Volume 2: The Holy War of Blood Chapter 41: Rebirth
King's Road, London, England.
Dressed in an English top hat, a black English high-necked plaid trench coat and carrying a heavy tote bag, the man strolled through the streets, but his eyes were always on alert, and the slightest movement would immediately catch his eye.
"It's a shame that I can't come here for coffee in the future, and I heard that it seems to be caused by a fire caused by an aging circuit. "In front of the ruins, two men were talking enthusiastically, one of them gesturing at the ruins while feeling comfortable.
"But I've heard people say it seems to be artificial. Another man retorted, "At first, the waitress of this shop used to say to the police station that there was a fight in the store, but then she suddenly changed her testimony without knowing what happened." ”
The man walked past the two of them, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at the ruined Café Marty. I've had this place for life, he thought, and I almost died in that place, but I was reborn there. Fate is really something that people can't figure out.
A smile appeared on the man's face, but after a moment he regained his original indifference, and he quickened his pace towards his destination.
After some time, the man suddenly turned into an old alley at the corner of the street, and after passing through this long and dark alley, a completely different scene appeared at the end of the alley.
Darkness is the only word that can be used to describe the scene in front of you, a chaotic area where crime is frequent, where all the darkest things are done, where violence is rife and where ordinary people would never want to set foot in it.
The man did not mean to be afraid in the slightest, but this dark place gave him a sense of intimacy, just like the environment in which he had always lived, and the place where he had lived for many years was even darker than here, and it was like a child's house in comparison.
"Hey, hey, look, the gentleman is here again!" a thin man suddenly exclaimed as he approached. "I mean, gentleman, your outfit looks worth a lot of money, doesn't it?"
"Don't talk to me about this useless nonsense, Regner. The man snorted disdainfully, "It looks like you're having a good time today, didn't you steal someone else's stuff again?"
"A small profit. The man named Regner shouted loudly, "I went to the station today, and Ali's people's awareness of precaution is inevitably too low, so I will thank them for giving me money to buy alcohol and drink." ”
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, it's better to do less of this kind of thing. The man chuckled, "If you accidentally provoke the police and make my life unpleasant, maybe you will disappear from this world in no time." ”
"Got it, got it. Regner replied nonchalantly, "I'm not in the mood to take care of your affairs, and I'll try to get rid of the police myself, anyway, it won't interfere with your life." ”
"That's not bad. The man climbed the stairs, "Even if you kid is still knowledgeable, it seems that I don't have to say much." ”
The man pushed open the door in front of him, it was very dark, he did not turn on the light immediately, but sniffed the smell of the house with his nose, and then scanned all the rooms in front of him with a sharp gaze, and only after making sure that everything was completely safe, he turned and locked the door.
The man pressed the switch of the light, and the dark house was immediately shrouded in light, and the man subconsciously squinted, this sudden light really made his eyes a little uncomfortable. He approached the deepest room in the house, then gently twisted the handle to open the door.
In the room, a man was lying on the bed, he looked in pain, his hair was drenched with sweat, his consciousness was blurred, and he kept coming out of his mouth some words that he couldn't understand.
"It's painful, isn't it?" the man pulled over the chair and sat down on the edge of the bed, wiping the sweat from his face with a towel placed at the head of the bed. "That kind of thing is poison to living things, and it's a miracle that you've made it this far, Mr. Reynolds. ”
The men were calling his name in his ear, but Renaud was completely unconscious, his body twitching slightly, and his breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and he looked extremely weak.
"You haven't eaten for so many days except for the occasional drink of water, so you can't go on like this. The man took out a glass bottle filled with liquid from the heavy tote bag, and then took out a long tube from the box.
"If you don't take nutrition supplements, you can't survive the situation you are in. As he spoke, the man stabbed one end of the tube into the glass bottle, then picked up the needle at the bottom of the tube, and pushed the needle in after finding the blood vessel in Renault's hand.
"It's glucose. The man found a stand and hung the glass bottle, and watched the glucose flow through the tube drop by drop into Renault's body, and he let out a sigh of relief. "This will solve your life-sustaining problem for the time being, but the rest will be on your own. ”
The man took off his top hat and trench coat, and Glenn's face was reflected in the mirror, and he changed into simple casual clothes and walked out of the room where Renault was lying.
"What are you going to eat today?" he muttered for a moment, then had an idea. "I don't have much money left, so I just boil an egg and mix it with the rest of the milk in the fridge to make it a good meal. ”
Ten minutes later, Glenn was biting the straw on the milk carton and eating the egg in his hand with relish, although it may seem a little too shabby to outsiders, but for Glenn now, this kind of life makes him feel extremely happy.
"This is the life of ordinary people!" said Glenn with emotion after thinking about the end of the meal. "It's so good, just living like this, sometimes happy and sometimes unhappy, this is a life that I have never lived before. ”
While Glenn was relaxing, there was a commotion outside the door, and the crying of a girl and the sound of another group of people laughing loudly could be heard.
