There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game Chapter 325
Chapter 325: Chapter 296 Purpose Chapter 325: Chapter 296 Purpose “Where is Senior Yin?” Xu Shuo changed the subject.
As he spoke, he looked outside the window.
The flas had spread to the high skies, the light outside tinged with a fiery red as the thick clouds in the sky began to churn.
Yin Banqian, who was being chased by five people outside, had not turned red-nad yet, however, two days ago, Xu Shuo had caught a glimpse of the raging storm on Academy Island reappearing.
The fierce wind took over the heavens for miles around, sending the inextinguishable flas roaring upwards, reflecting off the grey sky in a deep red, like a mantle of faint smoke and twilight haze, floating, sinking.
People not far away looked up at the sky in confusion, thinking the long-absent sun had reappeared, only to be followed by the ravaging tornado storm!
The gale was so violent that dark clouds began to gather from afar, accompanied by the faint rumbling of thunder and flashes of lightning.
...
The digital signage along the aerial highway was destroyed, and billboards from the tops of tall buildings fractured and fell, as the raging wind tore through the vehicles on the road, sending pieces of machinery fluttering in the air.
The walls of the high-rise buildings rattled loudly, with debris striking the glass and spreading cracks all over.
The electronic advertisent that had been displaying a beautiful female star was abruptly interrupted when a rolling car crashed into the building, causing the brilliant lighting and colors to flicker intermittently, twisting and distorting.
Then, with a crack, it stopped working.
Cheng Can stared at the scene outside, dumbfounded, “Is this the arrival of Storm Woman?!”
He knew one of Yin Banqian’s New Human powers was “Storm,” but he hadn’t thought much of it at the ti, and the first ti the other party harnessed the power after entering the script, the wind in the sky was only slightly stronger.
Now, just two days later, had Yin Banqian already mastered his power so thoroughly?!
No wonder at the beginning, the head of the New An Bureau had only dispatched “Delta” alone to execute the mission in enemy territory, probably confident in the adversary’s power and not worried at all!
Cheng Can felt a deep envy.
His power to pass through walls had no real lethality, hence the enemy rely sent a non-mainstream agent who could manipulate gravity to deal with him, not counting the one who had hit the wall.
Look, five people are chasing Delta.
Xu Shuo gazed at the scene outside, his expression still calm, his dark pupils reflecting the flas that soared to the sky.
“The opponent is aware of your abilities, so they have also devised counterasures against Senior Yin’s powers,” he said, looking at the storm and the burning, churning fire tornado climbing upward.
The wind fueled the fire, the unquenchable flas entwining with the tornado and burning wildly in the thick dust and sand, lting everything in their path.
The high-rise they had landed on was the first to be swallowed by the flas; by now, the layer of chanical tal outside had lted, and the walls were extrely hot.
In the upper right corner of the team panel, Yin Banqian’s distance fluctuated, near and far, possibly restrained by soone.
Or maybe he was concerned about Cheng Can nearby.
After all, if he didn’t want to engage in battle, he should have ways to escape.
He was the one who had fought his way out of enemy territory and, despite his severe injuries, managed to run dozens of kiloters!
—That achievent would never grow old.
But if he left, these people would surely turn to encircle Cheng Can.
Seeing this, Xu Shuo said, “How about I take you away from here first, and then I’ll go look for Senior Yin?”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Can hesitated a little, “This place is over three hundred kiloters away from Academy Island, can you handle going back and forth twice?”
Last ti, when he took the four of them to the New An Bureau headquarters, the journey of over two hundred kiloters had pushed him to his limit, and after returning them to the bar, he reportedly went straight to sleep for an entire afternoon.
Therefore, he was quite concerned about his junior’s condition.
Xu Shuo looked at him, trying to maintain a normal expression, “I can first take you fifty kiloters away, right?
From that distance, you should be able to make your own way out, right?”
Cheng Can: “…”
While soone was still stunned, Xu Shuo had already opened Micro-end and manually searched for a building scene fifty kiloters away.
Then he placed his hand on Cheng Can’s shoulder, and before the latter could react, the view in front of them changed in an instant!
