Chapter 36 Melancholy Blues(1/2)
15:25.
Bugalati, Fog, Naranga, Apaki, and a group of four drove to the tourist town at the foot of Mount Vesuvius.
It is said to be a small town, but it is actually part of the Outer Expansion District of Naples.
This place is backed by Mount Vesuvius, which is still active, and has countless natural hot springs built using volcanic geothermal resources, and is also close to the ancient city of Pompeii, which has a history of two thousand years. Its tourism resources are unique.
You don't need to think about it and know that such places will never lack popularity.
But when Bugalati and others arrived at the scene, the place had become such a miserable scene:
The houses collapsed, the road surface was cracked, and damaged cars were crowded on the road in a row. The black smoke of embers rose up in the ruins, and the desolation was seen.
Tourists and passers-by had already escaped from the riots, with only a group of firefighters trying to clean up the mess, and a group of American soldiers searching for the ruins.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Apaki couldn't help asking.
His first mission after becoming a gangster, and the scene seemed much bigger than he thought.
"About half an hour ago, a Mikk's fighter crashed here."
"For some unknown reason, a serious riot occurred here."
"According to reports from the street gangsters outside our organization, the bald head with an eastern hole, which is the target of our mission, appeared at the scene of the riot almost twenty minutes ago with another blonde in a student uniform."
"Hey, hey, listen to this meaning"
Fuge became a little nervous: "Is this kind of big scene created by that bald man?"
He swallowed, looked at the devastated scene nearby and said:
"Is this what a stand-in messenger can do?"
"What kind of monster is this guy that the organization asked us to hunt down?"
“It’s possible.”
Bugalati nodded very cautiously:
"Everyone must be mentally prepared. The bald man must be very strong."
"After all, the price of the head price given to this guy by the organization is"
"The throne of the cadre!"
The top level of the password organization is the boss who is like an emperor, and the boss is equivalent to the staff department of the cabinet. The staff department is further down to the same as the chief officials of the border, and the local cadres in charge of a certain city.
These local cadres manage gang affairs in a city and maintain the underground order behind millions of people. Their power is self-evident.
Bugalati's dream is to become such a high-ranking cadre.
“Although it’s a bit nervous”
Nalanga, like Fuge, had cold sweat on his forehead, but forced himself to overcome this natural tension:
"As long as Bugalati gives you an order, no matter who the enemy is, I will follow you to the end."
“And, and, most importantly,"
This 15-year-old boy with a childish look on his face was now looking at Bugalati with a hopeful look:
"As long as we can kill that bald man, Bugalati's dream will come true, right?"
“Yes”
"But now it seems that the cadre throne and other things are second."
Bugalati looked at the ruins with an unfinished warmth and said with a gloomy face:
"This guy destroyed Naples like this and attacked innocent tourists and citizens. No matter how powerful he is, I, Bugalati, will not let him go back alive!"
This passionate manifesto was not a scene where the gangsters made up their benevolence and righteousness, but was completely from the sincerity.
Because Bugalatiben is a good person.
He assisted Boerbo in managing the local affairs of the Passion organization in Naples, and had done many bloody and violent things in gang fights.
However, this darkness and violence were never imposed by him on the ordinary citizens of Naples.
On the contrary, Bugalati has always used his authority as a small gang leader to do his best to maintain peace and order and help those in need.
The eyes of the masses are sharp, in the eyes of ordinary citizens who have repeatedly received favors
The Bugalati team is actually a public welfare team that combines various functions such as street offices, neighborhood committees, police stations, and Red Cross.
The reason why Bugalati is so eager for the throne of cadres is actually because he wants to have greater power in the organization to better maintain peace and peace in Naples.
"alright"
Bugalati took a deep breath and said to Apaki:
"Apaki, your 'melancholy blues' should be able to track the whereabouts of that bald man, right?"
Melancholy Blues is the name of Apaki's stand-in.
Its main ability is not fighting, but to repeat the target location "what happened in the past" like a reverse video.
Although this stand-in is not good at fighting, it has strong intelligence collection capabilities.
With this stand-in who can "see the past", all detective suspense works such as "Shelmes" and "Detective Polo" can be completed within three minutes of the opening.
“It should be no problem.”
"My melancholy blues can be "rewind" to a designated time point based on the "memory" of the location and "transformed" into a character that appears at that time and replay his actions at that time."
"As long as there are two elements of "time" and "place", nothing can escape its replay."
Apaki knew the main role of being invited here, so he explained without hesitation:
"This place was destroyed a bit hard and could have some impact on the replay of the melancholy blues."
"But that bald man could not destroy all the terrain he passed by. As long as he searches for free, he will definitely find his traces."
"That's OK."
Bugalati didn't have much trouble anymore: "Go to start!"
"kindness."
Apaki nodded his head and a blue humanoid substitute slowly appeared behind him.
This humanoid substitute named Melancholy Blues has nothing strange in appearance. The only thing that is eye-catching is the time counter on its forehead that shows "**:**:**".
"Melancholy Blues!"
Based on sighting information provided by the periphery, Apaki roughly found a location that was not damaged and began a search for traces of past targets:
"Put forward for 20 minutes!"
"Beebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebeebee
The melancholy blues buzzed a slight buzz, and the timer on his forehead quickly changed from "**:**:**" to "00:20:00".
Then, its appearance changed rapidly, as if it had used the transformation technique, from a blue humanoid substitute to a boy wearing a black student uniform with three blond vortexes piled on his head.
"Not this, change."
Under Apaki's order, the melancholy blues changed again.
This time, it became a bald head with an eastern hole.
The melancholy blues can only reveal the appearance and words of someone in the past place, and cannot restore the scenes and objects around him.
So, when the melancholy blues turned into this bald head, it was floating in a very strange riding posture in mid-air not far from the ground.
"Yes, it's this bald man!"
"He must be the Li Qing we are looking for."
"but"
Apaki took a closer look at the melancholy blues who turned into Li Qing's appearance: "He was riding a motorcycle at that time, right?"
"Don't worry about what he rides!"
Fuge urged impatiently:
"Hurry up and play it, what did that guy do twenty minutes ago?!"
"Yeah." Apaki responded slowly: "Start replay, melancholy blues!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the timer locked on the forehead of Melancholy Blues was suddenly jumped to "00:19:59".
Just like a video where the play button was suddenly turned on, it turned into Li Qing and started to have movements and sounds:
“Hey hey”
"Goruno, are you ready?"
The sounds and expressions made by Li Qing 20 minutes ago appeared in the present through the replay of melancholy blues.
Then there was the irritating roar of the motorcycle engine.
