Searching for a specific person in a modern city with a population of tens of millions, and looking for each other with very few clues, is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

The "organization" is willing to give a full bounty for this matter, and there must be a corresponding reason, and no one's money is blown by the wind.

If there were 100 people who received the news directly at the "organization's" base that day, and a rough estimate is that twice as many people were present who were not present but could receive the information indirectly and were ready to participate in the operation, then it means that there are probably 300 people looking for the "puppeteer".

The number is not small, but the problem is that these 300 people are not organized, have a clear division of labor, and have a clear purpose to carry out the operation, they are "fighting on their own"...... If you count the number of people, then you think that the so-called "big bounty" given by the "organization" is just that.

In general, it is difficult to find someone with a covered head, and the method is not advisable, the key point is how to lure the other party out and let him take the initiative to show up.

The only advantage is that the "puppeteer" is not a completely hidden figure, he has his own purpose, and he has taken dangerous actions for such purposes before, and this action will continue to be carried out for this purpose. The "puppeteer" will take the initiative to act, and his goal is to "go to the same place", which is an important weakness.

In order to exchange information, obtain information, and share experiences, there is a special stealth website for special groups, but this stealth is only for ordinary people, not for special groups, and even it is not completely forbidden for ordinary people to visit, so in general it is still an open-ended website.

In other words, while the person who wants to catch the "puppeteer" is here discussing how to catch him, maybe the "puppeteer" himself is hiding in it, participating in the discussion of the details.

This is not impossible, because theoretically speaking, he, the "criminal" who walks on the tip of the knife, is far more concerned about intelligence than normal people.

"I've met him twice, and after getting in touch, I have a valuable piece of information to share with you - you can try to go to the hospital to find clues.

As for the more detailed identity of the other party, my companion and I have already speculated, but after all, it involves the issue of bounty, so it is inconvenient to go into detail here. ”

So when Fu Jixianli posted this passage, the puppeteer, who didn't know where he was and was sitting in front of the computer screen, probably saw this message at the first time, and interpreted it too deeply, so that he discovered the possibility of his own exposure and realized the threat posed to him by the person who provided this information.

Fu Jixian was still saying later, "We have roughly guessed the identity of the other party", and this kind of words had to make the other party vigilant, for a very simple reason - the "puppeteer" had contact with some people when he was wearing the mask of the "puppeteer", and when he took off the mask and restored his original appearance, he also had contact with the same person, which of course would be in danger of being exposed.

Of course, even if the "puppeteer" knows about the existence of such a post, he doesn't know who the person who posted it is, which is something that needs to be verified.

…………

On the other side, after Fu Ji Xianli sent the "information" he made up to that website, he asked Manaka Aoi, "Sister Aoi, does anyone know about your ID?" ”

"Some people should know that I was quite active for a while......"

Fu Jixian nodded, "That's good." ”

If Aoi Manaka has been "diving", it would be difficult to say, it is always difficult for people to find out if she hides too deeply, but if she has been active, the situation is just the opposite - she will always leave some clues, and smart people will find out her identity through the traces she has left.

Locking the IP doesn't seem to be such a difficult technique, and there is a possibility that Aoi's identity can be reversed...... This is what Fu Jixian needs.

"Are you trying to lure the other person out with this simple message? It's unlikely. Aoi Manaka took back her computer and said after seeing the new content.

"It's true that the information is vague, but that doesn't mean it's fake, or even that it should be true...... The puppeteer's activities are very frequent, and there are many people who have been poisoned by him, and since the other party has been killed, can he always be unscathed? So it's reasonable to speculate that he was injured.

As for speculation about his identity, in fact we have met him more than once, so is it impossible to have speculation about his identity? Considering that the person had targeted Aoi and taken action, I think he must have approached you before he did so...... And as long as he is close enough, it is possible to 'find each other', and when he sees you, you can see him.

So theoretically, he exposed a lot of information, and this kind of person will definitely be suspicious.

I wish the puppeteer would see what I sent. ”

Fu Jixian explained like this, and it seemed that what he was talking about was the Tao.

