Uehara Ryo was speechless by Xu Cheng's question, but he quickly reacted and said angrily: "You disappeared suddenly, how could we keep up with you?"
Xu Cheng shrugged and spread his hands: "Then it's a matter of your ability. Why should you blame me if you can't keep up? Don't think I'm still a high school student who's easy to bully, so just throw your adult problems on me."
You are still pretending to be young. How can you be such a perverted high school student? Who knows if you were drugged by the man in black to become smaller?
Uehara Ryo was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead.
But he still kept his sense and knew that he was not here to quarrel with Xu Cheng. He was thankful that he could wait until this guy came back.
And what makes Uehara Ryo breath a sigh of relief is that Xu Cheng did not cause trouble elsewhere in the two days when he disappeared, so Uehara Ryo's judgment on him was not wrong and he does not need to bear any responsibility.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, rubbed his forehead with his hands, and softened his tone: "How did you disappear?"
This was his biggest doubt in the past two days, and he even began to wonder if Xu Cheng had awakened his second ability.
Xu Cheng smiled slightly: "This involves my abilities, so I can't tell you."
Uehara was slightly shocked in his conscience, had he really awakened his second ability?
Seeing Xu Cheng's tough talk, he didn't want to force it, lest it stalemate the relationship between the two parties.
After two consecutive days and nights without rest, as soon as his anger subsided, Uehara Ryo immediately felt that his eyelids were heavy and he was about to fall asleep.
He said tiredly: "I don't object to you going out to relax. I just hope you can inform us in advance and don't make it difficult for us. When the surveillance on you is over, you can go wherever you like."
Xu Cheng agreed casually, and was about to close the door, but was stopped by Uehara Ryo: "Wait, I'll live with you tonight, just sleep on the sofa..."
"Get out of here, even if you sleep under the bed."
Xu Cheng sternly rejected Uehara Ryo's delusion. It was hard to tell whether this guy was an enemy. How could he be allowed to live there?
Uehara Ryo had no choice but to let Xu Cheng close the door, thinking that since he was willing to come back on his own initiative, he should stop irritating him.
After leaving the hotel and going downstairs, Uehara Ryo called the Countermeasures Department and asked the Countermeasures Department to arrange for someone to be on duty to monitor Xu Cheng.
Although the manpower arranged has proven that they can't stand Xu Cheng, the gesture is still necessary.
After making the call, Uehara Ryo cheered up and prepared to return to the special response force and tell the commander about the incident.
It is very possible that Xu Cheng has awakened a second ability that can avoid surveillance. This matter must be reported back.
In the hotel, Xu Cheng closed the door and thought about Uehara Ryo's reaction from beginning to end.
He was on guard against Uehara Ryo taking action the whole time, but the other party showed no hostility other than being angry, and showed no signs of taking action.
Isn't he the enemy?
Xu Cheng returned to the room and thought carefully.
The only ones who would take action against him might be the three camps of ability users that he came into contact with in the third mission.
The government, the Superpower Association, the resistance.
Intuitively speaking, the government is the most likely. After all, they have a dark history of persecuting people with abilities.
But the Super Power Association is not without suspicion, because Aragaki Ayase's sudden change in attitude last time made him suspicious.
The resistance seemed to have the least suspicion, and had been accusing the government of assassinating people with abilities, but they had always been secretive and sneaky, giving Xu Cheng the worst impression.
After thinking for a while and finding no clue, Xu Cheng simply gave up thinking. He was not a person who could make sharp turns and could not find the truth in a short time.
Anyway, every time I do a mission, I always fail the first time, so I just treat it as a dungeon to open up wasteland and just rush through it.
After thinking about this, Xu Cheng calmed down.
He checked the room inside and out, and after confirming that there was no problem, he found a chair to sit down and waited slowly.
Although you can leave this place to delay time, the outside environment is too unfamiliar and makes it even more dangerous.
Time passed by, Xu Cheng's attention remained highly concentrated, and it was inevitable that he would slack off after a long time.
Just when he couldn't help but yawn, he suddenly felt a small crisp sound coming from the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony, and then he was hit hard on the temple, as if he had been punched hard.
"Fuck!"
Xu Cheng felt his consciousness gradually disappear, his head tilted, and he slumped down on the chair.
A throwing knife penetrated deeply into his temple.
【mission failed】
The beep from Task Manager brought the world to a halt.
Three options appeared in front of Xu Cheng.
【Start over (0/5)】
[Use resurrection (0/2)]
【Watch the replay】
He immediately chose to watch the replay, wanting to see when exactly the enemy came and what method they used to kill him.
The playback started when Ryo Uehara knocked on the door. Xu Cheng carefully observed Ryo Uehara's expression from a third-party perspective and found that he did not show any hostility.
Either he is the best actor, or he has nothing to do with him.
After Uehara Ryo left, the time gradually came to 1:30 in the middle of the night. Xu Cheng found that he began to lose concentration while sitting on the chair, and when he yawned, a cold light came in from the balcony.
"stop!"
Xu Cheng stopped the playback, looked closely, and found that the cold light was an exquisite flying knife.
"No way!"
Seeing this familiar flying knife, Xu Cheng suddenly showed his Sima expression.
It's a pity that the replayer couldn't leave the balcony to observe outside, so he couldn't see whether the person who killed him was a hot woman.
If it were her, this task would be difficult.
Xu Cheng noted down the time of the flying knife attack, and then chose to restart.
He chose the second archive, starting after Uehara Ryo left, and then followed the same steps as the first one without making any changes.
Sitting on the chair, Xu Cheng began to imagine in his mind when it was a few minutes before the flying knife appeared.
Many works appeared in his mind, this time it was not animation, but various novels.
What about the record of the goddess Qiong X, what kind of wife is like a knife, what kind of spiritual practice...
All kinds of classic plots flashed through Xu Cheng's mind. There was no need to bring in the tormentor, he only needed to be angry with the tormentor, and his anger immediately increased.
A ball of chaotic energy was created in his chest. As he used his emotional control talent to amplify his anger, it was like adding fuel to the fire, and the quality of the chaotic energy instantly increased several times.
Xu Cheng carefully controlled the chaotic energy to prevent it from dissipating, and continued to replay those classic novels in his mind to provide emotional support to the chaotic energy.
When the time came to the second that Xu Cheng recorded.
call out!
A ray of cold light passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows and curtains and shot towards Xu Cheng's head.
coming!
Xu Cheng suddenly turned his head to avoid it, and at the same time raised his hand to point out the window.
The chaotic energy in the chest's blood vessels quickly flows to the fingers, converging into a ball of dark red energy at the fingertips.
Chaos energy spurted out and turned into a finger-thick ray, which penetrated the curtains and floor-to-ceiling windows and shot out to the balcony.
Outside the balcony, Qiu Gongyue was wearing a long black coat with a hood and a black mask on her face, revealing only a pair of big dark and quiet eyes.
She stood on the balcony railing, her black short skirt revealing a section of snow-white absolute territory, which was extremely dazzling under the moonlight.
She had been paying attention to the situation in the room, and a little surprise flashed in her eyes when she discovered that Xu Cheng had dodged a sneak attack that would kill him.
Then she turned her head suddenly, and the energy ray shot out from the room just flew past her ear, without causing any harm at all.
boom!
With a sudden loud noise and scattered glass shattering, Xu Cheng knocked open the floor-to-ceiling window and rushed out.
The surprise in Qiu Gongyue's eyes instantly turned into consternation.
