"Odin... Odin..." The man kept repeating the name, as if he had lost his mind and the only thing he remembered was this fictional name from the myth.
"What are you doing! Let go! Let go of Zhao Menghua!" Liu Miaomiao was supporting Su Xiaoqiang at the side, and she didn't dare to get close. She could only scream at the strange man who was wrapped in bandages. It seemed that she was also scared. She supported Su Xiaoqiang and retreated away while shouting.
The people around noticed the strangeness here and heard the sharp sirens. They clamored to stay away from this place of trouble, but in the crowd, there was a white figure running in the opposite direction of the people, running towards the center of the noise.
It was Chen Wenwen. She rushed forward, hugged the bandaged man's arm, and used all her strength and courage... No, the usual Chen Wenwen didn't have such courage. She had already given up everything. Her mind was blank. Maybe she herself didn't know what she was doing at this moment.
Zhao Menghua caught a glimpse of a white skirt out of the corner of his eye, and then the familiar face of Chen Wenwen. His brain was extremely deprived of oxygen, and he thought he was hallucinating, but vaguely he heard Chen Wenwen whimpering, and he even saw Chen Wenwen's red eyes... He suddenly realized that this might be real, Chen Wenwen really came to save him, just like the time he got lost in the subway a year ago. Whenever he was about to fall into a dangerous abyss, only this girl in a white skirt would come to find him regardless of the danger.
Yes, wasn't it because of this reason that I chose to propose to Chen Wenwen instead of being with Liu Miaomiao? Although Chen Wenwen may have always liked Lu Mingfei in her heart, her dedication to me was really no less than mine, and her feelings for me were also true... This girl was a little sentimental and a little troublesome, but when necessary, for the person she loved, she was braver than any other girl.
At this moment, Zhao Menghua suddenly felt relieved. It’s nothing to meet a girl who says she likes and loves you, but it’s really rare to meet a girl who is willing to risk her life to save you when you are in danger... Compared with this kind of emotion that is above life, is that little bit of love and obsession really that important?
Chen Wenwen, go away quickly, go to a safe place, don't worry about me... Zhao Menghua wanted to say this, but he really couldn't make any sound. His expression was painful and helpless. When his mind was the most fuzzy, he remembered the mass he and Chen Wenwen had spent together on Christmas, and the danger that Chen Wenwen might encounter next. His blood ran cold.
Chen Wenwen was indeed sobbing softly. She was actually very scared, almost crying, but she didn't know where she got the courage from. Seeing Zhao Menghua being strangled by such a scary weirdo, her mind went blank and she pounced on him instinctively... Even though she felt her legs were going weak, she still ran at a speed comparable to the city-level women's track and field team. At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind, and that was to not allow anyone to hurt Zhao Menghua.
"Let go! Let go!" Even though Chen Wenwen tried her best and almost broke her slender wrist, she still couldn't shake the weirdo's arm at all, like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.
She wanted to save Zhao Menghua, but she couldn't do it with her strength. Chen Wenwen was so anxious that she shed tears... But the power that a woman can burst out in despair is also unexpected.
Chen Wenwen pounced on the strange man's hand that was pinching Zhao Menghua, and she bit the man's arm hard... It was as if she couldn't even see that the man's arm was covered with blood-stained bandages.
Suddenly, an astonishing smell of blood rushed into Chen Wenwen's nose. She was almost unable to breathe due to the strong smell. She coughed subconsciously, but immediately bit the man's arm. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her tears and saliva wet the blood-stained bandage.
After these few bites, the weirdo's gaze finally shifted away from Zhao Menghua and fell on Chen Wenwen. He didn't know if Chen Wenwen really hurt him or if the coughing sound attracted his attention.
"Where... is Odin?" The strange man wrapped in bandages looked at Chen Wenwen and asked the repetitive question in a hoarse voice.
