Chapter 44: The Gunslinger
"Do you have any evidence that this parishioner was armed? If not, I hope a few of you don't interfere with the annual Christmas Mass. When the priest had finished speaking, he said, "You must know that Mr. Mayor is also down there." β
The agents laughed in their hearts, what about the mayor? Whether they are CIA police officers in New York or not, they don't care too much about the face of mayors and governors, they are directly under the control of the president!
However, they are also aware of the influence of the Catholic Order, and do not want to clash with them head-on.
"I'm sorry, Father. Please continue the Mass, Your Excellency, we will not disturb him, we will take this person back to investigate, and if he is not in trouble, we will naturally release him. Carter said as he motioned for the other agents to hurry up and take them away.
The agents were fast, and although the man kept protesting, they quickly led him out of the church.
Bishop Joton made a light cross on his chest, whispered a few words of prayer, and then began to read the Bible.
Several agents who came in escorted the man out of the church, but Chen Xi did not go out, and when they clashed with the priests, Chen Xi had already found a place where no one was to sit down. He was a little surprised at the thought of some possibility, so he carefully left himself in the church.
"Chen! What are you doing? Where did it go? Hurry up and come out! After Carter went out, he saw that Chen Xi did not come out with him, so he quickly contacted him, and almost roared in a low voice.
Chen Xi's eyes kept staring in one direction, and he adjusted the micro microphone on his chest slightly as if nothing happened, and replied in a low voice: "Okay, Mr. Carter, I'll go out in a while, soon, don't worry." β
βShitοΌ The first time you participated in the operation, you dared to disobey the command! Did you know that this is a serious consequence? Carter was already a little annoyed.
Chen Xi doesn't care about his anger, anyway, he doesn't act officially, fuck, he doesn't give himself guns and body armor, and he has to listen to the command himself? However, Chen Xi thought about it calmly, it was better not to offend him first, and now that he didn't have arrogant capital, he simply told Carter about his doubts.
When Carter heard Chen Xi's words, he hurriedly took the man to the car with the agents and immediately searched him, but there was nothing on the man! The gun he saw on his surveillance could not be found on the man at all!
Just when the other agents wondered if Carter was wrong, Carter already understood that, as Chen Xi said, he might have been fooled!
Chen Xi kept staring in the direction in front of him, looking at the neighborhood where the person walked out just now. Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone there to start the action!
Next to the man who had just been arrested, a man pulled out a pistol and began to shoot at the bishop, assistant bishops, and priests in front of him!
When Chen Xi saw that the man was honestly arrested, he felt that there was something wrong, and immediately realized that they might use the trick of "diverting the tiger from the mountain" and took the initiative to go out alone and lure the agents out. The man may have transferred the gun to his accomplices before he went out, so Carter and the others couldn't find anything out of him.
Seeing that the man raised his gun, Chen Xi quickly stood up and ran in his direction. The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, Chen Xi secretly scolded in his heart, if he had a gun, he would be a yellow finch in the back at this time. Indeed, everyone's eyes were attracted by those agents just now, and no one paid attention to Chen Xi in the back, and probably no one thought that this young Chinese was also from the CIA.
When the man inside showed his gun, the remaining agents who were monitoring the car immediately discovered the situation and rushed to the church with emergency reinforcements again, and at the same time passed the information to Carter and several of the first agents to enter. So, handcuffing the suspect, the agents immediately ran back to the church.
Unmuffled gunshots rang out continuously, and the cacophony tore apart the silence and solemnity of the church. The man's bullets were unstoppable, and they all shot at the target, Chen Xi saw it clearly, and those bishops and priests were only afraid that they would fall a lot. By this time, he was about to run to the criminal, but as soon as the gunshots rang out, the whole church was in chaos, and the believers immediately screamed and retreated outside.
Chen Xi let those believers squeeze, and their speed immediately slowed down, and they couldn't even move forward, because the people in front were all retreating. The same happened to the agents who rushed in, as they were scattered by the crowd at the door, unable to get in.
Chen Xi, who was squeezed, saw that the man had already taken advantage of the chaos to squeeze into the crowd, but the direction was not his side, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
It seemed that the man hadn't noticed that Chen Xi was staring at him not far away, and when he saw such a chaotic situation, he seemed to be very relaxed, understanding that it was impossible for those agents to squeeze in so smoothly, what he had to do now was to determine how many clergy to kill, and how many more to kill.
