Chapter 754 Surprise

On the way back, Huaishi sat in the car and watched the dazzling neon lights gradually fade away into the more familiar dim neighborhoods.

Under the already smashed street lights, homeless people living in cardboard boxes poked their heads out of the alleys to look around. From the distance, voices of anger and scolding, as well as the cries of children, could be heard.

With the sound of iron scraping together, the grocery store closed for business and opened the gate.

Soon, apart from the hurried footsteps of pedestrians, the only sound left on the street was the sound of drunkards vomiting...

It can't be said to be happy or beautiful, but for some reason, Huaishi finally relaxed, as if she had returned to reality from a floating bubble, and felt the familiar gravity.

He closed his eyes and sighed silently.

"Boss seems to be in a bad mood." Ueno, who was driving, suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Huai Shi asked, "Why do you say that? Is my expression so obvious?"

Ueno thought for a long time, then patted his head and shook his head: "I don't know, I feel..."

Huaishi's poems are speechless. Is this the keen intuition of single-celled organisms? It is really admirable.

He thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Ueno, if one day you can stop being a Yakuza, what would you like to do?"

"Huh?" Ueno didn't understand at all.

"I mean...what are you going to do if you don't become a Yakuza?"

Ueno was in disbelief: "Wouldn't it be possible to survive?"

"...Isn't that the case?"

"Boss, I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I can't even use a calculator." Ueno said seriously: "If I have a tattoo, people in convenience stores won't want me. Besides, I have such a bad temper. What if? What should I do if I hurt a guest?"

Huai Shi couldn't help but want to roll her eyes.

"...Okay, let's not talk about the actual conditions. I just want to know: if you were given the chance to choose, is there anything you want to do? For example, a dream or something."

"I've never thought about that, isn't that kind of thing too complicated?" Ueno thought for a long time, then suddenly looked back, full of curiosity: "Where are you, boss?"

Huai Shi didn't expect that he would be defeated by an army.

After thinking about it for a moment, I couldn't help but shrug.

"To be honest, I used to want to be an artist, um, the kind who plays music, but then I thought it would be good to be a teacher. Seeing the students grow, I felt like I had grown too..."

Before Huaishi could see it, he saw Ueno's expression of confusion and openness to speak, so he frowned: "If you dare to say, 'Me too,' I will throw you out of here."

"Me too...cough cough cough."

Ueno got stuck in the middle of what he said. After thinking for a long time, he asked tentatively: "Then it will be okay for me to become a physical education teacher, right?"

"What to teach?" Huai Shi sighed: "Teach the children to use a knife to grab territory and kill people?"

"...Can't you?" Ueno's eyes widened in disbelief.

Huai Shi couldn't help but want to cover her face.

What misunderstandings do you have about school? Which ordinary school in the world would teach students this kind of thing...

"Ah, I always feel very complicated."

Ueno smiled awkwardly: "If you can live a happy life without being a Yakuza, it is always a good thing, right? However, I think there is no need to think so long-term... Anyway, a rice ball only costs 30 yuan, so it's not a big deal to work hard. Yes.

As long as people are alive, there is always a way. "

He thought for a while and said with confidence: "My mother taught me: today's things are done today, and tomorrow's things will be discussed tomorrow! Why do you think about so many useless things?"

"..."

In silence, Huai Shi looked up at him in astonishment, as if meeting him for the first time, dumbfounded. For a long time, I couldn't help but burst into laughter, leaning forward and back, overwhelmed with joy.

Ueno looked over in the rearview mirror with a confused look on his face:

"Did I say something wrong, boss?"

"No, your father is really a wise man, Ueno."

Huai Shi patted him on the shoulder and laughed happily: "This is really the most reasonable sentence I have heard tonight!"

"Eh? Is that so?"

"Of course. Let's go drinking tonight. Do you want to join us?"

"Okay, okay."

"Ah, I really want to drink, I want to eat sushi and sashimi, curry rice, fried pork cutlets, peony hot pot, ramen, and tempura...I want to soak in hot springs, horse-killing chicken, and bubble baths. …”

Under the miserable moonlight, Tony held the bowl of instant noodles and sighed at the moon.

The limp horse-faced mask was fluttering in the wind, making the abstract face look even more sad.

"Why is this happening? It's rare to come to Yingzhou for a business trip..."

