Night fell again. The masked man jumps from building to building.

The wind passed by his ears, under his ribs, between his fingers, and it made him feel like a free eagle soaring through the sky. The whole city lurked in the shadows, like an incomparably gigantic monster, and he was the only free factor on the back of this monster, sweeping his gaze to every corner of the city.

At the end of the day, he stopped at the edge of a seven-story building. The night wind blew the corners of his clothes to the sound of hunting, but no one in the street below could see it. A man has been caught, and he is whispering something to explain.

The wind sent the sound into his ears as he saw the man pull two injections out of his coat pocket and hand them to the enforcers who surrounded him. The law enforcer took advantage of the light of the flashlight to look at the handwriting, and the masked man saw it as well. Those were two pain-relieving injections...... It can also be said to be drugs.

The enforcer pocketed it and gave the man a slap in the face. The voice was crisp and loud, and the man staggered and straightened up again. So he received a second slap in the face, followed by a third, then a fourth. It wasn't until his cheeks were red and swollen and the corners of his mouth were bleeding that the four enforcers kicked him down and walked away.

But it seems to make the person who was beaten happy – because he was not sent to prison. He got up from the ground and did not come home. After taking a puff of dark red spit, he bowed to his feet and ran somewhere along the shadows on both sides of the street.

The whole process is watched by the masked man, but he is also just watching.

It's a take-or-take deal, with no victims. Or rather, they are all "criminals".

So he jumped from building to building again. Like an eagle patrolling its territory.

It's a city of nearly a million people, and strange things happen every moment – even on the night of the curfew. Within two hours, he saw quite a few people. Some were caught and taken away, some were beaten, and others were lucky enough to do what they wanted to do.

But what neither the enforcer nor he saw was part of a many. The masked man didn't find a chance – a chance that would allow him to do justice. He hadn't found anyone completely "innocent" tonight.

So he slowly wandered around the palace. The neighborhood is full of wide avenues, but the buildings on either side are not tall – no higher than the spire of the palace.

However, just as his feet landed on the roof of a building, he saw a man. A young woman, hidden in the shadow of the railing on the rooftop, was looking intently in the direction of the palace. She watched so intently that she didn't notice that the masked man had walked behind her.

Then she heard a voice behind her: "You know, the people on patrol don't always walk down the street. They may also come to the roof on a whim to have a look. ”

The woman's body trembled slightly, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye. But the masked man grabbed a handful of the void on the left and pulled the woman out of the void by the arm.

"I'm not them." The masked man said quickly. "Just a reminder for you."

Without saying a word, the woman jumped again. This time, however, the masked man appeared with her on the street on the other side of the building.

"Don't do that. There are sensors around here. The masked man reminded again.

The young woman gasped slightly, and ran silently into the shadows of an alley beside the street. But the masked man is not far behind.

The woman finally stopped, leaned her back against the wall, and looked at the masked man with wide eyes. Wheezing and saying, "Who the hell are you?" ”

"You don't know what to say about me?" The masked man seems to be a little surprised.

"I know you. But that's what I'm asking. Who are you? You're—"

The woman's words were interrupted. The masked man stepped forward with interest: "You are a member of the organization? ”

A dangerous light suddenly erupted in the woman's eyes. But it soon dimmed—she knew she couldn't subdue the man.

"Aren't you?" She asked rhetorically.

But instead of answering positively—in fact, it was an answer—he shifted the subject: "I found you looking at the palace." Are you going to assassinate the Emperor? ”

The woman pursed her lips, looked left and right with her peripheral vision, and after being convinced that there was really no escape route, she gritted her teeth and said, "I said no." Do you believe it? ”

"Huh. Of course I do. The masked man took two or three steps back, keeping the distance between the two men to such an extent that he no longer felt oppressive to the other, saying, "You can't kill him." No one can. ”

Unconvinced, the woman was about to refute, but she knew that the other party was telling the truth. She hesitated for a moment between slipping away immediately and staying, and then spoke discouragedly, "I just want to try my luck." I wondered if the emperor would go out for a walk at night, and I had something to say to him. ”

The masked man was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly, "You girl is very interesting. Tell me, what are you going to say to him? ”

The woman stared at him for a moment before she said, "I want to talk to him." I want to tell him not to be an emperor, not to have a curfew, not to classify people according to their ability - just like goods. I also want to tell him that many officials are corrupt now, and they are not as good as he thinks. ”

The mask of the masked man has no visible expression. But from the sound of his voice, he could tell that his interest was getting stronger. He asked, "How do you know the way, and he doesn't know the way?" ”

"Because he wasn't like that!" The woman said excitedly, "He used to be my hero - he must not know how hard we are now!" I don't know if those people under him have done bad things! ”

The masked man was silent for a moment and shrugged, "How old are you this year?" ”

"Seventeen years old. What's wrong? The woman asked menacingly—as if she had already known what the other party was asking her age for.

"So you're awakening your own abilities." The Kamen Man sighed slightly, "Your abilities are rare. But I have to advise you if you continue like this...... It's a pity that you're capable. You can jump around, but there are ways for others not to let you jump. Like now. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the alley lit up.

Not illuminated by lights. It's some kind of dark blue light.

The light came from two small square boxes on the walls on either side of the entrance to the alley—the surfaces of the two small things were dancing with electric light, and soon joined into a line, and then the line swept through the narrow space at the speed of light, and the woman was swept by it, and instantly felt that something was missing from her body.

When she saw three more men in black suits appear at the mouth of the alley, she realized that she was blocked by agents from the Security Bureau. She subconsciously intends to activate her abilities, but finds herself temporarily transformed into a normal person.

