Chapter 5 Ubiquitous Death!

The phone book was a very thick volume, listing most people's names in alphabetical order, along with their home addresses, brief work units, and personal profiles. Almost every public phone booth was equipped with one, but it was around nine o'clock in the evening, the most bustling time for nightlife in Los Angeles, and the phone booths everywhere were crowded, with people even having to queue.

Fang Senyan's purpose, of course, was not to make a phone call, but to look up Sarah Connor's specific address in the phone book in the phone booth. Although the main quest seemed unrelated to this protagonist at the moment, in reality, Sarah Connor was still the most important figure in the entire Terminator world, without exception. Finding her early and gaining her trust would undoubtedly give him a huge advantage.

He found a phone booth with fewer people waiting and patiently waited. In fact, with Fang Senyan's current strength, he could simply rob someone for money, force someone to lead the way after a beating, or just grab the phone book by pulling someone out. Why bother with such trouble?

The reason why Fang Senyan was so law-abiding in everything was partly because his personal cultivation and morals were not those of a reckless person, but that was not the main point. The most crucial thing was that Fang Senyan always had a faint premonition that doing things that disrupted social order would bring some very bad derivative consequences, even death. This should be the advantage of high perception.

Seeing that there were still three people ahead in the queue, Fang Senyan found a small supermarket and went inside. He bought a pack of cigarettes and leaned against the wall, exhaling smoke. He casually tossed fifty dollars to the fat, stout woman at the counter, telling her to keep the change. The woman naturally smiled so hard that the fat on her face trembled into flowers. She was practically eager to please Fang Senyan, this sturdy man, and it looked like there was a seventy or eighty percent chance of developing a one-night stand. Just as Fang Senyan was about to go out and continue queuing for the phone booth, he was suddenly attracted by the sound of the television next to him:

"According to the Los Angeles Police Department, there is new progress in the Brood Street robbery case. The suspect, named Proll, brazenly robbed a supermarket at 5:07 PM today, killing six civilians and stealing the day's takings. Three police officers who arrived later were also attacked, and two officers died on the spot. According to crime expert Smith, the suspect should have received rigorous close-quarters combat training, and his jumping ability, running ability, and counter-tracking ability are far beyond ordinary people. Currently, the police have dispatched a large number of officers to block him at Seventeenth Avenue. Our reporter will immediately send you a live report from the scene."

Fang Senyan immediately frowned. He should have entered this world around 5:00 PM, and this guy named Proll committed the crime at 5:07 PM, which was consistent in time... At this time, the television had already started broadcasting live footage. Several police cars with flashing lights were parked haphazardly on the street. Twenty or thirty police officers had drawn their guns and were hiding behind cover, and someone was shouting, ordering the suspect to come out and surrender.

Suddenly, a high-speed car rushed out! The screeching sound of the tires almost made people want to plug their ears. The police fired without hesitation, sparks flying everywhere, and even the hood of the car was emitting thick white smoke. But at this moment, a figure with unparalleled agility opened the car door and pounced out. His movements in the air were as nimble as a fish swimming in water. After landing, he rolled and lunged into the crowd of police officers!

Instantly, the group of American police officers panicked. They were afraid of hurting their colleagues if they fired, so they were naturally hesitant. But the black shadow was unscrupulous. One second he was still crouching and sprinting, and the next second he had heavily slammed into a police officer. The force of the impact alone sent the poor fellow flying five or six meters. A shrill scream rang out, and the police officer flew up and smashed the windshield of the police car behind him to pieces. Of course, he didn't know how many bones he had broken.

Fang Senyan took a deep breath. Of course, he could see that the speed of this figure was far above his own. According to his visual estimation, it was at least two to three times the speed of an ordinary person running at full strength. In other words, if this guy was a Contractor, his Agility stat must be above fifteen! And if this guy's talent ability had a bonus to speed, then his movement speed would probably be even faster!

The black shadow shuttled between the police cars, as if merging into a snake in the darkness: spicy, swift, and venomous. With a twist and a wrap, the police officers fell silently, leaving only twitching, muffled groans, blood, strangeness, and of course, astonishment! This was almost a complete massacre!

But at this moment, a police car marked with dark green "police" drove at high speed from a distance. This police car was quite large, and should be a large RV similar to an ambulance or fire truck. The top lights on this police car were flashing, but it didn't sound the siren. Although it was still thousands of meters away, its swift and drifting style of cornering gave people a strange illusion.