In the bleak wind, he sighed sadly: "Is life only like this when you work overtime, or is it always like this?"

No one responded.

Only the horse-faced man shook his head, picked up the bowl of instant noodles, then held the limp horse-faced mask with one hand, and poured the soup and noodles into the hole in the big mouth.

After a hollow sound like filling a kettle, there was the sound of chewing.

Finally, there was a hiccup.

This is how dinner ends, perhaps with midnight snacks and tomorrow's breakfast.

The sad Astronomical Society animal put the lighter into the horse's mouth, pressed it twice, and then blew out two wisps of green smoke from his nostrils, and looked up at the rooftop.

In the still night, the dusty warehouse was silent in darkness.

"Speaking of which...is this a lackluster place for old colleagues to meet? The class has dropped, brother."

Tony muttered to himself, took a step forward, stepped on the edge of the floor, and looked down at the drop below the rooftop. After determining the height, he turned around, spread his arms, and suddenly jumped up.

Just like that, he fell towards the ground behind him.

In mid-air, he flipped his body flexibly, swung his horse's face, gyrated in the wind that hit him, flipped two and a half times, then turned two and a half times, and then spun like a small top while falling rapidly. After going through an exaggerated arc at 1,080 degrees, it finally shattered the fragile ceiling of the warehouse.

Falling from the sky!

In the loud noise, the uninvited guest broke into the light behind the ceiling and fell to the ground with a hurricane, but not a wisp of dust was raised.

"Yeah - perfect score!"

Under the pale light, Tony stood up slowly, smoothed the horse's mane on the back of his head, held the gun in both hands, aimed it at both sides, and looked around.

"Hello? Is Mr. Phoenix at home?"

In the silence, no one responded.

But Tony did not relax his vigilance and searched every place in the warehouse step by step.

The warehouse that should have been abandoned for many years is actually filled with all kinds of equipment that should not be there at all. The dense surveillance screens display images of various key areas in Kyoto, but most of them are inside the inner circle of Tamba. scene.

As the retrieval program was running, the server immersed in the huge water tank continuously emitted high heat and a dull buzzing sound.

The surrounding walls are covered with a dazzling array of weapons, including mountains of boxes, alchemical explosives that are enough to lift an entire stadium into the sky, and shoulder-mounted rocket launchers that should not appear in the city at all.

The deepest table is piled with countless complicated files, information and records, and just on the wall is a huge map of Kyoto, densely packed with different marks.

Tony approached step by step, and he picked up a piece of information, and saw the intelligence analysis on the 'Juntian White Fox'. He picked up another piece, and it was about the changes in the position of the Luming Hall.

Then, there are the external action records of the emperor's personal army, as well as the information of important figures in the shogunate under the general, and the monthly briefings of the Yingzhou Administration Bureau branch...

Even in the end...

Under countless information and records, there is a resume marked [Top Secret].

Under the logo of the Original Dark Legion, in the photo, the man wearing a horse-face mask looked blankly at himself outside the photo.

It was at that moment that the cold barrel of the gun pressed against the back of his head.

A long-lost frivolous voice sounded from behind.

"Did you miss me? Mr. Centaur." In the darkness where the desk lamp could not shine, the former ace assassin of the Dark Legion, 'Phoenix', greeted him like this.

Tony's movements stopped in place, seemingly stiff:

"trap?"

"Ha, who knows?" Phoenix asked nonchalantly, "How long have you been looking for me?"

"About half a month? Well, it started when I found out at the nursing home in Shambhala that you wanted to skip the bill." Tony reminded warmly: "Don't stop taking the medicine, Liu Dongli."

"Don't worry, I grabbed a big sum before I left. It's enough for me to eat until my birthday next year."

Tony smiled: "What are you going to do after your birthday? Make a bang and turn it into a source of pollution?"

"Thank you for your concern. I will find a good place with beautiful scenery and dig a hole to bury myself in advance. Please remember to give me flowers when the time comes."

"I have to say that your colleagues and your family are very concerned about you." Tony sighed: "In order to avoid any unpleasant friction among everyone, can you please go back to the picturesque nursing home?"

"Ah, don't worry, I have confidence in you - my colleagues are tolerant, my family understands the truth, this world is so beautiful, even if I am gone, everyone will be able to live in harmony."

Behind him, Liu Dongli whistled: "As long as the company is willing to pay more pensions."

