Chapter 18 Inducing a Confession
The civil strife made all industries in New York depressed, and the prosperous scene in the past was no longer there. The tourism industry was the first to be hit. The reduction in tourists has left a large number of hotel suites vacant, and those hotel owners have introduced various discounts and preferential conditions in order to sell the rooms.
Shen Yi and the others chose to stay at the Empire Holiday Hotel - one of the best hotels in the United States.
You can live in the presidential suite for only 200 US dollars, which was something that no one could have imagined before.
For the sake of safety, although the six people requested three rooms, the other two rooms were just a cover-up.
After a day of fighting, everyone wants to take a bath and have a good rest.
When Wen Wen came out of the bathroom, she walked barefoot on the gorgeous carpet, wearing a high-end pajamas, with a bath towel wrapped around her head, her two snow-white arms were exposed, and she was in a graceful posture, which made several men Drooling.
Hong Lang sighed in admiration: "I really don't understand how a girl like you would go to become a policeman. With your figure and face, there are many good jobs waiting for you."
Gentle gave him a supercilious look: "Are you sure that the jobs you get with your figure and face are all good jobs?"
Hong Lang wisely shut up, while King Kong and Shen Yi covered their mouths and smiled.
King Kong said: "Actually, with a gentle appearance, it's not bad to wear a police uniform. How can I describe it?"
Shen Yi replied: "A heroic figure?"
"Yes." King Kong patted his thigh: "This is it."
Gentle and proud smile.
Shen Yi suddenly changed his tone: "There is another word called uniform temptation."
Gentle, ashamed and angry, grabbed an ashtray and threw it at Shen Yi, Shen Yi laughed and hid in the bathroom.
After entering the bathroom, Shen Yi's laughing expression gradually disappeared, becoming dignified and serious.
Wenrou is a careful girl. After bathing, she took the initiative to fill the bath with water.
Lying in the bathtub that can accommodate four people, Shen Yi closed his eyes, and his mind was full of scenes of fighting during the day.
The shock brought by the adventurer from the North District had already deeply touched him.
He has always been very confident that he is not only the best in the bloody city, but also definitely the best in strength in the same difficulty area. Although he is not good at fighting, he never thinks that he will lose to anyone in battle.
Even for a close-combat adventurer like Hong Lang, when Shen Yi faced him, he was confident enough to defeat him.
But Shen Yi, the adventurer in the North District today, clearly understands that if he fights him one-on-one, he has no hope of winning.
As soon as he thought of the adventurer taking the initiative against Wen Rou Hong Lang with only ordinary fighting, Shen Yi felt chills in his heart.
He realized that his first two missions were so successful that he underestimated others. And the adventurer from the northern district gave him a blow to the head, reminding him that in this bloody city world, there are many strong people.
They may not be magnificent, but they are amazingly powerful, and they also have the courage and bravery to ignore life and death.
It's not unknown to Shen Yi, an expert-level fighting specialist, but Shen Yi has never heard of anyone who can be so powerful just by relying on the basic ability of expert-level fighting. It can be seen that ability is only one aspect, and what is more important is the person who uses it.
What is certain is that even if Shen Yi possesses expert-level fighting, it is impossible for him to have the crazy, fast, fierce and staunch fighting style of that adventurer.
This style of play is not something that expert-level fighting specializations can give.
All abilities are just to enable you to do something, but how to do it and how to bring it out still depends on the user himself.
The adventurer's bloodthirsty and crazy character is what makes him so powerful. Even if he doesn't have expert-level fighting specialization, I'm afraid he can dare to fight against Hong Lang and Wen Rou, and he can still not lose the wind. At best, it's just that the damage effect of normal attacks is lowered.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi suddenly became enlightened.
Those abilities are like tools given to you by Bloody City,
How to use it well depends on the user himself, just being able to use it is far from enough.
At this moment, there was a sudden ding sound from the bloody coat of arms.
Bloody Emblem Reminder: Your understanding of combat has improved, and you have entered a talent awakening period in this mission world. During the talent awakening period, the Blood Emblem will evaluate your fighting style and make special judgments. The awakening period is 24 to 48 hours. Within 48 hours, you must use your special skills to fight as much as possible. During this period, the Blood Emblem will formally identify your specialty systematically and formally awaken your talent.
This prompt made Shen Yi stunned for a while.
Is this how the talent was activated?
It turns out that the so-called talent is actually a specialty.
To activate the talent is to formally enter the systematic procedure of the adventurer's special fighting style.
A human being is a kind of life that cannot be counted, but the bloody city has endowed him with attributes that can be counted. Since lives can be counted, specialties should be the same.
That's what talent is all about.
The only problem is: Shen Yi doesn't know what his talent is, and he doesn't know what kind of fighting style he is good at.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi couldn't help but smile wryly: "People seem to be unable to see clearly themselves. Maybe the awakening period of talent is a process of self-awareness. You have to know what you are good at and what you are not good at, and then you can use your strengths. On the right path. And me? What the hell am I good at?"