And as soon as Fang Senyan saw this police car, a rather dangerous feeling immediately arose in his heart. He involuntarily took half a step back and clenched his fists. The deterrent force on the television screen was already so strong. What would it be like to face it directly on the scene?! However, this deterrent force should only be felt by those with high perception. The black shadow on the television screen hesitated for a moment, seemingly uncertain, from which it could be inferred that his perception was not high and he probably didn't have Fang Senyan's strong feeling.

But in the instant that he was stunned, the glass on one side of the police RV suddenly shattered! Amidst the flying glass shards, three dark gun barrels silently extended, and you could vaguely see the black-gloved hands holding the guns - hands as steady as a rock! Then, a foot or more of dazzling muzzle flash spewed out from the gun barrels! While the broken glass from the car window was still shattering and falling in the air, the black shadow in the distance had been shot and thrown high into the air. First, he was shot in the chest, then in the forehead, and then in the lower body. Three dazzling flowers of blood splattered from his chest. He was shot and changed direction three times in the air, flying seven or eight meters before falling to the ground with a "thud." He rolled over a few times, face down, and twitched a few times before stopping moving.

Under the glare of the dazzling spotlights, the blood under this guy slowly flowed out, forming a pool of dark red, which then flowed into the sewer. He only twitched instinctively occasionally, obviously dead beyond dead.

At the same time, a notification from the Nightmare Imprint appeared in Fang Senyan's ears:

"Based on your Perception, you will receive the following information."

"Contractor No. 1844 has been shot by the Delta Force Special Anti-Terrorism Unit!"

"Contractor No. 1844 has died."

"Because you indirectly witnessed (through television) the death of Contractor No. 1844, specific combat information cannot be provided."

Fang Senyan took a deep breath. At this moment, he felt a cold sweat all over his back! At the moment when the Delta Force Special Anti-Terrorism Unit fired, he even had a suffocating feeling that his neck was being strangled! Obviously, with his current strength, it would be difficult to resist them. And he also realized one point at this time, that is, the previous hint: accumulating more than one hundred innocent civilians killed in the Terminator series world can earn a milestone called "Butcher." This hint seems to have no difficulty, but it contains huge dangers!

From this unlucky No. 1884, it can be seen that in this world, Contractors are also subject to considerable restrictions. Even if they have abilities far beyond ordinary people, they cannot wantonly destroy the social environment. This previous Contractor was a typical example: he robbed and killed people, so naturally the police would target him, but with his ghostly skills, it would not be difficult to escape the police's pursuit. But this guy insisted on confronting them head-on and killing all the police officers, which resulted in attracting the terrifying Delta Force Special Anti-Terrorism Unit.

In other words, as long as the Contractor's damage to the rules of the entire society is controlled to a certain extent, then at most it will attract the siege and interception of ordinary police. Ordinary police are the bottom line of this world. As long as you don't wantonly trample and cross this bottom line, you won't attract the terrible Delta Force Special Anti-Terrorism Unit. And above the Delta Force Special Anti-Terrorism Unit, there may be even stronger defense forces.......

At this time, the television had already started a series of clean-up work, removing corpses, wiping away blood stains, and cleaning up the battlefield. Then, news commentators and special guests came out to analyze the criminal who was killed, associating his agile skills with special forces, drug overdose, vendetta, love killing, schizophrenia, paranoia, and other things. The public seemed to quickly accept this statement.

Fang Senyan took a deep drag on his cigarette, closed his eyes slightly, and let the spicy smoke fully circulate in his lungs before exhaling it. It seemed that this could relieve the pressure in his heart. He thought carefully for a while and realized that there was no one at the phone booth outside, so he went in and started looking up the name "Sarah Connor" in the phone book.

According to the plot of the movie, because various materials were lost extremely severely after the nuclear war in the future, the Terminator could not know all kinds of information about Sarah Connor to be assassinated, including her address, so he also used the phone book to find Sarah Connor's whereabouts. Fortunately, the heroine Sarah Connor was ranked third in the phone book (similar to people with the same name in China), so the Terminator killed No. 1 Sarah Anna Connor and No. 2 Sarah Louise Connor before starting to look for the real Sarah Connor No. 3, which undoubtedly gave her a great warning and time to escape.
