The chase that took place in the alleys and hidden places continued. The first step in the shadow project was to divert the attention of those who were stalkers away from the port area. But there are some risks associated with this, which can spur the enemy into some aggressive behavior when the other person realizes that they are going around in circles with them. However, Shadow has absolute confidence in his own skills, and in such alleys and buildings, he is sure that he can fight even if the opponent is a spellcaster like Cheese who has powers beyond common sense.

Turning a corner, the figures of the two of them changed to only Sparrow. The little sparrow, as if he had lost his partner, looked around blankly, and after a short pause began to walk like a crowded road. Leaving Sparrow alone was one of the riskier steps in the Shadow Plan, as it was clear that they wouldn't be able to put the Sparrow in a crowded "safe zone" so easily, which meant that whoever was following them would find a way to stop Sparrow from doing so while searching for Shadow's whereabouts.

Even for well-trained groups of assassins, reaction time is a must when they are faced with sudden changes. And the shadow was waiting for this short moment. The shadow was not arrogant, he never thought that he could use the cover of the little sparrow to hide his whereabouts from under the nose of the other party.

As a hunter in the dark, Shadow knows that when he can't get rid of the other party's tracking, blindly fleeing will only hasten his own death. This makes it necessary for him to find the stalker's weaknesses before he runs out of stamina, so that he can make the stalker realize that there is a price to pay if he continues to track, even if he doesn't start a head-on confrontation with the other party.

Catapulting out of the shadows where they were hiding, the shadow slammed into the ridge in the opposite direction to Sparrow. While the opponent is focusing most of his attention on the little sparrow, this sudden move can make the enemy confused. The shadow moved rapidly across the ridge as he searched for subtle changes in his surroundings with all his senses, hoping that he could use this test to figure out the number and location of his enemies.

However, reality disappointed the young killer, with no noise and no reflection on his clothes. The other party seems completely unmoved by the shadow's actions. They still lurk quietly in unnoticed corners, just silently watching the shadow show. But Shadow wasn't completely unprepared for the situation, and he had already stuffed the bag containing the information to Sparrow before he decided to split up. In order to let the little sparrow go, he can go directly to hand over the information to the cheese.

Unlike Shadow's anxiety, Sparrow was nervous right now, perhaps to be precise, the little sparrow felt that his heart could jump out of his mouth at any moment. For this child, even though his body is more adapted to this fast-paced action than those pampered young masters, the perennial malnutrition has made Sparrow's body a serious hidden danger. Before, he forced himself to keep up with the pace of the shadow, and even made an extremely physically energy-consuming action of climbing and climbing, which made the little sparrow a little unbearable.

But glancing out of the corner of his eye at the shadow running on the roof, Sparrow knew that now might be the most important turning point in his life. If he can complete the task given to him by the shadow, then whether it is the shadow, the boss behind him, "One-eye", or even Cheese will be impressed by his ability to act. Thinking of this, some strength poured out of the little sparrow's body.

The streets are not crowded at dusk, but there are still some people who want to pick up bargains in front of the vendors who are ready to pack up and go home. Most of them want to buy what they want at a lower price when these vendors are eager to go home, especially vegetables and fruits that cannot be stored for a long time, and the price is always very cheap at dusk.

Such a crowd is best suited to hide his whereabouts, and Sparrow is confident that if he can blend in with the crowds, he will be able to get rid of the most difficult hunters.

Twenty steps, the distance between the little sparrow's eyes and those who are concerned about their daily expenses. Sparrow felt his back and palms now drenched in sweat, his mind never more focused and less tense. But the risk is worth it. As long as you complete these short twenty steps and hand over the information in your arms to Cheese, then everything will be worth it.

Ten steps! The noisy crowd was almost close. Their stalkers didn't seem to care at all about Sparrow's movements, or that they didn't do anything to stop Shadow and Sparrow after they split up. This may mean that they have given up on tracking them. But it is also possible...... It's not that the other party is inactive, but that he doesn't care about this little trick at all.

Five Steps! Sparrow could even smell the sweat and inferior perfume in those crowds, and with just five more steps, he could disappear into the crowd. The little sparrow's tense nerves relaxed a little at this moment, and with such a short distance, it was too late for the other party to do something. Wait, and soon Sparrow will show them how stupid it is to underestimate a kid who grew up on the streets.

But that's when the unexpected happened. While the little sparrow was focusing most of his energy on defending himself against the pursuers behind him, a fat middle-aged man in a coarse plaid robe walked straight towards the child from the crowd. The man had a head that had lost most of its life, the last bits of his hair struggling to survive at the edge of his hairline, and his fat belly made the man look like a standing wine barrel. He was so fat, his arms alone were as thick as Sparrow's waist.

The man's jaw was shaking, as if he was chewing on something. He looked relaxed, exactly like a butcher who had just closed his butcher's shop and wanted to go to the tavern for a drink. This usual appearance prevented Sparrow from noticing the man in the first place, and by the time the little sparrow felt that something was blocking the light in front of him, it was already too late.

Although Sparrow wanted to dodge past this man at the first time, but I don't know if it was intentional, the fat man blocked Sparrow's path with his outstretched arms. There was no need to look up at each other's faces, the little sparrow knew that she was in trouble. Although the man is behind the crowd, in this noisy environment, even if he shouts for help, the people around him will not be able to find his place because of the huge size of the other party. If you want not to be caught by the other party, you can only rely on yourself.

The fat man looked down at the diminutive Sparrow, a cruel smile on his face, and it seemed to him that the little sparrow had no way to escape from his side. In fact, it is also true that a chronically malnourished child could not escape the control of an adult at such a close distance. But Sparrow was unwilling to give up, and his wit at the critical moment allowed the child to find the only way out of the desperate situation.

The little sparrow looked up and looked at the other party's smug smile, and he smiled too. Unlike the cruel laughter of middle-aged people, Sparrow's laughter is so mischievous. Life on the streets not only taught the little sparrow the skills of survival, but also the experience of witnessing countless fights also taught him what is the real weakness of man. Especially men. The small body would be advantageous if it was put to good use, and it didn't take much time to prepare, and Sparrow used all his strength to slam a punch into a certain position in front of him.

I didn't expect such a young child to have such a ruthless style, the middle-aged man's expression instantly changed from smug to mournful, and the fat face looked quite funny due to the rapid change of expression. The unbearable pain made the middle-aged man's knees subconsciously weak, and he covered his hands with his hands on the part where he had been hit hard, and his mouth was open but he couldn't scream because of the excessive pain.

Sparrow was tempted to say something to laugh at him, but Sparrow knew that now was not the time to do it. The pain slowed down the opponent's movements, but it also fostered the anger of his enemies, and he didn't want to be punched by a guy who looked like he weighed about four times his weight. The little sparrow took two steps to the left, bypassing the fat man, and finally blending into the crowd.

Feeling that he was safe for the time being, Sparrow subconsciously wanted to look back to see what was going on on the shadow's side. But perhaps it was a matter of sight, and no matter how much the little sparrow searched, he could not find the shadow on the surrounding roofs or among the eaves. The feeling of uneasiness urged the little sparrow to get out of here, and he had a hunch that the shadow might be in trouble while he was wrestling with the fat man.
