Chapter 187: Once Upon a Time on Mars (2)
Alita looked at Jiang Nan with some frustration, like a child who has lost her most beloved toy, Jiang Nan patted her shoulder and said softly: "It's okay Alita, I'll take you to an interesting place." β
Alita asked, "What is it?" β
Jiang Nan smiled and said, "You come with me, fighting can stimulate your potential, I will take you to a place where people are gathered to fight and kill people every day, a gathering place of bounty hunters." β
Bounty hunter, the word suddenly gave Alita an idea. said, "Didn't Dr. Ed himself sign up as a bounty hunter?" Because the villains killed her daughter, he became a bounty hunter and had to slowly kill all the evildoers. Then I'm going to register as a bounty hunter too, do you want to accompany me to Jiangnan? β
Jiang Nan smiled, why don't you go, you can just explore the reality of the so-called factory, and have a deeper understanding of the world, isn't this a good way, then you can register as a Rausch bounty hunter.
Jiang Nan and Alita came to the factory together, walked into the door, and found that on both sides were the kind of stocky robots named "Centurion", which looked like tanks, but in fact, the armor was probably much thicker than the tanks in the real world, at the end of the corridor, there was a pillar of light, Jiangnan and Alita walked forward along the corridor, and there was a platform in front of the pillar of light between them, and there was a small circular hole in the middle of the platform, and a cylinder metal rod stretched out from the hole, But in the face of Jiangnan and Alita, a human face appeared on the metal rod, and he spoke, asking, "Please explain your intentions." β
Jiang Nan listened to the cold words of the humanoid metal rod and thought to himself, isn't this the demon he wants to kill in his own cultivation? If his Dharma Body was here, I am afraid that he would not be able to help but reveal the idea of wanting to kill this demon.
Leaving aside this idea, Jiang Nan said, "Both of us are here to register as bounty hunters. β
As soon as the words fell, the guns that were originally aimed at Jiangnan Alita slowly turned back to their original positions.
Jiangnan and Alita registered as bounty hunters as they wished, and Jiangnan said to Alita: "I'll take you to a place now, and that bar has gathered a lot of bounty hunters. β
Alita nodded and said, "We have to unite them against those evil people, such as that Gruishka, and Nova in Salem." β
Jiang Nan shook his head with a wry smile, thinking, "Not to mention that these bounty hunters will definitely not listen to your call to fight against some meaningless people together, even if all of them join the rebellion army, I am afraid they will definitely not be Nova's opponents, even if they go to Sky City, they will not be able to do it." β
Although Jiang Nan thought so, but looking at Alita, who was full of enthusiasm, he still couldn't bear to hit her, and accompanied her towards the bar, and the two stood at the door of the bar, about to go out. Suddenly, Alita squatted down excitedly and said, "Ah, little guy, you are still here, did you come to me on a special trip?" β
Jiang Nan lowered his head and saw that it was a puppy. The puppy seemed to know Alita, and ran to her feet to rub it, looking particularly intimate.
As if seeing an old friend, Alita happily picked up the dog and introduced it to Jiangnan: "I fed this dog before, but I didn't expect him to remember me." The words revealed happiness, but this incident brought a novel feeling to Jiangnan, a feeling that he couldn't feel in his Dharma body. As I get stronger and stronger, I have gradually lost some of the joys, sorrows and sorrows of normal people, because many people feel that they will not experience, will not feel, will not get sick, will not grow old, and will not be sad. The dharma body that extinguishes emotions and desires like a god seems so dissatisfied at this moment, Jiang Nan is glad that he walks in the world in the form of a mortal to feel these most plain and simple loves.
Alita couldn't let go of the puppy anymore, so she walked into the bar with the puppy and Jiang Nan.
The people in the bar all looked back at the two of them, and when they saw Alita, everyone's eyes widened, and the good deeds were even eager to do something to this cute girl. When their eyes swept to Jiangnan, their expressions suddenly changed, and they hurriedly looked away, not daring to look at the two.
Alita looked back at Jiangnan strangely and asked, "Why do they seem to be afraid of you?" β
Jiang Nan smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing, there was just a little episode between me and them before." β
Alita asked with some curiosity, "What vignette?" β
"Uh... It's just that one of them is a great person, and it's not a big deal. Jiang Nan said.
At this time, the bounty hunters thought to themselves: "This kid who cleaned up the scum Pan is back again, we don't dare to mess with this girl next to him, the scum Pan is so powerful, he was beaten so badly by a kid who has not been reformed, we don't dare to touch this mold easily." β
Alita cleared her throat and said to everyone, "My brother bounty hunters, there is a villain named Gruishka who killed many women but did not make it to the bounty list, apparently there is someone covering him, let's unite and get rid of this great demon." β
Jiang Nan covered his face and didn't know what to say, this Alita was really naΓ―ve, except for her own idleness, which of these bounty hunters would put themselves in danger because of this sentence or the so-called justice, and go to fight with that irrelevant Gruishka.
At this moment, the outer wall of the bar was suddenly broken, and a deep voice said, "Who just said that you were going to clean me up?" β
The person who came was none other than Gruishka, who was still a giant man who looked like a small mountain, but the bounty hunters present clearly saw the difference in him, and they all discussed what happened to this Gruishka, completely changed.
Yes, his upper body now looks like a robot from a movie, with five hooks hanging from his left hand, which seems to be a sharp weapon that can be fired.
Gruishka smiled and asked, "As the little girl asked just now, is any of you going to stand up against me?" β
A drunk man who looked like a newcomer said with a big grin: "What are you, don't make a lot of noise about drinking here!" β
Gruishka raised his left hand, and several large iron hooks shot out like sharp arrows, and the man fell in a pool of blood. Gruishka said: "Does anyone else have the courage to stand up? β
The people present looked at such a powerful monster and retreated, and no one wanted to risk their lives for this matter.
Only Alita, standing in the center with her fists clenched, while Jiangnan stood on her left side with her hands clasped up, and the puppy suddenly jumped out of Alita's arms and barked angrily at Gruishka.
Gruishka smiled and said, "Hahaha, the only thing with courage turned out to be a dog, and after saying that, he trampled the puppy into a pulp. β
Alita looked at the blood oozing from the floor, and some memories suddenly came to her mind, and words came to her mouth, as if she had liked to say this for a long time, or liked to do so. Alita dipped her right hand in some puppy blood, drew a bar on the left and right cheeks, and muttered, "I will not stand idly by in the face of evil!" β
