Volume II Prologue The Man Who Pours Steel
1
December 7th.
How would it feel if you saw a person made of steel on the street at night?
Not only the visual impact, but also the fear will definitely gush out.
It's bad, so I don't want to be like this.
But in order to find the real culprit, I will definitely go through this. It can only be as stable as possible in 'Exception'.
I felt the wind in my left shoulder first.
Harbor City is a coastal city, a suburb of Harbor City (southeast district), with many villas rising along the coastline.
Many villas have been built in the past development, perhaps due to the problem of funds or lack of population, most of them have become unfinished buildings, and now the villas along the coastline are all empty shells, and even the outer layers of many villas have been eroded by the damp sea breeze, and the planned small yards are overgrown with weeds, and the interior is dilapidated.
The population of Gangwan City is not dense, and compared to a large city like Qianshan City, it can only be regarded as a small port city.
With the prosperity of Qianshan City, more Gangwan people left their hometowns and went to Qianshan City, which is more than 100 kilometers northwest of here.
The city centre of Harbourfront City is lackluster, and this seaside suburb is even more sparsely populated.
It's great for 'their' survival.
"How is it, Brother Ben Xu, have you been notified over there?"
Shen Yexin, who was leaning next to me and holding a dangerous weapon in his hand, said.
"Let's do it. Also, don't call me brother. β
I was upset, even though I was younger than her.
"You also know that I don't like to have too much to do with the 'Hong Kong Society'......"
"Alright, alright. That's an important clue. β
She interrupted me and continued to stare intently at the scope.
This is a modified weapon WB-S3 type, the black steel body is plated with a special blue metal, and the appearance looks like a sniper rifle, but the function is far better than that of ordinary sniper rifles. On the left side of the gun it was possible to pull out a screen to monitor the situation at a distance. The gun operates on electrical energy, is rechargeable, and can fire narcotic, electromagnetic, sabotage, etc.
"Judging from the investigation, he has no other abilities on the surface."
I looked at my phone and said to Ye Xin.
"In that case, wouldn't it be better if you could take care of him yourself?"
"It's just on the surface. If he has any hidden abilities, it will be more than worth the loss. It's better to be suspicious here. β
"Really...... O man who controls the flames...... Only in this kind of event will you be willing to assist. β
Ye Xin muttered.
"But you may be disappointed, according to our investigation, [that] was overseas when it happened."
"I know."
I interrupted Ye Xin's words, although that matter was very important, but for things related to 'fire', I still couldn't put my mind at ease.
Now Ye Xin and I are squatting on the roof of an abandoned villa, facing the sea and with a wide view.
"It should be beautiful to watch the sunrise and sunset here."
"Of course. It's a pity it's night. β
I sat on the roof floor, oblivious to the dust on the floor.
It's late at night, and I don't know exactly what time it is, and I don't pay attention to it, it feels like it's almost early in the morning.
So sleepy.
I was in good spirits.
There were no street lamps here, only the faint moonlight that gave the earth more light than nothing, and now it was pitch black in front of me.
The WB-S3 can detect thermal sensations, and even if there is no light, if there is someone below, it can be detected on the video.
Ye Xin stared at the video screen, and time passed minute by minute.
It was quiet.
In addition to the sound of the sea breeze blowing, the sound of the waves crashing on the beach can be said to be quite pure.
It is now the heavy snow in the 24th solar term, the ninth day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar, and the theoretical time of low tide is after half past one in the morning. I don't remember much, but it's late anyway.
Now the tide is still raging.
I went around my head and spent my free time thinking about something else.
ββ¦β¦β
It's cold, and it's even colder with wind. Winter in the south is really uncomfortable.
I looked at Ye Xin, staring at the video screen motionlessly, worthy of being an honor student who graduated from the police academy.
"There were."
Ye Xin said to me suddenly. I looked at the video and saw a red shadow in the shape of a human.
"Do you want to shoot now?"
"Wait a minute, it's too early."
I stopped Ye Xin, I thought it was too hasty.
"I don't know if he found us."
I agreed with the 'Hong Kong Association' that as long as I didn't contact them after half past 0:00, they would send someone here.
Since the time has been agreed, I have to abide by it, I turned on my phone and looked at the current time.
It's less than 0 pips.
There's plenty of time.
You have to do a little bit of preparation.
"Oops, he's running all of a sudden."
Ye Xin immediately moved the position of the gun and continued to track his whereabouts.
The thermal sensor could not be found.
"What's going on, why did he run all of a sudden."
Ye Xin asked, of course I don't know the answer.
"Found it, he changed directions."
I don't know what Ye Xin is talking about, but I can see that she is getting a little anxious.
Ye Xin adjusted the WB-S3 to the mode of 'enhanced anesthetic bomb'.
"Anyway, let him sleep first."
The trigger was pulled.
Z-bang!
Like lightning.
Lightning was fired from the muzzle of the gun and headed straight for the coast. A huge eruption of energy tore through the darkness around me, and the blinding light made me unable to adapt for a moment.
ββ¦β¦β
The energy is too strong, and being hit by this thing is definitely not a simple anesthesia.
