Overturned Tower

However, at the next moment, those four people were suddenly forced to appear.

All of their prosthetic bodies were overheated and unresponsive, emitting smoke visible to the naked eye.

It's a delphinium!

She brute-forced and hacked their prosthetics, holding them in place!

Russell was ecstatic.

It turns out that the support of teammates is really useful!

It's like a player who has been used to solo queuing alone for a long time, and it's the first time to duo with a reliable and tacit teammate... He was moved to tears.

"The bad guy has come in from the top floor! He is looking for you down, and he will arrive in about 3 minutes! You hide yourself first!"

Those who raised their pistols were already unable to move.

And the delphinium's voice was rapidly resounding from the stereo in all directions.

"But does this mean that the other side can find me too!"

Russell complained.

Delphinium immediately said: "Unless they have been watching the surveillance, but the employees in the surveillance room are playing games... This group of people is not the same as the hive!"

"—then I know where to go!"

It's the bathroom!

Easy to hide, not easy to hunt, easy to fight back, and can escape through the ventilation duct!

With Russell's jumping power, he can jump directly to the ceiling without using a ladder!

So Russell opened the door—

"boom!"

With a crisp sound.

The person standing quietly outside the door held the whiskey bottle and slammed it on Russell's head!

Russell was suddenly dizzy, and staggered back two steps.Blood slowly trickled down from the corner of his eyes.

He clutched his forehead, and could only vaguely see a broad shoulder.

"Oh, I know you. It's our newest hero boy..."

Under the mask of the smiling face, there is a gentle and reassuring...honest and deep voice:

"Russell...isn't it?"

Chapter 34 Because You Are Good People

Russell was panting fiercely, feeling the dizziness in his head getting stronger... even a little unsteady.

He reached out to support the table, but accidentally knocked the beer tower to the ground.

When the top beer fell to the ground, the liquor sprayed out and scattered all over the floor.

But standing at the door, the elegant and calm middle-aged man closed the door casually and locked the room.His left hand is behind his back, and his right hand is holding a sharp broken wine bottle, like holding a dagger.

Russell's blurred vision gradually became clear.

He looked intently and finally saw the appearance of the person in front of him clearly.

Standing in front of Russell was the bartender he had seen when he was asking directions at the front desk.

Delphinium mentioned before that the bodyguards of Xiao Liuli are not the same as the Hive Nightclub.And they didn't catch Russell's existence from surveillance...

"... Was it at that time?"

Russell clutched his wound and said in a low voice: "This is a trap, isn't it. It's been from the beginning..."

He still felt a strong sense of dizziness.Let alone fight back in this state... I am afraid that if you try to escape, you will fall to the ground while running.

It is necessary to rely on the conversation to distract the other party's attention and buy a little time.

Even if it is not to wait for the rescue of the inferior, at least it must be able to escape.

"more or less."

The bartender just stood at the door holding a broken wine bottle.

Wearing a smiling face mask, his deep and magnetic voice was extremely relaxed: "You guessed it."

He obviously didn't intend to kill himself directly.

Russell looked at the bartender's behavior and judged his behavior pattern - he was waiting for the bodyguards who had been down for a short time to return to normal after the delphinium overheated prosthetic body!

In order to prevent being killed by Russell, he didn't even get close to Russell.

Instead, he kept his distance, holding the broken wine bottle and blocking the doorknob with his body.

If Russell tried to rush over, he would not hesitate to stick the sharp broken wine bottle in his hand on himself.

Russell realized something.

——Are they planning to catch as many people as possible?

That's why it was a heavy blow to the back of the head in the first place.

Because this is where the chip is embedded, it is a weak point for anyone - at least it is absolutely impossible to be wrapped by a protective prosthetic body here.

In order to buy time, Russell tried his best to use his brain to think: "You are actually not protecting Xiao Liuli, but monitoring Xiao Liuli... right.

"For example, today, you actually made Xiao Liuli wait here on purpose..."

"So, what are we going to do?"

The voice under the bartender's mask was calm and gentle.

He seemed to be purely curious, and seemed to have seen through Russell's strategy of delaying time, and delayed with him—after all, time was on his side now.

"It's for fishing."

Russell replied without hesitation: "It's just to catch me."

Now that you know the answer, it's easy to reverse the process...

"At first, I thought that little Liuli was shy when she heard my voice, that's why she was so excited.

"But when I think about it carefully, my social circle and hers don't overlap at all. She should be stunned at most, but it won't be that intense."

Russell leaned on the table and replied in a low voice: "The answer is very simple...she was surprised by the fact that 'the person who opened the door turned out to be me'."

As he spoke, he scanned the bodyguards.

Their overheated and smoking prosthesis gradually dissipated the smoke at a speed visible to the naked eye.Apparently the state of control is being lifted.

