Fang Cheng and Ye Yuqing left the hotel and prepared to go to the suburbs to look at houses.
Although there was a near miss last night, if the commotion was too big, the entire hotel would be affected.
Fang Cheng didn't want the matter to get too big and draw the government's attention, leading to his identity being discovered, so it was better to live in the suburbs temporarily.
The two hailed a taxi outside the hotel. Coincidentally, the driver was the one who took them back yesterday.
The driver even took a look at the two of them to make sure they were not carrying that rag doll.
That spooky-looking rag doll kept him from sleeping well last night.
"Do not worry."
Fang Cheng knew what he was thinking and comforted him, "I've thrown away that doll."
The driver felt relieved and allowed the two of them to get in the car.
On the way to the suburbs, the driver was quite joking and told some interesting things about San Francisco.
Supernatural in North America is very confusing.
Within the People's Revolutionary Federation, superpowers are all created by the government, and they are also under the jurisdiction of the government and act in a unified manner.
The source of superpowers in North America is too complicated.
From the official, private, religious, private institutions, capitalists.
Almost all powerful people will do whatever they can to develop their power in private.
This situation will lead to the proliferation of random and unregulated experiments, accidentally creating a large number of strange ability users.
North Americans have a strong superhero culture, and the doctrine that freedom is actually selfishness is very ingrained in their minds, and they are naturally hostile to the government.
So the two sides are both hostile and cooperative, which is why Homeland Security has so many non-staff personnel.
And there are more wild ability people wandering around in North America. Some call themselves superheroes and exercise justice, while others do evil things and take human life lightly.
The whole of North America appears to be 'Marvel', but is actually 'Black Robe Pickets'.
Driver tells the story of some self-proclaimed superheroes with abilities, who often go around San Francisco to fight against criminals.
Fang Cheng lost interest after listening for a while. Ye Yuqing wore a mask and continued to maintain her aloof persona, but in fact she was very interested in the behavior of these superheroes.
In the People's Revolutionary League, you can either join the official organization and act in unison, or you can be an ordinary person, but it is not as 'free' as in North America.
This is simply a paradise for superheroes and super criminals.
Fang Cheng looked out the car window and found that he had arrived at an intersection with a red light ahead of him with dozens of seconds left.
The taxi they were riding in was sandwiched between vehicles in front and behind, unable to move.
This situation suddenly made Fang Cheng wary.
The next moment, accompanied by the screeching sound of tires, a Shuangcheng bus rushed out of the left side of the intersection out of control.
The bus was moving at almost full speed, swaying, and actually sprinted towards Fang Cheng's car.
There were a large number of passengers on the bus, and they were also screaming like ghosts and wolves.
"Monkey diarrhea!!"
The driver's eyes widened and he let out a scream. He subconsciously wanted to start the car and run away, but he was caught in a long line of traffic in front and back, and there was no place to run.
The bus had crashed through the guardrail in the middle of the road and rushed over with the smell of death.
The driver opened his mouth wide and let out a desperate scream.
"Ah~~~~~~"
The voice became lower and lower, and finally stopped abruptly.
Fang Cheng sat in the back seat, stretched out the window with one hand and pressed it on the front of the bus.
The bus that was originally rushing towards the taxi at full speed came to a strange standstill less than half a meter away from the taxi.
Seeing Fang Cheng holding down the bus with one hand, the driver pulled his hair with both hands, as if he had seen God.
"Oh maiga!"
Not only the bus, but also the screaming passengers on the bus gradually became quiet and looked at each other.
The bus was strangely stalled, but they were not injured due to the inertial fall. Instead, they were held firmly in place by an invisible force.
This is the power of vector control level 4. Although it is not as good as Takashi Uehara, it can stop an out-of-control bus with ease.
Seeing that the red light had passed and many people stopped to watch on the roadside, Fang Cheng used vector control to destroy the bus's engine, then withdrew his arm and said to the driver: "Let's go."
The driver did not move, but continued to look at Fang Cheng with wide eyes: "You...are you a superhero?"
"I'm a super criminal. If you don't drive, I'll take your head off and use it as a ball."
Fang Cheng threatened with a half-smile, and the driver's face immediately changed, and he hurriedly started the car and left.
Ye Yuqing said in District 11 dialect: "The threat of death seems to be more severe than last night."
Fang Cheng nodded.
This out-of-control bus is obviously the influence of Death.
Although it was easily resolved, the power was much more powerful than the two death traps last night.
This god of death will probably create more and more powerful death traps as time goes by.
After seven days, will a meteorite be pulled down directly? Or let the coalition government mistakenly launch a nuclear bomb?
Halfway through, Fang Cheng received a letter on his cell phone.
After working hard for most of the day, Mai Sato finally broke through the firewall of the Department of Homeland Security database and obtained a large amount of confidential information.
These include Death Comes and Evil Spirit Rag Doll, which are sent directly to Fang Cheng's mobile phone.
