"You're so naive... Ricardo!"
A thunderous sound, like the beating of drums, suddenly came from Neo the Pig's chest, just as it had when he activated the Bronze Throne earlier.
Lu Mingfei reacted extremely quickly, immediately leaping backward. The envoy rolled to the side on the ground to get away, then pulled out two silver Desert Eagles and aimed them at Neo the Boar.
Neo the boar roared loudly, his veins began to bulge, and all his muscles were trembling.
Two seconds later, dark red blood gushed out from the wound on his back, like a small fountain.
He killed himself. Although he couldn't control his body, he could still control his heart, so he let all the blood in his body gush out from the wound, killing himself completely and giving no one a chance to save him.
After a person dies, the effects of the Word of Power immediately dissipate, the Bronze Throne becomes ineffective, and Neo the Pig begins to shrink, becoming grotesque and thin.
He had only one breath left, and he murmured something. Lu Mingfei walked closer to him and squatted down slightly to listen.
“I have no chance to go to any sanatorium, the medical community won’t let me go… Besides, a free boar… should run freely until he dies…” Neo the boar calmly closed his eyes.
Lu Mingfei slowly stood up, looked up at the clear night sky. Neo the Pig was dead, but the world hadn't changed much. Perhaps a new gang leader would be elected here tomorrow to continue Neo the Pig's legacy.
At this moment, Gu Ran came to Lu Mingfei's side, holding a black cloth in his hand, and gently covered the corpse of the boar Neo.
“Perhaps, this is the best ending for him,” Gu Ran said. “What goes around comes around.”
“I know,” Lu Mingfei said. “I’m used to it.”
……
When the task force arrived, Lu Mingfei and Gu Ran were sitting on the wall of the ruins, drinking beer together.
The commandos surrounded Neo the boar, who was covered with a black cloth. One of them went up and lifted the cloth, only to find that Neo the boar was already dead.
This means the mission is over.
"Senior brother, senior brother, long live Senior Brother Ricardo! Long live Senior Brother Gu Ran!"
Not far away, the freshmen began to gather around and cheer for the two.
The battle just now was broadcast live by EVA.
From the moment Gu Ran punched Neo the Pig away, to Lu Mingfei's arrival and the ensuing fierce battle with Neo the Pig, everything was clearly visible to everyone.
Although EVA cut off the final chat segment, judging from the state of Neo's corpse, the two must have had a major battle with Neo.
The freshmen cheered for Gu Ran and Lu Mingfei's names, while the remaining commando members were somewhat embarrassed. They were all senior action specialists who had contributed a lot to this mission, but they were overshadowed by two students who had not yet graduated, and they became mere extras.
After a while, countless sirens blared and began to surround the scene from all directions, but they stopped a few hundred meters away from the scene.
The academy's agent has already made connections with the local law enforcement. The politicians in charge of law enforcement don't care about the inside story. All they need to do is take a look at Neo's corpse, take a picture, hold a press conference tomorrow, and announce the killing of the gang leader. That's how they'll achieve their political goals.
The task force began the cleanup work, putting Neo the boar's carcass in a body bag and loading it onto a milk truck for transport.
The remaining people began to clean up the traces at the scene. EVA took control of all the surveillance cameras in the area to ensure that no electronic data was left behind.
Construction teams will also come in and repair most of the damaged buildings overnight, especially filling in the craters.
Tomorrow, another group of reporters will arrive to interview key eyewitnesses, while also paying them to shut up, or using online trolls to spread rumors that the Hulk transformed and fought here yesterday, in order to confuse the public.
Anyway, the Hulk did come to South America; that's how it was depicted in the Marvel movie "The Hulk".
Chapter 626 Want to see you
Lu Mingfei held the beer bottle in both hands: "They clearly gave Neo the chance to live, but he didn't want it. It seems that freedom is indeed more important than life."
“People in the academy are all a bit stubborn, you know that,” Gu Ran said.
Gu Ran called Victoria over: "Take your classmates out for a late-night snack. Just say it's on us. You pay first, and then ask Li Enshu for reimbursement when you get back to school."
"President, what about you?" Victoria asked expectantly. "The students really want to meet you and Ricardo and hear your stories."
“Ricardo is injured, I need to take him to get treatment.” Gu Ran suddenly picked up Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei was about to say that he was fine, but he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head. He reached up and touched it, and there was blood on it.
Victoria saw the back of Lu Mingfei's head and discovered a metal block embedded in his skull.
"Let's go." Gu Ran carried Lu Mingfei and ran into the night. As he ran, he said to EVA through his earpiece, "Senior sister, ask for sick leave for me and Lu Mingfei."
“Okay, Lu Mingfei has been working non-stop on so many tasks, he deserves a rest.” EVA agreed. “Is there anything else I can do?”
"It would be even better if you could help us write the report," Gu Ran said.
“If I were to write the report for you, it would be recorded. After all, I am just an artificial intelligence, so you still have to write the report yourselves. But you can write an outline, and I will help you improve and polish it.”
"Thanks."
*……*……*
"Hey, where are you taking me?" In the darkness, Lu Mingfei was carried on Gu Ran's shoulder, bouncing up and down like a ninja jumping off a roof.
"You'll find out in a little while," Gu Ran said.
"No, I think I've lost too much blood, I'm a little dizzy..." Lu Mingfei said, his eyes glazed over.
