Chapter 8: Throwing Knives
After the emperor penguin sent the Matilda siblings back to the rented apartment, he went to find old Tony again, and on the way he met the white guy who had shown him the way, and yesterday the thug extorted two hundred dollars from the emperor penguin to take him to Tony Sr.
The white guy stopped the emperor penguin and said, "Hey, we're meeting again." β
Emperor Penguin chuckled, took out a dozen banknotes from his arms, spread them into a fan shape, and shook the green, ink-smelling "fan" in front of the white guy, making the hip-hop guy look straight in his eyes, but the emperor penguin changed his hand and put the banknotes back in the pocket on the inside of his coat: "I know the way where I'm going today, you can't earn two hundred dollars." β
The white guy looked away from the place where the emperor penguin was holding the money, looked at the face of the emperor penguin and said, "Man, I'm here to deliver the news, and old Tony said to relay this message to you, and I can get two ...... Five hundred dollars. β
[I really don't treat other people's money as money, and Old Tony is reluctant to spend this little money.] Despite the slander in his heart, the emperor penguin took out the bills again, counted out ten and gave them to the white thugs: "I'll give you a thousand dollars, and tell me something." β
The thug stuffed the money into his pocket, licked his lips and said, "Old Tony told me not to go to him, but to take the little girl as far away as possible." β
"That's all?" Emperor penguins raise their eyebrows.
The white thug said, "He asked me to bring this sentence." β
The emperor penguin counted out five more bills but did not give them to the thug, but continued to shake them in front of him: "When I told you this, what was the expression of old Tony, I remember, the five hundred dollars are yours." β
The white guy said, "It's not Tony Sr., it's the guy who works in his shop, and the guy has a wound on his body. β
The emperor penguin shoved five bills into the thug's hand and said, "What hurt?" Gunshot wound or knife wound? β
The thug said: "I was beaten with my bare hands, and I have experience in this." β
The emperor penguin said, "Is it to hit someone or to be beaten." β
The thug left with no two taels of meat, and the addict probably went to find someone to buy laundry detergent.
Emperor Penguin still walked in the direction of Old Tony's restaurant, looking down at the road under his feet from time to time, or looking up at the sky and the towering buildings, thinking about Old Tony's words: "I didn't seem to tell him about Matilda yesterday, why did Old Tony know?" And only Matilda is mentioned, and not her brother? Forget it, don't care, go to the place and ask him face to face. β
Hearing the bell of the emperor penguin pushing the door in, Old Tony looked up for a moment, and then said with a little disappointment, "You're here." β
Belch! - What is going on with this familiar line, such a strong sense of immediacy, the opening words of a certain stalk make the emperor penguin's heart float a strong bad taste: "Yes, I'm here." β
Old Tony took a big sip of beer: "You shouldn't come. β
I'll go, it's really a classic dialogue, do foreigners also watch Gu Long?
The emperor penguin hid his smile and continued to answer: "It's a pity that I'm already here." β
After a long silence, old Tony with a bruised face held up his beer glass and said, "What to drink?" β
Emperor Penguin placed Lyon's wooden box on the table, pulled out a stool and sat down opposite Old Tony: "A glass of milk, and give me an empty cup of draft beer." β
Although it was already afternoon, the emperor penguin still didn't wake up tired, and after a long yawn, the emperor penguin rubbed his worried face: "It's boring to drink dry, don't you want to have some snacks?" β
Old Tony grinned, but the movement of his muscles touched the wound, causing him to return to the stinky expression of an emperor penguin as soon as he entered the door: "Appetizers? β
The emperor penguin's milk and empty cup were quickly brought up by the younger brother, and before the emperor penguin took out a large tip, the younger brother hurriedly turned around and went back to the kitchen, and the emperor penguin could only shout at the younger brother's back: "Give me an empty plate." β
After saying that, Emperor Penguin opened the wooden box, took out a carton of eggs, and then knocked twenty raw eggs into the empty cup one by one.
Old Tony looked at the emperor penguin's skillful movements and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing here?" Oriental prescriptions? β
"These two days have been a bit empty, make up for it." The emperor penguin said, "Don't look down, it's very compensating." Bruce Lee taught Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan taught Alain Delon Stallone, Alain Delon taught Stallone, Stallone taught Dillon, Dillon taught Chow Yun-fat, I learned it from Chow Yun-fat. Old Tony, looking at your appearance, you should also make up for it. β
Then the penguiser raised the beer glass full of raw eggs, and drank the eggs in the cup very happily under the stunned gaze of Old Tony, and even the thin old man who often sat in Old Tony's shop and seemed indifferent to everything also cast his gaze here.
