Manhattan, Hell's Kitchen.
The police car roared in, frightening all the indigenous people here to shrink back into their rooms.
This is also the reason why Gu Bei chose to pretend to be nypd.
There is a saying that the degree of freedom in the United States is far beyond what ordinary people imagine. The "freedom" they define in their mouths is actually "not restricted" in the name of human nature.
In their definition, freedom does not mean "what you can do", but "you can do anything."
But this is also the drawback of "freedom".
for example.
Freedom of belief is respected here, but if you tell an extreme believer that you don't believe in religion, he will curse you to hell, but he has not done anything wrong because speech is free.
You are free to eat what you want, but when you eat a burger in a KFC, radical vegetarians will jump out and insult you, even insulting your personality.
These are very common phenomena.
Even the officials in each state cannot restrict the occurrence of this situation, because once you use official power to stop it, then you are restricting freedom of speech. If it is at the least, your position under the butt is not guaranteed, and if it is more seriously, it will be infamy for thousands of years.
Individualism taken to its extreme is freedom without restrictions.
If some people are not restricted, it will inevitably infringe on the freedom of other groups of people.
In this cycle, freedom becomes a breeding ground for violence, and what is born from it is the free jackal hiding in Hell's Kitchen.
Gu Bei already had an idea when he heard the address from Ben.
He and Nono came to a place like this. Those dogs that smelled the smell of blood didn't know what a hybrid was. In their eyes, boys and girls were very suitable targets.
If you bring Angers with you...it will look even easier to bully.
The boy, girl and old man have six waists in total.
So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Bei "borrowed" disguise clothes and cars from the "enthusiastic" NYPD.
Of course, there was also the reason why the rookie police officer committed suicide, otherwise Gu Bei wouldn't have targeted him.
Facts proved that Gu Bei's judgment was correct.
Although Hell's Kitchen is chaotic, it is still part of Manhattan. In order to protect the interests of the rich, the PDs here are all the elite of the elite, and they are completely different creatures from the blood-sucking guys in Queens.
At least they have an extraordinary intimidation effect on Hell's Kitchen.
Hell's Kitchen exists because they still need to exist, not because of the incompetence of the Manhattan police.
The cockroaches in the kitchen were frightened by the police car and dispersed. Gu Bei and Nuonuo were so happy that they drove straight in and arrived at the location provided by Ben.
A pure white two-story building that is incompatible with the surrounding environment. The signboard on the door has been removed and placed beside the door, as if waiting for the arrival of guests.
Gu Bei smacked his lips: "It seems we are indeed late."
Nuonuo was stunned. Judging from Gu Bei's words, he seemed to have expected this situation.
However, Gu Bei didn't give her time to ask questions, and got out of the car after just one sentence.
Nuonuo also opened the door and got out of the car, and quickly followed.
The two entered the clinic one after another, and people around them poked their heads out of the room.
The natives of Hell's Kitchen are not fools. On the contrary, they are definitely the most shrewd and thoughtful people among human beings.
Everyone knows that there are only two kinds of people who can take root in Hell's Kitchen.
One kind, with strength and background, and maybe even a bit special.
The other kind is the dumb guy who doesn't understand anything.
Of course, although they didn't know the details of Brian's Clinic, they all had a tacit understanding not to disturb this guy who suddenly broke into Hell's Kitchen.
They didn't think this person would be a fool.
Therefore, when the Brian Clinic was established, everything was calm and there was no one running around to collect protection fees.
Everyone tacitly avoided this dragon crossing the river.
Now, the dragon crossing the river is gone, but the dragon's nest remains.
This area has an excellent view, and almost everyone saw "Brian" wearing a white coat leaving the area empty-handed.
The jackals had reason to believe that there must be dragon treasures left in the dragon's nest, so they all focused on the location of Brian's clinic.
But no one made the first move.
Shoot the first bird.
Although the United States does not have this old saying, it does not mean that Americans do not understand this truth.
