The two of them did not take the main entrance.
Jiang Yue’s Hunter-Tracker was constantly active, the red dot on the screen flickering in and out of view like a fly trapped in the center of a spider web.
“He’s moving,” she whispered, her speech slightly faster than usual.
“Heading toward the northern side of the park, moving very quickly, as if he’s evacuating.”
“Evacuating?” Lu Chenzhou paused for a moment.
“Yes.” Jiang Yue stared at the screen.
“Sensory-type Ability Users are highly alert. It’s very likely he has already sensed our presence.”
Lu Chenzhou did not hesitate. “Pursue!”
The two figures were like ghosts in the night, silently gliding across the open ground of the logistics park.
Jiang Yue followed half a step behind Lu Chenzhou, her right hand gripping the Hunter-Tracker while her left hand drew a silver-white electric stun pistol from her waist.
She made almost no sound as she ran, her footsteps as light as a feline’s.
Lu Chenzhou led the way with large, rapid strides, each step steady and powerful.
His right hand reached for the tactical strap on the outside of his right thigh, the handle of his high-frequency vibration dagger pressed against his palm, ready for use at any moment.
The two of them, one after the other, gave chase toward the northern side of the park.
...
Su Wan stood in the shadows of an abandoned warehouse, her mental power acting like an invisible giant net covering an area with a radius of several hundred meters.
The movement trajectories of Liu Junnan and Qin Zhong’an, as well as the route of the two people from the Special Abnormal Affairs Bureau approaching from the east, were all clearly reflected in her consciousness like blips on a radar screen.
At this speed, in less than two minutes, the two parties would meet head-on on the road outside the North Gate.
Su Wan lowered her eyes, her consciousness sinking into the Hyper-dimensional Communicator.
A line of text appeared silently in Liu Junnan’s consciousness:
【The Bureau people are toward the North Gate. Change to the West Gate.】
Receiving Su Wan’s tip, Liu Junnan was momentarily stunned.
He had suffered at Su Wan’s hands today, and during his resistance, he had completely exhausted his mental power.
He was very weak, so he hadn't been able to use his abilities at all, which was why he hadn't noticed the arrival of the Special Abnormal Affairs Bureau members.
In the alleyway, Liu Junnan’s footsteps suddenly halted.
Qin Zhong’an had walked a few steps before realizing there was no sound behind him. He whipped his head around and saw Liu Junnan standing motionlessly three meters away, refusing to move.
“What are you doing?!” Qin Zhong’an lowered his voice, his tone filled with anxiety. “Hurry up and move!”
Liu Junnan did not move.
His gaze bypassed Qin Zhong’an’s shoulder, looking toward the pitch-black alley ahead. His pupils contracted slightly, as if he were seeing something Qin Zhong’an could not.
“Young Master Liu!” Qin Zhong’an grew frantic. He rushed back and reached out to grab him.
“What are you spacing out for? Didn't you hear what Boss Mu said? The Bureau people are already—”
“Go to the West Gate.”
Liu Junnan cut Qin Zhong’an off.
“What?”
Qin Zhong’an was stunned for a second, then his brows knitted into a tight knot. “The West Gate? That route will take at least ten minutes longer! Are you cra—”
His words caught in his throat.
Because Liu Junnan was no longer looking at him; instead, he turned around and strode in the opposite direction.
“Liu Junnan!” Qin Zhong’an caught up to him and grabbed his arm, his voice low but brimming with fury.
“What on earth are you doing? The Bureau people might already be nearby!”
“Every minute we stay here is another minute of danger! There are cars right outside the North Gate—we could be gone the moment we get in—”
“I said, go to the West Gate!” Liu Junnan shook off his hand impatiently without looking back.
“Follow me if you believe me. If you don't, go through the North Gate yourself.”
“The Bureau’s target is me anyway. It has nothing to do with you.”
Qin Zhong’an’s footsteps faltered.
He stared at Liu Junnan’s back, his lips twitching as he tried to speak, but ultimately, nothing came out.
Qin Zhong’an gritted his teeth. Even though his face was filled with frustration and anger, he still quickly followed.
The two figures disappeared into the depths of the alley, moving rapidly toward the West Gate.
As the pair changed their direction, the route of the two Bureau agents changed accordingly.
Liu Junnan was the nail she had driven into the Yuansou organization; she couldn't let him be taken by the Special Abnormal Affairs Bureau.
Su Wan withdrew her consciousness and stepped out from the shadows.
She had changed her clothes.
She now wore a black oversized hoodie, black cargo pants, and a pair of light black soft-soled shoes.
The hood was pulled over her head, the brim lowered to her brow bone, and a black face mask covered the lower half of her face, leaving only her eyes visible.
She kept her breathing very light and slow, her heartbeat steady at fifty beats per minute. She was like a stone polished by the night, with no excess aura leaking out.
...
“They’ve headed toward the West Gate.”
Jiang Yue’s voice rang out in the night, carrying a hint of subtle surprise.
She stared at the Hunter-Tracker in her hand. The red dot representing the target on the screen had suddenly changed its trajectory, no longer moving toward the North Gate but turning west instead, moving much faster than before.
“It seems he really did discover us,” Lu Chenzhou’s voice came from behind her, low and steady.
“Yes.” Jiang Yue’s fingers slid quickly across the screen, pulling up the historical trajectory comparison map.
“And their movement speed is also increasing—”
Jiang Yue’s words came to a halt.
Because she saw a person standing right in the center of the alleyway, ten meters ahead of them.
The person was slender and dressed entirely in black, with a hood pulled low and a mask covering most of their face, making it impossible to tell their gender.
Su Wan was completely blended into the night, possessing no presence whatsoever.
When Jiang Yue’s gaze landed on Su Wan, her heart skipped a beat.
It was an instinctive alarm from the deepest part of her body.
A living person stood right in front of them, yet her Hunter-Tracker gave no response.
No energy fluctuations, no residual ability traces, no data feedback whatsoever...
Jiang Yue’s fingers tightened unconsciously, the Hunter-Tracker nearly slipping from her palm.
The veins on the back of her hand bulged, and her fingertips turned slightly white from the force of her grip.
This was the first time since joining the Special Abnormal Affairs Bureau that she had experienced such a near-uncontrollable nervousness during a mission.
Lu Chenzhou saw it too.
He stopped half a step behind Jiang Yue, his right hand already drawing the high-frequency vibration dagger from his tactical strap.
The blade of the dagger glinted coldly in the night. The high-frequency vibration caused the air around the edge to distort slightly, emitting an extremely faint buzz.
His ability was Physical Enhancement, focusing on strength and damage resistance. At B+ rank, he was ranked in the top five of the Operations Department at the East China Branch of the Special Abnormal Affairs Bureau.
Lu Chenzhou’s gaze fell on Su Wan, sizing her up carefully from head to toe.
In Lu Chenzhou’s view, this person showed no killing intent or hostility; even the feeling of being “watched” by them was very faint.
Lu Chenzhou immediately realized that the strength of the person before him far exceeded his imagination!
Jiang Yue spoke, her voice somewhat dry.
“Who are you?”