"Take a deep breath, it's normal to feel dizzy." Gu Ran smiled, and in a flash, he pulled the metal block off the back of his head with his hand. Then, he used his palm magic to press on his wound to stop the bleeding and heal him.
Lu Mingfei felt dizzy, but in his daze, he felt a comfortable sensation on the back of his head, as if someone was massaging it.
So, in a daze, he fell asleep.
When Lu Mingfei woke up again, he found himself in an apartment.
He woke up on the sofa and subconsciously touched the back of his head, finding that the bleeding had stopped. Someone had bandaged his head, but the bandage was very simple, just wrapped around it twice.
He untied the cable ties, glanced at them, and saw no bloodstains.
It seems that his self-healing ability has already healed the wound on his head.
He looked around and realized that it seemed to be an apartment building. Gu Ran was sitting on the balcony, enjoying the sea breeze and drinking beer.
There is an antique pendulum clock in the living room, which shows that it is now 2 a.m. local time.
He stepped out onto the balcony and glanced outside. The sea breeze was blowing in his face. The apartment had a view of the Atlantic Ocean, and the summer evening breeze was even more comfortable than air conditioning.
Lu Mingfei looked around the balcony and found that it was a detached villa by the sea, which looked like a vacation home. However, there was only one house in the area, on a cliff by the coast.
Overall, the environment here is very tranquil, making it a great place for a vacation.
"Why did you bring me here?" Lu Mingfei plopped down in the wicker chair, picked up Gu Ran's beer bottle, and took a swig.
Gu Ran didn't answer, but just smiled at him: "Are you hungry? I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."
"Oh, okay, I'm actually a little hungry..." Lu Mingfei looked at his ambiguous smile, "Why do I feel like your smile is particularly... lewd?"
As he spoke, he crossed his arms and said, "Don't come any closer, I'm not gay."
"How could that be? I have a girlfriend, you know that!" Gu Ran took out his phone and made a call, "Hey, cook two bowls of noodles with luncheon meat and eggs."
The person on the other end of the phone tapped the receiver to indicate that they understood, and then hung up.
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Little Fairy. By the way, when are you two getting married?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"I'll have to wait until I graduate from university the year after next, but Su's father is already picking a date for the wedding."
"So you had it all planned out... I really envy you, having such clear life goals." Lu Mingfei said with emotion, "I don't know what tomorrow will bring, and apart from slaying dragons and doing quests, it seems like I have no other pursuit in life."
"Not chasing girls anymore?" Gu Ran asked with a smile.
"No girls to pick up."
"Oh..." Gu Ran opened her mouth.
At this moment, the sound of something being lit and fried came from the kitchen on the first floor. After Lu Mingfei's abilities were enhanced, his hearing became extremely sensitive.
"Who's cooking noodles? Su Xiaoqiang?" Lu Mingfei guessed that Gu Ran had brought his fiancée along.
"Of course not, why would I torture a single dog like you!"
"Ouch, that hurts, bro. No need to call me a single guy." Lu Mingfei pulled another bottle of beer from the ice bucket. He glanced at the bottle and realized that it was actually a craft beer from Tsingtao.
"No wonder the beer tasted so familiar!" Lu Mingfei laughed. "I can still taste the familiar beer after traveling across the ocean."
Then, he smelled a familiar aroma of instant noodles: "There's also braised beef noodles!"
Gu Ran said, "I still have Mimi, do you want some?"
"Who wants to eat your boobs?"
"I'm talking about Mimi Shrimp Chips." Gu Ran pulled a bag of Mimi from his clothes. "Here you go!"
Lu Mingfei smiled and opened a bag of shrimp chips to go with his wine.
At that moment, it seemed that the noodles had been cooked in the kitchen on the first floor, and someone was carrying things upstairs.
Lu Mingfei looked around the living room, very curious about who the visitor was.
Then, he saw a familiar figure.
“Eri?” Lu Mingfei recognized Erii at a glance when he saw her chestnut-colored long hair and white taffeta dress.
He was taken aback: "Why are you here?"
Erii carried three buckets of instant noodles and placed them on the table on the balcony, then dragged a chair over and sat down.
"She said she missed you so much. I saw her at the beach every day like a statue waiting for her husband, so I brought her here." Gu Ran placed a bucket of instant noodles in front of Lu Mingfei, then took one for himself and left the last one for Erii.
"It's too crowded here, I'll go eat on the first floor." With that, Gu Ran, holding a bucket of instant noodles, actually flipped over and jumped downstairs.
Lu Mingfei glanced at it and saw that his instant noodles hadn't spilled at all.
What a strong control!
After Erii sat down, she wrote in her notebook for Lu Mingfei to see: "I want to see you."
Lu Mingfei scratched his head, and finally managed to say, "Long time no see!"
Erii nodded, then wrote in her notebook: "Try the instant noodles I cooked."
"Oh!" Lu Mingfei opened the instant noodle lid. It was a cup of instant noodles, soaked in water, with luncheon meat and a fried egg inside, all of which Erii had just fried.
Lu Mingfei gently picked up the egg and took a bite, the sweet yolk overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Mmm, not bad, the eggs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, superb!" he praised.
Erii smiled with satisfaction, then took a piece of paper from the table and wiped the egg yolk from the corner of Lu Mingfei's mouth.
Speaking of which, when he ate at the student council, his personal assistant, Isabel, would occasionally wipe his mouth. At first, he was a little shy, after all, Isabel was a famous beauty. But later he got used to it, just like a rich young master who was used to being taken care of by his maid.
