Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

5. Kevin and Ed, the struggle of little people

"Huh...huh..."

Deep breathing sounded in the corner of the dark room. Kevin was holding a pistol full of bullets in his left hand and a dagger in his right hand. The black one, wrapped in red cloth strips, was longer than the dagger. Some black knives, yes, it once belonged to Thompson.

It is a pity that its owner has long been lying on the bottom of the Gotham coast.

In the last few days, Kevin and Cyber ​​have talked twice. Although he doesn’t like the bastard who smiled when he killed people, he has to admit that if he doesn’t plan to leave Gotham, he and Ed You must find yourself a strong backer.

Originally he was still hesitating, but after the incident with Arkham appeared, he made up his mind. He knew who the man in the dark red armor was. He was probably the only insider in this city, and the truth What brought him was a faint hope. Although it was so vague that it was nowhere to be found, at least it could bring him a touch of comfort in this cold and dark night.

He is just a small person. If his father had not worked for the Kagemusha League, he would not have even the slightest connection with this organization, but the problem lies here. When his father was seriously ill, he urgently needed a lot of money to save him. His father, and at that time, the Shadow Warriors appeared.

For a 17-year-old young man, does he have a choice?

No... Destiny never gave him enough choices. After his father finally passed away, Kevin could only take one step at a time driven by destiny. He used to be like many young people. At his age, it’s normal to have this kind of thought. In fact, as peripheral members, they don’t have too many troubles to deal with.

The young man turned his head from side to side, looking nervously at the surrounding environment. He was always worried that a bunch of killers in black armor would suddenly emerge from the dark corner. This worry has lasted for a whole day because he is in In the corner of this street, I saw the sign representing "assembly".

They are coming!

Kevin put the short knife in his hand on the table, and he shivered and lit a cigarette for himself. He never smoked these things before, but now, he needs a little gadget to release the pressure.

He turned his head and looked at the clock on the wall. Ed has been out for 15 minutes. It is normal to spend this time buying a meal, but there is another possibility that something happened to him!

Thinking of this, Kevin reached out and smashed the cigarette in his mouth on the ash-covered table, and threw it in the ashtray that was already full of cigarette butts. He picked up the phone, gritted his teeth, and sent a text message. .

"They are here!"

Recipient: Cyber ​​Hawke.

After pressing the send button, Kevin seemed to have lost his strength, he fell on the sofa, and his mind was in confusion.

He has worked for Kagemusha for 4 years. What he did the most was to collect the latest intelligence in various areas of Gotham. He didn't even encounter a situation where he needed to take up a weapon. But thanks to his father’s cultivation of him since childhood, Kevin is not the kind of young man who has no hands.

Especially in the two years since Klein arrived in Gotham, no one in the entire narrow island dared to provoke the members of the lunatic asylum. The young people even felt that this kind of life was great at one time. After all, he was only 21 years old, and he was still at an age like fantasy. Here, if there were no accidents, he would live like this until he turned himself into a "narrow islander" through and through.

Not enterprising, brave enough to fight hard, have a kind of unexplainable hostility to all outsiders, engage in some less serious work, and party with those strippers to the destiny every day, looking for that kind in the overflowing burst of beastly Shallow "happiness", and then died in a gang fight or a robbery.

This is their life. Lars Al Goul is right in one sentence. This city, at least on a narrow island,

The walking dead who live only to live.

But luckily or unfortunately, he met Saibo. When his only good friend Ed was thrown into the ocean three times, only his confession could save him, and when he was also tied up and thrown into the ocean. When he realized that he could save him on his own, when he tried everything to cut the rope with difficulty, the deepest suffering and fear in Kevin's heart reawakened him from that dangerous life.

That's cruel. Even now, Ed would be afraid to see the water, but Kevin replaced all the clocks in the house with that old style. He was afraid of seeing the beating numbers, two pairs that night For a small person, it was almost hell-like torture.

Cyber ​​destroyed the lives of the two little men in an unreasonable way, but this destruction was essentially a kind of salvation. When he realized that there was a more fierce and terrifying existence around him, most people’s The reaction is to stay away from those dangerous people, and then live his life carefully.

Kevin is the same, but his trouble with Ed is that he knows how the Shadow Warrior Alliance deals with traitors. He still remembers when he was a child, every time his father had a conversation with those magical guys, he would sit alone. Quietly smoking in the dark, he could not understand his father's worries at that time, but now, when the heavy pressure was on his shoulders, he suddenly understood that his father's worries were fear!

Although Cyber ​​has repeatedly emphasized that he will not betray them, but what happened that night is nothing to hide from people. Why did Thompson go out with them, but only returned 2 of them?If Cyber ​​killed Thompson, why did he let them go?

Sometimes, killing does not require a definite reason. For deterrence, maintenance, or even a bad mood, it will become a reason for the weak to die.

Cyber ​​is a complete bastard, but at least he is right in saying that he can't put his future on the kindness of others, especially when facing a group of people who can never be kind.

