201.League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Part I)

California, USA.

Courtman, Thewris, and Diana walk through this bustling, squalid and chaotic city, which was just a small town a few decades ago, when a lucky guy found gold in the river outside the town, and the news of California's gold spread and countless speculators flocked to it, triggering a "gold rush".

Today, not to mention the gold in the river, even the sand is about to be dug up, and countless people have lost their youth and lives here, creating the prosperity of this western town.

"Courtman, are you sure someone is coming?" said Hughris, dressed as a gentleman, looking out of place in the crowd of cowboys that filled the street.

Cottman pursed his lips and replied casually: "I sent a message to everyone I knew, except for those unsocial people hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, the time is too short, and I am not sure how many people will arrive, but with the temptation of ten times the wealth of Solomon's treasure, I believe that many people will be willing to come and meet me, a bad old man who is dying."

"Okay. Hughis was noncommittal.

"It's too chaotic here" Diana on the side stared at a few guys who robbed and killed people on the street and frowned: "It's the same as what my mother said, human beings are greedy and despicable, I'm a little hesitant now, whether it's a good idea to save them"

Cottman turned his head to look at Diana, "It's not something you can choose, if it's really as Hughis said, the Eternal Night Empire is ambitious and wants to enslave the whole world, then the war will definitely burn to your hometown, saving humanity is saving your own heavenly island, is that the name?"

"Paradise island. Diana corrected his slip of the tongue.

"Oh. Courtman shrugged, "What a wonderful name." ”

Suddenly, a tall, thin man in a metallic trench coat hurried past Hughis and slammed into him.

"Oh, look a little more, sir. Hughis whispered in discontent, and the trench-coat man walked forward without looking back.

Hughis muttered a few words, and suddenly frowned: "This guy is a thief, my wallet is missing"

"Chase!" Diana quickly chased after him, Hughis followed, but a strange smile appeared on Cottman's lips.

The three of them rampaged through the crowd, causing a wave of dissatisfied complaints, and the man in the trench coat was very nimble, and his thin body shuttled through the crowd like a fish.

But Diana was not an ordinary person after all, and soon pushed the man in the trench coat into a dead end.

"Hand over your wallet, and I can let you go. Diana stared coldly at the trench-coat man.

The trench coat let out a chuckle from the brim of his low-hanging hat, he drew the musket at his waist, and he also wore gloves on his hands, and this strange creature had no skin on his body.

Without hesitation, Diana rushed towards the man.

"Bang", the man in the trench coat fired, and the lead bullets hit Diana's hand, making a metallic crisp sound, and all the lead bullets were blocked by Diana's arm guards.

Diana easily knocked off the musket in the trench coat man's hand with one blow, and the second blow went towards the trench coat man's face, who threw his head back and dodged the blow, but the hat on his head was knocked away.

"What is it?" Diana's eyes froze, as if she had seen something incredible.

Hughris, who arrived panting, also exhaled softly, "Hell, he doesn't have a head?!"

I saw the man in the trench coat standing in front of them, empty under the brim of his hat, no head, nothing, not only that, but he also took off his gloves, which were also empty. It looked like there was only a trench coat standing alone in front of everyone.

"Haha, sure enough, it's you, dear old friend" Courtman's hearty laughter came from behind the two, and he strode up with a look of joy on his face, it turned out that the two had known each other for a long time.

"He's not a ghost," Cottman explains to the two, "he's a naturally invisible man, and we all call him transparent." ”

As he spoke, Cottman stepped forward and hugged the trench coat warmly, and the scene was extremely strange.

"It's unusual. Hughis let out a sound of admiration, hesitating whether to step forward and make friendly gestures to the invisible man, but the other party had already made overtures to him first.

"Just a little joke" The Invisible Man's voice was low and magnetic, and it sounded charming, and he pulled a wallet out of his pocket and threw it at Hughris, "Give it back to you." ”

Hughis was about to catch it, a "bang" gunshot, the wallet was hit by some force, and it turned upwards sharply, and then there were three more "bang, bang, bang" three gunshots, and the wallet flipped three times in a row, just like climbing a staircase, until it rose into the air, drawing a graceful arc and falling into the arms of a little dazed Huleys.

The four of them looked towards the entrance of the alley together, and saw that there were also four people standing there, four handsome and tall cowboys, the first cowboy slowly withdrew the smoking musket, and said with a smile: "Dear Courtman, didn't scare your friend."

"Oh, d'Artagnan!" Cottman greeted him with a laugh, "and you, Ados, Pols, and Aramis guys, are you doing?"

The four of them happily embrace, and they are friends with Cottman again.

"You may have heard the names of the four most famous musketeers in Paris, they can hit the second one to the left of the mother fly a hundred meters."

"Haha" d'Artagnan patted Courtman on the shoulder and teased: "Courtman, there aren't that many female flies**"

After a moment of greetings, d'Artagnan's gaze wandered on the beautiful Diana for a moment, and then he spoke: "You're already late, Cottman, everyone has arrived, everyone is waiting for you to be ten times the wealth of Solomon's treasure, I hope you are not lying to us"

Of course, the only thing of value in old Cottman was an honest heart of gold. ”

Cottman was full of spring breeze, and Hughis was also happy, and everyone walked towards the agreed place together.

A remote tavern, the group pushed the door in, and d'Artagnan shouted: "Everyone, look who is our Courtman, and a beautiful lady"

Hughres touched his nose slightly embarrassed.

There were only a few people in the tavern, and everyone was heading towards the door.

Old friends are reunited, and Courtman's hearty laughter keeps ringing.

"Nemo, you slippery fish, I didn't find you and your broken boat, I thought you were dead"

An Indian man with a brown complexion, a big beard, and a gorgeous and traditional dress stood up and said helplessly: "Courtman, I was in the Pacific Ocean at that time, why do you old guy always can't tell the difference between a ship and a submarine?"

"It doesn't make a difference to me," Coatman muttered, then turned to another strong, strong man, "Tom, you're here too, it seems that the U.S. doesn't pay you that much."

The man called Tom didn't seem to be good at words, just smiled.

Cottman finally turned his gaze to a man in the corner, and his face suddenly became very complicated.

"Dowling Gray. He gently called out the name and said, "I didn't expect you to come back too, it turns out that you will also be tempted by wealth"

When Cousinman confronts the man, everyone notices him and can't help but be drawn away by him. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
