Chapter 25 Visiting Kobe Bryant
The bodyguard next to him originally wanted to stop him, but after seeing Xie Del's appearance, he was subconsciously shocked and couldn't help but stop.
Of course, no matter how deep the feelings of others are, they are not as reliable as Booker's personal experience. When he was touched by Shedel's fingertips, he actually felt a little colder feeling on his face, and then the feeling disappeared.
It spread rapidly, spreading directly along the nerves to the depths of the brain, even to the soul that was torn to pieces by the pain.
"..." Booker let out an indescribable sigh of relief from deep in his throat.
This kind of happiness has nothing to do with things between men and women, and is more similar to a traveler who has been thirsty all day in the desert drinking ice water, or a person who has been tired all day and soaks in a hot spring.
That kind of comfort that comes from the soul suddenly made Booker, who was suffering from weakness and pain, feel relieved. His tears couldn't help but flow down! His hands instinctively reached up, trying to grasp Shedel's palm.
, let this wonderful state last forever.
But Xie Del didn't want to waste more of the power of the artifact, so she smiled slightly and skillfully withdrew her hand.
At this time, Booker suddenly felt lost. He took half a step forward and wanted to hold out his hand to retain her, but Simpson was already standing in front of him with an ugly face: "Sorry, Booker, this is a lady, you are rude!!"
Booker pursed his lips a few times, looked at Shedel with some reluctance and said, "Who are you?"
Xie Del smiled slightly and said:
"I was sent by the person who heard the call in your heart, but now it seems that you are not pious enough. Goodbye." After saying that, Shedel turned and left.
Booker was shocked and hurriedly came forward and begged:
"I'm sorry, madam, the previous offense was really not what I meant to say, it was the spontaneous action of my body. Your charm is really amazing, I can't help it!"
Xie Del suddenly turned around, looked at him and said:
"Then, what do you want to keep me for?" Booker was stunned, and then immediately said:
"I sincerely invite you to stay and participate in my midsummer PARTY. This will be an extremely weight-reducing carnival." The old housekeeper who hurried over after hearing the news heard these words as soon as he arrived, and immediately made a serious face.
road:
"Sorry Mr. Booker, for your health, there won't be any party, not even alcohol, and women won't have it." Shedel smiled slightly:
"Mr. Booker, do you think I'm someone who would like the party you mentioned?"
Then Shedel walked away slowly, and Booker was stunned for a moment. Shedel gave him a feeling as tolerant as the spring breeze, and as cold and pure as the water on the snowy mountain. For this playboy, he suddenly felt that she was separated from the chaos.
When the depraved PARTY is put together, there will be a strong sense of dissonance.
Booker looked at Shedel who was walking away, and suddenly chased after her, breathing heavily:
"You...how can you stay? I won't do anything to you. I just want to look at you like this. Then I will be very satisfied. I will give you money. I have a lot of money."
, can I give it all to you!!"
This time, Simpson sneered and said:
"Idiot, do you think Priest Shedel is here for your money? Please don't use money to blaspheme her!!" Shedel suddenly said to Booker:
"I came here because my Lord sympathizes with your pain and sympathizes with your experience. However, you are still not humble enough, let alone pious enough." After finishing speaking, Shedel sighed slightly.
I don’t know why, when she sighed, the hearts of everyone within a hundred meters beat hard, and they couldn’t help but look over! The strangest thing is that the late autumn season and the cold weather actually appeared in these people’s minds.
The wind blows slowly, and a large number of yellow leaves fall from the branches, a desolate scene——
Of course, these people also include Fang Linyan.
"What a powerful mental attack, and I haven't found any fluctuations in the artifact on her body. This woman is quite capable." Fang Linyan said to himself.
He suddenly thought of another thing,
Ino, who has never been taken seriously by him, can actually suppress someone like Xie Del firmly. Then isn't she always using a disguise to face him?
"Perhaps this is the reason why Ino didn't come. She didn't want to be quiet in front of me? Damn it, I almost got deceived by her!"
Poor Booker, of course, could not resist such a mental attack. He immediately took a dozen steps quickly - this action triggered a series of violent coughs, a flushed face, and a man next to him.
The doctor immediately rushed over and sprayed him with throat spray to suppress it.