The masked man stepped forward, blocked her behind, and turned his head to ask, "What's your name?" ”

The woman froze for a long time, until she saw one of the agents walking towards her with a pistol in hand. Only then did he say, "Victoria." ”

The masked man was stunned for a moment. Only then did I see that this girl was a mixed race.

But at this moment, she had a resolute expression on her face, as if she really planned to die in this alley with the person in front of her.

The agent ten meters away raised the muzzle of his gun: "Raise your hands, turn around, lean against the wall, take your time." ”

But the masked man didn't do so. He was even in the mood to continue to say to Victoria: "I don't know if you're lucky or unlucky tonight." ”

Without hesitation, the agent fired a shot, hitting the masked man in the forehead.

However...... Then there was the sound of ricocheting in the alley - it seemed that the bullet had passed through the masked man's head and hit the wall.

But seeing the mask of the masked man intact. The agent immediately figured out what was going on - the man was moving too fast. It's faster than the human retina can capture.

The agent didn't panic. He took two steps back with his gun. made a gesture. So a blonde man in the middle slammed his hands down - there was silence between heaven and earth.

The area is near the Masked Man and Victoria. The flow of time has been slowed down tenfold.

"Kill him." Said the time-manipulating agent. The three of them agreed. Because they realize that even a small force field limiter can't weaken Kamenat's power - his abilities are infinitely close to that of the king.

Just as the two people next to him raised their guns, Victoria slowly opened her mouth and said, "You ......"

The agent fired. Two bullets are fired into the masked man's forehead - the moment the bullets enter the slow range. The Time Manipulator has removed his abilities. This means that the reaction distance left for the masked man is only twenty centimeters, which is equivalent to a person shooting him in the head.

However, both bullets were taken together, and the three agents didn't even see each other's movements.

Without hesitation, the time manipulators once again slowed down the flow of time around them by a factor of fifteen. At this time, Victoria said the first word - "...... quickly"

The masked man moved. He shook his head like a normal person in the fifteen-fold slowdown time zone and said, "Well done. It's a pity that it's pointless. ”

At this point, the fingers of the two agents were pressed harder, and the trigger was pulled. Eventually, however, the bullets flew into the sky - they didn't see them as the Kamen rushed out of the slow zone, and all three of them lay on the ground before they realized that their guns had been taken from them.

It wasn't until this moment that Victoria finished finishing the third word, which added up to exactly one sentence: "You go quickly." ”

"Let's go, then." With a wave of his hand, the masked man shattered the generator attached to the wall, and the alley fell into darkness again.

Victoria looked at him in confusion, as well as at the three people on the ground. It had been no more than two seconds since the agent first fired, and she didn't know what had happened in those seconds.

“…… You killed them? She asked, wide-eyed.

"Not yet." The masked man said, "Do you want me to kill them?" ”

Victoria stared at the three of them for a moment and shook her head, "No." ”

The masked man laughed, "That's what it sounds like." Little girl, don't fight and kill. ”

Outside the alley, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps. Within ten seconds of the gunshot, reinforcements arrived. But the masked man grabbed one of Victoria's arms, and both of them disappeared into the void at the same time.

Five minutes later, two men appeared somewhere south of the city. Victoria didn't expect that Kamen Man still had the same amount of strength as herself, and that he was even more powerful. The discovery excites her, and then a vague feeling arises - what girl wouldn't be like that when faced with a powerful person who saved her life?

She couldn't make out the masked man's expression, but she could tell from his body language that the incident hadn't affected him - the other person seemed to be quite happy.

But his next words made Victoria less happy. He said, "You'd better hide these days." Do you have safe houses in your organization? ”

Victoria frowned puzzled: "For what?" Didn't you all knock those three people down? They can't see what I look like. ”

The masked man sat down on the edge of the rooftop terrace, facing the sea, and said to her, "They really can't see you clearly in that environment. The problem is, little girl, there are surveillance cameras near the palace. Otherwise, what do you think we will be blocked? How many times have you hid on the roof there? ”

Victoria pursed her lips and whispered, "It's just the second time." ”

The masked man turned to look at her and smiled, "That's it? If they didn't try to catch you until you showed up for the third time, they would have been court-martialed long ago. ”

Victoria was speechless, pinched the corner of her clothes awkwardly, and asked after a while, "How do you know so much?" ”

The masked man shrugged: "There are not many people who know the way, and they have all been locked up." ”

The sea breeze blows, bringing coolness and a slight smell of sea. Victoria sat on the edge of the rooftop like the masked man, her legs dangling back and forth. She felt that the man must be right.

But...... Her mind wasn't on it. She secretly turned her head to look at the person beside her. He was wearing a mask, and he didn't know what he looked like. But he has a good figure and a young voice - it is possible to say that he is the same age as himself.

However, he sometimes seemed old-fashioned in his words, and there was an unmistakable decisiveness in his words, which made her confused about the age of the other party.

So she thought about it for a long time before she mustered up the courage to ask, "What do you look like?" What is your name? ”

The masked man turned his head to look at her.

Victoria's heart jumped suddenly. She added, "Hmm...... You don't have to tell me. I know you're going to wear a mask—"

But the masked man raised his hand and took the mask off. What was revealed was a bland face. It's not good-looking, it's not ugly. It's okay to say he's twenty-one or twelve, it's okay to say he's twenty-eight or nine—it's a passerby's face.

Victoria stared at him for a moment, a little disappointed.

She heard the other party say again: "My name is Hao Fan." ”

She pursed her lips: "If you don't say it, you won't say it." ”

But Hao Fan laughed, took her hand and wrote two words on her palm: "It's not annoying." It's Hao Fan. ”

Victoria smiled embarrassedly, withdrew her hand, and felt that little disappointment in her heart just now disappeared: "Oh oh oh - how do you call it." It's interesting. ”

Hao Fan also smiled: "Maybe I felt so annoyed when I named it." (To be continued......)
