Chereads / The Madhouse of All Worlds / Chapter 7 - Banks

Chapter 7 - Banks

November 4 - Clear.

The traffic was moving as usual, and the back seat of the taxi seemed to reek of overnight vomit.

Ziliang should have said that he didn't like the city ... In fact he'd said it no less than 40 times in the last few months. The ever foggy night sky, the strange cold gothic architecture, even if the dazzling neon can not hide the darkness under the pomp and circumstance, Gotham's daytime, people are like the walking dead, trying to maintain the city's superficial beauty, and at night, everyone is like a werewolf waiting for the full moon, have to reveal their fangs.

Zira has stayed in many places, whether it was Stalingrad, which was rebuilt and picked up during World War II, or Nara City during the Meiji Restoration, in short, none of them would be as contradictory as this place. It is poor and opulent, and sinful and glittering. Desperate, cheerful, twisted, broken, it feels like if a tour group came from somewhere else, it might be enough to hiccup on two breaths of the air here.

So Ziliang once again told himself that he had to hurry up and finish his work, and then change to another place, or his insomnia might have to be aggravated again.

...

Two hours later, the taxi finally stopped in front of the main gate of 71st Street in the metropolitan area.

Zi Liang paid the money and pushed open the door.

In front of him was the largest bank on the block, but it wasn't very big, it must have been only about 300 square meters, and only one floor.

It was just right.

So he was satisfied and walked in. At this moment, he was still wearing the crumpled white coat.

Only, there was an extra leather case in his hand.

The inside of the bank was a little smaller than it looked from the outside. With a quick glance, Ziliang could get a general idea. --7 counter windows, 6 staff, 22 people in line, and 3 guards, all wearing pistols.

"Happy Halloween." He rushed over to one of the guards and said to the guard with a big smile.

"Haha, it's been three days since Halloween." The guard said with a smile, then brushed past Ziara.

But the next second.

He felt a gun against the back of his head, and what followed was a lazy, "Don't move!"

...

...

"What?" The guard simply froze in place for two seconds before his whole body jolted like a sudden awakening.

"Robbery!" These two words exploded in his head as an afterthought.

In fact, this is not to blame him, because this transformation is really too fast, came too suddenly, like a diarrhea in his sleep, did not give him a little preparation time.

Of course, when so many years of security, professionalism or have, which makes him very strong did not immediately raise his hand ...

Because he just saw this guy who brushed against him, and could see that it was a doctor, and that face should not be a person who often does evil, so at this moment, he was wondering if he had a chance to subdue the other side.

However, in this less than half a second.

The gun seemed to have suddenly left his head, followed by a "bang!" over his head. The sound of a gunshot ...

Everyone looked over in shock, people immediately realized what had happened, then, all the women were incomparable with the atmosphere, holding their heads in place and squatting down, followed by a burst of ear-splitting screams.

Chaos erupted at that very moment.

People were aware that they were experiencing a bank robbery.

...

But in the midst of this panic, there were one or two people who seemed to notice a very inexplicable image, they narrowed their eyes and looked carefully at the criminal who was holding up the security guard, who seemed to be holding ... not a robbery, but ... a lighter?

What's the deal with this?

But although someone noticed, but it was already too late, because the guard could not see, he just felt the back of his head was a cold hard thing topped, this situation, even if you can think that someone will use a lighter on the back of their head, but who dares to really use their own head to try. In a million steps, even if there is really the courage to die in the line of duty for the sake of work, it is also sure to be just a gunshot close at hand scared.

In fact, the sound of the gunshot, if you listen in the quiet, should be able to distinguish, and the real gunshot is a little different, but because this is too sudden, too timely to the scene. So the guard was almost out of his mind and immediately raised his hands.

And in this instant, the gun at his waist has been pulled out by the people behind him.

...

At this time, about two to three seconds after the "Happy Halloween", the other two guards have also pulled out their guns.

"Don't move!"

"Drop your guns!"

They aimed at Ziliang's position, but of course, Ziliang had a companion in front of him. Even the most professional security guards could not react as quickly as a marksman in these few seconds and pull out their guns, while crossing their companion's body to shoot the robber in the head.

This also led them to shout something stupid like "drop the gun", as if they were chasing again, the people behind them always like to spend their energy shouting "stop" as well.

Zi Liang gave a boring "tsk", as if he was disgusted with the useless behavior of the two bodyguards, and then opened the safety of the gun, without saying a word, directly at a security guard "bang! Bang! Bang!" The gun was fired several times.

Fortunately, these shots are all aimed at the lower three roads, otherwise, this brother is estimated to be the whole Gotham City bank robberies this year, the death of the sharpest guards, he did not even hear the voice of the robbers ...

But honestly, from these few shots, in fact, you can see that Ziliang's marksmanship is not good, even fired several shots, but only one shot hit the guard's calf.

Of course, there is only one place on the human body that does not hurt after being hit by a bullet, and that is the head, so the man screamed and fell directly to the ground, covering his leg in pain, and the gun in his hand slipped out of the distance.

At the same time, the entire crowd in this instant once again erupted in a more frantic scream, the crowd boiled like looking around for a place to hide. Some people were so frightened that they held their heads in place, while shouting and looking for something all over the ground, Zi Liang thought, they were probably looking for a hole they could get into.

And as for the other gun-wielding security guard ... he was a little trained anyhow, so he desperately tried to suppress his inner panic and quickly hid behind a piece of the service counter.

This is a robbery, no more than obvious, except how he could not figure out ... which has so robbed the bank, big and square, even a stocking is not set.

And the general robbery of the bank at least three people, a guard in the car lookout, a loaded money, and a hostage with a gun threat, and a person alone to rob the bank, the chances of success is simply zero, besides, the most important thing to rob the bank is not to kill, quick, but this person came up to shoot indiscriminately, which is not directly forced on their own way.

Just when he was hiding behind the service desk to think about these times.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

There was another series of gunshots. I don't know what was being shot, but the screams that were already rising and falling were once again raised a K degree. The crowd had all crowded to the very edge of the wall, as if they could be a little farther away from the robber, they would be safer.

At this moment, about 10 seconds had passed since Ziliang walked into the bank, and in this chaos, I don't know which brave employee had pressed the alarm bell, at once, the entire bank alarm bells, shouts, cries, screams, sounded into a blaze.