The weirdo's attention fell on Chen Wenwen. He pinched Zhao Menghua's hand and finally let go. Zhao Menghua coughed hard and took a deep breath. If this weirdo had pinched him for another ten seconds, even if his throat was not crushed, he would probably have gone into shock due to suffocation... There was still a huge pain in his throat and his brain was fuzzy, but Zhao Menghua still used his remaining sanity to force himself to make an almost broken sound.
"Wenwen... don't worry about me... run!" Zhao Menghua shouted at the top of his lungs.
The next moment, he was thrown out by the weirdo and hit a metal trash can on the roadside. He rolled his eyes and fainted completely.
"Zhao Menghua!" Chen Wenwen subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of Zhao Menghua. She was worried about Zhao Menghua's situation from the bottom of her heart, but the next second, she immediately realized that what she should be more worried about was herself who was in a more dangerous situation.
The strange man wrapped in bandages took a step closer to Chen Wenwen. Chen Wenwen slowly turned her head. The pair of red-gold pupils were very close to her. The smell of blood almost enveloped her... This was definitely not fake plasma, nor was it animal blood. This was human blood.
Chen Wenwen didn't know why she had this feeling. The arm wrapped in bandages that she had just bitten was wet, and it seemed that what she smelled was not the smell of blood, but the smell of death.
A huge fear enveloped Chen Wenwen. A figure flashed through her mind at this moment. She imagined that person could come to save her again... It was not Zhao Menghua, but Lu Mingfei.
It’s not Chen Wenwen’s fault for being indecisive, because Zhao Menghua was lying not far away, unconscious, and Lu Mingfei had helped her save Zhao Menghua once. If there was anyone in this world who could really work a miracle, Chen Wenwen’s first reaction would be Lu Mingfei.
Reason told Chen Wenwen that Lu Mingfei would not come, because there was no reason for Lu Mingfei to be here, and there was no need for him to care about her. He had such a beautiful and excellent girlfriend, and she was already married to Zhao Menghua. Why should Lu Mingfei take risks for others?
But reason cannot save lives. Chen Wenwen's emotion makes her look forward to Lu Mingfei appearing in front of her. She is such a fantasy girl. To put it nicely, she is an artistic youth girl. To put it bluntly, she lives in her own fantasy world all day long... Perhaps it is this inexplicable sense of dependence that makes Chen Wenwen unable to forget Lu Mingfei. Although she also feels very sorry for Zhao Menghua, Lu Mingfei is just a person living in a fantasy world to her. Except for the three years of high school, she and Lu Mingfei will no longer have any intersection. Every girl has some fantasies of her own, more or less.
"Stay away from that girl!" A warning shout came from not far away.
Uniformed policemen surrounded the bandaged man. Some of them carried blast shields, some held guns, and some shouted through loudspeakers. Bright red and blue police cars blocked both sides of the road, and a yellow cordon had been set up at the intersection.
“I’ll say it again, stay away from that girl!” The sheriff-like figure holding a megaphone shouted. He glanced at Zhao Menghua, who had completely fainted beside the trash can. “You are suspected of damaging public property, intentionally injuring others, and assaulting police officers. Now we are arresting you according to the law. Give up resistance and don’t hurt innocent people, otherwise your punishment will be more severe!”
However, in the face of the police's warnings, the man wrapped in bandages seemed to be deaf to them. His eyes fixed on Chen Wenwen without moving, like some kind of beast locking onto its prey.
"Odin... Where is Odin?" the man asked repeatedly, with a terrifying light in his golden pupils, like a stubborn avenger.
But Chen Wenwen couldn't answer this question at all. How would she know where Odin was? She didn't even know who Odin was. If it was the Odin in mythology, she had heard of him, but she couldn't possibly tell this man that Odin was in Asgard... It was obvious that this man was mentally ill, and such an answer would most likely only make him angry, and he would die faster.
Chen Wenwen took a step back, and she moved very slowly, fearing that she would accidentally make the man go crazy... But the man also took a step forward, as if he had to ask someone a question and would not give up until he got the answer he wanted.
