Chapter 172: Alley Chase
"Smack...... Bang ......
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the winding and narrow alleys, and Jiang Yao looked back anxiously as he clenched "Wu's" arm that was as thin as firewood.
Although Jiang Yao had successfully used his two hacking techniques to create chaos before, he also knew in his heart that even if he managed to escape from the bar, if he didn't leave the area as soon as possible, it would be a matter of time before he was caught.
"It should be this way...... Follow me!"
Jiang Yao glanced at the forks on both sides and quickly made a judgment based on the memory when he came, while "Wu", who was pulled by him, looked at Jiang Yao's back expressionlessly, like a puppet without a soul.
"Damn, there's still no signal, what's going to happen next to get out of here?"
Jiang Yao looked at the mobile phone screen that still displayed "no signal", and looked at the fork that appeared again with some hesitation, to be honest, he didn't know how he came to the "Shadow Bar" through the so-called "enchantment" in the first place, and in the face of such an intricate alley, I am afraid that he will not be able to get out smoothly with memory alone.
"By the way, you should be more familiar with this place than me, do you know how to get there?"
As if remembering something, Jiang Yao turned to look at the thin figure behind him, but the "nothing" in front of him still just stared at Jiang Yao fixedly, without the slightest reaction.
Couldn't it be that you just got a bottle of wine and smashed your head......?
Looking at the silent "puppet doll" in front of him, Jiang Yao could only sigh speechlessly and gave up asking.
"Then you hide here first, and I'll go up and take a look at the terrain. ”
Jiang Yao said, took "Wu" to the shadow of a building under repair, then turned around and climbed the scaffolding on the side, and came to a high place in three or two clicks, looking up at the surroundings.
I don't know if it's because of the so-called "enchantment" interference, but the alley is surrounded by a vague mist, which reduces the visibility around it a lot. And even if he climbed to a high place, Jiang Yao could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a building light in the southeast, which seemed to be the location of the downtown area.
"There's no way, now I can only try my luck...... Let's go southeast first. ”
Jiang Yao climbed down the scaffolding, took "Wu"'s hand and was about to move forward, but he quickly noticed that "Wu"'s footsteps did not move, and when he looked back, he found that "Wu" was staring at the alley not far ahead, only to hear a noisy voice coming from far and near:
"Quick, go over there!"
"You, search here with me, don't let that bastard run away!"
……
"Tsk, I chased after him so quickly...... Jiang Yao frowned, rushing out at this time was tantamount to throwing himself into the net, and in desperation, he could only choose to retreat with "nothing" and hide behind a pile of messy debris.
"There's a dead end in the back, and it looks like we'll have to dodge the people outside before we can go. ”
Jiang Yao glanced at the rear that was tightly blocked by bricks, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the disaster was not alone, and unlike the worried Jiang Yao, the face of the pursuit of "Wu" was calm, and his breath was not disturbed in the slightest, as if the group of people outside were not going to arrest him.
"Speaking of which...... Why did you steal the 'invitation' from me, did your adoptive father tell you to do it?"
Jiang Yao looked at the entrance of the alley in front of him, then turned his head to look at the "nothing" with a blank demeanor, and suddenly asked.
“……”
There was no response, as Jiang Yao expected.
"Maybe you're forced to, but...... That invitation is very important to me, can you please give it back to me?" Jiang Yao paused and asked softly again.
“……”
No expression, no reaction, only silence. The depths of "Nothing's" blue eyes were like black holes, and all emotions were wiped out, and even Jiang Yao couldn't see anything from them, let alone know if he was really because of his head injury, or if he didn't want to answer at all.
"Forget it...... Since you are doing things for your adoptive father, it is estimated that eighty percent of the things are already in the hands of your adoptive father. ”
Jiang Yao shook his head, and after thinking for a moment, he raised his eyes again to look at "Wu's" face, but this time there seemed to be a little more serious look in his eyes.
"Then I'll ask you one last question, you...... Do you want to leave your adoptive father?"
"Hoo ......"
The crisp breeze blew through "Wu's" messy short gray hair, and after Jiang Yao's words fell this time, the child, who had been expressionless and like a puppet doll, finally seemed to have a slightly different reaction on his face. However, Jiang Yao waited for a long time, but in the end he didn't wait for the other party's answer, which made Jiang Yao a little disappointed.
"Okay, just let me be nosy this time, you ...... in the future"
"Hmm. ”
Suddenly, a barely audible sound of promise came from behind Jiang Yao, who turned his head in surprise and met the blue eyes of "Wu". The breeze gently stroked the broken hair on "Wu's" forehead, and Jiang Yao could feel that the other party's expression seemed to be a little different at this time.
"You mean...... You want to leave your adoptive father and regain your freedom, don't you?" As if to confirm something, Jiang Yao asked again, and "None" didn't make a sound this time, just nodded slightly.
