The night is getting darker.
At seven o'clock, the orange street lights on the streets lit up, and the number of guards patrolling the streets had increased to four times that in the evening. Pauler ignored Si Lei's objections and temporarily seconded some city guards from nearby cities.
Now, more than four police officers are permanently stationed on every street and alley at the same time, and patrol teams patrol around, ready to respond to all developments on the ground.
However, the residents of Tanyi City are never as obedient as the police station expects. After eight o'clock, young people, drunkards, and old people who feel that they are too bored to stay at home leave their homes one after another. Without exception, they immediately leave their homes. He was captured by the patrol and taken to the temporary detention location tonight.
The initial vigilantes are usually police officers stationed on various streets. Once they detect an abnormality, they will immediately blow the whistle. The whistle is short and long to warn those who defy the curfew that their behavior has been discovered. It is also in Tell your colleagues that I have a situation here, but it is not that serious.
If the curfew violator does not stop when hearing the whistle, or shows a tendency to resist, the police or patrol team can immediately send their location coordinates, and the mercury needle lurking nearby will immediately rush to the scene within a few seconds. Go to the scene.
At one o'clock in the morning, the silver moon hangs low.
There have been at least dozens of cases of residents rushing out tonight - many people have expressed strong indignation about this sudden curfew. In a few days, people here will be affected by Avinash tonight. There is little doubt that there will be new demonstrations to protest against the atrocities.
But will Avinash care? I'm afraid not.
The deeper the night went, the tighter Chiba's nerves became. She noticed some subtle sights - she had no idea where these sights came from, whether they were friends or foes, but at this moment in the old city shrouded in dim moonlight, There is indeed something lurking.
Suddenly, a long and shrill whistle came from the street diagonally behind Chiba. The whistle had no regular length and was just loud and piercing. Two patrol teams that were closer to the whistler quickly moved toward the whistle. He rushed towards the scene, and then Qianye saw a mercury needle leaping from the shadow of the roof. She immediately followed it and headed towards the place of the incident.
There were about a hundred people standing on the not-so-spacious street. Chiba stepped on the balcony of the second floor and arrived at the center of the accident, and then landed next to one of the patrol captains.
"What happened?" Chiba asked.
"A member of another team blew the whistle. He went out to relieve himself. On his way back to the team, he was hit on the head by a photo album. His head was covered with blood..." The patrol leader who had maintained the situation had a calm voice. He showed Chiba The photo album in his hand, "I've looked at it. There are photos of Viscount Rich and Count Schmidt in this photo album. They should have been thrown by the murderer."
"Smashed on the head? Where did the photo album come from?"
"There!" The captain pointed to a dark, half-open window on the second floor not far away. "Our people have already gone up to check. When we came here just now, the photo album fell next to the wounded——"
"Hey!" The window on the second floor was suddenly pushed open, and a mercury needle brought by Avinash appeared there. He was holding an unconscious man in his hand. The man had been stripped of his coat, leaving only There was a white old man's vest inside, and his right arm was cut open with blood. At this time, the blood flow had solidified, "Is this one of yours?"
For a moment, the patrol leader's eyes widened.
After a while, he turned back tremblingly, "No, no... where was the man with blood on his head just now and wearing a patrol uniform?"
Chiba reacted suddenly. She quickly pushed through the crowd and came to the place where the "wounded" had rested. After sniffing the blood on the ground, the strong smell of blood pointed her in two directions: one was from the man holding the mercury needle on the second floor - obviously the murderer not only took away his uniform, but also took away His blood was used as a disguise.
The smell of the other one was weaker. It continued along the road in front of me, then turned sharply and disappeared at the entrance of a residential building.
That should be the direction the murderer left.
Just as Chiba was about to search for the smell, sharp sirens suddenly came from all directions.
The chelate capture radars arranged in every corner of Tan Yi gradually sounded. Their sounds were centered on the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Candle in the center of the old city, like spiraling waves. In an instant, all the mercury needles received the exact coordinates of the murderer - the hunters who had been hiding in different places came out in full force, like a flock of birds in the dark night.
Faced with the sudden change in front of them, the policemen and patrols still on the ground felt a little at a loss. No one told them what was happening at this moment, and no one gave them instructions. People just raised their heads in unison and looked at one after another. A gray-blue light flashed above their heads.
Under the moonlight, Chiba was already standing on the highest roof nearby.
She also saw the shadow that was speeding over the city. Avinash's men were chasing and intercepting him in the air. However, the speed of the shadow was astonishingly fast, far exceeding all the colleagues and pursuers Chiba knew so far. They were all left far behind.
It seemed to be holding a gun in its hand, and it kept shooting towards some roofs and dark alleys, but no one seemed to be really hit - from beginning to end, no one let out a wail of injury.
Chiba is very sure that this is definitely not a speed that any active mercury needle can achieve.
An instinct to fight against the enemy arose in Chiba's heart. At the same time, the chelate radar issued a second alarm to all mercury needles——
"Discover the aberration."
"Those without experience in extremely dangerous combat, please evacuate immediately."
In great shock, all the mercury needles that received the second alarm stopped chasing. They each stayed on a nearby rooftop, breaking out in cold sweat.
What was that thing they were chasing just now?
An aberrant...
The night sky that had been almost boiling suddenly disappeared.
In the absolute silence, a figure once again broke into everyone's sight. Like a silver bullet, she quickly penetrated half of Tan Yi's sky - that was Chiba who showed the "scalpel" Masaki.
She predicted the direction of the aberration's advance and greatly shortened the distance to the enemy in a very short period of time. The aberration also reacted almost immediately. It immediately deviated from the original arc track and followed the path of thousands of enemies. Ye fled in a parallel direction.
Even within the bullet time, many people could only see clearly the "afterimage" of Chiba. At this time, everyone suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a legendary figure in the third area who had a bullet time of more than 70 hours. .
That person always lives in isolation, like a wandering spirit, like wild fire, floating in the wasteland where chelates appear everywhere.