"I don't think it's possible."

Tony once again advised: "Go back with me, Liu Dongli, many people are looking for you. Others may not be as reasonable as me."

"Bringing a gun to reason?"

"I just brought a gun because I wanted to be reasonable."

Tony reminded: "If you just run away, why are you trying to rob the technical department's deep vault? Now, the overhead floors of the command bureau, the pollution management center of the survival institute, and the law firm of the technical department are all looking for you... Some want to die, some want to live, and some want to be half dead.”

"It sounds hard to agree on."

"Who says it's not?" Tony shrugged helplessly, "So, do you want to consider my suggestion!"

At that moment, a loud noise broke out, and the entire warehouse suddenly shook.

The miserable white frost spread from Tony's body, and as the eternal frost wind swept across, everything around him was frozen in huge and solid ice.

Including Liu Dongli behind him.

But when he turned back, he saw that the ice behind him was empty, with no trace of anyone.

Only the lightbulb above his head burst silently, engulfing everything in darkness.

Then, gunshots broke out.

The molten alchemical bullets turned into blazing light in the barrel of the gun, criss-crossing the empty darkness, leaving streaks of tearing light.

Sparks flew.

As the figure approached closely, the two daggers collided, briefly illuminating two completely different faces.

One has a frosty horse face, while the other looks like an Ultraman mask bought randomly from the street.

"Ace?"

During the fierce fight, Tony was amused: "Your hobby is so unpopular."

"This is Zoffie, you know nothing about the Giant of Light!"

Liu Dongli yelled: "Eat my Ultra Kick!"

But in the darkness, not only was there no sound of flying kicks breaking through the air, but the bright light of bullets lit up from behind Tony.

There was a sharp loud noise, and the flaming bullet flew away under the blocking of the saber.

Tony yelled angrily: "What kind of fucking flying kick is this?"

"You don't understand this. Everything can be kicked. RPGs can also be kicked. Why can't bullets be counted as flying kicks?"

Liu Dongli pressed forward step by step, as if he had already predicted all his methods. He perfectly dodged all Tony's counterattacks and used a dagger and magic bullets in his pistol to completely suppress the third-level frost giant. Got it!

Tony retreated, dodging the dagger that stabbed the horse's face, and suddenly dropped the knife. The extreme cold and blizzard in his palm spurted out, turning into a sharp long knife, slashing.

empty!

When he wanted to take off the flash bomb behind him, he heard a crisp sound coming from the location of the flash bomb.

Then a dazzling light burst out in front of his eyes.

He didn't even have time to close his eyes.

Then, a punch.

The mask on the horse's face hit him in the face, causing him to stumble and retreat, but there was no way to retreat behind him and he was already forced into a corner.

The cracked dagger instantly penetrated his palm and pinned him to the wall.

Then, the dark barrel of the gun pressed against his head.

"do not move."

Liu Dongli warned indifferently: "This time, I will not be merciful, Centaur."

In the silence, Tony gasped softly, staring at the long-lost face and his seemingly unfocused pupils through the dim light flickering on the server.

Finally, it dawned on me.

"...the time axis is misaligned?"

He asked coldly: "How many times have you jumped, Liu Dongli?"

As if he knew he was going to ask this, a mocking smile appeared on that face: "It has nothing to do with you, Tony. Why do you ask the same question every time?"

"You should be aware of the consequences of time jump. Without the cooperation of the main frame of the Rainbow Bridge, the time misalignment between perception and body will become more and more serious..."

Unstable time jumps will produce errors, tear apart the soul and consciousness, and cause the time of the senses and body to be misaligned.

The body is active at this moment, but the consciousness has drifted into the future uncontrollably.

This is not a good thing that brings about foreknowledge.

But it is a harbinger of collapse.

Rather, after experiencing more than seventeen jumps, Liu Dongli has not collapsed yet, which is truly unexpected.

Even one illegal jump should have torn his soul apart and caused him to self-destruct.

It's a miracle that he survives to this day.

"How did you do that?" Tony asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's... a secret."

Liu Dongli finally smiled at him and pulled the trigger.

Tony's vision went dark, his body twitched involuntarily, and he quickly lost all his strength.

"Ah ha, tranquilizer bomb, are you surprised?"

Accompanied by a happy whistle, the smiling face retreated and disappeared into the darkness in front of him.
