Chapter 9: The First Mission
As night rose, a crescent moon appeared in the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe faint moonlight was hidden by the noisy city lights, like a shallow smile in a sea of people.
Hugo stood on the top floor of a building, looking down at the brightly lit city, and a gust of night wind blew Hugo's hair loosely, and the hem of his clothes danced. Hugo didn't have a trace of intoxication with this kind of cold and handsome beauty, tightened the hoodie on his body, and secretly said that he was wearing less clothes.
"Hey, Adeptus One, can you hear me?" Hugo's communication headset came a faint voice.
"I can hear you, but what is Anomalous One? Hugo protested.
"No way, who made you a superhero who just debuted, there is no hero name, maybe you will have a domineering hero name after tonight. ”
"I don't think so, Stan Lee ran out of good names in those years. ”
"Don't be discouraged, that thousand-year-old dragon will only be named by color, and he won't come up with an elegant literary name. ”
"Hehe, I didn't expect the people of Tsukishima to love me and give me a name derived from Sanskrit scriptures. ”
"Osiris, Anubis. Which of these names do you prefer?"
"What you're saying is from Egyptian culture, and it's still very closely related to mummies. ”
"Bingo, I didn't expect you to complain so sharply. Maybe you can't be a mecha knight, you can consider thinking about it in talk shows. ”
"None of this has anything to do with my immediate behavior, where do you put a superhero?"
"Haha, that's just a side hustle. Spider-Man is a student in reality, Superman is a journalist when he doesn't wear underwear, and Batman has his own family business. Usually busy with their own work, come out at the critical moment to support justice. Hugo was silent.
"Adept One... No, Hugo, what's wrong?"
Hugo smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking, maybe sometimes justice is more light than darkness." ”
The earphones also fell silent, and after a while, Hitomi's voice remembered again: "Hugo, if you regret it now, it's too late......"
Hugo shook his head, and then realized that he couldn't see it when he shook his head at this time, so he said: "It doesn't matter, my ability can't face the light in the first place, maybe this is the justice I hold." ”
If you want to defeat the darkness, you must first melt into the darkness.
Silent.
Hugo suddenly interrupted the dull atmosphere and said, "The communication voice has been very vague just now, are you eating?"
"Uh... The doughnuts I bought online taste very good, so I'll leave you a share. Hitomi stood in front of the window wearing a PMT, the virtual eyes on her eyes showing the same scenery as Hugo, holding half a doughnut in her hand and smiling awkwardly.
"No need, if you like to eat, you can eat it all, beware of getting fat. It's not too early to finish tonight's ticket, so I'll go straight home. ”
"Oh, that's right. It's late now, it's too late for your parents to worry. ”
Hugo smiled slightly and wrote lightly: "I am an orphan. ”
"Uh, I'm sorry. My consciousness is to say.... Uh, sorry. Hitomi said in a panic.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. It's just tomorrow Monday, and I'm going to school. ”
"Haha, yes. The future of Tianying's top students. Well, I'll keep a portion of the doughnut for you. ”
Hugo smiled knowingly and said, "I want to ask you one thing, the first day of the superhero's debut was dealt with by the bikers, well, is that any good point? I mean there are some famous seniors who have done the same thing." ”
"Nope. Hitomi replied cheerfully.
"Oh, it looks like I'm the first, it's an honor. ”
"Hehe, don't thank me. ”
"Thank you at all, I just want to know why. ”
"Well, you've played the game. In the early stage, the system NPC will take you through quests and gain experience to farm levels. Although your ability is eye-opening, after all, the time you can get this ability is only about forty-eight hours, and the level of control ability is still limited. So I've got you a little quest. ”
"Well, thank you, village chief. ”
"You're welcome. ”
"Report to the village chief, the gang of outlaws has arrived. ”
"Wow, really? I'm going to hack into the surveillance system right now. ”
"Don't just eat donuts, work hard. I don't want my athletic figure to make the headlines tomorrow. ”
"Rest assured, trust my skills. It's a little bit faster than I can solve a doughnut. By the way, did you buy a mask?"
"Masks, what masks?"
"Huh? Have you ever seen a superhero go out on a mission and show his face? You asked me to help you hack the surveillance system yourself without exposing it?"
"Phew, it's my fault, but it's obviously too late to go to the supermarket now, I'll go down, and then deal with it, it's really not good to beat them into amnesia. ”
"Hey, Hugo, don't mess around, you ......"
Hugo casually turned off the communication headset, and jumped down from the roof with his arms stretched forward.
"Heh, it's a nice feeling, I like it. Hugo said softly.
On the quiet street, there was a sudden unusually loud roar of integration, and then several single-person locomotives drove from afar, and the speed was amazing. The speedometer of the locomotive at the front shows an astonishing speed of Mach 1!
