At night, in the southeast of the Old Town. Gu Chenxi was standing on the roof of an old building, wearing a battle suit, scanning the geography of the area through the blindfold of his mask.

There are mostly narrow roads and small alleys around, and there are many cables tangled in a mess on old cement telephone poles, and only some dim street lamps shine on the street, and occasionally a few pedestrians can be seen.

"Are you sure the convoy passed back here?" Gu Chenxi asked.

El's voice came from the communicator in the hood, responding: "Of course, the old city is not a place without surveillance, and there are only a few roads that can be walked. ”

In the cave, El leaned back in his chair with his hands behind his head and said.

"The last time the road out of the port was robbed by you, and they were in a hurry to transport things, and they changed to small and medium-sized trucks just to take a narrow road, and there are not many routes that can be changed, and they will definitely pass through this neighborhood."

Hanning is a coastal city in the north, bordered by the sea to the east, mountains to the south, and plains to the northwest. There is a bridge across the river in the south of the city, which leads directly to the highway, and under the bridge is a Yangtze River, which connects with the sea. And the secret base of the two of them, the cave, is just outside the city south of the city, near the mountains.

Gu Chenxi's current location is the only way out of the East Port, and the two of them estimate that the gang of three intends to intercept the goods here and escape to the north of the city. As long as the Gang of Three can reach the new city and intercept them before they reach the Sixth Ring Road in the north of the city, they can skip the busy area with dense police forces and evacuate back to the cave from the south.

After inspecting the rooftop, he said, "It's not enough, if they are very agile in their means of transportation, there are still many ways to get out of here." There's only one chance to intercept and they're going to have alternate routes, so we're going to make sure we stifle those possibilities. ”

After thinking for a moment, El said that he could use blind spots to try to make traffic lights skip frames, creating a 'domino effect' through a series of delays to change the local traffic situation.

In this way, it would be possible to ensure that there was only one possible evacuation route left for them, and that they would only have to intercept that route.

[It's nice to have a great hacker on my side.....]

Gu Chenxi sighed in her heart.

"How's the scenery over there?"

"It's not bad, it's peaceful." Gu Chenxi stretched, yawned and said, "If I can, I want to evacuate before half past eleven." ”

El raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"It's May 28 after 0:00 today, and it's Zhang Jiajia's birthday."

"Shhh.....hhh ”

"I'm not lovers with her." Gu Chenxi immediately responded.

For letting Zhang Jiajia live there, he was partly out of care, partly out of guilt for using her as bait before, and a small part of his goodwill, mainly for food.

[She perfectly inherited her aunt's excellent genes]

"Then you're a hooligan, you're worse than I thought!"

Hearing Elle's crazy complaint in the headphones, Gu Chenxi shook his head helplessly. In addition to him, there are also Li Mu who love to complain around him, and he has been with the two of them for a long time, so that he always shakes his head, and his cervical spine is about to have problems.

Just as he was about to turn to leave, he suddenly heard a girl's scream from downstairs.

In a nearby alley, six or seven ruffians were surrounding two high school girls, cornering them. This generation has had several cases of human trafficking before, and only nearby residents choose to pass through here.

"Yo, little girl, play with my brother for a while." The leading ruffian smiled evilly, staring at their bodies with squinting eyes, "Brother has a good time, you have a good time." ”

The two girls stood by the wall, timidly hiding behind the other, and shook their heads vigorously. The girl standing in front of her emboldened herself and shouted at him, "Fuck your uncle!" If you don't want to eat deflated, get out of the way! ”

"Hey!" The leading ruffian rubbed his chin with his hand and teased excitedly: "This temper, brother likes it!" ”

The little girl hiding behind her saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to take out her mobile phone to call the police, but as soon as she took it out, she was snatched by the hooligan next to her.

"Ah!!h The girl screamed and cried, "Give it back to me!" ”

"Oh, don't be in a hurry to go, stay with my brother for a while, ahaha..."

With that, the ruffians leaned over to the two of them and grabbed their school bags and arms.

Suddenly! There was a jet sound overhead, and one of the ruffians was grabbed by a long hook lock, instantly pulling him into the air five meters high, causing him to scream in fright. Then the hook let go of the ruffian, and threw him to the ground.

The group suddenly lost interest and froze in place trying to figure out the situation. But before they could regain their senses, the sound of ropes turning and faint footsteps were heard in the darkness.

Vaguely, they felt a dark shadow pass through the air, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"What jumped off?"

They screamed in panic, and the two girls hid in the corner, shivering.

"Come out!" The leading ruffian yelled into the depths of the alley, "Don't fool your grandpa!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a dark shadow jumped down from the wall and pounced directly on the leader. The shadow grabbed him by the neck and slammed him against the wall.

Gu Chenxi's battle suit slowly changed color, reverting from the color of the cement wall to matte black, and the stripes flashed with bright light, until a light suddenly lit up in his eyes, and a tiger roared sound.

It was a new program that El had given him to make the suit react to changes in his mood, and the user's own low roar would pass through the mask's processor, emitting the low roar of an animal.

The Jörmungard suit is a product of the River Styx project, which senses the user's bioelectricity. In other words, it can read your body consciousness.

