Beneath the darkening sky, 027 glanced at Lu Heng with those colorful, dazzling eyes, and then turned to leave.
"Stop!"
Derek Wolf bellowed and chased after, rapidly transforming into a werewolf mid-run, his muscles bulging, his form growing larger.
Once fully transford, he ran on all fours, his speed incredibly fast.
However, four legs are definitely no match for instantaneous teleportation.
Even Lu Heng wasn't sure he could catch up to 027, let alone this werewolf.
Stepping out of the car, Lu Heng stood on the sidewalk, he watched 027's departing figure for a mont, then turned back to look at the Black Crow in front of the nursing ho, number 013.
Black Crow number 013 hadn't joined Derek Wolf in the pursuit of 027, as he clearly had a better chance of catching 027 than the werewolf.
After watching 027 vanish at the end of the street, the Black Crow number 013 turned, spread his wings, and flew into the nursing ho.
Lu Heng guessed what he was about to do; he was definitely going after Liu Lanying, and after a mont's thought, he stepped forward to follow.
With a powerful leap, Black Crow number 013 entered room 203 of building 3 in the nursing ho.
Lu Heng followed closely, running to the doorway to take a look inside.
The room was empty, the bedding was tossed aside.
Black Crow number 013 reached out to touch the bedding, saying, "It's still warm. The person didn't go far, search!"
With those words, he transford into a black crow and flew out of the room.
Lu Heng pressed the communicator on his ear, and asked, "Did you see anyone when you arrived?"
"Chongming Bird surveyed the nursing ho ten minutes ahead of ti and didn't detect anyone leaving," Su Muyu replied over the comms channel.
They had co by car, whereas Chongming Bird, who used the "Flowing Light Shuttle" skill, was quick and had begun his surveillance of the nursing ho beforehand.
At this mont,
Due to the commotion on the second floor, the on-duty security personnel took the elevator up with flashlights in hand.
Lu Heng moved swiftly into the stairwell, he began to search each floor, saying, "Let's find the person first. If 027 doesn't have the ability to teleport with soone, then they should not have left the nursing ho."
The power of space movent was already rare, and even more so with teleporting soone else.
During space movent, one must endure the imnse stress of spatial changes, sothing ordinary people could not withstand.
Therefore, Lu Heng concluded that 027 probably lacked the ability to teleport others.
Of course, there was another possibility.
Perhaps Liu Lanying was taken away by soone other than 027.
If soone else had taken Liu Lanying, then the situation was even more complicated,
but he couldn't entertain that notion for the mont.
Even if soone else had taken Liu Lanying, they must be 027's accomplice.
Otherwise, 027 would not have shown up.
027's appearance was obviously ant to divert Derek Wolf.
From his actions, it seed he wanted to lure away Black Crow number 013 as well.
However, the latter did not give chase and instead, turned towards the nursing ho.
Since 027 had appeared, it suggested a close connection with Chen Xuesong and his wife.
He was clearly there to rescue Liu Lanying, probably fearing the Creator Organization would harm her.
For Liu Lanying's sake, he was willing to risk exposure, not an average student's deed.
Moreover, Lu Heng had already investigated the graduate students under Chen Xuesong and there was no 027 among them.
This was not difficult to determine; with 027's strength, he must be a Superpower User of very high level.
Thus, those students were easily ruled out at a glance.
Similarly, 027 was not one of Chen Xuesong's relatives. The list of relatives was part of the data, and that had been checked too.
Neither Chen Xuesong's contemporaries nor his nephews and nieces included a top-tier Superpower User.
If 027 belonged to neither Chen Xuesong's students nor relatives, then who could 027 be?
...
Two minutes later, Su Muyu's voice sounded again: "I've checked the entire nursing ho and haven't found Liu Lanying."
In the task of locating people, Lu Heng was undoubtedly inferior to Su Muyu. Before he could even complete one floor, Su Muyu had already combed through the entire nursing ho.
After a thorough search of the nursing ho, Liu Lanying was nowhere to be found.
Yet, Liu Lanying's bedding was still warm, indicating she hadn't been gone long.
Chongming Bird had arrived ten minutes early, and throughout those ten minutes, no one had left the nursing ho.
That left only one possibility, 027 had the ability to teleport with another person.
But could such a power really surface at this ti?
Lu Heng felt the odds were too slim. Could there be another possibility?
With that thought, Lu Heng's mind suddenly flashed with insight, and he asked, "Did you check Liu Lanying's room?"
"No," Su Muyu replied, a hint of surprise in his tone.
Lu Heng imdiately turned and gazed towards room 203, activating his Third Transition Source Material Ability "Void Flash," crossing 30 ters instantly to appear inside room 203.
The mont he appeared, he saw soone ready to leave with Liu Lanying on their back.
This person was cloaked, with a hood covering their head, looking almost identical to 027.
As they were bending down to carry Liu Lanying, their body was stooped, hiding their face from view.
In the instant Lu Heng appeared, the cloaked figure froze but didn't imdiately make a move to attack.
"I want to see just who you are," Lu Heng said as he reached out to take off the person's hood.
His hand was halfway there when the cloaked figure suddenly grabbed Lu Heng's arm, spoke in a heavy voice, "rcy begets rcy."
Lu Heng's hand paused, recognizing the other was rescuing soone, and furthermore, it was a pitiable old person suffering from Alzheir's Disease.
Deep down, Lu Heng found it difficult to press on.
"Even if I should show rcy, I need to know whom I am showing it to," Lu Heng exerted strength in his arm, matching the other's force.
Neither dared to use their skills, as any small repercussion from a fight could be fatal for the frail old person beside them.
