Chapter 878: New York Without Superheroes (3)
As these words fell, the figures of Yi Huan and Meggie suddenly tore through the space and appeared behind Walsh, that is, surrounded by the police.
In front of him, a police car was parked, and Larry sat in it and looked out, as if he didn't react at all, and Yi Huan had appeared in front of him in an instant.
Yi Huan had seen him a long time ago, and when he was far away, he found Larry hiding in the car.
After all, the magic fluctuations on his body were like lights in the night.
Director Walsh was also taken aback, he turned around and almost yelled, "Open! ……”
Of course you can't shoot, with such a close distance and a dense encirclement formation, the probability of accidentally injuring your own people is far greater than hitting the target, and he hasn't figured out how Yi Huan came behind him suddenly, can he still use this kind of sudden departure from here.
As the chief of the New York Police Department, Walsh has a very sharp mind in addition to having a big heart, and he thinks of many things in an instant, but unfortunately, the FBI hides most of the facts from him.
Walsh saw this, and the others naturally saw it, and the surrounding police left and dispersed, forming a circle around the place again.
Several black SUVs in the distance turned in one direction and turned their bodies sideways, seemingly ready to drive away.
Unnoticed by everyone, a somewhat obese cook walked slowly down the dark street, and the police, who had most of their attention on Yi Huan, did not notice him because it was already getting dark.
Until he ran into the first police officer closest to him.
"You are? ......" The policeman was startled, and when he realized that he was a fat cook, he immediately asked with some annoyance, but as soon as his voice arrived, he slowly lowered, and his body softened to the ground, and then slowly dissipated into mist.
The green mist burrowed into the asphalt road, as if it were seeping from the depths of the earth.
At the place where the policeman fell, another policeman stood up again, and the handover did not even take half a minute, but the fat cook disappeared, and no one knew where he went.
"Magic...... Magical ......"
The cop who got up pressed the brim of his hat, let out a vague understatement, and began to squeeze forward sideways, avoiding the crowd of cops, and then through the staggered cars.
"Cerro, what are you going to do?"
"Cerro is back."
"The boss told us to stay put, Cerro stop!"
His companions recognized the identity of the policeman and whispered, but Cerro turned a deaf ear and still avoided the crowd without panic, and walked forward firmly.
"Magic...... Magical ......"
There seemed to be only one goal in his eyes, and that was the two men who stayed with Director Walsh......
"So is your story useful?" Brian, who was staying in one of the black SUVs, also asked impatiently.
He repeated the question a lot along the way, and when Stan was still in the FBI headquarters, he said that he had completed this critical mission, writing a book to temporarily intercept Yi Huan, and then using this time to think about how to send Yi Huan back or kill him.
Stan is one of the world's best-selling best-selling authors, not only writing a story in half an hour, but he is confident that he has exceeded his deadline by making it real.
But alas, this is just his own words.
There is not the slightest indication that this story has actually come true.
According to Stan, if the story were to become true, some kind of monster would crawl out of the original manuscript he typed out on his typewriter.
But the manuscript was still in Brian's hand, and it didn't change at all, unless the monster wasn't as strong as Brian's.
At that time, Brian had a bad premonition, because according to the experience in the movie, under normal circumstances, there is a chance that something like this will happen, such as ...... The story didn't come true.
But he had no proof, and could only pray in his heart that what Stan said would be useful.
It's a pity that as the hustle and bustle approaches, and Stan's so-called story still hasn't come out to save the scene, Brian finally can't help it, and if he waits any longer, Larry will be captured, so there is no need to delay.
If this mysterious person hides after capturing Larry, he will definitely not be able to find it, such as Athena, who disappeared before, and even he can leave this country completely, and the FBI has no way at all, because some countries don't talk about the FBI, and even the CIA's hands can't reach in.
Of course, they still have slate as bait, but this is the last bait and cannot be thrown easily.
"It should ...... No problem......" Stan said unsurely, hearing Brian's question.
"And how did you conclude that the story was useful?" Brian also felt a little strange because when he was at HQ, Stan was swearing, and nothing strange happened at that time.
"Because it's a real goosebumps story." "There's twists, there's horrors, and there's absolutely no hero, and it's a real goosebumps story, so it's going to come true." ”
Brian spread his hands and made an incomprehensible expression.
Or Furchart, who was also in the car, asked, "What kind of story is this?" "Every Silver Tongue is a person who loves to read, they have a special affection for books, and they are also very picky about great stories.
Although Stan's goosebumps series is not Folchart's favorite, I have to admit that these stories are very exciting, and the whole set of goosebumps stories Folchart has seen them, and now the original author has written a new story to put around, how can it not attract Folchat.
"Uh......" Stan muttered, then said, "It's a story called the Demon in the Book, and legend has it that some books hide ancient demons who feed on magic and hate demon magic, but live on magic and can only be awakened through magic." ”
"But there has never been magic in the world, so these demons don't exist, just old legends."
"When they are summoned, they trace the origin of their magic, and they have a special ability to transform into any creature they come into contact with, but if that creature is an ordinary person, they will devour it and replace it."
"The general content of the story is that a group of little guys are playing the game of Saucer Immortals, and then inadvertently awaken the demon in an ancient book, because the little guy in the lead is just an ordinary person, and after being traced back to the demon, he was devoured and then replaced."
"Then their little friends began to be replaced one by one, and in the place of one of the former would disappear, and one of the children would find out about the secret and start to become terrified."
"In the end, the remaining children, together with the adults, found an ancient magic that they didn't believe in and sealed the demon again."
"But in the end, they didn't realize that because of this ancient magic, the demons that had been sleeping in more books had been awakened."
