"Da da da" the footsteps of Gao Zhiming and others kept ringing in the empty subway tunnel. They had already come out of the underground city.
No one spoke at the scene, but everyone had quietly taken up their weapons.
According to Olivia's report, the person who had just followed them on the street was now in the darkness behind them and was getting closer and closer.
No one knew who this person was, what his purpose was, or whether he had any accomplices, and the atmosphere in the tunnel became extremely tense.
Regardless of whether the other party knows her true identity or not, Anna has decided to take action in this situation.
Her hand suddenly stretched out from the ground and firmly grasped the man's foot. Then green corrosive flames instantly appeared in front of him and rushed towards his face.
Accompanied by two gunshots, two rapidly spinning bullets also shot towards him.
The other party ignored the bullet and let it pass through his body. He was more afraid of Anna's putrefaction inflammation.
The man pulled out a piece of black cloth from his sleeve and quickly covered Fu Yan with it.
However, the cloth did not have the ability to block the decaying flames and immediately burned into a fireball.
Just as Anna and the others were about to launch the next round of attack, the man quickly raised his hand and took off the hood on his face.
All the attacks came to an abrupt stop at this moment. Looking at the "face" illuminated by the green corrosive flames, Gao Zhiming in the distance ran over excitedly.
"Uncle Mask! You're okay! This is so great!"
This guy turned out to be wearing a clown mask. No wonder Olivia just said that this guy had no memories. It was impossible for him to have memories when he didn't even have a brain.
Anna slowly floated up from the ground, looking at her companion in front of her with slightly opened eyes. She really didn't expect that she would meet the other party under such circumstances.
The masked man placed one hand on his chest, slowly bent down, and saluted Anna very gentlemanly.
"You weren't caught by the IMF?" Anna asked it in surprise.
"I was caught, but I escaped. Since I could escape once, I can certainly escape a second time."
The poker with this information written on it was conjured up by the Joker.
At this time, there were other footsteps in the darkness in the distance. It seemed that other people had come out of underground London.
"Come on, this is not the place to talk, let's go to a safe place to talk."
When the mask was returned to their residence, it began to tell Anna and the others about its experiences.
"I was detained on a deserted island in the Atlantic Ocean. One day, a lot of people appeared out of nowhere and tried to attack that place."
After seeing the newspaper just now, Anna knew who they were. "Luckily you ran fast, otherwise you would have been absorbed into their bodies."
"I took advantage of the time when they were fighting and escaped from that place."
"I knew you wouldn't die. I guessed right." The clown pulled the corners of his mouth hard with his hands, forcing a smile.
It was really happy to see Anna was still alive.
After briefly feeling happy about the return of a companion, Anna began to ask other questions. "Tell me about the situation at that time. When you were captured, what was the situation of the others?"
"There's nothing to say. They came to arrest me, but I knew it in advance, so I secretly hid your other body with Gao Zhiming."
"And I will bring Li Long with me to draw fire for you."
"Where's Li Long? Was he arrested too?"
Hearing this question, Mask shook his head unexpectedly. "I killed him the moment before I was caught. This guy was too weak and I was afraid he would betray you."
I have to say that the other party is really considerate. Not only did he use himself as bait for my sake, but he also considered this.
If the other party was just a superior or subordinate, then after experiencing this incident, they became comrades-in-arms. Anna rarely trusts someone, and now the other party must be one of them.
"Thanks, Mask. If I can ever return to Earthsea, you will have a share of everything I have."
"It's my pleasure."
While the two were reminiscing about the past, Gao Zhiming, who was standing next to them, had red eyes and cried, "Is Uncle Li Long dead? Why did you kill him? He was a good man."
Anna looked at him and patiently followed his explanation: "Some things require trade-offs. The mask is right. Sometimes what determines a person's fate is not whether he is good or not, but whether he has value."
Gao Zhiming stood there in a daze, listening in a daze. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't refute anything.
"After the way I taught this guy, will he become a murderer when he grows up?" Anna was a little worried, but then she changed her mind.
Anyway, these memories will eventually be deleted, so she felt relieved.
After she comforted Gao Zhiming for a few words, she looked at the mask beside her and continued to ask: "What are you doing in underground London? Aren't you afraid that the spies hiding in the crowd will find you?"
"Tuba asked me to pick him up, so I just happened to stop by here to see if I could find anyone else."
"Tuba?" Anna looked very surprised when she heard the clue from another companion.
"He escaped too? I'm afraid it's an IMF trap."
"Probably not. If the IMF knew where I was, they could have sent a task force to capture me instead of setting a trap."
Anna frowned and pondered, weighing the news carefully.
Unlike the mask, this guy Tuba has never helped himself since he was born.
The last incident had made Anna realize that he could live until the moment the Foundation went to Earthsea, but that didn't mean he could keep the people around him alive.
If it's of no help, why contact him again
"I advise you not to go for now. It's too dangerous. Not to mention that Tuba is completely useless. Bringing him around would be a burden."
"Since he thinks I'm dead, let him keep thinking so. Let him run around outside. It's good to let him share some of the IMF's attention."
When Anna said this, the mask shook his head and said, "He has no ability at all, but he was able to take his mother and escape from the shelter without anyone noticing."
"This has proven his powerful ability. Maybe he is very unstable when using this ability, but I think it will definitely come in handy in the future."
"Also, he could easily guess my location, which is amazing in itself."
Hearing this, Anna thought to herself, "Could it be that after what happened last time, this guy has begun to awaken his abilities?"
If you think about it carefully, this is not impossible. If it is true, a Tuba who can predict the future will definitely be very useful to you.
"Where is he and Li Lu now?"
“In Norway.”
