Building rooftop.
Moonlight Essence is like frost, and neon light shines on Bai Zhou's face.
Bai Zhou, who was sitting on the edge of the rooftop, dangling his legs and making dangerous moves, didn't care at all.
The young man seemed to have finally gotten rid of the burden, his tired face showed a long-lost joy, and his clear eyes were full of energy.
Even if those ferocious pursuers that are suffocating and who don't know when they are going to kill are descending from the sky in the next second, Bai Zhou regains the confidence to face them.
Because I am too weak and powerless, I have to think through everything in advance... This model is still not suitable for Bai Zhou.
Each extraordinary person who walks mysteriously has his own style of doing things. On the road filled with heavy fog, some people take the astrolabe and carefully explore it, while some people go into the darkness and embrace corruption.
And Bai Zhou is the one who, although he is afraid of death, will feel extremely wronged and angry at the moment of life and death, so he picks up the sword and cuts through the fog.
--Waving Purple Gold Saber and going all out [Moon Ember Victory Slash] is his answer!
Special Management Department? Purple Thorn Group There are also unpredictable pursuers?
What is the enemy?
Just cut it open.
This is the answer for Bai Zhou.
"..."
The crow stood aside, the corners of his windbreaker making a rustling sound.
She suddenly felt that Bai Zhou really should find a mirror and see herself now.
At this moment, Willpower's windy hair on Bai Zhou's face is nowhere to be seen as the cautious and insecure young man he was when they first met.
... In Crow's view, even if he sets foot on Extraordinary Path, there is no essential difference between extraordinary people and Ordinary people.
Only the strength of the mind is truly powerful.
If you want to become extraordinary, you must first create the extraordinary heart of an extraordinary person.
Bai Zhou, I have really grown up...
The speed of his growth always surprises Crow.
It seems that Bai Zhou grows a little bigger every night, growing from a seed to a sapling in the blink of an eye, and now it is now under shade.
Maybe as long as Crow reminds Bai Zhou now, Bai Zhou will realize that his present is different from what he used to be, and then he will put his hands on his hips proudly for a while.
... but crows don't say that.
I want her to praise Bai Zhou's progress from the bottom of her heart--
The current Bai Zhou is still far behind!
"Crow, look at the sky."
Suddenly, the voice of Bai Zhou reached Crow's ears.
"What's wrong?"
Crow raised his head and looked toward the sky in the direction of Bai Zhou's finger.
There are few clouds tonight.
The deep night sky is filled with bright stars, and the stars are taking shape in their respective areas, which is so beautiful.
And among the twinkling stars, there is a "star" that is moving slowly and blooming soft spots of light from time to time.
"What is that?" Bai Zhou pointed at it and blinked.
"That's... a plane."
Crow answered without thinking.
The lights on the aircraft flying over thousands of meters in the air flicker from time to time, and when they fall on the ground, they become "moving stars" in the sight of people on the ground.
In modern times, this is a very common landscape.
"Plane?" Bai Zhou, of course, had never seen this thing before, looking at the "star" thoughtfully.
"Well, something similar to a car, but it can fly in the sky."
Crow nodded and answered patiently:
"Like the cars you saw in the Special Management Department, they are all products of modern industry."
"Of course, Extraordinary people also play a very important role in this."
"Whether it is Tao Chengdao, who is known as "Wanhu", or Wright Brothers, who invented the airplane, they are both members of "us"."
Crow raised his hand and caught a wisp of wind in his hand.
The wind swirled around the slender fingertips, and the small vortex almost had a translucent entity.
"Eastern Federation's predecessor as an Beyonder, Tao Chengdao, sacrificed his body, and the last bit of Spiritual Light escaped into the atmosphere, where he saw the remains of Wind Serpent and signed a contract with him."
"At this point, humans have the qualifications to travel in the stratosphere."
