In the dark sewer, a mother rat with several cubs ran out of her hiding place. Her eyes were fixed on a cockroach lying on the wall. Although this was not something she liked to eat, As prey, the opponent's nutritional value is still very good.

The female mouse crawled over cautiously, and when it got closer, it jumped up and bit it. The cockroach was the food in its mouth. It was getting closer, closer, closer...

Suddenly, a bald head appeared, just at the edge of the fork in the road. The other person's head poked out, like a hungry ghost among cats, staring at it with a pair of ferocious eyes as if it was hunting. The mother mouse's movements were somewhat... stiff.

"found it."

As the sound rang out, like an athlete who heard the starting gun, it rushed to the side at a sprint speed of 100 meters, abandoned the little mouse behind it, jumped high, and jumped into the flowing sewage of the sewer.

"Squeak, squeak..."

When the little mouse saw his mother's behavior, he jumped in one after another like dumplings.

Wu Ke was just a little strange. He glanced at the seemingly confused mouse family, and his eyes quickly returned to that side, where there was a footprint and a drag mark.

He returned to the sewers and searched forked roads one by one, and finally found a clue here.

"Those two bad guys, don't even think about escaping." Wu Ke waved his fist and said to himself encouragingly, and continued to follow the traces. His eyes looked a little vicious, but this was to focus his attention. Allows you to see clearly in a dark environment.

After a while, Iskandar held a torch and followed Weber beside him, but he followed the traces caused by the sea demon and walked towards another branch.

. . . . .

"Blue!"

In a remote alley, the cover of a sewer wellhead was lifted. Wu Ke held up the cover and flew up from below. He put the cover back on and looked at some black stains on the ground next to the wellhead.

"The two bad guys climbed up from here, and then they cleaned up some stains on their bodies. The drag marks disappeared three meters away, but there were still a pair of slight shoe prints on the ground. One disappeared? The other walked to the alley Are there no traces of your mouth?"

Wu Ke stopped next to the green trash can. He opened the lid of the trash can and saw a dirty jacket with a sewer smell thrown on top.

It belongs to that young scoundrel, but his pants are not here. The coat is dirty, so there is no reason that the outer pants are not dirty.

Obviously, in order to be inconspicuous, the other party took off the dirty coat, but if he took off the dirty pants, it would make the other party more conspicuous.

So……

A bald head poked out from the alley.

Super thinking, super vision, super hearing, and the super insight formed by their combined use continue to play a role.

The left side is quiet, and the architectural style in the distance is also more residential. The sound of vehicles can be heard on the right side, obviously heading towards the street.

Then, there is a high probability that people who take off their dirty coats and want to be inconspicuous will not go towards the street...

Wu Ke walked quickly to the left, his eyes constantly scanning the street. Suddenly he squatted down in front of a small black spot on the ground, touched the black spot on the ground with his hand, and judged that it was a trace formed by the drying of sewage. .

Sure enough, he was walking to the left, and the most likely plan of that person was to sneak into someone else's house and change out of his dirty clothes.

Wu Ke's recovered super hearing began to spread in the area, but after listening for a while, he did not hear any unusual noises, such as calls for help.

Where will it be?

Walking hundreds of meters along the street, thanks to the black spots that appeared on the ground from time to time, Wu Ke was sure that he was looking in the right direction.

Until the black spot disappeared in an area of ​​single-family houses, Wu Ke searched carefully for a while, and finally found a guardrail with stains and scratches at the door of a house.

That is……

Wu Ke, who jumped onto the fence, saw that in the front yard of this house, there was an unnatural gap in the middle of the clothes drying pole. That gap could almost fit a piece of clothing and a pair of pants horizontally.

On the left, there should be a hose connected to the faucet for watering the flowers, but at the empty drainage outlet in the yard, there is a puddle that has not been cleaned.

It's afternoon now, and there are still cleaning tools in the yard that show signs of frequent use.

Wu Ke closed his eyes and imagined a person sneaking in here and washing his body in the yard.

Then, he jumped to the wall of the opposite flower bush, but from above he saw some clothes stuffed in the flowers below, as well as a pair of dirty shoes.

One of the two bad guys, the young man, had indeed washed his body here and stolen clean clothes from the clothes drying pole, but was he still in the house in front of him now?

Wu Ke was not sure. He could only hear the movement of two people in the house. He felt that he had to be cautious and not alert the snake. Maybe the other party had hijacked the owner of the house.

This time, Wu Ke didn't plan to shout slogans. He just wanted to kill with one hit and not give the bad guys the possibility to escape.

Wu Ke floated into the yard, and just as he was about to gently open the glass door on the side of the house facing the yard, a voice came from behind him from outside: "Ha, you thief!"

Where is the thief?

Wu Ke quickly turned around and saw a man carrying a shopping bag at the door. He put down the shopping bag in his hand, picked up a shovel from the wall next to the iron railing of the door and ran over.

Just when Wu Ke was wondering where the thief was, a shovel was held up by a man and pointed at him: "Get out of my yard!"

