Chapter 158 Turbulent New York (please vote for me)
The raging flames soared into the sky, devouring the wreckage on the wooden bed like an angry giant beast. The two once-living but fragmented bodies were under the ruthless tongue of fire. Vanished.
All around, the red-haired witch and other witches looked through the smoke, staring at the raging fire with complex emotions. Sadness, anger, or relief, all kinds of emotions were intertwined and difficult to describe.
Outside the courtyard gate separated by an iron fence, Lange was leaning on the car, biting a cigarette butt and watching the scene indifferently. He had to make sure that the supreme witch who was skilled in seven formations was burned to ashes before he could leave with peace of mind.
In the car, Emma and Wednesday didn't pay the slightest attention to the scene outside. They were whispering to each other. It was Emma who was talking. After hearing this, Wednesday just sneered as a response.
Lango didn't understand the way their little girls communicated. Judging from this scene, they didn't look like the good friends Emma said.
Teddy casually glanced at the two little figures who were chatting excitedly in the car, then turned to Lango and whispered to him: "Lango, seriously, have you ever felt for a moment that if Emma really Maybe dying in the battle of the Supreme Witch is a good ending?"
Hearing this, Lange's face changed slightly: "Do you know what you are talking about, brother?"
"Comeon (please)!" Teddy spread his hands, "We have lived together since childhood. Don't try to lie to me. When you knew Emma was dead, in addition to being angry, you clearly saw relief in your eyes. Meaning."
He paused and his tone became heavy: "Although you can blame all the mistakes she has made on the 'original sin of jealousy', she has killed several innocent people with her own hands, hasn't she?"
"."
Lango fell into silence. After a long time, he slowly shook his head: "I will take Emma to the graves of those victims, apologize in person, and give their families due compensation. I know this is a double standard, but she After all, it is my family, Teddy, trust me, I will guide Emma to the right path, let her take responsibility for her actions and truly atone for her sins.”
Teddy couldn't help curling his lips when he heard what he said. After patting Lango on the shoulder, he jumped off the roof of the car lightly and returned to the car.
Lango stayed alone, staring at the thick smoke billowing in the yard, as if he could see the intertwining of the past and the future.
After a long time, he stamped out the cigarette butt in his hand, opened the door, and got into the cab. With a passionate roar from McQueen, the sports car rushed out like an arrow and quickly disappeared from the sight of the Witch Academy.
In the academy, only the thick smoke that continued to rise silently recorded the departure of this group of people.
Although McQueen was speeding all the way, it was already dark by the time they got home. Lango noticed that the house of Mr. and Mrs. Smith opposite was still closed. The couple, who were agents of different organizations, could not stay at home for a month. a few days.
After getting out of the car, the sight in front of Emma made her stunned. The slightly outdated old villa in my memory has now been renovated and transformed into a luxurious villa full of modern flavor.
"Come on, kids, Gloria and Megan have prepared a sumptuous dinner and are waiting for us." Lango smiled and put his arm on Emma and Wednesday's shoulders.
Emma's face turned slightly cold after hearing Gloria's name, and dissatisfaction flashed across her face. Wednesday, who was on the side, caught this scene and couldn't help but curl up a sly smile, as if he was enjoying seeing her depressed look.
Lango opened the door and was greeted by darkness.
"Megan? Honey? We're back."
After he shouted, there was still no response. Just as he was about to reach out and turn on the light, the room suddenly became brighter, followed by two crisp cannons!
"Mom—"
Lango reacted quickly, guarding Emma and Wednesday tightly behind him, scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes, and the result
"Surprise!!!"
In the hall, neighbors and friends poured out from every corner, with joyful smiles on everyone's face and cheers one after another.
"I received a call from you saying that you were going to take Emma home, so I wanted to give everyone a surprise, so I organized this welcome party." Gloria walked up to Emma with a smile and gently brushed her head. With confetti on her face, she opened her arms and her eyes were full of sincerity and warmth, "Welcome home, Emma."
Seeing her uncle's girlfriend looking at her sincerely, Emma looked at the crowd around her, bit her lip, and finally broke out into a sweet smile, saying softly: "Thank you, aunt."
"Whoa whoa whoa!!!"
The hall once again erupted in cheers to celebrate this warm and special moment.
Lango looked around at the space decorated with colorful balloons and ribbons, with a helpless and warm smile on his lips. The entire hall was packed with people. The three modern families alone brought more than a dozen people with their families. In addition, there were Dom and his gang of speedster brothers, not to mention that group of people. Hundreds of noisy minions.
After the group of them came back, the party officially kicked off, and Lango's favorite rock music was played in the room. Guests walked through the room holding bright red party cups, and chatter and laughter broke out one after another.
There was constant laughter and laughter in the backyard swimming pool. Toothless and the minions were playing in the water, stirring up waves and attracting the children in the neighborhood to join in excitedly and enjoy this pure happiness.