Chen Wenwen was so frightened that she almost screamed, but she could only cover her mouth tightly. Tears as big as beans fell one by one. At this moment, she looked helpless and desperate.
"Stay away from that girl, put your hands above your head, and slowly squat down. This is our final warning!" The sheriff said sternly, "Count down five seconds. If you don't cooperate, we will take coercive measures. Once we open fire, your life cannot be guaranteed!"
As the sheriff shouted, his forehead was covered with sweat. It was not that he did not want to send people to rescue the boy who had fainted next to the trash can, he simply did not dare... His warning was obviously weak, because he had rushed here from another block after hearing the report from his subordinates, and that block was already in ruins.
The noise in the distance was caused not long ago when that strange man passed through that street, leaving behind ten injured people, exploded vehicles and broken glass along the way... At first, the police thought that the man was just a simple antisocial personality. They followed the man in police cars and warned him countless times, and even used force to suppress him, but it was useless.
At least half of the dozen injured were police officers. The man disappeared like a ghost, and no one saw how he disappeared. After a commotion among the crowd, he suddenly appeared on the next street.
The police quickly evacuated the crowd, blocked the road, and deployed almost all the police forces they could temporarily mobilize against this weird guy... The sheriff didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world. He had been educated in science since he was a child, but this guy was definitely not a simple antisocial personality, he was an antisocial personality with superpowers! The scene before their eyes was too magical, as if they were dealing with an enemy beyond human cognition.
"Are you really going to shoot?" the subordinate at the side asked in a low voice, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
The sheriff opened his mouth. He was a little undecided at the moment. Otherwise, he would have given the order to shoot long ago. He wouldn't have to keep shouting and warning so many times... But if they shot and the man suddenly disappeared, wouldn't the bullet hit the girl who was almost close to him?
If the man doesn't use that strange ability, the police's trained shooting skills can guarantee the man's subjugation, but cannot ensure the girl's safety... But if they don't shoot after shouting, will they just watch the man do whatever he wants? What if it really causes irreversible consequences? Where is the prestige of the police?
"Shoot! Act in unison after the countdown ends and try to ensure the safety of the hostages!" The sheriff gritted his teeth and made the decision. He began to shout into the intercom, "Five, four, three..."
Before they finished counting the numbers, a violent whistling sound suddenly came from above their heads, which was the sound of the air being cut.
Everyone looked up at the same time and saw a white helicopter, like a giant flying bird, slowly descending towards their area.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the strange man wrapped in bandages. Chen Wenwen temporarily put aside her fear and raised her head to look upward. The hurricane made it almost impossible for her to open her eyes.
The ladder was placed accurately next to her, and a man in a white suit climbed down the ladder. After he stepped on the ground, he waved at the helicopter. The white helicopter flew away, as if its mission was just to take the man to the center of danger.
"Oh, it's so lively here, is everyone having a party?" The man in the white suit waved his hands in all directions and made a very showy opening remark.
It was as if he was on some real-life stage rather than a violent crime scene.
The sheriff stretched out his hand, signaling to the policemen who were aiming not to shoot. He looked in astonishment at the man with blond hair and a white suit. There was only one button on his chest... All the policemen were dumbfounded. They had no idea where this man who fell from the sky came from and landed right in the center of the incident. Was it a coincidence or a premeditated plan?
Chapter 1038 Which Odin Are You Looking For?
More importantly, the police had no way of judging the man's position. This looked very much like a premeditated crime. There have been many such cases in history where criminals who committed violent terrorist acts were picked up by their companions in helicopters.
The point is, this flashy man in white bathing clothes looks more neurotic than that weirdo with bandages wrapped all over his body...
But what if this man is here to solve the problem here... No, this possibility is too small. If the higher-ups sent someone to deal with the problem here, why didn't they notify the police first? Moreover, why would they send a foreigner to solve such a problem?
"What are you here for?" The sheriff shouted at the man in the white suit through a loudspeaker with some caution.
