Chapter VII Banks

Nov. 4 – Sunny

The traffic was motionless as usual, and the back seat of the taxi seemed to smell of overnight vomit.

Ziliang should have said that he didn't like the city...... In fact, he has said it no less than 40 times in the past few months. The eternal misty night sky, the eerie and cold Gothic buildings, even the dazzling neon can't hide the darkness hidden under the glitz, and during the day in Gotham, people are like the walking dead, trying to maintain the beauty of the city on the surface, and at night, everyone is like a werewolf waiting for the night of the full moon, showing their fangs.

Ziliang has stayed in many places, whether it is Stalingrad, which was rebuilt in World War II, or Nara Castle during the Meiji Restoration, in short, there is no place that is as contradictory as here. It is poor and magnificent, and sinful and shining. Desperate, detached, twisted, fragmented, it feels like if you were to come to a tour group somewhere else, maybe two breaths of the air here would be enough to burp.

So Ziliang told himself again that he had to finish his work quickly and then change places, otherwise his insomnia might have to get worse again.

......

Two hours later, the taxi finally stopped in front of the main entrance of 71st Street in the metropolitan area.

Ziliang paid and pushed the car door open.

In front of me is the largest bank in the block, but it is not very large, it should only be about 300 square meters, and there is only one floor.

Just suitable.

So he walked in satisfied. At this moment, he was still wearing that crumpled white coat.

It's just that there is an extra suitcase in his hand.

The inside of the bank is a little smaller than it looks from the outside. As long as he has a dozen eyes, Ziliang can take a rough look. - 7 counter windows, 6 staff members, 22 people in line, and 3 guards, all armed with pistols.

"Happy Halloween." He walked over to one of the guards and said to him with a big smile.

"Haha, it's been three days since Halloween." The guard said with a smile, and then passed by Ziliang.

But the next second.

He felt the muzzle of a gun against the back of his head, followed by a lazy voice: "Don't move!" ”

......

......

"What?" The guard was stunned for two seconds before he suddenly realized that his whole body was full of excitement.

"Robbery!" These two words exploded in his mind with hindsight.

In fact, he is not to blame, because this change came too quickly, too suddenly, like a diarrhea in his sleep, and did not give him the slightest time to prepare.

Of course, after being a security guard for so many years, he still has professionalism, which makes him very strong and did not immediately raise his hand......

Because he saw this guy who passed by him just now, he could see that it was a doctor, and that face should not be a person who often does evil, so at this moment, he was wondering if he had a chance to subdue the other party.

However, in less than half a second.

The gun seemed to leave his head suddenly, and then "Bang!" A gunshot rang out......

Everyone looked over in amazement, and the people immediately realized what was happening, and then all the women were extremely cooperative with the atmosphere, squatting on the spot with their heads in their hands, and then let out a series of piercing screams.

Chaos erupted in that instant.

People are aware that they are experiencing a bank robbery.

......

But in the midst of this panic, there were also one or two people who seemed to have noticed a very inexplicable scene, they squinted their eyes and looked carefully at the criminal who was hijacking the security guard, and he was ...... It seems that it is not a robbery, but a ...... A lighter?

What's going on?

But although someone found out, it was too late, because the guard couldn't see it, he just felt that the back of his head was pressed against a cold and hard thing, in this case, even if he could think that someone would put a lighter against the back of his head, but who would dare to try it with his own head. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if you really have the courage to die for the sake of your work, you must have been frightened by the sound of a gunshot that was close at hand.

In fact, when it comes to this gunshot, if you listen to it in a quiet situation, you should be able to distinguish it, which is a little different from the real gunshot, but because it is too sudden, it is too timely for the occasion. So the guard immediately raised his hands, almost out of his mind.

And at this moment, the gun on his waist had also been taken out by the person behind him.

......

At this time, about two to three seconds had passed since the phrase "Happy Halloween", and the other two guards had already pulled out their guns.

"Don't move!"

"Put down the gun!"

They aimed at Ziliang's location, of course, Ziliang had a companion in front of him, even the most professional security guards could not react quickly in these few seconds like a sharpshooter, and took out their guns, and at the same time shot the gangster in the head over their companion's body.

As a result, they can only shout stupid things like "put down the gun", as if the people behind them always like to shout "stop" with all their strength when they are chasing after them.

Ziliang was very bored for a while, as if he was disgusted with the useless behavior of the two bodyguards, and then he opened the safety next to the gun, didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly said "Bang!" to a security guard. Bang! Bang! Several shots were fired in a row.

Fortunately, these shots were all aimed at the next three ways, otherwise, this brother is estimated to be the most neat guard killed in this year's bank robbery incident in Gotham City, and he didn't even hear the robber's voice......

To be honest, from these shots, it can actually be seen that Ziliang's marksmanship is not very good, and he fired several shots in a row, but only one shot hit the guard's calf.

Of course, there is only one place on a person's body that does not hurt after being hit by a bullet, and that is the head, so the person screamed and fell directly to the ground, covering his leg in pain, and the gun in his hand also slipped away.

At the same time, the entire crowd erupted in an even more frantic scream at this moment, and the crowd boiled everywhere looking for a place to hide. Some people were even more frightened and held their heads on the spot, shouting while looking for something all over the ground, Ziliang thought, they might be looking for a hole to get into.

As for the other security guard with a gun...... He had received a little training anyway, so he desperately suppressed the panic in his heart and quickly hid behind a service desk.

It was a robbery, it couldn't have been more obvious, but he couldn't figure it out...... How can there be such a bank robbery, so generous, not even a stocking.

And the general bank robbery also requires at least three people, one guards the car and watches the wind, one loads money, and one threatens hostages with a gun, and he robs the bank alone, the probability of success is zero at all, besides, the most important thing in robbing a bank is not to kill people, and to solve it quickly, but this person comes up and shoots indiscriminately, which is not directly forcing himself to a dead end.

Just as he hid behind the service desk and pondered this.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Another flurry of gunfire. I don't know what it's shooting, but anyway, the screams that have been coming and going one after another have been raised by a K degree again. The crowd had all reached the very edge of the wall, and it seemed that they could be safer if they could stay away from the robber.

At this moment, about 10 seconds have passed since Ziliang walked into the bank, and in this chaos, I don't know which brave clerk has pressed the alarm bell, and suddenly, the alarm bells, shouts, crying, and screams in the entire bank have sounded.

......
