Chapter 105: Melinda being teased
When gunshots rang out one after another, and the two viscounts were headshot by S.H.I.E.L.D. snipers, Benjamin, who was covered in wounds, was already full of despair, closed his eyes and prepared to die.
Because the sniper in the distance, after taking out two vampire viscounts who are more threatening than him, there is no reason to let him go.
But the bullets of the sniper rifle did not fly for a long time, and the deafening sound of the M4A1 carbine disappeared from the ears, but a slightly exclamating man's voice came: "I advised you before, don't wait until the moment of life and death to pawn, otherwise the price you pay will be even greater, so big that it is beyond your imagination!" ”
"Boss Jiang?"
After Benjamin opened his eyes, he looked around at the familiar decorations and ornaments in Jiang's pawn shop, and looked down at his neat suit in disbelief before turning his head to look out the window.
After this look, he was completely blinded!
Not only were all the injuries on his body healed, but even the beggar's suit had changed back to his previous straight suit, and looking out from the pawn shop, it turned out to be a normal scene on the street of Houston.
Not only is there no mingling, but occasionally a taxi or two and a late pedestrian pass by, so it is a harmonious and quiet city night.
"Boss Jiang, this, this ......" After turning around, Benjamin looked at Ellis, who was sitting opposite Melinda, and stammered a little.
"Don't go anywhere here, just take what you see now as an illusion!" Ellis glanced at Benjamin, who was curiously looking at Melinda, who suddenly appeared in the pawn shop, and didn't know that she had been hallucinating, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:
"Don't think about it, all your injuries are still there, and you're just doing this to make it easier for us to talk!"
"Hallucinations?" Melinda keenly grasped the word in Ellis's words, and looked at Ellis at the same time as Benjamin.
"That's right, you're in a fantasy that I deliberately created, so all you see are illusions!"
After receiving the affirmation, Melinda's face instantly turned ugly.
In a short period of time, she thought a lot.
First of all, this illusion is likely to be directed at her, because Benjamin appears in a very abrupt way, and after he appears, whether it is the furnishings in the pawn shop or the occasional car honking from the streets of Hollywood, it is not much different from before.
And Ellis was already mysterious, so he didn't know that he had already discovered the reinforcements sent by Nick Fury.
Although I don't understand why he didn't express his dissatisfaction with himself because of this, or just clean himself up, since he specially created such a fantasy to paralyze himself, nine times out of ten it was because of what happened outside the pawn shop, and it was a major event related to S.H.I.E.L.D.
So after thinking of this, Melinda immediately said goodbye, planning to go out to see what happened: "Boss Jiang, since the pawn has been completed, and the time is very late, I will go back first!" ”
"The reaction is pretty fast!" Ellis didn't stop Melinda from leaving, and when she was about to get to the pawn shop, she chuckled nonchalantly.
Because Melinda guessed correctly, the reason why Ellis controlled the Absolute Realm and set up this illusion was really because she and the heavily armed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents lurking around the pawn shop.
At a glance, I knew that these guys with bad stomachs were definitely not just because Melinda was coming to pawn and sent a special escort, but because they wanted to make trouble again.
So when the hunted Benjamin shows up on Hotston Street, Ellis guesses that something will happen and deliberately sets up this illusion.
He also took the initiative to open up the absolute realm to them, shrouding fifty meters outside the pawn shop, until Benjamin almost got a headshot ten meters away from the pawn shop, and he was brought in.
When Melinda got up to leave, Benjamin still pinched his arm in disbelief, and touched the back that had just been injured with his backhand, and then relieved for a while before he said with awe, "Boss Jiang, I need to pawn in exchange for all the recovery from the injury and the strength of the earl." ”
"Yes." Hearing this, Ellis nodded and went straight to the point: "But this time you have to pawn your soul, and 280 years of life." ”
Because he was indeed at the point of desperation, Benjamin did not hesitate, let alone worry about the impact that being a soul would have on him in the future.
Only asked one question or concern: "Boss Jiang, after pawning this 280-year lifespan, how long do I have to live?" ”
"25 years!"
"Is there only 25 years left?" Hearing this, Benjamin frowned, although these 25 years sound not short, but in the eyes of vampires who have a knighthood and a large increase in lifespan, it is really not long, and it is just a snap of a finger.
"Too short?"
Ellis looked at him with a smile: "It's 10,000 times better than going out and dying immediately because of the serious injury!" And with these 25 years as a buffer, and with the strength of the earl, you have the opportunity to pawn with me again and prolong your life. ”
Benjamin thought about it, it is indeed the truth, since he can use his life as a pawn today, he can exchange other pawns for life in the future.
So he took a deep breath and nodded vigorously at Ellis, "You're right. Boss Jiang, I don't have any other questions, let's pawn it now! ”
"Okay, this is a pawn contract, if it's okay, just sign it!"
…………
Although Benjamin, who caused all this, had already entered the Jiang pawnshop, the battle on the streets of Hotston did not stop, but because of the addition of S.H.I.E.L.D., it entered a white heat.
After the sniper snipes out the two viscounts, the vampires who traveled from England to New York in pursuit of Benjamin were once again severely defeated.
The three vampires who were entangled with the metal man, because S.H.I.E.L.D. focused their fire on the metal man, were hit by the pond fish and turned into a miserable sieve, only the viscount who was injured by the metal man before and withdrew from the front-line battle escaped.
And the metal man with extraordinary courage and amazing defense was also beaten back again and again by a special sniper rifle with a large number of M4A1 carbines, and lost the opportunity to fight back for a while.
However, S.H.I.E.L.D. was not able to control the whole field because of this, because after the shooting, bullets flew everywhere, and the spies of the rest of the forces in Hotston Street were also involved, and it turned into a chaotic battle between you and me, and I and you.
In addition, the shootout on Hotston Street also attracted the attention of the military and police who were still stationed on the main streets of New York City.
When this group of troops, who had already been made into some grass and trees because of the Golden Sailing Ship Incident, and had a nervous breakdown, rushed to Hotston Street, the situation was even more out of control!
"W-what's going on?"
When Melinda walked to the inside of the gate of Jiang's pawn shop and looked out, it was such a chaotic scene that appeared in front of her.
And in just a few seconds, no less than a dozen stray bullets were fired at her, that is, the location of the gate of Jiang's pawnshop.
Fortunately, there is an absolute realm, otherwise Melinda, who is not ready for battle, will be hung up because of this.
However, she was not stunned, and after quickly looking around, after locking onto the metal man, the biggest opponent of S.H.I.E.L.D., directly pulled out the pistol pinned to the holster on her waist......
