Actually... is he really Special Search Team?
Cheng Jiashu glanced over quickly, quickly comparing the photo on the ID with the outline of the person in front of him, and his thoughts began to change rapidly.
The man in the raincoat stared at him coldly:
"Please identify yourself immediately, explain the reason for your presence here, and cooperate with the investigation."
The tone was full of majesty and had an accent unique to a public servant.
Cheng Jiashu calmed down, put away his attacking stance, quickly organized his words, and explained:
"I am a social volunteer from Home of Morning Light. I came here to visit the children today."
"Because it was raining so hard, I stayed here temporarily. I just heard an unusual noise. I thought it was a thief sneaking in, so I came out to check the situation."
His explanation sounded reasonable and watertight.
However, the other party obviously did not completely believe it.
The eyes under the brim of the raincoat were sharp and locked on him:
"You are no ordinary volunteer."
"The speed and reaction you just showed are far beyond the scope of normal people. How do you explain this?"
Cheng Jiashu's heart beat suddenly, and he lowered his head slightly to avoid the other party's scrutinizing gaze.
Deep in his eyes, an imperceptible fierce light flashed quietly.
The hands hanging by his sides were quietly clenched into fists.
The power within the body began to stir.
Just when he was ready to solve the trouble in front of him at all costs.
The man named "Zhou Liang" suddenly spoke again:
"You are... the Mysterious Man who passed the information to us Special Search Team, right?"
There seemed to be a hint of realization in his questioning tone.
Hearing this, Cheng Jiashu couldn't help being stunned.
His clenched fists unconsciously unclenched a little.
He raised his head, with a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes:
"How did you guess it? I didn't seem to reveal my identity, right?"
His reaction was both as if he had been told something that was on his mind and a bit of a temptation.
"This is not easy."
Seeing Cheng Jiashu react like this, Zhou Liang snorted softly from his nostrils, and his tone became more determined:
"Noah Organization's Eastern Capital Branch is almost out in force tonight. If it's just to deal with a few ordinary children in this Orphanage, it would be too fussy."
"They must be for some very valuable special target, and just by chance, we Special Search Team got an important piece of information."
"There is a traitor at the top of Noah Organization, codenamed "White Owl". It is said that he has stolen the core secrets of the organization and is currently absconding in Dongdu City."
As he spoke, Zhou Liang paused deliberately and stared at Cheng Jiashu's face:
"You appeared here tonight, acting extremely vigilant, and your skills are far beyond ordinary people. If it's not that White Owl, who is it?"
"Moreover, you have been hiding in this Orphanage before and deliberately passed on Noah Organization's action information to us, just to use our Special Search Team's power to help you get rid of the enemies who are chasing you, right?"
This series of inferences sounds logical and seamless.
Cheng Jiashu remained silent, looking at each other with complicated eyes.
From these words, he captured a lot of key information.
Noah Organization, traitor, White Owl, core secret...
These words were like scattered fragments, quickly spliced together in his mind, trying to restore a vague outline of the truth.
After a moment, he spoke slowly, his voice a little deep.
"I am not White Owl."
"The reason why I stay here is just to protect those innocent children."
Cheng Jiashu denied it, and what he said was indeed the truth.
Just the expression on his face and the seriousness between his brows seemed to indicate some unknown secret identity.
"Haha."
Zhou Liang seemed not surprised by his denial and let out a contemptuous sneer:
"Since you are not White Owl, who took care of those Noah Organization Assassin who sneaked in?"
Hearing this, Cheng Jiashu couldn't help but glance at Storage Room in the distance.
I thought to myself, wasn't it you who killed me?
On the surface, he maintained the strategy of pretending to be stupid and made plans secretly.
Let's use this ambiguous attitude to fool the past and resolve the current identity crisis.
It would be best if you could also turn against the client and extract more useful information from the other party.
Zhou Liang did not continue to struggle with this issue, and then changed the topic:
"In principle, we, Special Search Team, have the obligation to arrest and interrogate any unregistered Esper, as well as those from unknown forces."
"But..."
His tone was slightly Slow Down.
