?
After hearing Ivan's words, William turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Ivan?"
Ivan raised his hand and pointed to the group of monks at the front of the corridor and the mysterious girl and said, "Father, don't you think they are strange?"
Hearing this, William looked in the direction of Ivan's finger, and frowned slightly when he saw the group of people.
To say something strange...
A bit indeed.
After all, it's already 2015, but he's wearing a monastery robe and surrounded by a red-haired girl.
William had been chatting with Yelena and Halsey just now, so he didn't notice that there was a group of 'others'.
Then he spread his arms, hugged Halsey and Yelena who were still playing around him, and said in a deep voice to Ivan:
"Ivan, let's get out of here first."
"Yes." Ivan nodded and followed William towards the exit on the left.
"Dad, what's wrong? We still have a lot of places to visit." Yelena asked in confusion.
However, Halsey, who knew William best, immediately guessed that he had encountered some kind of situation after seeing William's solemn expression.
William, on the other hand, perfunctoryly said to his daughter, "Um... Dad is hungry, let's go eat first and then have some fun tomorrow."
"That's it..." Yelena also noticed something was wrong, and replied obediently, "Okay then."
"Good daughter." William patted Yelena on the head.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the headphones from his pocket, put them on and immediately said, "Cortana, notify all the staff of the Phantom to anti-ship.
Also, notify me of the agents stationed at Venice and ask them to come to St. Mark's Basilica immediately."
Cortana immediately replied, "Yes, boss, I have notified all crew members and agents."
"Yes." William also responded lightly and continued to lead his family out of the church.
And Ivan, who was following his family, felt his heart palpitations getting stronger and stronger, and then...
"Boom-! Boom-!"
Then, low-intensity directional explosions were heard from the top of the church and around it.
"Crack-! Bang-!"
"Ah!! Help!"
"What's going on? What's going on!"
"Run! Run quickly!"
Debris and thick smoke caused by the explosion, mixed with the horrified roars of passengers, filled the entire lobby.
"Grass!"
Seeing this, William, who was well-behaved, still couldn't help but utter words that could relieve stress.
The reason why he was extremely angry was because the Venice agents didn't know what they were doing, and they actually allowed such unknown armed elements to launch an attack.
The reason for the update is that he wanted to relax with his family!
We encountered a similar situation last time.
It was after he thoroughly confirmed his relationship with Halsey that he watched the premiere of "Starship Troopers 2" and was attacked by Elizabeth Green's virus.
What now?
There was also a terrorist attack on a church.
"Made."
Thinking of this, William cursed again and spread his arms, directly picking up Yelena and Halsey beside him.
He turned his head and reminded Ivan behind him loudly, "Ivan! Get ready to leave here!"
"Yes!"
[The host's stunt is detected, 'Super Speed' takes effect.]
With the system's reminder in the ear, the commotion nearby suddenly stopped and everything became quiet.
Like the militants who rappelled from the top of the church, they just kept their original posture and remained motionless. The faces of the tourists around them were also all kinds of strange.
But William, with the two girls sandwiched between him, walked through the passengers like living sculptures and quickly ran out of the church.
When they came to the square, they were all running towards the church with their backs turned.
Seeing this scene, William did not stop, but chose to continue running quickly to the west.
When we arrived at the Holy Cross District port two kilometers away, we stopped and released the 'Super Speed' status.
"Dad!"
As soon as he returned to normal, Yelena, who looked frightened, hugged William tightly and choked with sobs. "What's going on... Dad...
I saw someone covered... covered in blood..."
Seeing that her daughter was so frightened, William wanted to kill those militants alive.
But he still showed a gentle face, let go of Halsey, patted Yelena's back and comforted him:
"Okay, be good, it's okay, those people are just injured."
"Well..." Hearing her father's comfort, Yelena hugged her tighter and buried her head on William's chest.
Then, in the night sky that had completely darkened, a large number of 'shooting stars' flashed and headed in the direction of Venice.
It seems that a certain Containment Carrier in low-Earth orbit responded to the attack immediately and airborne a large number of Helljumpers.
At this moment, the system reminded William again:
[Ivan·Russell's stunts are detected, 'Super Speed' and 'Juli' take effect.]
'Juli??' William was stunned.
William knows that Ivan has all his own special skills, but activating 'giant power' often means fighting.
He quickly turned around and found only Halsey with a worried look on his face.
Halsey also discovered that her son was not here, and grabbed William's clothes and hurriedly asked, "William! Where is Ivan? Where has he gone?!"
During the terrorist attack on the church.
Ivan has been following William, and is also preparing to run out of the church with all his strength (activating stunts).
However, he found that the group of well-equipped militants shot in the direction of Golden Altar the moment they entered the church.
"Papa!!"
"Da da!!"
Gunfire of various calibers erupted one after another.
"Puff!" At the same time, there was the muffled sound of bullets tearing apart human bodies.
"Um..."
"Help..."
"Jesus..."
Passengers who stood in the range of the militants were shot at indiscriminately, and the church began to be filled with people's groans of pain.
As for the monks who were being cared for by the militants, most of them were directly killed or injured by the sudden attack, and the few remaining ones were also shot to death.
Within a few seconds, only the girl was left.
The girl's beautiful face showed extreme fear. She raised the palm of her left hand and pointed it at the nearest militant, stammering some curse in her mouth.
Seems like he wants to fight back?
But obviously...
The group of well-trained armed men completely ignored the little girl's actions and used Mechanical Skeleton to run towards her.
Ivan, who was secretly observing from the edge, immediately determined that this little girl was probably an anomaly.
If this girl had no special features, how could she possibly provoke this group of elite armed men, who would not hesitate to massacre her but also kidnap her.
Ivan also knows about Umbrella's quick reaction force, which Helljumpers can parachute into the square outside within minutes.
But within a few minutes, the group of armed men was enough to kidnap the girl.
After all, they were able to evade the investigation of the agents. This group of militants is not a good person at all.
Weigh the pros and cons.
Ivan rushed towards the nearest militant at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
