Chapter 22: Night, Lightlessness, Mutation?
If the lives of ordinary people are seen as stories under the light, then the lives of criminals are the stories of things immersed in darkness, and in this lightless world, the foolish things are not demons, but human hearts.
Gu Wu, who was attacked by the girl, walked over while Altaïr suppressed the other party, even a strong man was afraid that he would not be able to raise his head in front of Altaïr's power, so Gu Wu was absolutely safe now.
Looking at the other party, Gu Wu saw that the attacker had shoulder-length short hair, was not tall, not very old, and was dressed in a bit of gothic style, and was staring at him with unhappy and surprised eyes at this moment.
Moving her gaze, there was an obvious scar on the girl's neck, and this mark-like scar reminded Gu Wu of something.
Gu Wu is not very familiar with the work "Black Reef", but at least he is also someone who has seen the original work, although this character is not an important supporting role, but there are also a lot of scenes, which is impressive.
This can't be helped, after all, only a few characters can become the protagonist in a certain story or work, and unlike group dramas with multi-angle descriptions, there are often only important characters' experiences in this kind of work.
But in fact, after crossing into such a world, he found that the characters outside the main story also had a lot of interesting experiences, and Gu Wu thought that they were no different from the protagonists.
Squatting down in front of the girl, her whole body was suppressed by an invisible force, and she seemed to be using the corner of her eye to spy on Gu Wu's expression.
"Your name is ...... Sawyer, right? It's the 'scavenger' who is in charge of the aftermath in Roanapura, why did you come to attack me? ”
Since the girl couldn't move, Gu Wu signaled that Altaïr could relax the restrictions a little, and there was no need for her to be completely unable to make any moves.
Altaïr stared at the girl on the ground, in this remote area, no one dared to come and cause trouble, even if a pedestrian passed by.
Just like the young man Gu Wu helped before, people are reluctant to pay attention to troublesome things that are not linked to their own interests, but they may become angry.
Gu Wu's proposal was not approved by Altair, and her eyes were fixed on the girl who suddenly attacked on the ground.
"Let's break one of her hands and legs first, since she will appear here, she must have the opposite interests of ours."
"Wait, wait, there's no need for that yet, let's make a decision after hearing her."
Altaïr was no gentle person, and she had no intention of sparing her enemies because she had been touched by the scales of the Brilliant Tree Jasmine.
However, Gu Wu didn't think Altaïr was a heinous person, she just acted to achieve her own goals, and from a certain point of view, she was much better than the indecisive protagonists of the royal road.
And her thoughts Gu Wu also understood, after all, Gu Wu himself was the basic one to ensure that Altaïr and Shimazaki lived in that world, after all, they were recognized by Gu Wu and helped by Gu Wu, so Altaïr would not let Gu Wu encounter any danger.
The girl who attacked Gu Wu just now obviously wanted to take the lives of others, and the killing intent that erupted from that small body was extraordinary, and it could be seen that the girl often did such work.
"Let's talk about it, I'll make a decision again depending on the situation."
Speaking of this, Gu Wu looked at Altaïr behind her, and she let out a sigh that only she could hear, slightly reducing the pressure that her ability brought to Sawyer.
Sawyer was only able to speak using artificial vocal cords and microphones due to the removal of his vocal cords in the past.
Gu Wu's persuasion caused Altaïr to relax his suppression of her, so Sawa took out a sounder hanging from his waist and pressed it to his throat.
"Someone asked me to come, that's all, you're the target."
"Of course I know you have an employer, but I've only been on this island for a short time, so why am I being targeted? Or is it ...... The guys who hired you are the gangsters who hunt down the [Black Reef] Chamber of Commerce? ”
"I don't know, the information given by the intermediary, that's all, you are betrayers and robbers."
"Oh, I see......"
Gu Wu seems to have had a bit of an impact, is it true that the kindness last time was a wrong choice?
People who love to laugh will not be unlucky, but good people are likely to get a lot of bad results.