He put his arms behind his head, leaned on the edge of the bathtub, stared blankly at the ceiling, and pondered for a long time.
—————————————
When he came out of the bathroom, Hong Lang was already waiting impatiently.
Shen Yi glared at him angrily: "You won't go to another room to take a bath?"
"This is the presidential suite. It's different. I've never had the chance to live in it before." Hong Lang laughed.
Shen Yi smiled and punched him, Hong Lang dodged sideways, unexpectedly, Shen Yi stepped up to keep up, and immediately bumped into Hong Lang with his left elbow, Hong Lang hit him with a backhand, trying to push Shen Yi out, Shen Yi was short Turning around, his left hand had already drawn an arc in the air, hitting Hong Lang's lower abdomen hard.
Hong Lang screamed strangely: "Are you serious?"
He was not polite, he raised his leg and kicked Shen Yi, Shen Yi leaned back to dodge, and pushed Hong Lang's leg with his right hand, which made him a little unbalanced, and at the same time one foot kicked Hong Lang's knee, Hong Lang was kicked by Shen Yi and fell to the ground with a plop. People are always used to grabbing something before they fall, and with a wave of his hand, he hit a vase beside him.
Seeing that the vase was about to fall to the ground, Shen Yi had already stood beside the vase, stretched out his legs and hooked the vase, grabbed it and put it back in place.
Hong Lang was stunned by this hand, and shouted: "How is this possible? How do you know?"
Shen Yi smiled faintly: "When I came out, I was going to ask you to practice moves, so I pre-estimated the punching route and possible reactions, and the rest is to execute."
"I'm asking about the vase."
"That's not within the scope of calculation, but I included it into variable factors. Although it cannot be calculated, it can be dealt with." Shen Yi replied with a smile.
Hong Lang shook his head: "I don't understand."
Shen Yi shrugged: "To be honest, I don't really understand. I just try to fight, think, and try various possibilities in the way I like. When I kicked your knee, I quickly analyzed what you might do. I'm not sure that the vase will fall, but it doesn't matter whether it will fall or not, what matters is whether I got into the right place at the right time."
"Why make it so complicated?"
Shen Yi talked about the fact that he entered the talent awakening period just now.
"You mean, you can already awaken your talent?" King Kong was very curious.
Shen Yi spread his hands: "It's just entering the talent awakening period, which is completely different from the formal awakening. Talent is the only ability in the bloody city's force system that varies from person to person. Everyone has different talents and can play different roles. It can be said to be the least fair reward in the bloody city."
"So what exactly is your talent?" asked gently and concernedly.
"I don't know either." Shen Yi replied helplessly.
Before his talent was officially awakened, Shen Yi himself didn't know what his talent was, so he could only try various methods as much as possible to see what he was good at. You must know that a person may be good at many things. For example, Shen Yi is good at cooking, and he has always been interested in making food by himself, but he doesn't want Bloody City to think that his talent is cooking, and set his talent in cooking. Cooking. If that's the case, it's a big mess.
So even if opening a talent is to develop one's own strengths, it must also be treated with caution.
Several people chatted and laughed for a while, Shen Yi asked the fat man to bring the boy over. Fatty has no other skills, but he is good at coaxing children, and he works hard without complaint, taking on all the tedious work that everyone doesn't want to do.
When the boy came in, Shen Yi was holding the electronic map to check it carefully, and not far away was Wen Rou, who was reading a book with gusto.
Every time Shen Yi's hand points to a place, the corresponding building on the map will show a three-dimensional image and zoom in before his eyes.
The little boy had never seen such technology before, and there was great surprise in his eyes.
"Sit down." Shen Yi pointed to the opposite sofa without raising his head.
The boy stood there without moving.
Shen Yi looked up at him, and said, "That's not a request."
The boy sat down reluctantly.
Shen Yi continued to lower his head to observe the map: "What's your name?"
"Jerry Lacio." The fat man answered quickly.
Shen Yi said coldly: "I'm not asking you."
The fat man shut up immediately.
Shen Yi asked again: "What's your name?"
The little boy replied unwillingly: "Jerry Lacio...you devil!"
Shen Yi chuckled: "Luo Hao, this little guy is much more courageous than you."
The fat man smiled and touched the back of his head.
"So... Jerry Lacio, can you tell me some news about the mutant colony? Because of your naughty, I lost the clue to find the mutants, and you must make up for it."
The little boy curled his mouth: "I don't know... Even if I know, I won't tell you."
"It seems that you know it. I advise you to speak out. Although I don't want to do anything to a child, if you really want to force me..."
"Come whatever you want! I'm not afraid of you!" the little guy yelled.
At that moment, the stubborn expression of this little boy formed a vivid picture in Shen Yi's memory - he seemed to see himself when he was a child.
Shen Yi stared at him blankly for a while, then he burst out laughing suddenly.