Aoi Mazhong couldn't help but nodded, she had to admit that after such an explanation, these words did make some sense, but then she reacted...... Why did Fu Jixian ask her so much just now?

"I see, it's kind of luring the snake out of the hole, but ...... Lijun, although fishing is a good way, but it's a bit bad to just use me as bait, right? Manaka Aoi looked at Fu Ji Xianli with a "dangerous" look.

If things really develop as smoothly as Fu Jixian guessed, then the "puppeteer" will definitely track down the identity of Shinaka Aoi in order not to expose her identity, so won't she be in danger?

All it can be said is that she is indeed hooked on the fishhook, waiting to be bitten by something nasty.

Fu Jixian looked back at Manaka Aoi with a "you know" look, and then said unhurriedly, "Sister Aoi...... Forty million yen, understand? ”

"Forehead ......"

Sister Aoi understood, she realized that being a man still requires dedication, and everyone should contribute to the stability of the "superpowered society".

"These days we are bound to act together until the puppeteer is caught by us, or caught by someone else, or is sure that the other person is a smart and absolutely rational person, and he is not fooled by my fake news." Fu Jixian said again.

Of course, he can't really just let Aoi Manaka go fishing and then fall into a dangerous situation, he still has to take on the role of "bodyguard".

In short, after placing such a salty and not light bait, Fu Ji Xianli and Zhenzhong Aoi's "hunting" operation began...... Uh, is it getting started?

Let's start with an appropriate name for the action, just "luring the snake out of the hole", which is concise and close to reality.

…………

After three days in a row, the duo of "Operation Huddle" did not actually take any concrete action.

But they could still feel a certain boiling atmosphere, and although their daily lives were the same and unchanged, the messy information from that small website indicated that there were indeed many people doing the same thing.

Later in the day, when the store closes, Fu Ji Kenri and Aoi Manaka go out together for a "walk in the dark" - in fact, they are driving around Tokyo.

And just when it was almost the early hours of the morning, Aoi Manaka, who was driving the car in a boredom, suddenly vibrated a few times, and then she picked up the phone and looked at it, and then immediately became energetic.

"Lijun has a situation, someone has found a trace of the suspected 'puppeteer', but he can't deal with the other party himself, and now he is asking for assistance."

Fu Jixian immediately asked, "Where?" Is the message exact? ”

"It's not far from here, as for the real or the fake...... Just take a look. Aoi Manaka put down his phone, then shifted gears with one hand and stepped on the accelerator with one foot, "Lijun, sit tight." ”

The car swooped out with a whoosh.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped somewhere, and the two got out of the car and ran towards an alley in the city's buildings.

This dark environment looks very familiar, and Fu Jixian can only say that this kind of place is very suitable for two things - beating up hooligans, and high-yield investment and financial management.

After running some distance into the depths of the alley and turning another corner, Aoi Manaka, who was slightly in front of him, suddenly stopped, and at the same time reached out to stop Fu Ji Xianli from continuing to rush forward.

Fu Jixian paused, and then he sniffled, smelling the bloody temperature in the cool air around him.

After fixing his gaze on the road not far ahead, Fu Jixian found a figure lying on the ground.

The two looked at each other, then slowly leaned over.

Aoi Manaka squatted down and straightened the other party's neck slightly, and found that the person was dead because of the wound to his chest.

In the small alley, the pavement was sprinkled with his blood.

"Man died, not long after he died."

Feeling the temperature on the other party's skin that is not much different from his own, Manaka Aoi said.

Fu Jixian nodded, and then whispered, "Keep looking." ”

A series of bloody footprints were left on the ground and spread to the front, and Fu Ji Xianli and Manaka Aoi continued to move forward while paying attention not to sticking such marks on their feet and preparing to take a look at the situation ahead.

After walking forward for a few dozen meters, and after turning a corner, Fu Ji Xianli and Manaka Aoi saw another corpse, but this time their attention was not on that corpse.

Because there was another person standing in front of the corpse, it was clear that the battle had just ended.

