Chapter 42 Falling Into the Trap
After a dinner without any surprises, Roddy didn't dare to use his mind reading skills to listen to Noah Burnett's thinking. The eyes of the future father-in-law seemed to have magical powers, making Roddy feel that there was no pretense. significance.
Without getting any more clues, Roddy simply relaxed and re-entered the state of his future son-in-law. A meal is eaten with relish, at least it is much better than the takeaway these days.
Claire's mother had a good impression of Roddy and enthusiastically recommended homemade cakes to him. Luo Di was a little flattered, it seems that this future mother-in-law is not difficult to get along with.
At the banquet, Roddy carefully sensed Noah Burnett's emotions. I dare not eavesdrop directly on my heart, for fear that if I hear some news that I can't help myself, in front of this extremely shrewd future father-in-law, I will show my feet if I am not careful.
What made Roddy quite relieved was that Noah Burnett had never shown any hostility in the emotional induction, and he clinked glasses with him enthusiastically at the dinner table. As for the fact that minors are not allowed to drink alcohol, it is actually limited to not being able to drink in public places, and generally they will not be punished at home.
Luo Di drank a lot, and it is estimated that not many people can refuse the toast from his father-in-law. What's more, every word of Noah Burnett can make the atmosphere more heated, and even Claire, who is worried that Roddy is drunk, can't say anything to stop it. If Rody really wanted to blend into this atmosphere, he could only drink it.
After the meal was over, Rody felt a little wobbly. Although what he drank was only low-alcohol red wine, he couldn't hold a large amount. Moreover, Luo Di's drinking capacity was average, and half a bottle of red wine would not work. Fortunately, Noah didn't continue to drink, but rather thoughtfully asked him to rest at home before leaving.
Rody stayed at Claire's house for about an hour before he finally recovered a bit. It was past nine o'clock in the evening, and Roddy felt better, so he left Claire's house.
The night was falling and the street lights were dim. Rody walked alone on the road, but felt that the short distance of 100 meters seemed extremely long. After walking for a while, Rody began to feel that something was wrong. Although he was a little drunk, it was not a short walk that would take half an hour.
It's just that the effect of alcohol made his mental power blurred, and he couldn't even sense the surrounding situation. Rody was shocked, and a feeling of uneasiness and danger came to his heart.
However, Rody didn't panic, he always calmed down when faced with major events, this was what he often warned himself. Such a weird scene, Roddy can only use the ability of mutants to explain. It's just that the mental power detection is invalid, and Rody doesn't even know where the culprit is.
A few days ago, Rody probably had no choice but to directly summon Deathwing to crush him with absolute strength. But this time, Rody had other options.
Under Roddy's efforts to control, the mental power affected by alcohol became active, and an invisible field began to slowly unfold. This is the ability shielding area obtained from the Haitians. Although the range is only about 30 meters, which is much smaller than that of the Haitians, the effect of shielding abilities is not compromised.
With the expansion of the ability shielding field, Roddy's mental power detection began to recover. What was in front of him was no longer the dimly lit alley, but an extremely empty warehouse. A dozen or so men in black with masked hoods had already surrounded Rody.
Roddy couldn't help swallowing, the scene was a bit big this time. But seeing that these men in black didn't take action to deal with him for the time being, could it be that he didn't realize that he had seen through the illusion? Where are they leading me?
There are a lot of questions in Rody's mind,
But now surrounded by more than a dozen people, he is not sure how to break the situation, so he might as well use his tricks to see what these people want to do.
As Rody was thinking this, the rhythm of his footsteps slowed down a little, and then he heard someone say: "He has broken the illusion!" The voice was so hoarse that even men, women and children could not hear it.
"Is there a mistake! You can see this too?!" Roddy almost shouted out this sentence, his body reacted immediately, and shot at one of the men in black with his right hand hook. The high-voltage arc dazzled everyone's eyes, and the air was immediately filled with the smell of ozone.
But these men in black were obviously well-trained, and Roddy's hook was easily dodged, while the other men in black had already pulled out their pistols and shot at Roddy.
A dozen people surrounded Rody, and they dared to shoot at the same time. Aren't they afraid of accidental injury? Such a thought flashed across Rody, and he slowed down his vision, only to find that the positions of the dozen or so people were ingenious, each of them was directly opposite to the gap between the other two, so even if Rody dodged them, he would not be afraid of accidental injury companion.
The guns used by these men in black should be specially made, and the bullets they fired turned out to be in the shape of tiny syringes filled with transparent liquid. Although it seems to be much less powerful than metal bullets, Rody doesn't want to know what these liquids are.
There were too many bullets, and it was impossible for Roddy to dodge them one by one, but the clothes on his body quickly turned to silver gray under the effect of the metallization ability. There was a clatter of jingling, and the bullets from these syringes were all shattered on Roddy's clothes.
"Aim for the head and hands!" The nasty voice sounded again, but Roddy couldn't tell where it came from.
Roddy still kept his clothes metalized, and launched a mental attack hastily, concussing a man in black directly opposite him. The power of thought turned into two invisible balls spinning rapidly, flying around the head quickly, knocking all the bullets fired towards the head into the air.
As Rody expected, the body and palms were shot continuously, and this group of people would not be so stupid as to really only hit the head. However, this kind of syringe bullets cannot penetrate metalized clothes, and there is no need to worry about the protection of the Hidden Blade Armguards on both hands.
After the second round of barrage ended, Rody took the time to kill a man in black with a mental attack. In doing so, there is a gap in one of the aspects.
Rody was about to make a breakthrough in one go, but he heard the hoarse voice say: "It's a mental attack, use noise, cast a net!"
As soon as the voice fell, there was a harsh noise, like thousands of chainsaws working at the same time, and like countless kittens scratching the glass with their paws. It was not only sharp and harsh, but also had a terrifying feeling of scratching the heart and lungs.
Under this kind of noise attack, Rody couldn't concentrate at all, and the two abilities of mental power and mind power were tantamount to useless.
Immediately afterwards, a huge net fell down, and Rody rolled and avoided in embarrassment, but he managed to escape one, and the other net was already waiting for him.
