Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 29 Hawke Opens the Killing Valve
A remote town fifty kilometers north of Quantico.

Hawke had seen the terrain near Quantico on a satellite map, so he had a rough idea of ​​how to drive to Quantico from the airport.

So just now, when the young black man drove the car away from his expected route, Hawke became suspicious.

His memory was already good, and after awakening his microcosm, his memory also made a qualitative leap.

Hawke got out of the car and looked around.

remote.

muddy.

Ok.

It's a good place to rob, kill and then bury the bodies. No wonder Xiao Hei drove the car here.

Hawke thought to himself.

Behind.

Xiao Hei in the car had a bruised face and nose, but his life was not in danger. He was just still screaming.

Hawke didn't kill him.

At least not yet.

after awhile.

Hawke turned around, opened the car door, and with a yank of his right hand, pulled the groaning driver out of the car with one hand, then tossed him onto the muddy dirt road that was still wet from the rain.

"Pfft!"

After being thrown to the ground, the driver felt dizzy and disoriented, but driven by his survival instinct, he quickly got up, knelt in front of Hawke, and pleaded in a trembling voice, "Please, don't kill me, please, don't kill me, I know I was wrong."

Hawke looked at the driver who had been so arrogant just moments before, and now looked so disheveled.

The voice is cold.

"You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die."

"..."

The driver froze, his pleading voice trembling even more.

Hawke narrowed his eyes and said, "Give me a reason not to kill you."

The driver was slightly taken aback.

next second.

He raised his bruised head and looked at Hawke, his voice hurried, searching for hope of survival.

"I'll give you my car and my money. Oh, I have money, so I can give you my money too."

"That's not enough. Even if I kill you, your car and money will still be mine."

Hawke shook his head expressionlessly.

"Think again!"

"...You can't kill me. If you kill me, you'll also be wanted. As long as you don't kill me, don't worry. I promise I won't tell anyone about this. Please, don't kill me."

The driver spoke hurriedly, his eyes revealing an infinite desire to live.

Upon hearing this, Hawke glanced at the driver, then lowered his eyes in thought.

He seemed to be pondering just how credible the driver's statement was.

The driver kneeling in front of him was secretly delighted when he saw Hawke's gaze leave him.

The driver continued to plead in his voice while carefully moving his right hand toward his lower back.

next second.

"ah!"

The driver drew a folding knife from his waist with his right hand, then let out a strange cry, before suddenly leaping up, his expression ferocious, and lunging at Hawke in front of him, yelling, "Die!"

The moment Hawke raised his eyes, his gaze was cold and he slapped him directly.

Boom boom boom!
Xiao Hei's head started spinning as fast as clockwork in an instant.

It spins faster and faster.

The more you turn it, the tighter it gets.

until……

Pfft!

The neck, which had been twisted into a pretzel and could no longer be sustained, was torn apart from the neck.

"Pfft!"

"Gudongdong!"

Hawke looked down again at the driver, who lay sprawled at his feet, his face still contorted in a ferocious expression, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "I really intend to let you go."

"pity."

"The bad nature of your skin color is too strong."

"Fear power, not virtue!"

"I gave you the only chance in my life to be soft-hearted, but you thought I was scared."

"Ah!"

Hawke thought about it, and his eyes then fell on the headless corpse that was bleeding continuously because it had lost its head plug.

He wasn't lying; he had genuinely been considering letting the driver go.

It wasn't just because he had important business there and didn't want killing the driver to cause unforeseen complications and affect his future plans.

The most important reason is another one.

Bottom line.

Just as Hawke said before, once the bottom line is broken, he can't imagine what he will become in the future.

Killing is like a valve.

Once this valve is opened, life will no longer be revered.

This is especially true for those who travel through time and space and already have a flexible moral bottom line.

The previous Zeta Soldiers were different.

After all, Hawke had seen the true appearance of the Chitauri soldiers, and those Chitauri soldiers might look like humans, but they were essentially bugs.

Humans will not feel guilty about killing bugs, and Hawke will not give his principles and bottom line to a group of intelligent bugs.

But the little black guy in front of me is different.

In fact, it was just as Hawke thought.

Although this was Hawke's first real murder, he did not feel any discomfort in his heart when he looked at the bleeding headless corpse in front of him, and he did not even have the slightest psychological activity.

wrong.

There are also.

This seems to be no different from the Chitauri being killed.

Hawke thought to himself and subconsciously closed his eyes.

It didn't occur to him to close the valve again.

There are only zero and countless times for anything.

Now that the valve of killing has been opened, whether he is willing or not, at least from today on, killing will no longer be rejected by him.

Think about it.

Hawke turned around and stopped looking at the head that fell on the ground and the headless corpse that was bleeding beside it. After opening the car door and getting in, he glanced up at the blue sky, then got in the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove off the road.

He had no interest in digging a hole for this little black guy.

The valve of killing has been opened, and there is no possibility of anything else happening. In this case, whether Xiao Hei's body is discovered or not is not a problem for him.

Killing one is killing.

So, killing one more, or killing a few more, is just a matter of quantity.

but……

"You can kill."

"You can't be bloodthirsty."

"A truly strong person always maintains a humble heart."

Hawke thought silently in his heart, and after driving the taxi out of the remote road, he found the right road with just a glance, and then drove towards the town of Quantico which was still some distance away.

He just doesn't have a driver's license in this life, but that doesn't mean he can't drive.

As Hawke's car drove out of this small road where few people would pass by normally, the road gradually returned to its former silence and remoteness.

About half an hour later.

The sound of footsteps once again broke the silence of the remote path.

Then the second and third ones.

soon.

Three men wearing sunglasses came to the trail, their eyes fixed on the head in the mud and the headless corpse that was no longer bleeding.