"Then, with the help of the appropriate Ritual, Western Federation's Wright Brothers used wood, cloth and a simple gasoline engine to knock out a strange bird, named it an airplane, and announced mankind's initial conquest of the sky."
"Da Vinci's manuscript conjectures, Montgolfier Brothers's hot-air balloon experiment, and the crashed Hindenburg Airship... Generation after generation of predecessors have succeeded."
"In the realm of the sky, whether extraordinary people or Ordinary people, there is no shortage of prophets who have been martyred for exploring unknown boundaries."
"In the manuscript left by the famous extraordinary man Leonardo da Vinci, there is such a thought-provoking sentence-"
"We never invented flight, we just redeemed it bit by bit... redeeming our long-lost right to soar across the stars."
After thinking about it, Crow added very seriously:
"Theoretically..."
"If you make a bigger fuss and alert the top brass of Authorities, helicopters with cannons will come looking for you."
That's terrible.
The slightly cold evening breeze blew by, and Bai Zhou, who was sitting on the edge of the rooftop, shivered.
Then, he raised his head again.
The higher you go, the stronger the wind becomes, and the wind on the rooftop is really quite strong.
The howling wind passed through the sky, as if even the stars in the sky were shaking down.
This moving star looks very eye-catching in the quiet night sky, like an alien visiting Blue Star.
"Amazing human beings."
In the end, Bai Zhou commented like this.
It is not a visit from aliens, but a masterpiece of humanity on this planet beneath our feet.
Just like Bai Zhou is sitting on the rooftop right now, he can't help but think of the image of free falling over obstacles... People envy the wings of birds and have never stopped fantasizing about flying.
I want to feel the feeling of "the sound of wind in my ears after flying up", I want to break away from all constraints and achieve romantic detachment...
Angels with wings, and Witch flying high into the sky on a broomstick, these mythical images all entrust the yearning of mankind.
Even Bai Zhou himself, the first thought when he set foot on Extraordinary Path was when he would be able to fly.
Want to fly high--
I don't know why, this is a desire that is engraved in the deepest part of human genes, but it is something that cannot be achieved!
But in this civilization of Blue Star, human beings have used their intelligence and wisdom to fly so high into the sky with the help of tools, that they can stand shoulder to shoulder with the stars--
Amazing!
As Crow said, the so-called flight is simply a silent and magnificent Ritual miracle that lasted for centuries!
And, this miracle continues to this day.
But...
"Why does the plane fly so high but never hit the stars?" Bai Zhou asked.
"..."
Faced with Bai Zhou's serious question, Ya was speechless for a moment.
That's a good question, don't ask it next time.
Anyone who has received twelve years of compulsory education cannot ask this question.
But for Bai Zhou, it was really difficult to explain to him.
After thinking for a while, Ya decided to give up a long list of explanations about the universe, atmosphere, and gas dynamics.
--Mainly because she doesn't understand that much herself.
So, Crow raised his face and replied simply and forcefully:
"Because..."
"The stars will shine!"
Will the stars twinkle?
"Is that so?" Bai Zhou was a little surprised, but felt that the answer was unexpectedly impeccable.
"Well..."
Seeing Bai Zhou's thoughtful look, Yao looked away and stopped looking at Bai Zhou.
My face feels a little hot.
But in short, let's get over the endless questions Bai Zhou asked.
Retract the preface of Bai Zhou has grown up.
Although Bai Zhou is already an extraordinary person who is not weak, but in terms of common sense...
Crow has decided.
--Purchase <100,000 Whys> without delay!
However.
Suddenly, Bai Zhou suddenly frowned and looked at Crow:
"... Wrong!"
Crow panicked. "What's wrong?"
Bai Zhou's expression became serious:
"You just said that Major Luo has a high probability of taking [Moon God's Tear]..."
"So I thought back to what extraordinary materials Major had bought at Auction House, thinking that maybe I could gain something from them."
It turned out to be about Major.
