Raindrops fall from the night sky, lapping on neon signs, gliding along the outer edges of those shimmering colored lights.

When it rains a lot, the neon signs look hazy, spreading out the light, and the whole street seems to be shrouded in a halo.

The holographic projection still plays smoothly in the rain, and a beautiful model walks up and down the second floor of a building holding something like a facial cleanser.

Pedestrians holding umbrellas and standing in close proximity to each other, but rarely talking, just entering and exiting the shops on both sides of the street.

The rain on the ground gathered and dispersed into a pool of stagnant water, and occasionally a bad luck person stepped on it and cursed a few words.

Zhu Jue sat on a stall on the side of the street, holding his chin with one hand, watching the rain slide down on the edge of the canopy in front of him, and at the same time looking at the night scene of the outer city.

It rained out of the central area of Yecheng, and I thought that I would go home first with the rain, but the momentum was a little big when I was halfway there, so I could only find a place to avoid it on the side of the road.

Turning his head and looking at the sand scorpion parked on the side of the road, it was completely enclosed to prevent rain from entering the machine and causing damage.

Thorn~

There was the sound of meat being poured with oil and grilled over the fire, and the stall owner in the store did not have a sorrow on his face.

Great harvest!

"Boss, help me roast these two pieces of meat too, but you have to wash them first. ”

Anyway, it was empty now, Donald took out two pieces of the Nightmare mutant from his backpack and handed them to the stall owner, asking him to take them and roast them for himself, and then took a skewer of grilled tenderloin and ate it himself, and then tore a piece of the wind chime that poked his head out of the backpack.

Honk~

Informational tips.

Gu Yinxing: "What are you doing now?"

Sitting on the edge of the bed in the dormitory, the bed has been cleaned up, and the clothes and shoes are sorted into the suitcase.

Can't wake up 123: "Eating barbecue, not my own rooftop, I just ran errands outside, and it was raining on the way back, so I could only find a place to avoid it first." ”

Gu Yinxing: "I'm moving, the company made an internal selection for us, and I passed, so I have to go to a training institution in the outer city, and I have to change a dormitory, in order to maintain my figure in the future, I shouldn't be able to eat barbecue~"

Can't wake up 123: "It's a good thing, if you can pass the selection, you must be capable, as a fan, I will continue to support you." ”

Being an artist in a place like the old city has no future after all, and the consumption level of people living here is definitely not comparable to that of people in the outer city or the main city.

"Your barbecue is ready. ”

Another large plate of barbecue meat was placed in front of him, looking at the two special pieces of meat that were released separately, Zhu Jue held his mobile phone in one hand and replied to Gu Yinxing's message.

Her singing voice can help her recover her spirit, Zhu Jue is grateful to her, for this girl who has helped him a lot, he still hopes that the other party can have a good future.

After chatting a few words one after another, Gu Yinxing also asked about the video on the cloud map, but Zhu Jue prevaricated, only saying that there were similar people, and as a policeman, how could he shoot a video.

The chat between the two didn't last long, Gu Yinxing still had to move, and after a while, the avatar darkened.

There is some emptiness in my heart, but it is just empty, the other party is going to go up, and naturally there is no reason to be sad.

Putting down his phone, he picked up the piece of meat roasted by the Dire mutant and put it in his mouth, it was fragrant, but the taste was still bland, and he swallowed it after chewing it a few times.

According to previous experience, these meats should be able to enhance the ability of a certain part of his body, Zhu Jue waited while eating the barbecue.

After about ten seconds, his whole body was faintly hot, but this feeling did not last long, unlike the meat pieces of the previous human-faced rat, and both legs were numb as if they had been electrocuted after eating.

I clenched my fist, and I didn't feel the strength increase, and I stretched out my leg and kicked it twice, but I didn't feel anything strange either.

What's going on...... Did you say that it went bad overnight?

"Hey~ This fresh-keeping time is inevitably too short, right, I knew that I would roast it alive by the campfire......? Forget it, it should be regarded as eating a trench and growing wise. ”

Flicking the slices of meat on the plate with chopsticks, fluffy wind chimes poked out of the backpack on his legs, whispering to him.

