Embers Ad Infinitum

On a street near Hearst's apartment, the target of the suspected real "priest" listened to the words played by Gnawa.

He looked at the robot with glowing red eyes for two seconds, then suddenly opened his mouth and shouted:

"Help! Help!"

While shouting, he turned around and tried to run towards the place with the most pedestrians.

He was fast, and Gnava was even faster. He could cover the distance of several meters with one lunge, and directly grabbed his collar with his steel hands.

Amidst the ripping sound of clothes, the man suspected to be the real "priest" was forcefully dragged back.

boom!

Gnava punched the target with just the right force and knocked him unconscious. Under the horrified and panicked eyes of passers-by, he dragged the man into a secluded and deep alley.

At this time, the siren of the fire truck was coming closer and closer, and Gnawa also heard Bai Chen's announcement.

…………

"Hey, I really miss you..."

Next to the mailbox on the street, amid the reverberating music, a man suspected of being a real "priest" saw Shang Jianyao, who was wearing sunglasses and a sunny face.

Shang Jianyao was about to make a move when he suddenly heard Bai Chen's voice coming from the intercom:

"Another suspected target appeared at the back door."

He moved his eyebrows and bowed to the man in front of him:

"Sorry to bother you."

After apologizing, he would turn around and look for another target.

Just when the man suspected of being the real "priest" was stunned for a moment, Shang Jianyao turned around again and said seriously:

"We can't completely rule out your suspicion. We still have to take you back."

The man who was suspected to be the real "priest" suddenly had dark eyes, and while the two parties had eye contact, he started "hypnosis".

Even if there are sunglasses between them, as long as the collision of eyes is completed, he can "hypnotize" the enemy!

Shang Jianyao, who was wearing sunglasses, didn't seem to be affected at all. He took two steps forward, lowered his body, and punched the target's lower abdomen.

The man who seemed to be the real "priest" was surprised, turned sideways, and started to block with both hands.

But at this time, he found that his hands were not working properly.

puff!

He was punched in the abdomen and his whole body folded in half, like a giant shrimp-like creature.

Shang Jianyao took off his sunglasses without haste and punched the target again, knocking him unconscious.

His sunglasses are not simple. There is a piece of photo paper pasted behind each lens, and on the other side of the paper are photos of his left and right eyes.

In other words, the eyes that the man suspected of being a real "priest" saw through his sunglasses were printed photos, while Shang Jianyao looked like a blind man after putting on his sunglasses. He faced the enemy and struck with punches purely relying on his induction of human consciousness.

After knocking the target unconscious, Shang Jianyao, who disguised himself to look more like a Honghe person, carried the man who seemed to be the real "priest" on his back and shouted to the surrounding pedestrians in Honghe dialect:

"What are you looking at! Have you never seen anyone kidnapped?"

It seemed that he had been waiting to shout such words for a long time.

The next second, Shang Jianyao took the "hostage" on his back and ran towards the area where the other target was.

…………

Bai Chen put his eyes behind the scope installed on the "Orange" rifle and concentrated on observing the target wearing a wire hat.

The target's walking posture and physical characteristics are very close to the real "priest" deduced by the "Old Tune Team".

He is a little thinner than the two previous targets.

Seeing that the target was using various obstacles and pedestrians in the back alley to avoid possible snipers and monitors, and quickly walked towards the Gade Building, Bai Chen was distracted and observed the surroundings, but did not find Shang Jian. Yao, Jiang Baimian and Gnawa rushed over.

It's a little too late... As soon as such a thought flashed through Bai Chen's mind, he saw the target suddenly change and go straight to an ordinary building with only eight or nine floors.

He looked like he wanted to get inside, walk through the lobby, and leave through another exit to escape his pursuers or monitors.

Bai Chen did not hesitate, and did not worry that the other party might be an innocent person. He adjusted the muzzle of the gun and aimed at the target's feet.

After a little adaptation, she calmly pulled the trigger.

Almost at the same time, the man who seemed to be the real "priest" seemed to have noticed something and suddenly rushed to the side.

boom!

Where he was about to step, stone fragments flew and a deep bullet hole appeared.

The man who seemed to be the real "priest" rolled over, turned around, and looked at the tall building where Bai Chen was.