This was a corner of a residential area’s square, the sky dim and overcast, but the furious storm had evidently already affected this area, with the thick dark clouds rolling in the distance.
Cheng Can staggered a bit but steadied himself.
“Wait!”
After he ca to his senses, he hurried to check on Xu Shuo beside him, but as soon as Xu Shuo released him, his figure blurred and disappeared again.
Cheng Can’s hand hung suspended in mid-air.
A mont later, he tugged at his awkwardly twitching facial skin, looking around guiltily, and took back his Character Card status.
During battle, his mind couldn’t be clearer, yet now, he hadn’t even considered such a simple issue!
Embarrassing…
way too embarrassing!
Cheng Can bit his teeth and turned to walk into the residential district.
…
When Xu Shuo returned to the battlefield, he didn’t go back to that building he was at before.
He got a bit closer to Yin Banqian.
[Yin Banqian]3.2km.
It was almost like being in an ocean of fire.
If the other side had taken the ti during the fierce battle to check the team list, they should have been able to discern from the recent change in the distance between him and Cheng Can—He was specifically there to pick soone up!
As for the second aning: Cheng Can is safe, brother, stop fighting and just run!
But Xu Shuo waited for a while, and the distance to Yin Banqian hadn’t changed much.
Four tornadoes connected the sky to the ground, moving and wreaking havoc between buildings that soared into the clouds, one of them entwined and coiled with flas, burning fiercely.
The flas they scattered licked the high-rise plazas, reflecting the multicolored city lights, as if the place was suffused with neon-like rosy clouds.
The temperature was very high.
Xu Shuo, wearing a black hooded jacket, didn’t use his abilities to shield himself from the high heat, and sweat continually seeped out from his forehead.
He hid in a corner, poking his head out to survey the situation from afar.
There were only four people there.
Yin Banqian was nowhere to be found, but those four people were forming a subtle encirclent, locking down a certain range within the furiously howling storm.
One of them released a large swath of flas, while the person next to him seed to be motionless.
The other two were moving through the storm, apparently chasing sothing.
Xu Shuo stroked his chin, mulling over his thoughts.
Based on the intelligence Wei Ya had shared in the chat room just now, a total of seven people had co to ambush Cheng Can and Yin Banqian, two of whom had just been pursuing Cheng Can in the building, with one already dead.
The muscle-bound one hadn’t joined the others here; he might be slacking off sowhere.
Regardless, there should still be five people here, but, there were two people in the blockade, two in pursuit—where did the fifth person go?
What’s more important is that they hadn’t yet found out the purpose of this group’s operation.
If it was just for a new mber, it really wasn’t necessary.
Could it be they were simply planning to reduce the New An Bureau’s strength and then make a run for it?
But the people who ca to ambush were too few…
The ones chasing Cheng Can were even fewer and quite ordinary; even if Cheng Can’s abilities were not outstanding, he was still a New An Bureau mber with a code na.
As a result, Cheng Can still had ti to send a distress signal to them.
No matter how you looked at it, this ambush was strange.
Apart from having tracked down the two in advance and arranged an ambush, everything else was full of loopholes!
So, rather than saying they wanted to achieve so sort of objective, it seed more like the Paradise Bird were just bored and looking to pick a fight with the New An Bureau.
Thinking carefully… that actually seed quite in line with their modus operandi?
Xu Shuo shook his head, opened the Micro-end, and sent a ssage in the chat room, and then his figure flashed again, getting even closer to the center of the battle.
By the ti he got here, Xu Shuo’s gaze flickered slightly.
[Yin Banqian]1km.
[Yin Banqian]0.9km.
[Yin Banqian]1.2km.
No wonder… Yin Banqian was lingering within this range.
In the Paradise Bird’s team, there was surprisingly soone with a space-blocking ability!
In the air whipped up by the howling wind, energy information molecules spilled out.
Xu Shuo couldn’t quite describe the feeling, but the mont he sensed these energies, so corresponding cognitions automatically erged in his mind.
This was thanks to the “mory Storage.”
Storm, fla, barrier, energy burst…
Besides those, there seed to be an ability similar to his own—
Mind Reading!
