Chapter 143 Use Wine to Drown Your Sorrows, Force Coercion

Jill Valentine used to be a member of the S.T.A.R.S, but of course she has now been suspended for investigation.

But for her, it doesn't really matter if she stops working. The S.T.A.R.S team in Laken City was dead in name only, and she would not be interested in letting her continue.

What she wants most now is to avenge her teammates.

However, thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel depressed. The huge gap between ideal and reality made her feel deeply desperate for a time. Umbrella's giant shadow made it hard for her to even breathe. As for overthrowing it, even she herself felt like a fool's dream.

People always like to drink alcohol to relieve their sorrows when they are depressed, and Jill is no exception. In fact she has been in this bar for quite some time. Only here can she forget the anguish in her heart.

"Old Josh, give me another cup."

The bar owner shook his head, and he reached out and held the glass in front of Jill. sighed.

"I know you're upset, Jill. But drinking won't fix it."

"Damn, when did you change to be a priest." Jill pushed his hand away and snatched the bottle directly from him. "I'm consuming, and I'm generating income for you. You should fill me up honestly, not talk like my mom here.

"If it weren't for your father and I being old friends, I wouldn't be too lazy to say such nonsense to you." Old Josh took back the bottle with emotion, but still poured her a glass of wine. "The last cup, today's is my invitation. Otherwise, you can settle the account from the previous day and then talk about it."

"Got it, got it." Jill waved annoyedly, but focused on the news on TV.

"The current outbreak of crazy attacks in Laken City has increased again, and today, there have been dozens of cases. The police department said that it will do its best to prevent these crazy patients from causing more cases, but from the current point of view , the form is not optimistic.”

Seeing that Jill was so concerned about the news, old Josh also waited and watched. Then he sighed.

"The world is so chaotic, a mutant almost tore down Paris a while ago, and now there's a bunch of lunatics running around in our little place. I really don't know where to put some peace of mind."

"If I were you, I would stay away from this damn city." Jill took a sip of wine and warned faintly. "These lunatics will probably kill you."

"Don't think of me as those soft bastards who can't even hold a gun!" Old Josh immediately retorted. "Even when I'm walking home, I'll put a shotgun in my bag. If a lunatic dares to bark at me, I'll see if I don't take off a few big pieces from him."

"It won't be useful unless you blow their heads off." Jill laughed and lit a cigarette. "Shoot them in the head before they hit you. Otherwise, you're dead. Bitten or scratched."

Hearing this, old Josh choked suddenly, and it took a long time before he could speak.

"You're kidding me. Seriously, it's not funny at all."

"Do you think I'm joking?" Jill's expression was very serious in the smoke, so serious that Old Josh couldn't understand her meaning. Still, he insisted on his own ideas.

"Then I think you must be drunk, listen to my advice, Jill. You are still young, go back after this drink. After a while, you will naturally forget some things."

Jill sneered, and she breathed in smoke, clouding her expression.

"You think I'm crazy too, and you all think I'm crazy. But it's not me who's crazy. You'll regret it later."

Old Josh shrugged, completely disregarding Jill's warning.

In his eyes, this old friend's child must be overly depressed because of being suspended, and she will naturally get better after a while. He started to get busy with the things at hand, and Jill didn't want to say more nonsense to him.

These days she has been regarded by too many people as a lunatic, a lunatic full of lies and rumors. She's used to how these people see her.

She is just drinking the strong drink in front of her silently now, trying to get herself drunk with these things so that she can forget about that nightmare. But no matter how she poured herself into it, it was impossible for her to forget those things. Those things have completely changed her life.

Jill was still drinking, but there was already one more person beside him. The man looked at her for a while, and then asked after a long time.

"Jill Valentine. That's right."

Jill squinted at this strange Asian man with a tall figure and an unfamiliar face. Completely unknown guy.

"do we know each other?"

"No, I just wanted to make sure. Are you?" The stranger looked at him with a single fluorescent glow on his black flat eyes.

"I think you've got the wrong person." Jill's eyes were blurry, but he was still very alert. She put her hand quietly behind her, where she put a pistol.

"I don't think I'm wrong, unless there are two identical people in this world." The stranger smiled. "But if you still need to confirm. Then, are you Jill Valentine, a former member of S.T.A.R.S. Now a famous lunatic detective in the city?"