On his wrist, a strange ornament that seemed to be woven from black hair then appeared with a burning light.

Bai Chen's eyes suddenly became dark.

At this moment, she lost all her sight and became blind.

What surprised her was that the distance between her and the target was definitely a hundred meters away, far beyond the capabilities of a "Sea of ​​Origin" level awakener.

However, she was affected by what seemed to be the ability of an awakened person.

Does the real "priest" have items from the "soul corridor" on his body, and are they of a larger scope? Without thinking, Bai Chen shrank down and put away the "Orange" rifle to avoid possible attacks.

Nothing happened.

Ten seconds later, a gleam of light came into Bai Chen's dark field of vision.

The light dispelled all the darkness and allowed her to see her surroundings again.

Her eyesight regained, and she regained her sight quickly without the man suspected of being the real "priest" deliberately maintaining the effect.

Without hesitation, Bai Chen stood up again and set the "Orange" rifle to the edge of the rooftop.

With the help of the scope, she looked at the place where the target was just now and found that there was no trace of anyone.

There were several low-rise apartments there, and it was impossible to determine where the man suspected of being the real "priest" had entered.

…………

Alex, who had short hair, obvious dark circles under his eyes, and pretty good features, glanced at the woman next to him and reached out to take the linen shirt she handed him.

The man of the family offered his coat and trousers with equal enthusiasm.

In exchange, Alex gave him his blue string hat and watched him put it on happily.

After quickly changing his clothes and making appropriate disguises, Alex touched a glass bead ring on his left little finger, waved goodbye to the couple, and walked out of the room.

His face was quite gloomy, and he seemed very angry about being in this situation.

Fortunately, the difficulty is about to pass, and he will get it back twice as much.

After watching Alex leave his home, the man wearing a blue hat smiled and said to his wife:

"I picked up a hat when I came back."

His wife responded sadly:

"But a thief came to the house and lost some clothes."

Alex outside the door walked along the aisle and towards the side exit step by step.

There is a small alley leading to the Red Giant Wolf Area at the side exit, and as long as he enters the Red Giant Wolf Area, Alex believes that he will get out of trouble completely based on the flow of people there.

In fact, he doesn't feel that there is much danger now. He is sure that he has gotten rid of all the stalkers and monitors.

The reason why he still maintains a super-standard alertness and mental state is because he can't figure out how he was exposed or how he was targeted.

He always hides himself behind layers of disguises, like the famous matryoshka dolls in the old world, in order to keep himself in an absolutely safe environment.

Before this, apart from having to take action personally and face to face with the target, he had never encountered an enemy locking his position and almost surrounding his true body.

"What exactly is the problem?" For the proud and true "Father" Alex, this was a question that not only severely affected his confidence, but also caused him to lose a lot of his sense of security.

And if we don't figure out the answer to this question, similar things will definitely happen one after another. By then, Alex doesn't think he can get out of trouble again and again.

He is still human and has limits.

After thinking about it, Alex still couldn't figure out where he made a mistake.

He even wondered if the other party happened by chance.

No, it can't be luck. I haven't gone out during this period. The memories of other people have been modified. Even if those people are lucky enough, they can't know that I am in the Alpha Building out of thin air... My specific location, Bu Elder Yong doesn’t even know, I am the only one in control... There must be some detail that was not done well, leaving clues that can be followed... We must investigate clearly as soon as possible and nip the hidden danger in the cradle... Alex is cold on the side I thought, holding the handle of the side door and pulling it open.

He lowered his head slightly and leaned forward into the alley.

For him, the only benefit of what he had just experienced was that the strong stimulation and tense atmosphere made him highly excited, no longer tired, and he regained the absolute clarity he had lost for a long time.

At this moment, he felt a human consciousness standing still in front of him, not knowing what he was doing.

Alex instinctively raised his head and looked there.

His pupils suddenly dilated.

Shang Jianyao, wearing a gray camouflage uniform, stood in the middle of the alley, next to him stood a man with a temperament and features quite similar to Alex's.

After seeing Alex, Shang Jianyao put on a pair of old-world style sunglasses and showed a sunny smile:

"Mr. Father, long time no see."

Further away, in the corner where bullets could not hit, a song came out:

"Hey, I really miss you..."
