Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 35 34. The End of the Samurai

"Swish"

The warm water continuously fell from the shower overhead, and Merlin stood in the water like a statue.

He let the running water wash away the sweat stains on his body, and Merlin's mood was very calm in the thick water vapor.

He had made up his mind, and those vacillating thoughts couldn't affect him anymore.

At least at this moment, he will no longer be swayed by other thoughts.

Merlin opened his eyes and took a step forward. He stretched out his hand and wiped the mirror wet in front of him.Looking at himself in the mirror, he seemed to have become a little strange.

He has indeed been through a lot, and growth and maturity are what they should be.

If those things in the past were not enough to make him mature, then it can only be said that he has lived in vain for the past two years.

Merlin picked up the razor and began to rest his face. After the beard was cleaned, he took off the blade and began to arrange his hair.

The short black hair fell into the water under his feet, followed by the movement of the water, and was washed into the sewer, like those things that have passed away, they can only be used as memory, but cannot be saved.

A few minutes later, Merlin walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.

On the sofa in the room, Lingdie, who had already put on a black windbreaker, heard the sound and turned her head.The powerful and fierce mercenary saw his employer, saw his new image.

Outside of the bath towel, although the muscles on Merlin's shoulders and chest were not exaggerated, the body modification brought about by the super soldier serum still made him look strangely fit.

A slender body, paired with those slightly bewitching eyes, and well-groomed, very energetic short hair, and finally the gloomy temperament brought about by that dark experience.

These collocations together make the real Merlin a little bit amazing at the first glance.

A hint of surprise and admiration flashed in Lingdie's eyes, she stretched out her hand, grabbed the clothes she just bought on the sofa, and threw them to Merlin.

The latter took it in his hands, turned his back, and began to put on his clothes.

He didn't deliberately hide from Lingdie, that experienced and powerful mercenary didn't seem to care about these red tapes.

Spirit Butterfly, who has completed her combat attire, wears combat arm gloves on her hands and a samurai sword on her back. She is wearing a black leather jacket that is easy to move around, but it always feels a bit revealing. The large windbreaker covers her body, accompanied by black hair The fluttering strand of purple hair made her look unexpectedly free and easy.

She folded her arms, looked at Merlin, and said in a businesslike tone:

"I sensed the Winter Soldier's hiding place. He should be entangled with that female warrior with a spear. That female warrior should not be the opponent of the Winter Soldier. But I want to warn you, Merlin, I will not fight for you , because you have no money to hire me. I will only rescue you again when you are about to be beaten to death. Do you understand?"

"Ah."

Merlin nodded, put on the gray shirt, buttoned it up, and asked:

"Actually, I'm a little curious. Generally speaking, how much does it cost to hire an excellent fighter like you?"

"See what you need me to do."

As soon as money was mentioned, Lingdie's stern eyes immediately became lively, and she introduced to Merlin like every treasure:

"I'm the most powerful group of mercenaries, so the appearance fee is relatively high. For general security tasks, if you deal with ordinary gangsters, it costs 10 US dollars."

"If it's dealing with difficult enemies, militarized groups or some mutants like me, then 20."

"Rescue missions like today are also divided into grades, and the price is between 30 and 200 million."

"The last is the assassination mission. I need to take risks for this type of mission, so the price is higher. Of course, you can also hire me to do some other things..."

Lingdie put her left hand on her hip and stroked her hair with her right hand. She said in a relaxed tone:

"In addition to being a mercenary, I also work as a graphic model. If you ask me to walk the catwalk or do advertisements, it will be cheaper. If you ask me to endorse certain products, you can sign a contract or pay in installments. "

"Then what if I ask you out for a drink?"

After Merlin fastened the last button, he turned around and looked at Lingdie with a smile in his eyes:

"What if I want you to be my friend?"

"Oh, the price is even higher, Little Merlin."

Lingdie swayed, walked up to Merlin, stretched out her finger a little frivolously, and tapped on the tip of Merlin's nose, she said:

"Ten thousand a day... So, after you have money, let's be friends again."

"Well, I will contact you when the time comes."

Merlin took a step back, avoiding Lingdie's fingers.

He picked up a pair of black leather gloves from the side, looked at Lingdie, and asked with some surprise:

"Why did you buy this thing?"

The female mercenary snorted, turned around, waved her hand, and said indifferently:

"This is a little quirk of mine. Although it's a life-and-death business, I don't really like getting blood on my hands."

"Come on, I'll take you to the Winter Soldier."

