Chapter 73 Uninvited Guests
After every battle, the Knicks had a habit of taking care of their armor.
Originally created by Joseph Eugene, the base research institute has continued to upgrade and improve it during the battle, and the performance and power are not the same as those of the original version, even in terms of styling.
Nyx is becoming more and more proficient in the use of this armor, it is no longer just a weapon, but more like a close friend, and Nyx will take the time to repair every wear and tear on its body, wipe away stains, and keep it looking as good as new.
Suddenly, the Knicks stopped what they were doing, wary.
"Captain Knicks."
A familiar voice sounded behind him without warning.
It turned out to be Dr. Eugene, who has never returned to the Hellfire Legion since the Rio attack and the killing of Odore, and has not seen again, completely disappearing from the sight of Hellfire.
Dr. Eugene didn't appear alone with the Knicks, and next to him stood a purple-haired girl dressed strangely, wearing a leather tight-fitting suit with two double-ended daggers pinned to her waist.
"What an uninvited guest, Doctor," Knicks said, squinting.
"It's been a while, Knicks."
"What are you doing back? Odoror is dead, everything is very different here, are you here for Felix? ”
"No", Dr. Eugene shook his head, walked over to the Nyx's armor, and patted it, this was originally his invention, strictly speaking, it was an imitation, even if the appearance has changed now, its inner core is the same, this is the best weapon.
"I'm here for you, Captain."
"Me?"
"Is there anyone else here?"
Knicks was surprised, "With all due respect, we've never been very close. ”
"General O'Dore is dead, and the Hellfire Legion needs a leader now", Dr. Eugene gets straight to the point.
"Felix is already the Supreme Commander here."
"He killed his father, a patricide."
Nicks narrowed his eyes, "Dr. Joseph Eugene, the famous Dr. Joseph Eugene, who made weapons that helped Hellfire slaughter millions of people, do you think such a person would care about these morals?" ”
Eugene shook his head self-deprecatingly and lifted his glasses.
"No, of course I don't stick to that. Objectively speaking, Felix undoubtedly has unparalleled determination and talent, he breaks the old and brings forth the new, I believe that under his leadership, Hellfire will be stronger than in the past, but his biggest problem is that he ignores the rules, all plans become uncertain because of his will, he will incur destruction, he is not a good leader. ”
"It's just your guess, not everyone thinks so. Of course, those people can't influence your independent judgment, so, so what, so what are you going to do? ”
"I think you're a good candidate," Dr. Eugene said, his eyes burning.
"You're really not good at demagoguery, you want to make the assassination of the Supreme Commander of the Legion a second time?"
Nix sneered, then slowly walked to the window to look, but didn't see anything unusual outside.
Then she walked to the table, opened the drawer below, and unhurriedly took out her pistol, reloading the magazine one by one.
"Click".
The magazine was pushed into the pistol, and the trigger safety was closed.
Dr. Eugene and the purple-haired girl watched in silence as Knicks moved.
That is until Nicks raises his pistol and aims it at Dr. Eugene.
"I don't think there's any point in talking nonsense with you all the time, and I don't know how many of your people are in this base, after all, with your qualifications, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's deep-rooted, but at this moment, the gun in my hand is facing you, the bullet is loaded, and the muzzle is less than three meters away from your eyebrows, I give you two choices, first, confess your true purpose, I want to listen to the truth, and second, guess if you can dodge this bullet."
The purple-haired girl, who had been bored for a long time, suddenly flashed in her eyes.
But Dr. Eugene was still in his chest, and said calmly: "What I said is the truth, if you don't believe it, you can shoot, I won't dodge." ”
As soon as Dr. Eugene finished speaking, the Knicks directly expressed his attitude by pulling the trigger of the pistol.
Don't give the other party time to regret it at all!
"Bang!"
But this shot was not aimed at Joseph Eugene, but moved the muzzle slightly at the moment of shooting, and the bullet was fired at the purple-haired girl who had been silent.
The Knicks knew about Dr. Eugene, he was a dangerous man, but not in close combat, and the purple-haired girl who came with him, she didn't know anything about it, she had never met this person.
It's the unknown that makes people feel threatened.
Therefore, this shot was aimed at the purple-haired girl, not at the heart or brain and other critical positions, which was not only a test of reality but also a threat elimination.
If you can avoid it, it is a test of reality and reality; If you can't dodge, you won't be killed, but the threat will be eliminated.
But to the surprise of the Nix, the spontaneous girl did not hide at all.
I saw that the purple arc lit up instantly, and a cold sword shadow slashed from the bottom to the top, and with a "ding" sound, the bullet was actually cut in half, shot diagonally to both sides, and sank into the wall.
Fast!
It's so fast!
Nicks' pupils contracted violently, and she couldn't see the purple-haired girl's movements clearly, but she could roughly capture how she blocked the bullet from the afterimage.
The purple-haired girl is naturally the unique Lilith Kirk, and if Ning Fei is here, she can see that Lilith has not done her best at all just now.
Lilith apparently didn't understand why the shot was aimed at her, she didn't care about the conversation between the two, she wasn't interested in politics or intrigue, she was only responsible for bringing Dr. Eugene here.
But after blocking the bullet, she felt the hostility of the Knicks, and the murderous aura began to permeate.
"Stop, Lilith."
Dr. Eugene immediately reached out to stop her, shaking his head, he didn't dare to let Lilith go, once Lilith entered the killing state, no one could control her, and Nix couldn't die here yet.
Just when the Knicks were in shock, the nearby guards heard the gunshot, and immediately alerted, and quickly organized people to run to the Knicks and blocked the door.
"Captain Nix! Any questions? A soldier with a loaded gun knocked tentatively on the door.
After seeing the strength of the purple-haired girl, Nix really began to be afraid, so he put down the pistol, raised his hands, signaled that he would no longer make aggressive movements, and then walked towards the door step by step, carefully.
"Everything's fine."
"I seem to hear gunshots."
"It's just a misfire."
"Please open the door, I need to confirm your safety in person."
The more Nix said this, the more the guard did not dare to be perfunctory, after all, there was no precedent for breaking into the base and causing a major security incident.
The Knicks were helpless, and it seemed that a massacre was inevitable.
"Squeak".
The door opened.
Several soldiers quickly broke in, each occupying an offensive and defensive position, and the two cooperated tacitly, looking for a hidden location, but found nothing except two bullet holes in the wall and the pistol that Nicks had just used on the table.
Nicks discovers that Dr. Eugene and the purple-haired girl are missing, the moment she opens the door.
Only the window glass was slightly pushed over.
The soldier who broke in first looked at the bullet holes in two different positions on the wall, but didn't think too much, and only apologized to Nix: "Sorry Captain, I took the liberty of interrupting, we have confirmed that there is no threat factor." ”
