Chapter 24 Difficulty (2)
At this moment, Newman was a little calmer, but a person like him who was so careful would not completely relax before "doing things out". Before Hunter's blood was sprayed clean, Newman held up the other party's head with his left hand and poked his right hand toward the broken neck.
According to Newman's idea, he put his hand into the head of the hunter and slammed his entire brain, so that he could be completely relieved.
However, just as his hand was about to reach, an extremely strange scene happened...
Newman was surprised to find that the thing he was holding in his left hand for some reason (he did not look away, but could not explain the change process) was no longer the head of the hunter, but became a "bomb".
Although Newman has seen many bombs, he has only seen this thing in cartoons because it is a typical "cartoon bomb"; its appearance is a black ball, and one end of the ball extends from a lead wire, which is still on fire.
Bang
Although Newman's right hand had been held in time, the bomb exploded in the moment he hesitated.
After the cartoon bomb exploded, a large amount of black smoke was generated, reducing the visibility around it to zero, but the smoke came and went quickly, just like the "smoke screen transition" in the cartoon... After the smoke dissipated, Newman found that he had not suffered any substantial damage except being blown to pieces, but the body of Hunter who was suppressed by himself did not fly away.
The next second, Newman quickly looked up and glanced around. He quickly found the Hunter standing several meters away. The Hunter, who should have been broken, turned into an unscathed state again.
"What's going on?" Newman shook. His physique would not sweat coldly, but he was indeed a little panicked. "Did I get it wrong from beginning to end? In fact, his ability is in the hallucination system? Then... when did I get caught?"
If a person is very smart but not smart enough, it is easy to think too much.
Newman's panic originated from this. After he assumed the Hunter's ability to be "illusion", he began to doubt everything; theoretically, perhaps from the moment he started stalking a few days ago, he was already in hallucination... Everything that happened afterwards might be false. In this way, Shi Sanwen and Zhang San escaped from the mortal trap he carefully arranged, which seemed to be understandable.
But in fact, he naturally thought too much and wrongly...
Hunter’s current ability is not to create illusions, but a supernatural ability called “cartoonization”.
Under the extremely exaggerated barrage volley, his "Face of Death" evolved into this form.
"Cartoonization" is a "order destruction" type of superpower, and its role in offense is basically negative, but in defense, it can be said to be one of the strongest abilities.
When a "cartoonization" ability is attacked, those attacks may, but are not limited to "being bounced away", "producing ridiculous sound effects and being powerless", "painting all the edges and leaving a circle of the outline of the target's body on the wall near the target", "charring, smashing, puncing, beating, etc., but the target will recover and survive in a way that may not be logical."
Similarly, people who are proficient in the ability of "cartoonization" can also take the initiative to play some tricks, such as "taking out objects from behind from thin air", "pulling their mouths like zippers", "making their hearts turn into chicken heart shape, protruding out of the chest cavity and making thumping sounds", "moving instantly, or even changing out and putting on makeup while moving instantly", etc.
This ability is a double-edged sword. Because it is very harmonious, it is almost invincible in defense. However, people who awaken this ability will become very bad in offense, and even the attacks they impose on others will become unable to cause the damage they deserve... at most it will make the opponent very annoyed.
"Damn? How did I survive?" On the other hand, the heart of the Lieba was also in a mess at this moment, "What's wrong with me? Did Shi Sanwen touch me? From the beginning, I not only became energetic, but also felt like I had endless strength, but also had an inexplicable joy. The accumulated hunger, thirst and sleepiness that had accumulated before were gone. Even if I was shot, broken limbs, and twisted my neck, I didn't feel any pain at all... Wait, can I be dreaming, right?"
For Newman, it would be a great luck to meet a "cartoonized" person who has a weak imagination and understanding ability and a harmonious personality. If he changes to a smart person with a bad personality here, Newman will probably be crazy.
"No more..." The Hunter thought for a moment, but failed, and stopped thinking, "Although he is much better than me, I seem to be unable to kill me now, so I go up and fight him to death, even if it is consumed, it can consume him to death..."
Thinking of this, the hunter attacked the opponent.
At this point, Lieba no longer controlled the expression on his face. He showed a fighting look, looking full of confidence.
Faced with such a hunter, Newman made another judgment...
“Back!”
The calm Newman made an unexpected move and used his superpower to send Hunter away.
For Newman, face or something is not important.
He would never act irritatedly, and with a lucky mentality, he would fight a one-on-one tug-of-war with someone who could not kill himself but might kill him...
Even after he returned, he was accused of "mobilizing troops to replace a train passenger, sacrificing a large number of agents, spending a lot of money, and finally not even caught a fuck." He would not make any defense.
