Chapter 12: Headlines
The person who suddenly appeared in front of Cathy and blocked the shot for her was, of course, Richard who had transformed into Nexus.
As Cathy stood in her office and told him the details of the smuggling case, Richard vaguely expected that she might stab a big man he couldn't settle with. No, if he hadn't followed and stared, the intern reporter would have been lost on the spot.
In fact, just to deal with such a few small roles, Richard doesn't need to transform at all, and can run over it directly with his physical fitness. The problem is that if he does that, he will have to cover his face or something to hide his identity, and it feels good to think about it. So he felt that it was not as convenient as direct transformation, anyway, if he just maintained the body of an ordinary person, it would not be much.
Cathy, the little reporter Richard, has always looked very pleasing to the eye, she is full of enthusiasm and loves her work, she often volunteers to work overtime all night, and she is more active in the news than anyone else. That is, she is still too young and inexperienced, but in Richard's opinion, this is the future Pulitzer Prize reserve of their newspaper, and if she cultivates it well, she can cultivate an ace reporter like Louise Lane next door, who is known as the "journalist hero".
And right now, what she lacks most is an opportunity, an opportunity.
So Richard decided that it would be better to give her such a big news.
The thugs were stunned, and the big brother was obviously a little bluffed. But in front of a group of younger brothers, he must not be a big brother, and the guy he is holding in his hand seems to have given him some courage.
"Looking for death, huh?"
The big brother didn't think about it, the trigger was pulled together, and the flames erupted from the muzzle of the gun one after another, and the bullets bounced off Ultraman's steel-like body one after another. One of the shrapnel flew out and unfortunately, it splashed on the leg of a junior brother in the back. The little brother screamed "ah", blood flowed from his legs, and he hugged his legs and covered the wounds and moaned on the ground.
The magazine was empty, but the other party was still standing in place unharmed.
Richard reached out and grabbed the barrel of the pistol. With a slight force of one hand, the barrel of the gun was crumpled into a ball of hot scrap metal.
Now the big brother was really panicked, and stammered: "You, you, you...... What the hell are you? ”
"That...... Big brother," a little brother next to him reminded in a low voice, "I think this thing seems to be the 'Ultraman' mentioned in the newspaper?" ”
"What?" The eldest brother was stunned for a moment. This name seems a little familiar, so I don't think I've heard anyone mention it today......
The eldest brother suddenly thought of something, and his whole face turned white.
WOC, this is the giant who can't even pick out the monster that is making trouble in New York with one fist and digging it out of the floor?
What a hair?
I can't fight, I can't fight, I cast.
But another little brother whispered, "But I heard that Ultraman is not a giant?" How is this still shrinking? ”
"Then who knows, maybe they can be big or small."
"You can see the hell, I can be long or short......"
The big brother gritted his teeth, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes. He brushed the ground and flashed a dagger, pointed at Richard, and said, "I don't know who you are, and I don't care!" I told me that I was the famous leader of this street, known as the 'Copper-spotted Snake'. Want to know where the nickname came from? Then I'll tell you......"
Richard stretched out his right hand, and flicked his middle finger on the big brother's head.
I don't know, I'm not interested, I don't understand.
With a snap of his fingers, the big brother suddenly flew out like a cannon shot, smashed a stack of wooden boxes piled up in the corner, and was crushed under a pile of sawdust and did not move.
Just a snap of a finger.
The faces of the younger brothers were as white as paper, standing in place like wooden stakes, not even daring to come out, and almost silently reciting "can't see me, can't see me" in their hearts.
Could it be that this is the legendary flick of a finger?
Click.
Richard heard a shutter sound and turned his head to see that Cathy was carefully taking pictures with her phone. Seeing him turn around, Cathy was also frightened and took two steps back, her heart pounding. After all, she wasn't sure if this "Ultraman" was friend or foe, what if the other party hated taking pictures?
Richard was satisfied. Very good, very good, not scared silly and remember her duties, this girl is really good.
The group of girls who had been locked in the box also poked their heads out from behind the bunker one by one, staring at a pair of bright eyes and observing the situation here. Now that the locks that locked them have been picked open by Cathy, these gangsters have also scared Richard so much that he doesn't dare to let go of a fart, logically speaking, they are now free, but no one dares to leave.
That's when Richard heard something.
Richard, who has the power of light, has far more than ordinary senses even in the non-transformed state, and his senses in the transformed state have been greatly improved, and it is impossible for any wind and grass around him to escape his senses.
The Green Snake Gang is obviously not the only one here, and there is another one outside the warehouse door.
The gangster outside was just sitting in the car waiting for his accomplice at first, but after waiting for a long time for no one else to come back, and there were several gunshots in the warehouse, he realized that something might not be right.
But even so, he had no idea what he would see until he reached the door of the warehouse.
The gangster was a little scared silly. He turned around and ran back to the car — thankfully he didn't turn off the engine when he got out. He slammed the accelerator to death, and the vehicle went on a rampage, crashing headlong through the wooden boxes piled up in the clearing, and fled at full speed in the direction of the road.
The gangster held the steering wheel in one hand, and in a panic with the other, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a series of numbers: "Hey? Boss? I'm Danny. I'm in warehouse number 42...... What the? No, it's not the girls who ran away, it's ...... You can never imagine what happened here......"
Before he could finish speaking, a silver afterimage fell from the sky. Ultraman landed vertically in front of the front of the car and pressed his palm into the hood in front of the car. The metal hood deformed and twisted under the action of great force, and the front of the car stopped instantly, but the rear of the car was thrown high under the action of inertia. The whole car flipped in the air several times and fell heavily to the ground, the body was seriously deformed, and the tires flew out one by one, and the whole thing became a pile of scrap metal.
Cathy chased after her mobile phone with the video recording function turned on, and when she saw this scene, her small mouth suddenly opened into an "O" shape.
She felt that she might be so lonely, and that it was the first time she had seen the legendary freehand parking car outside of the movie......
Problem solving. Richard took one last look at Cathy, and then without stopping, his figure rose like a silver meteor and disappeared into the night sky.
Cathy held up her phone and looked up at the sky until the figure turned into a pitch-black dot and disappeared into the sky, refusing to let go of the camera for a long time.
For a long time, she smiled uncontrollably.
She knew that the first headline of her life was there.