After five minutes, Booker regained his composure and said with a sad smile;
"Sorry, my damn body is always good at causing trouble at the most critical moments." Then he said seriously:
"Your Excellency, Priest Shedel, I am willing to offer my humility and piety, please don't leave." Shedel smiled slightly and said:
"Piety is not spoken with words, but expressed with actions."
Having said this, Shedel took out a bright red bottle. The bottle was very small, only about the size of a back cream, and said seriously to Booker: "My Lord is kind and merciful, but her glory will not shine."
A person who has doubts about her, if you are really willing to give your piety, then drink it."
Booker obviously hesitated for a moment, and the people around him immediately stood up - before Booker's physical condition appeared, at least a dozen people appeared from the darkness around him! A big man immediately stood up aggressively,
Pumping his biceps made it clear:
"Sorry, Mr. Booker cannot take anything that has not been tested." Another doctor also immediately stood up aggressively:
"I can tell you clearly that this is murder! Yes, murder! Because Mr. Booker suffers from multiple diseases and is allergic to as many as thirteen substances, you actually plan to let him eat this untested food
You will be sued by lawyers and bankrupt if you pass anything."
Shedel ignored these people and just looked at Booker with bright eyes. Booker hesitated for less than two seconds before grabbing the small bottle in Shedel's hand and then raised his head to drink.
Go down!!!
The people next to him were shocked. Whether it was these private bodyguards, doctors, etc., they did not expect Booker to be so determined and so agile. Just as they were about to speak, they suddenly smelled an indescribable smell.
Light and fresh smell.
As soon as that smell enters people's noses, it makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if the whole person has been thoroughly washed from beginning to end. So much so that they all stay where they are, and then completely forget their responsibilities!
Booker's reaction after drinking the liquid in the bottle was even more unique. At first, he felt as if he had drank the entire spring, but soon he felt unbearably hot, but it was a very comfortable kind of heat.
, it’s like lying lazily on the grass and basking in the sun for a long time in winter, and your bones are feeling hot and itchy.
"ah......."
He couldn't help but sigh happily.
But this sound instantly shocked the people around them. They hurriedly realized their responsibilities and gathered around to check. However, Booker waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
Because Booker himself clearly felt that after he drank that drop of mysterious liquid, power began to flow out of his limbs. This is what a body in his twenties should have.
The youthful vitality.
However, when Booker struggled to get out of the crowd, he found that Shedel and Simpson had disappeared, and he suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.
And after Booker sat down and drank some water, he felt the familiar feeling of weakness and pain coming back. Although there was only a trace, it was still lingering like a tarsal maggot. It was obviously just suppressed temporarily.
.
Only after getting sick can one realize how precious health is. For Booker, who has been sick for more than ten years, he is deeply aware that health is not only precious, but also an out-and-out luxury.
Booker's eyes gradually became firm: "No, I can't miss this opportunity.
meeting!"...
Outside Booker's house, Shedel and Simpson boarded the RV parked outside. Farrand, who was waiting inside, looked a little surprised: "Isn't it? You didn't bring Booker out with you?"
Xie Del smiled softly and said:
"You don't know how terrifying his home's defense force is, so you just bring it out? OH, NO, that's not what I'm good at. It means launching a war in Manhattan. I believe the Lord Knight doesn't want that.
See this."
At this time, Fang Linyan also appeared, and he said solemnly:
"Shadel's feeling is correct. If we plan to attack forcefully, the threat level inside is not low. After all, this is a place where even monsters like Sound Wave will have a headache."
Shedel threw the gourd to Flanders. Flanders opened it, looked at it, and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Shedel knew how to put it away when it was good, and did not use too much of his medicine.
Then Fang Linyan said:
"What should we do next?" Shedel said:
"Just move to the entrance of Kesen Bar and wait." She then added confidently:
"The highest level of kidnapping is definitely not to rush in and put a knife to someone's throat, but to let the kidnapped target honestly and actively cooperate to come out. We only need to wait two hours...Two hours at most.
Hours."
Fang Linyan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." Xie Del then added:
"By the way, Knight Commander, your purpose is not to kidnap him, right?" Fang Linyan said:
"Of course not, I want to get some information from his parents." Shedel said:
"Then leave this matter to me?"
........