As expected, both of these are growth-promoting evil events.
Especially when Death comes, it has escaped the category of evil spirits and is rated S in the Department of Homeland Security.
Countries have different evaluation systems for monsters. The Department of Homeland Security's S evaluation is higher than District 11's hazard level A+.
The coming of death is an evil spirit event whose source cannot be solved and can only be avoided.
The data also recorded in detail the killing patterns of the God of Death. Targets targeted by the God of Death would encounter death traps twice a day.
Death Traps will start out weak and become more powerful over time.
But this power has an upper limit, and it will reach the limit on the seventh day. If you survive this day, the God of Death will change its target.
The upper limit of the power of this death trap is equivalent to that of an ace level. On the seventh day, it is equivalent to having to receive two ace level all-out attacks.
No wonder the bald director and the group of non-staff members didn't think Fang Cheng could survive.
Unless he is an ace, no one can directly receive two full-force attacks from another ace, not to mention that the Death God's attacks are mainly weird and mysterious, making them difficult to guard against.
Fang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief after reading the information. Fortunately, there would be no such things as meteorites or nuclear bombs.
He was not afraid of his own death, but afraid that it would affect Ye Yuqing.
As for the trump card, it’s not like he hasn’t played it before.
According to the data, the God of Death will create death traps twice a day, and it seems that there is another one today.
The evil spirit rag doll is much simpler. Although it will keep summoning evil spirits, the strength of these evil spirits is similar, and there is an upper limit on the number. It can summon up to five evil spirits at a time.
Fang Cheng didn't even need to take action, Ye Yuqing could handle it alone. Moreover, the rag doll had been purified and burned, and it was still unknown whether it would reappear.
The driver didn't speak any more along the way, but occasionally used the rearview mirror to observe Fang Cheng and Ye Yuqing.
That look was like looking at an idol.
Fang Cheng ignored him, but was wary of the second wave of Death attacks.
However, when they arrived in the suburbs, the second wave of Death attacks did not appear, but it was still early today, and they might suddenly appear at some point.
When I got off the bus and gave the money, the driver refused to accept anything.
"Superheroes are my idols. You just saved my life. How can I charge you for the car payment?"
The driver still didn't know that the bus was coming for Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng saved a little money and said with a smile: "Don't slander bad people. I even said I am a super criminal."
The driver also smiled: "Okay, Mr. Super Criminal, I wish you good luck."
Fang Cheng and Ye Yuqing said goodbye to him. Before they had walked a few steps, the driver's trembling voice suddenly sounded: "Two... two of you, you left something behind."
The two of them looked back and saw that the rag doll that had been burned that morning was lying quietly on the back seat.
Moreover, the altered clothes and hairstyle were restored to the same as when they first met, dirty and scary.
Fang Cheng and Ye Yuqing looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
I'm afraid this rag doll is not just an ordinary evil spirit. It can recover its resentment after being purified.
Fang Cheng said to the driver: "How about giving it to you?"
The driver looked pale and shook his head. He had observed before that the two people didn't bring anything with them when they got in the car.
Ragdolls suddenly appearing two days in a row are definitely not fun.
Fang Cheng was just joking and took the doll out of the car.
The driver didn't dare to say goodbye and ran away. His intuition told him not to do business with these two people again in the future.
Fang Cheng looked at the rag doll in his hand again, then burned it on fire.
I have no interest in taking it with me, as it will appear again after a while.
Although the place where the two got off the bus was in the suburbs, it didn't look as desolate as the suburbs. There were small garden-style single-family apartments everywhere, lined with greenery and beautiful scenery.
Most of the wealthy people in North America live in the suburbs, while urban areas are mostly populated by black and Hispanic communities.
Although they live in the same country, people with different skin colors are still distinct, and racial segregation has never disappeared.
Fang Cheng chose the suburbs mainly because of its large area and sparse population. Any accident in the city would be a big event, which did not meet his purpose of keeping a low profile.
The two soon met the landlord, an elite white man. He wanted to rent out a duplex apartment with a backyard and a swimming pool for $5,000 a month, not including water and electricity.
The other party obviously thought that Fang Cheng and Ye Yuqing were not from North America, so he opened his mouth and prepared to give them a blow.
Fang Cheng doesn't care at all. He is not short of money or even doesn't love money now. Money is just a number to him.
Looking at a string of 9's in my bank account, I'm not as happy as the money I got from selling my kidney.
And this guy is too happy now. When Fang Cheng stays here for seven days, there is no doubt whether this apartment will exist.
Ye Yuqing is quite satisfied with the environment here. There is a church next to the apartment.
I chose this place specifically because I wanted to see the church, which might be able to suppress the Grim Reaper and the Ragdoll.
Ye Yuqing also saw a man wearing a black robe and a mask driving a car parked at the door of the church, only five or six meters away from the three of them.
Just when she felt something was wrong, two priests walked out of the church surrounded by a group of believers.