"If Mr. White Owl is willing to show enough sincerity and engage in Deep Cooperation with us Special Search Team to jointly deal with Noah Organization, a cancer that harms society, we are not unreasonable..."
These words are undoubtedly extending an olive branch.
Cheng Jiashu remained silent, seeming to be weighing the pros and cons of the other party's proposal.
At this moment, a chaotic sound came from outside the courtyard wall of Home of Morning Light.
It was the sound of many people stepping on the stagnant water, mixed with the tiny sounds of metal objects colliding.
It sounds like a large number of people are gathering and surrounding Orphanage!
Cheng Jiashu frowned, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
Zhou Liang quickly turned his head and looked out the window at the dark rain curtain.
His eyes flashed slightly and he whispered to himself:
"It seems that Noah Organization can no longer hold back and has started to take action."
Then he turned around, his eyes fell on Cheng Jiashu again, and he spoke quickly:
"Special Search Team The main goal tonight is to catch this gang of criminals who are trying to cause chaos and endanger public safety and bring them to justice."
"I hope Mr. White Owl can think clearly about his situation and choices. Afterwards, you can come to our headquarters at any time to discuss how to completely eliminate Noah Organization, this serious problem."
Listening to the other party's words, Cheng Jiashu's mind was full of thoughts.
If the power of Official Authorities intervenes, then the safety of the children in Orphanage should be protected.
In this situation, it is not suitable for me to force myself to step forward.
Keeping a low profile and avoiding exposing your true identity and abilities is the wisest choice.
He pondered for a moment and responded vaguely.
"I'll consider it."
Zhou Liang looked at him deeply, as if remembering his face.
In the end, without saying anything more, his body flashed and disappeared quickly at the end of the dark corridor like a ghost.
It seems that he should have returned to the team to participate in the next arrest operation.
Cheng Jiashu stood alone, frowning.
Then he quickly walked to the window and looked out carefully.
I saw many figures wearing Black Raincoat and moving quickly, like a tide, climbing over the courtyard wall and heading towards the main building of Orphanage.
These people move professionally and quickly, appearing well-trained and Killing Aura soaring.
Just when Cheng Jiashu clenched his fists and hesitated in his heart.
Bang!
In the distance Street, a clear and sharp gunshot suddenly sounded.
The sound was particularly abrupt in the stormy night.
Immediately afterwards, there were more chaotic Gunfire, exploding one after another like exploding beans.
The dazzling flashlight beams danced wildly in the rainy night, intertwining into a swaying network of light.
You can still vaguely hear someone shouting loudly.
"Don't move, Special Search Team enforces the law!"
"Everyone put down their weapons and surrender immediately!"
The rapid sirens also sounded from far to near, sharply cutting through the night sky.
After a while, the noise outside became louder and louder, and soon it became a mess.
Orphanage The old security guard ran out of the duty room on his feet, looking around blankly.
Apparently he was so frightened by this sudden Unexpected Events that he almost had a heart attack.
Upstairs, the children and staff who had been sleeping soundly were also completely awakened by the loud noise.
Bleary-eyed heads poked out from behind the windows of various rooms, looking in horror at the chaotic scene outside.
Cheng Jiashu quickly returned to the Dormitory area, shouted loudly, calmly comforted the frightened people, and asked them to stay in a safe room and not run around.
At the same time, he was also paying close attention to the battle situation outside.
Judging from the density of Gunfire and the direction of the shouts, the fighting was mainly concentrated around the periphery of Orphanage and near the courtyard wall.
It can be vaguely seen that two groups of forces are fighting fiercely.
One of the parties should be those combatants from Special Search Team.
They are strong and well-equipped, and they seem to have already set up an ambush in the neighborhoods around Orphanage.
At this moment, those Man in Black are being surrounded from multiple directions, waiting for the other party to get out of the hole and fall into the trap.
As for those members of Noah Organization, although they are relatively dominant in numbers, their combat abilities are also extremely powerful.
However, under the fierce attack and siege of Special Search Team, it gradually showed a trend of defeat.
After all, this is the Dongdu City district, the home of the Official Authorities law enforcement agency.
