MM Racing Chapter 55 Why?! Not a single person has died!
Chapter 55 Why?! Not a single person has died!
"Run!" Lorne shouted in his heart, still somewhat uncertain about the success of this sneak attack.
Since the opponent was also an extraordinary being, and without knowing the opponent's abilities and sequence, he was unsure how effective the sneak attack would be.
Moreover, unlike the last time he was forced to defend himself against that woman, this time he was taking the initiative, so he was somewhat nervous.
"This guy doesn't seem as strong as that woman from last time; I should be able to handle him."
I'll give you 10 more seconds.
Lorne counted down in his mind.
10…8…6…5…4
3…2…1!
"Strange, where did he go?" Leonard was still looking around, showing no sign of leaving.
Looking at Leonard, who was still there, Lorne sighed inwardly, then gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger.
"I gave you a chance."
He didn't expect or hope to kill the other party outright; he just wanted to injure them to give himself a chance to escape.
Unfortunately it backfired.
"Click"
The cylinder of the revolver turned once and then stopped responding.
This is a dud.
"Ah..." In that instant, Lorne's expression froze.
"What's that sound!" Leonard seemed to sense something and began to look around.
"No, we're going to be discovered."
Realizing something was wrong, Lorne didn't hesitate and pulled the trigger again.
"Click..."
Just like last time, no bullets were fired; it was another dud.
"this……"
While it's true that this gun has a chance of misfiring, the probability is too high; not a single bullet was fired out of two.
Sure enough, the extraordinary items you find are unreliable.
Lorne holstered his pistol, curled up, and pressed himself against the wall as much as possible to reduce his visible area.
He dared not fire again; if it misfired, the sound would definitely give him away.
With a total of six firing opportunities, two have already been duds, meaning the current probability of a misfire is at least one in three. He really doesn't dare to gamble anymore.
Moreover, the policeman was also carrying a handgun, and Lorne was not confident that he could win a shootout.
Police officers have definitely undergone specialized shooting training, while even with the "machine's" ability boost, I can only be considered a half-baked expert.
Moreover, he really wouldn't dare to hold a gun that might misfire at any moment and engage in a shootout with the police.
If Lorne had been holding a regular revolver, he might have been willing to fight, but this gun, which relies heavily on luck, was just too much...
Even if it's an extraordinary item with decent effects, what use is it if it can't fire bullets...?
A little while later.
"That's strange, there was definitely a sound."
"Old man, what do you think? Something about that voice just now seemed off," Leonard asked to himself.
……
Pales did not answer.
The alleyway fell into an eerie silence once more, with only the distant clamor from the main street echoing around.
"Sigh, he got away."
Leonard sighed, having found nothing, and left with his pistol.
Seeing the policeman leave, Lorne breathed a sigh of relief, but he still dared not relax, fearing that the man hadn't left and was just waiting for him.
……
"You're lucky."
"Or perhaps, he was just lucky."
After Leonard walked away, Palez's voice echoed in his mind.
"Old man, what do you mean?"
Palles didn't answer, leaving Leonard alone on the street, looking completely bewildered.
……
After lingering in the crack in the wall for a while, Lorne, seeing that there was really no movement, clung to the wall and slowly climbed down.
He moved very quietly, afraid of making any loud noise.
"Is nobody here?"
Although his spiritual intuition didn't react, he was still a little uneasy. He went to the front of the alley, stuck his head out and looked around. Only after confirming that there was no ambush did he breathe a sigh of relief and almost collapsed to his knees.
"What bad luck! I can't believe something like this happens just when I'm out buying groceries."
"No, now is not the time to complain. Who knows, that policeman might have gone back to get reinforcements."
Thinking of this possibility, Lorne didn't dare to rest and left quickly without looking back.
……
Inside the Red Chimney Room.
A quill pen is writing on its own.
Fate took another unexpected turn when Leonard Mitchell, a Night Watcher with his own secrets, followed clues to this neighborhood in order to investigate the secrets of his partner, Klein Moretti.
Surprisingly, around the same time, Lorne Dessenk, who was also a variable, returned to the neighborhood.
It took so much effort to arrange for him to leave, yet he returned so easily…
(A long string of signs of forced modification)
After a chase and a period of hiding, Leonard Mitchell failed to eliminate Lorne Disenke, a variable, and Lorne Disenke failed to eliminate Leonard Mitchell, the Night Watcher.
The plan to kill the two of them together completely failed.
……
"Why! Why isn't anyone dying?!" The hand holding the quill pen trembled slightly.
Unfortunately, due to the influence of his environment, his skin remained pale; otherwise, he would have certainly been able to put on a truly stunning performance.
……
"It should be safe now."
"Huff...huff...huff"
Lorne, panting heavily, returned to the nameless little hotel.
To avoid being followed, he went to other neighborhoods for a walk. With the machine's anti-divination properties, he didn't have to worry too much about being approached by the police again.
"Meow?" When Rachi saw her owner return, she got up from the bed, shook her fur, and slowly walked over to Lorne, rubbing against him.
"Rachel, do you know what happened to me today?" Lorne lowered his head and stroked Rachel, beginning to complain to himself.
……
"This is really bad luck."
"My luck seems to have really turned bad since you're not around."
"If you were here today, we would have a good chance of winning two against one, right?" Thinking of Laki's amazing performance that night, Lorne's heart was instantly filled with excitement.
"I'll take care of facing him head-on and drawing his attention, while you, Rachel, will take the opportunity to sneak up from behind and launch a surprise attack. As long as you can perform at the same level as last time, taking down that cop shouldn't be a problem." Lorne couldn't help but imagine all sorts of possibilities.
After a while, Lorne gradually calmed down.
"Well, this outcome isn't necessarily a bad thing."
"That person is a policeman. Whether we kill him or injure him, it will cause very troublesome consequences."
"The fact that it hasn't caused any direct conflict is actually quite good."
"but……"
Once safely on the ground, Lorne suddenly sensed something was amiss.
Why did I suddenly run into that policeman today?
"A coincidence? That's too much of a coincidence!"
"And then, inexplicably, I found myself back at the Azure Hotel..."
"Meow!" Rachi in Lorne's arms suddenly meowed, interrupting his train of thought.
Seeing its wide-eyed stare at him, Lorne suddenly realized something.
"Oh no, I forgot to buy food."
