Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 33 32. The Evil Star

"Ding Ding Ding"

In the dimly lit room filled with smoke, the clear and crisp sound of the phone suddenly rang, and it kept ringing, making people confused.

After a while, the phone was picked up. A woman with an astonishing figure standing in the shadows put the phone to her ear. She coughed lightly and said impatiently:

"Hello? Who are you? What can you do with me?"

"I was introduced by some friends. They said that you are the best mercenary available in the market right now? I want to ask you, do you accept the commission?"

The old butler of Wayne Manor said in a flat tone:

"I need you to go to Oakland and help me save someone."

"Save who?"

Asked by the woman, Alfred replied:

"A man named Merlin, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, has a thin body and an abnormally pale face. He is currently being hunted down by a group of dangerous people, so there is not much time left for you."

"Time is not an issue, but you have given too little information."

The woman hiding in the shadows flicked her long black hair and said softly:

"And I'm on vacation now, so I don't really want to take jobs."

"$50 million."

Alfred casually quoted a price:

"I don't need you to take him somewhere. There have been too many people paying attention to my side recently. I just need you to save him and ensure his safety."

"Well, don't answer, this kind of bodyguard job is the most troublesome."

The impatient woman refused in a bad tone, and was about to hang up the phone, but the old Ah Fu on the other side of the phone quoted another price:

"Then let's increase the price by... 500 million."

"Okay! Wait a minute, I'm leaving now!"

The woman reported a bank account neatly, without any annoyance from a second ago, she quickly hung up the phone and began to organize her equipment.

But before she could put on her combat clothes, a phone call came from the bank, and her personal financial manager told her that two minutes ago, her poor account had an extra million dollars. .

Well, that's a down payment in advance.

Such a cheerful customer makes the mercenary who is on vacation extremely happy.

While humming, she picked up a heavy black samurai sword, and then flicked her smooth long hair. While waving her fingers, a crimson energy blade appeared on her fingers, and then Then disappear.

The female mercenary in the extremely exaggerated and revealing black combat uniform took a step forward, took off a black windbreaker from the hanger, and quickly stepped on the spiral staircase leading to the rooftop with two long legs.

A moment later, with the sound of a helicopter taking off, she drove her cool vehicle, left her mansion in Las Vegas, and sped all the way in the direction of Oakland.

Fortunately, the straight-line distance between these two places is actually not far away.

The heroic female mercenary leaned on the driver's seat, she looked at the sky under the night sky, and she was thinking about what to buy after getting all the 500 million dollars.Even though she already had 100 million, she earned that guy's life or death, but in the business of working hard for money, reputation is still very important.

Besides, the guy who can throw 100 to save people without blinking his eyes is definitely not a guy to mess with.

In this kind of matter, the cost of breach of contract is indeed a bit high.

"Well, Golden Merlin worth 500 million, hold on for another hour and a half, and my sister will come to save you..."

---------------

"boom"

The wall in front of Merlin suddenly exploded and was pierced by the deadly bullet. The masonry of the wall was completely shattered, and the exploding fragments smashed onto Merlin's face and body, causing him to run forward. A stagger.

He didn't dare to look back, but jumped forward suddenly, hiding behind the wall at the corner of the dark alley.

He leaned against the wall, panting.

The chasing and killing between him and the deadly killer behind him has lasted for a long time. The two of them moved all the way from the block that had become a battlefield, and now they are far away from the block just now.

Merlin could almost see the road and woods leading to the outskirts of the city.

When the shot came just now, under the warning of the dark perception, Merlin opened his body to the outside without time.Otherwise, it would not be the wall that exploded just now, but his heart.

The man who was chasing him was the same assailant who had killed the Howards, the assailant with a metal arm.

That guy's life activities are very strange, his vitality is extremely tenacious, but his thinking activities are almost non-existent. Once he experiences this characteristic, he will never forget it.

Here he is again.

After failing to kill Merlin last time and being seriously injured by Merlin's counterattack, he appeared on the battlefield with Merlin again.

But this time, it was very difficult for Merlin, who had found out all his cards, to overshadow him.

He pulled out the clip of the rifle in his hand and looked at it. There were probably only a few bullets left.After the bullets ran out, Merlin couldn't use long-range means to fight back, which meant that he would have a head-on confrontation with the super killer behind him.

With his fighting method of only swinging eight punches, there is no hope of winning at all.

"boom"

Another shot, the bullet followed the bullet hole just now, tore a gap in the corner of the thick wall, and almost flew past Merlin's shoulder.