"Huh...... With your words, my thoughts are not in vain. Jiang Yao smiled with satisfaction, and then looked back to the front.
"Later, I'll go out and get those people away, you take the opportunity to escape into the downtown area, they don't dare to arrest people there casually. By the way, there is a girls' middle school on Sujiang Road, and there is a trainee teacher named Jiuya in it, he is my friend, you tell him that Jiang Yao called you, and he will find a way to protect you. ”
"Oh, have you looked for it over there?" and searched for it......
The noise was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that many people had begun to search the nearby alleys, and Jiang Yao saw that the time was ripe, so he got up cautiously and walked out of the debris pile.
"I used to be like you, alone for a long time. Jiang Yao glanced at the thin young man in the shadows and said seriously. "But even if there is only one person, live well, because your life is your own. ”
After speaking, Jiang Yao stopped rubbing, and after taking a deep breath, he rushed towards the figures at the entrance of the alley.
"Someone!?over there, chase after it!!"
"Everyone, follow me, don't let him run!"
……
The noisy footsteps faded away, and "Wu" slowly stood up from behind the pile of debris, silently looking at the direction Jiang Yao had left, and then lowered his head again, and pulled out the crumpled red envelope in his pocket, which was exactly what he had obtained from Jiang Yao earlier.
“……”
"Nothing" didn't speak, but in the depths of his pupils as blue as the sea, there seemed to be a subtle wave, but it was fleeting.
The night breeze blows through the fog in the alley, and the figure of "Nothing" also disappears into the darkness in this fog.
---------------------------
"Stop, don't run!!"
The group of people who were tracking persevered in chasing Jiang Yao's figure, and Jiang Yao deliberately kept a short distance from the gang and lured them all the way;
I'm ...... now Where is it? Huh? How do you feel like you've just been here?
Jiang Yao gasped, looked up and looked around, he always felt a little familiar, but the fierce pursuers behind him couldn't allow him to hesitate. In desperation, Jiang Yao couldn't take care of so much, so he could only continue to run between the intricate alleys like a headless fly. However, just after running a few steps, a burst of neon light suddenly came into view, and when I looked up, I was surprised to find that what appeared in front of me was the initial location of the previous trouble-making escape-"Shadow Bar".
"I went, why did I come back again??"
went around in a big circle and returned to the original point, which made Jiang Yao's head dizzy for a while, but what was even worse was that there was no other way to go in front of him, and in the fog behind him, the figure of the chasing soldiers was getting closer and closer, and this situation can be described as a dilemma.
Now the "Shadow Bar" must have found out that I did it in the first place, and now hiding in it is tantamount to looking for death, what should I do?
Jiang Yao looked left and right, but found that the alley where the bar was located was equivalent to a dead end, and the buildings on both sides were built with high walls, and there were no sundries to climb with.
If the gang found out that I wasn't "Nothing", they would definitely turn back to him...... No, we have to find a way to hold them back!
Jiang Yao's heart sank, and he turned around to look at the figure that was gradually chasing behind, and the demonic power in his body began to slowly boil with the circulating veins.
Drive a small amount of demonic power and gather it into the palm of your hand...... Yes, that's what it feels like......
Jiang Yao gently closed his eyes, consciously mobilized part of the energy in his body to concentrate on his right arm, and continued to extend towards his five fingers. Slowly, a seemingly nonexistent giant claw phantom began to loom on Jiang Yao's right hand.
"Demon Power Representation" - Although this skill that can visualize the demon power in the body into a physical weapon is powerful, for Jiang Yao, who has not a deep foundation, once it is not well controlled, it will cause the demon power to run wild. In the past, he was in the netherworld because of the excessive squeezing of power to carry out the 'demonic power visualization', which caused the qi veins to be broken, Jiang Yao himself knew this in his heart, if it wasn't for his helplessness, he wouldn't dare to use it casually.
Almost...... It's not ......
Jiang Yao thought silently in his heart, his palms had begun to tremble slightly after struggling to control the demonic power, and at this time he felt like he was stepping on a boundless steel rope, and he would fall into the abyss of losing control if he was not careful. And what he didn't know was that even if he intended to control it, the turquoise lavalier on his collar that covered the demonic attribute still glowed with an ominous red light.
"Look, it's over there!"
The footsteps of the chase were getting closer and closer, Jiang Yao opened his eyes suddenly, and in the fog, he saw many scattered figures becoming clearer and clearer. Just as he was about to make a desperate gamble, a strange wind suddenly passed through the narrow alley!
"Hoo ——!"
Dust and debris in the wind raging in an instant, surprised, Jiang Yao suddenly found that his waist was wrapped around a pale yellow light cord at some point, before he could react, he suddenly felt light, and in the next moment, he was pulled into the wind by the light cord.
