The shallow layer of the shadow world, somewhere on the street of Yandu.

The morning sun overhead was releasing an illusory hazy glow without heat, and Zhao waited for a long time on the empty and quiet street for Alex and Otto to arrive.

The tower-like old hunter was carrying the unhappy, swearing-looking Otto from behind the black limousine on the corner of the street, carrying him like a chicken in his left hand.

"Oh! Keeping you waiting! I'm so sorry my friend! Alex walked over the black limousine to Zhao Xida, stretched out his free right hand and tried to hug each other warmly to apologize, but after seeing Zhao Xida quietly take two steps back to avoid it, he scratched his head and laughed when he realized the difference between men and women: "On the way here, Otto was a little angry, and he didn't want to go out, so he delayed a lot of time to persuade him to go out." ”

“FNNDP！ Look at your hand holding my collar and say it again! Is this what you call 'persuading me to go out'? Otto, still being carried by the collar, danced with emotion, struggling and yelling, "Shit! I said I didn't want to risk it with you! Who the hell cares about the battle between you and the 'Master' and the Society of Truth! If you want to die, you can die yourself! Don't pull the labor and management ......"

But before he finished speaking, Otto swallowed the following qualities back into his stomach.

Because Alex showed him a smile that he thought was kind, but was actually hideous and terrifying: "Otto, you can't swear in front of others, this is the most basic politeness and respect for people." ”

"I'm ......" Otto almost scolded with a swear word, he wanted to curse very much now, during the time he was operating with the old hunter, he was more than once subjected to this violent coercion of the other party, this humiliation of being forced to obey the other party, this psychological shadow of trembling and living under violence and fear all the time has turned into a nightmare, tormenting his spirit all the time. Even in his dreams, he was not at peace, and he often dreamed of Alex's burly and sturdy figure, forcing him to sit obediently in the terrifying dream of ideological education class.

Thinking back on his past experiences, Otto only felt a nameless fire rise in his heart and rush straight into his mind.

Does he have to go on like this? Do you have to live in the shadow of each other all the time? No! He, Otto, was killed by Alex! Die in the shadow world, thrown down by the old hunter from a tall building! I will never give in to the other party again!

The time of revolt is today!

In an instant, Otto only felt anger rise from his heart, evil to the side of his guts, and the thunderous anger dispelled the fear of the old hunter in his heart, and the thoughts and thoughts in his mind were actually reflected in his body and began to take concrete actions, and the thousands of swear words that surged in his chest finally converged into one sentence.

"I ...... I see, pay attention next time! ”

Remembering the fate of the otherworldly creatures who had been taught to break their legs, Otto shrank in shame and succumbed to the violence and threats Alex had shown.

Sure enough, it's more important to live, I call learning the wisdom of my ancestors, and I'm trying to taste the courage of my salary! Definitely not scared...... Otto kept hypnotizing himself in his heart, finding a more acceptable reason for his withdrawal behavior.

Zhao Xida nodded, and didn't care about the short-term trick between Otto and Alex, although this level of tricking was very novel, but since she came to Wu Ming's house to live temporarily, she not only had to fight wits and courage with Elizabeth who was full of whimsy every day, but also always controlled Wu Ming, who was prone to deviate from his thinking and then messed around with Elizabeth, so he already had a very great resistance to the weird scenes in this regard.

She immediately brought the topic to business: "Straight to the point, I heard that you have found traces of the activities of the Truth Society?" ”

"Yes." Seeing that the other party began to cut to the chase, Alex no longer bothered about Otto's question for a while, turned his head to Zhao Xida and said, "That's the case, I have been following reliable news channels to track down the traces of the Truth Society a while ago. ”

As he spoke, he smiled and glanced at Otto, whose eyes changed a little, but he never answered, just snorted coldly and turned his head away.

"Of course, you also know the specific results, and with the 'Master' already alert, several attacks against members of the Truth Society have ended in failure. So far, the progress has only been to catch a few people who have leaked out of drugs, but as far as I know about the 'master', these personnel must have been squeezed out of their use value before throwing out their residual heat, and this conjecture was indeed confirmed in the subsequent interrogation. ”

Zhao Xida didn't interrupt Alex's words rashly, and silently watched him continue to narrate.

"They were indeed thrown out to exert their residual heat after losing their use value, since you destroyed the Immortal Village, the Truth Society has no longer rationed them Truth Pills, nor has it required them to flow Truth Pills to the youth student group, and even in the end, they can no longer contact their past Truth Society compatriots, they rely on the inventory in their hands to flow the remaining extraordinary medicines into the society, in fact, it can only be regarded as a personal act."

At the end, Alex added: "And after using the transcendent technique to travel through the dream realm to investigate, I also found that the sudden disappearance of people in Yandu is on the rise, most of them are students, young people who have just entered the society, and migrant workers. They will suddenly disappear one day, and then quietly reappear the next day, and others will not be able to detect the disappearance of someone, and they will not leave a vivid memory in reality, as if these people did not exist in the world during the disappearance, and only some records have been preserved in the form of dreams......"

"I see." The puppet girl's eyes flashed a character, and in an instant, she had already calculated the conclusion, "They are gradually recovering ordinary people who have taken medicine, and carrying out mass transcendent transformation on them, do you have a general tracking direction?" ”

"That's right." Alex's face became serious, "I took a lot of effort to catch a few young students who suddenly disappeared and quietly returned, and then extracted some bits and pieces of information from their dreams, narrowed down the search area, and further found not only more clues of psyker activities, but even traces of 'master'. ”

Traces are a term used by hunters to describe the residual traces left by their prey in the environment, including smells, footprint marks, and extraordinary strength traits left after the battle.

Zhao Jida looked at Alex: "What do you mean ......?"

"Split up, you go after the trail of the psyker's activities, and follow the vine to see if you can uproot the truth." The old hunter pointed at Otto, motioning for him and the Doll Girl to act together as a group, and then at himself, "And I, to deal with the 'Master' so that he has no time to take care of your actions." ”