The ruffian's eyes widened in horror, and he tried to scream but was choked out of breath, and his legs flew straight into the air.

"Ahh Run! ”

The rest of the thugs were also so frightened that they pulled up their legs and ran.

Gu Chenxi looked at their backs and felt a little funny. Seeing that the ruffian in his hand was pinched, he rolled his eyes, threw him aside, and knocked over several trash cans.

The two high school girls were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably. Compared to the gang of hooligans, the one in front of him is even more terrifying.

"Why don't you run?" Gu Chenxi asked, his voice passing through the mask's processor, like a hoarse demon.

The timid girl grabbed her friend's arm tightly and said with a cry: "I.... My legs are weak..."

Gu Chenxi sighed and pressed a switch under the mask, and then the pair of blindfolds retracted into the mask, revealing his eyes.

He slowly walked up to the girl, squatted down and stretched out his left hand, and said in his original voice, "Get up, it's time to go home." ”

When the two students saw his eyes and heard the clean voice, they felt much less shocked. The girl grabbed his hand and stood up with her friend, slapping the dust off her body.

"Let's go... Let's go..."The other girl was obviously still afraid of him, and pulled the timid girl and walked away quickly.

As she walked out of the alley, the timid girl looked back at him and said thank you.

"Yes, there's another urban legend." El complained again on the communicator.

"Didn't you suggest? Be a superhero. Gu Chenxi replied.

"I'm really flattered."

Gu Chenxi turned around and walked to the depths of the alley, and when he passed the ruffian lying on the ground, he deliberately stepped on his crotch, which hurt the man a lot more soberly.

"What time is it?" He asked, pulling out the grappling hook gun from his waist and shooting at the railing of the rooftop. With the turn of the rope, he reached the eaves in less than three seconds.

"It's just eleven o'clock."

"Exactly." Gu Chenxi left the neighborhood and walked in the direction of the parked motorcycle, "Remember to remind me to bring a cake when I go back." ”

Approaching midnight, Gu Chenxi returned to the rooftop of the building, he walked to the front of the house, pushed open the door and walked in.

Turning on the light, he saw the sleeping Zhang Jiajia lying on the sofa, with a mask on his face, his left hand hanging down from his body, and his feet facing the sky were really funny.

Gu Chenxi put the cake on the table and tiptoed over. When he got closer, he heard the girl purring slightly, like a piglet. The boy crouched on the head of the couch and looked at her with interest.

"Huh~~ Lulu....." Suddenly, Zhang Jiajia opened her eyes and sat up suddenly, hitting Gu Chenxi's chin.

"Ahh The girl felt a pain in her head and rubbed her hand, "What is it.....?"

On the other side, Gu Chenxi curled up on the ground with her nose covered, trembling all over.

Zhang Jiajia tore off the mask on her face, opened her eyes, saw Gu Chenxi who fell to the ground, and asked, ".... Ay? Senior? What are you doing there? ”

He slowly got up from the ground and startled Jiajia when he turned around. I saw that Gu Chenxi's nose was bleeding, and after covering it with his hand, it stained half of his face.

"Yikes! Senior, why did you get so many nosebleeds? ”

Seeing that the girl was a little dazed, she should not have fully woken up yet. She hurriedly stood up and ran to get him some tissues.

[She.... She did it on purpose, right? Was that a flash just now? ]

Gu Chenxi took the tissue, wiped the blood on his face, and then walked to the bathroom and flushed his face. After the baptism of cold water, he felt much better, and staggered back to the living room.

"I'm sorry.... I remember, I hit you. Jiajia sat on the sofa and looked at him apologetically, "You... Okay? ”

"No... It's okay. Gu Chenxi shook his head and threw the paper used to stuff his nose into the trash, "Are you having a nightmare?" ”

"Ahh I'm dreaming of the black hood again...."The girl scratched the back of her head as if she were used to the nightmare.

Hearing this, he paused for a moment, and the guilt came back to him. Then he sat down across the table and opened the outer packaging of the cake box. On the cake is written 'Happy Birthday to Jiajia'.

"Wow~~~ Thank you, senior." The girl rubbed her hands happily.

Gu Chenxi lit the birthday candles, turned off the lights in the room, and then put the braided birthday crown on her head. When his hand touched her hair, the girl shrunk her neck slightly, her face flushed.

He sat across from her, across the table, the candlelight on the cake and the girl's reddish cheeks, as if everything around him had vanished, leaving only each other's smiles.

"Oh! That's right. ”

The girl suddenly remembered something, got up and ran barefoot into the bedroom, and after tossing for a while, ran out with a gift box.

"I also have a gift for you, as a thank you for lending me a place to live."

Gu Chenxi became interested, took the box and put it on the table to open it. Inside the box is a pair of black biker finger breakers, and in the palm of the hand is a Batman logo, in the shape of Nolan's version of the batrang.

"I... I saw some models of Batman in the study before, and I thought you would like it. And I often see you riding a motorcycle without gloves, so I buy you a pair. ”

Gu Chenxi smiled slightly, to be honest, since he came to Hanning City, this is the first time that someone other than the 'Waste Gang' has given him a gift. He looked up at the girl and said softly, "Thank you." ”

Sometimes, the world isn't as rosy as it's celebrated, but it's not that bad either.
