Chapter 9: The Missing Bullet

Matthew struggled to move his body, his head against an exhaust pipe, barely supporting his upper body, his forehead covered in sweat and mud. Akita saw these things in his eyes, but he didn't organize them much.

Matthew coughed continuously for a while and said, "Whether you admit it or not, to a certain extent, you and I are the same people, with our own abilities and ideals, but in the end we are only reduced to the point of being used by others. ”

Akita sneered: "Hmph, do you think that I will fall into such a field like you?"

Matthew laughed: "Otherwise? Could it be that you think that you will be like the protagonist in the movie story, defeat all enemies, embrace beauty, and eventually become a complete winner in life? ”

With that, Matthew's eyes widened in a look of extreme madness.

"Do you think you're still a normal human being?"

Hearing this, Akita's body trembled suddenly, and his face became a little pale. Although he knew in his heart that this was Matthew's words to disturb his mind, Akita had to admit that what he said was right.

Since Matthew opened his mouth, he naturally didn't give Akita extra time to think, and continued: "Actually, you have one of the best examples, and that is Hugo. I don't know how much you know about him, but when he first became a blasphemer, he was just a low-key hot-blooded teenager who wanted to eradicate evil, but look at what he looks like now? Haha, the notorious wanted criminal in the Tsukishima Metropolitan Police Department, it is said that his reward for reporting is several times higher than mine, and he has been present in many incidents. ”

After that, Matthew stopped, looked at Akita with interest, and said, "What do you think Hugo will end up with?" Akita's lips opened slightly, but he couldn't say half a word.

At this moment, Matthew finally closed his eyes and stopped talking, and Akita's face became more and more difficult to see.

After a moment, Matthew opened his eyes again, and all he saw was Akita's intricately distorted face.

Matthew said: "I don't know who was kidnapped by Zhuge tonight, but it seems that it should be someone who is closer to you, what I want to remind you is that what you care about needs to be guarded by yourself and handed over to others... Hum. Matthew's sneer made Akita's mood even more complicated.

Matthew continued: "It is the most cowardly expression to leave one's fate to others, and it is even more cowardly to rely on others to rescue those you cherish when you are in danger. Besides, I'm a big believer in Hugo's murderous water, and I won't protect anything... Hehe, I really don't dare to compliment it. ”

Previously, in the safe house, Hugo had inadvertently expressed to Matthew the tragic death of his beloved, and Matthew infiltrated it intentionally or unintentionally to strengthen the truth of his words.

Matthew's words made Akita's mind extremely confused, he was already concerned about Shiba's safety, and Matthew's demagogy caused him to be even more restless like an ant on a hot pot.

Matthew knew that this was the only thing he could do at the moment, and the next thing could only rely on Akita's own choice, and at this time, Matthew's heart actually rose with anxiety.

After pondering for a moment, Akita seemed to have made up his mind and said: "I have to admit that your words do make my heart move, but don't try to take the opportunity to escape from my hands, I will take you with me, as long as you make the slightest move, I will kill you at the first time!"

Matthew smiled when he heard this: "Listen to me." ”

...

The dull sound of gunfire rang out in the hospital room, beating everyone's hearts and nerves like a heavy drum.

Zhilan's bloodshot eyes widened, and a bitter wail erupted from her throat.

Hugo couldn't believe his eyes, he didn't expect Zhuge to be so decisive and swift in his revenge, it can be said that he left no room for anything, and shot Zhizhi at the first time Hugo appeared.

Even if Hugo had the ability to reach the sky, it was impossible to stop Zhuge from shooting at Zhizhi at such a short distance. In an instant, Hugo's brain also fell into a blank, not knowing what to do next, and how to explain it to Akita?

The moment the bullet burst out of the chamber, Zhuge felt a strong sense of revenge in his body and mind, and he felt the saddest despair that burst out of their hearts at that moment despite the changes in the expressions of Hugo and Zhilan.

