11. For whom does the bell ring? (1) [10/100]
Gotham is a city of 800 inhabitants, and although the level of security has been declining in recent years, it is also a famous big city in the country, so many people enter here every year.
Making a living, or going to someone, most of the time, this movement represents a kind of prosperity, the ability to absorb talent from all regions for their own use, but in Gotham, there is something else that comes with this movement in addition to prosperity.
Makmosi was entertaining his fellow countryman from Central City, who also had one-eighth Russian ancestry.
This craftsman is the leader of the Russian gangsters in Xicheng District, he inherited the strong body of his ancestors in the Siberian Plain, 30 years old, he was young, after he inherited his position 5 years ago, the Russian gangsters that could only be regarded as the middle rose rapidly and became the overlord of Xicheng District.
However, after Maloney took over the already fragmented Falconi gang, Maximi's supremacy in Xicheng District was seriously threatened, and when it came to force, he was not afraid of Maloney, but the gangsters were indispensable to the people who gave advice, and the Russian gangs were notoriously xenophobic, and the miserable suppressed Makmosi finally hit his hometown with the idea.
"Hahaha, Leonard, you must stay in Gotham for a few more days this time!"
Makmosi gave the thin young man in front of him, but with short blond hair, a warm hug, patted him on the shoulder with a kind of Russian boldness, and said angrily,
"Just make this your home, my nephew, but I've heard that you've turned down an offer to NYU, what's going on?"
In the face of Makmosi's inquiry, the young man named Leonard touched his chin and showed a smile that was calm to indifferent,
"It's nothing, it's just that my sister is more naughty, I don't worry about her staying alone in Central City, and I'd rather do something practical than the boring knowledge in collegeUncle Maximi, this time I'm here to ask you for help. β
The leader of the Russian gang laughed, reached out and twisted open a bottle of vodka, took a sip, and let out a pleasant moan, and several scantily clad blondes came out with all kinds of dishes, and placed them in front of the uncle and nephew, who scratched their heads and gestured, but did not receive even the slightest attention from the two of them.
"Say, my nephew, what do you want me to do for you?"
Makmosi's fingers tapped on the fancy dining table in front of him, his eyes full of generosity and a hint of appreciation.
Unlike him, who was a complete reckless man, the thin but handsome young man sitting in front of him was a well-known genius in their family, but his drunkard father often abused them, but unfortunately at that time, Maximi was just a wandering gangster in Central City, and he couldn't help his nephews and nieces, and by the time he returned to Gotham to inherit his father's position, Leonard's father would have died long ago.
But he has never severed contact with his nephew, he has long felt that sooner or later, he will need the wisdom of his genius-like nephew, and he can feel that Leonard, who is like an ordinary high school student, has a poisonous snake hidden in his heart.
That's what he needs with a bear and a snake, and that's what Maloney?
"I want to borrow two people, two people who have the ability to steal and can be trusted. β
Leonard took a sip of strong vodka and whispered, "I have a crush on a necklace from the Central City Exhibition Hall, and my sister likes her so much that I want to bring it to her as a present for her 16th birthday." β
If it were an ordinary family, hearing Leonard's narration, it would probably jump in fright, but when Makmosi, a guy born in a gangster family, heard it, he patted his thigh fiercely and said with a smile on his face,
"It's really a genius of our Snaith family, man, I'm just here to complete your plan?"
Leonard nodded confidently,
"Don't worry, Uncle Maximi, I'm 70% sure. β
"Okay, then let's"
"Bang"
A loud bang interrupted the discussion between Maximi and Leonard, and then a frantically lit flame completely destroyed the buildings outside the Maximsie mansion in the blink of an eye, and the uncle and nephew felt the ground tremble, and the explosion sounded as if it sounded in their ears.
"What's wrong {Hell, what's going on!}
Maxmosi drew the pistol from his waist, shielded his nephew behind him, and shouted out the door, but no one answered.
"Bang Bang"
After the explosion, there was a torrential rain of gunfire, and the screams that erupted when someone was dying, that kind of dense frequency, made Maximi's face change greatly, he had been doing this for 6 years, he could hear it at once, there were at least 30 active weapons firing together, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the hanging bell hanging on the wall.
"! 20:44, it's not midnight {Who's the hell!?}
Leonard, who was protected by him, had a look on his face that was hard to see, and there was a trace of fear that could not be concealed, no matter what kind of person he would become in the future, but at least for now, he was just a recent high school graduate, and he was still planning the first robbery in his life.
How could he not be afraid?
"Uncle, it's time for us to go!"
Leonard grabbed Maxo Mossi who was trying to rush out, and shouted anxiously, "Only by paralyzing yourself can you have the capital to retaliate, they are obviously coming at you, let's go!"
"Bang"
The trolling light emitted by the ornate crystal chandelier above the heads of the two was completely extinguished at this moment, and the lavishly decorated hall that was full of light just now was shrouded in endless darkness in an instant, and several panicked screams came from other rooms, it was the dancing girl that Maximi had raised, the blondes just now, Maximi's personal plaything.
This sudden darkness made the leader of the Russian gang frightened in his heart, he heard Leonard's reminder, and he subconsciously reacted.
"Fuck it must be Maloney's bastard, Leonard, my nephew, let's go, and when I get back, we'll have to fuck that old bastard!"