Even the usually indifferent Wednesday rarely showed a curious side. She grabbed a minion and sat on the sofa to look at it carefully. There were many strange things in her castle, but creatures like minions She has truly never seen it before. Lango shuttled among the crowd and greeted every arriving friend warmly.
Especially this guy Dom, this bald guy not only has dragons and tigers tattooed on his body, but also brings friends except for his sister Mia, who is considered a chocolate sweetheart, and the rest of them look less serious than the others, which annoys the neighbors. They all took the initiative to stay away from them, and could only chat in the corner of the sofa alone.
"Hey, guys, what are you talking about?" Lange walked up to them and shook hands with them one by one, then pulled in a hug and patted each other's backs with their hands.
"Haven't you heard, Lango?" Dom lowered his voice and said with emotion: "There has been some unrest in New York recently. There was an accident at a hotel in Brooklyn last night. I heard that many people died, and the bodies piled up like mountains. The FBI was dispatched. , but in the end there was nothing more to say.”
Lango shrugged and smiled disapprovingly: "Sin City, ah, don't these kinds of bad things happen every day in New York?"
But Dom leaned closer and said in a deeper voice: "My little brother was nearby at the time. He said that thousands of strange monsters gathered outside the hotel that night. As a result, a blood-red light suddenly shot out of the hotel, instantly killing them. The monsters were cut into pieces, and the piranha at the door took the opportunity to eat a full meal. The remaining remains were taken away by the police. After that, an old man came out to negotiate, and finally a group of mysterious figures in black suits calmed down the storm. ”
"."
When Lango heard this, his eyes changed suddenly, and his surprise was palpable: "Are you sure? Thousands of monsters?"
"It's absolutely true." Dom replied categorically, "Almost all of those guys had animal heads, and many of them had tongues like the tentacles of horses. As a result, they couldn't even get in, so they all died. clean."
"Shet."
Lango cursed angrily. As the leader of the New York region of the supernatural resistance organization, thousands of dark creatures quietly appeared in his jurisdiction and he knew nothing about it. This was really unacceptable to him.
And what the hell is that hotel? It was too exaggerated to kill more than a thousand monsters in the blink of an eye.
When he was about to ask a few more questions, the curator not far away waved to him in the crowd with Princess Mary of Lilliput, whom he regarded as a treasure.
Lango patted Dom on the back, then turned and walked towards the curator. The two raised their glasses and smiled in unison.
"It's a good party. It hasn't been so lively for a long time since I returned to New York." The curator said with a smile.
Lange responded with an indifferent smile. After living in the United States for so many years, he had long understood the virtues of the party culture here. I don’t know about other places, but here in New York, a big part of the reason why people love to party is because they don’t dare to go out casually at night. Once it gets dark outside, it’s the world of gangsters, and you’ll be robbed if you take just a few steps. .
So instead of sitting outside playing skewers late at night and chatting, everyone prefers to stay at home and have fun.
After chatting for a while, the curator patted Lango on the shoulder earnestly: "Remember to come to the museum for a meeting tomorrow morning. The board of directors will initiate the final round of voting. If nothing else, the position of curator will be yours. , you'd better be there when the time comes."
"oh?"
Lango smiled in surprise, and then said modestly: "Speaking of which, curator, you are still so young. Isn't it a pity to retire?"
"Oh, forget it." The curator shook his head gently, his eyes falling gently on Princess Mary: "After I finish handing over some procedures to you, I will travel to Europe with Mary. Over the years, I have devoted myself to work and ignored There are so many beautiful things about life.”
".OK"
Late at night, everyone who attended the party had gone back, and only Megan and the Earthbound Spirit maid were left in the hall to clean up the scene.
After Lango arranged the bedroom for Emma and Wednesday to sleep, he yawned and returned to the living room. At this time, Gloria came forward and asked hesitantly: "Did you feel Emma looking at me?" Is there something wrong with his eyes?"
"Huh?" Lange asked strangely: "She can't do anything wrong to you, and you have no grudge against her."
"I don't know either." Gloria shook her head and said softly: "I can't tell. It's just that look that made me feel inexplicably nervous."
"Really?" Lange pondered for a moment, and then said with relief in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry too much. With me watching at home, she doesn't have the guts to do anything unqualified. Go take a shower quickly and wait for me after she's clean. ”
When Gloria heard this, a slight smile appeared on her lips. After patting his arm, she walked lightly up the stairs and walked into the bedroom upstairs.
After she left, Lange lit a cigarette and took a deep breath to calm down. Then, he slowly raised his right hand and stared at the system light visible only to himself and the summoned objects. In the light, daggers, Patterns of stones, ghosts and cats are looming.
Anyway, it didn't look good, and he didn't have anything in particular that he wanted to draw. As soon as he thought about it, he silently chanted a summons in his heart.
In an instant, a golden halo of light rose up and quickly circulated among the four patterns!