At that moment, Zhuge gained an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

It's just that this satisfaction didn't last too long, and in an instant, Matthew felt that Zhizhi's body in his arms could still feel the power and elasticity of life, and his bullet didn't break Zhizhi's head, and it didn't even seem to cause any damage to Zhizhi.

Here's what's going on!

Zhuge stared at him in astonishment.

Not only Zhuge was aware of this matter, but Hugo and Maso Zhilan, who were present, were also aware of this problem, although the three of them also had no reasonable answer in their hearts, but Hugo knew that this was the best time for him to rescue Zhizhi.

said that it was too late, Hugo's body rushed violently, and before he could blink an eye, he arrived in front of Zhuge and shot like lightning to Zhuge on his forehead.

Zhuge was shocked and pushed Zhizhi in his arms suddenly, and pointed it straight towards Hugo's fingers.

Seeing this, Hugo hurriedly withdrew his move and changed his hand, turning his fingers into palms and pinching them directly on Zhizhi's pink neck, at the same time, Zhuge retreated obliquely, and when he retreated, he aimed the muzzle of the gun at the back of Zhizhi's heart again, pulled the trigger and fired three shots in a row.

Hugo grabbed Zhizhi with his hand, and at the same time stretched out his arm to protect Zhizhi behind him, and used his body to hold the three shots for Zhizhi.

However, when the bullet was less than ten centimeters away from Hugo, the pitch-black bullet seemed to be covered with a transparent coat, and its shape became distorted and transparent, and then this distorted situation disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace of it at all.

Seeing this scene, both Hugo and Zhuge were surprised, but the difference was that the former quickly realized the reason, but the latter could only sigh that the general trend had gone.

Obviously, Zhuge just nodded that shot was defused by this same method, and there must be another blasphemous person with this ability.

Zhuge scolded himself in his heart for being too underestimated and underestimating the enemy, but now he has no way to redeem his disadvantage, so he can only grit his teeth and press the strength of his body even back.

But when he heard the sound of "boom", Zhuge had already broken out of the door, and then rolled on the spot and fled.

After Zhuge escaped from the ward, Hugo's palm on Zhizhi's neck was released, and he quickly slid to his waist, and at the same time dragged it hard, so that he and Zhizhi's positions were reversed, so that Zhizhi was in a safer state.

At this moment, Zhizhi had just escaped the catastrophe, and her eyes were wide, obviously not yet reacting to what was happening in front of her.

Seeing Zhizhi being so frightened, Hugo said in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, everything has passed, and now it's all safe, safe." ”

At this time, Zhilan pounced like a tiger guarding her cubs, snatched Zhizhi out of Hugo's arms, and hugged her in her arms.

Perhaps it was because he felt the familiar temperature and breath on Zhilan's body, and Zhizhi's dead eyes finally flashed with a hint of brilliance. But listen to a cry of wow.

"Sister!"

Immediately, Zhizhi was completely in pain in Zhilan's arms.

Zhilan's eyes also had tears in her eyes, her palm gently brushed the top of Zhizhi's head, and comforted her softly: "Good sister, it's all sisters who are bad." Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's safe now, it's safe. ”

Words of comfort were spoken, and at the same time, Zhilan raised her head and looked at Hugo with a complicated gaze.

Hugo smiled awkwardly and shrugged his shoulders, at this time he didn't mean to ask Zhilan for credit, in any case, the reason why this happened now is because of his own reasons, if it weren't for the conflict between himself and the Glass family, Zhuge This madman would definitely not find the two Zhilan sisters.

The room fell into a noisy peace, Hugo looked at the black mecha man in front of him, he knew that this was the knight of "Arthur", although Hugo knew that there was no one in the driver, but still smiled and nodded at it.

Marceau, on the other hand, turned a blind eye to Hugo's overtures, of course, it was not because he was cold and arrogant, but because at this time his heart was already filled with another name full of hatred, and Marceau, who was in his heart, only wanted to find this person and then completely break him into pieces.

