Chapter 49, Assassination
Hades was out on the street, and his companion was again late, much to his frustration. After all, this is already the tenth time of the year.
"Ahem, it's only ten times!" Hades sighed, looked up at the overcast sky, and read, "Alas, it's going to rain again......"
After waiting for a full five minutes, the stick fairy was late. He was dressed in black, with a hood on his head, his long stick behind his back, and his eyes as sharp as a sword.
"Coming?"
"Here we are."
The two knew each other very well, and they didn't have much to do with each other, and went straight to their destination.
It was getting cloudier, and the occasional cold wind mixed with a little dampness made people tighten their collars and speed up their walking.
The two of them turned a deaf ear to the increasing wind. They have long been out of the confines of normal humans, and they have no sense of such a chill at all.
It was getting dark, and there were more and more people on the road. Every night is full of temptations.
Impetuous people boil at night, and boiling people are quiet at night, this is the truth of human development to this day.
The two of them were still walking, they walked from one end of the city to the other, and no one knew what they wanted to do or where they were going.
The terrible wind stopped suddenly, and the oppressive feeling caused by the increase in air pressure made people irritated for no reason. Next, the rain fell......
The two were still walking, and when others were angrily scolding the impermanence of God and the cheating of the weather forecast, the two still did not say a word.
The bean-sized raindrops smashed on the ground, making a crisp sound. However, in the eyes of those who don't understand elegance, this is just a spell to urge people to go home.
The two didn't pay any attention to what was happening around them, they didn't even raise their heads, they just buried their heads in the road. There's a lot going on tonight......
The rain became more and more urgent, and the two finally reached their destination. This is a newly built community, and the key middle school opposite the community will undoubtedly be an important purpose for parents to buy these properties.
The two did not walk directly into the community, they seemed to be a little hesitant about the building in front of them.
Hades took out two umbrellas from the bag he had been carrying behind his back, and then threw away the bag of several hundred dollars.
One for oneself, one for the stick fairy, as if that bag exists for these two umbrellas.
"Let's go." Hades said in a hoarse voice.
With that, he buried his head and walked into the community. The stick fairy was still standing in place, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with Hades, he slowly walked into the community and disappeared into the night......
On the top floor of a high-rise building in the community, a middle-aged man is holding a blue pen in his hand and writing something on the paper quickly.
He had already laid a magical barrier around here, and no fly would dare to fly in and harm himself. It's just that...... own children......
"Alas......" The middle-aged man put down his pen and rubbed his temples with his right hand, he hadn't slept for several days.
He was thinking about all the plans in his head, and as a time-traveler, he felt that he had to do something big. And this great thing is to save the common people.
That's good, everyone has ideals, it's just that the way to achieve them and the time to change them are different.
But he was different, he was a magician, the only person in the world who could do magic. And the only one who can accomplish his own purpose.
The middle-aged man's eyes shone with a sharp light, and at this moment, he swept away the haze of decadence just now, which was in stark contrast to the heavy rain outside.
"Xiao Li! Bring me another cup of coffee......" The middle-aged man commanded, but half a day passed, and there was still no response outside.
"Xiao Li?" The middle-aged man shouted again, "Did you go out to buy something again?" He muttered to himself.
The middle-aged man stood up, yawned, and turned to walk out of the house he hadn't been out of for days.
"Hah......" he yawned again, and his left hand began to rub his eyes incessantly, "Why are you getting more and more sleepy...... Wrong! Who's there! ”
The middle-aged man put his two hands on his chest, and a staff instantly appeared in his hand. And his eyes were sharp to scan every corner of the room.
Sofa, TV, coffee table, refrigerator......
It's impossible to hide people in every corner, is it really because I'm too worried? Also, how did they find me?
Shaking his head and chuckling, the middle-aged man put away his staff and prepared to bring himself a cup of coffee.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in the corner, and the blue tip of the pen pierced the middle-aged man's throat like a broken bamboo.
The middle-aged man secretly said that it was not good, although the corner of his eye skimmed the enemy, but his body had no time to react......
Clutching his neck, the middle-aged man fell to the ground. He didn't struggle, and he didn't get angry. He just thought to himself, "Goodbye, my daughter." ”
The king of Hades, who had received the move, seemed to have noticed something, and his pupils immediately condensed, and he didn't care about the magician on the ground, turned around and grabbed the stick fairy and rushed towards the glass.
In mid-air, the two fell straight down. If people have sharp eyes, they may be able to see the expression on their faces: one is anxious, the other is confused.
"Boom!" The original floor exploded in an instant, and the huge impact caused the two of them to accelerate their fall, flashing away like meteors falling into the sky.
