In this world, there are always places that are untouched by sunlight.
If the sun can't reach these places, the neon lights of the city can't illuminate them either.
In the darkness, someone was moving, navigating between buildings with quick, precise movements, climbing to the roof with bare hands.
In the moonlight, a black trench coat billowed in the wind, and under the black hat was a dark face... No, it was a mask!
Arthur removed the mask to catch his breath; he really disliked the feeling.
"It's suffocating."
He stretched his chest, loosened his limbs, and after a few jumps in place, Arthur took a deep breath, exhaling all the air completely, feeling rejuvenated.
Putting the mask back on, Arthur moved.
Like a black wind, he leaped nimbly between rooftops, feeling almost as if he had the powers of Spider-Man.
Truth be told, Arthur had noticed some interesting changes in his body during this time.
Back when he was active on the battlefield, he had the strength and speed he needed at that time.
However, his coordination and flexibility had been his weaknesses.
But now... he felt incredibly coordinated, and his every movement was fluid.
Things he couldn't do before were now easy.
"Have I been taking dance lessons during my seventy years of sleep?" Arthur thought as he landed on the roof of Randolph's club.
When he reached the edge of the roof, he glanced down twice, and when he saw that no one noticed him, he walked lightly to the roof door.
Pulling a wire from his Disassembler space, he crouched by the door and began to fiddle with it.
He had learned this trick in the army...
But he couldn't tell if his skills were outdated or rusty.
After three minutes of trying, the door still wouldn't open.
Arthur's face darkened.
Returning to the edge of the roof, he calculated his next move and sighed softly, "I didn't want to do this.
He dashed to the door and delivered a powerful kick!
With a loud crash, the metal door was knocked out of its frame!
Arthur dashed forward, halfway down the stairs, grabbed the railing and turned to the next set of stairs.
Facing the doorway, he saw that someone had opened it, clearly having heard the noise and come to investigate.
They locked eyes, and the guard was dazed, doubting that what he saw was a person.
These emergency stairs were unlit.
With Arthur dressed all in black, wearing a black hat and mask, and only his black eyes visible in the darkness, who would believe it was a person without a closer look?
The guard hesitated, but Arthur didn't.
In a flash, he was in front of the guard, who woke up and hurriedly drew his gun. But in the next second, the gun was snatched from his hand!
Before he could react or scream, his head hit the wall and he was instantly knocked out.
Arthur didn't waste any time. He had been using the Eye of Horus to study the situation inside for some time.
The entire floor consisted of only one room and one guard.
The room was Randolph's office, and the guard... well, the guard had already been knocked out.
However, footsteps could be heard from the stairwell, indicating that the guards from the floor below were on their way up.
With no time to waste, Arthur took two steps to the door and then... kicked it open!
"So violent!"
Arthur complained inwardly. His plan for the past few days had been quite meticulous.
Top priority had been to infiltrate silently, reach Randolph's office without making a sound, and deal with his guard and Randolph himself.
But to his dismay, when it came time to execute the plan, he couldn't unlock the roof door... He had initially thought that the door wouldn't be an obstacle.
It was a humiliating failure!
Shaking his head, Arthur entered the office.
The muscular Randolph, dressed in a suit, glared angrily at the door.
After two loud bangs, even an idiot would know someone had broken in.
He held a gun and taunted Arthur, "No matter who you are, you've come to the wrong place."
"Calm down, boy."
Arthur sighed, "You don't know how dangerous that toy in your hand is."
But Randolph had no intention of talking to Arthur. His finger moved to pull the trigger!
Having watched Randolph for some time now, Arthur instantly judged the trajectory of the shot and the timing to dodge. Just as Randolph raised his hand, Arthur lunged forward...
At that moment, a dormant force within Arthur suddenly surged and he felt the space around him twist slightly, accompanied by a subtle feeling of having crossed something!
He didn't know exactly what he had crossed over, but when he looked up, he found himself facing a wall!
"Fuck!"
Arthur was shocked!
Randolph's office was quite large, and he had been at least twenty feet from the wall. How could he suddenly be so close?
Without pausing to think, he stepped on the wall and used his momentum to run up it.
With a mid-air somersault, he landed perfectly behind Randolph.
Sensing that something was wrong, Randolph turned around almost at the same time as Arthur. Their eyes met and Randolph raised his gun to shoot... He didn't care how Arthur had gotten there. In fact, the more Arthur knew, the more dangerous he was.
Eliminating all threats was the only way to ensure his own survival!
The logic was sound, but Arthur didn't play by the rules.
Just as Randolph raised his hand to shoot, Arthur suddenly grabbed his wrist... and then Randolph disappeared!
"Amazing vanishing trick!"
Arthur, proud of himself, then ran to a corner where there was a safe, reached out, and the safe vanished too!
He had been eyeing that safe for days...
The footsteps were now at the door, but without looking back, Arthur ran to the office window, jumped through it, shattering the glass, and landed at the club entrance.
The two guards at the door stared at each other in shock. Was it raining people now?

Realizing that Arthur was definitely not a godsend, the two decided to take him down!
But no sooner had the thought crossed their minds than Arthur lunged forward.
First, he landed a blow to the neck of the man on the left, causing him to stagger backward, clutching his neck. Before he could retreat far, Arthur grabbed him and threw his massive body right at his companion.
