Xue Yuhong felt more and more something was wrong with the crow above her head. She picked up a few stones from the ground and shot them at the crow above her head.
What is strange is that these crows actually flew sideways to avoid the stones. Moreover, they deliberately flew higher and even flew far away, as if they were wary of Xue Yuhong.
"It's not good." Xue Yuhong had an uneasy premonition.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"These crows are much smarter than I thought." Xue Yuhong frowned.
"It's just a crow, there's nothing to worry about."
"I feel like we're being watched."
"You mean we are being watched by crows? Why are crows watching us?" Xiao Chen felt more and more mysterious.
"You don't understand. There are some powerful wizards who can use crows as a medium to get into dangerous places. Whatever the crows see will be transmitted to the eyes of the wizards."
"Witch...Wizard? Are there wizards in the world?" Xiao Chen has lived in Peicheng for a long time and knows very little about the outside world.
"Wizards specifically refer to those with strange abilities, such as those with illusions and divination. Those with abilities that are difficult to define or have multiple abilities can be called wizards," Xue Yuhong explained. .
"Then who do you think is spying on us?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't have to worry so much. In short, we must be careful in every next step we take."
"Understood."
The group continued walking towards the city and soon arrived at a park. From this park, you can completely enter the city limits.
There were some people doing morning exercises in the park. They looked at Jiang Wei and the others, and they all showed a little curiosity.
The first is Xiao Chen, who is wearing a bulletproof vest and has a lot of equipment on him. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that he is a police officer. Then came Xue Yuhong, Jiang Wei, and Han Jiang, dressed in civilian attire, but with a lot of blood stains on their clothes.
This combination is enough to make people feel strange, but the civilians in the city do not mind their own business, but deliberately stay away.
"There is something wrong with our luggage. Ordinary civilians won't mind our own business, but if we encounter the police or militia, we must ask a few questions." Xue Yuhong said to everyone.
"Then what should we do?" Xiao Chen asked.
"If you want to sneak into the city, you must dress normally. There is a toilet there. Hanjiang, myself, and Yun'er went to wash away the blood stains on our bodies. There is a dryer in the toilet. As long as we take care of it, we are basically no different from civilians."
"What about me?" Xiao Chen didn't have any blood on his body, but he was dressed a little strangely.
"You'd better take off these clothes and don't need any equipment. Just bring a pistol."
"Is it necessary?" Xiao Chen felt that without those things, he would feel very insecure.
"It has to be like this, otherwise you will be a target. Don't forget that this is an urban area. The police equipment here will only be better than yours, not worse, so your equipment is of little use."
"Okay." Xiao Chen replied with a somewhat unhappy tone.
Jiang Wei felt that Xiao Chen had helped a lot by following him all the way, so she comforted Xiao Chen and said, "When there are better weapons and equipment, I will give them all to you. How about that?"
Seeing Jiang Wei's smile, Xiao Chen's mood suddenly improved: "Okay, then I'll go to the toilet and get rid of all these things."
"Well, let's all act together." Jiang Wei said.
Xiao Chen and Han Jiang went to the men's room, and Jiang Wei and Xue Yuhong went to the women's room. There was a certain distance between them and they couldn't hear each other's words.
At this time, Xue Yuhong said to Jiang Wei: "Yun'er, do you think it's great that Xiao Chen chose to be with us?"
"Yes, he is not related to us, but I think it is not easy to make such a choice. I admire him very much."
"Xiao Chen is just trying to protect himself."
"Self-protection?"
"You also said that if the small town police station cannot find out who is the clown, it will be blacklisted and its fate will become tragic. Rather than saying that Xiao Chen is great, it is better to say that he wants to take a gamble. He sees how powerful you are. , there might be a chance of survival by following us, so he chose to side with us."
"I know this, but I still think Xiao Chen's actions come from the bottom of his heart. After all, becoming a pariah is not life-threatening at least, but following us means living in fear. I still think he is quite great." Jiang Wei has her own judgment. , she thinks Xue Yuhong’s view is untenable.
"No, please don't be so naive, okay?"
"What does this have to do with my innocence?" Jiang Wei asked strangely.
"Listen, from today on, your goal is to survive. You can do it. You are very strong, even stronger than me. As for Xiao Chen, he is too weak. If he holds you back, you cannot hesitate. He must be abandoned."
"What are you talking about? I'm not this kind of person." Jiang Wei said unhappy.
"You have to do this, your life is more important than anyone else's."
"Then I can't do such a thing. Can you put yourself in my shoes? If I leave Brother Hanjiang and you, how sad will you be?"
"No, if you can achieve the consciousness of leaving us behind, I will be very happy, and Hanjiang will also be very happy."
"What? What do you mean?" Jiang Wei was completely confused. She didn't understand that her mother would actually say such a thing.