Crow quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Bai Zhou with a cold face, frowning slightly:
"Then what?"
"Then it suddenly occurred to me that Major bought [Midnight Compass] at a high price at the auction!"
"[Midnight Compass]?"
"Yes, as long as you have the target's name and birthdate, you can break through Ritual's blockage and accurately locate the target's location at 23:00 every night."
Bai Zhou recalled everything that happened at the auction and said in a solemn voice:
"If there is no birthday and horoscope, you can barely substitute it with relevant information such as photos."
"--Now it seems that there is no doubt that this is for me!"
If that Auctioneer 2 is really Major...
Bai Zhou Can't think of a reason why Major bought this thing and didn't use it for him.
Fortunately, I already know the identity of Major and saw him take the photo of this item with my own eyes.
Otherwise, once someone knows the location, an ambush will be laid in advance...
Bai Zhou A chill ran down my spine.
But after hearing this, Crow had a different view:
"It seems that I have temporarily lost your trace, and Major is also very anxious."
"But in my opinion, that's not necessarily a bad thing!"
"If you didn't know this, this Compass would be enough to kill you a hundred times... but you knew it, and Major just didn't know that you knew."
Crow narrowed his eyes and slowly opened his brows:
"--In this way, the enemy is exposed and we are hidden, and the initiative is in our hands."
"Isn't it the position at 23:00 every night?"
The wind blew Crow's collar, and her twinkling eyes brought a slight smile:
"As long as he has this information in advance, where will he be positioned..."
"Isn't it all us who have the final say?"
Bai Zhou's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what Crow meant:
"At this time, we cannot let him know that we already know the existence of Compass."
"You can even arrange some new surprises for him based on this!"
The so-called positioning is nothing more than the provision of information.
But at this time, whoever takes the initiative in intelligence will have everything.
There shouldn't be too many examples of this in books.
Bai Zhou Just by turning his mind, he has already thought of many ways to "surprise".
--Of course, the simplest and most useful among them.
It is the explosion that Bai Zhou is most familiar with.
Bai Zhou cannot prevent Major from using Compass, but it is hard to say what Major learned by using Compass.
Although it sounds a bit dreamy...
But he actually quite hoped that Major could personally lead the team to hunt him down.
"As expected of you, Crow!"
Bai Zhou sincerely praises:
"--You are simply an extremely skilled super villain!"
Crow: "..."
Bai Zhou is curious again.
Crow can't even be said to be proficient in things like "being wanted" and "counter-pursuit"...
Rather, it is something that is engraved in one's bones.
There is a sense of calmness that if you rob a bank with your front foot, you will go to the opposite side of the bank to drink a bowl of noodles before leaving.
--Without ten years of experience in the evil party, you cannot develop this skill!
"Gu... Gu Gu..."
I put down my burden for the time being, and just as Bai Zhou was about to get up from the rooftop, my stomach suddenly made a "gurgling" sound.
The crow looked sideways at him.
"I'm hungry."
Bai Zhou coughed sheepishly,
"Want to have breakfast."
Crow understands completely.
After all, after struggling for so long, all the energy should be exhausted.
Even if it is a donkey, it should be given some food after pulling a mill for a long time, let alone a young man in the developmental stage who is experiencing crises one after another...
"But, it's three o'clock in the morning."
Crow shook his head regretfully.
Even the most diligent breakfast shop will barely open until four o'clock.
At this time, if you stand on the rooftop and look down, you can see at a glance the closed doors of Tinghai City Qianjia Wanhu.
There is no breakfast and there is a closed door.
Even if Bai Zhou has no common sense, he knows that this time is not the time for breakfast.
"It's okay, then Wait."
Bai Zhou rubbed his belly, shook his head and said:
"I want to try Tinghai's xiaolongbao later in the morning."
After breakfast...
You should go to that Yuanmeng Middle School to investigate, and you still don't know what the moth might be.
