother, according to the morality of the rivers and lakes, he must be the kind that is not a pity to die.
And at this time, retribution came, he could feel that this was not an earthquake, since he got that strange stone, Tan Hao understood that there was something in the world that he couldn't understand at all, and at this moment, that thing that was nearly a hundred times stronger than himself came here, and his eyes were locked on him, and when he would give him a fatal blow.
It's just that Tan Hao doesn't regret it this time, the only thing he feels guilty about is that he is sorry for Lu Xiaodao, but fortunately, he still has a lot of money left in his hand, as long as he hands over these relics to Lu Xiaodao, then he has no regrets even if he dies.
At this time, his mobile phone rang like crazy, Tan Hao saw the name of the caller, Yixi, connected the phone, and someone came from inside, "Tan Hao, are you still in the underground boxing gym? Hurry up and run, that weird ....."
"Shut up!" Tan Hao suddenly interrupted that voice viciously, and said seriously word by word: "Lu Xiaodao, I'll tell you, you have to remember the next words for me word by fuck, if you forget a word, I won't let you go!"
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly quieted, Tan Hao leaned on the back of the wooden chair in the lounge, the shaking around him became more and more frequent, he licked his lips and took a deep breath, trying to calm down his tone, "Do you remember the compartment in my drawer?" I put four bank cards and a piece of paper in it yesterday, and I wrote down all the card number, password and amount on paper, you should hurry up and get it now, it adds up to a little more than three million, and there are 300,000 cash I put in the wooden mezzanine under the bed, and put it in a gray suitcase, this money is enough for you to pay for four years of school! Didn't I say shut up, I didn't plan to look for death, I only went to death when I was fucking sick!"
The air around him is completely gone, Tan Hao has to gasp for breath, the stormy Weiya is as sad as water, his heartbeat is beating rapidly as if it is about to burst, he gritted his teeth and said softly: "Brother, I am sorry for you in this life, stay away from the CBD area, never come over, get out of here with the money, don't run here to pretend to be a hero, I don't know you yet, you are just a coward, coward, I am much better than you at this point, so ah....." Tan Hao wiped the tears in his eyes that he didn't know when, and instructed: "Be tough when you encounter things in the future, you are already a man!"
The shouts of Lu Xiaodao were still coming from the other end of the phone, and Tan Hao hung up the phone directly.
The entire basement was empty, the crowd had run back to the surface, countless cheap white paint had begun to fall from the roof with the vibration, the door of the lounge had dispersed into a pile of sawdust, and the shadow of a man appeared around the corner at the end of the sight, floating like a demon.
Tan Hao thought to himself that he was really going to hang up now, he couldn't escape from this basement at all, if he dared to run away with everyone before, then the attack should have been launched in advance, and the people who died here were all the people in this underground boxing gym, although Tan Hao didn't think these people were good people, but he still couldn't bother to pull them to be buried together, after all, they were all raised by their fathers and mothers.
Fortunately, he has indeed been mentally prepared for a long time, from the first moment he discovered the ability of that strange stone, so he has arranged all his possessions in the past two months, everything is so perfect, and Lu Xiaodao will find that he has become a rich man inexplicably after his death, I hope he can muster up his courage to pursue the girl he likes, and no longer act like a fool all day long, with an indifferent attitude towards everything.
Tan Hao actually knows Lu Xiaodao best, and the indifference that Lu Xiaodao pretends to be is actually inferiority, from the inferiority complex in his bones, he feels that he is not qualified for anything at all, so he simply puts on an indifferent appearance.
I remember the first time we met, Tan Hao was leading a group of friends to play ball on the court, and suddenly there was a little kid who couldn't figure out the history, with shabby clothes and dry eyes looking at the ball under their feet, although the guy was taller than Tan Hao, who was seven or eight years old, but his aura was simply not a level, and he was a guy who couldn't feel hostile and threatening at all, but it was a pity that all the friends present didn't pay attention to this guy of unknown origin, only Tan Hao asked if he wanted to come together? And then he spent eighteen years with this guy called Lu Xiaodao. After getting acquainted, the court is the happiest place to go every day, so when a group of senior guys in the back wanted to snatch the court, Tan Hao regained the possession of the court at the cost of two front teeth and a swollen nose and face.
