Chapter 295: Return to the Scroll
John never imagined that his companion was such a famous person, but he quickly regained his composure, after all, Louie had even been to the Star Wars world, and even learned and mastered the Force. That being the case, it doesn't seem surprising that Louie was able to meet Batman.
At the same time, he also thought of another point: Louie's companions were probably not 'ordinary people'.
"Are there any other celebrities besides Bruce Wayne?"
"Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter. ”
"......" John was not surprised this time, but confirmed with his eyes: is it the Steve Rogers I know?
Louie nodded at John when he saw the look in his eyes.
After receiving an affirmative answer, John didn't know what expression to make, so he could only continue to ask, "Is there anyone else?"
He felt that he wouldn't be surprised if Louie said anyone now, and he was a little curious if Clark Kent and Pete Parker had become Louie's buddies?
"Gil Valentine and Artoria Pendragon. ”
John is relatively unfamiliar with these two names, and Louis briefly introduces them: "Jill Valentine is a cop in Raccoon City. ”
"I remembered. "The Resident Evil movie version has this character in it, but in the movie, Jill is a supporting role, and people like John, who at most pass the time with two glances, will not associate the name with a supporting role in the first place.
"As for Artoria Pendragon, she has another name, which you may be more familiar with, Arthur...... Or it can also be called King Arthur. ”
"King Arthur?"
"Parallel Universe...... Women's ...... You should understand what this means. ”
"I understand...... I just think it's a little weird. ”
The two of them kept paying attention to the situation around them, and Louie's cautious state made John very concerned, worried about whether a terrible monster would suddenly rush out.
However, the road was very peaceful, and after walking for about twenty minutes, they saw a figure at the intersection ahead.
This tall black figure is none other than Bruce Wayne, who is very imposing when he stands there in a bat suit, but this look is a bit eye-catching in broad daylight.
Bruce also saw Louie, and even noticed John next to Louie, he was not surprised, but after looking up and down, he could roughly see John's 'condition'.
"New partner?"
"Yes. ”
"Welcome to this quirky world. Bruce gave John a brief welcome: "I'm Bruce Wayne. ”
"I'm John Wick. John nodded as well, looking at the man whose face was covered by a mask, he felt a little weirdly absurd.
Bruce's welcome line was right, it was a weird world.
Perhaps, only such a strange world can achieve its own wishes.
"John is an experienced killer who has been in retirement for a few years, and he joined us to resurrect his wife. Louis gave a brief account of John's situation. He felt that a direct indication of John's true purpose would make one thing clear to his partners: John would definitely do his best to achieve his goals, and everyone could trust this new partner.
After introducing John's basic situation, Louis asks about what happened after he 'disappeared'.
"I don't know much. ”
According to the calculation of time, Louis was the first to contact Bruce, which means that Bruce was teleported to another world shortly after him, and the time between the two people is not very long.
After Louis picked up the phone and was sent away, everyone wanted to stay where they were, but the whole building suddenly changed and misplaced, and Kung Fu Bruce was separated from the rest of his friends in the blink of an eye.
"When the environment settles down, all I have left is a strange door. I tried to get out of somewhere else, but I didn't succeed, so I just opened the door and walked in. ”
Bruce then goes to another world, and according to Bruce's guess, in this seemingly modern urban area, strange situations can be encountered at any time, and once that happens, it means that some other world is 'connected'.
"That's pretty much it. ”
Louis touched his chin, they didn't know much about this area at the moment, they could only guess through the information they knew so far, and after sharing the information, the two decided to wait here quietly for the return of the other partners, and not run around until then - because it was easy to be teleported to other worlds again.
"What reward did you get this time?"
"Storage bag. While Bruce took out the storage bag, he took out another multi-function bracelet and handed it to John: "I just have a spare multi-function bracelet." ”
The multi-functional bracelet and storage bag at least solved John's trouble of carrying equipment and personal belongings, and Louis also took the opportunity to return the two suitcases to John.
Looking at this magical prop, John felt like he was taking another small step towards his goal.