"Wait a minute, when you say thief, are you referring to me?"

Wu Ke blinked and pointed to his nose.

"Didn't you hear me? Get out of my yard." The man gasped, waved the shovel in his hand, and said in a threatening manner.

"No, please listen to my explanation, I am not a thief..."

"You're not going to get out yet, are you?"

"My name is SurperBoy. I'm actually tracking two bad guys. They may have entered your home..."

"What!" The man suddenly became frightened and angry, but his understanding was completely different from what Wu Ke said: "You have other companions who broke into my house? I will kill you first."

The man waved the shovel in his hand and smacked him directly in this direction.

Wu Ke scratched his head a little, wondering why the other party was so angry, so he reached out and grabbed the shovel.

The man pulled out the shovel in his hand and found that it couldn't be moved. He was gripped tightly and kicked him over in haste.

Then, his feet were grabbed as well.

"What's wrong?"

Inside the house, the woman who heard the commotion outside ran out and saw her husband being grabbed by the ankle by a dirty homeless man and being held in his hands.

"dad?"

Her son also ran out.

"Xingzi, take Xiaoyu in. It's dangerous here. Lock the door and call the police."

"No, you should listen to the explanation!"

Looking at the woman on the other side of the glass door, he immediately picked up the child and ran into the house, locking the door. Wu Ke was a little helpless, but what was certain was that the noise he heard in the house just now was not caused by the big bad guy. , which is a good thing.

"Police? This is No. 8, Hinoki 3rd Street. I want to call the police. A homeless man broke into my yard. My husband is being raped..."

Wu Ke's mouth twitched when he heard the real alarm sound inside. However, at this time, he also realized that he looked a bit slovenly. His tattered clothes had been wandering around in the sewer twice. It is indeed broken, smelly and dirty.

Anyone who sees him will think that he is a homeless person. If a homeless man invades his yard, and there is a wife and children at home, there is a high probability that he will have the same overreaction as the man in his hand.

After understanding this, Wu Ke put down the man. Feeling the difference in strength, the man just looked at him with somewhat wary and fearful eyes after being put down.

Wu Ke moved some distance away from the other party and his house. He walked to the clothes drying pole, pointed at the unnatural space above and asked, "Are you missing some clothes here?" ?”

The man took a look and found that his clothes were indeed missing from it. He hesitated, but nodded.

"I became like this after chasing bad guys in the sewers." Wu Ke briefly explained the reason for his current appearance, and then continued: "The two bad guys I chased were murderers, and one was a sneak I came in, washed my body, and took away your clothes. Maybe you are missing a pair of shoes, where are your shoes?"

"On the shelf, I washed a pair of shoes, and now they're gone too."

"Okay, then please tell me the color and style of the clothes, pants, and shoes, okay?"

Wu Ke acted very reliable and did not look like a bad guy. The man believed his words: "I can't remember the style of the shoe, but its color is white, and there is a black Z letter next to the shoe. I The missing clothes are blue and are the new model of the Novi brand last year, and the pants are gray and match the same style."

"Great, thank you very much for the valuable information, I have to go after the bad guys now."

After inquiring about the information, Wu Ke did not intend to stay here and was ready to leave.

At this time, the man had realized that he might have made a mistake, and he felt a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I just thought you were an intruder who wanted to break into my home."

"It doesn't matter, your reaction is normal." Wu Ke didn't care: "Then, my time is very tight, so I'll say goodbye."

In the stunned eyes of the other party, Wu Ke rose directly into the sky. The man patted the glass door and murmured: "Hey, Xingzi, don't call the police, come out and watch the trapeze!"

Opposite, at the window in the attic of the house, the curtains inside moved. Watching the man in the sky fly away, Ryunosuke Yusei dared to breathe: "What the hell, can you catch me like this?!"

Ryunosuke Uyu was here just now and heard the movement outside. When he opened the curtains and saw the bald head in the yard opposite, he was really frightened. Next to him, Blue Beard, who had turned into a spirit, His feelings were not much different, they were both shocked.

For that man, Bluebeard just felt a little difficult to deal with at first, and the threat was not very strong, at least not as much as Assassin who blocked the road and attacked him, nor as much as Rider, who was able to hang him head-on with a group of sea demons flying kites.

But after being almost caught up twice by the opponent, Bluebeard now has a different feeling. He can actually feel that there is an indescribable sense of oppression on the opponent.

This sense of oppression does not stem from the opponent's strength, but from the opponent's relentless pursuit, as if the opponent may appear next to them anytime, anywhere, and then hold a heavy iron fist on them and blow their heads off. .

"Now, Grandpa Bluebeard, how about we stop killing people here and perform the magic replenishment ritual you mentioned? Can we do this again when we go to other places?"

Blue Beard looked at Ryunosuke Uyu, listening to what he said, and thinking about the bald head in his mind, he inexplicably thought of a sword, the Sword of Damocles that warns and regulates people's behavior!
