I’m just a Superman - Chapter 7
[Chapter 7: You’d better die]
In the distance, X cut off the communication between him and Cross, but he couldn’t stop Cross from seeing what was going on in the central building using the scope on his sniper rifle.
Although the viewing angle and field of view were so poor that he had no chance to shoot at all, it also allowed him to roughly understand that X had been planted, in the hands of someone he did not know.
Recalling the clothes of Li Wei he saw that day in his mind, Cross frowned: “It seems that he is really that man? An assassin who is outside the Brotherhood and can defeat X… Do you want to try to win him over… .”
But after a little silence, Cross gave up the idea again.
“Wesley, I need to protect Wesley secretly, make sure he won’t be taken away by Sloan and the others, I hope X’s experience won’t make them jump over the wall.”
…
After paying the taxi fare, X brought Li Wei to a stop in front of a wooden house outside Chicago: “This is it.”
“Here?” Li Wei looked at the cabin in front of him that felt like a gust of wind could collapse, his eyes were a little strange: “You are an assassin, a safe house is this kind of dangerous house that may collapse at any time?”
“It’s just a disguise from the outside.” X looked indifferent, and stepped forward to open the door. With the airflow, a burst of dust rose up. Although it was choking, there was no such thing as the smell of decaying wood.
“Is this also a disguise?”
“That’s right.” X nodded, walked to the fireplace, pulled the wall lamp above, the slate was lifted, and in a soft light, the hidden small weapon arsenal was displayed in front of the two of them.
Looking at the arsenal of weapons ranging from grenade pistols to shotgun assault rifles, Li Wei’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Guns are a deadly temptation for most men, especially for people like Li Wei who grew up in a peaceful country and have never seen a real gun.
But ecstasy returned to ecstasy. Adhering to the idea of ‘the more happy you are, the less you can’t take it lightly’, Li Wei never took away the palm behind X’s neck.
How many times has he shown his flaws because of his pride and joy when he was close to his goal, and then it fell short.
Although the reality is different from the game, some spirits and concepts can still be shared. Li Wei has rolled over many times in the game, and he does not want to repeat the same mistakes in reality.
Seeing that even though Li Wei’s face was full of joy, he did not relax his control over himself, and the look in X’s eyes became more and more restrained.
There are also different types of assassins. Compared with the assassins in the Brotherhood who are good at cold weapons, X is more handy in the use of firearms. If he doesn’t grab it, his ability will be weakened a lot.
Along the way, he was looking for an opportunity to escape from Livy’s control, and killing or severely wounding Livy was his only option.
X is not sure what kind of creature Li Wei is, but recalling Li Wei’s previous actions of dodging bullets, he thinks bullets should be Li Wei’s weakness, and high explosives like grenades have a chance to kill Li Wei dimension.
And if he wants to get this kind of lethal item, X can only think of his own safe house. As long as Li Wei relaxes his guard, he will have the opportunity to complete the counter-kill.
But before he has full confidence, he must completely conceal his thoughts and not reveal the slightest flaw.
Reaching out his hand to stroke the sound of gunshots full of metal texture, Li Wei couldn’t help showing a hint of admiration in his eyes. With a slight movement of his fingers, he grabbed a seemingly unpretentious modified pistol in his hand.
The arm stretched back and forth a bit, and the powerful instantaneous acceleration allowed Li Wei to complete the one-handed loading action and opened the insurance. Li Wei seconds a paper target a few meters away and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
boom!
The bright sound of gunfire echoed in the narrow wooden house, bearing a strong recoil that did not match the appearance of a pistol,
Li Wei’s arm did not move at all, as if the shot just now was not fired by him.
“It feels good.” After turning off the insurance, Li Wei put the pistol back as if nothing happened, and glanced at the target paper that was hit by the tenth ring in the distance: “Have you adjusted these guns?”
X nodded: “The aiming of all guns here has been calibrated, and there is almost no error in the case of no interference.”
“What about shooting outside?”
“A qualified assassin should be able to quickly judge changes in the environment and adjust the timing of shooting. This is a basic skill.”
“Then what are you aiming for?”
“Help us determine the loss of the rifling in the later maintenance. If there is a large deviation, it means that a gun needs to be replaced.”
“So it is.” Li Wei looked suddenly realized, and then suddenly asked: “Are you free here?”
“Blank bullets?” X’s heart suddenly burst, but he shook his head nonchalantly and said: “Blank bullets have no practical significance, who would prepare such bullets.”
“That’s really a pity.” Li Wei looked at X with a trace of regret on his face: “I dare not let you teach me to shoot with a live ammunition gun, if there is no blank ammunition, the learning plan may have to be terminated. ”
As he spoke, Li Wei’s five fingers gradually tightened, and the fatal crisis reminder made X’s hair stand upright, and he shouted: “Wait, I know there is a place to get blank ammunition!”
As soon as Li Wei heard this, the movements in his hands immediately stopped: “Really?”
“Really.” In a desperate situation, a fine cold sweat broke out on X’s forehead, and he kept saying what he knew: “Continental Hotel, Continental Hotel provides special services, and there are previews in it. Blank ammunition with no actual lethality.”
“Continental Hotel?”
Another unheard word popped up, and Li Wei was intrigued: “Tell me about this mainland hotel carefully.”
“The Continental Hotel is an organization dedicated to providing services to killers, taking orders from the High Table (High Table)…”
“Wait wait, why is there another high table?” Seeing X’s effort to pull out another high table, Li Wei’s clothes looked like a question mark face: “What is the high table?”
X choked for a while, and after organizing the language, he said: “No one knows exactly what the high table is, only that the high table has 12 seats and controls the operation of all mainland hotels in the world.”
“The composition of the High Table is very complicated. It can be roughly regarded as the union of the killer organizations in the whole world. Therefore, the Continental Hotel to which it belongs has extremely terrifying power.”
“How does it compare to that brotherhood of yours?”
“…”
X couldn’t help but be silent for a while, his voice a little sullen: “The power of the High Table should be stronger than that of the Brotherhood.”
“Then why are you staying in the Brotherhood instead of joining the Continental Hotel.”
“Assassins should have faith, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Those killers who only have money in their eyes are the scum of this world!”
“…”
This time, it was Li Wei’s turn to be a little speechless: “You are a guy who kills without blinking an eye, how dare you say that the killer is scum?”
“The Brotherhood has been passed down for more than a thousand years. Everything it does is to maintain the order of the world, and those killers will only destroy the order we established.”
“Okay.” Li Wei didn’t want to discuss with him about beliefs or beliefs, and changed the topic to the right track again: “This Continental Hotel, Chicago has it?”
“Continental hotels are located in major cities around the world. Chicago is the second largest city in the United States, and naturally there are. But spending there is not about money.”
“Don’t want money? What do you want? Points?”
“No.” X shook his head: “What they recognize is a gold coin issued by the Casablanca Mint. Only with gold coins can you get the services of the Continental Hotel.”
“It’s nice to say, it’s tens of millions of dollars, is it possible that some people won’t sell it?”
“The Continental Hotel will not allow it.” X continued: “The stable source of gold coins is the task of the Continental Hotel. If you can exchange money for gold coins, it will weaken the Continental Hotel’s control over the killer.”
“In order to maintain control over the killer, the High Table will not allow coins to be exchanged for money…”
“So you said so much, just want to tell me, you have money, but no gold coins?”
“I had gold coins, but they were in New York.”
“…that New York more than a thousand kilometers away?”
“That’s right.”
Thinking of the troubled New York he learned from his roommate, Li Wei sighed: “Forget it, you should die.”
“and many more!”