"There's horror, there's twists, and there's no hero, it's a goosebump-bearing story."
Stan's tone is confident that he is confident that the story will be true, but unfortunately this is just his confidence, and there is no real evidence to prove it.
"Not bad." Brian on the side said insincerely, "The story is very good, and the title of the book is also very appropriate, which will give people a sense of double reality and illusion, but unfortunately it's not your time for reading and interviewing, and we don't need your writing experience, what we need is the guy who dragged the venue." ”
Brian shook his head, then grabbed the walkie-talkie next to him, "Plan A failed, implement Plan B." ”
"Understood." Mike's voice rang from the other end of the intercom, and then he asked strangely, "Why don't you have a name, the code name Project A doesn't sound like your style." ”
"That's the name I came up with." Brian said, "Like Project Scorpio, Project Tahiti, it sounds like it's going to make people guess what it's about, so after much deliberation, I decided to use Plan A, which can be used to confuse the other party and make them guess. ”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the intercom, and after a while, Mike said, "Okay, that's a genius idea, Plan B is about to start, get ready to evacuate." ”
Brian gestured to the driver next to him, and then took the lead in fastening his seatbelt.
The next moment, without waiting for Walsh to give the order to attack, several smoke grenades were thrown in a row, falling to Yi Huan's feet.
"Who is it?" This startled Walsh and subconsciously roared, "Who did it!" ”
But soon he didn't care about these things, and the smoke bombs swirled wildly and spat out a large amount of tear gas, and Walsh couldn't stop retreating, as did the surrounding police.
The unlucky New York police chief didn't seem to know who did it, Yi Huan's eyes narrowed, and it looked like they were not targeting themselves in the first place, but to get rid of the police officers next to them.
So Yi Huan held up a protective spell again, and then pulled towards the door of the car where Larry was, he didn't have the heart to waste time here with these cops, no matter what they wanted to do, whatever the conspiracy, he would catch Larry and leave here.
Sure enough, at the same time that the policemen were scattering and retreating, the GIs who jumped out of the armored vehicles again brought out some mass killers, howitzers and anti-tank rocket launchers.
They didn't care about using large-scale weapons in the city, and of course, it could be the largest weapon they could mobilize, and eventually give back the largest weapons they could suppress.
Just as Mike was about to give the order to attack, Brian, who had already left in the car, was suddenly stunned, and half a second later, he grabbed the walkie-talkie and yelled, "Stop!" Pause the attack! ”
Mike was stunned for a moment, although he was also puzzled, but he immediately conveyed the order, "Stop!" ”
Fortunately, there was still time, and the soldiers who received the order immediately stopped loading ammunition, and the howitzers were put in place.
Brian didn't order a stop for no reason, but because at the last moment, he seemed to see a police officer in the car's rearview mirror.
He was slowly making his way to the tear gas, the center of the mystery man.
This is impossible, Brian can't figure it out, it's not just a matter of acting without following orders, but because tear gas canisters are so lethal to the human body that normal humans can't walk in with tear gas canisters at all.
The eyes exposed to the air will cry as soon as they come into contact, and even the eyes will be completely blurred and he can't see the way, he will never be able to find the right way indifferently, or even accurately.
Unless...... He is not human.
With NZT, Brian has a far better ability to think than a human, otherwise he wouldn't have made full use of his brain, and even what he sees in the afterglow can be re-filtered, and he notices this small detail in the mirror.
He understood all this almost instantly, not human, but with a human-like appearance, no...... He was disguised as a human, and it just so happened that Stan improvised the synopsis of the story that the magic-eating demon could disguise himself as any creature he came into contact with.
That is, there is already a policeman who has been devoured by it.
Sometimes, human beings often already know the truth, but because of the misunderstanding of thinking, they can't think of it, they can't pay attention to it, but NZT will not be like this, it makes perfect use of every minute of space in the brain, everything is placed on the plane, just like playing puzzles and wiring games, you can find the hidden and missing truth.
So in the blink of an eye, Brian called off the plan B attack that was about to start.
Because if Stan's demons could deal with him, then they would have a way to deal with magic, and magic was a force that was no less powerful than the Silver Tongue if it could be controlled compared to killing and sending it back to the book.
That's an overachievement......
The shoddy police car couldn't resist the smoke of the tear gas canisters, and Larry was crying inside, looking very embarrassed.
Yi Huan blessed him with a protective spell and dispersed the smoke in the car, which made him feel better.
The surrounding smoke was not expelled, and Yi Huan just ensured that he was not affected, and although the tear gas was irritating, it was also a good cover for the outside world.
After doing these things, Yi Huan stepped forward and prepared to open the car door.
But at this time, he seemed to suddenly faintly feel a sound of footsteps, which was a very strange thing, and it was precisely because of this strange and incongruous weirdness that Yi Huan was stunned for a second.
And a second later, a cold hand landed on Yi Huan's wrist.
"Who is it?" Yi Huan's heart became vigilant, and the protective charm vibrated slightly in the air, and at the same time, he silently shook this arm away.
Whatever the reason, smoke bombs or magic, it is a very strange thing to be able to have someone approach you in such an occasion, and you can't help but be unvigilant.
And the next moment, the smoke from the tear gas canisters seemed to be dispersed by something, revealing the person hiding behind the smoke.
It was a face that was exactly the same as Yi Huan, with exactly the same clothes and dress, and it looked like two people carved out of a mold, the only difference being that there was no Megi by his side.
Hearing Yi Huan's question, he seemed to be stunned, and then suddenly grinned, "You." He said. (To be continued.) )
