Chapter 221: 5. Damn "Old Friends"

This "cross-border" bar is very quirky, it doesn't look like a good place, but there is no doubt that the bartender is just a personal class, not a devil or something like that imagined by Cyber .
The indestructible Edman alloy bullet directly penetrated his head, splashing those disgusting things everywhere, leaving the whole bar stained with a bright red gloss.
"Uh, so, I hate shooting at such close range..."
Cyber ​​put the pistol back in his pocket, reached out and took a paper towel from the bar, wiped the blood stains on his hand, and Selena, who was sitting on the side, seemed to be terrified until Cyber ​​reached out to help her wipe the blood off her face. After that, she jumped up suddenly, took Cyber's hand, pointed to the air, opened her mouth, but was speechless.
"what?"
Cyber ​​raised his head, then stayed in place, "Watfak..."
In the air, where an illusory shadow floated, clearly it was the dead barman, who could still see his twisted face, he violently gestured a towards Cyber, as if still cursing him, and then just Swallowed directly from the air by an invisible force.
Cyber ​​bowed his head and the bartender's body was still lying on the bar counter. This unrealistic scene made him feel an indescribable maliciousness. He took a deep breath and grabbed Selena's arm toward the bar entrance. Go,
"Go...this place...damn it!"
By the time they turned around, the wooden door of the bar had been pushed open. A man wearing a black trench coat, wearing a gentleman hat, and a cane in his hand walked slowly into the bar. He raised his head and glanced at Cyber ​​and Selena,
"Oh, no, don't confuse me with those ghosts, they are far worse than me..."
"Boom"
A pale thunder ray crossed the sky and reflected the figure of the person walking into the bar on the ground, as Seeb saw clearly, the shadow of that person... that was a twisted, gritty, unspeakable shadow , Long horns, triangular tail, and wings closed behind.
Even if the shadow just passed away, Cyber ​​had figured out some things.
Professor Charles and the Saber-toothed Tiger Victor have always told him that the reality of this world is beyond his imagination, and now he finally sees a deeper layer of truth under the world... that creepy layer.
"But come sit here?"
The man sat on the table in the bar and reached out to take off his gentleman hat. It matched the old voice. It was an old man's face, pale hair, full of wrinkles, and a little muddy pair. The ordinary eyes are like the old men everywhere on the street.
Faced with the invitation, Cyber ​​hesitated for a few seconds, and walked over. His arm was held tightly by Selena. He turned his head and saw the worried look on Selena's face. He nodded to her. Nodded, then walked over and sat opposite the old man.
His gaze fell on the cane that the old man put on the side, it was a crystal cane with a whole body, and the top was carved into a skull, lifelike, no...Saibo felt that it was a real The skull, he could even hear the screams from the skull.
"Good walking stick."
Cyber ​​looked back and looked at the old man in front of him. He took a deep breath and reached for the cigar box from his pocket and put it on the table.
"Do you want one?"
The old man glanced at the cigar, his eyes showing a disdainful look, "Stupid enjoyment, you used to use it to relieve stress? Did I make you feel stressed? Cyber ​​Hawk, don't worry, in this World, I won’t hurt someone easily..."
His eyes fell on Cyber, and soon showed a look of interest, and then took out a delicate pocket watch and looked at the time,
"I can see that you have many questions. Ask, Cyber ​​Hawk. A soul can keep me for a long time. We have enough time to talk."
Cyber ​​ordered a cigar. He urgently needed something to disperse his pressure. After a few seconds of silence, he raised his head, looked at the old man in front of him, and asked,
"These eyes?"
"I gave it to you, no doubt."
The old man opened his hands, "This is a kind of... well, an investment that allows you to reap some first, and then we can carry out deeper cooperation, how? These two eyes that can see the boundaries between life and death, you still satisfied?"
"Life and death..."
Cyber ​​touched the corner of his eyes, "So it turns out, then the next question, who are you? Why me?"
The question didn't seem to exceed the mysterious guest's guess. He reached out and tapped on the table, as if it was a signal, he looked at Cyber,
"This question, let an "old friend" answer you."
"Come on"
The door of the bar was pushed open again, and a familiar figure walked into the bar at a weird pace. He looked around and saw Saber sitting there. He reached out and stroked his messy hair with satisfaction. , A grin on the corner of his mouth, the white paint on his face and the strange blush, and the scar on the corner of his mouth became alive, his eyes covered with dark black oil paint flashed out A smile of satisfaction.
"Look at who this is... Dear Little Cyber, who has disappeared for more than 3 years, do you still miss me?"
"Since the last time I lost the game, I...but missed you so much!"
Cyber's body suddenly stiffened, and Selena, sitting at the bar, even exclaimed.
"Little... clown! You... are you alive?"
"No, beautiful lady, I'm dead. I was blown to death... The bones were crushed, and the death was terrible."
