Chapter 46: Nocturne Under the Moon (Part 4)
46 XXX Street, South District.
"Those two people are heading northwest, you have less than five minutes left, don't drag the battle line too long."
"Knock knock—"
A knock on the door interrupted Quentin's command, and he subconsciously glanced at the phone's time limit.
10:21。
As far as he knew, the students in X City generally finished school after four o'clock, and they should still be in class at this time, and it should not be the daughter of this family who came back.
"Knock knock—"
There were three more knocks on the door.
Quentin pulled out a pistol from his waist and, under the horrified gaze of the owner of the house, crept to the door, first glanced at the door, and then pointed the gun at the door.
The moment he pulled the trigger, the weight of the entire security door pressed on him.
The first time that came to his body was a strong sense of detachment, at this moment, he realized that his wrists, arms, and thighs were unconscious, and it was obvious that this was not a trauma caused by the impact of the security door, but that the other party had somehow hit him directly at the joints without him noticing.
Not only that, but the spine was also broken.
Quentin realized that the people outside the door didn't seem to have any intention of negotiating with him from the beginning, so naturally he wouldn't spare his hand, and an injury of this magnitude should have killed an ordinary person immediately.
"Puff-puff-"
The sound of the heart beating and the tingling of the electric current gradually replaced the feeling of weakness.
The only reason why he was still conscious was because of the pacing device installed in his body, and every member who joined the Blood Cross was well aware that this was a profession that could not be quit or die well, and that sooner or later they would all encounter enemies that could not be fought by manpower.
And the point is, what do they get in exchange for their deaths?
Quentin stared at Gu Yun's back, first able to convey this information.
And Gu Yun had already helped the tied couple loosen their ties, and the moment they were untied, the middle-aged man jumped directly over Gu Yun and rushed into the bedroom without looking back.
It's hopeless.
However, Gu Yun did not directly inform the couple of this conclusion, he smelled blood at the door, and he could also hear the general situation in the house.
There were only three people breathing, all gathered in the living room.
The woman was crying in front of him, but Gu Yun was not very comforting, he had learned enough lessons, in this situation, it was better not to speak.
"Here's what you're given."
He suddenly thought of something, and took out the "dry food" that An Ling had asked him to carry with him in the morning from his pants pocket.
The strawberry-flavored one was handed to the woman.
After confirming the situation in the bedroom, the middle-aged man rushed out with red eyes, he picked up the silver dagger on the table, and walked fiercely towards Quentin who was crushed under the door.
He lost his mind and lifted the door, but the dagger clenched in his right hand hung in the air.
Quentin's eyes widened under the door panel, just being stared at like this made him feel his hair stand on end and his back was cold, and in this desperate situation, Quentin actually grinned and laughed innorantly.
That's right.
In addition to exchanging information, members of their level have already planted a button in their bodies to die with the enemy under extraordinary circumstances.
Although the detonation here may affect the residents of the entire building, it is ...... This is exactly the price that has to be paid to clean up the evil cult.
The strong wind pressure knocked the middle-aged man over, and then, it seemed that a wave of heat swept towards him.
As he instinctively crawled backwards, he found Quentin eerily disappearing in front of his eyes, a deafening roar echoing through the sky almost as soon as the glass shattering sound came.
Quentin saw a sea of fire, and under the sea of fire, the whole city was so small, and after turning his gaze, he suddenly appeared high in the sky.
This scene is like the scene he saw by the window a few days before the passenger plane landed.
Then, he saw Gu Yun dragging his hand with him.
There seemed to be an invisible barrier blocking out the shock wave and flames from the explosion, and at this moment, all the clues were connected.
Quentin understood, he understood everything, including the purpose of Eric's coming here.
Because...... This is clearly a city of calamity!
His vision was obscured by the flames, and the heat didn't last long.
Then, everything came to a rest.
……
"Mom, look, someone's setting off fireworks!"
On the streets of the Southern District, a mother and son stopped, and the child pointed to the brilliant flames in the sky and said excitedly.
"Boom-"
There was another near-rang bang.
"Mom, look, it's Iron Man!"
The child pointed to Gu Yun who suddenly landed more than ten meters away, but his mother was not excited at all, she stepped forward to block the child behind her, staring at Gu Yun with eyes full of fear and vigilance.
Under her horrified gaze, the young man walked towards him step by step.
Could this be......
Highway robbery, right!?
Are the robbers so powerful that they can all fall from the sky?
The mother instinctively opened her satchel and took out her purse, and just as she was about to take out all the bills inside, she saw the "robber" bend down and fumble for an object from his pants pocket.
"Here you go."
"Mom, look, Iron Man gave me a fructose! Apple-flavored! ”
The child cheered and secretly made up his mind that when he went to school next Monday, he would show it off to everyone - Iron Man gave him an apple-flavored fructose, which showed that he was the best child in school during this time!
Fructose is so important that he decides to pass it on from generation to generation, as it is a symbol of Iron Man that he has seen.
Superheroes are real!
Gu Yun didn't know what this kid was thinking, but he suddenly discovered a little trick in life just now - when he didn't understand how to explain what was going on for a while, he just had to give someone a fructose.
The woman of the family had ceased to cry when she was holding the fructose, and looked at him in a daze; And this child jumped happily, which shows that fructose can build a bridge of communication between human beings.
He had already begun to think about entrusting An Ling to help him buy some similar fructose when he returned.
Thinking of this, Gu Yun gave the child a thumbs up and smiled slightly to say goodbye.
"Wow——!"
Then came a cry, "Mom, we were deceived, he is not Iron Man, he is Doctor Evil!" Woo woo, this sugar must be the poison that turns people into monsters! ”
The smile on Gu Yun's face froze again.
The child's mother's expression was also a little embarrassed, and to be honest, when Gu Yun laughed just now, she herself was taken aback.
"I'm sorry."
After giving Gu Yun an apologetic look, the mother left in a hurry with the child, leaving Gu Yun alone to stand in the bleak cold wind, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
