Zhang Lisheng had just learned from his recent literature class that tossing a glove at the other party meant a challenge to a duel in western culture. He said softly, "If you're dead, then it's a duel.
Now that you're not dead, my attack on you just now means that I must save the girl that you're hunting. I'm willing to fight for that. Moreover, I have the ability to fight you, don't I? "
"Your power isn't powerful but you have unlimited potential. Moreover, you seem to have learned how to unleash your power to the maximum. I don't want to kill an enemy like you just because of something small.
However, the hunt can't be interrupted.
How about this, that man's liver and lungs are pierced by his ribs and he's dying slowly. The hunt will be considered completed when he's dead. I'll leave and let you bring the girl away.
You should be able to tell that the girl's limbs are only broken. Her life won't be in danger even if we wait for a few hours … "
"But she might become disabled if she's not treated in time for too long," Zhang Lisheng said expressionlessly while lying on the ground.
"Oh, that's true. However, that's my limit. Sometimes, it's hard to satisfy both sides. This is a stalemate …" The voice in the dark replied in a deep voice.
As he spoke, Mountoad opened its mouth wide again and spat its gigantic tongue out. However, it did not attack Dr. Fracture who was in the dark this time. Instead, it swallowed Herrick who was dying.
"I've completed the hunt for you, the stalemate is broken," Zhang Lisheng said coldly.
"Oh, oh, that's an unexpected quick-wittedness. I can't believe I forgot that you're one of the Darkwalkers too. Moreover, you're obviously as cruel as me," Dr. Fracture's voice went far away in the dark.
In the distance where Zhang Lisheng could no longer hear, it chuckled weirdly and continued, "It's just that, my young friend, you obviously don't understand how much of a burden it is for a Darkwalker to have extra feelings.
What does it mean to you if the scariest serial killer in New York who you've attacked found out about your real identity … "
Zhang Lisheng did not get out of the wizard worm's body recklessly after Dr. Fracture walked far away. Instead, he took out his phone strenuously and called Sullo.
"Hey, Lisheng, are you on your way home already?"
"Uncle Lavin, I'm with … with Michelle. She's severely injured and she's in an alley not far from Dan Souza Butcher Shop. I … I don't know the exact location but I'll keep my phone switched on.
Come quick, Michelle needs emergency treatment, come quick … "
"Calm down, calm down kid. I'll get the ambulance and the police here soon. Don't be nervous, keep the signal open." Sullo's deep voice came from the other end of the phone after a pause of one to two seconds.
As an officer of NYPD's Major Crimes Division, he displayed excellent professionalism when his family's condition was unknown.
The police force in Brooklyn was abundant. Not only that, the better the security of the community, the more police cars were patrolling. A minute or two later, Zhang Lisheng could clearly hear the high-pitched siren.
He then crawled out from under Mountoad's body carefully and chanted witchcraft incantation to get the wizard worm to release the breath in its body. It then jumped into his backpack after shrinking.
Just when he was done, Zhang Lisheng heard Sullo's calm voice coming from the phone, "Lisheng, how are you?"
"I heard the siren, the police should be far away from us …"
A series of hurried footsteps came as he was speaking. Subsequently, a few glaring torchlights shone on Zhang Lisheng's face.
"Don't move, we're the New York police …"
"I'm the one who called the police, I'm the one who called Officer Lavin. Quick, save Michelle …"
"Put your gun down, he should be the kid that Officer Lavin mentioned.
Don't be nervous kid, you're doing great …
Sh * t, f * cking sh * t, it's … it's Doctor Fracture's logo, it's Doctor Fracture's standard on the wall … "
The term 'Folding the doctor' seemed to have some kind of magic as all of the police officers at the scene were lost for a moment.
Somebody shouted all of a sudden, "This … this kid escaped from Doctor Fracture, he might have even saved his sister. Perhaps … perhaps he saw the devil's real face."
All of the police officers had their eyes on Zhang Lisheng's face at that moment. Unfortunately, the only answer they got was a calm sentence, "I heard someone calling for help faintly and ran here. I didn't see anything."
The experienced police officers looked disappointed. Only a young police officer said loudly in excitement, "Even if that's the case, we'll record a detailed statement for you …"
"Don't rush, rookie. No matter what we're going to do, we'll have to do it after this kid gets checked at the hospital and his parents must be there," Unfortunately, his suggestion was soon rejected by the police officer with the highest rank at the scene.
