48 Hours a Day - Chapter 1318
Chapter 1318: Entering The Net
Thor’s gaze swept across the crowd again. “What do you want me to do?”
“We… want to borrow your hammer.”The pancake shop owner didn’t beat around the bush and said straightforwardly.
“Only I can use my hammer, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry…”Thor suddenly thought of something and his gaze turned cold. “You want me to kill people for You?”
“That’s right.”
“Kill Who?”
Before the owner of the pancake restaurant could open his mouth again, someone had already come up with a man on his back. The man’s hands and feet were tied up with nylon ropes and his head was covered by a brown paper bag. He could only barely make out that it was a man, the man was not very old, but he was not too young either. There were a lot of blood stains on his body. He must have experienced a fierce battle. However, that was a long time ago. He was still in a coma and had no reaction at all.
“Is it him?”Thor frowned.
“Yes,”the owner of the pancake shop nodded and said.
“What grudge does he have with you? is he not paying for eating your pancakes?”
“It’s okay if you take it that way. How about it? Am I right? This matter is very easy for you, and it won’t waste any of your time. As long as you swing your hammer at his head, then you can get what you want.”
Hearing this, Thor looked at the person on the ground again. He held his hammer and stood in place, as if thinking about whether this deal was worth it.
The others in the room looked at Thor with expectant eyes, waiting for his answer. However, they didn’t expect Thor to take large strides to the man on the ground who had his hands and feet tied, then, he reached out and tore off the brown paper bag on his head.
When he saw the people below, Thor was stunned. “I’ve seen this guy before! He’s a new god that has only appeared in the last 200 years. He seems to be… some mechanical god.”
The owner of the pancake restaurant saw that he couldn’t stop him in time, so he could only admit, “That’s right. The person we asked you to kill is him.”
“What grudge does he have with you?”Thor asked, but soon he understood, “He doesn’t have any grudge with you. And since he has fallen into your hands, he has no chance to resist. So you don’t want to kill him at all. You want me to kill him. I understand.”
Thor’s eyes turned cold as he looked at the owner of the pancake shop, “Although I’m reckless, I’m not stupid. It’s said that he’s quite important among the new gods, and I’m the signature figure among the old gods. If he dies in my hands, then the new gods and the old gods will have to fight each other even if they want to. But if that’s the case, I have a question to ask. Why are you so painstakingly trying to provoke a war between the new gods and the Old Gods?”
“It’s just to survive.”The owner of the pancake restaurant did not hide anything, “Surviving is our only wish. If we continue to stay in this lifeless town, we will all disappear quietly.”
“Forgive me for being blunt. Even if there is a big battle, with your strength, you can’t even protect yourselves. How many of you can really profit from it?”Thor sneered, “It’s just the wishful thinking of a group of people who are about to die.”
“Wishful thinking is better than having no hope at all,”the man with the birthmark on his face urged. “What are you waiting for, son of Odin? Hurry up and do it.”
Hearing this, Thor didn’t rush to swing his hammer. “After saying so much, you still haven’t proven that my wife is indeed in your hands.”
“How do you want us to prove it?”? “Bring her to you? You’re Thor. We’re not your match even if we join forces. If you go back on your word and take her away, we won’t be able to do anything to you. On the contrary, you killed someone first. We Can’t Beat You, so of course we don’t dare to lie to you,”said the owner of the pancake restaurant.
Thor saw that the other party was not willing to produce any evidence, but he suddenly stared into the eyes of the person with the birthmark on his face, “When we entered the door, you didn’t recognize me at all, and you didn’t know that I kidnapped Seth from the organizing committee. Moreover, you also said that you didn’t know any Bullsh * t Sif. You Didn’t know where my wife was at all. From the beginning to the end, you were just trying to trick me into killing people, right? !”
Thor had already raised the hammer in his hand by the time he finished speaking. His hair and beard were all spread out.
The Man with the scar on his face, who had been questioned by Thor, was so frightened that he took three steps back and sat down on the ground.
The crowd was in an uproar. Even the owner of the pancake restaurant had a change in expression.
It wasn’t just the dying people in the tube-shaped building who heard this. There was also a man and a woman with binoculars and earphones in another building a kilometer away.
The woman was chewing gum as she clicked her tongue. “Didn’t that guy say that Thor is the most brainless of all the a-rank gods? I didn’t expect that he would be seen through in the end.”
The man’s expression was very serious, “The main reason is that the gods who live in seclusion here are too weak. Even if we gave them the god of machinery half a month in advance, they wouldn’t have made any decent arrangements.”
“It’s true. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe that there are gods who can live in such a miserable state. Some sell pancakes, some sell fake shoes, and they can’t even afford to turn on the air conditioner. It’s simply the shame of the god World.”
The man heard this and said lightly, “Boss said that gods are inferior creations compared to humans. They only have powerful divine power, but unfortunately, they don’t have any growth. They are restricted by those legends and stories, just like marionettes. Their personality, behavior, and logic are all fixed. They can’t even learn any lessons from their mistakes.”
“However, you have to admit that some of these guys are ridiculously strong. For example, Thor.”The woman licked her lips, she had already seen a dark cloud enveloping the apartment building and the nearby streets. During this period, thunder rumbled and electric currents appeared faintly. It was as if it was the end of the world. She could not help but lick her lips. “Is this the power of an A Class?”
“Since the fish has already fallen into the net, then it’s time for the Hunter to appear.”The man put down the binoculars in his hands, “Tell the straw hat group to prepare to attack. Simon alone can take down one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Pestilence. With so many of us, how can we not be able to deal with an A Class?”
“Are we finally going to get serious? I’ve been bored to death just dealing with small fish and shrimp these past few days.”The woman immediately became excited upon hearing this, “This time, we should be able to see how much damage the Godslayer bullet can cause to an A rank god. Only with this data will we be able to evaluate our next actions.”
“Let’s focus on the present first. We’ll talk about other things after completing the mission boss gave us.”