But this is not over yet.
At night, he had to prepare in advance to deal with Major's troops...
Just thinking about it makes my head feel big.
But these are all things after dawn.
Before dawn, Bai Zhou just wanted to empty his mind and take a rest.
At least, everything today is much better than yesterday's despair.
One day gets better than the other.
It will always get better.
Bai Zhou was thinking optimistically.
Then, he began to concentrate on thinking about what the first basket of fresh meat dumplings coming out of the oven at the breakfast stall would taste like, as well as the first pot of steaming spoonfuls of Xiaomi porridge.
Think about it.
Greedy.
I'm even hungrier.
Bai Zhou sat down on the edge of the rooftop again, with his legs raised in the air, dangling.
He raised his right hand with the crescent moon mark, held his cheek, and closed his eyes.
Breathing becomes more steady and shallow.
The shadow of the building was tall and big, but the shadow of the boy was small, and he fell asleep like this.
Wait until dawn.
"Da..."
A very light sound.
Crow put the tattered cloak that Bai Zhou had just taken off on Bai Zhou's shoulders.
Suddenly.
Bai Zhou's body shook twice, causing Ya Qian's touching movements to freeze.
"?"
"Huh..."
The strong wind blowing from the top of the rooftop blew up the corner of the cloak.
And the figure of Crow facing Bai Zhou, bent over, was on the eye-catching edge of the rooftop, motionless against the howling wind.
The picture seemed frozen and the air seemed frozen.
... Fortunately, Bai Zhou did not wake up.
I didn't see Crow putting a cloak on himself.
This made Miss Ya finally breathe a sigh of relief and slowly stood up.
"..."
Pushing the strands of hair around her face behind her ears, Miss Ya's face returned to a cold expression.
One person sat and fell asleep.
A man stood aside, wearing a windbreaker.
The two of them stayed quietly at the edge of the rooftop, their figures elongated by the gentle moonlight.
Stretch, stretch...
Then, the figures of the two people were stretched and distorted by the moonlight...
Shoulders are close to each other.
--Fortunately, Miss Ya didn't turn around to see this scene.
Otherwise, someone might draw his sword and slash the moon again and chop this Absurd Moonlight into pieces.
The other side.
Branch 36 Base.
Major finally dealt with the damn Headquarters Inspection Team and temporarily settled in the luxurious guest room at the base.
"Food, drink, and food will be provided with all your strength. Give whatever you want. Don't think of ways to give it away. As long as you are willing to accept it, it will be easy."
In Meeting Room, Major ordered several officers:
"Especially that Gem Witch--"
"I heard that she would have to spend some gems to make a move. She is probably of extraordinary family background and generous. Money and worldly things may not be able to move her heart."
"So forget about money, you have to find a way to find out her preferences and then prescribe the right medicine."
"... But the only thing is that we can't let them do their business!"
Major's voice pauses here.
He lowered his eyes and looked around at everyone, and whispered sternly:
"Regarding the case of Bai Zhou, we must not leave it to them. You must delay it as long as possible."
"--I will solve the problem of Bai Zhou as soon as possible during this period!"
Some of the officers were hesitant to say, saying that there is still no movement there after so long Bai Zhou, and your mental state seems to be a bit wrong... Is there really no problem with these arrangements?
But looking at Major's eyes that turned red for no apparent reason, every officer felt a chill in their hearts and stopped saying a word.
In the end, they just stood up with a "pop" sound, saluted and replied:
"Yes! Major!"
Major returns to the office.
Two people in strange clothes were already waiting here.
"Officer Luo."
Seeing Major come in, they bowed slightly to Major.
A man and a woman, dressed in extremely distinctive styles, they are definitely non-mainstream that turn heads when walking on the street.
Everyone has Painted Mask on their face, and their whole body is covered with various bright colors...
There is no doubt that they are all Painter from [Art Club].