The two of them were both big and strong, and now they were rolling together in a heap, their combined weight and the hardness of the ground making Arthur wince in sympathy. "That must hurt!"
As the words fell, he plunged into the crowd.
As for where the crowd came from... with such a commotion, bystanders were bound to gather.
As soon as he was gone, a group of thugs from the club rushed out, dispersing the crowd and searching for Arthur... but they couldn't find him.
Actually, Arthur hadn't gone far. He was right in the middle of the crowd.
In fact, he was actually being chased away by those thugs while everyone's attention was focused on the commotion outside the club.
The reason he was able to do this was because he used the fact that everyone's attention was focused on the incident at the club entrance to hide his black outfit in the Disassembler Space.
It was so convenient; he didn't even have to reach out and touch anything.
Anyway, Arthur thought, he had never realized before just how useful the Disassembler's space could be.
It was like having a bug-like ability.
In the past, he didn't know if he could take people with him, but today he saw it.
Randolph was at least six feet tall and covered in muscle... but he was still taken away without even a chance to resist.
"I wonder if it would be harder to take someone away if they resisted?"
In the next moment, Arthur had a sudden inspiration.
He suddenly felt that the Gilders were pathetic!
Armed with a bunch of treasures, a "Wang's Treasure" would make him feel great.
He could turn around and throw a bunch of musclemen at the people he had gathered.
Hell, they would either scare him to death or not even kill him!
"That scene... would definitely make people look away!"
...
...
On the roof of a building!
Arthur had already put on his disguise and shouted loudly, "I've made a decision, and it's you, Randolph!"
Muscle Boy Randolph appeared in front of Arthur in an instant, continuing the previous unfinished actions, and was about to shoot at Arthur... but he didn't have a gun!
Arthur had only made Randolph appear, and his gun remained in the Disassembler space.
And Randolph seemed to be a little confused, looking around confusedly, almost asking three questions of his soul.
"Are you all right?"
Arthur waved at him and asked.
"You bastard, what did you do to me after all?"
Randolph tried to raise his fist, but after two steps out, he turned in a circle and lay on the ground: "I'm so dizzy..."
"Uh... do you feel like... you're motion sick?" Arthur scratched his head.
"I never get motion sickness. Damn it, what have you done to me?"
Randolph glared angrily, his eyes bloodshot, and he looked at Arthur as if Arthur were his mortal enemy... well, he wasn't wrong!
After thinking for a moment, Arthur waved his hand. "Come out, Safe!"
When Randolph saw this, he became furious.
"It's mine now," Arthur told him, "You'd better calm down. If you're willing to cooperate, just tell me the password. Otherwise, I have ways to get this thing open."
Of course, he had learned how to open a safe before, and the one in front of him didn't look much different from the ones he had seen in the past.
But the door on the roof of the club left Arthur with a certain psychological shadow.
"Don't even think about it, you thief!"
Randolph was furious. He had never seen anyone as shameless as Arthur.
Kidnapping him, stealing his safe, and now asking him for the password?
Arthur sighed, "Forget it, I guess it's always best to do it yourself."
He crouched down against the safe, listened to the twisting and turning, and surprisingly, in less than a minute, the safe was fiddled open.
Randolph scrambled to his feet. "This is mine."
"Oh."
Arthur grabbed his wrist, and then Randolph was gone.
Watching Randolph in the Disassembler space, Arthur noticed that this guy was in a state of complete stillness.
It seemed as if time had stopped at that moment.
"What could be the reason for this?"
Arthur remembered the way Randolph had behaved when he had been released, a feeling of disorientation... he had experienced that too.
He sighed softly. He didn't want to think about it anymore. What good would it do if the outcome was what he expected? Anyway, he was here now and this was his reality.
"Let's see what's in here... Here we go!"
Arthur looked into the safe and saw stacks of banknotes, gold bars, and jewels, all haphazardly placed inside the safe.
And at the bottom, bags of white powder, along with some files, brought a slight smile to Arthur's lips. "You're in trouble now."
With these things here, Randolph had basically run out of options.
After picking Randolph up again, he was still in the position of lunging forward... but he couldn't keep it steady and ended up falling flat on his face.
Arthur now had a sack in his hand into which he stuffed the powerless Randolph. "Anything else you want to say?"
"Who are you, really?"
Randolph clenched his teeth and stared at Arthur.
Arthur was silent for a moment, then grinned, "You can call me... Instructor."
...
...
Two days later, early in the morning, Lily's loud screams woke Arthur from his dreams.
He had dreamed of dancing with Agent Carter... and because of that, he couldn't be sure if it was a sweet dream or a nightmare.
"Hurry up and come out, hurry up and come out, big news..."
Lily was still screaming outside. Arthur could only lazily get out of bed, open the door, and look at Lily with a helpless expression on his face. "Have you finally turned into a girl?"
"...If you mention this again, we can't be friends anymore..."
Lily became angry after hearing what Arthur said. She didn't realize that it was just a joke from two or three days ago.
"Alright, alright..." Arthur chuckled, "So what happened?"
"The Instructor appeared..." Lily excitedly handed the newspaper she was holding to Arthur. "The contest is over! And I... my painting won first place in the contest! I'll treat you to a feast tomorrow with the prize money!!!"
Arthur looked at this energetic girl, who always seemed to be full of life, and couldn't help but smile. "Okay."