She exhorted softly:

"I want to advise you, maybe you feel that you have a great advantage now, and you feel that you are fearless after becoming strong, but that is just an illusion. Listen to me... I don't know what ability you got, and what Killer, but against an assassin like the Winter Soldier, you'd better be prepared."

"I know."

Merlin put on black gloves and put a baseball cap on his head. He said:

"Someone told me that any miracle takes time. I will be patient enough."

"No, I mean..."

Lingdie looked back at him, and said in a strange tone:

"Mr. 500 million, if you have any valuable property, it is best to make a will in advance. Of course, I can also keep it for you."

"It's free."

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

In an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Oakland, the Winter Soldier hides in the dark.

On the ground in front of him, the Wakanda female warrior Okna was limping and dragging her spear, looking for the Winter Soldier.

The king's bodyguard's armor was stained with blood, most of it not hers.

In the chaotic battle last night, she almost single-handedly defeated the killers led by the Winter Soldier.Wakanda's unique vibrating gold armor makes her invulnerable, and can even resist small explosions head-on. Of course, the custom of not wearing a visor also made her suffer.

Most of the face of this leopard-like female warrior was burned by the flames, which must have hurt.

When Agent Fury's helicopter fell, Okna escaped the explosion, but her left leg was hit by flying debris.Although Zhenjin is protecting her, Zhenjin without special treatment still cannot absorb all the kinetic energy well.

After a night of tracking, she was very tired, but she was still able to fight, and the last culprit was not found, so she had to continue to fight.

This is the dignity of being a servant of the black panther. In her country, the king is the most powerful warrior and the protector of all the people, and is honored as the black panther.Only the bravest warriors are qualified to follow the invincible black panther.

If you can't complete the task given by the black panther, it will tarnish the glory of the warrior.

This was intolerable for the stubborn and arrogant Okna.

This tough young lady endured the sting on her cheek, and she looked at the abandoned factory in front of her. She followed the Winter Soldier all the way to this place, and this is the final battlefield.

"come out!"

Okna screamed:

"Don't hide like a mouse!"

"boom"

Okna swung her battle spear, and a blue energy arrow hit the box in front of her, sending sawdust flying.

"boom"

Something was thrown out of the darkness and landed at Okna's feet.It was a strange bomb that had been unlatched, and it was emitting a dangerous orange light at the foot of the female warrior.

"boom"

The next moment, the dazzling orange flames, like the rays of the sun, surged wildly in all directions.But outside of Okna's body, a layer of energy shield like a sound wave helped her block the rapid and dangerous explosion. She stood in the orange flames without any damage.

This female warrior holds a silver-gray metal bead in her palm. It is the crystallization of Wakanda's superb technology. It is self-defense equipment with multiple functions. shock and high temperature.

In the chaotic battle last night, Okna had already used 2 of these mechanical beads, and with this one added, Okna should still have 3 more in her hand.

This is also the reason why she dared to hunt down the Winter Soldier alone.

Wakanda warriors are not stupid, they are the best hunters, they are always ready before hunting.

But where Okna made a mistake was that the bomb thrown by the Winter Soldier was not an ordinary bomb. If she had seen how the Winter Soldier used the bomb to deal with Merlin, then she would definitely run away immediately instead of standing still.

"boom"

After the orange explosion flame swelled to the limit of 10 meters, another strange explosion sounded at the core of the flame, and a more strange and stronger attraction than the previous explosion tore Okna's body, pulling her Pull towards the core of the explosion.

Everything that was torn apart by the explosion on the surrounding ground, those twisted metal strips, and dangerous metal stubbles, all fell on Okna's body from all directions under the second explosion of the gravitational bomb, like a violent storm.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding"

Those metals smashed on her vibrating gold armor, causing her to move forward continuously, and some small stubbles scratched her neck and cheeks, making the female warrior drenched with blood.

"boom"

Okna raised her battle spear with both hands, pierced fiercely into the ground, using the battle spear as a fulcrum, and tried her best to maintain her fighting posture.

"bang"

The gravitational bomb gathered everything within 10 meters around into a metal ball made of twisted debris, and smashed to the ground with a bang.

The weird explosion finally stopped.

And before the female warrior of Wakanda had time to catch her breath, a figure rushed out from the darkness ahead.

The silent and fierce Winter Soldier brandished a black fighting knife with his left hand, and the moment Okna pulled out his spear, he threw himself at the female warrior's side.The sharp alloy saber ran along the gap of the vibrating gold armor, and pierced fiercely into the waist of the female warrior.

