Chapter 7 Suspicious Mutants
The wrist had already turned into nothingness, and the position that had not yet disappeared was still rising. The smoke dissipated in the air as soon as it rose, and it dissipated very quickly, but at least it was still time to see clearly that all the smoke floated in the same direction before it dissipated.
The crow did not act immediately, but sat on the bench with his eyes closed, and his whole body remained motionless, as if he was asleep. Because his clothes were blocked, in the eyes of the pedestrians around him, he was just a person who had nothing to do and was sitting on the bench to digest food. No one would have thought that this person was searching for targets that might be a few kilometers away in some strange way.
This is exactly one of the forms of the crow soul image, which turns part of the body into a source energy crow. Although it is a little far away, it cannot provide feedback on what the source energy crow sees specifically, since it is part of its own energy, at least its location can be judged.
"Huh?" The crow suddenly opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows in confusion. He had searched for that direction but was futile and could not see the shadow of the green mutant. However, the order he gave to Yuanneng Crow was to keep a close eye on the other party from a high altitude unless the other party entered a building for a long time. Since Yuanneng Crow was still hovering in that direction, the only explanation was that the other party was still there, and he just avoided his own investigation.
Interestingly, the crow's interest is getting stronger and stronger. Things do have nothing to do with him, but so what? What's the taste of life without excitement? Besides, the secret of being chased by everyone often means irresistible benefits. Some people may think that they have too much money, but at least the crow doesn't, so he immediately controlled the two pets and flew over.
"I've found you." The crow's eyes flashed, he slowly got up, slowly tidied up his wrinkled clothes, then he picked up his suitcase, put on his coat with his broken hand, walked along the street with a calm expression, and walked into the alley next to the main road.
The moment when he was away from pedestrian sight and entered the shadows cast by the buildings on both sides, the crow seemed to melt in the shadows and disappeared completely in the alleys. There was no process, only the result, as if the shadow was the passage to another world.
However, shortly after he disappeared, the soil on the ground surging in the lawn on the street, and then a narrow crack was cracked. A baby-like man came out of the crack. As soon as he stood still, the joints made a burst of noise, and his body instantly increased more than ten times, becoming a tall, thin man like a skeleton.
"Chief, report the hole, the target has left, and the intention is unknown." The man's soybean-like little eyes swept through the crow's position just now, lowering his voice and saying, "It should be a rare ability to pass through the shadows."
"Yes, he is the energy controller, much stronger than me. He should be a level 2. He did not converge the source energy after he came out of the fast food restaurant. The specific ability is unknown, but the soul image should be divided, and it must be separated one-on-one in physical parts, just like Sister Dragonfly."
"The possibility is very high, because although he had concealed it well just now, I found out from his gait that there was a little weight missing on his left side. Yes, it was definitely missing in recent hours, otherwise the gait would be naturally much more. The most likely explanation is that he energy a part of the body and then separated it. Yes, I don't think it would be an unlimited separation, otherwise there would be no need to let himself be incomplete for a while."
"Unsure, his behavior is not abnormal, there is no evidence that he is related to this matter... Yes, you are right, and you really don't need evidence. Yes, yes, I understand, once you encounter it again, I will notify you as soon as possible."
The communication was cut off, and the man who claimed to be chiseling a hole stared at the disappearing shadow of the crow for a while, and returned to the size of a baby in the blast of joints, quickly drilled back to the ground, and the soil quickly filled behind him, and soon returned to level, which was almost difficult to see the difference from before he appeared.
As for the pedestrians around who witnessed his appearance and disappearance, they did not show surprise from beginning to end, and they could even be described as calm, as if they had been used to it for a long time.
The crow didn't know what happened behind him because he had indeed left. At this time, he was galloping rapidly in the shadows.
Crows have always been a symbol of darkness, and shadows are his world. Once they are integrated into it, the crows merge into the shadows. Wherever the shadows extend, the crows may be where they are. People outside can never discover them through their eyesight and can only judge by the position of the source energy in the shadows.
His speed was very fast, and the long shadow flew in a flash under his feet. When his steps reached the end of the shadow, he had appeared in the light without warning and appeared in front of the passers-by around him.
