Rocot: Reborn

Black Panda hunched over, groping his way forward in the dark and narrow passage. The words of that woman Red Spider were still echoing in his ears, something about "special channels" and "someone will pick him up". God knows what is waiting for him. In the black market, people like him who live on the edge of a knife will die without anyone knowing. Who will sincerely help him?

Thinking of this, Black Bear couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have taken this mess. Rokod, that was a living devil! But when he thought of the chip given by Red Spider, he heard that it contained a route map to the "Iron Tomb". The "Iron Tomb" was a legend that had been circulating in the black market for decades. It was said that there were technological weapons buried inside that could subvert the entire world. As long as he got it, he could become the new master of this chaotic land!

Greed and fear intertwined, driving Black Bear step by step towards the unknown abyss. After walking for an unknown period of time, a faint light finally appeared in front of him. He quickened his pace and rushed out.

"Who?!"

A cold voice rang out in the empty room. Before Black Bear could react, he was knocked to the ground by a powerful force, and then a sharp dagger was pressed against his throat.

"Ahem...one of our own, one of our own! Red Spider introduced me here!" Black Bear said while struggling. The cold touch made the hairs on his body stand on end. If he had been a few centimeters off, his life would have been over.

"Starscream?"

The man on top of him seemed to be stunned for a moment, then he slowly stood up and pulled Black Bear up from the ground. Black Bear could see the man's face clearly, it was an extremely young face, even a little immature, but his eyes were as cold as a knife, as if he could see through a person's soul.

"You'd better not play any tricks. Tell me, what does she ask you to do?" the man said coldly, turning the dagger in his hand flexibly, which made Black Bear tremble with fear.

"I... I'm here to get information, about... about Rocot." Black Bear stuttered, afraid of angering the evil star in front of him.

"Lockold?" The man suddenly laughed, but there was no warmth in his laughter. "Why, are you also interested in that dead man?"

"No, no, no, I'm not interested. It was Starscream who asked me to check." Black Bear waved his hands and explained, "She said that the recent rumors in the black market are related to Rokod, so she asked me to find out."

"Rumors?" The man raised an eyebrow. "What rumors?"

Black Bear swallowed and lowered his voice and said, "Some people say that Roccod is not dead at all. He escaped from the 'Gate of the Abyss', and... and..."

"And what?" the man demanded, with a barely perceptible urgency in his tone.

Black Bear took a deep breath, as if he had finally made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, he has brought back an even more terrifying power. He is coming back for revenge and bloodbath the entire black market!"

"Wash the entire black market?" The man laughed contemptuously, as if he had heard something ridiculous. "Just him? A stray dog ​​dares to talk about sweeping the black market? Who does he think he is? If he hadn't been..."

The man suddenly paused, as if realizing something, and turned his head to look at Black Bear, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. "You just said that he escaped from the 'Gate of the Abyss'?"

Black Bear was frightened by the man's sudden change. He subconsciously took a step back and stammered, "Yes... yes, I heard it from others. It is said... it is said that he brought back something incredible from inside..."

"What is it?" The man grabbed Black Bear by the collar, his tone filled with a hint of panic that he himself was not aware of.

"This... How would I know this!" Black Bear was so frightened by the man's fierce eyes that he almost peed his pants. He said tremblingly, "I'm just an errand boy. Starscream asked me to find out the news, so I came to find out the news. I don't know anything else!"

The man stared into Black Bear's eyes, as if trying to see something. After a while, he let go of his hand and said in a gloomy tone, "What tricks is that bitch Red Spider playing again..."

He turned around abruptly, his back facing Black Bear, his tone as cold as if it came from the Netherworld. "Go away! Go back and tell Starscream that I will personally handle the matter of Rocot, and tell her not to interfere again!"

"Yes... yes!" The black bear crawled out of the room as if he had been pardoned.

The man stood alone in the empty room, his face showing a changing expression.

"Lockold..." He whispered the name, his eyes filled with complex emotions, including resentment, unwillingness, and a hint of... fear?

"Did you really come back alive from the 'Gate of the Abyss'?" The man clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. "If that's true, then I will repay you tenfold for everything you suffered back then!"

At the same time, on the busiest street in the black market, a man wearing a black cloak and a hood was walking slowly.

He was tall but skinny. One could only vaguely see his paper-pale face under the hood. His blood-red eyes flashed a chilling light.

"Is this the black market?" The man's hoarse voice sounded like the friction between two pieces of rusty iron, making people feel uncomfortable.

He slowly raised his head and glanced at the scantily clad and heavily made-up women around him, as well as the men carrying all kinds of strange weapons. A cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"What a disgusting smell..." the man whispered, "But I like it."

He stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips gently, a hint of bloodthirsty madness flashing in his eyes.

"The game begins..."

The man walked into the noisy crowd and soon disappeared. But where he passed, he left a subtle chill that made the people around him shiver.

"Strange, why do I suddenly feel so cold?" A scantily clad woman crossed her arms and looked around in confusion.

"You feel the same way? I thought I was wearing too little!" another woman echoed.

"Stop being suspicious and start greeting the customers. Business is good today. Maybe you can make a lot of money!" a man said in a gruff voice.

The two women thought about it and decided to ignore the strange chill and continued to greet the guests warmly.

However, they didn't know that a bloody storm was about to descend upon this sinful city...
