At night, Ge was in the underground hospital.

In the 'Woods' project laboratory.

Kate is drinking an energy drink to replenish her day's consumption.

She looked at Ryan, who was on a ventilator and was inhaling tranquilizers 24 hours a day, her eyes flickering.

Using her 'dream powers', Kate was awakened by Anttila after successfully bringing Ryan back to Goda.

Now that Ryan has inhaled a large dose of tranquilizer, even without Kate's ability to intervene, he will not wake up for a moment.

Dr. Cardosa was collecting blood for Ryan, and after the blood was drawn, Dr. Caddoza excitedly took the vial of blood down for testing, and instructed the nurse to collect another 200CC of blood for Ryan for the experiment.

"Thank you, Kate, you're doing a great job."

Anttila walked over, hugged Kate, kissed her on the head and said, "You're such a good boy." ”

Kate smiled, then raised her head and said, "Madam, this child is not simple, I can control even Luke." ”

"But this kid, he's able to resist my persecution."

"In the end, I had to bring him into my dreams to get him back."

Antilla nodded, "I know he's strong, and that's exactly why I need him." ”

"And here, he can be protected in the best possible way."

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

"Come on, now you have to go back."

"You must be very tired after a busy day, go back and rest."

Anttila affectionately takes Kate's hand and sends the student away.

After seeing Kate off, Anttila returns to the lab with a different face and finds Dr. Cardosa.

"Well, is this kid useful to you?"

Dr. Cardosa said as he stepped away from the microscope with a look of obsession.

"More than useful, he's a treasure!"

"You should come and see, Lady Antila."

"The composition of this little guy's blood is very different from that of other superhumans, and I can't detect the composition of chemical No. 5 in his blood."

Anttila was stunned: "Why is this happening, is he a natural superhuman?" ”

Dr. Cardoza excitedly said, "I can't rule it out, if that's the case, then he's an outlier." ”

However, it is also possible that he completely absorbed Chemical No. 5, which makes sense. Because only by absorbing it completely, can you awaken a more powerful ability. ”

"In terms of his performance, he has super strength, super defense, laser eyes and flight."

"What a luxurious combination of abilities."

"You must know that ordinary superhumans usually only have one superpower, and then use them in various aspects by digging deep into their superpowers."

"But in general, it's still the same ability, but in different forms."

But this child, like the motherland, shows a variety of abilities. In this way, it is possible for him to grow to the height of the Motherland, and given his age, it is possible for him to even surpass the Motherland. ”

The more Dr. Cardoza spoke, the more excited he became, and he ended up almost dancing.

"If he can grow to the height of the motherland, or even surpass the motherland, then I may kill him now." Anttila said in a voice that she could only hear.

"What do you say? Lady. Cardoza was so excited that he clearly didn't hear Anttila.

"Nothing, I mean, if he's as good as you say, then he'll be able to help us."

Antilla changed her tune, "I hope to see your research soon, doctor." ”

With these words, she left the laboratory.

Meanwhile.

In the campsite where the Super Academy was located before, it had become quiet, and after a day's time, the evidence that should be collected and the clues that should be found have been grasped by the police.

Now, apart from the cordon, there are only a few police officers patrolling here.

"You say, where are the robbers going to take the children?" A fat cop crouches in the corner, smoking a cigarette.

Next to him, his partner looked at his phone and said, "Who knows, I don't care, those are not ordinary children." ”

"I've heard from above that those are the children of rich families, and they must be able to pay the ransom, what the hell are we going to do with that."

The fat man muttered, "I don't have to worry about it, I just want to close the case as soon as possible, so that we don't have to guard this place where birds don't." ”

"It's nice here, I don't have to face that annoying Tony in the police station, I think it's good."

"Hey, we can't talk about it."

Suddenly, the fat man let out a 'huh' and stood up.

"How?"

