Chapter 9: Phantom Movement

At night, the sky is overcast and lightly foggy.

Outside the gate of Qinghua West School, Ximen and Jin Chuan, Zhuang Yan, and Li Jinxian's three roommates came out to hang out.

There is never a shortage of people on the streets of China, people come and go, they walk and chat, there is a small stall on the side of the road, hang a curtain of "honest traders", these years, it is difficult to survive if you are not kind to do business, there is a line under the curtain, it is written "pull down CPI, increase GDP", obviously, the boss is very good at doing business, and business is really good.

"Last weekend, I went to Wudaokou Bar to watch an 'underground fighting match', it was really enjoyable, and the real fight was quite intense!" Zhuang Yan said, and his hands also made a few punches.

Zhuang Yan is a curious person, likes to get in touch with new things, especially some things abroad, and has a good family background.

"I've also heard that it's a place where evil forces often gather, and I won't go there." Jin Chuan said, then turned to Simon and said, "Right, Simon?" ”

"Well, yes, I'm not going either." Simon chimed in.

"It's just to watch, not to fight, it's fun to watch a real fight, and there are such games everywhere in the United States." Zhuang Yan said, a little fascinated.

"You can also gamble, and if you bet right, you can make a profit." Lee Kam Hyun said.

Li Jinxian's family background is complicated, no one knows what he does, he doesn't say anything when asked, he doesn't talk much, and he is a very deep person.

"Hey, you know that!" Zhuang Yan was very surprised, and immediately said as if he came to his senses, "Oh, you have been there, you must have gambled, haha......"

"I've been there since I was twelve, and there's nothing new." Lee was a little dismissive.

This time, everyone including Simon was surprised, Simon's experience was not so rich, it was relatively simple.

"Why is the fog getting bigger and bigger!" Jin Chuan said.

They were walking forward, at this time, Simon's gaze suddenly changed, Simon himself didn't know how it happened, his gaze penetrated the crowd, and through the fog, and saw three kilometers away next to a newsstand, an old man was flipping the newspaper, the corner of the old man's eyes were also looking at Simon, his eyes were weird, shining, and even more surprising, Simon saw that the old man's body seemed to be burning with golden flames.

No matter how good your eyesight is, you can't see the silhouette of a person three kilometers away, not to mention that the streets are crowded with people, it's night, and there is a thick fog.

Simon saw it, and it was very clear, the only thing that was not clear was the old man's face, which could not be seen clearly, but was vaguely recognizable.

Simon blinked, feeling a little familiar, and then looked, the old man put down the newspaper and turned to walk forward. The old man was wearing a large black windbreaker and shiny leather shoes, and when he turned around, he put a round-brimmed felt hat on his head.

"I think I've seen him somewhere......" Simon said unconsciously.

"Beauty? Where? Jin Chuan asked, looking in the direction of Ximen's gaze.

"It's just that there was an old man buying newspapers at the newsstand in front of me, and he was looking at me just now." Simon said.

"Newsstands? There is no newsstand ahead! Jin Chuan said in amazement, of course he couldn't see it with his eyes.

Ximenton felt discouraged and hurriedly said: "It seems to see a shadow, it is very familiar, I have to chase after it and ask, don't wait for me, go back first." ”

With that, Simon ran in the direction of the newsstand.

"Today, how does he seem to be a different person." Zhuang Yan wondered.

"If you want to say that you have changed a person, it has to be Hao Bai of our class, who was not in my eyes at all before, and suddenly became a big beauty after class at noon today, it is really a goddess level, if you change into a fashionable dress, you will definitely not lose to the school flower." Jin Chuan was full of infinite reverie, "Oh! Could it be Hao Bai in front, Ximen has a date with her! Let's take a look. ”

"I'm going back."

Li Jinxian glanced at Jin Chuan, turned around and left, Zhuang Yan glanced forward, and also turned back, Jin Chuan had to go back as well.

Speaking of Simon, he ran through the crowd and the streets, came to the newsstand, and saw that the old man was still not far ahead, and chased after him. After chasing for a long time, the old man was always in front, keeping a certain distance from Ximen, no matter whether Ximen was running fast or jogging, the distance was just right.

When they came to a more remote street, Simon was tired of holding his knees and panting, and the old man stood still about ten meters away from him, with his back to Simon.

Before they knew it, they had already run ten kilometers, and if it weren't for Ximen's usual attention to exercise, he would have been lying down early, and it would have been impossible to insist on running ten kilometers.

"Are you...... Who? I...... Have I seen you? Simon couldn't speak.

The old man was speechless.

After a moment's pause, Simon ran towards the old man, who seemed to have already understood Simon's thoughts, and moved forward like a phantom, not running, but moving, horizontally. When Simon was amazed, he stepped up his pace, and his body followed the old man like a phantom.

"Oh - it's true!!"

Simon was pleasantly surprised, but his footsteps did not relax, and he followed the old man like a phantom.

"It feels so good, it's so fast." Simon thought to himself, his face full of excitement.

The surrounding buildings and pedestrians flashed by.

What makes Simon strange is that normal people run quickly, with the wind behind them, the faster the speed, the stronger the wind, if there are people around, they can clearly feel the wind, and their clothes will flutter, when the old man runs at high speed in front of Ximen in the back, although this speed cannot exceed the speed of bullets, it is also a speed that human beings cannot reach, but the wind they bring seems to be very small, and pedestrians only seem to feel a gust of wind blowing, but they can't see their figures.

"Is the air thinner!"

This was the only explanation Simon could think of, and it wasn't until a few days later that Simon realized that it was the result of his body generating a force field to expel the air, and it was only natural that the air would become thinner.

Chasing through one street after another, one high-rise building after another, no matter whether the crowd is dense or scarce, it is impossible to catch up with the old man, and always keep a certain distance.

Finally came to a secluded street with two dim lights in the depths of the street and several parked cars on both sides of the street. The streets were dark, and the old man suddenly disappeared, and there was no trace of him.

The west gate stood at the corner of the street, and could not see the old man, so he stopped and looked around.

"Come on, help me, anyone? Ah......h

A woman's cry for help was heard from the depths of the street, but her mouth was immediately blocked and her voice was silenced.

Simon followed the voice, his eyes pierced through the thick fog in the darkness, and saw that more than a hundred meters deep in the street, a woman was surrounded by three young men, one man covered the woman's mouth from behind, and the other two men were approaching her. Simon hesitated slightly, but quickly mustered up his courage and walked in front of them.

Simon is not a person who loves to fight, except for sparring in martial arts training classes, he has never fought, but he has a deep belief in bravery.

Righteousness and courage, our generation is the first!
