It is impossible for Mike and there is no need to consider Ruben's mood. The reason for showing mercy is just because his temporary threat level is not high and his ability has aroused Mike's interest.

Soul transfer?

Mike put away the knife. "Go back to your own body."

Ruben is considering whether to take the opportunity to sneak attack Mike or take back the main body.

Think about it... forget it.

He had a hunch that no matter which one he chose, he would be dead. He had better do as Mike said... It felt so frustrating.

The light of wisdom in the polar bear's eyes gradually dissipated, and he returned to confusion, or should I say more confusion--

"Why is Ben Bear here?"

"Hey, two lumps of food!"

"Well, I just ate, I'm so full, I can't eat anymore... It's so hot here, I'd better go back."

The polar bear opened its mouth, grunted, scratched its chest with its paws, then twisted its fat butt and butt, and walked slowly toward the polar circle. Mike opened its mouth and almost shouted, "Uncle, please walk slowly."

Ruben woke up faintly and wiped his neck immediately. His hands were covered with blood, but the wound was not deep.

"Dizziness, I'm anemic..." Ruben looked shaky.

"Oh, it's okay." Mike said seriously, "I have a secret recipe here, which is called fighting poison with poison. Since you are anemic, just bleed more and you will be cured."

I'm not sure whether I'm cured or not Ruben, but I'm definitely dead. Is it really okay to talk nonsense with such a serious face?

"Are you still anemic?" Mike looked concerned and put his hand on the knife handle, ready to help with "treatment" at any time.

"No, no, I think it may be that I have been lying down for too long, which has caused poor blood flow. It will be fine in a while, and it will be fine in a while..."

Anemia is nothing in the face of a small life, Ruben waved his hands repeatedly.

"For 30 million US dollar?" The reason for asking this is that Mike feels that Ruben should not be short of money. He may not have a deposit of 30 million US dollar, but his cash machines are everywhere in New York.

Ruben said, "They said that the person who completes this list will be the number one killer of the Continental Hotel. The number one killer of the Continental Hotel before was the legendary killing god John. Wick."

Oh, not for profit, but for fame. Most behaviors cannot escape this framework.

Mike said, "You are lucky, most of the people who attacked me are dead. The reason why you are alive is very simple, you are useful!"

Ruben subconsciously raised his anus and swallowed.

Mike continued, "In three days, report to this address. There will be a job for you."

Ruben:"Stark Tower!"

The address given by Mike is Stark Tower, "Do you know?"

"Yeah. I applied for a job at Stark Group and was eliminated."

"What's the reason?"

"Too ugly."

"What position are you applying for?"

"The secretary of the president's personal assistant, I am a fan of Miss Potts."

Let's have a bastard meal...

Glancing at Ruben's textbook fat figure and greasy appearance, Mike sighed and said with sincerity, "You know how to value yourself, don't bring shame on yourself."

"What job?" Ruben asked. Stark Group is the dream workplace of many graduates, and he was once one of them.

"Being studied." Mike said seriously.

Ruben: oo, I feel very bad.

"Can you refuse?" Ruben asked cautiously.

"Okay."

Clang!

Mike draws the knife.

Ruben said anxiously, "Let me ask, it is an honor for me to be studied. How can I refuse? It is absolutely impossible!"

Mike: "If you dare to escape, you will have to hide like a mouse for the rest of your life. The last person I missed so much was named Bullseye."

Ruben could only laugh dryly, he really had the intention of running away. Remembering that Mike was willing to offend the Continental Hotel in order to hunt down Bullseye, he didn't think Mike was bluffing.

"It's really fascinating." Ruben regretted it. If he was asked to kill Bullseye, the best way would be for Possession to be a mouse, carry an explosive pack on his back, sneak into Bullseye's room through the vent, and then "bang!", Bullseye died, and he had a headache for several days.

If Bullseye is prepared, Ruben has a very small chance of success. It is said that the person in front of him just died Bullseye.

"Silly, I'm really stupid." At this moment, Ruben transformed into Mrs. Xianglin.

Suddenly, Ruben sniffed, "Someone is coming!"

"Really!" As if he was afraid that Mike wouldn't believe it, Ruben pointed at his nose and said, "After Possession is released, Possession's animal abilities sometimes still last for several hours. Hehehehe... so I raised a few sables."

Mike:"???"

How to get involved with sable?

Ruben: "Sable can do it non-stop for eight hours."

Mike: "This ability... is pretty good."

Ruben said, "Polar bears have the same vision and ability as humans, but their sense of smell is very sensitive, seven times that of dogs. I smell the smell of strangers approaching..."

"Huh?" Observation Haki also sensed that there were one, two... six heavily armed gunmen. Mike said, "Stay here and don't run around. It's such a good research material. It's a pity to die..."

Mike stood up, drew his knife, and walked out with an angry look on his face.

Soon, Ruben heard continuous and intensive gunshots.

Then the gunfire gradually became sparse.

Until everything calms down.

Two minutes later, Mike walked in with the knife in the sheath and a calm look on his face. If it weren't for his keen sense of smell that smelled the strong smell of blood, Ruben would have even thought that Mike had just left and just went to the bathroom.

The strong contrast between vision and smell was like a hand tightly grabbing Ruben's heart. He suddenly returned to the topic and said, "I won't run away, I really won't."

"I believe you." Mike saw that Ruben was in fear. Although he didn't know why, since he took the initiative to propose it, his credibility must be very high. At this time, he should give trust and encouragement, and give him a slap in the face.

After eating the dates given by Mike, Ruben seemed very excited.

"Could it be Stockholm Syndrome?" Mike guessed.

The human spiritual world is so magical.

"Huh~" Walking out of the zoo, Ruben smelled a stronger smell of blood. There were three corpses of gunmen in front of his eyes, and three more were in more hidden places. But "hidden" means that their death skills are more hidden, which is useless.

As a killer, Ruben is not afraid of blood. He has controlled a fierce dog to bite out a person's throat several times, and controlled an elephant to trample a person into a pulp. After experiencing such blood, why does he have such a fear of Mike?

Ruben I can't figure it out, I don't want to think about it. When I think about it, fear wraps around me like a poisonous snake.

If he had to give an explanation, Ruben felt that perhaps it was often Possession that in animals, the animal's instinct was stronger, and this instinct that had accumulated over countless years told him through neurotransmission and secretion of hormones: this was a higher level in the biological pyramid.

Ruben sniffed and planned a way to leave, avoiding the smell of people and the smell of gunpowder.

After leaving the zoo, Mike walked and came to a rather retro open-air building.

Mike saw the fan-shaped staircase seats and the "Delacorte Theater" logo.

"It turns out that this is the theater where Shakespeare plays are played in the summer...Shakespeare on Midsummer Night... just thinking about it makes me... sleepy..." Mike, a man who has sacrificed all his artistic cells, wouldn't it be nice to cheat his teammates for two games? He has to find a place to sleep where there are many people?
