168. Excuses
In the evening, New York City entered the lights and traffic.
However, behind this glamour, there is also a dark side.
The Bronx is a collection of the dark side of New City.
Guns and drugs are rampant all year round, and robberies are commonplace, and ordinary people in New York City don't dare to pass here during the day, let alone at night.
However, this is also the place with the most maids, and many men who decide their thoughts in the lower half of their bodies would rather take risks to come here to be happy.
"Peng!"
A gunshot pierced the night.
In the dark alley, someone fell in a pool of blood.
At the same time, there is also a figure who grabbed something and quickly escaped, shuttling through the alleys of the Bronx.
However, just as the figure was running away quickly, suddenly, on the road in front of it, a figure suddenly burst out of the alley next to it, and then when the fleeing figure was caught off guard, he hugged his waist and fell to the ground!
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the fleeing figure was slammed to the ground, and the body and the looted things were scattered all over the ground.
The whole person curled up on the ground, moaning in pain.
And the figure who hugged him and threw it was standing in the dim light, condescendingly came to the huddled figure, and scolded: "Even if you grab something, you still kill people!" Scum! β
Then, the condescending figure skillfully pulled out a nylon cable tie from his trouser pocket, bent down and pulled the huddled figure's hand behind his back, ready to tie it up.
But at this momentβ
"You're too conspicuous."
A surging voice suddenly came from the front.
When the figure who was about to tie up the person heard it, the instantly stressed figure bounced up, pulled back a distance, and at the same time looked at the place where the voice came from in front of him, and asked vigilantly: "Who?" β
Ahead, in the dim alley, a burly middle-aged white man in casual clothes walked with a frown.
When asked, the middle-aged white man replied, "People like you." β
"Like me?"
When Matthew heard the other party's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Do you know what kind of person I am? β
The middle-aged white man on the opposite side did not speak, but stood in place and suddenly stomped his feet!
"Boom!"
The cement on the ground was suddenly shattered by the stomp, and a few debris flew up.
Seeing this scene, Matthew's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he put away the smile on his face.
"I've been paying attention to you guys for a while."
The middle-aged white man's frowning brow still did not loosen, and said: "Your purpose in fighting crime is good, but your actions are too ostentatious, and this is not good, and it will have a negative impact on our entire group." β
As he spoke, the middle-aged white man did not stop, but continued to walk towards Matthew.
Seeing this, Matthew retreated vigilantly, maintaining a safe distance between the two sides.
Su Ling trained them with the standard of the "King of Killers", making them very vigilant and cautious in both combat awareness and actual combat.
Seeing Matthew so careful, a hint of surprise flashed in the middle-aged white man's eyes, and finally he didn't continue to approach.
And as he stopped, Matthew stopped with him.
After that, I saw Matthew squinting his eyes slightly and said, "What do you want?" β
Matthew, who is 178 tall, is the most burly and tall among the several people, looking about the same size as adults, and when they act, they also strictly follow Su Ling's instructions, disguise themselves, wear masks, and speak in a deliberately low, or sandwiched, or raised voice, so that people can't judge their true original voices.
Therefore, Matthew's voice is not the same as usual.
"You don't have to be so guarded, I have no ill will."
After hearing Matthew's words, the middle-aged white man shook his head and said, "I don't mean anything, I just want to remind you to be careful, Eric's government is not friendly to us, and the Bronx is the most chaotic district in the whole of New City, and the people here are complicated, and it is easy for you to provoke the wrong people when you act here." β
"Is this a warning or a threat?"
After listening to the other party's words, Matthew asked rhetorically with a raised eyebrow.
"Neither."
The middle-aged white man shook his head again and said, "You're too sensitive. But it's also true that people like us can live longer by being sensitive...... I just want to remind you that there are people like us among the gangsters and criminals here. Not all of us hate sin as much as you and I do, and many more of us inflate ourselves when we gain power, and then use the power we have gained to sin or for profit. Beware of these people! β
"You don't have to worry about that."
Matthew's eyes narrowed slightly, "You better take care of yourself." β
With that, he began to step back, cautiously watching his surroundings.
Seeing this, the middle-aged white man did not stop it.
Soon, Matthew's figure disappeared into the alley.
And after he disappeared, the middle-aged white man's frowning brow slowly unfolded, and his expression became cold.
The huddled figure who snatched something and was smashed to the ground by Matthew also relieved himself at this time, and hurriedly crawled towards the pistol that was spilled when he was hugged and thrown to the ground.
But just as he was about to climb to the position of the pistol, a figure fell from the sky and fell directly on the man's back.
"Kacha!"
There was a sound of bones shattering.
At the same time, it was accompanied by a scream of "ah".
A person's weight and the speed of the fall directly stepped on the back bone of the robber who crawled towards the pistol, and then he screamed and passed out.
And the figure that fell on it slowly walked down from its back as if it was nothing.