Shaking his head, Shen Yi walked up to Rourou and said, "Guess what I thought of just now?"
"What?" Gentle asked.
"I thought about our last mission, the German major general. The major general also said to me about threatening that child. I suddenly felt that I would be like a Nazi, threatening a child and forcing him to say Tell the whereabouts of his kind, betray his countrymen. I'm like a fucked SS officer, looking for Jews everywhere..."
"That's not your fault, and there's nothing we can do about it."
"But that doesn't mean I can do the same things as them." Shen Yi turned to look at the child.
"Then do you have any other options?"
"No, I can't do anything to a child." Shen Yi replied: "Let's give up the idea of getting information from that child."
This answer made Wenrou and Fatty sigh at the same time, and the little boy showed joy. At that moment, he felt like a little hero who defeated the enemy, raising his head high.
Everyone looked a little frustrated, and as for the little boy, it seemed like no one was interested in caring about him anymore.
The little guy had nothing to do, studying the map on the table.
It was the first time for him to see this kind of high-tech map that can magnify every point on the map into a three-dimensional image, and he was very curious.
He clicked on this building for a while, and clicked that building for a while, having a great time.
"How is this map made? It's just amazing?" the boy exclaimed.
"Technology beyond the era, but it can't be used to help us find the person we want to find." Shen Yi sighed and returned to the boy, and played the game of zooming in and out with the boy.
His finger landed on a shopping mall on 198th Street, and the three-dimensional image of the shopping mall appeared immediately, including doors, windows, and floors, all in detail.
Shen Yi pointed to the building and said: "We know that the mutants are in a certain corner of 198th Street, but we don't know where they are. Maybe it's in this building? Or in other places? At least 198th Street has Dozens of malls."
"You don't even want to find them in your life." The boy replied triumphantly.
"That's not necessarily the case." Shen Yi pressed back the building he clicked just now, and put his finger on the intersection of 198 Street: "If a mutant wants to hide himself, he must meet several basic conditions. One: It must be a For a suitable hiding place, the space needs to be large enough, and it is better to have more people coming and going, which is conducive to their concealment. Two: They must have a retreat, so the best hiding place is a place where the roads extend in all directions. They will not choose to be on the street The central government hides itself. If that is the case, the troops of the US government only need to separate and outflank the two ends of the street. Unless they are mutants with the ability to escape, most people will not be able to escape. Three: If there are too many people, you have to eat, mutants People are human beings, and they also need to live. If you can choose a hiding place near a shopping mall or a supermarket, you can solve many unnecessary problems. From these aspects, the most suitable hiding place for mutants should be 198 Street In the East District Square area, the roads here are normal, there are many pedestrians, and the traffic is convenient."
The boy's face changed slightly, obviously Shen Yi had hit the mark.
But the next moment he quickly recovered his composure: "There are three large supermarkets, four large shopping malls, two large parking lots, a financial exchange and a large square in the East District Plaza, and there are countless small shops. If you have Just be patient and look for it slowly. I promise you won’t find it even if you look for it for a year.”
"That's right, so I still need the exact address."
"I won't tell you." The boy said triumphantly.
He clicked back and forth at the buildings in the East Side Plaza on 198th Street, his expression flying.
Shen Yi sat there motionless, watching the boy's fingers dance on the map.
After a while, he suddenly said: "In addition to three large supermarkets, four large shopping malls, and two large parking lots in the East District Plaza, there is also a very conspicuous large building, why didn't you mention it just now?"
The boy froze, Shen Yi's finger had landed on a certain point on the map.
The image of a tall building immediately appeared in front of the boy.
Isborough Catholic Church.
The little boy's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he looked at Shen Yi in horror.
Shen Yi said indifferently: "You mentioned so many places just now, but this place didn't mention it. I deliberately lured you to touch those buildings on the square in the East District. Basically all your buildings have been touched. Only this, you can't even touch it. None. Why?"
The boy's body was shaking.
"They're hiding there." Shen Yi stood up, turned his head and said to Rou Rou: "Tomorrow morning, attack the church."
"Bastard! You lied to me!" The boy yelled angrily.
Shen Yi turned around and entered his room.
—————————————
A few friends persuaded me just now, thinking about it is right, there is no point in entanglement.
Thinking about it now, the matter actually originated from a basic opinion of mine:
That's what I think: readers have the right to speak, and I can't delete posts at will.
However, considering that some remarks may not be correct and will affect other readers who have not read the book, I will explain it.
For this reason, the more the results are explained, the more the flames of war will grow.
In the end, someone came out and scolded me, and I scolded back.
At this point, I made a big mistake.
So I changed my mind.
In the future, if I find unfair book reviews in the book review area, I will not explain it, but I will delete the post.
Just now a reader commented on breaking the update. I know he didn't have any malicious intentions, it was just a joke, but considering the influence of the readers, I deleted the post. After all, I haven't broken it.
I hope everyone understands this point.
This may be the only way not to fight.
