Maine.
Bangor City.
Due to the military's control, only a small number of people could apply for relocation permits and leave every day.
Due to the increasing frequency of disappearances and the threat to their lives, a large number of townspeople marched on the streets and surrounded the town hall. There were even several small-scale riots.
Many criminals and some people at the bottom of society took advantage of such an opportunity to vent their desires.
Even if they died, they wanted to die comfortably.
A group of small organized groups came to an apartment building far away from the police station and the stationed military area. Four of them were armed with guns.
Robbing money was the first priority.
With money, they could fight for the opportunity to migrate and live a better life after leaving Maine.
Time was of the essence. Once this group of people encountered resistance, they would shoot or directly kill. If they encountered a good-looking woman, they would also pack her up and take her back.
"Boss Ruth, the alarm of a family is ringing."
"Hurry up! There's one more family. After you're done, take the third route and leave. "
"Understood."
A total of ten people came to the door of the room on the top floor of the apartment building.
Through bullets, they destroyed the keyhole at close range. They kicked the door open.
"You have three minutes to hand over all your belongings and bank cards with passwords! I'll draw a bank card for password verification.
If the password is wrong, I'll kill one of you directly. "
The leader, Ruth, who was armed with a revolver, was 1.88 meters tall.
Both sides of his Mohican hairstyle were tattooed with various skull tattoos. He had spent a long time in prison, and it was during that time that he developed his muscles.
He naturally would not let go of such an opportunity as soon as he was released from prison.
Generally speaking, Ruth's ferocious appearance, huge body, and loaded pistol, momentum, and numbers would quickly complete the robbery.
But the situation this time was a little different.
Under his roar, the group of people in front of him remained indifferent.
Three young men were gathered in the living room area. There was the sound of running water in the bathroom. It seemed that there was another person.
One of the young men sitting on the back of the sofa was taller than Ruth. He had short hair like a hedgehog and a resolute face.
He was currently polishing his special boxing gloves and glanced sideways at Ruth, who had barged in. There was no fear of firearms in his eyes.
A refined man with black hair and squinting eyes was standing on the balcony. His ears were pressed against the window as if he was listening to some special sounds from the outside world. He was not disturbed by the group of intruders at all.
In the middle of the sofa, a young man with an extraordinary bearing was sitting cross-legged.
A black braid fell on the side of his shoulder, and a dragon-patterned sword was placed flat between his knees.
Just then, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
A woman who had just finished washing her hair walked out of the bathroom.
Pure as ice and jade, coupled with the white mist overflowing from the bathroom and the woman's tall and slender figure, she had the aura of a fairy … Such a figure and appearance immediately gave rise to another kind of evil intent in the criminals at the door.
The three men and one woman in the room all had the same physical characteristics.
Black hair, brown eyes, and yellow skin.
"Asian? This woman … is really something. "
Ruth had never seen a woman who could make him react just by looking at her.
Considering that the police were about to arrive, he did not think that this group of young men would have much money. He planned to pull the trigger and kill the three young men, then quickly kidnap the woman and slowly enjoy her when he returned.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger …
Zing!
There was a flash of light.
The connection between his wrist and palm was gone.
It was a smooth wound without any blemishes … In fact, it only started to bleed three seconds after it broke.
The pain only slowly spread to his brain when his palm fell to the ground.
Just as Boss Luce was about to scream from the pain, Luce's eyes lit up.
The connection between his head and body was also gone …
His consciousness quickly blurred.
Before he died, Ruth's eyes were fixed on the young man sitting cross-legged on the sofa. He vaguely saw the young man sheathe his sword for a moment.
"Yu Wu, did you hear any 'sounds'?"
"There are no other teams within a radius of eight miles … There is also no sound of the [Clown]," the young man with squinting eyes who was leaning against the balcony answered softly.
"Then let's change our base."
"Yes, Captain."
Everyone walked out of the room.
The criminals who were crowded in the corridor and did not know what to do reached out to touch their necks.
As the four of them walked past them, their heads slowly slid down from the 15 ° cut …
…
Everyone turned their attention back to Han Dong.
"Diana, what do you think?"
Suddenly, Han Dong changed the topic of discussion to the new girl. After all, Diana had not expressed her opinion … Perhaps she would be able to gain something.
"The other team is not in the school."
"Why do you say that?"
"Broken knights like us have much stronger bones than others … Even some mages who don't train their bodies have magic energy in their bones. It's easy to distinguish them from ordinary people.
I used Bone Sense to detect all the students in the area from the teaching building to the dormitory building. There are no abnormalities. "
"How confident are you?"
“100%”
Diana's [Bone Sense] ability surprised Han Dong.
In fact, Han Dong's perception could also affect the entire school area, but there was a risk of being detected.
This was also why Han Dong had not released the crows.
Diana's direct perception of bones did not have the risk of being detected … It directly denied the existence of the other team.
This way, things would be much easier.
"Well … Indeed, since everyone's target is Dry Town, we will naturally encounter each other when we go deeper into Dry Town. There's no need to place the team in the same area from the beginning.
We'll stay in the school for a night.
The thing we ran into in the teaching building today may take the initiative to find us … "
Cass stared at the only two beds and said, "Nicholas, you sleep with me and let Diana sleep alone in the other bed, okay?"
"Okay."
…
In a completely enclosed classroom in the old teaching building of Bates Academy.
A dark aura was slowly gathering.
A strange person in a suit, wearing a white mask, and only one arm was constructed in the classroom.
He was clearly the only one here, but he was having a reporting conversation.
"Mr. Miles, when I was choosing [Human Form] today, I smelled a strange smell from one of the students … It's a smell similar to yours, but it's very thin.
Could it be related to the missing Mr. Togu?
Can I try to do it? "
The one-armed masked man waited quietly for a while and seemed to have gotten an answer.
"Okay … I'll try to go deeper. Once I'm sure they're related to Mr. Togu, I'll report the information to Mr. Miles immediately."
