Chapter 145 Why?

Before the departure announcement was finished, Shi Sanwen, Zhang San, and Lieba had already walked out of the small trailer.

In the view of their opponent...that is, Newman, who has been tracking them all the way, this move is undoubtedly a thoughtful and cautious performance: first, encountering a surprise attack in a narrow trailer will restrict their own movements; second, the three people in the car There is definitely a gap in their ability levels. If they are attacked at the same time, it will be difficult to take care of their companions; thirdly, the field of vision outside the car is wider, and they will have more sufficient reaction time when encountering long-range attacks.

In short, with normal thinking and analysis, walking out of the trailer is a very correct and inevitable judgment. Newman would have made the same choice.

However, the idea on the other side was not that complicated - Shi Sanwen just didn't want his trailer and Xinrui to be damaged.

As for Zhang San and Lieba, to be honest... it's not a big deal for Shi Sanwen that these two are really dead; in Lao Shi's eyes, they are just two passers-by who haven't appeared for a long time in his long life. That's all, if Tianyi hadn't asked him to help, he wouldn't have gone with these two people.

That's what happens when a person lives too long.

He understands better than anyone else that most people in the world will eventually leave him, so he doesn't put too much emotion into these people; he chooses to live in isolation because he doesn't want to have contact with others.

"The door has been closed, and there are no abnormalities in the safety monitoring. The train will start in ten seconds, ten, nine, eight..."

One minute passed in the blink of an eye, and the start countdown sounded on the radio.

Due to the use of "quasi-jump engine" technology, when the Orient Express starts, the passengers inside will not have the feeling of being "suddenly pulled" like when taking ordinary transportation. Instead, there will be a short and subtle feeling. discomfort (so the broadcast does not require passengers to sit still and hold up the armrests when driving); and after the initial discomfort has passed, the environment in the car will be as stable as a rooted building, and passengers will not It will produce the slightest sense of "being in a moving vehicle".

Therefore, at this time when the train was about to depart, Shi San was not the only one to ask them. There were many other car owners in the "parking compartment" who also got out of their cars.

After all, it is a seven-and-a-half-hour journey. Even if there are certain restrictions on the areas where passengers at all levels can move, the operator will certainly not stipulate that they can only stay in one car, such as the smoking car, bar car, or buffet car. ...This Orient Express has everything you need, and the space of each carriage is not small; these "service carriages" are generally divided into three floors. The bottom floor is the aisle and staff area, and the upper two floors are the service area. .

Of course, this parking compartment does not provide other "services" other than parking for passengers who drive up, so the three floors above and below are equivalent to a three-dimensional parking lot.

Shi Sanwen asked that they were on the bottom floor at the moment. People from the two floors above, including other carriages in the front and back, would pass by here, so the flow of people was very dense.

In this bustling crowd, anyone could be a federal agent pretending to be a federal agent. As long as the person was not a person with abilities or a mutant, even Shi Sanwen would have a hard time identifying the other person's identity.

According to Zhang San's idea, if he was the pursuer, it would obviously be a good idea to find a few non-ability agents to sneak into the crowd and launch a surprise attack with targeted weapons.

However... Newman's routine is not like that.

When the train started moving, he got out of his car blatantly and approached Shi Sanwen's parking space on foot.

Shi Sanwen, Zhang San and Lieba also noticed each other's presence in their own way, and all turned their attention to him.

In this way, with their eyes having already met, Newman walked to the parking space for the three of them and stood still leisurely.

"You have two choices." Newman said this straight to the point in his dead voice.

"I don't make a choice." But before Shi Sanwen heard the options, he interrupted the other party and pointed at Hunter Ba, "If you have something to do, you can talk to him. We won't participate."

"Yes." Zhang San also answered, "No need to talk."

"Okay." Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Newman didn't even say a word to save himself. He just looked in the direction of Shi Sanwen and Zhang San, and then said, "BACK..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Sanwen and Zhang San disappeared suddenly.

In this regard, Hunter Ba was not surprised at all. He just looked at Newman coldly and asked in a feeble tone: "I might as well ask...if they are dead?"