In a store at the entrance of the community, a young man in his twenties was carrying a large bag and lined up to pay.
The explosion that came in an instant attracted the attention of everyone around, and he was naturally no exception.
Looking out through the glass of the store, smoke billowed from the building, and the occasional scream told him that something was wrong!
Leaving the shopping bag in his hand, the goods rolled impatiently to the ground, startling the already frightened people again.
The man pushed away the melon-eating crowd in front of him, and despite the dissuasion of the clerk, he ran towards the community at the speed of a 100-meter race.
Looking at the familiar house number, the familiar grass and trees, the man's face distorted.
"I ...... Are you dreaming? He repeated the words in his head, but the sky was filled with raindrops that had been infected by the explosion. All this told him that it was not a dream......
At the corners of the eyes, drop by drop, the droplets are disassembled into several rows and gently passed over the corners of the mouth. Well, it's a little salty.
The man stood there for a long time, then he lifted his feet and bowed his head into the darkness......
In the grass below the floor, the stick fairy was holding on to his stick and trying to stand up, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, and his clothes were not spared.
Hades didn't look hurt. He just looked up at the sky, the expression on his face changed several times, and the fists in his hands tightened and loosened.
Eventually, he sighed and looked at the stick fairy who was struggling on the ground. He opened his hand, helped his teammates up, and said, "Mission accomplished......
The stick fairy grabbed Hades' hand and struggled to get up, he was so shocked by the explosion that his internal organs were still churning and his blood was boiling.
"It's a pity...... It's all blown up......" Hades sighed. He shook his head, lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and pulled the stick fairy to walk outside the community.
It's good to be alive again......
Xiao Li looked up at the sky, the rain seemed to be a little lighter, who knows? Every day, every moment, everyone can look up at the day, and sometimes, people will find some strange clouds and treat them as a strange thing, but they don't know that it is just the simplest concoction they give themselves.
If you look up at the sky for a long time, people will probably understand that the so-called sky is only blue, and the so-called clouds are only white. As for their shape, you should go and thank the wind......
Xiao Li likes the wind, he feels the coolness of the breeze, the joy mixed with the rain, and the smell of gunsmoke.
Throwing away the cigarette butt in his hand, Xiao Li had already come to the top floor. Now, it's a rooftop. Looking down from the tall buildings, the streets are full of ants.
The unwitting police, under the leadership of the informed leader, have done all the tasks brilliantly, protecting the mood of the masses, saying some clichés or scenes to get things done, and the rest is just to use the money to buy some sailors to spread some good words to the government.
Anyway, it was an accident, and so far, no one has died. Anyway, even if it's dead, for some people who hang high, money can fill everything up.
Indeed, in this world, all problems that can be solved with money are not a matter. On the other hand, as long as you have money, you can almost only find something to do.
Xiao Li watched like this, watching the police disperse the crowd of onlookers.
Some people are like this, obviously things have nothing to do with them, but they just want to stand up, either to watch a play, or to "point out the maze".
It's better to say that it is the essence of human nature. It's hard to say who can point out the maze, some of them have received money to do things, and some of them really understand the course of events.
But the most, it's still sluts.
Yes, that's right, they are cheap, the kind of cheapness on the surface, but the sad thing is that it is this kind of slut that can also have a group of "compatriots" who smell the same as him. While laughing at others, complain about your own life.
In the end, they did leave a good point for people, that is, they made everyone understand that there are many sluts in society.
Xiao Li doesn't care what those imaginative guys say, he is really tired, obviously he was fine just now, but it became a thing of the past in the blink of an eye, and the reality is really like a dream bubble, and it will be broken when he stabs it.
There is nothing left on the rooftop on the top floor, except that the ground is quite flat, leaving Xiao Li as a companion, only a few pits smashed out of the ceiling.
Walking gently in the ruins, Xiao Li's eyes were full of sadness, he didn't speak, just sat down silently, he was tired......
He didn't find the body of the magician, maybe he didn't have a body? Maybe he's still alive? It's hard to say. But Xiao Li knew that it was his benefactor. Since his life is his, let's continue his career......
Maybe it was providence, or maybe the remnants of the magician were still there, and a blue pen rolled down Xiao Li's side.
"This is ......" Xiao Li's eyes seemed to have more light, he quickly picked up the pen and took it to the front of him for observation.
This one is still the same as before, it seems that it has not experienced the changes just now, and it is still as clean as ever. There is no trace of the cap being pulled off, and it is neatly placed on the nib, looking shiny and translucent.
Xiao Li looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, he stuffed the pen into his pocket and ran downstairs quickly. As for the ruins, the police will be happy to sort them out......
