Chapter 106 Playing with toys
I dodged a kunai thrown at me with a note attached to it. Surprisingly the grunt who tossed it had a somewhat functional chi core even though he was only a messenger. I think we're just now getting into the real big leagues. Actual cores and higher up from here on out. I read the message and can feel the anthrax on it. I chuckle as I cleanse the spores from my system.
It was about time to be done with all this I thought. Probably the last big fight... No, they’ll drag it out to two or three. This is going to be one of the higher-ups trying to prove their strength, then it’ll probably be an ambush by all the bounty hunters then all the leaders after I’d assume. That’s just a guess though, who knows if this isn’t going to end today?
I headed towards the same park where this all started expecting to see a large group of ninjas but there was nothing. If they were there, they were doing a damn good job concealing themselves. Even my extrasensory skills like light and dark sense didn’t pick anything up. No hidden heartbeats or smells giving them away. They must have not been here and were waiting for me to enter first.
I would rather not walk directly into an ambush but at this point, unless one of them had an adamantium-tipped arrow or sniper bullet I was probably walking out of this fine. Even that would only slow me down as long as it would take for my regeneration to push it out of my body. I think even if my brain was crushed at this point it still might heal itself.
If my brains were destroyed then any other part of me could be healed before I died as long as someone wasn’t actively attacking me while I recovered. My mid-superhuman regeneration was close to reaching the next rank. That would let me rapidly recover, not at the speed or wounds as Wolverine but it would be much, much more difficult to kill me after that.
I walked into the park and began feeding the pigeons. No lake for them to land in but just sitting on a bench was enough to get surrounded by dozens in minutes. A single woman approached me and sat down on the bench. She tossed out bread to them but I warned her. “That’s the wrong thing to feed pigeons.”
She looked at me confused as the birds began to fight over the large piece of bread she had thrown on the ground. “Oh? They seem to enjoy it.” I could only sigh as of course, they would. “Of course they would, that’s equivalent to fast food for them. It’s not good for them if they eat it for every meal but every movie has people feeding birds bread. So most people feed them bread instead of actually good food for them.”
I tossed out another handful of birdseed and sat in silence. “I used to do this in my previous life. Come here and feed the birds... It’s nice to just sit back and think... Probably the only reason I didn’t kill myself... With all my powers this bag of birdseed was something I bought with money instead of stealing... It brings me back to a simpler time.”