And his mechanical right arm, after fast charging, slammed into Okna's chest with a gesture of destroying everything.

"puff"

The female warrior who was raided spat out a mouthful of blood, and her whole body was rolled backwards by this blow, and hit the ground fiercely. He rushed towards Okna.

"Swish"

The vibrating gold spear aimed at the female warrior's head and stabbed it down. Another metal bead in Okna's hand opened up the sonic shield and blocked the Winter Soldier's first blow, but the super killer's second blow was The shield was broken.

The female warrior tried her best to deflect her body, avoiding the direct thrust of the spear, but the Winter Soldier turned his wrist, and the spear whizzed towards her. The neck guard was knocked off, and her neck was easily torn open by the sharp spear point.

Blood, blood spurted out.

In this final confrontation between the Samurai and the Winter Soldier, Okna lost.

The price of losing is death...

The Winter Soldier raised his left foot and kicked the female warrior in the chest, pinning her to the ground.

Okna was struggling, but her neck had been torn open and her struggle was getting weaker and weaker.He could only watch helplessly as the spear in Winter Soldier's hand pierced her eyes.

"I'm sorry...Your Majesty, I have made you...disgraced."

Okna was powerless.

"boom"

At the moment when the female warrior was completely desperate, at the moment when the sharp gold vibrating spear was about to fall, and at the moment when the killing intent in the eyes of the Winter Soldier reached its limit, a sudden dark storm rolled in the air like a heavy fist Like a train, it slammed into the body of the Winter Soldier who was about to commit murder.

The impact was so strong that the Winter Soldier was knocked flying, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground with a heavy sound.

The dark storm roared, lifting the unprepared Winter Soldier into the air, just like the night he and Merlin met for the first time, the storm like billowing black smoke mixed with sparks completely enveloped the Winter Soldier.

Seizing the opportunity, Merlin launched a fatal blow and didn't intend to hold back at all. He frantically poured his strength towards the enemy in front of him. After his body was strengthened by the serum, he could already take the initiative to transform into a black mist.

But today, he will completely bury this cold and dangerous killer in front of him in the billowing black smoke!

For the lives that died because of him, for the disasters caused by greed, for the countless sleepless nights of pain in the past.

"what!"

The black smoke that swirled like a knife ripped apart the Winter Soldier's clothes and armor, and pieces of flesh and blood were torn off, as if an invisible monster was gnawing at his body.

In the black smoke, Merlin's consciousness stared at the killer in front of him, the dark power in his body was boiling, like flowing magma.

Black mist incarnates the most powerful blow... magic explosion!

"Tear it"

Just before the magic power boiled to boiling, a dazzling blue spark burst out from the mechanical right arm of the Winter Soldier, and the super-strong electrode placed in it began to discharge rapidly, and the blue spark fluttered in the black smoke. It was like making a blue lightning bolt out of the black smoke.

"Snapped"

The black mist that had been subjected to a strong electric shock dissipated suddenly, throwing the entire Winter Soldier out.While flipping in the air, the bloody Winter Soldier gritted his teeth and waved his hand, an orange bomb was thrown into the sky, into the rolling black mist in the air.

He didn't give up!He's still trying to fight back!

But before the bomb exploded, Merlin's black mist dissipated quickly and extremely flexibly, and landed on the ground after a while, almost perfectly avoiding the 10-meter range of the gravitational bomb explosion.

He has suffered a loss once, and the same trick will not work against him a second time.

"boom"

Amidst the burst of orange flames above his head, Merlin shook his hands, allowing the strong numbness in his body to subside, and a trace of regret appeared in the pupils like burning ashes in his eyes.

The final blow of the magic explosion was terminated by the beating strong current.

It appears that the organization behind the Winter Soldier has added something new to his robotic arm since the previous encounter.The brief discharge just now was enough to kill an ordinary person in an instant, and that thing might be used to deal with him.

Before Merlin's eyes, the extremely miserable Winter Soldier got up from the ground.Except for his mechanical right arm, there is almost no good flesh in his whole body, like a bloody monster.

Under the blood-stained hair, the Winter Soldier's gray eyes stared at Merlin in front of him. He didn't seem to feel the pain, and it seemed that he suppressed the pain with his own will.

His hands moved, and two black fighting knives appeared in his hands.

Merlin also spread out his gloved hands, and the flesh and blood on his arms turned into billowing black smoke.

The next moment, the two charged almost simultaneously.

No dialogue, no yelling, no running away.

they are going to be here...

Thoroughly, settle the grievances!