"Me?" The man in the white suit pointed at himself and said as a matter of course, "You can tell at a glance that I'm here to meddle in other people's business."
"Mind...mind other people's business?" The sheriff was unable to wrap his mind around what was going on for a moment.
"Yeah, I had an appointment, but I suddenly wanted to cancel it, so I was flying aimlessly in the sky. What a coincidence, I just happened to see something going on here." The man in the white suit stroked his long hair coquettishly, "What do you think I should do? I am born with a nosy personality, especially when it comes to things related to pretty girls. When I'm in a good mood, I can even take a look at the male and female dogs passing by on the street. It's so lively here, where else can I go if not here?"
"Haven't you seen that both sides of the road are sealed?" The sheriff scolded the man, "This is the police investigation area. No idle people are allowed to enter. Get out of there immediately!"
"I saw it, but I didn't come from the side of the road. I came from the sky. There's no seal there." The man in the white suit pointed to the sky above his head. He sighed and complained, "Oh, I get called a stud and a bastard every day. I finally get to be a messenger of justice, but why doesn't anyone appreciate it?"
The sheriff frowned deeply. He finally understood what was said. This guy was a complete psychopath. However, compared to the strange man wrapped in bandages, this guy was a psychopath who could communicate. However, his thoughts were too erratic and could easily lead you astray.
"This is a crime scene. Do you know what you are doing?" The sheriff could no longer tolerate this matter. He warned the man, "You have five seconds to evacuate the area. I repeat, you have five seconds to evacuate quickly, otherwise we will use violence to subdue you!"
"Sheriff, should we shoot him?" asked an inexperienced trainee police officer nearby.
"Are you stupid? He's not a criminal, why are you shooting him? He's a foreigner. If you shoot him, we'll all have to take off our police hats tomorrow!" The sheriff cursed impatiently, "This is just a warning, warning, understand? Any normal person with a little bit of brains would have known the danger and been scared away!"
The sheriff didn't know what had happened to him today. He had been a policeman for so many years and had never encountered such a difficult guy... and two of them suddenly appeared. He must have not checked the almanac before going out today.
But it was useless to look at the almanac, as this was his job. The man in the white suit was obviously not a normal person with a brain. When he heard the sheriff's warning, he became excited instead.
"Violence? Uniforms?" The man in the white suit raised his eyebrows. "How do you know I like this?"
The strange man wrapped in bandages suddenly moved, and he took another step closer to Chen Wenwen. Chen Wenwen did not react because her attention was focused on the man in the white suit who suddenly appeared. When she came to her senses, the strange man wrapped in bandages was already in front of her, almost sticking to her face.
Chen Wenwen could no longer suppress the fear in her heart. She screamed "Ah!" and the scream cut through the sky, attracting not only everyone's attention, but also the man wrapped in bandages seemed to have angered Ye Bei.
He stretched out his hand towards Chen Wenwen, as if he wanted to strangle her like he was Zhao Menghua, but Chen Wenwen was a weak girl compared to Zhao Menghua after all, and the man's powerful grip almost suffocated Zhao Menghua into shock in just a few tens of seconds. If Chen Wenwen's slender white neck was really strangled, wouldn't it be crushed in an instant?
The sheriff was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The situation here was already chaotic enough. He couldn't make up his mind for a while whether to shoot or not. Now a neurotic person suddenly appeared to disrupt the situation. How to solve this problem? If he failed to catch the criminal and hurt innocent people, he would be drowned by public opinion tomorrow!
"Remember to try your best to ensure the safety of the hostages, and be ready to shoot..." Before the sheriff's expression suddenly changed, the word "gun" was not uttered.
Because the neurotic man in the white suit also moved. He suddenly turned his head, and just before the bandaged man's hand was about to strangle Chen Wenwen's neck, he suddenly grabbed the bandaged man's forearm. His speed was incredibly fast, but his movements were as casual as a scholar picking up a peach branch.