Bruce also lifted the bat suit on his body at this time, revealing his full face, and three people and a dog stood here at the intersection, looking in several directions, chatting without a word.
"By the way, where did you find it?" After a moment's conversation, Bruce turned the conversation to the husky next to him.
"When we came back, it was around the neighborhood and came after it as soon as it shouted. "Louis never understood what was going on with this husky, as if he had always seen it in 'this' place, and it was not surprising that he had seen it more than he saw it.
"I didn't think it would come again. ”
After chatting for a long time, they received communications from Steve, Peggy, and Jill, and after Bruce told them how to meet, several people continued to wait at the intersection.
Just as everyone was converging, the last Artoria also sent a message.
By the time Artoria returned to the group, the heavens and the earth had become dark, and it seemed that it was almost night.
First of all, everyone gave a brief introduction to the situation of John Vic, everyone welcomed John as a newcomer, and everyone began to help him sort out his personal equipment and resources, just a moment of effort, John's combat effectiveness was raised to a higher level again.
At present, everyone has accumulated a lot of things, in addition to the surplus of multi-functional bracelets, there is also the spring water obtained in the dark world last time.
This thing is exactly what John needs most at the moment, just a small sip of spring water is needed to eat his body, and his body will recover to its best time, and the storage space will allow him to easily carry more weapons and ammunition.
In addition, he already has a wealth of combat experience, as long as he finds another opportunity to enter the dungeon to brush up his physical fitness and pure energy, he will soon become a qualified combat power.
John was a little surprised by the enthusiasm of these new partners, he didn't expect that he would get so many 'goodies' just after he came here and had never done anything.
Not to mention anything else, just the spring water that can restore one's body to its peak, this kind of thing is taken to the real world, and given to those elderly super tycoons, let them exchange them for billions or even tens of billions of assets, and they are willing to exchange.
This is really a good thing that money can't buy, so it's so simple to give it to yourself?
"Don't dwell too much on these things, we're just allocating our limited resources in a reasonable way. "In the beginning, when they had fewer storage items, they had to rotate them, which is now that they are getting richer, they can ensure that everyone has storage equipment.
"It seems like I'm here at the right time. ”
"yes, it's the right time. "In the recent period, Louis and his small team have come out of poverty and gradually moved towards a well-off stage.
And they are not so wealthy that they don't need more helpers, so everyone will be very enthusiastic about new partners and willing to help them grow.
It would be hard to say until all these people were completely rich...... Maybe by that time, there will be a lot of summoning stones that everyone will not be bother to use.
After regrouping, everyone casually found a relatively spacious place next to it, and prepared to rest for the night first, and then return to Riverbend Fort after dawn.
Although it seems that everyone has only come in and walked around, they have already figured out that this modern city that suddenly appeared is not much different from the dense fog, and it will throw people into other worlds.
In some ways, it's even more dangerous than in a thick fog.
"In the fog, don't worry about running into enemies until the fog changes color. "But here, some strange enemy can pop up almost at any time.
Compared to John and Louie, Steve, Peggy, Jill, and Artoria killed a lot of strange things along the way when they joined up with everyone.
Hearing this, Bruce and Louis glanced at the husky lying not far away, and the husky turned his head decisively.
Afterwards, several people talked about the world and mission they experienced this time, as well as the rewards they received.
The rewards everyone received were nothing special: storage bags, pure energy, physical improvements, and only Peggy received a special item.
"What is this?" looked like a rolled-up parchment, "This can't be a magic scroll, a contract or something, right?"
This shape made everyone think of this kind of thing for the first time.
Peggy didn't sell it, and just told the name of the thing and what it does: Return to the Scroll.
"The brave who use this scroll can return to their original world and continue to live their original life. ”
“......”
Everyone was silent, even if Peggy didn't have a specific explanation, everyone understood what this thing meant, and the next second, everyone looked at Louie.
Louis, who was staring at everyone, looked left and right, and spread his hands helplessly: "Look at what I do? This is a good thing, everyone should be happy." ”
