The man raised his hand and took off the hood of his raincoat. He did not hide his appearance because there was no need.
"Since we are two ladies, necessary etiquette is indispensable..."
With a low murmur, he bowed slightly.
"It's a pity that we met in such bad weather and time. I thought our first meeting would be more pleasant, Miss Lu Ning."
"Do you know me?" Lu Ning looked at him warily and slowly backed away.
"You should have heard of me, Peter Charlotte, this is the name I like to use. Moira's agent, although you are not worthy of my personal action, it would be great if you could attract Moira. But that’s it.”
When the man saw Lu Ning retreating, he didn't stop him. He just looked at him with a smile that showed he was in control of the overall situation.
"Are you the manager of greed?"
Lu Ning didn't care what information was exposed to Wei Yin at this moment, and she didn't expect that exploring such a place would lead to the managers of the entire eighth district.
"That's right. Of course competition is allowed between us, so I don't have any ill intentions towards you and me. After all, this meeting can be considered an accident. But Moira... our little princess seems to have some concerns about the competition in the Heavenly Kingdom Council. What misunderstanding caused her to be full of hostility towards each of us."
"You know everything?"
"Why don't I know? Have you met my agent? Can't you get a glimpse of my power from her abilities?"
"Stop talking nonsense to him! Let's go!"
When Lu Ning moved to her side, Wei Yin quickly threw a flash bomb at Peter's feet. At the same time, she pulled Lu Ning around and ran out of the room.
The intense light illuminated the entire room in an instant, but Peter blocked his eyes in advance as if he had known it for a long time.
The light disappeared and the two people ran out of the room.
"Oops... It seems that without a little more pressure, you won't ask Maura for help." Peter was not in a hurry, and walked leisurely towards the door, "There is no point in running away, in my case With the ability to weave, I can catch up with you at any time..."
The moment he stepped out the door, he kicked another trip mine that had been laid out long ago.
The metal cylinder rolled to the ground and made a crisp sound, but it did not explode, and naturally it did not cause any shocking effect.
"Traps and tricks are useless."
Peter glanced at it, but instead of walking towards the stairs, he walked along the corridor towards a corner.
"What's going on with that guy! Is he an esper?"
Lu Ning and Wei Yin climbed out of the window and slid downstairs along the drainage pipe. Wei Yin was still surprised by the other party's appearance along the way.
"He's the administrator."
"Manager? Is he really that? I thought he was bluffing! But why is that guy so oppressive? I thought..."
"careful!"
Lu Ning urgently grabbed Wei Yin to prevent her from being hit by a vehicle that suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Red light? Wait...it was clear that we could pass just now..."
The two of them looked at the rolling traffic in front of them and had no choice but to take a detour. However, before running very far, a fire hydrant not far away suddenly exploded, and the water inside suddenly spurted out, blocking the two of them in the middle of the road.
Lu Ning hurriedly looked back and saw that Peter Charlotte was already walking towards the two of them unhurriedly.
"Let's go around!"
"Don't!"
Wei Yin bypassed the fire hydrant on the road, but at this moment, a cracking sound came from the road, and the tire of a car suddenly burst. The driver failed to grasp the steering wheel properly, and the car tilted and hit Wei Yin's direction. Come over here!
Lu Ning quickly pounced and rolled to the side with Wei Yin in her arms. The high-pressure water flow hit her body like a heavy punch. However, the out-of-control car passing by less than one meter away made people feel the approaching death even more.
Bang - boom!
The car collided with a nearby house, causing an explosion soon after, and screams and cries could be heard for a while. Peter's smile grew wider as he walked past the burning house.
"how……"
"Well……"
Lu Ning reluctantly climbed up, but found that Wei Yin, who was thrown over by her, was a little confused, and there was a fragment of a fire hydrant not far away. She must have accidentally hit her head on it when she rolled over. .
No, it probably wasn't accidental.
Lu Ning raised her head and stared at Peter. This should be the second member of the Heavenly Kingdom Council she had formal contact with, and he was indeed a very difficult figure.
"Everything in the world will lead to various results as time goes by, and the past will lead to all uncertain futures. Because of this, people's lives will be full of unknowns and miracles." Peter said three years away from the two of them. Stand still about 1 meter away.
"Is this your ability?"
"Weaving." Peter nodded, "I can collect the future and infer countless possible and inevitable results of the development of things. I gave this talent to my agent. Although I have mastered greed, I also A very generous person.”
"But..." Lu Ning sneered, "You can not only predict the future."
"Yes, weaving the future is the most critical part of my ability. Have you ever played a game with multiple lines? To me, everyone in this world is just an NPC in the game. Which one should I click on?" The options, and which route the game should follow, are all decided by me, the 'player'." As he spoke, Peter raised his finger and pointed at the top of Lu Ning's head.
This is an old building that has been rented out to many companies as a rental, so there are many old billboards on the roof.
"That sign can't last long and will fall down, right? But how long will it take? If it's not windy or raining, maybe it will be longer, otherwise it will be shorter."
Lu Ning hurriedly dragged Wei Yin to avoid that position.
"But, I have programmed the future where the billboard will fall down soon, and the result is-"
Click.
A gust of wind blew by, and the rusted iron frame was finally overwhelmed. After a soft sound, the entire billboard began to fall downwards.
"Wei Yin! Wake up quickly! We have to leave..."
The billboard almost hit the two of them, and the splashed mud hit Lu Ning's face, and Wei Yin was not spared either. Fortunately, she was awakened from her confusion by the stimulation of cold water.
"Hurry up and call Mo La over. You have no chance. Even fate has to bow at my feet. What can you two little girls with no abilities do?"
Wei Yin nervously pulled Lu Ning's arm and stood up. Although she was smart, she had never seen such a battle.