But this is not the end, it is just the beginning, because wherever there is light, there is shadow, light is just a passerby of time, and shadow is the eternal master.
The passerby who saw the crow felt a flash of lightning before his eyes, as if a black lightning flashed across his eyes. Before he could even realize what had happened, he had already passed by the passerby and was immersed in another shadow. The only thing the passerby could do was scratch his head in confusion, and continued his previous behavior inexplicably.
One after another, the crows were unknown to rush and jumping in the shadow of the city. The crows in the air guided him at all times, making him familiar with the route as if he had just arrived here. When he finally stopped and emerged from the shadow, he had already appeared on the roof of an eight-story low building, in the shadow of the high-rise building next to him, overlooking the back streets and alleys below.
"Ha, I've found you." He pushed the gold-rimmed glasses with his hand that had recovered at some point, and the previous declaration was repeated in his heart. The crow habitually showed a very deceptive shy smile. Below him, the mutant he had just met was talking to a few young people wandering in the alley.
No wonder I didn't see him in the first search, because the mutant's skin had quietly changed color at some point, from dark green to yellowish brown. The difference was so big that the two pets and even the crow themselves subconsciously ignored the mutant on the ground.
Squatting on the edge of the low building like a real crow, the crow looked at the mutant below and fell into thought. Is your color change active behavior or a natural reaction caused by the influence of time? If it is an active behavior, it is quite intriguing.
Indeed, in the eyes of the crow, the behavior of the mutant is unreasonable. In fact, it is not just a change of color. From beginning to end, the mutant's behavior is so strange that the crow cannot judge whether the other party knows whether he is currently in his situation.
For a person with a secret, such a swagger is by no means a wise act. Especially when you know someone is following you, it is the best choice to get rid of the stalker and then move quietly towards the destination. Even if you don’t know the destination, there are countless ways to obtain information. If you ask for directions everywhere, even if you change your skin color, you will not be able to get rid of the stalker. Apart from making more and more followers like you are now, there is no second possibility.
Yes, even though the mutant had already crossed two or three kilometers, he not only did not get rid of the stalker, but the tail following him was more, making his situation even more dangerous. From this point of view, he probably didn't know his situation.
"The question is why did he wander in the safe zone from beginning to end and never take a step into the safe zone?" Crow asked himself habitually. This was his favorite way of thinking. "There were times when he was approaching the edge of the green zone, but he turned around and went back. This was not like the behavior that a person who didn't know the road would have."
Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, from the information fed back when the crow was retrieved, the crow still understood the movement trajectory of the mutant. In a few dozen minutes, he ran from one block to another. During this period, he almost ran through half of the safe zone. It is precisely because of this that more and more followers followed. Judging from the attitude of the stalkers, they were divided into at least six camps, which shows how wide the information spread.
"Your purpose is not that simple." The crow squinted his eyes thoughtfully and smiled. In his experience, most of the contradictory behaviors were done on purpose. Unless the mutant is a fool, he would not do so many contradictory things for no reason. "The problem is that the simple strategy of muddying the water and stirring up the struggle to make profits from it. Do you really think you can hide it from everyone? Or do you actually have another purpose?"
"Finally, I found, with, translator, machine, human." The mutant spoke as slowly as ever, and spoke language that the crow couldn't understand. The crow barely heard the other party's pronunciation through the support of source energy. It is said that the translator should not be able to receive such a weak sound wave, otherwise it would be a wiretap. However, the machine still completed the translation easily. It seems that it is about wearing the brain waves that spread out. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the crow understood the other party's problem. "Do you know where is a circular building with a coherent wave shape on the edge?"
The crow knew that he had seen it from the perspective of a pet. It was a very conspicuous building, but he did not intend to go around the building to explore the secrets, because at this moment, he was very sensitive to a key question. Since the other party might have been deliberately muddying the water, why is it impossible that the destination he threw from the beginning was fake?
"Wave circle? Of course I know." Several young men looked at each other, one of them twisted his fingers, "We will take you there ten grams of gold, or equivalent currency."
Hearing this, the crow smiled subtly because he knew that although the building was not too far away, it was located outside the safe green area and belonged to the yellow area.
"Okay, thank you, you guys."
So the crow's smile became meaningful and his figure sank into the shadow again.