"I don't know if it's dazzling, I seem to see a wolf." The fat man rubbed his eyes, "And it's a standing wolf." ”

His partner laughed, "Don't make me amused, Sanke, standing wolf, you think you're watching a movie." ”

The fat man shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe I'm dazzled, right?" ”

He wasn't dazzled.

Just behind the camp, in the forest, in the moonlight, a werewolf appeared.

With short gray-white hair and golden eyes that reflected the camp, the werewolf sniffed and then spat out human words.

"I smell something suspicious, well, they used to use anesthetic gas."

"Plus, there's the smell of cigars."

"The kids and the camp security probably won't smoke cigars."

"So it could be a robber."

Behind the werewolf, Azu walked out: "Very well, Levin, can you find out where these scents are coming from?" ”

The werewolf in front of him is exactly what Azu used the 'druid potion' to transform the wounded and disabled soldier Levin.

Not only can Levine turn into a werewolf, but he can also turn into a bear man and a harpy.

Each of the three forms has its own wonderful uses, with the werewolf form having excellent eyesight and a sensitive nose.

Azu brought him in to track down the robbers and find Ryan.

"Leave it to me, sir."

Levin sniffed hard, then pounced, he had found a clue.

Azu followed, and it wasn't long before they came to a grassy slope a few kilometers away.

With his sharp claws, Levin picked up a cigar from the grass and looked at Azu.

Azu nodded: "Keep looking." ”

Levine was active here, sniffing and sniffing in the grass, beside the trees, and on the rocks.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"This smell, it's a perfume."

"It's the smell of cologne."

"This way, sir." Levine rushed out, faster than lightning, and quickly sank into the forest.

Azu followed him closely, and soon they were on the road.

On the road, Levine lay on the road and found a brake mark.

The werewolf looked into the distance and galloped.

Azu moved behind him, and just like that, by late at night, they had crossed two states.

Colorado.

The small town of Snowmass.

Nestled in the western part of the Commonwealth, in the middle of the mountains and forests, this town is a world away.

Even late at night, it's still brightly lit.

Neon lights flicker in the night, and bars, restaurants and cafes hang all sorts of signs and lanterns in front of them.

In the bar, Azu can still hear laughter coming from the bar, and it is clear that the townspeople and tourists don't want to rest yet.

Levin, who had already lifted his werewolf form, opened the door of a bar with Azu in a low-key manner, and the sound inside the door suddenly surged.

Along with the sound comes the smell of beer and perfume mixed together.

Azu wondered if Levine would be able to find a target in this complex smell.

Levine confidently burrowed into the crowd, and when he stopped, Azu heard him say, "Found it." ”

Levine turned around, lowered his head and said, "Sir, at three o'clock, the guy in a leather jacket who is performing card skills is the person we are looking for." ”

"His scent appeared on the lawn."

Azu looked up and saw a yellow-haired man performing playing cards, attracting several young girls to watch.

Azu patted Levine: "Wait for me outside." ”

Levine nodded and left the bar.

With his hands in his trouser pockets, Azu slipped into the crowd and came next to the yellow-haired man.

As soon as he appeared, the man looked up, his eyes wary.

Azu took out a few dollars from his pocket and stuffed them into the neckline of a girl next to him: "Please have a drink with your sisters." ”

The hot girl looked at the amount of money in her chest, her eyes lit up, and she smiled, "They are not my sisters, but it doesn't matter, we can have a drink with you." ”

"No, a few drinks."

Azu smiled, pointed at the yellow-haired man and said, "No, I have something to do with this gentleman, and I don't want to be disturbed." ”

The girl said disappointedly, "Okay, but you are welcome to come to me at any time, my name is Judy." ”

She gave Azu a flying kiss and beckoned the other girls to walk to the bar.

The yellow-haired man said as he dealt the cards, "I don't seem to know you, man." ”

Azu pulled a chair and sat down, smiling: "It's not too early, I don't have the habit of staying up late, so let's make a long story short." ”

"Where are the children you took now?"

