Darkness is Coming

   Yesterday's shooting in Rafael Square was like a piece of gravel thrown into the waves, without making any waves.

In normal times, there are always informants who contact the reporters. After all, the gunshots were heard near the White House. Even if there were no casualties and it was just a suspected shooting, it was still an incident worthy of investigation. .

However, now, major news media are busy making big news about mutants, and almost all the staff in the press have devoted their main energy to this sensitive topic that has reached the level of a national phenomenon. No major reporter is willing to waste time. It is even more difficult for those young reporters who do not have enough resources to get news.

  Therefore, TV, radio, and newspapers did not report on yesterday's Raphael Square shooting, and after the big hands of some people brushed the clouds and rain, the whole thing seemed to have never happened, leaving no trace.

   Therefore, the person who knew about this must be the relevant person, and the person who knew that there was a bullet hole left in the van was either the group of people who later surrounded the car and searched, or the sniper who shot the bullet. If it was the former, he would never come alone, and would sit across from him to say hello.

"Then, he is the mysterious sniper who shot me to stop me yesterday." Xu Le calculated in his heart, from the point of view of the bullet point, either he was a terrible shooter, or he missed it on purpose. Just to stop myself.

"I believe in you." Xu Le frowned angrily. He had a feeling that he seemed to be caught in some complicated vortex. As things gradually went beyond his control, this intuition became stronger and stronger, making Xu Le feel more and more Your own brain is not enough.

  Perhaps, the guy in the suit in front of him can answer some questions for himself, for example, how did he know about his plan and rush to the hotel near Raphael Square in advance to make arrangements?

  Xu Le put away his fierce eyes, tried his best to show kindness, and said in a harmonious voice, "Mr. Reese, what would you like to eat? We can talk while eating."

   "Mr. Lewis, I'm afraid we don't have time to enjoy Chinese food. If you want to survive, I suggest you follow me and leave here immediately."

   It can be seen from the joking expression on John Reese's face that this guy must be very good at fighting, otherwise he will not live now.

   "Oh?" Xu Le raised his eyebrows, feeling even more puzzled and curious, not to mention whether the other party's words were credible, for whatever reason, Xu Le couldn't think of why this stranger in front of him should care about his own safety.

   In addition, Xu Le noticed that the other party's address to himself was not Xu Le, but Lewis, which was the name written on Xu Le's driver's license and the identity he used to cover before.

   This is getting weirder and weirder.

   "Yes, your life is in danger now." John Reeser squinted at the other diners in the restaurant and added, "And they are also in danger because of you."

   "Oh." Xu Le shrugged and continued to stretch out his chopsticks, as if he didn't care about the lives of others.

  John Reese let out a short sigh, reached out and touched his right ear, and said helplessly: "It seems that our friend doesn't want to believe us, I have to give him some information."

Xu Le calmly began to observe, the man in a suit sitting opposite seemed to be talking to someone with deep-eared miniature wireless earphones. He spoke very fast. With Xu Le's English level, he could only hear it roughly. I missed a few words and had to guess the meaning of each sentence, as if I was back in high school when I practiced English listening.

"Oh, you may have forgotten the video we saw earlier? In Lilongwe, Malawi, this Asian friend can take on those humanoid monsters alone and win, do you really think I have the ability to force him away? "

"Finch, we received twenty-one numbers, and now there are twenty people in the restaurant who are completely innocent, just some unrelated ordinary people, in the wrong place at the wrong time, and nothing else. But if I can't take Lewis, they'll all die, do you really think your little secrets are more important than the lives of these people?"

   Xu Le didn't understand the next few words. John quickly ended the conversation, looked at Xu Le sincerely, and said in a pleading tone, "Why don't we talk somewhere else?"

   "Okay." Xu Le noticed that the other party was willing to reveal some valuable information to him, so he put down a few twenty bills, got up and followed John out of the restaurant.

  The two walked out of the door of the restaurant. John took out the car key and pointed to a Mercedes-Benz, and pressed the unlock button. At the moment when the unlock prompt sounded, a fleeting spark appeared in a certain direction in the distance.

  Snipe!

Xu Le jumped up abruptly, put his left hand on John's right shoulder, who was a whole head taller than him, and pressed him forward. Thanks to Xu Le who had received the injection of the enhanced medicine and wore a rune bracelet, otherwise he would have to use this posture to make his hair. It is difficult to knock down the tall and tall John.

  After the bullet missed its original target, it slammed into the door of the restaurant. The insufficiently thick tempered glass was like a film that was once broken in front of the bullet fired by the sniper rifle. A bullet hole and dense cracks appeared immediately.

"I will drive!"

Before he could explain, Xu Le reached out and grabbed the key in John's hand, and quickly crawled forward on the ground like a gecko climbing a wall, quickly climbed to the bottom of the Mercedes-Benz, opened the driver's door, got into the driver's seat, and started the car. , the action is so fast that it is dazzling.

  When Xu Le backed the Mercedes-Benz to John who was hiding behind the obstacle, there was a shrill scream in the restaurant, and at the same time a second bullet flew from the direction of the fire just now.

   Xu Le bowed his head in time, and the bullets continuously penetrated the two windows of the passenger seat and the driver's seat, but did not hurt Xu Le in the slightest.

   "Get in the car!" Xu Le didn't care about the life or death of this uninvited guest, but he was still at a loss, so he couldn't just lose the clues.

After being sniped, John's reaction was calmer than Xu Le imagined. He didn't panic. He calmly made a tactical roll. When he got up, he opened the car door, sat sideways in the passenger seat, and then closed the door, moving like a cloud of water. , in one go.

   Xu Le opened his mouth to speak, but heard the whistling sound of the helicopter's propeller spinning at a high speed above his head.

   The snow was bright in front of him. The helicopter's searchlight was like a lightsaber, nailed to the Mercedes-Benz. Cars with special license plates were surrounded from all directions, and the police cars of nearby patrol officers were crowded to the side of the road.

   "Tsk." Xu Le shook his head, glanced at John, and said, "fasten your seat belt."