"Ding Dong"

The doorbell that suddenly remembered awakened Kevin from his cranky thoughts. He jumped up from the bed, copied the dagger in his left hand and the pistol in his right hand, took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.He moved slowly in the darkness, leaning against the wall and walking behind the door, he lowered his voice.

"Who?"

"Open the door, it's me, Ed!"

Kevin breathed a sigh of relief, he was about to open the door, and Ed outside the door suddenly said, "Open the door, Kevin, today's pizza is great, I'm drooling."

The young man's outstretched hand stopped in place at this moment.

Ed went to buy obviously not pizza!He is warning him this way!

There was a flash of fear in his eyes, and his shoulders began to tremble, but he still suppressed the surging fear forcibly, and replied in a low voice, "Wait, I am wearing pants."

He could feel his tongue hitting his teeth, and he lay silently on the ground, glanced out from the door, three pairs of feet.

Damn it!Damn it!!

Kevin knew that he could not panic right now, he patted it, made a walking motion, and then took a deep breath, adjusted the direction of the muzzle in his hand at the door, and pointed it vaguely at the head of one of them. Position, and then twist the door lock, when the lock is twisted to the deepest...

"Get down! Ed!"

"boom"

The bullet passed through the fragile wooden door and hit an unprepared Kagemusha soldier. It hit him in the chest. The hapless guy was pushed back two steps, and then fell off the steps. The gun in his hand was on the ground. The collision brought out a series of noises.

The moment after the shot was fired, the wooden door burst open. The remaining man kicked the front of the wooden door and kicked out Kevin, who was holding the gun in both hands. It was a man with a visor and wearing black combat. The tall opponent who served him, like a predator, rushed towards Kevin who fell to the ground.

Trained killers and young people who have only received simple training, no matter in fighting skills, weapons and equipment, or even spiritual will, they all occupy a complete advantage. Kevin just took aim, he kicked the pistol away. Going out, the guy who couldn't see his face touched his belt, and a dagger appeared in his hand.

Holding the dagger instead, he looked at Kevin who climbed up from the ground with his arms in his arms. This guy moved his arms, and his eyes under the combat visor showed undisguised killing intent.

"traitor!"

"I'm not!"

Kevin yelled, grabbed the black short knife with his movable left hand, and stood opposite him with a trembling whole body. He was about to collapse. The super sensory blessing brought by the adrenaline burst made him gulp quickly. Breathing, and the black-clothed man on the opposite side is like a cat teasing a mouse, turning in circles, kicking debris on the ground from time to time.

He could see that the kid in front of him was a coward. With this method, he could destroy his will bit by bit. His teammates were overcast, but wearing a body armor, he should only be slightly injured. I'll be back soon. Thinking of this, there was a grinning smile on his face under the visor.

"On the day you betrayed, you should have guessed the result."

"boom"

The two people collided, and the short knife in Kevin's hand flew out in an instant. He was hit by the person in front of him 7 times within 3 seconds. The last punch almost smashed him into the air. Go out, full of blood, fall to the ground, embarrassed

The guy seemed to have finished his activity. He shrugged and drew the pistol from his waist.

"Goodbye, traitor!"

"boom"

The hot bullet missed, Kevin shook his head and saw two arms rushing out from behind the big man. Panicked Ed blushed and threw the big man to the ground with all his strength. Trying hard to restrain the big guy, he screamed.

"Run! Kevin, run!"

The blood of the young man covered his eyes at this moment, Ed's scream seemed to wake up the switch in his mind, he ran away, but when he rushed to the door, he saw the mask thrown aside by the big man , He suddenly thought of Saibo's funny monkey mask.

"Faced with a mad dog who wants to bite you, it’s useless for you to escape. The moment you turn around, the dog knows that you are afraid of it, and it will chase you until it satisfies its inner heart. An arrogant thought."

"Do you know how to deal with a mad dog?"

"You have to lift the stick in your hand, face it towards its head, and smash a stick fiercely. As long as you hit it hard enough to make it hurt enough, it will whimper and run away with its tail sandwiched. It will be afraid. You, this fear will stay in its heart. The next time it sees you, even if you don't have a stick in your hand, it will walk around you, understand?"

What Cyber ​​once said rolled in his mind, and he turned his head.

"boom"

With a gunshot, Kevin's body covered in blood stagnated at this moment. He saw Ed. His good brother fell to the ground with a large blood on his chest. He looked back at Kevin with difficulty.

"Run... don't stay..."

The sound finally died. At this moment, a string named Sense burst into Kevin’s head. He picked up the chair next to him and screamed at the big man who had just gotten up. He smashed his head. He grabbed the dagger lying on the ground and pierced the man in front of him with a single knife. His eyes were red.

That's not blood...that's tears.

"Ah!"

What happened to the little guy?Don't the little people have the right to live?!

Five minutes later, a devastated and bloody Kevin walked out of the house. He went downstairs like a walking dead. He saw the killer who was breathing hard on the stairs. He was not dead yet, but he was injured. The guy saw him too, Kevin shook his head, walked past him, and raised the gun in his hand casually, against his head.

"boom"
