Chapter 16 The Shadow in the Mirror

Chapter 16 Dark Shadow in the Mirror

Since Natasha learned about Ash's identity, her worries about the fire prevention girl have also decreased, so she stayed at the beach for a while and then left.

Natasha returned to her residence and prepared to make good use of her vacation, but she had been on the run and failed to find anything of her own.

'Why don't you go see the nun again.'

With this thought in mind, Natasha soaked in the bathtub, immersed her whole body in the water, and then lowered her head and sank into the water, trying to use this method to calm herself down.

After taking a bath, Natasha stood in front of the dressing mirror and used a hair dryer to dry her hair. At this time, she felt inexplicably irritable.

Putting down the hair dryer, Natasha searched for anything around her that would make her feel a change. As an agent, she had to be cautious if she could survive.

Although she was in her own home, Natasha still checked every corner of the room with a gun. However, this feeling of irritation became stronger and stronger.

Wanting to find out the reason, Natasha returned to the dressing table where she first felt the sensation.

Looking at the mirror in front of her, Natasha suddenly saw a strange figure holding an iron hook appearing behind her in the mirror.

In an instant, Natasha turned around and pointed the gun at the position where the figure appeared in the mirror behind her. However, she found nothing.

Looking at everything at home, Natasha saw her dressing mirror out of the corner of her eye. She saw herself in the mirror slowly walking out from the darkness behind her, a face covered with flame scars and a bee full of activity in its mouth.

, and even some bees crawled out from the scars at the corners of the mouth, covering the black shadow's face.

The black shadow slowly approached Natasha, then smiled strangely and raised his right hand. Only then did Natasha see that the black shadow was not holding an iron hook, but the iron hook was directly connected to the black shadow's right limb.

The iron hook extends directly from the wrist.

Natasha fired directly at the black shadow behind her until she emptied the magazine.

However, in the mirror, the black figure was still standing behind Natasha holding the iron hook on his right limb.

The black shadow swung the iron hook towards Natasha. Natasha rolled and deflected the attack of the iron hook. Then she changed the magazine and shot at the mirror of the dressing table.

The bullet casings were scattered on the floor along with the broken mirror. Natasha hid behind the sofa, and the only sound in the quiet environment was her own breathing.

After waiting for a moment and not being attacked again, Natasha decided to leave this weird place first.

Putting on a hoodie to cover her face, Natasha followed the secret agent manual to find a place to cover herself.

New York is not safe late at night, especially for a woman walking alone on the street.

Natasha had used the pistol in her pocket to disperse several groups of people with evil intentions, and this situation continued until she entered the subway station.

The New York City Subway has been in operation since 1904. It is the underground railway system with the largest number of stations in the world and one of the oldest public underground railway systems in the world, with more than 1,000 kilometers of operating track.

For Natasha, this round-the-clock transportation system is her best hiding place now.

First, she can keep moving to prevent being found in a fixed location. Second, the New York subway is running even at night and has a certain amount of people, which can provide her with some cover. Third, in places with surveillance,

She can also deliver messages to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Apart from the homeless people, the only people on the subway at night were those who came home late. Natasha found a place with few people to sit down.

Natasha looked around with her peripheral vision. In her opinion, the people on the subway were harmless to her, but the irritability in her heart still lingered in her heart for a long time.

Suddenly, Natasha saw a familiar figure on the opposite carriage glass. The figure stood behind her and waved the iron hook in his hand towards her.

'Sure enough, we are chasing her.' Natasha thought to herself, reaching into her pocket with her right hand and holding the gun.

However, the sense of crisis in her heart became stronger and stronger, and the warning in her heart made her unable to help but shout out.

At this time, a crisp low sound shook away her irritability, and Natasha completely calmed down.

'I was sitting on the subway, and the guy's figure was displayed on the glass of the car opposite me. However, there was no one in front of me. In other words, he was behind me.'

Thinking of this, Natasha lowered her head and hid on the side of the seat. At the same time, a torn crack appeared on the seat where she had just been.

Natasha looked at the glass of the subway car, moved around in the narrow environment of the subway, and avoided attacks one after another.

While moving again and again, Natasha slowly approached the emergency brake valve at the connection between the carriages.

After approaching the brake valve, Natasha took out her pistol and fired a shot through the car window.

‘Bang!’ The gunshot was the alarm bell for the Ami people. From the moment the gunshot sounded, the people on the carriage squatted down in a well-trained manner and covered their heads with various objects.

The atmosphere in the carriage paused at this moment, and then became noisy in an instant. People exerted their potential and used various escape gestures. The people who escaped from this carriage brought people in other carriages with them.

resulting in larger evacuations.

Natasha smashed the car window, pulled down the brake valve, and continued to dodge the attack from an unknown place. She waited for the car to slow down slightly, then jumped out of the broken car window.

And this is the thrilling scene that Cassel and Beckett saw.

Natasha jumped out of the carriage and rolled on the two-way track to slow down. Fortunately, she was strong and did not suffer any secondary injuries.

Walking along the track, she found the subway maintenance tunnel. Taking advantage of the chaos of the sudden stop of the train, Natasha got in and left the underground.

In an alley, Natasha took out her mobile phone and prepared to contact SHIELD to report the situation this time. This was no longer something she could solve.

Looking at her face reflected on the black screen of her phone, Natasha seemed to understand something.

Each attack was carried out in a place with reflective objects. The first time in the apartment, a dark shadow was seen in the dressing mirror. The second time in the car, the attacker was seen on the window glass.

'In other words, only reflective objects can reflect him, and he relies on this medium to attack me.'

Thinking of this, Natasha slammed the phone in her hand against the wall next to her. The phone shattered and scattered all over the floor.

Natasha reached out and opened the hood on her head, which helped her observe the surrounding environment, especially those reflective objects.

Naturally, SHIELD couldn't have only one method of contact. Natasha quickly reached the next emergency contact point: a newsstand.

Newsstands are a tried-and-tested contact point for agents. It has a large flow of people and a complex customer base. The information received can be disguised as any newspaper or book. A brief exchange in front of the newsstand will not arouse anyone's suspicion.

After observing the newsstand and seeing that the glass on the windows around it had been covered by various newspapers, Natasha stepped forward.

After buying a designated newspaper, Natasha told her boss the secret code: "You have been at the newsstand for ten years, how did you manage to sleep?"

I have been killing fish at RT-Mart for ten years, and my heart has long been as cold as the knife in my hand. Only looking at the votes of the officials can make my blood boil.
