Chapter 69 Encirclement and Kill in Alley C
Chapter 69 Encirclement and Kill in Alley C
The man in black was holding a Walther PPK, the agent's vase-shaped pistol. He pulled the trigger and fired five lead bullets in succession.
The lead bullet swooped down like a bird, crashing into Titus's charging "steel body," instantly breaking its wings and falling to the ground.
Titus rushed up to the man in black and tentatively punched at the flashy sunglasses between his eyebrows. The sunglasses snapped with a "crack" and the fist smashed into his head.
The skull, resembling an ice cream chocolate shell, crumbles at the slightest touch, revealing a soft ice cream filling inside. But this ice cream is peculiar because the filling is warm.
As Titus withdrew his fist, the man in black's head instantly exploded into a bloody mist, and thick ice cream juice burst open.
It's already blown up?
With this kind of strength, you dare to face Astartes directly?
Has he always been this brave?
Titus reached out and wiped the blood and foam from his face, then brought his fingertips close to his nose and smelled it.
Could it be that this guy self-destructed, and his blood is actually poisonous?
But Titus didn't smell anything unusual; only a dessert-like, bloody odor filled the air.
Is this just a gift, friend?
However, in the next moment, Titus felt a stream of air rushing down from above his head like water, and then his shoulders sank!
An assassin crept silently to the rooftop. Perhaps he had been lying in wait there all along, or perhaps he just happened to walk up to the roof and saw Titus, the "walking $2000 million".
Despite witnessing Titus blast the number one bounty hunter to pieces with a single punch, this second-ranked bounty hunter, who had always lived a life of danger, still chose to strike without fear!
Bounty Hunter Number Two wrapped his legs around Titus's head and used the momentum of the fall to forcefully push forward, intending to use ancient jujitsu to throw the big guy under him over.
Throughout the number two bounty hunter's long career, this tactic has proven effective time and again, especially in close combat!
Got it, Undertaker!
A cruel smile immediately appeared on his lips. He thought that as long as he smashed this guy to pieces, he might even be able to capture him alive.
They might even be able to extort over 100,000 US dollars from the High Table!
However, his smile froze instantly the next moment, and despite the inertia of the second bounty hunter's fall, Titus remained unmoved.
On the contrary, the second bounty hunter's legs snapped due to excessive force!
"Damn monster!"
Bounty Hunter Number Two drew a dagger from his waist and stabbed Titus in the neck from the side.
The idea is good, but unfortunately he's too slow.
Death swept over the second bounty hunter like a whirlwind.
Titus grabbed the second bounty hunter by the back of his collar and slammed him to the ground. The uneven cobblestone tunnel gave him a free, fatal massage.
In an instant, he heard the crisp sound of his bones breaking!
Blood flowed like a fountain from the center of this fountain, meandering through the cracks in the cobblestones into Rome's sewer system, which had lasted for three thousand years.
Titus thought gleefully that he had made an irreplaceable contribution to the historical record of Rome's underground pipe system!
He strode towards the alley entrance. He needed to leave Rome, but he probably couldn't take a plane—it was too dangerous to fight on a plane!
What if an accident occurs and the plane is punctured?
The desperate bounty hunter rushed into the cockpit and self-destructed with the captain.
A superhero in a blue suit and black cape with glowing eyes flew out of the airplane window;
In an instant, Titus thought of too many dangerous possibilities. If he encountered such a situation, he would be helpless at an altitude of 10,000 meters!
Even if he gets a parachute and has the chance to make a super-massive airdrop.
Then, during his fall from 10,000 meters, especially during the floating phase when his parachute opens and his speed drops sharply, wouldn't he become a sitting duck?
Countless deadly moves of the Heavenly Dao appeared in Titus's mind one by one. He shook his head and shook the airplane, the most unsafe mode of transportation in the world, out of his mind.
He thought he had to leave Rome for a simple reason—the whole world knew he was in Rome!
Staying in Rome would only mean constantly facing unexpected dangers and lurking threats.
He also had to leave Rome quietly and then go to New York.
There, amidst a motley crew, was his treasured, dark basement containing the documents he needed to complete his mission.
After ruling out numerous modes of transportation, Titus decided to leave Rome by train, as fare evasion had become commonplace in Rome.
As long as you don't encounter a ticket check, you can easily get away with it. If you do, just say you lost your ticket. When you're taken to the train detention room, use the "instant sleep" trick on them.
Having made up his mind, Titus headed toward the nearest train station, but he couldn't just go there; there would surely be assassins lying in wait.
Moreover, it's probably early morning now, and Rome's train stations likely don't offer nighttime departure services.
Therefore, Titus's immediate priority is to get some money, then go to some cheap red-light district hotel for a nice bath, and then change his appearance—
Wearing a hat, a fake mustache, and a pair of dazed round-framed art glasses, paired with an artsy outfit.
Height is indeed a big issue, but people over 1.9 meters tall are not as rare as pandas in Rome; you can still see quite a few on the streets during the day.
Titus was exhausted. After meeting Khorne and returning to reality, he checked the information of the twelve families, and then went to the second manor to start the "half-time stop" mode to slaughter Santino.
He then flew to Rome, where he used all his strength to kill a giant mutant saltwater crocodile at the Baths of Caracas, and is now facing a series of assassination attempts.
He felt a little dizzy and concluded that his reaction time in his nascent Space Marine body was definitely not 0.01 seconds, but perhaps 0.08 seconds or even 0.1 seconds.
After all, the ability to react at the limit is very peculiar, and its boundaries are definitely blurry.
When in a good state, or under the influence of some kind of spiritual or material force—such as the power of love that transcends life and death, or even time, often seen in movies—one's reaction may have no limit.
When you're in a bad state—when you're daydreaming, tired, or unfocused—even a reaction time of 0.0001 seconds can mean being caught off guard by an attack that comes at you within 1 second.
Extreme reaction time represents the upper limit, that is, peak speed, but you cannot and should not maintain peak focus indefinitely.
In a daze, Titus heard the sound of machinery twitching, a crisp "click," but he didn't care to tell what kind of machinery the person in front of him was holding.
Bounty Hunter No. 9 uses a shoulder-mounted Benelli M4 semi-automatic shotgun, loaded with 12-gauge buckshot containing nine large lead pellets, classifying it as a game-grade bullet.
A single shot at close range could completely tear apart Titus's muscles, not to mention that this thing has a magazine capacity of 6 rounds.
It's a semi-automatic burst-fire weapon. If all six shots hit, Titus isn't even sure if his second heart can save his life!
Bounty Hunter Number Three quickly pulled the latch. He had been observing for quite some time, but still did not choose to leave.
He keenly sensed that Titus's condition was declining, and his intuition told the third bounty hunter that such a good opportunity was rare for a "monster" like him!
Bounty Hunter Number Three quickly pulled the trigger, his shoulder trembling, and fired six deer hunting rounds in quick succession!
