Chapter 41
"Huh...huh..."
A deep breathing sounded in the corner of the dark room, and Kevin held a handful in his left hand. Bullet pistol, there is a dagger in the right hand, the black one, the red cloth wrapped around, the black short blade that is longer than the dagger, yes, it once belonged to Thompson.
It's a pity that its owner has long been lying in a seabed on the coast of Gotham.
Recently in the past few days, Kevin and Cyber have talked twice. Although he doesn’t like the bastard who smiles when he kills, he has to admit that if he doesn’t plan to leave Gotham, Then he and Ed must find a strong backer for themselves.
Originally, he was still hesitating, but after the Arkham's incident, he made up his mind. He knew who the man wearing the dark red Battle Armor was. He was probably the only insider in the city. , And what this truth brought him was a faint hope. Although it was so vague that it was nowhere to be found, at least it could bring him a trace of comfort in this cold and dark night.
He is just a nobody. If it weren’t for his father who had worked for the League of Shadows, he wouldn’t have even the slightest contact with this organization, but the problem lies here. His father was seriously ill. For a while, he urgently needed a lot of money to save his father, and at that time, the League of Shadows appeared.
For a 17-year-old youngster, does he have a choice?
No... Destiny never gave him enough choices. After father finally passed away, Kevin could only take one step under the impetus of fate. He was a feel like many youngsters. People at home wherever one is, at his age, it is normal to have this kind of thinking. In fact, as Outer Members, they don't have too many and troublesome things to deal with.
Youngster turned his head from side to side, looking nervously at his surroundings. He was always worried that a bunch of killers in black armor would suddenly emerge from the dark corner. This worry has continued. For a whole day, because he saw the sign representing "assembly" in the corner of this street.
They are here!
Kevin put the short blade in his hand on the table, he shivered and lit a cigarette for himself. He never smoked these things before, but now, he needs a little bauble to release the pressure .
He turned his head and looked towards the clock on the wall. Ed has been out for 15 minutes. It is normal to spend this time on buying a meal, but there is another possibility that something happened to him!
Thinking of this, Kevin reached out and pressed the cigarette in his mouth fiercely on the ash-covered table, and threw it in the ashtray that was already full of cigarette butts. He picked up the phone and gritted his teeth. , Sent a text message.
"They are here!"
Recipient: Cyber · Hawk.
After pressing the send button, Kevin seemed to have lost his strength. He fell on the sofa, and his mind was in a mess.
He worked for the League of Shadows for 4 years. What he did the most was to collect the latest intelligence in various areas of Gotham's. He didn't even encounter a situation where he needed to take up a weapon. But thanks to him The father cultivated him since he was a child, and Kevin is not the kind of youngster who has no power to restrain him.
Especially in the two years since Crane came to Gotham's, no one in the entire narrow island dared to provoke the members of the lunatic asylum. Youngster even felt that this kind of life was great. After all, he was only 21 years old and still in a fantasy At his age, if there were no accidents, he would continue to live like this until he turned himself into a "narrow islander" through and through.
Not enterprising, brave enough to fight hard, have a kind of unexplainable hostility to all outsiders, engage in some not so serious work, and party with those strippers to the destiny every day, in the bestial four Yi burst into search for that shallow "happiness", and then died in a gang fight or a robbery.
This is their life. Ra's · El · Gul is right in one sentence. This city, at least on the narrow island, is hopeless here. When life completely loses hope, Humanity will degenerate to a level that we can never imagine, rolling in the dark mud, never imagining the bright rays of light. Although it is still a person, it is no longer a person.
A walking corpse that lives only to live.
But fortunately or unfortunately, he met Cyber. When his only good friend Ed was thrown into the sea three times, and only his confession could save him, he was also tied up. When he was thrown into the ocean, when he realized that he could save him by himself, when he tried everything hard to cut the rope, the deepest suffering and fear in Kevin's heart regained him from that dangerous situation. Wake up in life.
It was cruel. Even now, Ed would be scared when he sees the water, and Kevin replaced all the clocks in the house with that old style. He was scared to see the beating numbers. , That night was almost hell-like torture for two a nobody.
Cyber destroyed the lives of two a nobody in a rude and unreasonable way, but this destruction is essentially a kind of salvation. When you realize that there is a more fierce and terrifying existence around you At that time, most people’s reaction is to stay away from those dangerous people and live their lives cautiously.
Kevin is the same, but his trouble with Ed is that he knows how the League of Shadows deals with traitors. He still remembers every time his father and those appear and disappear unpredictably when he was a child. After talking, he would sit in the dark and smoke silently. At that time, he could not understand father’s worries, but now, when the heavy pressure was on his shoulders, he suddenly understood, father That kind of worry is fear!
Although Cyber has repeatedly emphasized that he will not betray them, what happened that night is nothing to hide from the caring people. Why did Thompson go out with them, but only returned 2 of them? If Cyber killed Thompson, why did he let them go?
Sometimes, killing does not require a definite reason. For deterrence, maintenance, or even a bad mood, it will become the reason for the death of the weak.
Cyber is a complete bastard, but at least he is right in saying that he cannot put his future on the kindness of others, especially when facing a group of people who are fundamentally impossible and kind.