The yellow-haired man's action of dealing cards was obviously slow, but he kept moving, and said as he dealt the cards: "What are you talking about, man, you have drunk too much." ”

He picked up his two cards, looked at them, shook his head and sighed, "Shit." ”

The yellow-haired man suddenly shook the cards, making the two cards shoot towards Azu like flying knives, and he didn't look at the result, shaking out the cards and flipping them behind the sofa.

As soon as the two cards flew over the table, they suddenly burst into flames and turned into ashes.

The yellow-haired man flipped over the couch and didn't take any further action.

Azu calmly took out a banknote and threw it on the table, stood up and walked to the yellow-haired man, set him up and said, "You are drunk, brother, I will take you back." ”

The surrounding drinkers looked at each other, but didn't care, and continued to chat and drink with their friends.

Only the yellow-haired man's eyes were frightened, his eyes rolling, but he couldn't control his body.

In his mind, he heard Azu say.

"Don't waste your strength, you can't run away."

Such a strange phenomenon made this man completely unaware of how to deal with it.

But one thing is for sure!

He felt that Azu must be superhuman, a superpower that he didn't understand!

Azu carried the yellow-haired man to the outside of the bar, and after meeting up with Levin, he came to the woods outside the town.

Using 'mind invasion' to control this man's body, Azu let go of some permissions and said, "You can speak now. ”

"So, tell me, where are the children you captured now?"

The yellow-haired man hurriedly said, "I don't know, sir." ”

"I'm just hired by them, it's a temporary collaboration, I've gotten paid, and as for where those kids went, only Ota knows."

Azu cast an inquiring look: "Otta? ”

"Yes, he's the initiator of this mission."

"He gathered us, gave us weapons, and we took those kids and broke up in New Mexico."

"Ota paid me, I took the money and came here, I have the ticket, you can check, it's in my right pocket."

Looking at the yellow-haired man's pocket, Azu had already scanned it, and there was indeed a ticket in it.

And, still in control of the man, so Azu knew he wasn't lying.

Or rather, he didn't dare to lie.

There was no need for him to cover up for the guy named Otta, and he had no intention of sacrificing for the other party.

"So, you must know where Ota is, right?"

The yellow-haired man immediately said, "Chicago, where they will sell those children and sell them to foreign buyers." ”

Azu nodded and smiled, "What is the specific location?" ”

"I don't know."

"That's right."

"You can contact Kennan, he's the head snake there, and he's sure he knows about deals like this, maybe he's leading the foreign buyers." The yellow-haired man said hurriedly.

"How am I going to find this Mr. Kennan?"

"I can take you!"

The yellow-haired man struggled to put on a smile: "I can help with this, sir." ”

In the next second, the yellow-haired man's whole body was loose, he had regained his freedom, and then he listened to Azu.

"You're smart."

"For the time being, you've got a life back."

"But I hope you don't play tricks."

"If this companion of mine can find here, then he can find you wherever you flee."

The yellow-haired man hurriedly said, "I won't play tricks, sir, I swear in the name of my grandmother." ”

Azu smiled kindly and stretched out his hand: "Then, now we are companions." ”

The yellow-haired man hesitated, then took Azu's hand and stood up.

"What's your name?"

"David."

"My name is David, sir."

Azu frowned: "I don't like this name. ”

Because it's a duplicate of his pseudonym.

The yellow-haired man immediately changed his words: "Duke, this is my middle name." ”

"Well, from now on, you're Duke."

"Duke, close your eyes."

Duke was stunned: "Why?" ”

Azu said lightly: "Because we are going to Chicago." ”

Duke looked at the deep night sky: "Sir, there should be no flights now. ”

"No, we don't fly."

Azu said, his body rising up.

Duke suddenly felt a tightness in his waist and abdomen, and it turned out that he was hugged by Levin.

But by this time, Levin had already turned into an eagle man, and with a flap of his wings behind his back, he rushed into the night sky with Duke.

That's when Duke knew why Azu had to close his eyes. (End of chapter)