I hit it for a long time! After a hiccup, the emperor penguin drank half a glass of milk, and then talked to old Tony about business: "I heard that you were beaten?" β
Old Tony subconsciously touched the wound on his face, but signaled the emperor penguin to be careful with his eyes: "I mentioned to you, the master of the family who killed Leon." β
The emperor penguin caught a glimpse of the silver light, and immediately grabbed the wooden box in front of him, and then felt a pain in his heart, that thing actually penetrated the box made of solid wood and hit himself, and the box had a thick layer of paper, even if he brought a pistol, ordinary pistol bullets could not penetrate this level of protection at all.
The emperor penguin glanced down and sighed: "What a fast flying knife!" What a sharp throwing knife! β
Although the emperor penguin was talking to old Tony, he kept an eye on his surroundings, and he didn't even see the man make a move; The knife that pierced his heart was so thin as paper that even light could pass through it.
"Xiao Li flying knife, there is no false hair." The old man with the same background in the corner stood up, and his withered body quickly plumped up as if it was inflated.
Emperor penguins can even hear the sound of muscles stretching from his body, like a tight rubber band.
In less than ten seconds, the man had gone from a dying old man to a young man with a smile at the emperor penguin and said, "Introduce yourself, Edmundo Boda." β
The emperor penguin said, "Oswald Chesterfield Copot, your throwing knife is good. β
Edmundo's throwing knife is indeed good, and the emperor penguin's nervous reaction speed is very fast, but he can't even dodge, he can only block with something; And with the position and angle of the three of them, the flying knife couldn't hit the heart of the emperor penguin at all, because there was old Tony in the way, but the flying knife bypassed old Tony.
"Thanks for the compliment." The blonde man who called himself Edmundo said, "We come from the same place, so don't use a fake name, I know who that name refers to, Penguin, and I'm not Batman." β
Old Tony's little brother just wanted to come out with an empty plate, but Old Tony said, "Go back, close the door, don't come out yet." Then the younger brother retreated and closed the door.
In the conversation between the big guys, the little people have no say at all, and the aura of Emperor Penguin and Edmundo is full of energy, even the old Tony, a retired killer, can't hold it up.
Although he had been drinking, Old Tony still felt thirsty under great pressure, raised his glass to his mouth, but couldn't drink anything, only to find that the beer had been drunk by himself, and then looked at the emperor penguin's half glass of milk: "Do you mind ......?"
"I don't mind." The emperor penguin seemed to know that old Tony wanted to say something, and spoke first, but he kept holding the box, and did not move except to speak and breathe.
Old Tony took the cup directly and drank the remaining half of the glass of milk: "You shouldn't come, you will die if you come." β
Edmundo looked at the emperor penguin's look of interest, and explained: "Soul transfer Dafa, that is, hypnosis, I implanted these words into his consciousness. β
The emperor penguin said, "Awesome." Then he stopped talking.
Then after a stalemate for half a minute, the emperor penguin couldn't help but speak: "By the way, you are a Westerner, why do you learn Eastern martial arts?" β
Edmund's multi-language has changed, speaking the Chinese language with a round accent, and the accent is more correct than that of the emperor penguin, a Chinese with pure blood, and participating in the Mandarin test must be the first-class one: "Because Oriental martial arts can give full play to my strength, the one that suits me is the best." And you're not bad either.
My throwing knife hurts your heart, but the knife is so thin that it doesn't affect others at all, but you know you can't move, because if you move, the wound will expand. Even if you are sent to the emergency room immediately, you will not be able to save it at all - I'm talking about this low-tech, mystical world. β
The emperor penguin also responded in Chinese: "Knowing that I can't move, why are you still standing so far, are you afraid?" β
"Yes, I'm afraid!" Edmundo admitted it directly, and said his reason: "Because you can still speak, ordinary people would have vomited blood if they spoke like you."
Although I am proficient in Chinese martial arts, I have not reached the point of being superb. Even so, if my heart is hurt and I hold my breath, I can still fight for a minute, although it will still end up dyingβwe don't have to separate life and death for the sake of a mere advancement mission, and it also forbids us from killing each other, so rest assured, I won't do anything to you. β
Edmundo must have thought of me as someone else. Advancement mission? There is more than one person like Edmundo, is it the main god, this world is not a movie world, but a novel world built by some third-rate book? The emperor penguin chuckled and said, "It's not wrong to be cautious, no wonder you can live a long life." The news that won't let me come here came from you, taking advantage of people's curiosity and psychological inertia. β