Chen Xi tried his best to squeeze forward, but against everyone, it was almost difficult to move forward, and as soon as he naturally stretched out his hand, he couldn't help but discharge. However, seeing the current situation, if you are electrified, it may affect hundreds of people inside, and the scene will be even more chaotic.
"Fuck! It's just that this ghost church is the largest in the United States, and it can hold so many people! Chen Xi scolded in his heart, suddenly, in a hurry, he suddenly thought of some of his unused kung fu, I don't know if it will work?
At this moment, there was no time for him to think about it, and he immediately stepped from the crowd onto the bench next to him. At this time, everyone is desperately squeezing into the aisle, rushing out, standing on the chair will immediately become a conspicuous target of the gunman, naturally no one will fight with Chen Xi.
Chen Xi stood on the bench and immediately saw the location of the gunman, he was not far in front, looking at the panicked priests and deacons in surprise, and raised the gun in his hand. Seeing him take out his gun, the believers who had been crowded around him immediately screamed and fled desperately, avoiding his surroundings.
When he was in prison, after Chen Xi manipulated the electrical energy, the energy in his body increased greatly, so Taichen taught him some strange kung fu, saying that it was a spell, and Chen Xi didn't care about it at that time, just studied and cultivated according to what he taught. However, he has never had a chance to use it, because most of his fists can be solved, or they use electricity, which are very neat. But now when I can't help it, I want to try it too, hoping that these spells can help.
He didn't care about anything shocking now, and no one had the leisure to look at him in the crowd around him.
Chen Xi stretched out his right hand, and at the same time quickly adjusted the power in his body, and according to the method taught by Taichen, he ran a force that was released from his hand. A cold energy erupted from his hand, and it flew around the gunman, enveloping him immediately.
The gunman was holding a gun and aiming at the clergy, when suddenly his body was attacked by a strange force, his whole body could not move, and he only felt cold, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.
Chen Xi naturally couldn't suck that person over, but he reluctantly fixed him there. The position where they were standing was already in the front place, and after holding on for a while, the believers in front had buffered to the side of the gate, which was temporarily emptied.
Chen Xi was very happy to see these spells work, if that guy Zuen knew, he would think that he had other special functions! Well, maybe you can ask him for a raise! He stepped out of his chair and walked slowly towards the gunman, who had been controlled by himself.
Walking behind the gunman and seeing that the person's body was trembling, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel a little proud. "You know it's amazing, right? Lao Tzu acted for the first time today, where is there face without a little credit? It's unlucky to meet a river dragon from China! Next time you pretend to be a little more like, you have to be more willing, and you can be more convinced by being caught with a gun! β
That being said, however, Chen Xi has already made plans, he still can't receive this credit now, and he must give it to Carter, so that he will be more comfortable in the future. The first action stole everyone's limelight, who will look at you in the future? will find fault with you and pull you back.
In this environment, Chen Xi naturally thinks about safety first, safety first. But it's a bit difficult to give them the credit, to make them understand in their hearts, but not too obvious.
"May the Lord bless you."
Chen Xi was standing behind the gunman, enjoying the pleasure of controlling him, when he heard the voice, he tilted his head, and saw a clergyman standing in front of the gunman, with a cross on his chest, looking at the two of them with a loving look.
It seemed that this was a priest, and when he saw Chen Xi looking at him, he turned to the side, smiled and said to Chen Xi: "My lord will bless you." β
Isn't that a strange scene? A priest actually came over peacefully and said something to a criminal who had just shot their bishop, which made Chen Xi incomprehensible, could it be that these priests had already seen through life and death?
The priest's serene expression made Chen Xi feel a strange feeling in his heart. He looked ahead again, and was surprised to find a miraculous thing, I don't know if the gunman's marksmanship is really too bad, or if their clergy really have God blessed, he just shot so many people in a row, and none of them fell! No wonder he was aiming his gun again, no wonder he was surprised.
"Father, you didn't ......" Chen Xizheng wanted to say, "It's okay if you're okay", and at the same time show his identity. But before he could speak, he noticed that the peaceful priest raised his hand and slapped it on his forehead.
It's not a big deal to be slapped on the forehead, maybe it's their etiquette. But when his hand clapped, Chen Xi faintly saw a white light, which made him very strange.
An even stranger thing happened, after the priest slapped Chen Xi on the forehead, Chen Xi's body immediately fell out!
