To Four Thousand Years Later

Gabriel took a deep breath of smoke, and the pink mist wrapped around her neck like a living snake. The spar on her forehead shone with a green halo, and the golden lake rippled in the depths of her holy blue pupils—afterwards, she no longer hesitated. She held a slender cigarette-shaped powder smoke in her mouth, and without waiting for a response from the other party, she sneered and pushed the bundle mechanism away.

The originally restrained electric arc spread out in an instant, and the electric grid rushing around jumped on the ground, creaking and drilling holes in the metal objects. The strong burnt smell is accompanied by the rush of ozone, and the dazzling electric light is chilling. The man closest to Gabriel was unlucky enough to be struck by an electric arc - and the rest followed. He was directly knocked down to the ground, his whole body convulsed like black smoke, and he made an inexplicable noise accompanied by the violent noise of unbalanced gears. But Gabriel didn't waver at all.

She just let go of the charging trigger, then squeezed it tightly again to start charging, and at the same time reset the beam mechanism.

"Next time, it will directly penetrate your skulls." Gabriel warned.

She deliberately loosened the beam-shaped mechanism, just to spread out the attack that was originally focused on one point. Prevent killing them all in one go. I'm ashamed to say it. After all, she came here to inquire about things, not to kill people.

It would have been better if he had come to kill.

After all, killing is her job skill, it is as natural as breathing, eating and drinking.

After all, it was an ability that had been immersed for more than a hundred years and had exhausted several lives before it was exchanged from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​worms, the bone-chilling ice hell. Compared with these civilians who stayed comfortably in the rear, it would be no more difficult for him to kill a room full of chickens than to kill a room full of chickens.

"Oh well."

A steady voice came, without any fear or trembling: "What do you want to talk about? Ms. Angel from Earth." Except for the unlucky little brother who lost the ability to move after meeting, followed Gabriel There are two other people. The trembling standing at the back was the "class" who had asked Gabriel's name, and the one who was speaking at the moment was another group with slightly more people.

A man with a height of at least two meters and an exaggerated figure like Meiman's superhero came out of it. His skin is brown and black like mud, his lips are thick and he wears sunglasses that cover up like eyebands. On top of that, he has no ears.

Basil A13S1, male, surviving 220 years. The database from the newborn daughter faithfully reported the identity of this person to her.

And behind him, there is a slender monkey-like boy with tattoos all over his bare chest. His left eye protruded forward without jumping, and then split to the sides to become a slender lens. The light in the lens flickered between red and green for a few times, then froze to green, and then began to subtly zoom the lens and change the focal length.

"Wait, wait, be forewarned, everything you do and say will be recorded by us." Noticing that Gabriel's muzzle and eyes were all ringing, he turned away, the boy suddenly became nervous.

His voice is not as confident and calm as the strong man in front of him, but he is obviously a little afraid: "It's useless even if you kill me now! It has been uploaded to the cloud by me at the same time. If I die, your killing process and remarks will be made public.”

"…puff."

Hearing this, Gabriel couldn't help laughing.

After living for more than a hundred years, it still smells like a child.

This... This "young man" named Milliken A561 exposed their lack of confidence almost the moment they spoke. The aura that Basil showed when he stood up before was completely vented by him in an instant.

"Don't be too nervous, Miss." The oldest man named Basil moved slightly sideways to block Milliken, his tall body covered half of Milliken's body.

Facing an attack that could kill him in an instant, this man who had lived for more than two hundred years was not afraid at all. He was just calm, and asked in his reassuring voice: "We just want to ask, what are you looking for when you come to our city?"

"Hermit." Gabriel said without any hesitation, "Do you know anything about this?"

Hearing this, the other party was silent for a moment.

Afterwards, Basil asked in a more cautious tone: "What do you want them for?"

"I'm ashamed to say it," Gabriel said calmly with a gun in his left hand and Ruoyan in his right hand, "Actually, I'm a third-rate detective. After receiving the order, I'll come here and adjust... What are hermits, where are they, and what are they going to do?" Apart from that, I have no other purpose."

"May I ask," Basil asked slowly, "Who invited you to investigate?"

"Is this question important?"

Gabriel asked back.

"It's very important, I still want to ask you to answer."

Basil bowed his head very politely, and respectfully said to Gabriel: This will determine how we will treat you. As his voice fell, Gabriel keenly sensed that disturbing surroundings began to spread. atmosphere.

Gabriel wrinkled his nose slightly. She just seemed to smell the stench of the saliva from the sickly wild dogs on the street...but it seemed to be just a hallucination. Instead of answering right away, she glanced back slightly. There is no light in front of O'Henry's bar, and music that can shake the heart is resounding in the bar. Strange lights of pink, blue, purple, etc. swirled outside through the window.

"It's a big man." Gabriel thought for a long time, and then replied in a deep voice. Basil frowned slightly dissatisfied: "The big man on Earth... can still manage our moon affairs?"

In fact, that lord can run the affairs of all planets.

Gabriel thought to himself.

But just after she answered this question, she clearly felt that the malice around her had increased. The lights of the bar were still spinning, at times fast and sometimes slow. And in the end, when it dyed Gabriel's whole body pink, it happened to stop for a moment.

"You'd better not move."

A calm and hoarse voice came from behind Gabriel. At the same time, Gabriel felt a cold and sharp object stably pressed against his back.

"Stay! Put down your weapon!"

Another very nervous voice sounded: "If you dare to move around, I will shoot and beat you to pieces."

OK, OK, I'm not moving. Gabriel said slowly, with a very soft voice: "Don't be nervous." She could hear the voice of the person behind her trembling all the time. She knew this kind of recruit too well. If she moved a little, he would actually shoot. This kind of person was the most dangerous person, more dangerous than the person who only threatened her and didn't come forward. The door of the bar behind her stopped, and she slowly lowered the gun in her left hand, and immediately felt the pipe behind her hit her harder. That was almost to the point of pushing her forward.

Gabriel was not moved in the slightest. She just calmly let go of the charge trigger, and dropped the stun gun that gradually stopped buzzing to the ground not far in front of her.

Gabriel Merrill felt that there was at least one moment in that moment. Everyone's eyes followed the gun.

And she immediately turned right and rubbed the gun to her left shoulder. The brat behind him fired without hesitation, but it was already too late. With a thunderous roar, the gun was like a cannon barrel mounted on a gun mount, and moved in the direction pointed by Gabriel's shoulder. , precisely penetrated and smashed the group of people opposite Gabriel. She just patted his abdomen lightly, and hit his chin with her elbow, and the man behind him fell down silently, and the cracked injury could at least make him temporarily weak.

Before he fell down, Gabriel had already taken the gun in his hand, turned around and raised the muzzle, aiming behind him.

"Don't move, put down your weapon. If you dare to move, I'll shoot you and beat you to pieces."

She replied blankly to what the man said before.