"Still want to eat?"

Tear a piece of tenderloin from the side and hand it over.

Oh~

Turning his head sideways to avoid feeding, the wind chime's two front paws reached out to the table, his eyes locked on the remaining white piece of meat in the tray.

"You want to eat this? No, this thing...... Why don't you try it?"

Thinking that he couldn't eat it anyway, he simply tore off a small strip with his fingernail and handed it to the mouth of the wind chime, who opened his mouth and couldn't wait to swallow it.

Whoop~whoa~

With a rapid cry, the wind chimes seemed to feel something after eating one, and they couldn't wait to get out of the backpack.

"That's what you like...... Speaking of which......, I haven't really given this meat to other people or animals to try, so why don't you try it with an experimental subject next time?"

I tore a small strip and fed it to the wind chime, but turned its head to look behind it while it was eating.

There's someone behind you!

This message suddenly came to my mind, and I saw someone coming in from outside the canopy with an umbrella......

"Boss, come on a few strings of waists. ”

The guests walked into the canopy to collect their umbrellas, and Zhu Jue had already turned his head back.

Zhu Jue was sure that he had not heard footsteps or the sound of guests talking before, and the time he sensed was 3 seconds ago, when he was still a few meters away.

Why can I sense it?

Could the Dire mutant's flesh provide a perceptual enhancement?

Thinking about it, it is indeed possible, this guy has no facial features, but he can come and go freely in the dark mountains and forests, not that he has some organs on his body that Zhu Jue did not notice, or that he can perceive the surrounding environment in other ways.

Tear the remaining mutant strips of meat on the tray in half, throw half into your mouth, and feed the other half in the palm of your hand to the wind chimes.

Chewing and swallowing, waiting for the hot current to flow again throughout his body, Zhu Jue slowly closed his eyes.

At first it was darkness, but then some rough outlines of lines began to appear in front of me, trays, tables, chairs, canopies, grills......

Zhu Jue's vision was indeed blocked by his eyelids, but everything in a certain range around him could be seen in another state.

To put it simply, Zhu Jue at this moment is like a humanoid self-propelled sensing device, as long as it is within a certain range of his surroundings, it will appear in his mind in the form of external lines and outlines.

At the moment, it seems to be only about 5 meters away, and it is pitch black farther away.

Even so, Zhu Jue is still quite happy, at least this meat has not expired, right?

Don't worry about diarrhea.

Oh~

The wind chimes in the backpack probably found that those good-smelling meat strips were gone, and his attention returned to the ordinary barbecue on the tray, and Zhu Jue fed it while gnawing on it himself.

Unconsciously turned to the rain next to him, and waited here for almost half an hour, but the rain still did not mean to decrease.

The temperature is constantly decreasing, the clouds in the sky are getting thicker and heavier, and in the beep of the charcoal fire at the barbecue stall next to him, Zhu Jue's thinking is constantly slowing down.

At a certain moment, the speed of the rain silk connected in front of him seemed to decrease with Zhu Jue's thinking, and everywhere he looked, it seemed that everything was moving in slow motion according to the original trajectory.

Consciousness watched all this change in a state of spectatorship, Zhu Jue himself was aware of this situation, but he didn't know what was happening, he wanted to raise his hand and turn his head, but found that even his own movements were slowed down.

Or rather...... It is in his perception that is amplified, causing a disharmony between the mind and the body.

Honk!!!

The prompt sound of the message coming from the mobile phone happened to ring at this time, pulling Zhu Jue out of this state.

Breathed a long sigh of relief, Zhu Jue didn't know whether he should be happy or angry at this time, and glanced at the name on the screen, Wang Dong.

The other party sent him an address, saying that he had found a foothold for the previously mentioned B-level wanted criminal, and asked him to help.

Zhu Jue wanted to reply that it was inconvenient now, but when he clicked on the map, he found that it was not far from him, roughly two blocks away.

Eat the rest of the barbecue in the tray and go to the side to ride the sand scorpion.