No one wants to be the cannon fodder charging into the battle. Everyone is holding their breath and wants to be the fisherman who caught the snipe and the clam.
At this time, if someone goes up to explore the way first, that is naturally very good.
So what if it’s a note?
Rather, Tiaozi is the best person to explore the road.
Watching a man and a woman push open the door and walk into the room, the scum around them all stared intently at the small clinic, waiting for any movement to come from inside.
But there's one thing they don't understand...
Since when did police officers in Manhattan recruit yellow-skinned people? There are women? And how old are these two people... have they graduated from high school?
But these things are secondary.
For hyenas, prey is all that matters.
Everyone began to calm down and wait.
Gu Bei and Nuonuo walked into the clinic. After entering the door, they were in the lobby.
Nono looked at Gu Bei: "What did you mean by what you just said?"
Gu Bei was stunned: "What are you talking about?"
Nuonuo was furious and was about to step on Gu Bei's instep, but Gu Bei stepped out of the way. He could only ask with a sullen face, "You said we were indeed late, as if you knew it a long time ago."
"Oh, you said that."
Gu Bei looked at the layout of the hall.
There is nothing fancy, ordinary tile floors, composite board counters, and some charts and other things, which seem to be data left by the front desk receptionist.
Gu Bei picked up the register and flipped through it, and replied: "It's not that I knew it a long time ago, but we are always under each other's surveillance."
Hearing this, Nuonuo was a little shocked: "You said we are always being watched? How is this possible? If we are always being watched, and you are so strong, why don't you catch that person? And the principal, there is no way the principal is not there Are you aware of it!?"
"Who said Angers didn't notice it?"
Gu Bei flipped through the register without raising his head: "You have never thought about why nothing happened when we went to find Ben Parker. But after Angers came, the group hid quite well. The guy who even deceived me suddenly ran out to die?"
"Also, why did Angers go to see the family after he left the Parker family? Which family to meet? He had just arrived in New York, and we were following him the whole time. Why did he suddenly go to see the local family? Just for that I don’t know what the word that starts with f means?”
Nuonuo was speechless when Gu Bei said: "Does this mean someone is really watching us? Then now..."
Gu Bei curled his lips and said, "I'm talking to you about this matter."
Nuonuo understood that if someone was still monitoring them, it was unlikely that Gu Bei would just talk to her about it.
"Then why don't you find the person spying on us?"
"Because I can't find it."
"Can't find it? What do you mean?"
Gu Beidao: "Because there are more than one group of people spying on us, one of them has nothing to do with us, and their target is Angers, so Angers hurriedly went to find them, while the purpose of the other group is not yet known, and although I I sensed his presence, but I couldn't catch him."
"Can't catch it?"
"Do you know fate?"
Nono felt a little touched
Confused: "What does this have to do with fate?"
Gu Bei patiently explained: "Destiny refers to a person's established trajectory in life. This trajectory is not specific to what you eat in the morning or what you dream about at night, but it will interfere with every major choice in your life. , just like...you chose to resist the Chen family."
Gu Bei looked at Nuonuo's confused eyes and spoke eloquently: "You think that resisting the Chen family is your all-time wish and your own choice, but in fact, it is a choice that fate guides you to make. Everything you go through before making this choice will eventually return to the choice itself."
"Fate cannot be resisted. Even if he is as powerful as Black King Nidhogg, he thinks he has escaped the shackles of fate, but he does not know that he just jumped from a well into a larger well."
Nono was a little impatient: "What does this have to do with us being monitored? Are you going to tell me that the person monitoring us is not actually with us, but is observing us by spying on our destiny!?"
Gu Bei was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Nono with a very strange look.
Nuonuo was so frightened by what he saw that he twisted around and said in an unbelievable tone: "What do you think? You couldn't have been tricked by me, right?"
Gu Bei's eyes became even stranger, and then he nodded under Nono's horrifying gaze.
Nono: "...No way! Don't be too ridiculous!"