"I'm not 100 percent sure, but I can tell you that the probability of them dying is very high." Newman replied.

"No way... Could it be that your ability is to teleport people to hell just by saying a word?" Lieba asked again.

"I have no obligation to respond to your temptations one by one." Newman did not further answer Hunter Tyrant's question, but said, "I will be captured or die with them. Give me an answer."

"Ha..." Hunter Ba laughed, "Brother, if you don't tell me your abilities, how can I be sure that those two guys are dead? If I can't be sure... who is willing to surrender? What if you are a liar? What about mine?"

"Then just think I'm lying to you." But Newman showed no sign of letting go, "BA..."

"Hey -" Seeing that the other party was about to attack again, Hunter Ba quickly shouted out at the top of his lungs. His voice was hoarse due to severe lack of water... To describe it, it was like sandpaper grinding a cactus. Just listening to it makes me want to cry out, "No! Let's discuss it later!"

Newman originally just wanted to scare the other party, because after observing the enemy in the past few days, he also knew that the hunter was extremely weak without eating, drinking or sleeping, and there was a high chance that he could be captured alive.

Before Shi Sanwen and Zhang San expressed their stance just now, Newman originally planned to "send away" Shi Sanwen alone, but since two people said there was no need to talk, he didn't care about killing one more.

"Are you going to surrender as long as I prove they are dead?" Newman pretended to hesitate for a few seconds and then asked.

"Yeah." Hunter Ba nodded.

Newman touched his chin, pretended to think for a moment, and then continued: "Although I can have a federal agent in another place immediately prove through a video call that those two people are dead, I guess... it's just In this way, you will not believe me, and even if there is video evidence, you will suspect that this is a fake video that I made in advance."

"Yeah." Hunter Ba nodded again. It wasn't that he didn't want to reply with words other than "um", but his throat still hurt at the moment.

"It seems... I really have to explain my abilities to you." Newman continued.

In fact, Newman didn't mind revealing his abilities from the beginning. So far, he has told many arrest targets what his abilities are, but none of those who have listened have been able to successfully escape after learning the relevant information. .

"Yeah." Hunter Ba continued to nod, waiting for the bleeding from his vocal cords to moisten his throat.

Newman didn't show off, he immediately said: "I can make others go back to 'one day ago'."

"Huh?" Hunter Ba changed his tone, but still didn't open his mouth.

"That is to say... a person's physical condition, geographical location, etc. (the 'etc' here naturally includes the person's belongings and clothing) are returned to 24 hours ago." Newman continued, "This The ability does not involve the memory of the target, nor does it have anything to do with the person's absolute coordinates in the universe (the rotation and revolution of the earth, the expansion of the universe, etc.)... In short, this is a very useful ability, as long as it is used properly With time and good use of the resources at my disposal, I can easily defeat even a very strong opponent.”

He paused and continued: "Just like your companion who can control shit... I was also surprised when I saw the surveillance video of Jiang Ying being killed by him. I was shocked that there is such a thing in this world. There are people with super powers that are unknown to the Federation; but it is not difficult for me to really formulate a plan to deal with such people...

"I have followed you for several days. By analyzing your travel route, I can easily guess that you want to come to Istanbul and take the Orient Express through the Black Sea Theater to head west, so I sent people to keep an eye on the passengers on the train very early. List, strictly check the whereabouts of each ticket.

"The results are as expected. Last night, one of you got three tickets and three supporting fake documents through a local illegal middleman. When I learned the train frequency you were taking, my plan was fine. Implementation started...

"The departure time of the Orient Express is 5:40 pm. Twenty-four hours ago, that is, yesterday at 5:40, you happened to stop at a small restaurant in the suburbs for dinner. This is God's help... If the three of you were in the car at the time and the car was moving, it would be more difficult to calculate your exact coordinates after 'BACK', but now..."

When he said this, Newman reached into his coat pocket and took out a mobile phone.

