Volume 1: Shadow Rise Chapter 34: The City of Fog (8) Escape
Women have never felt so weak and powerless.
There were no pedestrians on the foggy streets, and the woman holding her injured right shoulder fled from the fashion clothing store until it stopped in this dark and narrow alley.
She was terrified, especially when she remembered the overwhelming strength that the man had displayed, and just by glancing at the man, she already knew in her heart that she didn't even have a 1 in 10 million chance of winning against that man.
She ran away, like a rabbit facing only a wolf, desperately trying to survive, crying and praying inwardly for salvation. The only thing she was thankful for was that the man had no intention of chasing her.
"What am I doing?" the woman muttered to herself, looking down at her trembling hands, "I actually ran away, and I swore that I would never run away again, but why did I run away?"
"Because you feel the fear. A deep voice came from the depths of the alley. "Fear makes you run away, fear robs you of your sanity, and you can't overcome that fear after all. ”
The owner of the voice showed his true face, and the woman's eyes showed a look of surprise as the comer's face appeared. "Why?" the woman's voice trembled, "Why would you, Captain, come here?"
"Because you've disappointed me so much. Winter Messes replied sharply, "It's an insult to our name that the three of the Hunters, known as the Big Three, have all been defeated. ”
"The last three are all defeated, that is, Glenn Brown and Jordi Ferron are both-"
"Ah!" said Winter, snorting dissatisfiedly, "Jordi Ferron died on the Thames, and Glenn Brown was in the nick of time, and I sent the number one to save him, but his injuries were still severe. ”
"That is, one dead and one seriously wounded?" the woman asked.
"Yes, one dead and one seriously injured. Winter straightened his upturned blonde hair, "And there's another guy who didn't even fight, and fled in a panic." ”
The woman swallowed: "Are you trying to say that I am right?"
"Ah, it's good that you know, I think you understand what we do with the vanquished, right?"
"Do you want to kill me yourself?" the woman could feel her heart beating violently, "Are you here to kill me?"
"I had this intention. Winter walked slowly into the woman, "But Number One seems to be very opposed to my proposal, so I decided to spare your life." His mouth was almost touching the woman's face.
"Is that so? Then I thank the captain for your kindness not to kill. "The woman felt like her tongue was about to tie up.
"Hmph. Winter sneered, "If you want to thank No. 1, this man is really incomprehensible to me, he has a powerful ability that is comparable to mine, but he is willing to submit to my subordinates, and he will intercede for the guilty, it is really interesting." ”
The woman racked her brains to think about the man's appearance, and finally realized in vain that she didn't know anything about him, only that he was a man who could only talk to the captain, and that he was known as the captain and number two, along with the captain known as Zero and the number two, and was known as the top three of the Wild Hunters.
"Since you've picked up a life, why don't you tell me how much you know about that man named Rex?"
"Yes. The woman replied, "As with the information we have before, the man inherited the powers of both hell and heaven, and once the two powers appeared together, another soul hidden within him would manifest.
"And so it was. Winter touched his chin with a look of insight. "The embodiment of light and darkness, the twin sons of karma, Rex Field, is indeed an amazing man!"
But his other soul seemed to be very cruel. The woman continued, "After all, he caused the incident, and caused great harm, and it would be too dangerous to let him go like this." ”
Winter held up a finger and shook it at her: "That man's did cause the incident, but he can undoubtedly be a good weapon, just as good steel should be used on a sharp blade, and he will be our indestructible blade." ”
"But his other soul said his name was ......," the woman whispered the name the man had given her, and Winter's brow tightened.
"Did he really say his name was that?" Winter's facial muscles twitched visibly. "It's a big problem now, I didn't expect that man's true identity to be like this, it seems that I didn't think it through before. ”
"So what do we do next, or are you going to continue to let him be used by us?" asked the woman eagerly.
"No!" said Winter, who rejected the woman's offer at once, "he can't be left to himself any longer, and if that man's true form is true, then he must be eliminated." ”
"But that man is so powerful that he can't imagine who he should send?"
"This?" Winter pondered for the first time, indeed, if even the last three could not face him directly, then only the first three could do it, but who should be sent?
"It's good to leave this kind of thing to me, why bother there for so long?" said a voice from above the alley.
"Are you here, are things all taken care of?" said Winter, looking up at the empty wall.
"Everything has been taken care of, Glenn Brown's vital signs have stabilized, and there is no danger for the time being. "Well, then, I'll do what I did, and I think you'll agree, Winter." ”
For the first time, a woman had heard someone dare to call the captain by his real name, and even as the last three, she could only be referred to as captain or zero when she met Winter. It was just a moment of shock, and the woman reacted, there was no doubt that the only person who could talk to the captain like this was the guy who was called No. 1, and sure enough, that man was really unfathomable.
"One. "Since you want to do this so much, I'll leave it to you, and I don't think you will let me down." ”
"I've never let you down. The pitch of his voice was raised slightly, "Among the Wild Hunters, the only man I can look up to is you, everyone else is just waste and rice buckets, I have never failed in my work!"
"Understood. Winter finally felt a sigh of relief, for he knew very well that the man's true had never let him down. "I entrust everything to you, so that they can understand how terrifying the name of the former triumvirate of the Wild Hunter is. ”
"Listen and obey. The voice replied and never came again.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" said Winter, looking at the woman who was stunned, "Daze won't solve our problem." ”
"Ah, yes!" the woman quickly came back to her senses and apologized. "I'm sorry, I was distracted. ”
"That man is hard to guess, isn't it?" asked Winter with a mysterious smile.
The woman did not answer, she already had a strong sense of awe in her heart for the man who was called Number One. When the man knew what he was going to face, he didn't hesitate at all, and even took the initiative to accept the task, and his voice was so calm, as if it was a very casual thing, it was simply terrifying.
"It's also because you want to take a good look at the man you taught, it's funny. Winter whispered to himself.
"But since it's him, I'm finally relieved. Winter said as he walked out of the alley, his face lightened like never before. "The only man among the Wild Hunters who can match me, the embodiment of the scourge, I wonder if that man named Rex can make him feel the joy of fighting?"
