Darkness is Coming

   was surrounded again, but Xu Le's heart did not fluctuate, and even wanted to drink whiskey.

   The shouts and the echoes were mixed together, and it was impossible to hear the direction, and it was impossible to count how many people flew in from the window, and the originally wide space suddenly seemed cramped and crowded. John Reese threw down the gun and glass in his hand very cooperatively, and knelt on the floor, letting the armed men behind him handcuff his hands.

  Harold Finch seemed a little panicked, but Xu Le could see that his panic was more or less acting, because Xu Le had seen many times when people were really panicked by accidental attacks when he was in the far river.

"Don't move." John shouted to Xu Le, Xu Le took out two pistols from the holster on his waist and left rib at a dizzying speed, and fired with almost no time to aim .

  After two shots were fired, the chandelier for indoor lighting fell towards the ground. In the not-so-spacious room, the light suddenly dimmed. If there were no searchlights from the helicopter hovering outside, the room would have been pitch black.

   At the same time, Xu Le leaned over and ran towards the window.

Since this dilapidated building has been surrounded, the stairs must be heavily guarded, the only way out is the window facing the street, even if an ordinary person with decent physical fitness jumps from this height, as long as he makes a qualified landing when he hits the ground. Rolling over would not hurt his legs, not to mention Xu Le, who was injected with a potion and wore a rune bracelet.

   Xu Le was not at all worried that he would be shot dead by random guns. He believed that as long as he moved fast enough, the special operations team that launched the raid would not even shoot.

   All the unreasonable details finally put together a small piece of the puzzle.

He rented a car as "Lewis" and left his driver's license information at the rental car shop, and then drove the rented van near the White House in an attempt to remotely assassinate a senior government official, but was notified in advance and targeted. Later, the intelligence agencies of the US federal government chose to stand still, and even arranged a fake Sean Conrad to attract them. Why?

  After the failed assassination, his escape from the scene was so smooth, why?

In the more than 20 hours after escaping, he spent more than ten hours in New York, which is less than a four-hour drive from Washington, D.C., and the US federal government did not issue any wanted after learning of his disguised identity, and he could not even see it. Any sign of tracing, why? Could it be that, as the most powerful country in the world, its intelligence department is so incompetent that it took more than ten hours to locate a fugitive whose anti-reconnaissance and anti-tracking capabilities are only half-baked? And after locating the target in a certain restaurant, the first reaction is to send a sniper to snipe? What a joke!

  After sniping in the restaurant, dozens of cars and two helicopters couldn't stop a high-end Mercedes-Benz? Why? Just a little superpower of the driver? Please, this is a world power. Whether it is the speed of grasping information or the ability to formulate targeted plans after grasping the information, it is the world's top, not to mention, this is their home field.

   But what was the failed interception at home, where they had all the resources at their disposal? Not to mention the hail of bullets, not even the police car, roadblock, or tire breaker.

Why?

   Xu Le figured out why the moment the door and window shattered, because since the "machine" sent Lewis' social security number out, he has been under the surveillance of the US federal intelligence agencies.

But what they want is not a stupid assassin trying to assassinate members of the president's cabinet with low-level means, even if this assassin caused a big wave on the Internet not long ago, even if this assassin has superpowers, compared to the legend of "machine", Xu Le is just a trivial little character, and they use the little character to catch big fish.

Harold Finch and John Reese's prophets rescued unharmed "victims", if only one or two, maybe the NYPD and intelligence didn't notice, but saved dozens, hundreds ? Even the dullest detective should figure out a rule when he gets reports of hundreds of bizarre incidents: Whenever someone is about to be killed in New York City, a superhero hiding in the dark side of the city will appear, with superb marksmanship. Fight against sin, and then go away, hiding merit and fame.

   Who can predict the future? The psychic, and the creator of the "machine", can rule out the former, considering that the first relevant event occurred earlier than the awakening. The latter is too smart and too skilled. If you want to find him, you have to premeditate a murder case that cannot be faked, and then quietly wait for his subordinates to appear to rescue the victim.

  Therefore, there will be a fake Sean Conrad in Raphael Square, and the US federal intelligence agencies will use this to confirm the appearance of Xu Le and John Reese and track them.

It turned out that they could only keep up with Xu Le, but lost John Reese, which was an expected result, if John didn't have top anti-tracking ability, Harold Finch (the creation of "The Machine") ) would not hire him, nor would he be able to get away after stopping a crime so many times.

   In order to make John Reese appear again, they continued to wait until Xu Le, who was alone, finally came to a slightly more lively place: Nandu Impression Restaurant. Twenty-one victim numbers and little time left can give John Reaser and Harold Finch, two "bringers of justice" enough excitement.

   Sure enough, John Reese arrived at Nandu Impression Restaurant.

   Sure enough, after the two bullets were ejected, Xu Le and John Reese just fled and had no time to think, while John Reese immediately returned to the base camp to report the situation after getting rid of the pursuit.

And Xu Le, who has super powers, can track John Reese at close range when he is not in good condition. The oriole hiding behind the praying mantis only needs to follow the slow-conscious mantis to be able to walk all the way across a long distance. trace to the final destination.

   After finally finding the legendary Harold Finch, the CIA's head of operations dared not take the slightest risk.

   "Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" The operations director yelled, stopping the urge to shoot and kill the prey, so as not to accidentally injure Harold Finch.

   As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Le approached the broken window and jumped to the street downstairs.

   But the moment he jumped out of the window and started to free fall, Xu Le realized that he had made another serious mistake.

On the street below   , there were two rows of silhouettes, with guns loaded with live ammunition, and the black muzzles of the guns were aimed at the windows on the second floor.

   Xu Le laughed miserably, no wonder those people inside didn't throw down their guns to stop me.