Later on, the old police officer with white hair ordered his underling that he was familiar with, "Nick, come see if this lady can be treated urgently, the ambulance is too slow.
Warren, inform the headquarters to send the best trace identification expert … "
Soon, the police cordon was pulled up and the police officers began to work in an orderly manner. Meanwhile, Zhang Lisheng sat in the police car with a blanket on. He was accompanied by a middle-aged policewoman while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
"Kid, have a cup of hot coffee to calm yourself down. You're safe now …" The policewoman, who had undergone psychological counseling training, whispered softly with a gentle expression. She wanted to help the young man who had witnessed a terrible crime to relax.
However, the response she got was only Zhang Lisheng drinking his coffee calmly without saying a word.
After a few minutes, the ambulance finally arrived at the alley with a long beeping sound.
"Kid, the ambulance is here. It'll send you to the hospital. You'll get better care there," the policewoman said and opened the door for Zhang Lisheng.
"Thank you," Zhang Lisheng finally said two words and walked out of the car.
Just as he stepped out of the police car, a dazzling flash of light suddenly lit up in the corner of the alley on a cold snowy night.
Noticing that there were reporters taking photos, the police commander at the crime scene roared, "Sh * t! Why are those reporters here so fast? They even sneaked into the cordon!
They're interfering with law enforcement! Oh God, someone in our police station must have tipped them off!
Quick, get these annoying flies out of the cordon! Tell them that we're handling a case, not a fashion show in Times Square … "
"Yes, sir." The police officers who got the commander's order began to chase the reporters who were hiding out of the cordon as usual.
The reporter who had been waiting for Zhang Lisheng to get a close-up shot of his entire body when he got off the police car was chased out of the scene. He rushed to write his article as soon as he could and published his exclusive report on the New York Current Events website.
Although Zhang Lisheng's face was meticulously blurred in the news photo and could not be identified at all, his skinny body could still be seen clearly under the high magnification lens.
Coupled with the headline 'Who is he? Dr. Fracture finally met his match, a calm young man broke the myth of certain death when he took away the life of the 21st person ', it was an eye-catching headline.
Although the actual content was filled with ambiguous adjectives such as' speculated ',' might ', and' perhaps', it was shared by all major news websites in America within a short period of time.
An hour later, in a shabby room in a shabby hotel near the bus station in a remote county town in China's Western Sichuan Province, a pale young man sat on the untidy bed with his body hunched. All of a sudden, he could not suppress his laughter. "Brooklyn, New York, hahahaha … I've caught you! I've caught you!
I knew someone like you wouldn't stay still in America. Wait for me, wait for me, brat. I'll settle this with you very, very soon. Just you wait, just you wait … "
He mumbled to himself crazily for a while and began coughing hysterically all of a sudden as he was agitated. The hatred in his eyes grew stronger each time he coughed.
The young man was Mountain Cat who failed to attack and almost died in Zhang Lisheng's hand.
An open laptop was placed flat on the bed in front of him. The blurred image of Zhang Lisheng's head occupied the entire screen of the laptop.
When Mountain Cat swore to take revenge, Zhang Lisheng who was unscathed had been sent to New York Queens Hospital's intensive care ward for observation. The ward was filled with surveillance cameras and there were policemen guarding outside the door 24 hours a day.
It was impossible for him to cultivate the secret method under such a situation. Zhang Lisheng could only lie on the bed in his white hospital robe while flipping through the class notes that he brought with him. He was thinking about the Dr. Fracture that he met that night who was hiding in the dark.
A mysterious ability, a secret agreement that made one's imagination run wild. Zhang Li faintly felt that he had come into contact with a corner of the mysterious world that ordinary people would never be able to peek into through Dr. Fracture's words and actions.
He heard two familiar voices coming from outside the door all of a sudden when he was thinking hard. "Is he here? Is he here …"
"Yes, Lili, the doctor said Lisheng is in this ward. Look, there are policemen guarding the door. He's safe, don't worry.
Hello, I'm Sullo D. Lavin, Superintendent of the Key Case Investigation Unit. I'm also the guardian of the kid in the ward. This is the kid's mother, Lili. We'd like to see the kid. "
"Yes, sir, Ms. Lili, please come in."