When he arrived at the place, he saw Wang Dong standing under the eaves, and Zhu Jue already had an extra raincoat on his body that he had just bought in the shop on the side of the road, but unfortunately the clothes below were still half wet.

"Sand Scorpion? Yes, your earning speed is a bit powerful, and I was a little afraid to admit it when you came over just now. ”

Wang Dong's own car is also a motorcycle, so Wang Dong also has some research in this area.

"People here?"

He pointed to the residential building next to him.

"Not here, this kind of wanted criminal is very sensitive to sound, our car is not an ordinary motorcycle, especially your sand scorpion, direct approach will definitely arouse his alarm, so I chose to meet here, that person may be opposite. ”

Pointing to the building in the distance, it was a building still under construction, the skeleton of the foundation was already there, and there was a layer of mechanical shelves and some construction equipment on the outside, and around it was a construction site full of various building materials.

Under the shroud of rain and gloomy sky, no matter how you look at it, it is a little gloomy and gloomy, which makes people unconsciously contact in some bad directions.

"Possibly?"

Taking off the helmet and putting it in the trunk of the sand scorpion, Zhu Jue asked with some raised eyebrows.

"How can it be 100 percent, I also just received the information, someone found that someone similar to Mawala has recently entered and exited the unfinished building over there, and I can't rush in to check it alone, this special B-class wanted criminal, I am not confident that I will take him alone. ”

As an investigator, Wang Dong is still somewhat self-aware of his own strength, most of the B-level wanted criminals are people with certain combat skills, and this Mawala is said to be carrying treasures, and he can live until now, it is naturally impossible to say that he has no ability.

Clang~

The two were chatting, but there was a dull sound from the upper floors of the construction site building over there, and Wang Dong immediately took out a monocular black telescope from the backpack placed at his feet and looked in the direction where the sound came.

"Oh shit, someone arrived before us, fuck, that informant sold this news to someone else!"

In the magnified image of the telescope, about the 20th floor of the building in front of you, someone is struggling to hang outside by a brown pillar of sand and break through the mechanical shelf that covers the outside.

"Show me. ”

took the telescope from Wang Dong's hand, and just pointed at the lens, he happened to see that the person had been released and fell from the position of more than 20 floors.

The bottom is a concrete field, and this height is ...... I'm afraid that whatever the meatloaf is, he will be.

"What now? The other party has already discovered that his location has been exposed in advance, and he must have taken precautions...... Hey!

Wang Dong put his hands on his waist and said with some distress, he originally came to arrest by surprise with the idea of sneak attack, but now that the other party has just finished killing people, the momentum is flourishing, and it is not a good idea to go up and fight hard at this time.

Then he saw Zhu Jue, who was carrying a brown wooden box, his backpack was left in place, and he rushed out wearing a raincoat.

"Now that you're sure you're there, what are you waiting for?"

Looking back at Wang Dong, who was still in place, he shouted.

It's all here, and when it's found, it's gone, isn't the rain in vain?

This is not Zhu Jue's style!

Wang Dong sighed, and then took out the weapon from the trunk of his motorcycle and followed Zhu Jue's footsteps.

The two rushed all the way to the front of the building, and unsurprisingly saw the "meatloaf" slumped on the ground.

The twisted limbs, flesh and bones were mixed together, and only a rough prototype could be vaguely seen, which should have fallen face down.

"This man is a gangster powerhouse. ”

Wang Dong has been an investigator for several years, and he has been in contact with all kinds of characters, although the corpse in front of him is no longer human, but the large color tattoo on his back still exists, and this level of large-scale tattoo is usually carved by gang members.

There are also external signs that look obviously different from ordinary people, the corpse's hands have become beast claws, and there are some unfaded hairs on his body, which proves that he should have used beast injections before he died.

"Any questions?"

Wiping the rain from his face, Zhu Jue didn't quite understand what Wang Dong meant.

"He's here to prove that some of the gangsters in the Ebony District already know where Mawala is, and in their style, it won't be long before a large number of men arrive. ”

Gangsters don't pay attention to fighting alone, as long as the target is confirmed, nine times out of ten it is a crowd tactic.

When the time comes, the two of them don't have to think about it to know that it's the flooded side.