He turned around and pulled out a black bag from under the dining table, it was an emergency item he had prepared for a long time, and it was not easy for everyone who could get into the position of a gangster, even the reckless Maximi.
"Leonard, grab it, let's go!"
"Leonard, you're waiting"
Maximi shouted in the darkness, but received no response, and he turned back with some annoyance, and saw Leonard's figure rushing towards the corner,
"Boom"
The ground shook again, and the thick door behind the two of them flew out in all directions in pieces under the direct bombardment of grenades, and all the glass of the entire building was shattered, smashing on the ground, those panicked screams, those begging for mercy, and those dying voices were completely drowned out by the big explosion that blocked everything at this moment.
Leonard, who was hiding in the corner, was dazed by the shock wave, his chest ached, his eyes were blackened, and he felt that even his breath became hot, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, while his uncle, the bear-like Maxi, was blown up in the first wave of explosion and slammed to the floor.
Leonard's ears were ringing, and he opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw the chaotic rain of light caused by bullets cutting through the darkness outside the villa, the dazzling fire of the grenade explosion, and the noisy shouts echoing in his ears, and those wails before death, this terrifying scene was like a rewind of a black and white movie, replayed, and replayed footage, constantly flashing before his eyes.
Then, in the light of the burning fire of the things in the house that had been ignited by the explosion, he saw a dark red figure, walking step by step into the dark hall on the ground full of devastation, like a Middle Eastern theater of war.
He was wearing a special suit of armor with an angular outfit, a straight-edged knife diagonally behind his back, a dark red ghost face on his face, and his special-textured combat boots clicked against the broken glass on the ground.
With a large-caliber pistol in his left hand, he stepped forward, the darkness seemed to stop his eyes, he just glanced at Leonard lying in the corner, and then saw Maxosi lying on the ground moaning.
"Oh, Maximi Russian gangster boss, I want to ask, I'm not looking for the wrong person, am I?"
Cyber squatted beside Maxmosi, he patted the big man's cheek with the pistol in his hand, but failed to wake him up, probably because he was seriously injured in the explosion just now, which undoubtedly made Cyber very unhappy, so he inserted the gun in his hand back into the holster, and gently wiped it on his belt, and a cold light jumped into his palm.
As Leonard watched, the dark red monster raised its dagger in the air and stabbed it down, swearing, he could even hear the blade crashing against the hard ground.
"Click"
"Ah!!h
The pain of the piercing palm of his hand woke up Maximi from his confusion, and he opened his eyes, not even caring about Cyber who was close at hand, but bursting into the palm of his nailed palm and screaming,
"Bastard, who is it, bastard, bastard!"
"Bang"
His left leg was shot by a bullet, his bones shattered, and blood splattered, which made his roar turn into a wail again, but Cyber had heard enough of the wail, and the entire Maximi gang lair was swept away by him and the Devil's Gang who would follow him.
There were no more living people here, and the dying wails of those men had not diminished his anger even the slightest.
"Your roar is so ugly, can you shut up?"
Cyber asked softly, Maximi couldn't hear him at all, or rather, the boss of the Russian gang, who had been crushed by pain, didn't care what Cyber said.
"Well, it's really uncomfortable for people who can't understand people, but it's okay, there are 11 more guys like you."
"Goodbye, go to hell to confess your sins. β
Cyber tilted his head and retook the pistol from the holster under his arm, and after 2 seconds, "bang"
Maxothy's body throbbed violently, and then all the movement completely subsided, and the hustle and bustle of darkness became completely quiet at this moment, so quiet that it made people shudder, and it seemed that there was no living thing in the quiet.
But in fact, at least when the gunshot rang out, Leonard's body shrank in the corner, this young man had not never seen dead people, he had been using his vicious wisdom since he entered high school to advise the gangs of Central City, and more than one person died under his design.
Leonard Snaith had always felt that killing someone was a simple and boring thing to do, but tonight, in another shocking way, Cyber told the kid how cruel, how terrible, and how terrifying it could be.
Under the dim light of darkness, the dark red armor seemed to be stained red by the blood spilled by Maxosi, and Leonard didn't even dare to look up at him, he felt a cold rising from within.
Cyber saw Leonard shivering in the corner, he could see Leonard's face clearly in the dark, it was still a child, so he beckoned, "Child, come, come!"
Leonard didn't know how he got to Cyber's side, but his crazy instinct told him he better do what the guy said.
"You're not from the Makmosi gang, are you?"
Cyber patted him on the shoulder, took a box of cigars from Maxothy's blood-soaked pocket, took out two, one into Leonard's mouth, and the other took it in his own mouth, lit it, and in the mellow taste mixed with blood, Cyber whispered,
"You see, I used to think that the gangsters would surrender without a fight when faced with a threat because they were a bunch of cowardly rats, but sadly, this time they crossed the line. β
"Do you know what the Lower City is out of bounds?"
Cyber let out a low laugh from under the mask, "It's death, kid. β
He was like a babbling nervous being, beside the frightened Leonard, beside the shattered corpse of Maximi, he muttered to himself in the dark, he had no audience, and he didn't need an audience.
"Since there are always people who like to see the world burning, let me fulfill their wishes. β
