Night, old walls, mountains of waste, and the sound of machinery. This was a garbage disposal plant on the outskirts of New York.
Since it was already late at night, there were not many people still working at this time. Except for the occasional garbage collection truck, there was basically not much movement. On the outer street, except for a drunken homeless man, the street lights were dim like a silent scene in a ghost movie.
In this scene, two bright car lights suddenly appeared at the end of the street, entering our line of sight, and sped over at an astonishing speed.
Traveling at a speed of more than 180 kilometers per hour, the taxi brought up all kinds of waste materials and garbage on the roadside. When it brushed past the homeless man, the man was so scared that he collapsed to the ground. The bottle of beer also broke with a bang. When he staggered to his feet and wanted to curse, he saw that the taxi had already driven directly into the unguarded gate of the garbage disposal plant in front of him and disappeared without a trace.
Passing through the bumpy and winding road of the garbage disposal plant, the taxi stopped in front of the huge garbage disposal plant. Usually, a large amount of waste would be thrown into this huge pit through a wide conveyor belt, and then a huge iron plate weighing dozens of tons would crush the unrecyclable waste into hard blocks like military biscuits, and then proceed to the next step of processing. But at this moment, the conveyor belt and the huge crushing machine weren't operating. A nearby light was broken, enveloping the taxi in flickering light.
Not far away, in a studio on the first floor of an old four-story building, two staff members who were chatting stood up and looked at the taxi that had suddenly driven over. The door opened, and a figure walked over. One of the staff members went out to greet him.
"Hey, who are you? This place doesn't allow unauthorized personnel to enter … Oh, my god …" When he reached the entrance, he finally got a good look at the person who walked out from the shadows. He was wearing a sun hat that was pulled down very low, and his body was covered in blood. He looked like a butcher who had walked out from a horror movie. However, he was not a rookie who would be scared by some hooligans. He suddenly pulled out a gun from his chest and pointed it at the man's head. "Hey, stop!
Do you want to cause trouble?
Do you know that this is Mr. D 'Amico's property? I don't think you've died … "
"Don't worry."
As if he didn't see the gun pointed at him, the man put one hand in his pocket and approached him unhurriedly. "I'm just here to deal with some garbage."
As soon as his voice fell, he swung his right hand and slapped the man with the gun in the face. The height difference between the two men was nearly a head, but it was like being hit by a sledgehammer. The 1.8 meters tall American man in front of him didn't even have time to shoot before he fell to the ground with a thud.
The man in the studio hurriedly raised his pistol. The next moment, a bullet accurately broke the glass in front of him and shot into his head. Only a slight sound of glass breaking could be heard in the night sky. In the garbage disposal plant, such a sound did not wake anyone up.
Throwing the pistol with a silencer aside, the man covered in blood walked into the studio. A moment later, with the sound of machinery, the conveyor belt and the huge garbage compressor began to operate again.
Garbage continued to fall into the pit.
Amidst the noise of the machinery, he returned to the taxi, opened the door, and dragged out a few badly mutilated bodies. Perhaps it was because they had been trained and the assailant had deliberately held back, but the two bodies, which had been cut countless times, still retained consciousness. As they were thrown onto the conveyor belt, the Japanese man surnamed Watanabe cried out again.
"You … You're forcing everyone into a dead end … Tulip, you're leaving no room for buffer … We won't let you go, we won't let you go. Do you think you're very powerful?
You're the only one who's powerful … Everyone you care about will die, and the killers will keep coming. How many people can you protect, and how long can you protect … You'll regret it, you'll regret it! "
His voice trembled with extreme pain, like a vicious curse in the night sky. However, the person walking slowly along the conveyor belt wasn't moved at all. "I can't protect everyone. Kill all you want."
"You … You …"
"You think you can scare me by threatening them, and then I'll compromise and ask for peace? Let me tell you, come at me. I may not be able to save all of them, but you can't save yourselves either. All of you in Pei Luojia better pray that you don't care about anything. From now on, I'll kill whoever I see. I'll kill whoever I find. I'd like to see if you have the ability to make Minamoto No Yoritomo follow and protect you every day."
Amidst the continuous painful groans on the conveyor belt, the man's made-up face showed a smile. "Whether it's Pei Luojia in Japan or the American branch, I know much more than you think. Let's do it both ways until one of us can't stand it anymore. Before that, you are all necessary sacrifices. Don't complain, more will come. I'm only one person, and I only care about a small number of people. Let's see who can kill more."