"Don't panic." Lu Ning wiped the mud on his face, "His ability has two weaknesses."
The steps Peter was about to take stopped.
"I think something is wrong, but I don't know..."
"Even after mastering such a crushing situation, he still deliberately kept a distance from us, so he must have some scruples, and this distance is a safe distance - right? Peter Charlotte!"
Lu Ning shouted the last sentence to Peter.
"So what? Two weaknesses? Why don't you use these two weaknesses to attack if you are so capable?"
"Because the attack will be very ineffective." Lu Ning and Wei Yin continued to retreat, still arguing with Peter, "First of all, your ability can't control people, or the future of living things, right? Otherwise, why are you chasing after them? Just kill them In the future, will it be okay if the two of us collapse in a sudden emergency? And all your attack methods rely on chains triggered by various things, such as traffic lights, fire hydrants, and car tires..."
A flash of surprise flashed across Peter's face.
"The second is also the most fatal problem with your ability." Lu Ning suddenly turned around and turned directly into a narrow alley.
Peter was stunned, and Wei Yin reacted very quickly and ran into the alley after Lu Ning. There was no doubt that Peter's stunned look had confirmed that his first weakness did exist.
"So what? My ability has no distance limit. As long as I can know where you are, fate will not be on your side!"
Peter raised his legs to catch up, but when he turned the corner, he happened to see two fire trucks rushing towards this direction.
Lu Ning and Wei Yin were running forward quickly, seemingly not caring about any accidents.
At this moment, Peter realized the other party's plan.
He could indeed detonate the fire hydrant again, but after what he had just experienced, Lu Ning already knew that this was not a fatal attack. It was no problem to change the color of the traffic light. However, when the fire truck opened the road with the fire alarm on, the traffic on the entire road was giving way. The speed is sluggish, so the two of them can pass through forcefully.
The biggest problem is that this is his own district, and he will never create a traffic accident at an entire intersection just to chase two insignificant characters. But other than accidents, there is no good way to temporarily stop him at an empty intersection. Stopped them.
"But it doesn't matter, I already know your appearance..."
Thinking of this, Peter stopped, suppressed his smile, and finally looked at this "Mora's agent" squarely.
"I have to say that she chose a very smart agent. It's a pity that no one can escape from my 'weaving'. I will keep an eye on you."
Lu Ning and Wei Yin ran through several streets. After making sure that Peter was not chasing them, they stopped to take a breath. Lu Ning had never run like that for a long time, and now she felt like she might be out of breath at any time.
"He, he can, change, the future, ha, ha... Lu Ning, what is the second weakness?"
Wei Yin's condition is not good either, but she can still speak.
Lu Ning rested for a long time before answering her.
"Delay, delay in the future. He is constantly talking to us, but the attacks he launches are a little deflected. So every time he changes the future, he generates a large-scale attack to make up for the lack of accuracy. I judge that he is changing the future. There must be a delay time, similar to three seconds or four seconds before changes can be made in the future.”
"That...is scary enough."
"See? These are the members of the Heavenly Council. Once they target you and prepare to kill you, you have almost no chance. Even if I know these two weaknesses, I can't think of a way to bypass his ability. Wei Yin, although I still want to know more about the city’s history, you should not continue.”
"Don't even think about it."
Wei Yin grinned.
"I've reached this point, and even the real council members have seen it, and you ask me to give up? It's like asking me to go down the mountain when I'm about 100 meters away from the top of the mountain. It's impossible."
"You will die. You study history, don't you know how many people have died because of curiosity?"
"When the truth is revealed in front of me, I will jump into it even if there is a fire pit in front of me!"
"No one has done it. Have you ever wondered why?"
"Then be the first one to do it!"
At this moment, an ordinary car stopped on the roadside next to the two of them. The window slowly rolled down, and Sa Xiu poked his head out of it.
"I'm sorry, that... quarrel?"
"No, just discussing a topic." Wei Yin walked over, and Sa Xiu also opened the car door and walked out, taking out medical equipment to help Wei Yin treat the newly scratched wound.
"What happened to you? Is there really any danger there?"
"There is a guard." Wei Yin watched Sa Xiu clean the wound and apply medicine to bandage it. She couldn't think of any words to defend her at the moment.
"I told you it's very dangerous there, why don't you check it out?"
"Why do you agree with Lu Ning?"
Wei Yin turned her head and glanced at Lu Ning, who could only smile helplessly.
"Because anyone who hears it will feel very unsafe. You were attacked today. Who knows what will happen if I'm not around in the future?"
Sa Xiu knotted and cut the gauze, then looked at Lu Ning: "Are you injured too? Can I help you take care of it?"
"Then please."
Compared to Wei Yin, Lu Ning didn't have any external injuries, but there was a dull pain in the area where the high-pressure water sprayed her body. She didn't know how Peter blew up the fire hydrant, so he probably had internal injuries.
Wei Yin took out the square book from her bag. In such a chaotic situation, she actually secretly took out the book.
"My thesis is almost finished. Whether you support me or not, someone has to do this. It is human nature to avoid danger. I won't blame you."
"I won't avoid it, this is what I have to do." Lu Ning shook her head.
Sa Xiu just smiled, obviously no matter what Wei Yin did, he could only support it.
"Thanks……"
"Thank you for what? There is no need to be polite between us." Sa Xiu had already bandaged Lu Ning as he spoke, and then opened the door of the back seat, "I'll take you home. It's safer this way."
"Don't you have to work at night?" Lu Ning was a little confused.
"You always need to know which is more important, work or family." Sa Xiu gave Wei Yin a gentle look and lowered his voice, "I don't want any accidents to happen before that day comes."
"You haven't..."
"Shhh - I can't help myself, you know."