At this moment, the space not far from Hugo's side began to distort, as if some kind of cracked black hole was about to suddenly grow there. Sure enough, it didn't take long for a human figure to form in that distorted space, and the quasi-instantaneous sword humanoid became more and more elaborately carved, and then the space distortion ended, and a very young person rarely appeared in the room.

This person is none other than Xiaojie of the Manyan Society.

Just now, at the moment when Zhuge shot Zhizhi with his last three shots and disappeared into thin air, Xiaojie's face appeared in Hugo's mind.

As the youngest core figure in the entire Manyan Society, Xiaojie's strength should never be underestimated. Xiaojie on weekdays always looks like he is not sad about everything, and Hugo sees him playing his own game console most of the time, but it is really wrong to judge only by his appearance.

At the beginning of the ninth district, the inner bone Maugham wanted to escape through the window after being completely recognized, and it was at that time that Xiaojie showed his ability, and he instantly distorted and tampered with the space inside and outside the window, although it looked no different from reality, but in fact, Maugham had completely entered a time seal that could not be broken, or it could never escape from the clock room, and could only stay where he was.

In Hugo's impression, there are only a handful of people who can comprehend and control the laws of space.

Members make spatial leaps through their respective natal cards, and most of these are not their own blasphemous abilities.

According to Paper Kite, there are only two desecrators known to him who can master space, one is the Great Arka member of TAROT, and the other is Xiaojie.

Of course, there is another person in Hugo's mind, that is Sayuri, who once chose to escape under the joint attack of Hugo and Tian Terrier, and the way used is to open up a spatial passage.

But in any case, the only person who really helps him now is Xiaojie.

Xiao Jie still had the same bland expression of honor and disgrace as before, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him.

Hugo shook his head and smiled, "Thank you." ”

Xiao Jie shook his head disappreciatively and said, "No thanks, these are all deserved, your kindness to the Manyan Society is not something that can be repaid with just four bullets." ”

Obviously, Xiaojie is really referring to Hugo's healing of the paper kite, and in the eyes of the members of the Comic Research Society, the paper kite is the god they rely on, and Hugo is the one who gives them hope again.

Hugo said, "When did you arrive?"

Xiaojie said: "It's not a long time, it's about the same as you." It's just that the situation is special, and I didn't have time to say hello to you. ”

Hugo smiled: "Your shot did surprise me, but it was a really good feeling." Then Hugo said, "Did the others come?" and Xiaojie nodded.

"It's almost all here, but the environment here is a bit special, so I only came in to check the situation. ”

Hugo frowned slightly when he heard this, and at this time, Xiaojie turned his head to look at Zhilan, who was still holding his sister and crying, and said, "There are a lot of people from the nine places who came this time. ”

Zhilan's expression became a little strange when she heard this, and she naturally understood the meaning of the strange boy in front of her.

The current situation has shifted from the imminent danger of the moment to an even more dangerous confrontation.

He was abducted for a long time, which not only alarmed the side of the Metropolitan Police Department, but also affected nine places. In any case, the Nine Divisions will inevitably do their best to save their own teammates. But at this time, Hugo and other desecrators are also mixed in, causing the form to become more complicated.

It can be said that Zhuge who escaped temporarily is no longer the protagonist of this scene, and the protagonist has become a contest between the desecrate and the hunter.

Zhilan bit her lip and said, "You guys will capture me and threaten me nine times to get out!"

Obviously, Zhilan's attitude showed that she was on Hugo's side at this time, and Zhizhi's mood in her arms had just eased, and when she heard this, she also felt the grim trend of the situation on the scene, so she immediately stopped crying and called Sister Sheng in a daze, and then turned her eyes to Hugo.

Seeing this, Hugo suddenly smiled lightly and said: "I understand your kindness, but it's better to use you as a hostage to threaten me, I won't let a female patient help me get out, besides, I think even if I use you as a bargaining chip, there will be people who don't buy it." ”