...Speaking of which.After the bartender came in, Delphinium's voice seemed to stop abruptly.

Is some kind of portable disconnect device activated?

That should be what the bartender is hiding behind his left hand.

So Russell continued: "Then, why was she so surprised when she saw me? Why are there four 'bodyguards' with invisible prosthetic bodies and live ammunition in this small room?

"Obviously, the person you are waiting for...is a specific enemy that can only be dealt with with a sneak attack with weapons."

"Then who are we waiting for?"

The bartender's voice remained composed.

Obviously, Russell's deduction here is not what he expected.

So Russell throws out a big news——

"—the inferior one, right?"

He replied in a low voice: "From the very beginning, this has been a conspiracy against the inferior."

After a brief silence, the bartender sighed: "Sure enough, you are not the executive officer of Tianen Group, but the agent of the Special Executive Department. Right."

It turns out that the staff of the Special Operations Department are called agents...

Russell, who had just found out what his profession was called, could not help but secretly groaned in his heart.

When did the tradition of accidents in novice missions start?

Fire ○ ninja?

"You just said, 'Executive Officer of Tianen Group', right?"

Russell continued to try to buy time while he was distracted by the means of escape.

He pretended to be a detective with a desire to tell, and confidently said that he had no evidence at all and was only speculative: "You are not a member of the group. It is even completely opposite to the group's position... from the very beginning From the perspective of the inferior, you should be the survivors of a certain organization that he wiped out, or the clearers of a certain big boss before he launched a big operation.

"Then I think, Xiao Liuli should be your spy who broke into the group from the very beginning. It should be her personal opinion to hire you as personal bodyguards, so as to break into the Tianen newspaper... The specific purpose, I think it may be It is convenient to collect intelligence and control the direction of public opinion.

"Xiao Liuli's prosthetic eye is 'Magic Eye-Jing Liuli', which has a very high-definition sneak shot function. Perhaps you are planning to use her as a bait to get a certain big shot into a sex scandal? Hmm... no, no. The cost would be too high, and the rewards uncertain - after all, stealers are very easy to investigate.

"So you're planning to use her to steal some documents, right?"

The more Russell said, the more fluent he became: "By taking advantage of the opportunity of the interview, people will relax their vigilance at the time of 'judging with the naked eye'-such as the current disconnection of the Internet. Because the photography of the naked eye and the prosthetic eye, the biggest The difference isn't really the sharpness...it's the internet connection that's required to shoot with the naked eye."

Originally, I just started to make up reasoning, but when I was halfway through, I suddenly felt that I might be wrong.

So Russell, who successfully persuaded himself, said with more clarity: "And now, you have found her...plan to use this nail to get rid of the inferior.

"Thinking about it this way, that report was also artificially made by you. Let the devil attack Xiao Liuli to create traces and lure the inferior to come here alone.

"In order not to alarm the delphinium, you didn't control the monitoring room. Instead, you deployed people to act as bartenders at the front desk wearing smiling masks. When someone asked about Xiao Liuli's pseudonym...

"The fish is hooked. Right?"

Russell's blood-stained face was full of confidence.

But in fact, his heart is gradually sinking.

...Didn't it mean that the bad ones will come soon?

It must have been more than 3 minutes, how come the support hasn't arrived yet?

After a brief silence, the bartender looked at Russell and burst out laughing.

"It's not a loss if you don't catch the bad guy. The Tianen Group unexpectedly has another brainy agent..."

He said slowly: "Are you wondering why the inferior hasn't come yet?

"It's very simple. Because you can't kill people, you just need to pile up some innocent people, and you can easily stop him. The ability of the inferior ones can't be kept, and if you want to get away quickly, it will definitely cause a large area of ​​​​death—he Never dare to use psionic energy in such a dense environment.

"So, you get the idea. Why are we here?"

A deep and magnetic voice flows: "

"—Because you are good people."

The bartender's left hand, which was hidden behind his back, finally came out and aimed at Russell.

That was not a signal jammer, but a mini pistol the size of a lighter.

Chapter 35 Remember to make up the knife when you kill

A good person...should be pointed at with a gun?

Although it was another world, Russell somehow felt ridiculous.

"I didn't kill them just now."

He lowered his eyes, raised his hands and said softly, "Can you give me a chance?"

"Opportunity? Who cares about you. It's not that I didn't let you kill them."

The bartender wearing a smiling face mask is as happy as the smile on the mask: "The bad ones are fine. As a hero, you are attacked and defending yourself—why don't you kill them?

"Are you afraid of going to jail? Are you afraid of fines? Are you afraid of trouble? Do you not want the children's dreams to be shattered?

"Or...are you just scared?"

Looking at Russell, the bartender laughed: "After all, you're a coward, aren't you?"

Russell was silent.

"...This is Uptown. You have a chip, too."