This made Merlin change his position immediately.

He knew that the super killer behind him was probably equipped with an infrared detector or something else.The shielding effect of the shadow cloak cannot be hidden from him.

I can only grit my teeth and give it a try.

If he could be caught off guard with the black mist storm like last time, there might be hope.

Merlin made up his mind. He held the rifle in both hands. In the interval after Super Killer fired for the third time, Merlin suddenly jumped out of his hiding place. Under the effect of darkness perception, the muzzle of the gun in his hand aimed at the winter day behind him. Warrior, Merlin pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Two bullets landed on the low wall where the Winter Soldier was hiding, and the last shot hit the Winter Soldier's arm. The dust and sparks splashed in the dark made the Winter Soldier quickly lower his body and use a tactical evasion posture. Hide behind a low wall.

His equally developed perception could hear Merlin's footsteps, and Merlin must have planned to rush to him while he was being suppressed.This kid is planning to repeat the same trick, using that dangerous explosion of dark magic power to injure him again.

But the Winter Soldier didn't dodge. On the contrary, he took out a round grenade from the ammunition box behind his waist.

Just when Merlin was only 15 meters away from the Winter Soldier, a chubby thing was suddenly thrown out from behind the low wall where the Winter Soldier was hiding, bounced twice on the ground, and just hit Merlin's feet.

This thing is a little different from common grenades.

Its shell was silver-white, and after being activated and hit the ground, it didn't explode immediately. On the contrary, wisps of strange orange light emanated from the inside of the round grenade.

It's beautiful at first glance, like an orange sunbeam.

And with the passage of a second, the orange light inside the shell became more and more intense, and it could no longer give people a warm feeling. Instead, it was extremely dangerous.

Like a small sun about to explode.

Merlin didn't retreat because of this, he jumped over the grenade on the ground, he needed this kind of dangerous stimulation to trigger the riot of the black mist, so as to solve the killing situation in front of him.

The second after he stopped, behind him, the orange light was like a flowing flame, with the center where the ball fell as the center, it exploded in all directions.

Merlin's body was slapped by the scorching flames, and at this moment it suddenly dissipated into a chaotic black mist. In the flash of the orange flame storm, with a posture of spreading its teeth and claws, drowning everything, it rushed towards the hiding place of the Winter Soldier .

But the Winter Soldier didn't dodge, on the contrary, he just stood up defenseless.

He stood behind the low wall, looking at the billowing black smoke rushing towards him in front of him, his indifferent, scarred face seemed to be full of sarcasm and ridicule.

This made Merlin feel that something was wrong.

But there was no time left for him to regret, Merlin tried his best to disperse the black mist and rushed towards the Winter Soldier.

But behind him, when the bursting orange flame covered a distance of 10 meters around, it seemed to have touched an invisible boundary. Pulled by a more terrifying force, it suddenly retracted.

It was like an invisible spot of light that swelled to the extreme and then closed again. In the second stage of this special explosive reaction, the pulling force generated was even several times stronger than the impact force of the explosion.

Merlin could feel that the black mist he had incarnated was thrown into a storm that pulled back.As long as his black mist crosses a distance of less than 1 meter, he can touch the body of the Winter Soldier, but he can't!

It was like a black hole devouring everything opened up behind him. With Merlin's roar, all the black mist, the billowing smoke was dragged and drifted backwards.

The orange flame gathered back to the origin of the explosion within a second, and gathered all the broken things within 10 meters together to form a strange ball of stone fragments, which hit the ground and sent out a blast. heavy noise,

And Merlin, who had exhausted his power, was forcibly separated from the smoke form, and changed back into a human form.

He fell to the ground, he was tired.

I have never been so tired after transforming like this time.It's like having all your energy drained.

His last hole card was broken, and there was nothing he could do.

In this weird world, not only magic means can restrain Merlin's magic power explosion, as long as the right method is used, the power of technology can also easily break it.

The Winter Soldier walked up to Merlin, raised the sniper rifle in his hand, and slammed it hard on Merlin's head with the heavy and hard butt, causing Merlin's eyes to go black from this blow.

But it wasn't over yet, the Winter Soldier retrieved his lost fighting knife from Merlin's boot.

With a flick of his hand, a round metal piece was thrown on Merlin's body, and the throbbing blue electric current frantically jumped back and forth on Merlin's body, and within a few seconds, the young man was thrown into in a coma.

After all this, the Winter Soldier stretched out his hand, took out the thermos from the unconscious Merlin's pocket, carried Merlin on his shoulders, and turned to walk into the night.

