Chapter 5: The Crimson Countess

Walter Theme Park is the largest superhero-related amusement park in the United States, covering 50 square kilometers, with a constant stream of visitors every day, with thousands of visitors on weekdays and tens of thousands at its peak.

The entrance to the park is a castle-style arched gate with a rainbow sign of the Kingdom of the Tiger Lady Maeve glued to it.

There are all kinds of entertainment equipment such as roller coasters, dark Ferris wheels, deep-sea pirate ships, etc.

There are also Tiger Lady Maeve Chicken Tacos, Black Lives Matter Burger, Vigilant Chow Mein, Sexual Minority Turkey Thighs, and many other delicacies.

The staff in the costumes of the big-headed motherland people, while taking photos with tourists, said the classic line: "You are a real hero." ”

Gu Xin entered the theater of Walter Land according to the signs, sat down in the corner, and from time to time tourists came in in twos and threes, and most of the seats in the spacious theater that were large enough to accommodate hundreds of people were already seated.

"Soldier Boy Grew Up in the Birthplace of American Freedom......"

The screen on the stage lights up and begins to play the history of the Soldier Boy, and a deep male narrator introduces him:

"Born on the run-down streets of South Philadelphia, he acquired the values of hard work, tenacity, and courage that he used to prove to the world the superiority of the United States......"

"Brothers! Teach these Germans a good lesson! ”

On the big screen, a soldier boy in a military uniform held a submachine gun, raised his arms, and led the team to charge.

The theater was very dark, and no one noticed that Gu Xin was sitting in the corner, looking exactly like the superhero on the screen.

As a black-robed drama viewer who knows the plot, Gu Xin said that the narrator said all, and none of it was true.

The soldier boy was not born in a slum, but his family was very well-off, and he never joined the army, let alone fought on the Normandy landings, but was just for show.

"In the process, he found the love of a good woman, and this love made his sacrifice even more noble." A photo of the Soldier Boy and the Crimson Countess embracing each other pops up on the big screen.

"It was because of him who gave his life that we were saved from a nuclear holocaust, and together we salute the soldier boy." A black-and-white photo of the explosion of the nuclear power plant popped up on the big screen.

After the video is played, the big screen rises and a crimson countess with burgundy hair appears, the skin on her face already a little loose.

She wore a mask that covered her eyes alone, a burgundy low-cut combat uniform, and a burgundy cloak, and sang loudly.

At the climax of the song, her fingertips are like triangles, and the dazzling light gathers in the middle, and with a push of her hand, the light cluster flies over the auditorium, illuminating the theater red.

At the end of the song, the Crimson Countess bowed and stepped down.

An outdated old superhero like her can only rely on the remnants of the soldier boy's fame to play the emotional card, and engage in sex videos with curious old white men at night to maintain her lavish life.

Backstage at the theater, the Crimson Countess mashes the stimulant drugs on the dressing table into powder and sweeps them into the cup of coffee, so cold that she sticks out her tongue and rolls her eyes.

The Crimson Countess, who had been waiting for her to slow down, heard the footsteps coming from behind her, turned around and said, "My dear fan, how are you ......"

The words stopped abruptly, and the Crimson Countess stood up abruptly, and said with an extremely complicated face, "Soldier boy...... How did you escape from Russia! ”

Although she hadn't seen her in forty years, and the man in front of her was dressed in civilian clothes, she could be sure that she wouldn't be mistaken.

"Kill all the bastards who want to stop me from going back to New York, it's as simple as that." Gu Xin approached step by step.

The Crimson Countess reluctantly smiled, "Baby, you look so young, I'm sorry for what I've done." ”

Gu Xin said indifferently: "Don't talk nonsense, let's do it." ”

The crimson countess gritted her teeth, her ten fingers connected, and the light condensed in the triangular hand hole, and the burgundy light shot out, and with a bang, Gu Xin was blown apart.

Scraps of flesh were everywhere, and blood was even splattered on her body.

The Crimson Countess breathed a sigh of relief, and the boulder that had been pressing down on her heart had finally settled.

All these years, she lived in fear that the soldier boy would flee from Russia and launch bloody revenge against her.

To her surprise, the Soldier Boy has become much weaker, and it seems that the Soldier Boy's experience in Russia has greatly reduced his strength.

The Crimson Countess turned around and rummaged through the cabinets, turning out all the jewelry and dollars, and she was leaving New York, a place of right and wrong, to live in seclusion in remote Texas.

The Crimson Countess's movements suddenly stopped, and she looked back in disbelief, only to see that the piece of meat on the ground was nowhere to be seen, and Gu Xin was standing there intact.

"How, how is it possible, you just died!" She stammered.

The Crimson Countess shot out the ball of light again, but this time it hit Gu Xin to no avail.

Gu Xin grabbed the Crimson Countess's hair, snapped, and smashed her head on the makeup mirror, which suddenly shattered like a spider's web.

The Crimson Countess knew that she had no chance of living, and cried: "The Russians didn't give me a penny, they didn't give me anything, I don't love you, I hate you, we all hate you, as long as we can let you die, even if there is no benefit, we are willing to do it!" ”

Gu Xin opened the door of death and smashed the head of the Crimson Countess to pieces with a thud.

The body of the Crimson Countess slid to the ground, blood oozing from her neck that drew a trail of blood out of the white walls.

Syllable!

Gu Xin broke the window and left, disappearing into the night in an instant.

……

The death of the Crimson Countess did not make much waves in society, after all, she was just an outdated superhero.

There was not even a memorial service, only some people spontaneously placed a few flowers under the wall-like walls of the Walter theme park to express their condolences.

But there are still people who associate gunpowder with the death of the Crimson Countess, and realize that things may not be so simple.

On the other side, inside the Office of the Executive Vice President of the Waters Company Building.

The motherland put his legs on the desk, twisted his body with the leather swivel chair, and smiled at Madeleine in front of him: "Madam Vice President, I still have a promotional video to shoot, why did you suddenly call me here?" ”

Madeleine looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Motherland, you promise me that after I tell you about this, you must not act excessively. ”

The people of the motherland said nonchalantly: "I am not a three-year-old child, you can just say." ”

Madeleine was silent for a moment before she said, "He's gone." ”

"What do you mean 'he's gone'?" The Motherland put away a cynical smile.

"He dug out the tracking chip."

As she spoke, Madeleine placed a clear plastic bag on the table, which contained the capsule-shaped tracker inside the dark body.