"ding dong"
The doorbell that suddenly remembered wakes up Kevin from his random thoughts. He jumped up from the bed, copied the dagger in his left hand, and took a deep breath with the pistol in his right hand. Once, force yourself to calm down. He moved slowly in the dark, leaning against the wall and walking behind the door, he lowered his voice.
"Who?"
"Open the door, it's me, Ed!"
Kevin relaxed, he was about to open the door, and Ed suddenly Then he said, "Open the door, Kevin, today's pizza is great, I'm drooling."
The youngster's extended hand stopped in this brief moment.
It's obviously not pizza that Ed went to buy! He is warning him this way!
There was a flash of fear in his eyes, and his shoulders began to tremble, but he still suppressed the surging fear forcibly, and replied in a low voice, "Wait, I am wearing pants. "
He could feel his tongue hitting his teeth, he lay silently on the ground, glanced out from the door, three pairs of feet.
Damn it! Damn it! !
Kevin knows he can’t panic right now, he patted it, made a walking motion, then took a deep breath, adjusted the direction of the muzzle in his hand at the door, and dazzled it. It is the position of one of the people’s head, and then twist the door lock, when the lock is twisted to the deepest point...
"Get down! Ed!"
"peng
The bullet passed through the fragile wooden door and hit a League of Shadows soldier who was caught off guard. It hit him in the chest. The hapless guy was pushed back two steps, and then fell off the steps. After going down, the collision between the gun in his hand and the ground caused a series of noises.
At the next moment when the gun was fired, the wooden door burst open suddenly, and the remaining man kicked the front of the wooden door and kicked Kevin flying with the gun in both hands. It was a visor with a visor. , A tall opponent wearing a black combat uniform, he was like a predator Beast, moved towards Kevin, who fell to the ground, rushed over.
Trained killers and youngsters who have only received simple training, no matter in fighting skills, weapons and equipment, or even mental will, they all occupy a complete advantage. Kevin just took aim, he was kicked. Kicked the pistol away, the guy who couldn't see his face touched his belt, and a dagger appeared in his hand.
Holding the dagger back, he looked at Kevin, who climbed up from the ground with his arms. This guy moved his arms. The eyes under the combat visor showed undisguised killing intent. ,
"Traitor!"
"I am not!"
Kevin yelled, grabbing the black short blade with his left hand, shaking his whole body Standing opposite him, he almost collapsed. The super sensory blessing brought by the burst of adrenaline made him breathe hurriedly, while the black clothed man on the opposite side was like a cat teasing a mouse. In the circle, from time to time to kick the debris on the ground.
He could see that the kid in front of him was a courageous imp. Only in this way, he could destroy his will little by little. His teammates were overcast, but he was wearing bulletproof vests. It should be just a minor injury, he will be back soon, thinking of this, a grinning smile appeared on his face under the visor.
"On the day you betrayed, you should have guessed the result."
"peng"
Two people collided together, and Kevin held it. His short blade flew out in an instant. He was hit by the person in front of him 7 times within 3 seconds. The last punch almost smashed him out, his mouth full of blood, and he fell to the ground. , Embarrassed to the extreme
The guy seemed to have finished his activity. He shrugged his arms and drew a pistol from his waist.
"Goodbye, traitor!"
"peng"
The hot bullet missed, Kevin shook his head, and saw two arms rushing out from behind the big man. Ed, who lost one's head out of fear, turned red. Face, threw the big man to the ground with all his strength, he tried hard to restrain the big man, he screamed.
"Run! Kevin, run!"
The blood of youngster in this brief moment covered his eyes, and Ed's scream seemed to awaken the switch in his mind , He ran away, but when he rushed to the door, he saw the mask thrown aside by the big man, he suddenly remembered Cyber's funny monkey mask.
"Faced with a mad dog who wants to bite you, it’s useless no matter how you run away. The moment you turned, the dog knew that you were afraid of it, and it would chase you. Until it satisfies the arrogant thoughts in it."
"Do you know how to deal with a mad dog?"
"You have to lift the stick in your hand and moved towards it Fiercely’s head, fiercely hits a stick, as long as you hit hard enough and make it hurt enough, it will whimper and run away with its tail sandwiched between it. It will be afraid of you, and this fear will stay in its heart, next time it Seeing you, even if you don't have a stick in your hand, it will walk around you, understand?"
What Cyber has said rolled in his mind, and he turned his head back.
"peng"
A gunshot sounded and Kevin's body covered in blood stopped at this brief moment. He saw Ed and his good brother fell on the ground, his chest It was a large patch of blood, and he looked back at Kevin with difficulty.
"Run...Don't stay..."
The sound finally died. At this moment, a string called sanity broke in Kevin's head. He He picked up the chair next to him, screamed and rushed to the big guy who just got up. He slammed his head right away. He grabbed the dagger that was lying on the ground, and pierced the man’s chest with one blade after another. His eyes are red.
It's not blood...It's tears.
"Ah ah ah!"
What's wrong with a nobody? Does a nobody have the right to live? !
Five minutes later, Kevin walked out of the house, covered in blood and despaired. He went downstairs, like a walking corpse. He saw the killer who was breathing hard on the stairs. Not dead, but the injured guy also saw him, Kevin shook the head, walked past him, raised the gun in his hand and held it against his head.