Forty minutes later,
Booker fell into deep thought while looking at the new experience report. This report clearly stated that his current physical condition has recovered a lot compared to before. If he was weak and on the verge of death before, then at least now
He can only be regarded as a severely ill patient.
Obviously, his attending physician regarded all of this as his own merit, and then went to take credit proudly. At this time, he had begun to collect various data and was preparing to write a paper that could be published in the "Lancet"——
——This can increase his next job salary by at least 50%.
Of course, only Booker knew clearly that his physical improvement had nothing to do with him. It was caused by the bottle of medicine handed over by priest Shedel! It was really a bottle of magical medicine, and the liquid in it was
Only three drops? No! Two drops already made me feel obviously transformed, and I no longer had that suffocating feeling like a noose of death around my neck.
However, how can this be enough! People are all animals who have to wait for a long time. At this time, what Booker wants is not just to survive. What he looks forward to is to have a strong and healthy body, so that he can enjoy what money brings to him like a normal person.
hapiness.
Thinking of this, Booker looked at his mobile phone, and there was a clear text message on it, the sender was Farland: "Two hours, go to the Corson Bar alone."
This message contained only one sentence, eleven words. It seemed to be meaningless, but it marked the time and place. At the same time, Booker's ears also heard the words of Priest Shedel, and he couldn't help but say to himself
Said to himself:
"Humility...and piety?"
Then his eyes turned firm, and he reached out and pressed the call bell next to him:
"I want to go out, oh? It doesn't matter, just use ordinary security measures, because I am going to my friends in Chicago Manor, and the security is absolutely reassuring."
"No problem, I feel pretty good now. Dr. Jones just examined me and he said I'm as good as a California brown bear."
"I'm really fine!" "Okay, bye."
.......
an hour later,
The panting Booker jumped out of a taxi, then threw a hundred-dollar bill at the driver and said, "No need to look for it."
,
The black driver's eyes widened immediately, then he pursed his thick lips and kissed the banknote. He smiled brightly and threw a simple business card to Booker: "I am Black, fast and steady Black, next time
If you want to use the car, please be sure to call me."
Then he drove away in a car.
Booker looked around, then looked up and saw the Corson Bar next to him.
Unfortunately, the door here is closed, and the lock on the door is rusty, and it looks like it hasn't been opened for a few months at least.
A huge sense of disappointment immediately surged into Booker's heart. He took the initiative to leave the heavy protection. He was originally a little scared and frustrated, but now he began to become frustrated and angry.
With obvious unwillingness, Booker came to the door of the bar and looked inside. However, this irrational action first caused damage to his olfactory cells---it was thrown out from the crack of the door.
The pungent smell immediately made Booker cover his nose and take a few steps back.
The smell was like a dead rat that had been rotting for a month + strong alcohol mixed together. It was extremely impactful and could be said to make people nauseous. Booker retched a few times and wiped it away in embarrassment.
Mouth, a kind-hearted black uncle next to him saw this and said:
"Kid, this place was cordoned off two months ago because of a shooting. At that time, the murderer took a submachine gun and fired wildly on the dance floor."
After hearing this, Booker could be said to have become even more depressed. He said thank you and then prepared to leave dejectedly. But at this moment, an unremarkable RV stopped beside him.
Then the door of the RV opened, and Simpson stood at the door and whistled to him to get in the car.
Needless to say what happened next, under the charm of Shedel and the magic of Flanders, Booker's disease was greatly alleviated, at least 70% cured.
Fang Linyan was very impressed with Xie Del's ability at this time, so he entrusted her with the next steps.
This is just like taking a final exam. Since the top student has answered all the most difficult questions, showing that he has the ability to get 100% points, of course there is no need to answer the rest of the questions one by one.
Fang Linyan, who only needed answers and no process, of course just let go and waited for Xie Del to send him the information he wanted. After all, he still had some things to do, such as some information provided by Captain Monta that still needed to be processed.
Verify.
Not only that, while waiting for Booker, Fang Linyan accidentally saw a piece of news in the newspaper, which came from the sports section.
The content of this message is: New NBA Finals MVP Kobe Bryant came to New York with the purpose of finding M.D. Anderson, one of the top three orthopedic specialists in the world, to treat his left knee injury.