As soon as these words came out, Jill immediately stood up from her chair, and she drew a pistol from behind and aimed it at the stranger. A cold question came out of his mouth.

"Are you sent by Umbrella?"

I have to say, she was very lucky. Because during this time period, there were no other customers in the bar except her. Otherwise, just by the threat of a gun, she could be on TV again.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do this." The stranger shook his head, trying to get closer. But as soon as he moved, Jill pulled the insurance directly.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do it," she said in the same words, but with a completely different meaning. "Answer me, who are you?"

"Seriously, it's really unsafe to shoot at such close range!" The stranger shrugged and leaped forward. Before Jill could react, he pressed the barrel of the gun with his hand. Although Jill had subconsciously pulled the trigger, the bullet missed the target. Instead, it smashed the chair next to it.

This made Jill immediately feel very bad. She hurriedly punched the strange man's wrist, trying to make him release his pistol by hitting the wrist joint. But the stranger reacted faster than her.

He directly bent his arms and put his elbows on Jill's shoulders, causing her body to tilt immediately. And he himself was close to him, grabbed her waving fist with one hand, and pushed gently at the same time. Jill, who had been drinking a lot of alcohol, couldn't control her balance at this time, and she poured her whole body behind her.

Just as she was about to fall to the ground, the stranger yanked again. Pull her into his arms. However, his posture is not ambiguous, but full of coercion. Because his arms were wrapped around her neck, and the other hand held Jill's gun and pressed it against her waist.

"The closer the gun is, the less threatening it is. Because you don't have much time to react." The stranger's teasing voice sounded in her ear, making Jill's heart burn with anger. She tried desperately to break free from the stranger's hold, but she couldn't break free from his arms.

It seemed that she had no choice but to take it easy. However, you must know that she is not alone here.

A shotgun sticks out from the side and is aimed at the back of the stranger's head. Old Qiao Xu's vicious voice also followed.

"Let her go, bastard. Or you'll get a taste of deer bullets."

"Okay, okay. Don't get offended, or this beauty and I will have to sort out the remains." The stranger slowly raised the hand holding the gun, under the vigilant eyes of old Josh. Little by little, put the gun on the bar.

Old Josh stared at him closely, but his attention was inevitably distracted as the pistol swung past his eyes. And just this moment, the stranger seized the opportunity.

The pistol suddenly landed on the table, making old Josh's eyes jump. The stranger took the opportunity to wave back, and his arm hit Old Josh's shotgun directly. The muzzle of the shotgun shook violently. At this time, the shotgun was no longer aimed at the original target. And just taking advantage of this small interval, the stranger has already pulled out a revolver.

The huge, delicate revolver held up old Josh's jaw before he could move the muzzle back, causing him to stop himself honestly. The stranger smiled softly.

"Although I don't want to say it, but it seems that I won, so how about sitting down and talking?"

Jill was still struggling, she had already tried elbowing strangers in the ribs, but to no avail. It feels like gesturing with a Special Forces combat instructor, all your attacks don't work as they should. On the contrary, under his attack, you are like a small boat in a storm, unable to even find the direction.

So in the end, she could only ask in frustration.

"What do you want to talk about? If Umbrella asked you to shut up, I mind you'd better kill me. Unless I'm dead, I'll never be able to shut up about that."

The stranger sighed, and he motioned old Josh to drop the shotgun in his hand. After he did so, he closed the revolver in his hand and released Jill, who was being controlled.

"I don't mean anything, Miss Valentine. I wanted to talk to you about S.T.A.R.S. I thought maybe you needed some help."

As soon as he left the stranger's embrace, Jill immediately stepped back and opened the distance. She looked at the stranger warily and asked.

"Help, how can you help me?"

"Avenge your comrades and protect the inhabitants of this city. Isn't this help enough?"

revenge. Hearing this word, Jill's tired mind was like a fueled engine. It was something she had been thinking about. She knew that if she couldn't avenge those dead teammates, she would have no peace of mind in her whole life. So whether it was for herself or for those dead comrades in arms, she had to agree.

However, her reason has not disappeared from her body, she will not unconditionally trust a stranger. Unless he comes up with something he can believe.

"Who are you and why are you helping me?"

(Sorry, I'm getting busier and busier as graduation approaches. I have to go to the job fair today. There may only be one update.)
