death of hope

Chapter 56 "Flying Windfall" (56) The Hermit

Although this guy is a scientist and not religious, he believes in a rather strange superstition of his own creation,

The old cowboy thought that washing his lucky jeans would bring misfortune, so no matter how others persuaded him, he would not change or wash them.

According to Black Cat, this person has never received any systematic education, and he is self-taught through online information. Because a certain paper was published in the authoritative scientific journal "Semiconductor", he became famous for a while.
The most precious thing these days is talent. The headhunters of big companies have offered high prices to hire them. This eccentric guy refused to accept them, saying that he did not want his research to be restricted by control.

The old cowboy worked as an assistant researcher at Yorktown University in his early years, because of a private experiment that caused a violent explosion. Although the principal appreciated his talent, he was expelled under pressure.

After that, he continued to conduct dangerous chemical experiments at home, and was sent to a mental hospital by his unbearable family members. Because he couldn't stand the torture of electric shock therapy, he destroyed the cage with homemade tools and fled to Heiyuan Town to settle down. Later, he was pulled by the ape-man brother into the organization.

As soon as he got close, he realized the power of the lucky pair of jeans. It seemed that what the black cat said was true. Anna pinched her nose and nearly vomited out of the smoke.

Although the old cowboy looked decadent and sloppy, he was still quite kind. He sympathized with the troubled young couple in front of him and gave Roy a box of his newly developed GPS signal jammer.

Carrying this small keychain-like thing on your body can prevent you from being tracked and located. Its ingenuity lies in its precise interception and will not interfere with the signal transmission of other devices.

"This gadget can help you avoid most of the tracking methods, but don't be careless. No one can escape the control of the company these days. As long as you log in to your personal information or be photographed by a dedicated camera, the server can pass through the Internet. Data comparison found you."

The black cat is looking for something among the piles of equipment:
"Old cowboy, is my weapon repaired?"

"It's fixed. It's in my drawer. I have to remind you, little kitty, you've been getting more and more ruthless recently. If you kill someone, kill him. Don't hang up the corpse every time."

"It's fine if it's not on the billboard, those bastards are selling children! Using living people as livestock! They deserve it! Give me the things."

"Hey, young man, it's too ostentatious, I don't know how to restrain myself."

The old cowboy murmured, took out a pistol with a strange shape from the drawer, and did not forget to say a word before handing it over:
"Don't forget, masked vigilantes are not executioners. Everything we do is to make everyone live a better life."

The black cat took the pistol: "Okay! You are really old, mother-in-law."

"Don't bother me, little cat, don't be blurred by blood, violence is addictive and it will turn us into what we hate the most."

Roy remembered the previous conversation in the bar and said:

"Miss Susan, do you still remember the color of the little sparrow that was killed by a toy gun back then?"

The black cat froze for two seconds, then smiled:
"Grey," she said.

"Good boy, your soul is not lost." The old cowboy nodded in relief.

"It's getting late." The ape man glanced at his watch, "Go back, since you are old acquaintances, you should be their bodyguard."

The black cat played with the pistol, pressing bullets into the magazine: "Boss, to be honest, I'm better at sneaking and assassination than being a bodyguard."

The ape man seemed a little helpless: "No way, we are short of manpower now, pay attention to the new information, there will be new tasks for you in the next few days."

The black cat saluted mischievously:

"Yes, sir!" (Yes Sir!)
Heiyuan Town is damp and dark, and those ugly mutated creatures are also scary, but when I think that I may never come back after leaving, I feel a little nostalgic.

When he lifted the manhole cover and climbed up the ladder to the ground, Roy was hurt by the sunlight. He covered Anna's eyes with a handkerchief, and put his hands under his armpits to hug her up.

The black cat was very envious: "It's so gentle, it would be great if Donnie could treat me like this."

"Fatty is very careful. He has many advantages, and you will discover them slowly."

"Hey, you guys like to hug each other's feet." The black cat took off its mask and turned into Miss Susan.

"You can listen to phone messages, and you can also read previous unread messages, but never send them, so as not to reveal your location."

"Understood." Roy hung the anti-tracking jammer given by the old cowboy on the communicator. After turning it on, he was connected to several messages:
"31 missed calls, [-] unread messages, most of which are from Donnie... It's all my fault, causing everyone to get involved in trouble."

"They're fine. There are people in the bank. The money has been converted into gold. You don't have to worry about being tracked for now. But, you can't stay where you were before. You can't go home now, and you can't go to the old age." The place is partying...

Damn it!It's a pity, I still like the shabby bar. "

Susan stared at the communicator screen, swiping and said:
"I contacted Downey through encrypted means. They moved the gold to a rental house in a nearby block. They also moved all the guns and ammunition in the basement. Our anti-tracking experts are watching nearby. We can't do it yet. Let’s meet, let’s make sure it’s safe first.”

"It makes sense, let's go do something else first, whoops, my car is still parked here!" Roy took out the car keys in surprise, and was stopped by Susan.

"You are stupid! What if you are installed with a tracker?"

"The old cowboy gave me a jammer, and the GPS can't locate us."

"Your anti-reconnaissance awareness is too poor. The license plate number has long been exposed, and it can be tracked through traffic cameras."

"Then what should I do? Personal information will be automatically uploaded when taking the bus or railway, so you can't walk to do things!"

Susan raised her eyebrows: "I'll borrow one."

"Borrow? What do you mean?" Anna was puzzled, but Roy already had a bad feeling.

"You'll find out soon enough."

Susan walked along the street, and fell in love with a brand new car - Swift brand RX4000 gasoline-electric hybrid car, and it was a red limited edition. Its owner must have cared for the paint and waxed it.

"I like this, that's all."

Susan took out the wireless key cracking tool from her pouch, and the car door quickly opened automatically.

Roy and Anna were stunned: "Uh... This... Isn't this stealing a car..."

"There's so much nonsense, are you going to get up? Or do you two want to walk?"

The two looked at each other, and sat down in the back row:

"Oh, what a soft seat, with a massage function. Luxury cars are different. I said Susan, you are so reckless, the apes don't know."

"Hey, don't tell the boss about this, if he finds out that I used the old cowboy's tools to steal the car, he won't be so angry."

"Scary woman, Donnie will have nothing to eat in the future." Roy curled his lips and helped Anna put on her seat belt: "Be careful, I have a bad feeling."

Sure enough, as he expected, it wasn't Susan's own car anyway, and it didn't matter if she was fined and deducted points for violating traffic rules.
He didn't hide from the manhole cover at all, and ran over the speed bump at a speed of 60 miles. Fortunately, the suspension system of the car works well, otherwise he would have to knock all the shit out.

"Hey, drive slowly! We're going to throw up!"

"Sorry, I haven't driven for a long time. It just so happens that there is no traffic jam today, so I have a good time."

(What a crazy woman.)
"I can't help it... Do whatever you want!"