"Don't be violent with women. This is a gentleman's virtue." The man in the white suit shook his head at the bandaged man, then turned his head and gave Chen Wenwen a gentle smile, "You are not hurt, are you, ma'am?"
Chen Wenwen's eyes widened and she shook her head in surprise, the movement so small that it was hard to tell whether she was shaking her head or trembling... She was really scared. When a person is greatly frightened, her brain goes blank. Now was clearly a perfect opportunity to escape, but she just stood there stupidly, as if her instinct to survive was gone.
"Alas, a good girl was really scared silly." The man in the white suit looked at the man covered in bandages, his eyes full of blame, "Brother, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but you can just throw a tantrum on the street, why are you making things difficult for a girl? Didn't your mother teach you that there would be no men without women in the world? If you have something that doesn't go your way, don't lose your temper at a girl, okay?"
The bandaged man's gaze slowly moved over. It was a confused, dull, yet inexplicably stubborn look. He looked at the man in the white suit and uttered a few words in a hoarse voice.
"Odin... where is Odin?" The bandaged man asked the same question stubbornly, with golden light flickering in his pupils.
"Odin, I know him. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" The man in the white suit slapped his forehead. "You should have asked me earlier. Otherwise, why would you have caused so many troubles? I know Odin well. We are old friends. What do you want from him?"
The man wrapped in bandages was also stunned for a moment. No one had ever answered his question directly along the way, but the answer from the man in the white suit was obviously beyond his expectations... Although he had very little memory left, the little bit of consciousness he had left was not enough to understand what the man in the suit meant.
"You want to ask about Odin, right? Come on, let's go talk over there." The man in the white suit put down the bandaged man's arm and put his arm around his shoulder. "This is a secret. I'm only telling you because I think you get along well with me. Don't let anyone else hear it."
The man in bandages unexpectedly did not resist, as if he was also confused by the words and actions of the man in the white suit... Not only was he confused, but also the police officers around him, especially the sheriff. He looked at the hand of the man in the white suit, which was placed intimately on the shoulder of the bandaged man, and he walked slowly towards him with his arm around him, looking like a good brother. If you didn't know, you would think they were old brothers who had known each other for many years.
"Don't even think about shooting. Evacuate the crowd and take that girl away quickly!"
As they passed the police cordon, the man in the white suit suddenly whispered this, and the voice reached the sheriff's ears clearly.
Even if the sheriff was slow-witted, he should have realized by now that this guy was one of their own... Even though he was neurotic or irrational, what he did was truly on the side of justice.
"I see!" said the sheriff, suddenly realizing.
"Ah? What do you understand?" asked the deputy on the side.
"Have you seen the negotiation experts in the movies? They are the experts who suddenly appear when the criminals' modesty is out of control. Each of them has a vast reserve of psychological knowledge and considerable on-the-spot experience." The sheriff said, pointing at the hat on his head. "We police use force to suppress criminals, but they can directly destroy the criminals' psychological defenses. They are the only ones who can calm down an irritable criminal who is unable to communicate at all in an instant."
"Is that so?" The deputy widened his eyes, looking unconvinced.
"Yes, otherwise why would that weirdo be willing to be taken away by him? He was so vicious just now, but now he is as obedient as a child?" The sheriff looked at the backs of the two people, "So we can't understand what he said, because he is a negotiation expert, he is familiar with criminal psychology, he just imitated the tone of the criminals, they can resonate with each other, we are outsiders!"
“But I don’t think he is such a powerful person…” The deputy also looked at the backs of the two men and murmured in a low voice.
But the sheriff was totally unable to listen. He was frantically engaged in self-construction... Yes, that must be the case. This man must be an expert in negotiation, a top talent hired with high salary. So there is nothing wrong with him being a foreigner. It is also reasonable for him to appear in a suit and take a helicopter. This is how it is played in Hong Kong films and Hollywood blockbusters. Moreover, his temperament is very unique. His behavioral logic seems weird, but every word he says leaves you unable to refute. He must be an expert with considerable experience to be so calm and composed.
