Chapter 119 The locomotive runs faster
The locomotive thought about it, but decided not to say anything.
No matter whether it is true or not, just treat it as an illusion.
Seeing the performance of the locomotive, Bruce became even more confused.
According to Hughie's previous performance, the dagger can drive people into madness, as if the dark side of their heart has been magnified.
But after the locomotive was resurrected by the dagger, it did not show this state.
Instead, he looked even more cowardly.
The person who appeared in front of the locomotive at this time was indeed the dummy that Bruce created using the illusion spell.
How could he get so close to the locomotive before he was sure he could handle the dagger?
And using the illusion spell on the locomotive was just an attempt.
The dagger can make magic ineffective, so logically speaking, the locomotive should not fall into hallucinations.
But now it has succeeded.
Bruce couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the dagger was no longer on the locomotive?
He didn't dare to draw any conclusions and still had to observe further.
"Mr. Locomotive, I'm actually really curious, how did you come back to life?"
Bruce deliberately said, "It's okay if you don't want to say it. You know that if I can kill you once, I can kill you countless times, right?"
And killed countless times!
The locomotive had seen the devil.
Although Homelander bullied him, he didn't kill him.
But Bruce really dared to do it!
"I really don't know how I came back to life!" he said fearfully, "I just closed my eyes and opened them again. I don't know anything else!"
"You still don't want to tell me the truth."
Bruce sighed, "Mr. Locomotive, let's be sincere to each other. If you are willing to tell me the truth, I will also be sincere to you."
Are you sincerely torturing yourself?
The locomotive will never forget the heart-wrenching pain that night.
He spoke without thinking, and even revealed his biggest secrets in order to make Bruce believe him.
"I really don't know anything. In fact, I am also very curious. After resurrection, my heart disease has been cured!"
heart disease?
Bruce looked at the locomotive curiously. This guy has a heart disease, but he still runs so fast every day?
Do you think you didn't die quickly enough?
"In that case, we have to have a good chat."
Bruce suddenly stopped and pointed to a coffee shop across the street. "Let's go there. You can have something to eat. I've heard your stomach growling several times!"
The locomotive immediately agreed to the proposal.
As a super runner, the locomotive's energy needs far exceed those of ordinary people.
He needs to consume at least 30,000 calories a day to maintain his normal activities.
So when you usually see the locomotive, he is either drinking a milkshake or eating a cupcake.
After chatting with Bruce for so long, he was already hungry.
"Thank you then." The locomotive said with his head down, "You are the most approachable billionaire I have ever met."
"What are you talking about, do you think I want a treat?"
Bruce said doubtfully, "Of course you're treating me! You're an adult, and you want a child to pay for your meal?"
……
There were piles of cupcakes in front of the locomotive, and he gobbled them up one by one.
He was obviously scared to death, but he didn't delay eating at all.
Bruce sat in front of him, eating nothing.
"Doesn't it taste good?"
The locomotive was still able to show some concern for Bruce, "I often come to this restaurant, the food is very good."
Bruce shook his head, hallucinating about eating something.
Now in the eyes of other customers, the locomotive is just a person sitting in a seat, talking to the air opposite.
It's like having hysteria.
Finally, the locomotive was full, he let out a long sigh, touched his belly, and felt refreshed.
"I've come to terms with it now. You're scarier than the people from my country."
He said, "My life is in your hands anyway, so ask whatever you want."
“A very optimistic attitude.”
Bruce took out the Supreme Wand and waved it casually in front of the locomotive.
"In fact, I won't kill people casually. I will only kill those who have committed extremely heinous crimes."
"It is my fault!"
The locomotive immediately apologized, with an extremely sincere attitude, "I shouldn't have thought about your inheritance, but you really have to believe me, it was actually my countrymen who asked me to do this. I am not interested in your money!"
Bruce sneered twice and didn't answer.
“Just a little interest at most!”
The locomotive continued to defend himself, "At that time, I didn't know you had this ability. If I had known, I wouldn't have appeared in front of you!"
"Stop telling lies like that. Let's talk about your resurrection."
Bruce was not interested in further exploring this aspect for the time being. "What changes have occurred to your body since your resurrection?"
Variety?
The locomotive thought for a moment and said truthfully: "Actually, there hasn't been much change. The main thing is that the heart disease that has troubled me for a long time is gone. I can run without restraint now."
He spoke out the troubles that had been in his heart for these years as if he was complaining.
"you do not know……"
"I know."
Bruce interrupted the locomotive's complaints and said, "Your prime has passed. In order to maintain your career, you even started using drugs. I know all this."
Katum had said all this a long time ago.
The locomotive suddenly looked as if it had seen a ghost.
"Mind reading?"
He lowered his voice and asked, "You also know this trick?"
"It just happened to happen." Bruce replied vaguely.
He does know Legilimency, but he's not proficient at it.
