Chapter 6: Augustine

One day ten years ago, a farm in the western state of Utah. A two-story wooden house stands in the vast green grass, a girl with long straight black hair leans on the railing of the hut with her slender jade arms, the breeze gently sweeps her face, slightly messing up her girlish hair, with sapphire blue eyes, she slowly closes her eyes to feel this pleasant everything.

"Ayi, it would be nice if we could go on like this. The girl looked at the tall and thin boy on the side, the girl's breath and eyes full of aura, so that the delicate and young boy couldn't help but look at it blankly, and then slowly held her in his arms, and rested his chin on his hair.

"Susie ......" The young man slowly called the young man's name, hugged the girl further, for fear that she would suddenly disappear from in front of him, for a long time, he left the girl's hair, held her shoulders and smiled softly: "I heard that in a few days, Phoenix will bring the boy she likes, and I am really looking forward to it!"

......

"Tianlie, you're going to fall out of favor!" a handsome young Chinese man in his mid-20s punched a tall white man across the face, then giggled and wrapped his arms covered in green dragon tattoos and three skulls around the other's neck.

"There is a saying in your Chinese culture that women don't stay!" the tall blonde white man put his backhand around the other's shoulders, "Many years ago, I always thought that Phoenix would walk with one of you, but I didn't expect that the stinky boy who ran out of the mess actually abducted my only sister like this." ”

"Do you want us to teach you a lesson?" A joking voice came from behind, and a tall and thin young man slowly walked with a smile, accompanied by a girl with long straight hair and sapphire blue eyes. Then he looked like it was a big deal, and shouted at a big white man full of muscles: "King Kong, you can show your iron pimple muscles to scare and scare later." ”

"I'm a civilized person, and I don't know the way you say it. King Kong bared his teeth, but his hand pulled up his sleeve, and then struck his fist on the steely biceps.

"Don't go too far later, who wants to be rough, see if I don't blow his head, hehe. Tianlie threatened with a smile, "If you make Phoenix unhappy, my brother won't have any good fruit to eat after he goes back, and I'll suffer, so don't think about it." ”

"Hahaha......"

"Brother!" a cheerful girl's voice came, and a girl with long blond hair shook her arm vigorously from a distance, and then pulled a tall white youth-looking man and trotted happily towards everyone.

"Hello, my name is Augustine!" the white young man politely rolled up his slightly wet sleeve and took the lead in reaching out to shake it towards Tianlie. Tianlie also smiled and stretched out his hand, but his hand was halfway into the air, and the smile on his face gradually solidified, only to see that at the wrist of the man opposite's exposed arm, a blue bird tattoo slowly protruded from the rolled up sleeve.

"Brother, what's wrong?" the girl looked at Tianlie, who suddenly stiffened her arms, and reminded, "Brother, you are very rude like this." ”

"No!" Tianlie seemed to suddenly recover from a huge shock, his face suddenly changed, and he resolutely pulled Phoenix to his side, "In the future, you two are not allowed to have any more contact, come back with me!" After speaking, Tianlie ignored everyone's stunned expressions and took the lead in pulling Phoenix away.

"Felix!" Augustine snapped out of his stunned stupor and ran in the direction that Tianlie had left.

"Brother!" Felix shook his hand fiercely and ran towards Augustine, but at this moment, a tall figure blocked her way, and even Felix could feel the deep vigilance of the person behind her.

"Hello, Qinglong!" Qinglong shook the arm tattooed with Qinglong and three skulls towards Augustin's hand tattooed with the bluebird, and Augustine suddenly stood in place as if he had been struck by lightning, looking at Qinglong with an incredulous expression, shaking hands with Qinglong mechanically, and then looking at Tianlie with a dull expression.

"Phoenix!" After a while, Augustine finally woke up from his stupor, but by this time Phoenix had already been forcibly stuffed into the car by Tianlie. He could only chase after the speeding car, helpless and confused.

......

In the room, a young man rubbed the corner of his cigarette butt back and forth with his foot while the corner of the cigarette butt remained on the ground, and at his feet was a large pile of cigarette butts.

Tianlie let out a long sigh and lay back, slumped on the couch. He was orphaned at the age of 7, when Phoenix was 4 years old, and in order to take care of Phoenix, he begged, cheated, stole ...... It wasn't until he was 8 years old that a man with a mask appeared in front of him, and his life changed completely. After waiting for Felix to become a director, he lied and said that he worked as a waiter, assistant, manager, and regional president of a multinational hotel chain. Since entering the Skull and Bones Society, he has learned everything about the organization, there is no turning back, he knows more about this hidden world, the darkness that exists than any ordinary person, he has repeatedly hidden the truth from Phoenix through lies, he will never let his own sister step into the world he is in, this is a disaster.

The world is often like this, the facts are sometimes painful, and the lies are reassuring.

......

Under the night sky of "Phoenix ......", Augustine gently hugged Felix in his arms, and after half a month of separation, the two of them in love could no longer hold back the torment. "I'm going to want your brother to agree to our thing. ”

"Inspector Augustin. A majestic figure in the office stood in front of Augustine from years ago, and Augustine couldn't look at each other with a powerful aura, and he squinted at the document in the other party's hand, feeling panic in his heart.