"The manager of the inn last time, I think he should have been killed."
Altair in the rear said what Gu Wu was thinking.
When attacking the kidnapper's base that also served as a gang organization to save Locke, Gu Wu thought that he didn't let others see his appearance clearly, and Altaïr naturally wouldn't let go of such a mistake, so there was only one possibility left.
It seems that the innkeeper is blessed with a fate, not only made up a ridiculous lie, but even hired a killer.
If God were to punish all things in the world, the innkeeper would probably die a terrible death.
It's just that there is no God in this world, and the 'God' in the eyes of the inhabitants of Roanapura is money and bullets, and with these two things, there is basically no worry about food and clothing.
"Then let me make a statement, you and the intermediary you call have been deceived, and I am a simple victim."
"That kind of thing, I don't care, it's a commission that has to be done."
"What a stubborn little girl."
Gu Wu's evaluation made Sawa frown, she looked very disgusted to be treated as a little ghost.
This is also quite normal, after all, this is not the first time Sawa has done such a job, she has already been famous in Roanapura, and it is understandable that she is angry at being so underestimated.
But as a newcomer to the 'tourist', even if it is the right thing to do with the locals, Gu Wu doesn't care about their actions, because they have no necessary connection with the current main plot.
"Then let me give you another chance."
The reason why Gu Wu is so patient is because the object is a child, even if Sawa is a killer, Gu Wu doesn't want to see her 'fall apart' in front of him.
"What do you think about leaving now, so I can spare you?"
"I don't understand, because I haven't lost yet."
Bang knock!! An object fell from the roof of a nearby building, and the man standing above it in the backlight held a pistol in both hands, and his face was covered in shadows, so his expression could not be seen clearly.
The man who kicked over the flower pot on the roof pointed the muzzle of the gun he held in both hands at Gu Wu and Altair.
"Yo yo yo! How many times have you said not to act on your own! But that's okay! I'll clean up these two guys! You guys speed to the corner!! ”
The man looked very confident, and he couldn't help but raise his voice after seeing that Gu Wu and the two of them didn't make any movement.
"This is your last chance!!"
Double guns, handsome, Gu Wu thinks that the man above is the killer Luo Dun who calls himself a 'wizard', to talk about the characteristics of this character......
"I ...... Poof!!! ”
A blade emerged from the air and slashed horizontally at the enemy with Altaïr's weapon, forcing the attacked Rodon to use his twin spears as shields to fend off, only to be knocked flying and slamming headlong into a wall not far away.
At the same time as Rodon was knocked away, a man wearing glasses appeared on the corner of the street, wearing a strong man, he grabbed a flame gun and sprayed the hot flames directly at Gu Wu and Altair.
Gu Wu, whose ability had long since recovered, did not rely on Altair's ability this time, and he summoned a clone of Frieza, which had been used many times, and asked it to suppress the enemy.
"Don't kill me, I'm going to ask."
Frieza's clone rushed out and squashed the muzzle of the flame gun.
"What?!"
Also one of the killer groups, nicknamed 'Torch' Clayton Webber was shocked, and before he could react, he was knocked down by Frieza's breath, and made a close contact with the wall, and the flame gun fell to the side.
Rear! At the same time, Sawyer, who struggled to get up, opened the piano case that she had been staying with her, but the thing inside was indeed a chainsaw.
She stood up and unleashed the chainsaw with incredible force, the roar of which was naturally harsh in the space.
Gu Wu turned around, the girl slammed, and then her chainsaw blade broke, and her abdomen was hit by the gas, rolling and colliding with the corner of the wall.
"It seems that it is your standard practice to show mercy to your subordinates, and do all the enemies in your eyes have the value of your survival?"
"Miss Altair doesn't want blood all over the place, does she? And they're more familiar with this place than we are, so they probably have information they don't know about Black Reef, after all, the employers these guys have been in contact with aren't good people. ”
"The information I got from them is of little value to me, if anything......
Altaïr looked at the three killers lying on the ground.