District 8, Khaki Road. A straight stretch of about 15 kilometers is bustling every day as the iconic business district of District 8. Within six months, however, the iconic road was overrun by a group of bikers, who organized rallies here every night for drag racing. In the past, people didn't pay too much attention to this, thinking that it was just a group of blind gangsters, and ordinary security patrols could solve it.
But as time passed, people finally realized the seriousness of the problem. The government did not directly intervene to resolve the matter, and the public security patrol police were equally silent about it, and there was not a single report on the matter in the press or media. People woke up to the fact that there was an invisible hand behind the bikers.
There were also a few people who wanted to solve the problem with their own strength, but the treatment of those who came out of the way was either dead or maimed, which eventually deterred others. After all, the tragedy of ten years ago is still vivid in people's minds, and no one dared to organize a large-scale opposition, so they could only silently endure and accept the immediate results, allowing the Viper sign of the biker party to fly through the streets, and countless traffic and violence on this section of the road every month.
However, on Hitomi's PMT terminal, there is information about the truth behind the biker. Gamblers, an underground organization that has risen in recent years. As the name suggests, the gambler's main business is gambling. In addition to traditional projects such as casinos, gambling, and online gambling, gamblers have also carried out a series of new gambling projects, and the death locomotive that occupies Khaki Road is one of the projects that the gambler has focused on recently.
This type of racing gamble is similar to traditional horse racing, but the gambling rate is extremely fast, and the modified locomotive can generally reach subsonic speeds, which is an insane number for track vehicles. The fifteen-kilometer track can be completed in under a minute, resulting in an astonishing volume of transactions. Gamblers who like to thrill and get rich in vain, black businessmen who launder money, and all kinds of outlaws gather here, and dark transactions are carried out here in an orderly manner every night.
Tonight, the gambler's biker party is still active on this section of the road. At this time, ten races have been completed, the early warm-up activities are ready, and a large number of gamblers have gathered offline and online, closely watching the results on the track in the dark.
The No. 7 red locomotive at the front is the dark horse tonight, and countless gamblers who have lost money are cursing the driver for overturning and dying, but the driver Qian Gang is very excited. The first time I officially participated in the competition, I gave everyone a surprise, I made millions of dollars in the warm-up games just now, and then I still have a few games, as long as it is carried out according to the plan arranged by the previous organization, I will be a veritable multimillionaire after tonight! Thinking about the days after the bright lights, the sound of warblers and swallows, accompanied by fine wine and beautiful women, Qian Gang couldn't help but feel bloody, excited, but listening to the roar of the locomotive and the sound of the wind rubbing the helmet in his ears felt like a beautiful woman whispering, like a fairy sound.
Suddenly, Qian Gang saw a black shadow suddenly fall not far in front of him, and hit the ground with a bang. Qian Gang was startled, and hurriedly grabbed the handlebar with his hand to prevent the locomotive from leaving the track, you must know that once the locomotive close to the speed of the plane deviates from the trajectory slightly, the car will be destroyed in an instant, and there is no possibility of survival, which is also the reason why this kind of dead locomotive is so popular.
Qian Gang scolded secretly: Which unlucky gambler is in debt and can't afford to pay back the money, so he will commit suicide by jumping off the building when he is desperate. Thinking that the gambler might have put all the money on his opponent before his death, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of Qian Gang's mouth, he deserved it! Just as Qian Gang was about to rush to the finish line first, he suddenly saw that the black shadow that had just fallen from the building suddenly flashed to his car, running alongside him.
"What!" Qian Gang couldn't believe his eyes and cried out. He has already raced the locomotive to the highest speed, reaching Mach 1 second only to the speed of sound, and "this person" actually maintains the same speed as himself with a pair of feet, is this guy a human or a ghost?
Just when Qian Gang was shocked, the figure gestured towards him to stop the action, and then Qian Gang only felt a huge force at the back of the waist to grab himself, and Qian Gang flew up when he was caught off guard, and the locomotive under the crotch slid out hundreds of meters away, and the body produced a large number of sparks under the friction of the ground, and then the fire splashed, and a huge explosion sound came, and Qian Gang's locomotive was destroyed in an instant.
Qian Gang in mid-air flipped his body, and fell heavily on the sidewalk after a few anti-empty heels, thanks to the helmet and protective clothing with good performance on his body, Qian Gang did not faint when he did not board, but he only felt a tearing pain coming from all over his body, and Qian Gang knew that he had broken at least ten bones. This was not over, and then several more figures fell down and slammed to the ground, and Qian Gang struggled to look over, and saw that it was several riders in the same company, and their locomotives were nothing more than sliding out and exploding.
"It's really... Hell..."Qian Gang scolded viciously, and finally couldn't bear the pain around him, tilted his head and fainted.
