Chapter 105 Choice
Adrian walked into a tavern wearing a dirty trench coat and a beret.
His eyes were now wide and had bags under them, his hair was greasy and tangled, and a hard stubble had grown on his chin.
Two days ago, he was a respectable and wealthy officer. Even though he was neglected and kicked to a sinecure, he could still maintain a superior life. But now he is like a rat that cannot be seen in the light.
He sat down at the bar counter, pulled down the brim of his hat, and ordered a cup of hot coffee and a sandwich.
While waiting for food, a message came into his communication device. He looked around to make sure no one was around, then took out the communication device and opened the email. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
That email was a fake email Howard sent to him that would not be monitored. After learning that his wife and daughter were safe, he felt much more relieved.
His coffee and sandwich arrived, and he nodded to the bartender, then a second message came into his communication device.
Adrian clicked on the new email again to check. Perhaps it was because he relaxed his vigilance instantly after knowing that his wife and daughter were safe, or perhaps it was because of the high tension and lack of sleep for several consecutive days. In short, when he was checking the new email, he did not notice that the bartender who had brought him coffee and sandwiches just now pulled out a pistol from behind.
"boom!"
Ten seconds later, in the tavern filled with screams, the bartender calmly bent down and picked up the blood-stained communication device.
Meanwhile, Howard and Arabelle were moving confidently through the upper levels of the hive.
With the help of Om Messiah, the surveillance cameras would not be able to detect them at all. Although Howard's photos in women's clothing were still being publicly executed on various big screens, Howard had now taken off the maid outfit.
And I don't know whether I should thank William for his indescribable perverted habit. When Howard worked with him, he asked Howard not only to be his maid, but also to put makeup on Howard every day. So after Howard took off his maid outfit, he not only washed off all the makeup, but also cut his hair that had grown long with great difficulty.
In short, no one who sees Howard now will associate him with the wanted criminal on the big screen.
Arabelle put on the maid outfit that Howard had taken off. She was only half a head taller than Howard, mainly because of her longer legs. Howard always wore his own clothes under the maid outfit, so the maid outfit he wore was a little bigger, which was just right for Arabelle. Then Howard helped her tidy up her hair.
In the past, Arabelle's hair was simply left with half bangs covering the mechanical eyes and the rest of the hair was tied back, but Howard gave her a new hairstyle this time, cutting the bangs shorter but changing from one side to a full bang, and the hair on the back was also changed from a ponytail to loose.
Originally, Arabelle wanted to cut her long hair like Howard did, but Howard persuaded her not to do so.
After this back and forth, when the two of them stood together, their image changed from "a dangerous transvestite murderer and his vicious accomplice" to "a young master out for fun and his personal silent fighting maid."
As for the skills of changing clothes and combing hair, these were brought by Howard from his original world. When he was a child, his playmates were all girls. While other boys were playing with balls and mud, he was pulled by a group of little girls to play house, and then he clicked on these two skills. Although he almost forgot that he had clicked on this skill later, it actually came in handy now.
Although Arabelle was still a little uncomfortable, she was much more relaxed than when she was William's maid before. At least it didn't affect her movements.
"How did Char respond?" Howard asked.
"He said give him an hour and he'll take back control of the space elevator," Arabelle replied, and then she did something that surprised Howard.
She lifted the skirt of her maid outfit, took a half step back with her right foot, and then stood on tiptoe with her knees slightly bent. She bowed slightly to Howard and said, "Are you satisfied with this answer, Master?"
Howard couldn't help laughing, and then Arabelle started laughing too.
Howard: "You can do this?"
Arabelle lowered her skirt and turned her face away. "Maids are everywhere in the Zeredia mansion. You'll learn the ropes if you see them often enough."
Then she added, "Just laugh for a bit, don't keep laughing... Damn it, why did I do that damn action just now?"
Howard planned to return to the Middle Nest via the space elevator. Now the space elevators in the Upper Nest and the Middle Nest have been out of service for a long time, but Om Messiah can forcibly activate an elevator shaft to send them down, but the prerequisite is that Char must regain control of that area.
Now they are near the space elevator. Since the middle nest and the upper nest have been cut off from each other, the upper nest is more dependent on products imported from other planets, so the area near the space elevator is busier.
Howard guessed that those who were wanted for them would never have thought that after being wanted, he and Arabelle not only did not hide, but even dared to appear in the core area of Kalimdor in broad daylight.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the Om Messiah in Howard's pocket vibrated violently, and Howard, who was still smiling, almost choked.
Arabelle thought Howard was laughing so hard that he choked, so she came over to check on him, but Howard knocked her down.
At the moment Howard threw her to the ground, a container flew over their heads and shattered not far behind them, sending the freeze-dried shrimp inside flying everywhere.
The two looked towards where the container was flying from and saw the familiar and dangerous white figure again.
Howard's heart sank. Based on the fake email he sent to Adrian, the space elevator should have been the first place they were eliminated. They shouldn't have been able to get here so quickly.
Now he didn't know whether Om Messiah's email was intercepted, or there was a problem on Adrien's side, or some other reason, but no matter which one it was, it was not what Howard wanted to see.
Noticing Howard had dodged the container's attack, the man in the white robe tilted his head slightly, as if in doubt. Then he pointed at a nearby steamroller. The massive roller weighed hundreds of tons, but when the man in the white robe pointed, the massive steel machine trembled and rose from the ground, rising into the air.
It seems he's learned his lesson and knows that guns and psychic powers are ineffective against Howard, so this time he uses a more primitive method - throwing stones - to eliminate Howard and Arabelle.
Then the man in white robe threw the steamroller towards the two men. It can be seen that even it was very difficult for him to control such a heavy object, so the man in white robe ran out of strength halfway through throwing it. The steamroller fell to the ground and then rolled towards the two men like a huge bowling ball.
Hastily!
Because the attack came too fast, although Howard's brain reacted, his speed was not enough for him to run away and be crushed.
In a split second he made a decision, and he gave Arabelle a hard shove.
At least let Arabelle live.
Come! Let me see whether your psychic power is stronger or Slaanesh's psychic power is stronger.
Howard roared in his heart, I'm giving your mother a hard time. Do you think you're the only one who has the ability to flip the table?
But when Howard reached out to push Arabelle, Arabelle grabbed Howard's wrist with her backhand and threw Howard out like a sandbag.
Arabelle didn't know what Howard was thinking. She only knew that in the current situation, only one of her and Howard could survive. When Howard made his choice, she also made her choice.
Time was short, not even enough to say goodbye.