This chronic disease has troubled him on and off for three years, causing his knees to accumulate fluid and become inflamed many times, which at some point seriously affected his competitive state. After all, it is definitely not easy to play high-intensity basketball with an injured leg.
A pleasant thing.
Therefore, Mr. Kobe decided to completely eradicate this hidden danger in his body this offseason.
After multi-faceted evaluation and analysis by his team, it was finally decided that Dr. M.D. Anderson would be the surgeon and the treatment plan was determined.
After seeing this news, Fang Linyan's eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly checked through Xie Del's contacts and found that Dr. Anderson's clinic was only 20 kilometers away. Although the surgery date was set for the day after tomorrow, Kobe Bryant died two days ago.
After being admitted to the clinic, a series of examinations and preoperative preparations were performed.
It is worth mentioning that foreign clinics and Chinese clinics are two different things. The latter is a small shop that can be supported by one doctor + one nurse + one room, while the former is likely to be able to receive tens of thousands of patients, and the classification is extremely
Complete large institutions, such as Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic...
On the one hand, Fang Linyan wants to improve his reputation among the Decepticons. On the other hand, he is also very interested in Captain Monta's encounter——so this means that he must go to the Bering Strait.
It was a very far away place and required a lot of effort
time and effort.
Therefore, Fang Linyan could only transform into a time management master, seize every opportunity to do more things during his time in New York, and seize the time to visit Mr. Kobe to see if he could complete related milestones.
After giving a thumbs up gesture to Shedel, Fang Linyan got on the crimson motorcycle transformed by the Decepticon Kotia, while Xingyi got on the back seat, and then sped away.
Next, Fang Linyan only needed to hold the handle of the car symbolically. Kotiya showed very strong driving skills. If we want to put it into statistics, it is at least basic driving LV15 + special driving LV10 or above. After all, this
It's the Decepticon's instinct.
By the way, special driving = car stunt performance. If compared with real people, Mr. Ke Shouliang can reach LV5, and the virtual character in the Speed Series can reach LV8.
As for basic driving, the world's top F1 racing drivers can reach LV8 at most.
After arriving at Dr. Anderson's clinic, Fang Linyan sneaked in directly. Chino's turban-enhancing ability would still last for a long time before it expired, so he traveled smoothly without encountering any obstacles at all.
Until he met a large group of bodyguards. These bodyguards surrounded a ward tightly. There was no doubt that there was a big shot inside, and most likely it was Kobe. Of course, this also saved Fang Linyan from looking for someone.
Troubles, of course, these bodyguards have also become Fang Linyan’s biggest trouble!
"What the hell, why do you, an NBA star, create the same security arrangements as the president?" Fang Linyan couldn't help but secretly complained.
Not only that, after walking around for a few times, Fang Linyan discovered that there was a big man in the ward who actually gave him a strong sense of threat.
Even under the protection of Stealth + Kino's turban, as long as he gets a little closer, the big man will immediately look over. Although it can be seen from his eyes that he actually doesn't see anything, it is like a beast.
The terrible intuition also gave Fang Linyan a headache.
And Fang Linyan felt that this guy's pupils were not very human-like, but more like a cat, an animal like a leopard that is good at hunting.
Fang Linyan only tried it twice, but there was actually a thorny feeling on his back. He was also a very cautious person, and there was a message on his retina, which was sent by Xingyi:
"You have to be careful. I have found some inside information here. The security around Kobe is quite strong. Please step back first."
Fang Linyan was a kind-hearted person and quickly came to the cafe outside the hospital, where Xingyi had booked a box and was waiting for him.
At this time, Xingyi was looking at a mobile phone. There were two obvious electronic lights on the surface of the device, which were shining with a strange light. It looked as if the eyes were blinking, and at the same time, it was emitting a strange sound.
Electronic synthesized sound:
"Listen, Bichi, I! The great Mr. Stio orders you to give me some more of that delicious power! I am tired of the soft taste of 220V AC, otherwise I will let you kneel down and lick me
toe."
Of course, this mobile phone is no ordinary product. It was created by the intelligence officer under Sound Wave, named Steo.
Confusion itself can transform into a radio, a mobile phone, a laptop, etc. The firewall on earth is completely useless to it. Of course, this Mr. Stio also has similar abilities.
Of course, like most Decepticons, it is arrogant, arrogant, likes to intimidate, and swears a lot.