Gu Bei spread his hands: "But that's the truth. I didn't expect you to be quite clever sometimes. I underestimated you."
Nono opened her mouth wide and didn't close it for a while. She was still trying to accept this fact.
Gu Bei ignored her and lowered his head to continue reading the visitor registration.
After a while, Nono closed his mouth, still doubtful: "Since you said that the other party was peeking into fate, how did you find out?"
Gu Bei thought for a while and found that this question was a bit difficult to explain: "You can't understand this thing when it's being told to you, so you just understand it as... a strange magic. Yes, it's some kind of strange magic."
"Exotic magic...can it actually be done to this extent?"
Nuonuo still couldn't believe it, but she was digesting Gu Bei's words in a way that she could understand. For example, when Gu Bei said "Xing Qi", she would understand it as spiritual practice; when Gu Bei said medicine, she thought of it as alchemy.
Now that Gu Bei talked about the magical magic of fate, she couldn't find a suitable magic for a while, so she could only use the divination to understand it.
But it was actually not as mysterious as she thought.
Gu Bei is just practicing strange arts. Once his static skills reach a certain level, he will have some kind of connection with the source of the world. As a warlock, Gu Bei's inspiration will occasionally sense destiny.
Just like he sensed Ben Parker that night, it wasn't that he wanted to be involved, but that fate was pushing him to do so.
After discovering that the snoop was doing the same thing, Destiny slapped Gu Bei on the back of the head and told him, "Little turtle grandson, there is a turtle grandson spying on you. You kid, be careful."
Although destiny is not so down-to-earth, it has a similar meaning.
And he also had some guesses about the person peeping at him from behind.
After all, among the many human-dragon hybrids he knew, not many could do this.
But when he thought that this matter was also involved with that guy, Gu Bei felt a little heavy.
hope everything is fine.
Nuonuo shook his head and stood there blankly thinking about fate.
Gu Bei flipped through the names in the registration book page by page. Finally, his eyes stopped on a certain page and he narrowed his eyes: "Found it."
Nuonuo was awakened by Gu Bei's voice and came back from her thoughts: "What did you find?"
Gu Bei picked up the pen on the front desk, circled a few names on the register, and handed it to Nono.
Nuonuo took it and took a look, and was shocked.
"This is……"
"It's the ten victims and Ben Parker's visit.
Record. "
Nono connected his thoughts: "In other words, these two things are indeed related, and the murderer is indeed this 'Brian'. "
"maybe."
Gu Bei put the register into a storage ring. This thing can also be called a bag, but Gu Bei felt that this name was too middle-class, so he changed it.
Nuonuo watched the registration book disappear in Gu Bei's hands, feeling calm in her heart.
Not to mention that she had seen this method before, even if she hadn't, she wouldn't act like a country bumpkin.
In fact, even if Gu Bei performed a reversal of time on the spot, she wouldn't be too surprised. She would only feel that "it is indeed a strange skill."
Gu Bei looked around: "It's quite big here. Let's search separately. You search the first floor, and I'll go to the second floor."
Nono nodded: "Okay, but..."
"But what?"
Nuonuo looked outside the door hesitantly: "What are you going to do with those people outside?"
As a master of profiling, Nono naturally noticed something strange as soon as she entered Hell's Kitchen. Although she had an A-level bloodline and good fighting ability, she had no speech spirit. She was definitely at a disadvantage when facing so many jackals, tigers and leopards.
If she had come by herself, she would probably have turned around and left after seeing this scene.
The little miko is not a stupid miko. She is a second-rate witch who forces her way in even though she knows she can't defeat him.
Thanks to the humanoid dragon sitting next to him who could tear apart the next generation with his hands, Nono had the courage to drive in.
Gu Bei didn't react at first. He turned his head and looked out through the glass door before he understood.
"It doesn't matter, they are just a bunch of scum. It doesn't matter if they don't provoke us. If there is someone who dares to take advantage of someone who doesn't want his life, then there is no need to keep him since he doesn't want his life."