I saw that this was a black and white woman, wearing a leopard print short skirt, high boots, wavy curly hair, and a tall figure.
However, this woman's nose is different from ordinary people, but it is pitch black, and it looks like a dog's nose.
"Remember his scent?"
The middle-aged white man looked at the mulatto woman with a cold expression and asked.
The mulatto woman nodded, and then asked curiously, "Boss, why don't you just catch him?" How many of these bastards have ruined our business in recent months, causing us to lose so much money, should we just let them go? β
"Of course not."
The middle-aged white man said coldly: "I will never let go of anyone who dares to cut off my financial path!" However, these new guys are very skilled and seem to be well-trained, and I suspect that they have deep forces behind them, so I have been observing them for a while. And these new guys don't look like adults in size and style, only this guy is a bit similar in height, which is why I went out for an interview tonight. β
"What was the result of the temptation?"
The mulatto woman asked curiously.
The middle-aged white man shook his head and replied, "He's too cautious, or rather, these new ones are very cautious, and with the crisp and neat way they act, as if they have experienced special training, I suspect that the official organization of the Eric government is behind these people." However, these guys are very casual and don't look like they are planned and disciplined, so I suspect that they may be 'evolutionaries' who have just escaped from some force. β
"Then we ......"
The mulatto heard the middle-aged white man's words, so he asked tentatively.
"You memorize their scent, follow the scent to find out their stronghold, and then wait to figure out what to do about their stronghold."
The middle-aged white man commanded, "They are all only first-stage evolutionaries, and they obviously don't know the abilities of second-stage evolutionaries, and they don't hide the smell on their bodies when they act, which is why I judge that they are 'evolutionaries' who have escaped from a certain force." After thoroughly understanding their situation, if there is no other power background, I will give them a big gift at that time! β
By the end, the middle-aged white man's eyes were full of chills.
As an evolutionary, they all have at least five to seven times more physical fitness than ordinary people, and if you take advantage of this, you can't fall into the chaos of New York like the Bronx.
And who else can be an evolutionary who can mix here, except for those who use their abilities to mix with gangsters?
The middle-aged white man is the boss of the big gangster "Golden Party" in the Bronx, Jensen Roderick!
And the mulatto woman is his subordinate, Carina Jones.
Both of them are evolutionaries who have mixed up in New City, and their abilities have been developed to the second stage.
"Good!"
Hearing Jensen's words, Carina nodded.
The second stage of the ability she developed can turn her nose into a dog's nose, thus gaining a dog's sense of smell and being very sensitive to smells.
As Jensen's subordinate and lover, she naturally had no objection to Jensen's orders.
β¦β¦
At night, the city is brightly lit.
A black Aston Martin sped through the city streets, overtaking cars along the way and speeding out of the city.
In the car, Matthew, who was still cautiously wearing a mask, looked at the rearview mirror and reflector all the way, and reconnoitred whether there was a vehicle tracking behind him.
Soon, after the vehicle left the city, he still didn't notice that there was a vehicle following him, which made him feel relieved and at the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that guy really came to remind him kindly?
"Forget it, no matter."
What he can't figure out, Matthew doesn't bother to think about.
Still, we'll have to go back and tell Wade and the Doctor what happened to them.
It's just that the doctor has been mysterious for more than a month, often absent, and I don't know where he went......
Shaking his head, Matthew drove all the way out of New City, and after making sure that there was no vehicle following him, he returned to the manor house.
When he returns to the manor and parks the car, he immediately calls Tooth, Herbert, Wade, and Fluttershy together and tells them what happened.
Then, Matthew frowned and said, "There are other evolutionaries in New City, we didn't even think about it before, and now we can't act casually in the future!" That person is actually quite right, we are likely to accidentally offend the interests of those evolutionaries who use their abilities to mix with the gang, and clash with other evolutionaries in New City! β
"Uh, aren't we doing good? Why should you care about conflict with bad evolutionaries? β
Hearing Matthew's words, Tooth said hesitantly.
"We're doing good, but who knows?"
Wade, a black man, shrugged his shoulders and said.
The real age is only more than eleven years old, although because of the painful experience of being used as an experiment, their minds are not as naΓ―ve as their peers, but fame and fortune are such things that even many adults can't break in their lives, let alone them.
Doing good deeds does not gain the corresponding reputation, which makes them actually care about it in their hearts.
Although they did not go to school, they were on the Internet, and the information on the Internet was noisy, full of all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods, and the collision of different concepts and ideas could often make people quarrel thousands of miles apart and be angry.
Therefore, the popularity of an Internet identity can often increase the weight of discourse, and people who often go online actually hope to become Internet celebrities to a greater or lesser extent.
They are no exception.
Really!