Zizi Zizi Zizi β
The sound of electromagnetism is particularly noticeable.
However, after the huge amount of energy is ejected, there is no feedback.
An even more dazzling light came to my face.
But instead of the WB-S3-style electromagnetic blue light, it is his opposite, the harsh red.
[That's the light of the flames.] γ
"Not really."
I gasped.
"Damn!"
Ye Xin pulled the trigger again. The electric switch is galloping, and the burst of energy is soaring.
"Stop, it's been discovered. Come on. β
I stopped Ye Xin and pulled her back.
"How could it be ......"
Ye Xin snorted unwillingly.
"You guys, what's the matter with me?"
Just as we were about to retreat, a deep voice sounded, and with a jerk of our heads, a tall and mighty man stood there.
ββ¦β¦β
Ye Xin was dumbfounded, she turned her head to look at the shore again, and the red color of the shore gradually faded.
"You ......"
He is the one who controls the flames.
It is not known what hidden abilities he has, and perhaps they should not be underestimated.
[The man in front of him stretched out his hands, and suddenly, flames surrounded his body. γ
The surroundings become brighter.
"This gun...... You are members of the HKC. β
I looked at the man in front of me, more than 2 meters tall, like a fierce bear rampant in the night, wearing a black tight top, a broad back and broad chest, iron arms and copper fists, and the protruding strong muscles seemed to be poured from steel.
He is worthy of being the one who controls the flames, and he is really not afraid of the cold.
ββ¦β¦β
Ye Xin was silent, why did the 'Hong Kong Association' want to make such discriminating firearms, I don't know how to explain it.
"But this little trick doesn't hurt me."
He laughed, his low, magnetic voice creepy.
"What was it just now?"
I said, pointing to the nearly vanishing flames on the shore.
"Why am I telling you? But don't worry, for your courage's sake, I'm willing to do everything in my power to deal with you. - Ah, little boy, you look so young. Why do you want to do such a thing. β
He glared at me, and then Ye Xin pulled the trigger again.
Bang bang bang!
This time, instead of an electromagnetic sound, it was more akin to a rifle.
"That's interesting."
The man laughed, and the flames on his body quickly swallowed the bullet.
The flames suddenly gathered together, and then gradually changed into a special shape, and when you looked closely, you could see that it was a wolf.
"Let me show you how strong I am."
Wolves made of flames are coming at us, opening their jaws and trying to devour us.
ββ¦β¦ Rising sun! β
I hate flames.
I rushed forward and held the flames out with my hands.
The man was so frightened by my actions that he never dreamed that anyone would do it.
Rustle Rustle β
My arm is burning.
The use of fire had a significant impact on ancient humans, and it was because of their mastery and control of fire that human civilization made a leap forward. But in modern times, the appearance of fire is sometimes accompanied by negativity, every year countless people are buried in the sea of fire and the smoke it creates, every year countless wealth is consumed by the flames, and every year countless happy families are disintegrated by the flames.
"I'm one of them. γ
So I hate fire, I hate these out-of-control fires.
"How...... How can it be. β
The lone wolf made of flames suddenly disappeared, and the man showed an incredulous look at it, no, it was an expression of fear. For the first time, I saw a look of fear on the face of a 2-meter-tall strong man.
"You...... What are you. β
He looked at me, and he was terrified of me.
[The 'skin' representing a human being on the arm has disappeared without a trace, and has been replaced by a robotic arm made of steel.] γ
ββ¦β¦ That's all you're capable of? β
I looked him straight and said.
I've got this stuff all over my body.
After that accident, I woke up again.
As soon as a human cannot recover from a wound, the original skin will be peeled off, revealing the core of steel.
I am the one who is poured by rebar.
A person who has been given the title of 'God of Destruction' by the gods.
That's not a good image.
"......Who the hell are you?"
Boom!
Before he could finish speaking, my right foot kicked forward with more force than a human could bear, and my leg instantly turned into a steel machine.
In this form, I can exert amazing speed and strength.
After all, I am the one who pours it with steel bar.
I don't like it, but it all started with the nasty flame in front of me.
So - I'm going to confront this man.
I quickly came behind the man, who was startled and turned sharply.
Bang!
My right fist landed on his chest, and with a little force, the man's body disappeared from my vision in the next second.
After a few seconds, I heard the sound of falling water.
It was as if the flames had never existed, and darkness had returned to the surroundings.
"Heyβwhere did he go?"
Ye Xin said to me.
"That's the way."
I vaguely pointed in one direction.
"He's not going to die."
"Probably not, I didn't use my strength."
I just wanted him to sleep, after all, he still had the value of interrogation, I didn't expect to fly so far.
"I'll look for it, if I can't find you, it's over."
Ye Xin turned to leave.
"Obviously, you can solve it alone."
Before leaving, she added another sentence.
"What if he had something else, it's just a coincidence."
I said and walked downstairs with Ye Xin.
Suddenly, I felt that the moonlight was brighter than before. In the city of Minato at night, the moon and stars are scarce, and the earth seems to be sleeping, only the sound of tides and steel hitting the floor echoes in the sky above the city.
