Chapter Eighty-Four: Tracking

Deken's struggle lasted for at least ten minutes, and in order to avoid people's eyes, Su Jing and Xing Batian dragged him into the toilet, and then placed a "under maintenance" triangle at the door.

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

As Dark Wolverine's body gradually softened, Su Jing used that bone claw to cut open his chest, exposing the heart. It wasn't until he was sure that the thing had indeed stopped throbbing before he let go of Daken's limbs.

"Another family tragedy, a psychopathic human tragedy caused by the shadow of childhood, and then it died at the hands of the two of us...... I said, what kind of pervert must have an unhappy childhood? What do Marvel's writers think? Almost every powerful person has a tragic and unfortunate past, not only Daiken, but also his father Wolverine, his relative Miss X23, Wolverine also slaughtered a large number of his own sons and daughters with his own hands - is the screenwriter trying to take revenge on society or what? ”

"I think the tragedy looks more deep, and the conflict can create the tension of the drama?" Xing Batian carefully placed Dai Ken against the wall, wiped the blood from his face, and closed his wide-eyed eyes, "It's a pity, he's also a powerful martial artist...... Do you think there will be other disruptors after him? ”

"This ...... Probably not. Su Jing frowned, "I think even a level of Deken has come out, and if there is a stronger one, or a level with him, we won't be able to beat it." There shouldn't be a follow-up, if there really is, just leave it to Miss Loreira and them, anyway, those two people are much better than us. ”

The two stood up a little tiredly, Su Jing picked up the mop and began to wipe the blood on the ground, while Xing Batian quickly ran out of the toilet and went to the business car they had rented before to find something that could destroy the corpse and come back.

Su Jing was sweeping the blood and water on the floor with a mop, and suddenly a series of black flames ignited on the floor, he didn't look back, and greeted behind him: "Miss Loreira, isn't Carl Lace's speech not over yet?" ”

"Anyway, it's her who is the main speaker, so I'll come out and clean up the garbage."

The red-haired woman stood at the door of the men's restroom, looking inside with her hands folded.

“…… Miss Lorela, I'm not very happy with this arrangement. Su Jing pondered the wording, "We two miscellaneous fish are fighting to death outside, and you, a master who can blow Deken to death with a single breath, are telling jokes to a group of college students who don't know anything about fart inside." I have to say that this division of labor is quite unscientific, I have a knack for making people laugh, let me go in and host, maybe I will do a good job. ”

Loreira snapped her fingers, extinguishing the flames on the ground. The gray floor tiles of the bathroom were back in polish, except for the lifeless body of Deken, leaning against the wall, motionless. The red-haired woman smiled and said:

"Why don't you see this as an opportunity? Mr. Sue? The Lord Monarch and I are both watching the battle outside, I trust you, I trust you and Mr. Xing's combat effectiveness. We have the ability to protect you when you are in real danger, so ...... Just treat this as a training for a difficult battle, and now it's Deken who is lying on the ground, not you, do you still have any dissatisfaction in the face of such an outcome? ”

Su Jing let out a long sigh and said, "I think this time I work for someone...... It's a big loss. ”

Loreira chuckled, "Don't be angry, Mr. Su, I guarantee that Miss Carl Lace will give you satisfactory compensation." ...... that will allow you to get stronger faster. Compensate. ”

Xing Batian walked in with a black plastic bag, then pocketed Deken's body, and then carried the body bag to his shoulder, ready to be transported back to the van.

"By the way, I'll deal with the few mutants who are controlled outside, you two, there's a new mission." Loreira smiled and said, "Please look up the origins of these characters, I believe it will be an interesting adventure for you." And it will also save a little bit of energy for the Lord - to tell you the truth, the Lord has been temporarily weakened a lot because she is facing an advanced Omega-level mutant, and I hope that she will be as distracted as possible now...... Among the beginner adventurers, the abilities of the two are second to none in my opinion, whether it is Mr. Xing's courage or Mr. Su's adaptability, you all have very good abilities, and I am very optimistic about you. ”

——————————————

“…… So, did we really start working as a part-time detective? ”

Five minutes later, Su Jing and Xing Batian stood on the campus of Columbia University, looking at each other.

