Chapter 179, Supernatural Mercenaries
The Bronx, New York, which has one of the highest crime rates in the whole world and the most famous slum in New York, is definitely a place where you have to go out in company, and don't look too rich, otherwise there will be outlaws eyeing you.
Of course, if you're lucky, you'll be able to meet an American baseball star or two here, and of course, it's also a famous underground mercenary market in New York.
Generally speaking, the price of the hiring of paranormal mercenaries is lower than that of ordinary mercenaries, why, in the final analysis, as long as the paranormal mercenaries are strong enough, one person can deal with a group, and you don't need to provide weapons, and most of them are alone, even if they die, you don't have to pay a pension.
However, in this kind of place, there are many liars, and most of the supernatural mercenaries are unlearned, and they can use two tricks just to cheat money.
There is a tavern called "Oblivion" in the Bronx, which usually has no business, but the owner drives a luxury car and hugs a beautiful woman, but few people dare to beat his idea, because this tavern called "Oblivion" is a recruitment market for supernatural mercenaries, and as the boss, he himself used to be a member of the dark world.
When I entered the door of the tavern, there were two people sitting on the chairs on the left and right, one was a big fat man who looked like a butcher, maybe there were no guests, he was sitting at the door smoking, his hands and clothes were stained with oil, but his eyes were fierce, staring at me as if he were looking at a pile of rotten meat that was about to be chopped into a pulp.
The other is a gunslinger, wearing sunglasses, judgment pants and a white shirt, but the two pistols in his hands are not ordinary pistols, but two spirit guns.
I walked to the bar, and the boss was wiping glasses, this boss was a mixed race of black and white, belonging to a new generation of Americans, quite tall, estimated to be 1.9 meters, and a thin build, and looked at me and asked, "What do you want to drink?" ”
I sat down, pulled a $100 bill out of my pocket, put it in front of him, and said, "I want to drink some spirits, preferably the kind you can't buy." ”
This code is common to both worlds, and Rochette did the illusion very carefully, and the other party took the $100 in my hand and said, "Well, yes, Richard, put blindfolds on our guests." ”
The gunman at the door nodded, walked over with an eye patch, and put it on my head. I could only feel myself walking down a staircase that went down in a loop, and I felt a little dampness all around me, and then some small voices began to come from my ears.
After walking for about five minutes, the gunman took off the blindfold on my face, I blinked, and when I looked over, I found that I was standing in an underground abandoned subway track, with faint lights on both sides, and some ink on the wall. ”
Soon a lot of people came out of the platforms on both sides of the subway tracks, from all races, men and women, tall and short, especially strong and particularly alert, and nearly 200 people came out at once.
I really didn't expect that Rochette would be able to create so many people at the same time in the illusion, and this strength should not be underestimated.
I glanced at it, there are no powerful characters, they are all guys who have some spiritual sense, or so-called superpowers, but most of them are not high in combat power, which is not in line with my heart.
I shook my head and said, "No, this batch is too weak, is there any stronger one?" ”
I'm telling the truth, of course, I didn't care about the temper of the 200 people in front of me, and the people who came out to be mercenaries were all people who put life and death out of the way, so the temper was not good, as soon as I said this, there was a burst of killing intent on the other side, obviously, someone was dissatisfied with me.
A tall figure walked out slowly, jumped off the platform and walked step by step, the ground shook slightly, there was a sound of shattering, and after a few seconds, a tall figure stood opposite me, black armor, a two-meter tall man stood in front of me, his eyes flashing red.
He is the mercenary I just glanced at and noticed, but in the end I still feel that he is not qualified, I have to deal with the four-winged fallen angel, there should be a stronger opponent after that, just this level of mercenary to deal with a few evil spirits is the limit.
"You just said that we are not strong enough, too weak, right?"
He said in a rough voice, and the American pronunciation combined with the slurred speech made it difficult for me to listen to him. But I barely understood, so I nodded and said, "Yes, I said, you're really not qualified." What's wrong? ”
Without saying a word, the big man pulled out a huge axe from behind his back and slashed it at me, and after the axe landed, his sturdy body jumped up strangely, landed behind me with unusual agility, and yelled at me: "Hmph, before saying that others are weak, it's better to see your own strength first!" ”
The axe fell, but after it slashed at me, it left only a scattered afterimage, and then I suddenly appeared behind the big man, the tip of the katana was already on his waist, and said coldly: "Give you a chance, go back to where you came from, and offend me again, and let you apologize with death." ”
The boss and the gunman behind me changed slightly, and the boss came out at this time, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, everyone go back first, don't stay here." ”
The big man stumbled back into the shadows, I put away my katana, turned to look at the boss and the gunner, and said, "Isn't there a better mercenary?" It seems that this business will not be done. ”
I deliberately provoked the boss, he smiled and said: "As long as you have enough money, I have enough good goods here, please come with me." Richard, you ask the chef to prepare it, call back all our top mercenaries here, and say that there is a very discerning guest. ”
The gunner nodded, and walked out, and I continued to go down under the guidance of the boss, and when I reached the lower floor, the place suddenly opened up, and became brighter, and the decoration was more exquisite.
"Wait a minute, what do you want to drink, there is an internal phone here, just call it directly, I'll go see if they're ready."
The boss walked out, I sat on the couch, looked at the empty platform in front of me, and looked at my watch, it was almost noon, and at this time a figure crept up behind me, standing beside me, and it was the cherubim, as the administrator of this horrible illusion, he always appeared so silently, and it always made me feel weird.
"Do you follow me wherever I go? It's really haunting. ”
I opened my mouth, but he smiled, walked up to me and whispered, "You're lucky, there's a great guy here, if he wants to follow you, maybe you can kill Gunes." Then it's up to your luck, I'm just here to give you a little hint, of course, this eccentric mercenary also has his own quirky requirements. ”
After Cherubim finished speaking, he disappeared, and then the boss came over, suddenly frowned, and said, "Why does it seem to smell of demons?" Maybe I'm mistaken, after all, there are demons among the mercenaries here. Okay, we've already arranged, please come with me, these top mercenaries have a weird temper, and they want you to meet them. ”
I nodded in understanding, but the boss's words just now surprised me a little bit, does it smell like a demon? Cherubim, what is your true identity?
Follow the boss into the room, there are five doors in total, I will open them one by one, and if I like this mercenary, I will negotiate the conditions. I opened the first door, there was no one inside, it was empty, I frowned strangely, just then, a voice sounded very abruptly from my right, and then I turned my head and saw a blond man standing beside me with his upper body naked, and his lower body disappeared.
"I can be invisible, hide any aura of myself, and even pass through any walls and gates, then, will you hire me?"
He said with a grin, wanting to reach out and touch my face.
I took a step back, kicked the door up and said, "Don't pick up soap, let's look at the next one." ”
I stretched out my hand and opened the last door, inside was a man with short hair and black-rimmed glasses, who was not tall, about 1.7 meters, reading a book very quietly, holding a Bible in his hand.
No matter how you look at it, he looks like a scholar, not like a mercenary at all, and I said strangely, "Don't you introduce yourself?" Your abilities, your name, whatever. ”
But the other party didn't pay attention to me at all, just read the book by himself, remembering the words of the cherubim before, could it be that this strange man in front of me is the mercenary who has a very strange temper as he said, but can help me kill the four-winged fallen angel?
The man slowly raised his head and looked at me, and then I realized that he had two crosses tattooed on either side of his neck, and said to me with a smile: "You already have a sin, you know? ”