Looking at the four special "limbs" of two long and two short, two up and two down and two male open behind that person, Fu Ji Xianli and Zhenzhong Aoi naturally judged each other's identities - there is no doubt that this is the "puppeteer".

I didn't expect the other party to appear in front of him again so soon, at this moment, Fu Ji Xianli didn't feel that he and Zhenzhong Aoi had gone out of shit luck, but just the opposite...... He was a little puzzled, did things go too well? It went a little more smoothly than the two expected.

But now that we've met, it doesn't seem like the time to think through the details.

At this time, although the "puppeteer" was showing off the four limbs behind him, his right arm was hanging weakly at his side, looking light and fluttering and unable to exert force, obviously he was also injured in the battle just now.

I don't know if he bleeds, and whether there is a possibility of identifying the other party's real identity by blood. Anyway, after solving a duo, the "puppeteer" meets another duo, and it's a familiar duo...... It can only be said that he seems to be a little unlucky.

This man looked the same as before, except that this time he had a monocle on his left eye for some reason - was it an ornament? Or is this a grasp of the starting point of the pop element?

"Long time no see, you ......" Fu Jixian took a step forward, blocking Manaka Aoi behind him, and then prepared to make an opening statement.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the other party took action...... He didn't say a word, just turned around and walked away.

Fu Ji Xianli: "......"

Isn't this person too rude, so wait for him to finish speaking?

"It's all old acquaintances, don't you say hello?"

What Fu Jixian just wanted to say was "It's been a long time, are you okay, have your tentacles grown up again", and could only say that it was a wise move for the other party to choose to reject his nonsense and just leave.

"Less nonsense, hurry up." Zhenzhong Aoi pushed Fu Jixian, and then he realized that he should chase forward at this time, "This person is injured, the opportunity is rare, for my fourth ...... In order to completely solve this hidden danger. ”

Although he was slightly injured, the "puppeteer" still moved very fast, using his two slender limbs as support points to move at high speed, and he appeared to be very agile in the narrow alley.

Zhenzhong Aoi is a normal person, at this time she is a little unable to keep up, Fu Ji Xianli simply stopped her by the waist and hugged her, and then chased after her at a faster speed - the other party's way of moving is indeed a bit like Spider-Man, but the distance of each move is not so far, and Fu Ji Xianli, this kind of "octopus", when the tentacles are upside down like Hot Wheels, the speed is undoubted.

But I don't know why, no matter how Fu Jixian accelerated, the puppeteer was still hanging in front of him, not too far and not too close.

In the middle, I don't know if it was an illusion, Fu Jixianli felt a feeling of gravity upside down, but this feeling disappeared in an instant.

Chasing after him, Fu Jixian felt that he had been running for almost an hour, and at this time, no matter how dull he was, he should be able to sense that something was wrong.

The next moment, the figure of the puppeteer disappeared, and before he disappeared, he seemed to stop deliberately and waved goodbye to Fu Ji Xianli and Shinaka Aoi.

"Sister Aoi, something seems wrong...... Take a look around. ”

Fu Jixian carefully observed the surroundings, and then found the problem...... Is this really the real world?

Although the surrounding urban buildings are still buildings, everything is a monotonous black and white, like ...... I didn't have time to color the computer city modeling.

Fu Ji Xianli thought about this familiar scene carefully, and then said, "I think I probably know what kind of place this is, Sister Aoi, we seem to be trapped." ”

After seeing the situation around her, Mazhong Aoi was also a little blind, so much so that she forgot to let Fu Ji Xianli put her down first, "This is ...... Where? ”

"Oh, I guess it......

'The Dream of the Old Gods'. ”

These two people seem to have been fooled.

Fu Ji Xianli and Manaka Aoi want to solve the puppeteer, and similarly, the puppeteer seems to want to quickly solve these two people who may know his identity.

Needless to say, the "fishing" operation should have been successful, but who caught whom? It turned out to be the other way around.

Different from the feeling of a narrow place in the ancient well last time, this time the two of them seem to have run directly into the deepest part of the dream, and the key thing is that the ancient well has a clear exit, but what about this place? Where is the exit?