"Why do I always feel ...... Something seems wrong? What does this Loreira say, what do we have to do? Xing Batian said with a frown.

"It's simple. First, we can't beat her hand together. Second, I guess we were hit with some kind of mental hypnosis, or suggestion, in the first place...... Just like the mutants who were sent to their deaths to cause trouble, it's just that Miss Carl Lace exerts a more subtle and gentle mental influence on us. Su Jing pointed his head with his finger, "I also unlocked the first layer of 'communication' ability, and I barely felt a little bit after my mental strength increased." This hypnotism is very gentle, but it just makes us more receptive to Carl Lace and Lorela's opinions...... Let us not be disgusted with them, but instinctively trust them. ”

"So...... It's a little bit. Xing Batian clenched his fists, "If it were me in normal times, I would definitely be very angry when I heard someone trying to manipulate my mind, but even if I know about this matter now, I still can't mention my hostility towards them...... Is this the effect of mental power? It's horrible......"

Su Jing bit his finger and shook his head, "No, it's not so exaggerated, the main thing is that they have always been friendly to us and haven't given us particularly unreasonable instructions, so we won't feel too strong a sense of disobedience." ”

Even if this conclusion was discussed, it would not help the two of them in their current situation, and at the end of the day, the two had to really start looking for traces of the previous attackers.

The unique ...... "spicy" feeling on Dark Wolverine Daiken made Su Jing particularly impressed. He turned on his telepathic and enhanced sense of smell with all his might, and pursued Deken's scent all the way, and finally found a large container truck on the street corner not far from the university gate, and the door was unlocked.

The driver's seat at the front of the car was empty, Su Jing sat in, rummaged through the locker at the front of the car for a long time, and found the driver's license, which was a common name named Tom Vincent.

Xing Batian unscrewed the lock of the cargo box in the back and opened the back door, which was empty, except for a few beer bottles and cigarette butts on the ground.

"Damn." Su Jing climbed out of the truck, raised his head in the air and sniffed.

"Can you trace the smell of these guys from the air? Search all the way back to their base? Xing Batian asked.

Su Jing's forehead was bruised, and he shouted angrily: "What are you and me? Hounds?! ”

"Now it's mainly ...... We don't have the resources. Xing Batian took out a cigarette and lit it, took it in his mouth and said, "If there is a satellite monitoring or something, it will be much more convenient." Now we don't have anything, just you and me, I'm still a little confident when it comes to fighting, but when it comes to investigating, ......"

Su Jing pondered for a while, then shook his head again.

"I thought at first, if the other side is a partner-oriented style, then maybe it will do some good if we drag those mutants who are still alive out and torture them on the street. But regardless of the social impact, it is clear that these guys were sent to die, and even if we split them up in the street, I don't think they would be good...... Also, I think I can find some clues from Deken's previous whereabouts, but in that case, I need to contact the ...... of the Technology Alliance."

Su Jing rubbed the corners of her forehead and connected to the communication with Selina, the octopus girl.

[Su Jing? What's the matter? 】

"Miss Serena? I'd like to ask you, you should be paying special attention to particularly powerful or dangerous mutants here. ”

【…… Well, that's right, what's wrong? 】

"Alright, Akihiro Daiken, Wolverine's son, are you keeping an eye on you?"

[Are you talking about the one who was beaten up last month and almost died?] Let me take a look...... Wait, it takes a little time to review the records...... Since his near-death in Queens, he has been missing for a while, about a week or so, and then a week later he has been frequent in ...... You make a note of the address. 】

Serena reported a series of addresses, and Su Jing listened silently without saying anything.

After he cut off the communication, Xing Batian cast an inquiring look.

"There's a clue, call a car, go."

Su Jing snapped his fingers, revealing an expression that was full of bamboo in his chest.