After hearing the words of the black Wade, even the teeth were silent for a moment, and then changed the topic and said, "The doctor is so smart, he should know that this will happen, right?" We're going to stop for a few days, and we'll ask him when the doctor returns. β
Hearing Tooth's words, Herbert, another white man, suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "The devil knows when the doctor will come back, especially during this time, he told us something and disappeared." β
Wade on the side also added: "Yes, and the 'bun' also disappeared with the doctor, I still haven't figured out why the doctor has been with him, so wasteful, and it will only cost money......"
"Shhhh Speak quietly, since the doctor took him, there must be a reason for the doctor! β
"Is it possible, I mean...... Baozi is actually the doctor's lover? β
The topic gradually became crooked.
Fluttershy sits quietly, looking at the lively discussion with envy in her eyes.
She is actually very envious that the four of them can get the task assigned by the doctor, she is not an evolutionary, her body is weak, although after more than a year of training, her body has also become a little stronger, and she is no longer like before, often with fever at every turn, but what is the use of this?
Every time my brother and the others finished the task assigned by the doctor, they would have a heated discussion, and she could only sit on the sidelines, unable to interject.
He is a teenager and a boy, with little emotional intelligence, and he can't see Fluttershy's loss at all.
This time, it's still the same.
Fluttershy listens to the conversation in envy and disappointment, but suddenly, with a look of confusion on her face, she shifts her gaze to the window of the manor house and towards the dark forest far away.
She had a strange feeling, but she couldn't put it into words......
And in the direction Fluttershy is looking.
In the dark forest, a vigorous figure wearing a leopard print short skirt was standing on a large branch in the forest, looking at the manor villa in the distance with a telescope, and snorted to himself in a contemptuous tone: "It turns out that it's just five children!" β
β¦β¦
"Five kids?"
New City, Bronx.
In the office of a building.
Hearing Carina's report, Jensen Roderick, who was sitting in an office chair with his back to the floor-to-ceiling window, couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Carina twisted gracefully around the desk, then sat on Jensen's lap, and said with a charming smile: "What's the matter, you won't be afraid of all five children, right?" β
When Jensen heard this, he glanced at her and asked rhetorically, "Can five children have the money to buy such a big manor?" β
These words immediately made Carina speechless.
However, Jensen continued at this time: "However, you are right, there are only five children on the other side, there is nothing to be afraid of, not to mention that these five children have ruined so much of my business, if I don't teach them a lesson, it will not only affect my majesty in the gang, but also make other gangs laugh!" β
Speaking of the back, Jensen's face was already full of cold and murderous intent.
"This is my man!"
Hearing Jensen's words, Carina smiled with satisfaction, then crouched down in front of Jensen and bowed his head......
β¦β¦
On the outskirts of New City, Manor House.
Fluttershy has been very upset for the past two days.
Ever since Matthew had been on a mission assigned by the Doctor, she had met the Evolver of New City, and the night she had returned, she had always felt like there was an extra glimmer of sight in the Manor Villa.
But when she looked for this gaze specifically, she couldn't find it.
She told the tooth about it.
Ya was also very cautious at first, and accompanied her to look for a long time.
But in the end, I still couldn't find it.
Later, because she said it too often, and didn't find that blank look every time, Tooth stopped believing her.
Although he still patiently enlightens her every time, he no longer accompanies her to look for it.
Fluttershy is disappointed, but understandable.
She also felt that it might be her own problem, so she forced herself to stop thinking about that blank gaze.
But today, the third day after Matthew came back, her restless situation suddenly climbed to an unprecedented peak!
directly made her whole person in a kind of scalp numbness and goosebumps all over her body!
It made her very uncomfortable.
So, she found her teeth and told her about her discomfort.
"Huh? Fluttershy, what's wrong with you? β
Ya also attached great importance to it and hurriedly asked.
Fluttershy shakes her head, unable to explain why.
Seeing this, Ya frowned, but still said with concern: "Then I'll take you to the hospital first." β
Fluttershy nodded, "Hmm." β
Later, Tooth first tells them that they have not been out for the past two days, but they have been playing video games in the manor villa, waiting for the three of Matthew to wait for the doctor to return, and then they change into their clothes with Fluttershy and take the elevator to the underground garage of the manor villa.
Just as they went down to the underground garageβ
"Hugh!" "Hugh!" "Hugh!" β¦β¦
Several bazookas in a row suddenly flew out of the forest in the distance and shot towards the manor villa!
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" β¦β¦
This was accompanied by several violent explosions in succession.
The glass of the manor villa was shattered into countless glass slags and splashed all around!
At the same time, countless debris and debris in the manor villa flew out, and a large number of flames erupted from the inside out, enveloping the entire manor villa, and thick black smoke also rose into the air.
β¦β¦
Inside the underground laboratory.
Su Ling, who was soaking in the nutrient solution, moved his eyelids slightly.
It's done.
There are excuses.
However, Fluttershy's unusual behavior also makes him feel emotional.
"Is this a sense of unknown danger?"