Among them, the woman with a curvy figure is the new number one Painter after the death of [Monk].
The other one is, of course, the new second one after [Monk]'s death.
Originally, including [Edward Monk], the three of them were the people sent by Art Club to hunt down Bai Zhou.
But no one could have imagined that before Bai Zhou was seen, the most powerful one was gone first...
"I'm very sorry about [Monk]."
Major was not surprised by their arrival and nodded towards them.
Just mentioning [Monk], his expression was a little unnatural:
"The money has been transferred to the previous card."
"You can verify it."
Hearing this, "Female Painter" waved her hands repeatedly and whispered:
"No need, of course we trust your credibility."
"Let [Monk]'s matter be revealed—"
"I heard that you have a way to find Bai Zhou tonight. That's actually why we came here."
"Bai Zhou..."
Major's gloomy expression seemed a little strange, but in the end he just shook his head.
"Yes, Bai Zhou..."
Before today, his must-kill target was Bai Zhou, that's right.
But after today, the person he most wanted to skin and strip has become the unknown No. 22 Auctioneer.
Unfortunately, he knew nothing about that person, so [Midnight Compass] could only help him find Bai Zhou.
...Bai Zhou Just Bai Zhou.
"As for tonight's operation, I have prepared some helpers for you."
The words Major made the two "Painter" a little stunned.
Then, I heard Major snap twice and clapped his hands.
The sound of clapping sounded particularly clear in the quiet office,
The next moment--
"Ka! Ka!"
The sound of machine amplifier operation sounded.
Major The bookshelf behind him automatically flips over.
It was as if the curtain opened, revealing a deep Secret Passage.
The long Secret Passage is filled with deep darkness.
Then, one pair, two pairs, ten pairs, dozens of pairs... the densely packed orangutan Red Light dots suddenly lit up in the thick darkness.
Those are human eyes.
But more like a beast.
Cold, pure and emotionless.
With the faint light cast in the office, "Painter" could barely see the scene inside clearly, and even their hearts stopped.
--Because these figures are densely attached to the top of Secret Passage and the walls on both sides.
Everyone's whole body is wrapped in tight black cloth, like a "ninja" or a "samurai", blending Perfect into the darkness.
They are like "bats", clinging to everything without any weight.
"They are..."
The two "Painter" subconsciously held their breath.
Even though they pride themselves on being extraordinary, they have never seen such a "person".
The most important thing is that they feel a fatal threat from these "people".
No one would have thought that Major would hide so many "Ghostly Things" in his office.
"They are the helpers I have prepared for you."
Looking at these "people" who had been hiding in Secret Passage's office for who knows how long, Major's gloomy expression finally felt relieved.
As Major opened his mouth, the pair of eyes in Secret Passage seemed to have received some kind of signal, and all Focused glanced at Major, as if they were waiting for Major's instructions.
They were silent, silent, and an inhuman sense of oppression arose spontaneously.
They don't look like living people, but more like a group of sophisticated and cold killing machines.
"Almost no one knows they exist."
"... Ignorant of pain, absolutely obedient, the most powerful "biological weapon" I personally designed!"
Looking at them, Major's voice gradually became calmer, and his chest slowly rose.
His mood improved a lot, and he finally found his pride in these creatures:
"Each one is an extraordinary masterpiece that incorporates some of the characteristics of [Black Box] and undergoes biological modification."
"It has its own pollution, adapts to all environments, and can be called an infinitely enhanced version of the [Sword Bearer] tactical team."
As he spoke, Major slowly turned his head, and the shadow in Secret Passage enveloped half of his body.
A pair of scarlet eyes shined just behind Major, like a peacock spreading its tail.
This overwhelming sense of oppression even made the two "Painter" standing at the top of Level 4 feel as if their blood had frozen, and they subconsciously held their breath.
"I call these masterpieces..."
Major whispered, slowly sounding out each word in their ears:
"--[Black Warrior]!"
