Chapter 50: The Stone Man
Leaving the bar just now and walking on the side of the street, Alex's mouth showed a smile of hope, "Blood God of the Vampire Clan, I hope you don't disappoint me!" β
"It looks like the world is going to get better and better!"
Thinking of the battle that was very likely to come, Alex felt as if his blood was about to boil!
Ever since he had possessed the Ghost Eye Pupil Technique and had a fierce battle with Weapon Eleven, Alex's mentality had changed from being flat to eager to fight.
Alex's current mood is the same as Kenpachi in "Bleach ", hoping to meet an opponent who fights with him to his heart's content, and eager to fight with the strong!
Peaceful days will only make him feel bored and dull!
Only by fighting to his heart's content can he taste the excitement of life and the strength of his ability!
(Author's note: Actually, this is just a psychological trick for patients with secondary two diseases who want to show off after they can reach the ability!) οΌ
βοΌοΌβ
Just as Alex was scurrying through the street at a speed of more than ten meters per step, he suddenly saw a deep and huge footprint on the solid asphalt road, pointing straight to the distance of the road......
The information shown by the footprints, this footprint came from the direction of Manhattan, New York, and the direction of going seemed to be Brooklyn, the most populous borough in New York.
"Interesting!"
With a sigh of emotion, Alex couldn't help licking his lips excitedly, and with a slight touch of his feet, the speed of one-half of the speed of sound (six hundred and twelve kilometers per hour) was fully deployed, and the person followed the footprints like lightning.
In the galloping wind, Alex's figure flickered like a ghost, and for a while, I don't know how many little mandarin ducks who were fighting in the small alleys were scared away.
Soon, Alex arrived in Brooklyn and followed the footprints all the way to a residential area, where the owner of the footprints was hiding under a small tree on the side of the street, looking diagonally across from a room. On the balcony of the room, a middle-aged woman in white pajamas was turning around and walking down the balcony and rushing out of the house.
The owner of the footprints was wearing a wide trench coat and a big anachronistic hat, and it could be seen from the gaps in the clothes that were not exposed, the other party's skin was actually orange and rock-like, and if you looked closely, this guy was completely a human-shaped stone man, no, it should be said that it was a stone person!
"Is that him? Now there's a good show to watch! β
After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Alex's heart couldn't help but move, and stood on the platform on the side without a trace, watching the subsequent development of the situation.
After a while, a middle-aged woman in pajamas walked over happily, shouting the name of the stone man as she walked: "Ben! Root! Where are you? β
"I'm here!"
The stone man revealed his deliberately concealed body.
"What are you hiding here? Why don't you go home, Ben? The woman chuckled and approached, but when she saw Ben as he was, she cried out in fright.
She screamed in panic, shook her head and retreated, looking like she couldn't accept this cruel reality: "Ahhhh How did you become like this? β
"Don't ...... like that, dear"
Seeing his lover's frightened appearance, the stone man also felt very painful in his heart, and he walked forward quickly, trying to keep his lover who was constantly retreating.
It's a pity that his approach did not stop his lover from leaving, but also scared his lover to run away faster, and even almost was hit by a speeding car on the spot when crossing the road!
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
The stone man watched his lover's departure blankly, and his lover's panicked expression before leaving deeply pierced his heart, and the pain was even more painful than when he just knew about his mutation, and it was even deeper, and more painful!
Reading his lover's name blankly, the stone man walked dejectedly.
At this time, the police officer who was patrolling the community heard the commotion here, ran over quickly, and when he saw the obvious figure of the stone man, he immediately shouted: "Stop!" That guy over there, stop me! β
βοΌβ
The stone man was startled, and suddenly came back to his senses, where did he see ordinary people with this honor now? If you don't scare them to death, there will be ghosts! Thinking of this, the stone man immediately ran away, leaving the conscientious patrolman far away.
"Fragile love!"
Alex, who had watched maliciously, shook his head and walked out of the platform, because of the unexpected change in the stone man, the woman who didn't even want to listen to the reason was really not qualified to be worthy of the word "love"!
"This stone man has been married to a woman, and from the woman's mouth, it can be known that he has only recently become like this, it seems that he is a superpowered person with a genetic mutation......"
Thinking of this, Alex did not hesitate, suppressed most of his speed, and quickly chased directly in the direction where the stone man ran away!
Soon, he was back in touch with the Stone Man, but Alex had no interest in catching up with him right now, so he just followed the Stone Man from a distance, wandering aimlessly along the streets with him.
It was evident that the stone man was not lightly struck by his lover's reaction, and he wandered around the streets aimlessly, and at last he walked up a bridge across the sea, climbed on top of it, and found a place to sit.
"Did he want to commit suicide by jumping into the sea?!!?"
Seeing this, Alex was slightly surprised, with his stone-like body, let alone this bridge, even if he jumped from a place dozens of meters high, he might not necessarily die!
Thinking that if he looked at it any longer, there would not be too many "surprises", Alex walked over from a distance, jumped to the side of the stone man lightly, and said, "Hey, man, are you going to jump into the sea?" β
"What? Aren't you afraid of me? β
The stone man looked at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him and greeted him boldly, and couldn't help but show a surprised look, he was not afraid of himself?
"What? Do you think you're scary right now? Hearing the stone man's question, Alex smiled disappreciatively and casually walked beside him.
"Isn't it?" The stone man smiled self-deprecatingly, shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly, "Think about how much panic people will cause when they see a human-shaped stone mound appearing on the street?!! β
"Hey, man, you're so sad about what happened to you!"
Alex smiled lightly and leaned his back against the iron frame behind him, "The reason why you are so pessimistic is because the world you perceive is too small!" You haven't realized the reality of this world yet!! β
"What do you know about me?" The stone man roared angrily, but then he thought that this kind of behavior might scare away the only human who dared to talk to him, so he hurriedly lowered his voice: "A normal human suddenly becomes like me, what kind of encounters and discrimination he will encounter, it is not at all something that you, a teenager who has not yet stepped into society, can understand!" β
"No, I totally do." Alex's answer was really unexpected by the stone man, "Moreover, not only do I fully understand your feelings, but I also have a deeper understanding than you!" β
"How so?" The stone man made an exaggerated expression of surprise, "You little guy who hasn't even graduated from high school, where did you get a deep understanding?!" β
Alex pretended to be profound, "I said that you would be so miserable because you haven't learned the truth of this world!" β
Hearing Alex evaluate himself for such ambiguous reasons, the stone man couldn't help but be a little annoyed, so he asked loudly, "Okay, what is the 'truth of the world' that you tell me?" β
"Huh? Looks like you're not convinced! Alex feigned surprise.
"That's right, if you don't know to me, I won't believe you. Also, uncle, I will probably teach you personally what it means to be a teenager who can't lie! As he spoke, the stone man deliberately collided his hands, and with a "bang", there was a loud sound of the stones hitting together.
"That's a lot of strength!"
Hearing the sound deliberately made by the stone man, Alex couldn't help but feel a slight pang in his heart, "This kind of Cheng dΓΉ's sound of breaking the air and impacting, the force of this blow is definitely not less than five tons, it seems that this guy's ability should be more in terms of strength and ability to resist hits!" β
Realizing this, Alex became more interested in the strength of the Stone Man.