No way, the younger brother is the younger brother, Shen Huang has always regarded himself as the boss of Lu Xiaodao, but when he was a child, he Tan Hao was the guy who always covered Lu Xiaodao, after all, that guy seemed to always have a strange and fearful feeling of the world, if he got the spirit stone of unknown origin, in addition to worrying every day, he would definitely find an opportunity to throw it away, and he didn't have the courage to use this weird power to do anything, but he was different, his courage has always been greater than Lu Xiaodao, so he seized the opportunity to earn money that he and Lu Xiaodao couldn't earn in a lifetimeใ
That's enough, everything is enough!
Tan Hao suddenly changed his mind, even if he wanted to die, he couldn't die so much, he knew that this illegal underground boxing gym also had an extremely hidden elevator escape door, which could quickly lead to the open space.
Tan Hao gritted his teeth and stood up, dragging his completely stiff and numb legs, and ran towards the emergency escape elevator with all his might.
.......
"Stupid, stupid. Stupid! It's okay to say these stupid things like last words. Lu Xiaodao took his mobile phone and ran desperately on the highway three streets away from the center of the CBD, his eyes subconsciously reddened, as if he had seen the ending.
The sudden rainstorm swept down from the sky, and the entire fallen city began to rattle, accompanied by the faint thunder in the dark clouds, and the feeling of depression was even heavier.
Because of the torrential rain and the earthquake, all the cars on the highway have stopped, and the whole city is congested, and the road trail is rushing and jumping on the hood of every car, and each jump splashes countless water, like a hare running in the field. This scene obviously caused the dissatisfaction of countless car owners, who honked their horns one after another, and even more grumpy guys opened the car window and scolded the road.
It's just that at this moment, Lu Xiaodao turned a blind eye to these words, as if he was crazy and rushed on the highway in this small city with tens of thousands of people, although he didn't know what the effect of his going, but he couldn't stop, as if if he didn't go, it would be something he would regret for the rest of his life.
And he has only a few friends in his life, how can he throw them away casually!
Behind him, the middle-aged man in a black coat followed him like this, and every light footstep could always fall on the place where the road trail had fallen before, very elegant and chic, but no one noticed.
He looked up at the sky as if the end of the world was about to end, black clouds were lower, and torrential rain was coming.
"I've heard that the devils in Rashomon are often scared away by the ferocity of human nature. He narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled softly at the boy in front of him.
.....
The seventeenth floor of the Starfall Hotel.
Countless computers are placed in a large conference room, and every controller's finger is rapidly tapping on the keyboard, looking solemn.
"There is a violent energy response in the center of the CBD, which should be above A+ according to the psionic level, and there is a tendency to increase more and more. A young woman with a baby's face looked up and shouted.
"No, if it continues like this, it will produce a huge explosion of energy like the destruction of the city, and it must be stopped in time. โ
"As expected, it's Carl, this guy actually ran to the CBD again, is this ready to kill?"
A man with glasses with a steady expression sat in the center of the conference room, and immediately said, "Contact Lin Miaoran immediately." โ
"Commissioner Lin Miaoran just got in touch with us three minutes ago, saying that he was already on his way there, and told us to wait with peace of mind, evacuate the crowd, and turn off all the instruments that can record images around us by the way. The first young woman to speak said, "Mr. Zegi, do we need support?"
"There is no need to notify everyone, fully transfer the masses in the city center, and evacuate everyone from the CBD building within fifteen minutes!"
The man with glasses walked by the huge floor-to-ceiling window, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window, even here, he could vaguely see the terrifying scene in the city center, the rain fell on the window like a stone, and the clouds slowly formed a huge whirlpool above the city center, dark and bottomless, as if some monster would come out of it.
The young woman distributed all the tasks, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "Mr. Zeji, don't you really need to do anything?"
"No need, in the past, it was because Karl's whereabouts were uncertain, so he needed to be cautiously arrested, but now he is not ready to hide, then there is really no need, because that woman...."
Mr. Zeji was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked, "Have you ever been to the Divine Spirit Temple?"
The baby-faced woman smiled and said, "I yearn for it, but I don't have the qualifications to see it." โ
"Well, then I suggest you really should take a trip. With his hands behind his back, Mr. Zegi looked into the distance and whispered, "That's really a bunch of monsters." โ