"Evacuate the crowd, evacuate the crowd!" The sheriff came to his senses and gave orders, "Send the victim next to the trash can and the frightened girl to the hospital. Do not move the blockade and cordon. Put away the guns and turn off the sirens of the police cars!"
"Why do you want to put the gun away?" the deputy asked in confusion.
"Stupid, didn't you hear me say not to shoot? The expert finally calmed the criminal down, and we pulled out our guns and scared him again. Wouldn't all the expert's efforts be in vain? Let specialized people do specialized things. When dealing with this kind of antisocial personality disorder, we have to trust the experts!" The sheriff looked at the backs of the two men who had already walked away, "So handsome! I hope my son can become a man like him in the future!"
……
Pompey hugged the bandaged man and came to the corner of a building. He looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, are you looking for Odin?" Pompeii looked at the profile of the bandaged man, although all he could see was the bloodstained linen.
"Odin... Odin..." The bandaged man was still a little stunned. He kept murmuring the name, with golden light flashing in his eyes.
"Yes, Odin!" Pompey nodded. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the Google search engine, entered the name "Odin" in the search box, and then pressed the search icon on the right.
The Internet speed was quite fast. After refreshing for less than a second, more than one million relevant search results popped up on the Google page. Pompeii clicked on a search term and a picture appeared.
"Hey, this is Odin." Pompeii pointed at the enlarged picture and asked, "You're looking for this guy, right?"
The bandaged man stared at the photo in Pompeii's phone for a long time. After a while, a low growl suddenly came from his throat. There was anger in the growl. I don't know if he realized that he was being fooled.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, don't get angry yet." Pompey quickly swiped the photo away and flipped back and forth on the Google page. "You are not satisfied with the Odin just now, let's look at a few more. Don't worry, my appointment today is canceled. I have plenty of time. I will accompany you to look for it slowly."
"Is this Odin? Um, dissatisfied?"
"How about this one? This one looks majestic? Look at how textured this ram-horn helmet is... but it looks a bit old, huh?"
"What about this one? I remember this oil painting was sold for quite a bit of money and was bought by an old guy named Henkel... Um, you're still not satisfied?"
The bandaged man's patience seemed to have been worn out, and his remaining sanity was slowly being consumed by Pompeii. There was murderous intent in his golden pupils, and his muscles were throbbing under the blood-stained bandages.
"Brother, you are too difficult to deal with, aren't you?" Pompey sighed, "You are forcing me to use my trump card!"
Pompey looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one around, he opened an encrypted hidden album on his phone, entered a rather complicated password, and clicked on the second video in the first row among a whole wall of blurred videos.
If Ange were here, he would be surprised to find that Pompeii's mobile phone also contained a clip of Odin's appearance at the Sacred Heart Hospital, but this video was obviously closer and clearer than the one secretly recorded by Finkel.
"Since neither the golden axe nor the silver axe is the one you want, is this stupid Odin the Odin you are looking for?" Pompey asked indifferently.
The bandaged man stared at the video, or to be more precise, at the man riding a horse in the video. His chest heaved and his breathing became more rapid each time.
Chapter 1039 The Battle Between Time and Zero
The bandaged man was obviously stimulated by the video on Pompeii's phone, and his emotions fluctuated violently.
"Odin... Odin... Odin..." The bandaged man kept repeating this name, his emotions changed from confusion to struggle, and then to hatred. His eyes were flashing with golden light, like a burning flame of revenge.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Pompey looked at the bandaged man's expression and condition with interest, just like an observer handing a piece of bloody meat to a wild beast, wondering whether it would feast on it or be angered by the smell of blood.
The man wrapped in bandages was finally angered. His hand flashed like a phantom and he slapped Pompeii's phone hard.
The phone flew far away and hit the corner of the wall heavily. With a "pop", the entire cover broke into pieces, and the motherboard popped out. After a flash of electric sparks, billowing black smoke came out.