Because this trick is not very effective for people with strong will and super powers.
What Bruce wants to protect is an entire city, and future opponents will only become stronger and stronger. In-depth study of Legilimency is an inefficient method.
And he has a strong sense of ritual.
If you are interrogating a prisoner, without the torture process, even if you get the information you want, it won't be satisfying.
"its not right!"
The locomotive suddenly reacted, "If you can read minds, why do you still come to threaten and ask me?" "For fun." Bruce said.
"you--"
The locomotive was completely speechless.
"Okay, okay, I admit defeat!"
He finally accepted the reality. Fortunately, he did not lie before, otherwise what he said would be different from what he thought, and Bruce might have another excuse to kill him.
This time, the locomotive cannot guarantee that it can be resurrected.
Bruce suddenly asked, "By the way, apart from your body, how is your memory? Have you ever had any memory gaps?"
Huey had been there before.
As soon as these words came out, the locomotive's expression suddenly became serious, and he thought of something.
"Now that you mention it, it really is true!"
He said, "It seems that on the night when the invisible man died, my memory suddenly became blank..."
Having said that, the locomotive suddenly shut up.
He had a terrible idea.
Bruce raised his eyebrows and pointed to the milkshake in front of the locomotive.
"Don't be impatient, let's talk while we drink. Let's talk about the grudge between you and the invisible man."
……
The unspeakable secrets of the locomotive opened Bruce's eyes.
Our countrymen can actually have so much fun. Do you like watching this?
"I don't really hate the Invisible Man that much, I just felt a little... humiliated at that time."
The sound of the locomotive was kept very low, for fear that people around might hear it.
Bruce now understood that the humiliation that the locomotive suffered at that time was magnified, so that he could not control himself in the end.
However, this kid did not completely lose his mind and run to seek revenge on his fellow countrymen.
He still knew that he had to pick the softest persimmons.
"This should just be a coincidence, right?"
The locomotive repeatedly confirmed, "I didn't kill the invisible man. His skin is made of carbon, which is harder than diamond. Even if I drag him for a hundred kilometers, I can't kill him.
"So I definitely didn't kill the invisible man. I don't have the ability to do that!"
Bruce just shook his head.
"Why don't you just drown him?"
He said, "We can also put the blame on Shen Hai, so why not?"
The Invisible Man was not drowned, but chopped into pieces.
The dagger made of special metal is capable of such crazy behavior.
The locomotive knew this, of course, but it could never explain the gaps in its memory.
"It's really not me, it's really not me..." He could only repeat this sentence over and over again.
Bruce ignored him and thought about the dagger.
If I'm not mistaken, the dagger with special powers should be constantly looking for a host.
It will infinitely expand the dark side of the host, then lure it into killing someone, and then make the memory blank.
Make the murderer forget that he has ever killed anyone.
"This will be troublesome."
Bruce thought, "The whereabouts of the dagger is a complete mystery, and since Barbatos sent this dagger to me, he must have someone he wanted to kill.
“It won’t be me, because he wants to capture him alive.
"The one that Barbatos wanted to kill—"
At this moment, Bruce's real body suddenly realized something and turned to look at the owl's location.
Katoom was curled up in a ball, pretending to cry.
"It's over, it's over!" He cried, "I'm going to be killed! How can I die before I accomplish my great cause!"
"Stop pretending."
Bruce interrupts Katoom's performance.
But now, he was basically certain that the dagger was made of N metal, and Barbatos had infused it with some kind of divine power.
Otherwise, how can a simple dagger kill the Owl, the king of demons?
"Don't worry, Katoom."
Bruce casually said, "You will always live in my heart."
……
In the coffee shop, the locomotive ate and drank its fill, and answered all of Bruce's questions.
"Can I go now?" he said. "I am innocent. You can't just kill me!"
"I don't intend to kill you for now."
Bruce said, "But don't you have enough blood on your hands so far? You must atone for this."
"..."
The locomotive had no confidence to refute this statement. He could only think for a moment and then asked, "How can I atone for my sins?"
"Do what a hero does."
Bruce took out his cell phone and showed a news clip showing a huge fire somewhere and countless people were trapped inside.
"Saving everyone in here is your first step. I'll go with you and keep an eye on you."
The locomotive saw the address and asked in confusion: "The site is hundreds of kilometers away from here. It's no problem for me to go there, but how do you get there?"
Isn't it simple?
Bruce asked, "Locomotive, I heard you can pull a train?"
……
"Run faster!"
On the road, a locomotive was speeding, and he was tied with a rope, connecting to a pickup truck behind him.
They were so fast that only a shadow remained.
The locomotive gritted its teeth and ran.
This behavior seemed to trigger memories buried deep in his genes.
There is a feeling of nostalgia.
Bruce was standing on the back of the pickup truck, yelling at the locomotive—
"Run faster! If you delay saving people, I won't forgive you!"
