The man in the windbreaker reacted very quickly. His figure blurred, and he appeared more than ten meters away.
Bang!
Luke's foot missed, and he stepped on the grass to meet Emma.
This young mother, who was only twenty years old, was holding her younger son in front of her. Orange flames lit up all over her body, and her eyes shone with the ferocity of a mother wolf protecting her cubs.
When Luke landed, she subconsciously attacked.
Boom!
Flames burst out of her body and hit Luke in the chest.
Seeing an opportunity, the man disappeared again and reappeared behind her, reaching out to grab her and her eldest son.
A black shadow flew out of the flames in front of Emma and went straight for the man's face. It was none other than the bat dart that Luke had thrown out.
Sensing that the bat dart was about to hit his face, the man subconsciously activated his ability and teleported away again, appearing ten meters away.
The orange flames dispersed, and a black figure appeared. He had a helmet with a pair of sharp ears and a pair of white eyes, and a black cloak fluttering behind him.
The impact of the flames just now had only burned the armor on his chest, and only 2% of the damage had been done.
Stunned, Emma couldn't help but murmur, "Dark Knight?"
The man's ears twitched, and he activated his ability without hesitation, vanishing on the spot.
Luke frowned. Fako, this guy really ran fast.
As long as the guy dared stay for ten seconds, he would be able to enjoy the non-lethal nerve gas that Master Benton had developed, and he would definitely collapse on the spot.
The man in the leather coat was Gordon the Blind Man who had the ability to teleport last time.
He was a teleporter between the afterlife and the normal world, and one of the most important figures in the afterlife.
As long as Luke caught him, he could use drugs and hypnosis to pry open his mouth and obtain a lot of information about the afterlife.
But the guy was just as cautious as last time, and immediately ran away the moment he heard the name "Dark Knight."
No wonder there were very few rumors about the afterlife in normal society. One could tell a thing or two from Gordon's behavior.
If it wasn't for Emma, who had run away on her own, most people wouldn't know the details even if they came out of the afterlife.
Imagine an ordinary person being teleported into a ravine by Gordon, then told that it was called the afterlife. Then, after half a month, he would be teleported out with a whoosh.
There was electricity and some ordinary household appliances in the afterlife, but there was no internet, telephone, or GPS.
Other than knowing the name "afterlife", this ordinary person basically had no way of finding out anything else.
…
Only then did Emma come back to her senses. She was a little flustered. "That, that, I thought it was him just now …"
"I know. Let's get out of here first." Luke didn't want to say anything else here. He grabbed Emma and her eldest son and slid away.
After the two of them left, some of the nearby residents heard the commotion and came out to check.
However, it was dark at night. These people just stood at the door and looked around. When they didn't find anything, they closed the door and went back inside.
Taking Emma's family to another safe house that was even more remote, Luke asked her what happened to her youngest son, before he left.
Emma was somewhat similar to Skye. The effect of pheromone control wasn't too obvious. He also added mental hypnosis to get the information he wanted.
According to Emma, her youngest son's situation was very similar to her awakening when she was young.
Her awakening happened on a trip, and there were no witnesses.
She was scared and didn't know what had happened, so she didn't tell her parents.
But she was five years old that year, and her youngest son was only a little over a year old now.
If age could be used as evidence of genius, her youngest son might be much more talented than she was.
When he asked, Luke also paid attention to her eldest son.
This four-year-old boy's clothes were charred and torn, but he didn't turn into a roasted pig. He didn't look panicked, and instead seemed to be chuckling.
It seemed that this family of three was talented, but it would be a lot more troublesome.
The youngest son, who couldn't control himself, could blow up the house at any time.
The key was that he was only a little over a year old, and didn't have the concept of control at all.
Luke could only arrange for the mother and son to stay in this remote area where there was almost no one around. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be the house that would blow up.
A moment after leaving the safe house, he returned invisibly and set up a new set up nearby.
Space-type abilities were very troublesome, and teleportation was even more so. However, this world already had a device to guard against it — space blockers.
Otherwise, no one would be able to stand Gordon entering an official organization on his own, whether it was to throw dangerous items or move cash and gold.
However, the space blockers had to be set up in advance to form an area where spatial abilities couldn't be used, and it wasn't convenient to move them around.
Luke had used such a device in Daxi City last time, and Emma's previous residence had also been set up.
Initially, Luke had wanted to wait for Gordon to arrive before activating the AI program and trapping him like a witch.
In the end, Emma's youngest son lost control of his ability and blew up the house, forcing them to leave. That was how Gordon escaped.
It was just an accident, and actually wasn't a big problem.
In any case, Gordon didn't know that there was a space blocker waiting for him here.
If it didn't work this time, he could try again next time.
The real problem was, how did Gordon find Emma so quickly?
Luke didn't think that the other party had followed them through ordinary means, or that Emma and her son had a tracker in them.
Gordon wasn't qualified to follow Luke, even if his ability was teleportation.
Teleportation had to stop in the end. He couldn't turn invisible, nor could he "flash infinitely."
Back then, Emma and her son had been examined and confirmed that they hadn't been implanted with any trackers.
Unless it was something like Luke's Sharp Nose or Mental Communication, Emma could still be found even if she had changed her appearance.
Considering that there weren't many electrical appliances in the afterlife, Luke was more inclined to the latter possibility.
In the afterlife, there was some kind of superpower that could lock onto Emma and her son's location from afar.
But it had taken so long to find them, which meant that there were certain prerequisites for this ability, such as Emma's explosive ability to lock onto them.
Emma didn't explode this time, but her youngest son did.
Thus, Gordon teleported over a minute later and discovered the three of them flying away.
He followed them to the residential area, but failed to ambush them.
None of the three of them were afraid of fire, which gave Emma no qualms about attacking.
Emma's ability and talent were so strong that they could be considered cheating. There was almost no way to catch her.
Bullets, tranquilizers, restraints, and the like would all be greatly reduced in the face of terrifying heat and fire.
If she was pushed too far, she could even unleash an AOE attack with a radius of fifty meters.
But this AOE attack was different from a game. It was far more damaging than a single attack, and could be considered a certain ultimate move.
If Gordon was careless, he might be killed at close range. He would definitely be cremated on the spot and turned into a box.