"Director Sark, please do it!" Augustine lowered his head, his fists clenched unconsciously, and he didn't dare to look the other party in the eye at all.

"Augustine. Director Sark slowly circled around Augustine, "Improper Detective, it's no problem, but leave the organization, you know the consequences." ”

"Director Sack......"

"Augustine, you have to think clearly about the consequences of the mutiny. As he tossed a stack of photos from a drawer on the table, Augustine couldn't help but glance at it, sweating profusely, and Phoenix's smile was imprinted in front of his eyes. "Let's make a decision in two days!"

......

One night of thunder and lightning, there was no trace of people on the road, but at this time an abrupt scene appeared here, a tall figure, a pedestrian wearing a raincoat slowly walked on the streets of New York, looking at a tall white man who had just walked out of the hotel, to five meters away from the other party, he stopped, slowly took off his rain hat, and looked at each other without blinking.

The slanting torrential rain seemed to be in the vicinity of the two of them at this moment, as if it had met a strong wind, and the powerful aura rolled up the rain on the ground, and the sudden rain burst and scattered like a huge stone thrown from a calm lake. A man with his hands covered with flames clenched his fists tightly, looking at the man in front of him who was shining with lightning and lightning, his whole body was vigilant and released the maximum.

Bang, bang, bang! A powerful collision explodes, and even the low-falling torrential rain frequently emitted a large amount of fog when it fell on the two of them, like a drop of red-hot iron dripping into a drop of water.

Augustine's heart was painful and helpless at this time, he once thought that his ability would only make him stronger, and with a better group, it would only make him stronger, he never thought that what made him desperate was precisely his supernatural ability. He knew very well that the last thing the organization could not tolerate was betrayal, not to mention that he actually had feelings for the enemy's side. Regardless of his inner and verbal promises, the organization will not have a potentially dangerous explosive element in place.

So the Order gave him the choice to either destroy Phoenix or those closest to him. In this way, Augustine can be most loyal to the side of the organization.

Boom, boom, a bolt of lightning appeared from Augustine's palm, and I saw him slash towards Tianlie with force, and the powerful energy airflow was like an iron whip in this one, and it was like hitting an ordinary person in Tianlie's chest. Immediately, a figure flew backwards from mid-air, slammed into the concrete floor hit by the torrential rain, and drew a long trail backwards, as if someone had used a forklift to scratch across the concrete pavement.

"Poof!" Tianlie couldn't help the tumbling of his heart, desperately trying to suppress the blood that was about to spurt out in his throat, but the powerful damage made him unable to restrain it anymore, his head turned to the side, and he gasped for breath. He glared at Augustine, he had never imagined that the other party would be so powerful.

Looking at Augustin's body with lightning flashing all over his body, Tianlie immediately bit his fingers and tore the clothes on his body like torn paper, and the three skulls on his chest looked even more hideous in the torrential rain. Then he slowly wiped his blood-stained fingers on one of the skulls, and suddenly a trace of flame emanated from all around his body, and from his back, he could be surprised to find that on his originally smooth back, a light fiery red phoenix pattern of oriental legend gradually appeared. At this time, there was also a circle of orange-yellow flames around the body, and a huge aura suddenly filled the surroundings.

Augustine looked at the other party with a vigilant expression, his heart that had been struggling became solemn at this moment, feeling the strong change in his breath, he shouted, and a circle of thunderballs suddenly jumped around his body, and a thunderbolt the size of a bowl suddenly appeared in the sky.

Drink! Tianlie shouted, and the figure rushed towards Augustine, the fire-like existence formed a huge encirclement around Augustin, and the strong fiery aura blasted towards Augustine with his body frantically.

Boom! Like the power of the explosion of the chemical plant, the thick lightning bolts and countless thunderballs as thick as the mouth of the bowl bombarded the circle of fire, and the huge energy impact made the heavens and the earth seem to change.

Bang! I saw a cannonball-like figure fly away, and the figure smashed back and forth on the ground a few times before stopping. Looking at Augustin's location again, I saw that his figure also smashed to the ground in an instant, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

"Augustine. In a brief moment, a majestic figure suddenly appeared beside Augustin, and he looked up at the soles of his feet, the breathless aura he knew all too well, Director Sark.

"Director Sack......"

"You know what to do. Director Sark interrupted Augustin's hesitant words, and the latter could only slowly prop up his body and walk towards Tianlie step by step, his unbearable expression gradually dissipating in his steps, replaced by a resolute expression. Dozens of lightning bolts were born from the void, and the powerful power of thunder and lightning wrapped around his body, and the torrential rain that poured from his head fell on his head as if it had encountered an invisible umbrella, sliding in all directions.

"Brother!" In the night rain, where thunder and lightning meet, a shadow suddenly ran towards Tianlie.

Augustine looked at the running figure with a face full of disbelief, and the powerful thunder and lightning power released by him was desperately trying to absorb it in his hands, but the boundless power could no longer be controlled by him. Two figures flew out at once, one of Augustine's self-injurious body flying upside down, and the other was the shadow......