"Yun'er, you are the most important person in my world, so I hope you live, even if it is at the cost of my life, I will have no regrets. So, if it is really time to make a choice, you must live , which is more important than anything else.”
"But you are also very important to me. I don't want to live alone."
"Yun'er, you are not alone. Outside of Peicheng, outside of that huge city wall, there is your..."
"Sister Xue, we are ready, what about you?" What a coincidence, Xiao Chen interrupted Xue Yuhong's words.
Xue Yuhong was interrupted and suddenly reacted. It's not the critical moment yet, it's not the time to tell Jiang Wei the truth.
"We are almost ready, please wait a moment." Xue Yuhong shouted.
"Mom, what did you just say? What's outside Peicheng?" Jiang Wei asked softly.
"I'll tell you later."
"Does it have to be later?" Jiang Wei had a hunch that what Xue Yuhong was going to say just now might be related to the truth.
"Well, be obedient and I will tell you later."
"Okay." Jiang Wei always listens to Xue Yuhong's words and will never disobey unless absolutely necessary.
In this way, the four of them left the park and walked into the city. Their clothes were no different from ordinary civilians, so the police patrolling the streets didn't pay any attention to them.
These policemen were sitting in patrol cars with lazy expressions on their faces. Maybe they were just showing off and didn't seriously want to catch the clown.
A clown incident occurred in the city. In order to stabilize the mood of the officials, a large number of police and militia were dispatched to patrol day and night. But these people are in the open and the clown is in the dark, so the possibility of catching the clown is not high at all.
As for still patrolling every day, it is nothing more than to appease people.
But the people on the city streets did not have any worries. Their faces were as relaxed as usual, and they focused on work and life. They seemed not to be affected by the clown at all.
But it’s not hard to understand. The people the Joker killed were all corrupt officials. At present, no civilians have been brutally murdered, so the civilians themselves will not worry. Some civilians even secretly support the clown. If there were fewer corrupt officials, the lives of civilians would be better.
Xue Yuhong and the other four entered the city and first found a hotel to stay in.
When registering, the store manager asked the four people to show their ID cards.
It is now past 6 o'clock in the morning, and what happened in the town may not have reached the city yet, so it doesn't matter even if the four people show their names now, the system has not yet defined the four people's names as wanted criminals.
But definition comes sooner or later, maybe minutes or hours later, so it's definitely not appropriate to give a name now.
"Store manager, we were in a hurry and didn't bring our ID card." Xue Yuhong said.
"There are no four of them? What a coincidence, right?" The store manager showed a strange look in his eyes and looked at Xue Yuhong and the four of them one by one.
Jiang Wei felt that the store manager was suspicious and suspicious. Unknowingly, Jiang Wei had clenched her fist, and Xiao Chen had inserted his hand into his coat, holding the pistol, ready to pull it out at any time.
Xue Yuhong also felt that the store manager seemed to be aware of it, but she still planned to give it one last try: "We really didn't bring it with us because we were in a hurry. Can you be accommodating? If not, we will find another store."
"Hey, don't change. Our hotel is the most cost-effective one around. You will definitely be satisfied with your stay. If you don't have an ID card, it doesn't matter. Just pay an extra 100 yuan per room."
"Okay, we want two adjacent rooms." Xue Yuhong took out a universal bank card, which contained tens of thousands of yuan, which was basically the money Sun Li had obtained from killing corrupt officials.
When Pang Long took the money, he left some cash for Sun Li's family, and Xue Yuhong took tens of thousands and deposited it into a universal bank card. She didn't dare to save too much, because depositing a large amount of money at once would definitely lead to investigation.
After swiping their cards, the four people checked in smoothly.
Xiao Chen and Han Jiang came to Xue Yuhong's room, and the four of them began to discuss the next step.
The city is here, but there is no clue as to how to find Sun Li. Although there are no clues, it is not that there are no clues.
Generally speaking, clowns are nocturnal. Corrupt officials generally live in luxurious buildings. As long as they stay watch at night, they may gain something.
However, if you want to jump up and down in various high-rise buildings without getting injured, you must have a strength of more than 50, and your jumping ability must be particularly good, and your body skills must also be very good.
Xue Yuhong is afraid of heights, and Han Jiang and Xiao Chen's strength is only 10, so the only one who can squat at night is Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei volunteered and was full of confidence, but Xue Yuhong was hesitant. She was still worried about Jiang Wei's safety.
In today's urban areas, there are special police teams patrolling every night, and there will also be some people with relatively high strength among them. Jiang Wei may not be able to block the sniper rifles of the special police teams.
At this moment, Hanjiang suddenly started to take off his clothes.
"Hanjiang, what are you doing?" Xiao Chen wondered.
Hanjiang didn't answer, but continued to take off his clothes. After taking off two pieces of clothing, a piece of soft armor glowing with silver was revealed.