Mission accomplished.

He wants to bring this supernatural product back to his organization, and maybe Merlin will become his "companion" in a short time.

Merlin has a lot of potential, he's just not willing to fully embrace the darkness to gain power.But in that organization, individual will is not important at all. They have countless ways to twist Merlin's mind and brainwash him into the deadliest warrior.

Just like...the Winter Soldier now.

Once upon a time, he was also a hero.

However, at the moment when the Winter Soldier was carrying Merlin on his back and was about to call for support on the return journey, behind him, a brilliant crimson energy knife suddenly cut through the darkness, just like the sun at dawn, with a gesture of cutting off everything, Howling, he slashed at the Winter Soldier's back.

The super killer had a premonition of the crisis, he jumped forward and escaped the sneak attack.

But Merlin, who was carried on his shoulders, rolled and fell to the ground on one side.

The Winter Soldier rolled on the ground, aiming the muzzle of the gun at the attacker behind him, but before he could pull the trigger, a white knife slashed head-on, easily cutting the raised rifle of the Winter Soldier into pieces. two paragraphs.

"Swish"

The collision of the steel being severed made the figure of the knife holder in front of him stagnate for a moment, and also gave the Winter Soldier a chance to fight back.

He swung his hands, and two black fighting knives appeared in his palms. Facing the enemy in front of him who was wielding a samurai sword, dressed in black leather, and dressed like a female ninja, he went up without fear.

"Clang, clang, clang"

The two of them didn't say a word, the samurai swords and fighting swords accompanied their battle, constantly parrying in the air, the crisp sound of weapons colliding spread far and wide in the night, like a light song.

This sudden appearance of a warrior woman is tricky, but the Winter Soldier is not a vegetarian.

As a war machine carefully cultivated by the former Soviet Union, after he really let go, with two short knives and his own metal arms that can continuously charge, coupled with rich combat experience and a ferocious offensive like a beast, he fought well. The attacking female mercenary retreated steadily.

"not bad!"

The woman flicked her long hair, held a knife in one hand, and blocked a surprise attack from the Winter Soldier.

The fingers of her other free hand were folded together, the crimson energy dissipated quickly, and as she swung her wrist, a long whip made of energy whizzed and flung it on the Winter Soldier's left leg, before the woman's arm swung again In the middle, the Winter Soldier was pulled up from the ground, and then thrown to the ground behind him.

"boom"

The Winter Soldier spun a few times in the air, and was smashed to the ground like a war hammer.

But after he landed, he waved his right arm.After the mechanism of the mechanical arm was activated, the power far beyond ordinary people slammed on the energy whip of the female warrior, breaking the energy-condensed long whip from the center.

The female mercenary took a few steps back. She glanced at the Winter Soldier who had entered a fighting state in front of her, and then at Merlin who was lying on the ground beside her, not knowing whether she was alive or dead. She no longer planned to fight the Winter Soldier.

"He only paid me for saving people, but not for killing people."

The female mercenary snorted. She put away her katana, folded her hands together, and then spread it out suddenly. The crimson energy was like an endless rain of bullets, whistling towards the Winter Soldier.The latter's raised metal arm blocked the incoming energy arrow, but caused an explosion, knocking the Winter Soldier into the air again.

The Winter Soldier, who was repulsed twice in a row, quickly jumped up from the messy ground, but the female warrior and Merlin were no longer in front of his eyes.

More importantly, when the Winter Soldier twisted open the thermos in his hand, there was no super soldier serum in it at all...

That cunning Merlin must have hidden the serum in advance after sensing the danger.

"For Wakanda!"

Just as the Winter Soldier was about to chase the fleeing female mercenary, he heard a roar from behind, and amidst the howling wind, a vibrating golden spear came through the air.

Okna, a Wakanda female warrior holding a spear, was extremely embarrassed, and her vibrating gold armor protected her from serious injuries.But most of her face was almost destroyed in the helicopter crash explosion caused by the Winter Soldier.

The blood flowed from the wound, making this brave female warrior look like a ghost from hell.

But she's not alone in the trouble.

Jumping into the ground from the helicopter ahead of time, Fury, who was lucky enough to escape the explosion, wiped out the killers in that block, and is now leading more than 20 elite soldiers from the sky to hunt down the Winter Soldier.

The super killer must get rid of or kill these pursuers before he can continue to perform his mission.

Fall short.

That mysterious mercenary who disrupted the situation, really damn...