After a period of fierce fighting, those Man in Black seemed to have received the order to retreat and fled in different directions.
The team members of Special Search Team were like hunting dogs with a keen sense of smell, chasing after him.
Gunfire and the shouting of killing gradually spread from the vicinity of Orphanage to farther places.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Jiashu breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, these children of Home of Morning Light are safe for the time being.
But before his eyes, there was still a thick cloud of Mist.
Everything that happened tonight was indescribably weird.
Noah Organization first deliberately followed himself, and then mobilized such a huge manpower to surround this small Orphanage.
If their goal was just to deal with themselves and these defenseless children, this battle would be too big.
Maybe, it's really like what the masked man said.
Noah Organization is arresting a high-level personnel who has mastered their core secrets and defected.
That is, the Mysterious Man who passed a note to himself to remind Danger.
Cheng Jiashu frowned and thought.
Could it be that...
Noah Organization found out that the murder of Home of Morning Light Dean was related to him, and then mistakenly thought that he was an accomplice of "White Owl".
Therefore, they have been following themselves, trying to find clues to the hidden "White Owl" from themselves?
And when the real "White Owl" was hiding in Orphanage, he also discovered something special about himself.
Is that why you use that method to remind yourself to be careful of Noah Organization's revenge?
"If that's the case, then everything makes sense..."
Cheng Jiashu breathed a sigh of relief.
But as soon as my thoughts changed, I felt something was wrong.
That White Owl has not appeared so far.
If Special Search Team doesn't arrive in time tonight, stop Noah Organization's attack.
Didn't he become the innocent scapegoat and be inexplicably involved in this whirlpool?
After thinking about it, Cheng Jiashu felt that during this period of time, it was best for him to hide instead of wading into this muddy water.
Wait and see how the situation changes before making the next decision.
As long as Noah Organization can't find him, Special Search Team will chase after him and cause trouble for them.
In a few days, as long as they are not stupid enough, they will find that they have nothing to do with the so-called "White Owl".
When the time comes, it will naturally stop.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jiashu's mind came back to the "Midnight date" mentioned on Mysterious Note.
He couldn't help but feel strong curiosity and doubt rising in his heart again.
In the end, the desire to explore the unknown truth overwhelmed caution.
He decided to brave the pouring rain and go to the abandoned Lighthouse at Seaside to take a look for himself.
No matter what, he must uncover these layers of Mist and see clearly who is behind all this!
Cheng Jiashu made up his mind and quietly walked to a corner where no one was paying attention while the chaos outside had not completely subsided.
He took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly lit up with a strange light.
Buzz--
A low and strange sound came out of thin air.
The space in front of him suddenly became clearly visible, centered around his right eye.
The air is no longer calm, and the light seems to be concentrated and collapsed towards that point by invisible force Traction.
Impressively, a Dark Vortex is formed that keeps collapsing inward.
The vortex rotated like a living creature, first expanding suddenly, almost sucking in everything around it.
Then it suddenly shrank again, covering Cheng Jiashu with irresistible Gravity.
His figure seemed to be forcibly twisted and pulled by this force, starting from the edge and being drawn into the dark entrance piece by piece, inch by inch.
The next moment, Cheng Jiashu had completely disappeared from the spot, as if it had never appeared.
Only an imperceptible trace of Spatial Fluctuation was left in the air, which was quickly wiped away by the wind, rain and gunfire outside the window.
Deep in the corridor, in a dark corner where light cannot reach.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across, vaguely illuminating the outline of a figure wearing a raincoat.
The figure had no breathing or heartbeat, and showed no sign of life, just like an abandoned cold sculpture.
But at this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the direction where Cheng Jiashu disappeared with bright eyes, and murmured to himself:
"It turns out that your ability is so interesting, no wonder you can stay peacefully surrounded..."
The slightly harsh voice had an inaudible echo in the empty corridor.
The figure slowly raised his hand and gently removed a tiny patch as thin as a cicada's wings from his throat.
That's a precision Voice Changer.
The person who just exchanged information with Cheng Jiashu was the disguised Fang Cheng.
