May 31, 2003, 19:46 p.m., New York, rain.

The rain poured down on New Yorkers for the weekend, and the bustling streets were mostly unarmed, and even the occasional umbrella flower withered under the weight of the torrential rain......

Everyone was running with their heads down to find shelter from the rain, and no one would raise their heads to meet the rain, and naturally no one would see a black shadow cut through the suffocating rain curtain and fall silently on the glass façade of the Union Bank Building.

The glass façade, which was already as smooth as a mirror, was drenched by the rain, making it more difficult to focus on the smoothest ice surface, but the black shadow only lightly touched the outer wall, and the body drew a graceful arc in the rain curtain, and rose a full three stories before falling back to the outer wall due to exhaustion...... The continuous rain didn't seem to put any pressure on the shadow, and it climbed to half the height of the building in a few ups and downs, and it looked like it would take only a few more repetitions to climb to the top of the building.

Just as the black shadow fell on the glass wall again, a sudden change occurred, and the glass he chose as the landing spot suddenly exploded into shards, and the sharp edges and corners reflected the neon brilliance, mixed with splashing raindrops flying towards the black shadow's falling body.

The black shadow seemed to have expected this change, and its body took a strange turn in mid-air, just so that these beautiful and murderous fragments fell on another piece of glass. I couldn't see his expression clearly in the heavy rain, but I could only vaguely feel that he seemed to smile a little, and then bounced up to the right again.

The attacker obviously knew that this level of attack would not have any effect, and before the flying glass shards had dispersed, a white figure had already shot out of the shattered glass exterior wall, chasing after the black shadow at a speed not inferior to that of the black shadow.

This time, the rise and fall of the black shadow is no longer straight up and down like just now, but draws a zigzag irregular route in the air from left to right, and the white shadow is the same, but the leaping direction is always the opposite of the black shadow, and its swiftness is even a few points better than the black shadow- The two diametrically opposed figures stretched out on the wall like two lightning bolts, each time they collided together, they would stir up a mist in the sky, and the powerful impact of each impact would always cause the two to slide backwards on the smooth exterior wall for a short distance, and then collide again along a strange route, and the glass façade at the impact was also implicated, the light one appeared a few cracks, and the heavy one would end up in pieces.

In fact, every collision between the two figures was done in an instant, so short that a bystander would miss it in the blink of an eye, provided that someone could witness the incredible chase, of course. As the speed of the impact increased, the two figures continued to rise, and finally after the last violent collision, they both crossed the edge of the roof, and their bodies, which had nowhere to draw their strength, drew the same perfect curve in the air, and landed on the roof of the building almost simultaneously.

The roof of the Union Bank Building is different from that of ordinary high-rise buildings, there are no raised buildings such as elevator equipment rooms, and it is flat like a playground, with a yellow "H" sign in a circle in the center, which is designed to facilitate the take-off and landing of armed escort helicopters transporting cash. The automatic drainage device at the edge of the roof has already been activated, but in such a rare rainstorm now, the drainage device running at full load can only ensure that the water level on the roof does not rise, and it is difficult to drain the stagnant water, so the roof has always maintained a shallow layer of stagnant water, and the rain ripples everywhere, which looks like it has a different meaning.

It's a pity that the two people who fell on the roof of the building didn't have the leisure to enjoy this rare beauty, and when they were evenly matched, neither dared to take each other's every move lightly......

"Bartolomai, don't you think this scene in front of you is a little familiar?" the dark shadow didn't speak loudly, but the noisy sound of rain couldn't stop his voice from reaching the white shadow's ears.

The white shadow known as "Bartolomai" is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties, with short light blonde hair and a square face, he looks calm and mature, especially those light blue eyes, even the rain can't stop the firm light shot from them; It stands to reason that wearing such a trench coat in such bad weather, you don't have to fight as fiercely as just now, as long as you walk casually, you may be splashed with mud spots, but you can't find a single mud spot on this trench coat, even if it is small, and the whole trench coat is as white as if it has just been taken out of the dry cleaning machine!

If you look closely, you will find that Bartholomaius's body is faintly emitting a faint white light, and the torrential rain that pours from the air cannot even fall on him, and it turns into mist as soon as it comes into contact with the white light. So Bartholomew didn't even get a single hair wet, and standing in the middle of a rainstorm was as refreshing as standing in the sun on a sunny afternoon with a breezy day.

Compared with Bartoro, the image of the black shadow is a little miserable - the clothes on his body have long been soaked by the rain, clinging to his body, and he can barely distinguish that it should be a shirt and a pair of trousers, and the black hair that has also been baptized by the rain keeps flowing downward, forming a small waterfall, completely blocking the face of the black shadow.

If there is anything that can compare to Bartholomai on the embarrassed black shadow, it is of course the mysterious black eyes - it is raining heavily, it is night, but the pure black eyes exude a magic behind the "waterfall" that cannot be ignored, if you look a little closer, you will even find that there is an unknown brilliance slowly rotating in the depths of the eyes......

Looking at the dark shadow in front of him, Bartholomew fell into silence - this scene was of course familiar, his first encounter with him was in such a rainstorm, on top of a tall building, but the young man who was not afraid of tigers when he was born has now grown into a strong man who can compete with him.

"Youda, do you really want to choose betrayal, betray our common ideals, like your code name?" Barthoromaeus was silent for a long time before slowly spat out his question. He naturally knew in his heart that this question was actually meaningless, because the nine companions before him had all asked the same question, and the "Yuda" in front of him had never given them an answer.

Just as Bartholomai had expected, the dark shadow known as "Yuda" did not answer his question, and the face behind the "waterfall" seemed to smile bitterly, but Barthoromaeus did not see it clearly through the rain.

After waiting for a long time and not waiting for the answer he wanted, Barthoromaeus sighed silently, and the white light on his body suddenly became a little stronger: "Since you don't want to say it, then defeat me! You have already defeated nine people, you only need to defeat me and Philip to get the freedom you want......"