"You're the ones who forced me to this point."
Their bodies were in great pain. Seeing the black hole in front of them getting closer and closer, the fear in the eyes of the two Japanese became more and more intense. Not only for the impending death, but also for the meaning of this person's words. He was simply a madman!
Whether it was the real world or the Dark World, the rules were nothing more than interests. Similar to the war between large groups, Yanhuang Awakening and Pei Luojia, Takamagahara and Pei Luojia, Dim Heavenly Qin and Pei Luojia … In fact, they all maintained restraint and a bottom line, because once things couldn't go on, the two sides still had to maintain peace. Taking a step back, even if things got to the point of anger and resentment, once the fighting couldn't go on, the two sides could still sit down and negotiate. However, just by threatening the people he cared about, the madman in front of him had already begun to develop things in a direction where there was no room for negotiation.
There was a common saying in China, "The unreasonable are afraid of the reckless, and the reckless are afraid of the reckless." No matter how powerful Tulip had been before, no one in Pei Luojia was really afraid of her, because in the final analysis, she was just one person. No matter how great the strength of one person was, she couldn't fight against an organization. As long as she had people she cared about, she would eventually have to give in.
However, if Seiji had acted as if they were going to kill each other from the very start, then the result would have been a boring battle with no victor. Even if Pei Luojia took a step back and considered the fact that he was currently facing so many enemies, this would be a complete loss for him. A Minamoto no Yori Chakune who didn't care about anything would definitely be a terrifying enemy.
Blood and pain blurred his vision. Suddenly, he felt a hand wipe the blood from his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the end of the conveyor belt was already near. Taking off the sun hat, the man wiped off the thin mask on his face, letting the two Japanese finally see the familiar yet strange sneer on the boy's face. They had guessed many people before, but they had never guessed that it was him …
"I am Tulip, there has never been a Jian Suyan."
"Watanabe, I know you don't have many relatives, but it seems … in your hometown in the countryside, there is an old grandma who is very good to you. In addition, Ito, you have relatives. You are not an official killer, so you have a wife, a daughter, this year … let me think, two years old?
She must be very cute. You can rest assured that I won't have any scruples. The next time I have a chance to go to Japan, I will send them down.
Don't be agitated, it won't be just you. Pei Luojia is not a monolith. Perhaps when enough people like this die, both of us will have a chance to reflect on the mistakes we made from today. "
"You …" On the conveyor belt, the two bodies that were still alive suddenly became agitated. However, almost all of their limbs were cut off, and the blood in their bodies was almost drained. They couldn't make any big movements at all. The two bodies fell into the big pit full of garbage. Just now, there was a hoarse cry for a long time, "You will not have a good ending –"
"Curse me as much as you want …"
A moment later, the huge metal plate closed and pressed down towards the bottom of the pit. Under the flickering lights, a lonely and charming figure was reflected …
*****
He took off his disguise, washed the blood off his body, and destroyed the clothes he wore. When he returned to the vicinity of the Sallier Manor, the banquet had just ended. He hid in the dark and looked at the various vehicles parked outside the manor. Among them, there were many people who were monitoring, and they were all professionals. He thought that the police, the FBI, and even the Yanhuang Awakening and Pei Luojia should have people here.
No one was a fool. Sure enough, in just one day, they all noticed this side.
They said that they would kill anyone who saw Pei Luojia's people, but it was impossible for them to make a move at the moment. Besides, they had killed enough people today. After watching for a while, he quietly sneaked back to the manor and returned to Marilyn's villa.
It was very late, and he didn't know if Marilyn and Heidi were asleep. He walked into the bathroom and washed his body for the second time. As he was sorting out his thoughts for today, there was a knock on the door. "Jiaming, Jiaming … Are you back?
Can I come in? "It was Heidi's voice. She must have seen the light in the room from outside.
"Uh … Come in, I'm taking a shower. I'll be out soon."
The door wasn't locked, so it opened with a turn from the outside. He quickly took a shower and walked out of the bathroom. The lights in the room were off, but the light from a distance shone in. Heidi, who was wearing a white nightgown, was kneeling on the bed, hugging a pillow. She was looking at him, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying …
