He opened the door to the ventilation duct, but there was nothing in sight. The lighting inside the duct was poor as well, so he could not see anything further than that.
Obviously, when Clapton was talking to the young officer, the person inside the duct had already silently crawled away.
If there had not been an explosion inside the surveillance room, and the young officer was good enough, perhaps when he climbed up the lockers, he would have noticed that the dust on the top of the lockers had been knocked off. Unfortunately, after the explosion, that theory was not valid anymore.
With Feng Bujue's cunning, naturally, he would not leave a broken Bluetooth inside the ventilation duct, so this clue did not exist.
The officer crawled into the ventilation duct with his face facing forward. Using his elbows as support, he slowly moved forward. After hearing what Clapton said, his confidence in finding the culprit had been greatly reduced. At that moment, he only wanted to confirm his speculation, so he decided to take a detour around the place and observe the ventilation ducts of the various rooms from the inside to see if he could find any clues.
By then, Feng Bujue had already found the vertical duct that led to the roof, and he was crawling toward the rooftop.
Actually … that was not Feng Bujue's original plan.
His original plan was to lie to Clapton and tell him that he had already escaped and hint that he was a superpowered criminal to shake the man's confidence. Then, he would create an explosion to infuriate the man. Then, while these people were still in the heat of the moment, he would summon a creature to create a diversion. Then, he would have the chance to escape.
But at this point, things were much simpler. The words that Clapton said into the walkie-talkie were all heard by Feng Bujue, who was inside the ventilation duct. Since there was no one watching over the rooftop, all he needed to do was to crawl out.
Feng Bujue soon arrived at the rooftop of the building through the duct. There was only one sniper watching over this place, and the sniper was not there the whole time, so there was no one watching over this place at all.
He landed on the ground with a somersault. He bent his back, and without saying a word, he slithered toward the rooftop of the building next to him.
The distance of three to four meters and the height of the railing was nothing for Feng Bujue now. Even if he did not activate Body Enhancement Spell, he could easily jump over the rooftop.
As mentioned before, players after level 30, no matter what their specialization was, their physical abilities would reach the level of leaping onto roofs, vaulting over walls, and punching like the wind in the Matrix. Currently, Feng Bujue was level 28. As a well-rounded player, all of his abilities were above average. Naturally, he already possessed this kind of strength.
Of course, in terms of pure combat power, the other five players were like Agent Smith, and Feng Bujue was like a minion in the rebel organization. If they were to fight in a battle formation, it would be a dead end. It was more likely that they would be chased all over the streets.
After a few leaps, Feng Bujue arrived at the rooftop of a nearby residential building. He found the fire escape stairs and looked down into an alley. There was no one there. In fact, there weren't many people on the nearby streets. Everyone had gone to the street in front of the bank to pick up money.
Feng Bujue walked down the stairs leisurely. When he reached the second floor, he used his hands to jump over the railing and landed on the ground.
"Sigh … I ran into something like this once I entered the scenario," Feng Bujue grumbled. "Thankfully, it didn't take me too long to escape." Then, he looked around and activated Kyaaa!
A red circle that looked like a magic circle appeared on the ground before Feng Bujue. The light gathered on the circle, and after floating for a while, the light solidified.
Name: Summon — Hammerhead Crane

"This looks quite interesting …" Feng Bujue could not see the skill description, but after the summon appeared, he could see a new Life Points bar in the game menu. It was also shown as a percentage, and there was an option to 'disband' next to it.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Feng Bujue asked the summoned creature.
The Hammerhead Crane did not respond …
"Hmm … Go over there." Feng Bujue pointed at the ground on his left.
The Hammerhead Crane walked over.
"Jump," Feng Bujue ordered again.
The Hammerhead Crane jumped where it was.
"Stay where you are and jump in ten seconds." Feng Bujue then ran ten meters in the opposite direction. He turned back to look. The Hammerhead Crane stood where it was and did not jump even after ten seconds.
"So, that's how it is …" Feng Bujue mumbled. "It can't communicate with me, and it can't accept orders that are too complicated." He walked back to the Hammerhead Crane and ordered, "Attack me."
The Hammerhead Crane did not respond.
"Hmm …" Feng Bujue understood that this was an invalid order, so he said, "Play dead."
No response …
"Stand on one leg."
The Hammerhead Crane followed his order.
"Maintain this posture and turn in circles."
There was no response, but it maintained the posture of standing on one leg.
"It will ignore orders that are beyond its ability …" Feng Bujue reached out to grab the Hammerhead Crane's neck. He wanted to try to strangle it, but he realized that he could not turn his intention into action.
"It's the same as a teammate …" Feng Bujue tried to put the Hammerhead Crane into his inventory, and he succeeded.
"Okay … I think I get it now." After Feng Bujue completed the test, he disbanded the summoned creature. After all, he could not allow this thing to follow him out on the streets.
"I wonder if all summoned creatures are like this … In any case, I should go get a newspaper to check on the situation in Gotham City," Feng Bujue mumbled as he walked out of the alley.
At the same time, at another corner of the city.
On a bench in the park sat a man who was reading the newspaper. He was wearing a normal outfit — a checkered shirt, jeans, and a jacket. His hairstyle was short.
He looked like an ordinary passerby, and no one would pay attention to such a guy. If this was a movie, he would be a human prop, part of the background, the kind that was blurry and his face could not be seen at all.
But he was a player — Shadow King.
Suddenly, a small voice said, "Someone has used the summoning skill."
The voice was strange. It appeared to come from under the bench that Shadow King was sitting on, but there was nothing underneath it.
"Who is the summoned creature?" Shadow King asked softly.
"Just a small fry. Don't mind it. Plus, it has been disbanded," the voice replied.
"Can you confirm the location where it was last seen?" Shadow King asked.
"Of course."
Shadow King folded the newspaper and slowly stood up. As if talking to himself, he said, "Lead the way."