A clueless expression appeared on the clown's face. He grunted and dragged a chair from the side. He pulled out an unpleasant collision on the ground and walked to the table of Cyber. He reached out and shook before Cyber. Shake, then snapped his fingers,
"But I am happy to find that death is just the beginning of another journey, and I am honored to have found a new collaborator... So I am back, ah, the world is changing slowly and it’s unbelievable, how? ? Are you not happy to see your old friend?"
Cyber ​​stared at the face in front of him that he would never forget, but unexpectedly, he didn't seem to feel fear. It seemed that the clown was still alive, something that didn't make people feel surprised.
"Where are you from?"
This question caused a dull expression on the clown's face. He scratched his head and then showed a malicious smile.
"Where else?"
He spread his hands and fell on the chair in a paralyzed posture, playing with his fingers,
"Please, do you think a guy like me can go to heaven? Of course hell!"
He pursed his lips and reached out and patted on Saber’s shoulder.
"I have to say, is actually very lively, they all are eager to hope you go down early so that they can give you a grand "welcome party", yes, I am not kidding, they really are So planned."
"Oh, can I kill them again?"
Cyber ​​turned his head to look at the burnt black handprint left on his shoulder. He glanced at the interested old man, and then at the clown playing with his fingers.
"So, did you "recommend" me?"
The clown raised his head and showed a warm smile, "Yes, no thanks!"
"Then I am really honored..."
Cyber ​​said with a stiff smile, he looked at the old man and turned back to the clown. "So, is this your new employer? Would you like to introduce me?"
The old man raised his finger at this moment, preventing the clown who was eager to try to explain further, his finger shook in the air,
"TheJoker is my new jailer. I have to say that his talent in this area is unbelievable. He is very good at helping me solve some troubles. 4 years have made my gains 5 times higher than before. , He is a good employee. When I needed some bounty hunters to help me deal with troubles, he recommended you to me..."
He looked at Cyber, with a smile on his face,
"I have been watching you, Cyber, at the base of the dam, on Sanli Island, in New York, in Las Vegas... You are a near-perfect candidate, the only problem is that it seems that besides me, there are Others are following you, which is not good."
"Your health is broken, right? Modern stupid medicine can't solve your problem, but I can, it's easy... But we also said before, this is an investment, and I want to put pressure on you With more investment, you have to let me see your value."
The old man finished speaking, and the clown answered,
"My boss needs something, don’t worry, we didn’t let you do bad things, that thing belonged to him, but was stolen by his less honest former employee, we need you to take it back as In exchange, the boss will help you solve the troubles you are facing...all the troubles!"
Cyber ​​nodded, not agreeing or vetoing, he just looked at the clown playfully,
"Why are you doing this? It stands to reason that you should hate me for dying. You should watch me die, instead of suggesting that your boss rescued me and gave me special eyes."
"Come on, man!"
The clown laughed, "What kind of grudges do we have? I wasn't interested in you at all. You were very inserted in the game between me and the big bat. You see, now I am "living" in this way. This is actually very good, because I have time to continue playing with him... This time, I will not allow you to intervene... You better not intervene!"
Cyber ​​rolled his eyes,
"I don't really understand you guys, why are you holding Batman dead?"
"Because he made me complete!"
The clown's face suddenly became cruel, he reached out and grabbed the collar of Cyber, a special force not belonging to humans was scattered around, and the temperature dropped rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"You don't understand this at all, you only know the killing and destruction bastard! The last time the game was destroyed by you, this time it won't! Have you heard? No more intervention!"
"I will continue to play with him like this until eternity, until the last dogma in his heart is completely broken, he will fall into the abyss completely, and I... I will reap a sinful soul that is perfect to be added.. . That will be my first and last perfect soul...the perfect collectible!"
"Gosh, his sense of upholding justice made me feel vomiting. Do you think his persistence is meaningful? Look at you, like him, you must pretend that your life is reasonable, pretend this experience Everything is meaningful, but it’s just that you don’t admit it. After the nightmarish past, just like other people who have the same experience, you have been driven crazy, admit it..."
The clown was like a real lunatic, shaking the collar of Cyber ​​by shaking wildly, "Admit it, you are driven into madness! You poor worms!"
"Okay, my warden, you are too noisy, go do your business..."
The old man waved his hand, and the figure of the clown faded away. He seemed to turn around and walk into a place completely surrounded by fire and ashes. Before completely disappearing, he turned to look at Cyber, and stretched out. Fingers, full of malicious strokes on his neck.
Those grieving souls and creepy scenes matched this smile, which made Cyber ​​all a little speechless, until the illusions all disappeared, and the old man chuckled,
"He is a great employee, really... except for some stubborn hobbies, but it is not worth mentioning compared to what he brought...Forget him, Cyber, let's say The thing between us."