"Last night, I sent people to evacuate the small restaurant and all irrelevant personnel within a one kilometer radius." Newman said as he began to flip through the address book on his phone. "A team of more than a hundred people worked all night. The restaurant was razed to the ground and a special pure alloy room was assembled on the spot; the room was divided into two floors, one large and one small, both inside and outside. Both floors were designed to be sealed on six sides, and the inner layer was equipped with intelligent monitoring Probes, as well as pressure, infrared and other sensing devices, once a target enters it, the pulse bomb at the top of the room will detonate within 0.2 seconds, and the explosion of the pulse bomb will trigger the nitroglycerin in the eight corners of the room. and micro nuclear bombs. After these rounds of explosions, cracks will inevitably appear in the walls of the inner room. At this time, the strong sulfuric acid in the outer room will pour into the inner layer through those gaps..."

After saying this, Newman stopped flipping through his address book and selected a number to make a video call.

"Now... I think I have explained it clearly enough." Newman said, then turned the phone screen directly to Hunter and continued, "You can talk to the agent in charge over there and ask him to Look at the situation at the scene, so you can know that what I said is true."

Just when Newman finished these words, the mobile video connection was successfully connected. Hunter looked at the screen and was silent for three seconds. Then, he looked up at Newman, raised his hand, extended his index finger, and moved his index finger vertically downwards, waving it gently a few times, making a "circle" gesture. .

At this moment, Newman first felt a trace of doubt, followed closely by a sharply expanding uneasiness.

He followed the other party's instructions, turned the phone screen back and looked at the screen.

Later, he discovered that the person holding the person in charge of the scene's mobile phone and his video was not a federal agent, but... Shi Sanwen.

When Shi Sanwen saw Newman's face, he didn't say anything else and said directly: "I have already moved your box for setting off fireworks. If you send Hunter Ba here now, he will only come here." It’s just an open space, so...it’s up to you to figure out what to do next.”

After that, he hung up the video call.

Newman put down the phone with a deathly pale face (because his face looked like this, so there was no change in his expression), his eyes flashed in thought for a few seconds, and finally he shook his head and squeezed out six words through his teeth: "It's really How can this be unreasonable..."

Seeing this, Hunter Ba laughed, and conveyed his sarcasm to the other party with a shrug of his shoulders and spread his hands.

"Forget it..." Newman ignored Hunter's provocation and just continued, "Since your companion has become so strong, I have nothing to say." He paused for half a second, then changed the subject, " But you also heard that just now, he unabashedly betrayed you through the video... Although I originally speculated this way, but under the premise that he personally told me that 'the net alloy room has been destroyed', I naturally didn't Maybe if he uses 'BACK' on you again to make you escape, he will be giving you into my hands."

At this time, Lieba's voice finally calmed down a little, and he responded: "Not necessarily... We are one-on-one now, and your ability has been exposed. Although you can use it as a last resort, before you Send me away when you are about to lose, but before that, why do you think you can definitely win against me?"

"Hmph..." Newman sneered upon hearing this, "That's a good question."

As soon as the word "good" came out of his mouth, he raised his right hand high and snapped his fingers.

The next second, all the passengers in the entire parking car except Newman and Hunter...all stopped.

These "pedestrians" who had not even glanced this way not long ago, turned around neatly and took out their guns almost at the same moment. Hundreds of gun muzzles on three floors were all locked in within two seconds. On the hunting tyrant.

"Although the probability is slim, I still considered the possibility that the person sent away by BACK would survive or send some kind of message before and after death, so... I chose to do it on the moving train." When the surrounding people After the agents collectively displayed their guns, Newman continued, "On this mobile vehicle with a speed of nearly 400 kilometers per hour, even if you have other accomplices who have received the distress message, they cannot come to support you; in addition, in order to ensure Today's train will not be delayed, and in order to give myself more advantages in possible battles, the entire train today...are all plainclothes agents arranged by me in advance."

After saying this, Newman took a few steps back to keep himself away from the area where the fire would be concentrated, and then said: "Why do I think I will definitely win you? Ha... That's probably the reason."