Glenn frowned, those guys aren't going to cause anything else, are they? If they provoke the police, they'll be searched here too. There will be no way to hide my and Renault's tracks, and the Hunters will send someone to eliminate us as soon as they know where we are.
After much thought, Glenn decided to go out to see what was going on, she opened the locked door, and as soon as she went out, she immediately saw that Regner was dancing about something.
"Please give me back your bag, it has money for my mother's surgery today. A girl was crying to Rekner, her face was covered with a mixture of sweat and tears, and it looked like she had run a long distance, but that couldn't hide her beautiful face.
"Hey, how can you say that, miss?" said Reckner with a hippie smile. "I told you that I picked up the bag, and there's nothing in it to prove that it's yours?"
"How can this be?" said the girl, Pear Blossom, crying with rain, "You stole my bag at the station today, how can you say that you picked it up, this is too unreasonable! If that's the case, I'll have to call the police!"
"What's wrong with being unreasonable. Regner became even more rampant, "Besides, you said you had to call the police!?Miss, you don't seem to know where this is, do you think you can still get out here?"
A group of people immediately surrounded the girl, Rekner looked at the girl carefully and then said to her with a wicked smile: "If you want to get your things back, you can do it, you just need to be my girlfriend, can't you? ”
"You, you-" The girl blushed but couldn't speak, she didn't know that the guys in front of her were all bastards, and there was no reason for such a group of guys.
"Why don't you speak, I will let you agree by default!" said Regner, reaching out and grabbing the girl's arm, no matter how much she struggled.
"Let go of me, let go of me!" the girl shouted, "Help, is anyone coming to save me!?"
"I told you you wouldn't see where this is!" Regner dragged the girl hard, "no one is going to save you, there aren't as many nice people out there as there are, because there are people like me living here." ”
Suddenly, a hand grabbed Regner's arm so hard that the force almost crushed his bones, Ragner painfully let go of the arm that grabbed the girl, he was about to have a seizure, but when he saw the person who was doing it, he suddenly felt that he couldn't do anything.
"What are you doing, gentleman?" Regner asked Glenn with a look of surprise, "It's my business, I don't need you to take care of it!"
"It's my business whether you want to or not!" Glenn said with a cold look at Regner, "I should have said don't get into trouble, and I really don't despise what you're doing!"
"Who are you to judge me?" Regner swung his fist at Glenn, but Glenn reached out to catch his punch without even looking at it, and then twisted his entire hand 180°, the sound of bones breaking and misaligned rang in everyone's ears with Regner's screams of pain.
"It's just not pleasing to the eye. Glenn let go of his hand, and Ragner immediately rolled back and forth on the ground, screaming in pain. "Now take out the bag for me and return it to this girl in front of you, or I promise you'll be miserable. ”
"Got it, got it. Ragner nodded busily, then motioned with his eyes to his two men to hurry up and get their things out, and a few minutes later, Ragner's men pulled out a leather purse.
"Take it. Glenn took the purse and handed it to the girl, "Check to see if there's any money in it, and if it's missing even a penny, I'll call them to make it up for you at once." ”
"Thank you. The girl thanked her and unzipped it, and after making sure that everything was okay inside, she smiled with relief: "Thank you so much, if it weren't for you today, I wouldn't have been able to get the money back, and my mother's surgery wouldn't be able to be done today, thank you so much anyway." ”
"It's a trivial matter, if there is nothing else to do, get out of here quickly, and don't just break into this kind of place in the future. Glenn waved at the girl, then turned again to get back into the house.
"Well, could you please tell me your name?" the girl suddenly asked him, "I want to thank you if I have time in the future, so please tell me your name." ”
"No need. Glenn didn't look back and said, "My name doesn't matter at all, but if you have a particularly difficult problem in the future, you can come here and find me, and these guys won't do anything to you in the future?"
"Yes, yes, yes. The others immediately nodded in agreement, "The gentleman is right, we won't do anything to you in the future, you are always welcome to come and play here." ”
"But. The girl was still hesitating, and even though Glenn had said those words, she still felt a little uncomfortable if she left like that.
"So be it. Glenn turned back to the girl and smiled, "If you really want to thank me, why don't you treat me to a cup of coffee next time, I was disturbed by someone else last time I had coffee, but I really want to find a time to have another drink." ”
"Then it's a foregone conclusion. The girl smiled at Glenn and said, "Then I'll come to you in a few days, but don't break the contract!"
"It's a deal. Glenn nodded, then reached out and unscrewed the doorknob, and went back into the house again.
"It looks good. Glenn looked at the hands he had just slammed into Regner and said to himself, "It turns out that it is so touching and pleasant to do things with human feelings, and sure enough, this is the real life." ”
