Chapter 34: Flickering Failure!
Although he was held to the back by the pistol, Ellis did not panic.
Not to mention the ability given to him by the pawnshop system, the ability to teleport back to the pawnshop within twenty-five kilometers is the strength he has now, and it is not something that a small pistol can threaten.
Even if it's Anthony, a D-class mutant holding the gun, it won't work!
Who made it daylight, and he has superpowers similar to those of vampires and werewolves, which need to be triggered after night falls!
However, people's abilities are much stronger than him, at least during the day, the strength of dark creatures has declined at most, unlike him, as soon as it is daytime, he has completely changed back to ordinary people, compared with ordinary people, at most he is a little stronger, and his skills are more agile.
Besides, even if it's night, as long as it's not in an environment where you can't see your fingers, Ellis's vision is limited.
His physical fitness has reached E-level, and he has a C-level weapon, Colt's revolver's powerful attack blessing, and he also has enough strength to fight Anthony hard-to-head in a wave.
Not to mention, just using the Colt revolver and performing kite flying tactics can drag him to death!
"Anthony, take it easy, I have no ill will." However, Ellis didn't come to find fault and fight, so he took the initiative to speak, and at the same time took out the pawn shop's business card.
"Don't move, be honest with me!" When Anthony saw him holding his business card, he immediately moved the pistol to the back of his head.
"Don't get excited, I'm here to help you solve the trouble, solve the big trouble that has plagued you for a long time!"
Ellis handed him a business card printed with a few big characters of Jiang's pawnshop and marked the scope of business, and said lightly: "Look at it, this is my business card!" ”
"If you make such a small move again, I will send you back to your hometown immediately!"
After seeing that the business card between the middle and index fingers of Ellis's right hand was really a business card, not a weapon or something, Anthony's tense nerves eased, but he still threatened him again before reaching out his left hand to take the business card.
When he took the business card, he inevitably got distracted, and Ellis knew that the opportunity for countermeasures had come!
As soon as Anthony's hand touched the corner of the business card, Ellis grabbed his wrist, and at the same time lowered his head away from the muzzle of the gun behind his head, pressed his back against his chest, and directly gave him an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming it down the aisle.
As Ellis counterattacked, Anthony also quickly pulled the trigger of the pistol, but unfortunately the timing was too late, and several bullets in succession did not hit Ellis, but when he was knocked over, they all hit the ceiling of the aisle.
Anthony shook his dizzy head after falling, and was about to get up and fight again when he was hit by a cold barrel.
"It's time for you to be honest!"
After Ellis reached out and snatched his pistol, worried that the gunfire just now would attract the attention of the residents on the same floor, he tapped his still somewhat blindfolded head with the Colt revolver: "Open the door, let's go inside." ”
After being countered by Ellis, in the daytime environment, Anthony, who limited most of his strength, could only be restrained and took out the house key.
At the same time, because of being a mutant, Councilor Kelly threw out the mutant registration bill, and there was a mysterious disappearance, which led to a larger-scale wave of resistance to mutants in society.
Anthony is even more reluctant to attract the attention of his neighbors and make a big deal because of the gunfire just now!
Although the residents of Oak Street are relatively chaotic, this is not New York's crime paradise 'Hell's Kitchen', and the police will definitely not treat Hell's Kitchen as if they were calling for a shootout.
If he recruits the police and is targeted by an agency similar to that led by the US military's William Stryker, his situation will not be good!
"No one? Could it be that I just heard it wrong! As soon as the two entered the house, a conversation came from the hallway outside the door.
"Why is there any gunshot, you must have heard it wrong, let's go back, continue to 'eat chicken' is the right thing!" A moment later, another voice rang out.
"Hell, I heard that!"
…………
Fortunately, the construction quality of this old-fashioned apartment is not bad, and the few shots that Anthony just fired only left a few inconspicuous bullet holes on the ceiling of the hallway, which did not cause much damage.
Before entering the house, Ellis also paid more attention, and deliberately put away a few warheads on the ground and his own business card, otherwise it would not be so easy to fool around!
When the door fell completely silent, Ellis found Anthony looking at him with hostile eyes.
Considering that Anthony in the state of an ordinary person could not pose a threat to himself, he simply put away the Colt in his hand, and then said: "Okay, the person is gone, now we can talk!" ”
"Let's talk?"
Anthony's face became slightly better after Ellis took the initiative to put away the revolver in his hand, and at the same time asked him, "You're really not here to catch me?" ”
"Of course, I said that I'm here to help you out."
After emphasizing that he belonged to the 'good' order-keeping camp, Ellis handed out the business card again: "I solemnly introduce to you, the contemptible person is the owner of the Jiang family's pawn shop, Ellis Jiang." ”
"Pawnshop owner?"
After Anthony took the business card, he looked at him with suspicion: "Are you sure it's the pawn shop owner and not some lab owner who studies mutants?" ”
"Of course." Ellis nodded affirmatively.
After looking down at the business card in his hand twice, Anthony looked at him with a complicated look (similar to looking at a paranoid person): "You came today just to let me pawn, I don't know what you like about me, soul, lifespan, or superpower?" ”
Without waiting for Ellis to speak, he continued to say excitedly, "Do you know what trouble I have? Dare to say help me, under the guise of such an idiot? ”
"Of course I know you're in trouble."
Ellis knew he was thinking of himself as a psychopath, and didn't even give himself a chance to explain......
It's definitely unpleasant, but it's all here, and you can't give up this potential customer and leave directly because of this reason!
What's more, Ellis is still holding back his big move!
"As far as I know, you awakened the X gene one night three years ago and became a mutant, thus gaining the superpower to multiply all kinds of physical fitness in the dark night, right?"
Seeing that Anthony was very vigilant (or very suspicious), Ellis simply shook out his information, and after seeing that his face became more and more ugly the more he listened, he continued to expose his old bottom in a calm tone:
"Although this ability is good, but because the X gene is not fully awakened, it also leaves you with very distressing trouble, making you a dazzling 'firefly' in the night, right?"
"You investigated me?" After being revealed by Ellis, Anthony stares at him deadly.
"Count, it doesn't count!"
Ellis gave him an ambiguous answer before throwing out the killer idea, "Do you know where I got your information?" ”
"I also want to know how you found me!" Indeed, Anthony was wondering how Ellis had found his neurotic.
You must know that in the more than two years that he lived on Oak Street, Ellis was the first uninvited guest to come to his door.
"Professor X, I was told by Professor X of the mutant school."
Sure enough, Professor X, who has a good reputation among mutants, was used by Ellis to gain the trust of mutants......
"If I didn't want to do the so-called pawn, would you kill me?" To Ellis's surprise, after hearing Professor X's name, Anthony strangely calmed down and asked.
"No, it won't." Although I don't understand why he would ask such a question after hearing about Professor X, the 'life mentor' in the mutant world.
But Ellis still gave an affirmative answer, and then asked in confusion: "Why do you ask?" ”
Anthony didn't answer Ellis's question, but was silent for a moment, and then made a send-off gesture to him:
"Since you're not going to kill me, then please leave my house, because I don't want to waste time with a paranoid, let alone have anything to do with Charles!"