"I don't think they'll tell the truth, and the existence of overlapping malice and killing intent is only worth fighting others."
Gu Wu also understood Altaïr's point of view, but he was still unwilling to let go of the slightest opportunity.
"Can we talk now?"
Sawyer, a girl whose weapons were destroyed and people were sent flying, was hiding in the corner, and she was much weaker than the demon-like appearance just now.
As for the reason, her sounder had fallen in the distance, but he couldn't move with injuries to his legs and abdomen.
"Here you go."
Gu Wu, who walked over and picked it up, returned it to Zoya, and the girl who was the killer showed the expression of an ordinary girl for the first time, a bit like the excitement and peace of mind when she received a gift.
"What do you want to ask?"
Sawyer seems intent on talking.
"Since you've had a lot of jobs, you probably know that a mansion was attacked last night, right? Where are they headquartered? ”
"You mean the bombed mansion?"
"Bombing?"
"Not bombing, or what?"
Gu Wu thought about it carefully, the damage he and Altaïr caused to that mansion was indeed a fight with the bombing.
"They hired me too, but that wasn't the job, they weren't overstaffed and the big army was ...... From now on, it will come in two days. ”
Two days later, it's a useful piece of information.
So Gu Wu looked at Altair, she was thinking, so he didn't bother her.
"That's a good answer, but it's not an example, you know?"
"I'm just ......"
"You should understand how to answer."
Altaïr broke Rodon's Clayton Webb's arm in the back, and Sawyer, who saw the scene, nodded in response.
Before the conversation was over, Gu Wu suddenly heard a loud noise, and there was an explosion in the distance, and he could see the black smoke coming out of the alley.
That direction is......
Before Gu Wu could confirm it, there was another explosion.
"That's the direction of the ...... [Black Reef] Chamber of Commerce."
Gu Wu and Altaïr ignored these killers who posed no threat and began to rush to the location of the explosion.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know how to buy clothes."
Back in his room, Benny looked at Kerry in the clothes he had bought, and said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, I'd like to throw those clothes away anyway."
Kerry is currently wearing a white sleeveless jacket with a light blue T-shirt and beige cropped pants on the lower body, which is Barney's 'girly casual wear' recommended by the store manager.
In order to buy such a set of clothes, Barney was also made a lot of jokes by the store manager.
Hearing what Kerry had just said, Barney looked at the dirty laundry piled up there.
"Those clothes are worth a lot of money."
"I don't know, I don't care about clothes, but I don't know where the box with the books is the one I care about, it's the storybook that my mother bought for me."
"That's right."
Barney saw that Kerry didn't mention the necklace she had given him at all, and he didn't take it out himself.
Before, Barney planned to be a pawn, but after thinking about it, he was not very short of money now, so he finally used his savings to buy a random set of clothes.
"How long will it take for your parents to pick you up? I'm not going to take care of you all the time. ”
"Don't treat people like children! I'll leave in a moment! ”
Speaking of which, Kerry walked up to Barney and held out his hand at the end.
"What?"
"Barney, don't you want to swallow all the money you got from the necklace, even if you buy clothes, you should have some leftovers, I won't let you return all of them to me, just give me a part of the travel expenses."
"To put it simply, you think you can just find someone to take you away as long as you pay the money?"
"Isn't that right?"
"It used to be possible, but it was estimated that this time was difficult."
Kerry tilted his head in confusion, and Barney pointed to the street outside.
"There is a lot of panic all over the town, some chambers of commerce are in trouble, everyone is worried about being involved, and ships entering and leaving the port are more likely to be intercepted."
Roanapura has the rules of Roanapura, and those who are strong can make their own rules.
"I don't think you'll be able to get out of here."
"That'...... What to do. ”
Seeing the girl in front of him frustrated, Barney thought for a moment.
"Let's go to work first!"
As soon as he finished saying this, a violent explosion sounded outside the house.
"Look."
Barney sighed.
"Roanapura is not a gentle place."