Newman is the kind of person who can decisively give up the "sunken costs". His judgment of the present and the future will not be affected by those irreparable costs; and he tends to make the worst and most extreme plans for all situations.
It is precisely because of his superior calmness and stability that he has become one of the best investigators in the federal government.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, his pursuit trip still gained a lot: although he did not catch or kill any target, he obtained a lot of valuable information; anyway, there are many wanted criminals on the run now, and these are not bad. While obtaining these high-end combat intelligence, Newman feels that he has made a profit.
…………
Two minutes later, Newman turned his body back to normal. His clothes were made of special materials and could extend as they change, so they were not damaged.
After tidying up his clothes and thoughts, Newman adjusted his breathing, then walked to the door on the side of the carriage, raised his voice and said to the outside world: "I am Chief Newman, the operation is over. I am now ready to open the door. Please be careful not to leave the gun."
After the words fell, he waited for a few seconds.
After a few seconds, a trace of fear began to spread in his heart, because... outside the door, not only did no one respond to him, but there was not even a slightest voice.
Newman, who felt abnormal, did not repeat the words just now, directly opened the electronic door that separated the two cars.
As a result, behind the door, there were corpses on the ground and a man standing in the middle of the aisle, smoking silently.
Today Jack is still wearing a black suit, and the conspicuous scar on his face did not destroy his elegant and deep temperament when he smoked.
"I killed so many people silently in such a close place to me, and apart from the soles of my shoes, I didn't even get a drop of blood on my body..." Newman looked at the other person with his lifeless face and said coldly, "Ha... This style is worthy of being a man known as the 'God of Killing'."
Newman's "praise" is actually a demonstration. The implication is that I know who you are, but I am not afraid of you.
"Furo" But Jack didn't react much. He just took a sip of cigarette and replied in an absent-minded tone, "If you have something to say to him, I'm not interested in chatting with you."
When Newman heard this, he realized it and suddenly turned around... Then he realized that in the few seconds he confronted Jack, the door at the other end of the car had also opened. There was no doubt that the federal agents on that side had also died.
The "he" that Jack said had already arrived about five meters behind Newman.
It was a smiling young man, a face that Newman didn't know.
"So..." In order to gain more time for himself to analyze the situation, Newman deliberately slowed down his speech when he said this, "You two are also fellow Hunter?"
Zilin did not answer this question that he asked knowingly, but continued: "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind, probably to describe the current situation."
"Oh?" Newman said, "You mean... you two are actually coming for me?"
"The day when Hunter arrived in Cairo, there happened to be an escort officer nearby when he and Lao Shi met, at that location. Do you think this is really just a coincidence?" Zilin responded to the other party's question with a question.
Instead of speaking, Newman began to review his experiences these days based on the investigative information he had, and thought anxiously.
"There are not many people who are qualified to be sent to investigate the death of the guard officer. You are one of them, but you... are not the one I thought would come at first." Seeing that the other party did not respond, Zilin continued, "I originally thought that the guy who came would be the guy who 'can only be easily killed on the Eastern Express', so he set up the game early. Unfortunately, you... To be honest, you can kill you anywhere, but... forget it, our itinerary has been arranged anyway, and you are also one of the people who must be eliminated, so..."
"Back!" Newman didn't listen to him, because Newman had guessed who the other party said was "a person who could be easily killed on the Orient Express". If the other party really had the combat power to kill that person, Newman would definitely not be able to gain any advantage in the frontal confrontation, so Newman decisively used "back" against Zi Lin and Jack.
The two men suddenly disappeared as soon as he used their abilities, but...
"Didn't I tell you..." Two seconds later, Zilin's voice sounded again, but this time, his figure appeared on the second floor of the carriage. "I've set up a plan long ago. When I learned that the person who was 'fished' by Hunter was you, I had enough time to prepare... to deal with your ability."
Not only Zilin, but Jack also appeared on the second floor of the carriage. He stood beside Zilin, looking down at Newman standing on the first floor together.
"You... were on this Oriental Express at this time yesterday." Newman was not slow, and he immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words.
"Yes." Zilin continued, "I think you know very well that the Orient Express runs back and forth every day, and the driving time for the trips to and from back is fixed; yesterday the train from Istanbul to Paris was on time, and we bought tickets for this parking car at that time. Today... I thank you for your blessing, and it is also on time, and it is not bad for a second. Then after we were 'back' by you, we are still here."
"It seems you know my abilities very well..." Newman knew that the situation was not very good, but he still spoke out and thought about ways to get out.
