America: John Wick 1924

Chapter 6 The Blonde Nun with Purple Eyes

One hour later——

Night falls.

Li Yu waited a little longer, until the sky was completely dark.

Tonight is a cloudy night, with thick, dark clouds separating the sky and the earth.

Li Yu looked up at the dense, dark clouds and thought to himself:
—What a pity, we won't be able to see the full moon.

He remembered that tonight was a full moon night.

It was a pity that they couldn't see the full moon, but it was just as good. The thick clouds blocked the moonlight completely, and the dense darkness enveloped the earth, making it easier for Li Yu to sneak in!
Looking around, one can clearly see bright lights flickering inside the "paradise".

There's someone inside!
Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief, realizing his trip hadn't been in vain.

He hung the vajrapani on his left waist and then took off his khaki trench coat—the khaki clothing was too conspicuous in the dark environment.

The dark priest's robes were perfect for wearing at night.

After making all the preparations, Li Yu left his luggage behind, crouched low, and ran quickly but steadily toward the "paradise".

……

……

As Li Yu approached the amusement park, he gradually heard upbeat music and the sounds of men talking and laughing.

It's the most popular jazz music right now.

In the United States during that era, jazz was the most fashionable music, bar none, and was highly sought after by young people of all races, while also being strongly opposed by elders of all races.

The music played at just the right moment, enough to cover up Li Yu's footsteps and breath.

In no time, he climbed over an open window and successfully sneaked into the "paradise".

He groped and leaped in the darkness, constantly getting closer to the firelight.

Finally, he arrived at the heart of the "paradise"—the waiting hall.

The vast waiting hall is the largest space in this abandoned train station, and the bright lights, the constant music and laughter emanate from here.

Li Yu cautiously crept into a corner of the waiting hall, hiding behind several metal barrels, concealing himself in the darkness where the firelight could not reach.

Then, he poked half of his head out of the metal bucket, raised his eyes, and quickly surveyed everything in the waiting hall.

In the very center of the waiting hall, a dozen or so disheveled Mexicans were performing an awkward dance around a blazing iron barrel.

Beside the fire bucket, an old-fashioned record player spewed out rough notes.

They laughed, danced, and spoke Spanish, which Li Yu couldn't understand.

The firelight lengthened their shadows, casting their enormous figures onto the wall, swaying with their dance, like an African tribe holding a celebration.

Li Yu calmly turned his gaze and counted their numbers.

There were 12 people in total, all of them young and vigorous men.

Nearly half of the people carried revolvers or semi-automatic pistols on their waists.

The veteran's intelligence was correct; the group of Mexicans were indeed well-equipped.

Fortunately, Li Yu did not find any heavy weapons such as Chicago typewriters, shotguns, or rifles on them.

Li Yu wasn't interested in the others; he only wanted to find a young white man with a red skull tattoo on his neck.

He lowered his eyelids and stared intently.

With the skill "One Against a Thousand Lv.B", Li Yu's eyesight is also at the level of a high-quality human.

He quickly found his target—a bald man whose shiny scalp reflected the firelight.

Although there was some distance between them, Li Yu could vaguely make out a red mark on the bald man's right neck. Unfortunately, with his shirt collar turned up, he couldn't see it clearly and couldn't determine if it was a red skull tattoo.

Although it was just Li Yu's personal speculation, based on the bald man's posture, he was most likely the leader of this group of Mexicans.

"Let them fall asleep," Li Yu thought to himself.

Rushing out now would be extremely risky, and even if we won, we would still be taking a considerable risk.

Let's wait patiently until they've had enough fun and fallen asleep before taking any action.

No sooner had Li Yu made his decision than he heard hurried footsteps approaching from outside.

A moment later, an elderly Mexican man carrying a rifle rushed into the hall—another man had arrived, making a total of 13 people.

Li Yu raised an eyebrow as he looked at the rifle in the man's hand.

Li Yu was not a gun enthusiast and was not an expert on firearms, but after traveling to this time and space, he gradually learned about the models and styles of many classic firearms through exposure to them.

The rifle this "rifle-wielding Mexican" is holding is none other than the classic M1894 Winchester lever-action rifle! It typically holds 5+1 rounds!
The "+1" shot was pre-loaded into the chamber.

After acquiring the skill "Lever-Lever Rifle Mastery Lv.A", Li Yu had been trying to get a lever-lever rifle to bolster his strength and test the effectiveness of this A-level skill.

It's rare to acquire a high-level A skill, so why not use it?

Therefore, Li Yu unconsciously fixed his gaze, staring intently at the M1894 Winchester lever-action rifle in the hands of "Old Mexican Rifle".

The sudden appearance of "Old Mexican with Rifle" brought the "dance" to a temporary halt.

Meeting the puzzled looks of his companions, "Rifle Old Mexican" swallowed hard, then shouted with barely suppressed excitement:

"Guys! Stop! Don't jump! We've got a delivery! A nun has arrived! I bet you've never seen such a beautiful nun in your lives!" (Spanish)

Li Yu couldn't understand Spanish, but he saw the group of Mexicans getting agitated, with excited shouts echoing throughout the hall.

Before they could think it through, they hurriedly turned off the record player, extinguished the flames in the metal barrel, and then grabbed pistols, daggers, and other weapons, surging out in a huge crowd.

Li Yu didn't understand why, but he knew that going over to take a look wouldn't hurt.

He held onto the Vajra at his left waist, carefully sticking close to the old Moss behind him, maintaining a distance of about a hundred meters.

The Mexicans ran faster than anyone else, practically scrambling to get ahead, completely unaware that a ghost was following them like a shadow.

And so, the two left the "paradise" one after the other, heading straight for the highway to the east.

Soon, a straight road stretching across the wilderness like a giant python came into Li Yu's view.

At this time of day, the highway, which should have been pitch black, was flickering with a faint orange-red light—someone was carrying an oil lamp and walking hurriedly along the road.

Upon seeing this, Li Yu showed a hint of surprise on his face.

It's so late, and there are still pedestrians?
As we all know, you can't expect a country with rampant gun violence to have good public safety.

If everyone carries a gun, it will be chaotic!
This was the United States in 1924. Up to thirty years ago, the country still had a large number of gangs running rampant in the West. Robberies of banks, trains, and women were commonplace and frequent occurrences.

No one would go out in the middle of the night unless absolutely necessary, especially in such a remote area where there are no villages or shops nearby.

Li Yu subconsciously raised his gaze and stared intently at the lone traveler on the road—the figure appeared somewhat hazy and unreal in the firelight.

Upon seeing his appearance clearly, Li Yu was taken aback and muttered to himself:

"nun……?"

He had assumed that anyone who dared to walk at night in such a desolate place was either a penniless vagrant or a heavily armed tough guy.

Unexpectedly, it was neither.

The other party was merely a young girl—a young nun with blonde hair and purple eyes.
