On a street near Hearst Apartments, the suspected real "Father" target listened to the words played by Genaver.
He stared at the red-eyed robot for two seconds, then suddenly opened his mouth and shouted loudly:
"Help! Help!"
While shouting, he turned around and tried to run towards the most crowded area.
He was fast, but Genaver was faster, covering several meters in a single stride, directly grabbing the back of his collar with his steel hand.
Amidst the sound of tearing fabric, the man suspected to be the real "Father" was dragged back forcefully.
Bang!
Genaver punched the target with just the right amount of force, knocking him unconscious. Under the horrified and panicked gazes of passersby, he dragged the man into a secluded and deep alley.
At this moment, the siren of a fire truck was approaching from afar, and Genaver also heard Bai Chen's report.
…………
"Hey, I really miss you..."
Beside a street-side mailbox, amidst the echoing music, the man suspected to be the real "Father" saw Shang Jianyao, wearing sunglasses and looking cheerful.
Just as Shang Jianyao was about to take action, he suddenly heard Bai Chen's voice from the walkie-talkie:
"Another suspected target has appeared at the back door."
He raised his eyebrows and bowed to the man in front of him:
"Sorry for the interruption."
After apologizing, he was about to turn around and look for another target.
Just as the man suspected to be the real "Father" was stunned, Shang Jianyao turned back and said seriously:
"We can't completely rule out your suspicion either, so we still have to take you back."
The eyes of the man suspected to be the real "Father" suddenly became deep, and he began to "hypnotize" while making eye contact.
Even with sunglasses on, as long as eye contact was made, he could "hypnotize" the enemy!
However, Shang Jianyao, wearing sunglasses, didn't seem to be affected at all. He suddenly took two steps forward, lowered his body, and punched the target's lower abdomen.
Surprised, the man suspected to be the real "Father" dodged to the side while raising his hands to block.
But at this moment, he found that his hands were not listening to his commands.
Puff!
He was punched in the abdomen, and his whole body folded up, like a giant shrimp.
Shang Jianyao calmly took off his sunglasses and punched again, knocking the target unconscious.
His sunglasses were not ordinary. Each lens had a photo paper stuck behind it, and the other side of the paper had his own photos of his left and right eyes.
In other words, the eyes that the man suspected to be the real "Father" saw through the sunglasses were printed photos, and Shang Jianyao, after putting on the sunglasses, was like a blind man, relying purely on the perception of human consciousness to face the enemy and strike.
After knocking the target unconscious and disguising himself to look more like a Red River person, Shang Jianyao, carrying the man suspected to be the real "Father" on his back, shouted to the surrounding pedestrians in Red River language:
"What are you looking at! Haven't you seen someone being kidnapped before?"
It seemed like he had been waiting to say this for a long time.
The next second, Shang Jianyao, carrying the "hostage" on his back, ran wildly towards the area where another target was located.
…………
Bai Chen put her eyes behind the scope attached to the "Orange" rifle, focusing intently on observing the target wearing a knitted hat.
The target's walking posture and physical characteristics were very close to the real "Father" deduced by the "Old Task Force."
He was a bit thinner than the previous two targets.
Seeing that the target was using various obstacles and passing pedestrians in the back alley to avoid possible snipers and monitors, and was quickly heading towards the Gates Building, Bai Chen glanced around and didn't see Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian, or Genaver arriving.
It's a little too late... Just as this thought flashed through Bai Chen's mind, she saw the target suddenly turn and head straight for an ordinary building that was only eight or nine stories high.
He seemed to want to enter it, pass through the lobby, and leave from another exit, in order to shake off trackers or monitors.
Bai Chen didn't hesitate, nor did she worry that the other party might be innocent. She adjusted the muzzle of the gun and aimed at the target's feet.
After a slight adjustment, she calmly pulled the trigger.
Almost at the same time, the man suspected to be the real "Father" seemed to have sensed something and suddenly lunged to the side.
Bang!
Stone chips flew up from the place he was about to step on, revealing a deep bullet hole.
The man suspected to be the real "Father" rolled over, turned his body, and turned his gaze towards the high-rise building where Bai Chen was located.
At his wrist, a strange ornament woven from what seemed like black hair emitted a fire-like glow.
Bai Chen's eyes suddenly went dark.
At this moment, she lost all her vision and became blind.
What surprised her was that the distance between her and the target was definitely more than a hundred meters, far beyond the ability range of an "Ocean of Origin" Awakened.
However, she was affected by the ability of a suspected Awakened.
The real "Father" has an item from the "Mind Corridor," and it's one with a large range? Without thinking, Bai Chen shrunk back, put away the "Orange" rifle, and dodged possible attacks.
Nothing happened.
A dozen seconds later, a ray of light entered Bai Chen's pitch-black vision.
This light dispelled all the darkness, allowing her to see the surrounding things again.
Her eyes were restored, and she quickly regained her sight without the man suspected to be the real "Father" deliberately maintaining the effect.
Without hesitation, Bai Chen got up again and placed the "Orange" rifle on the edge of the rooftop.
With the help of the scope, she looked at the place where the target had just been and found that there was no one there.
There were several low-rise apartments there, and it was impossible to determine which one the man suspected to be the real "Father" had entered.
…………
Alex, with short hair, obvious dark circles under his eyes, and relatively good features, glanced at the woman beside him and reached out to take the linen shirt she handed over.
The male head of the household also enthusiastically offered his own coat and trousers.
In exchange, Alex gave him his blue knitted hat, watching him put it on happily.
Quickly changing his clothes, making the corresponding disguise, Alex touched the glass bead ring on his left little finger, waved goodbye to the couple, and walked out of the door.
His face was quite gloomy, and he seemed very angry at being in this situation.
Fortunately, the difficulty is about to pass, and he will get it back many times over.
After watching Alex leave his house, the male head of the household wearing the blue knitted hat smiled and said to his wife:
"I found a hat when I came back."
His wife responded with a sad face:
"But a thief came to the house and stole some clothes."
Alex outside the door walked step by step along the corridor towards the side exit.
The side exit had an alley leading to the Red Giants Zone, and as long as he entered the Red Giants Zone, with the amount of traffic there, Alex believed he would completely get rid of his predicament.
In fact, he didn't feel that he was in much danger now. He was sure that he had shaken off all trackers and monitors.
The reason why he was still maintaining a super-standard level of vigilance and mental state was because he couldn't figure out how he was exposed and how he was being targeted.
He always hid himself behind layers and layers of disguise, like those very famous matryoshka dolls from the Old World, striving to keep himself in an absolutely safe environment.
Before this, except for the situations where he had to personally take action and face the target, he had never encountered a situation where his location was locked by the enemy and he was almost surrounded.
"Where exactly is the problem?" For the proud real "Father" Alex, this was a question that both seriously undermined his confidence and made him lose a lot of security.
And if he didn't figure out the answer to this question, similar things would definitely happen one after another. At that time, Alex didn't think he could successfully escape again and again.
He was still a human after all, and he still had his limits.
After thinking it over and over, Alex still couldn't find the place where he made a mistake.
He even suspected that the other party had accidentally stumbled upon him by luck.
No, it can't be luck. I haven't gone out during this time, and the memories of other people have been modified. Even if those few people are lucky enough, they can't possibly know that I'm in the Alpha Building out of thin air... My specific location is not even known to Elder Bu Yong, only I know it... It must be that some detail was not done well, leaving clues that could be tracked... I must investigate it as soon as possible and nip the hidden dangers in the bud... Alex thought coldly, and grasped the handle of the side door, pulling it open.
He lowered his head slightly and walked into the alley with his body slightly leaning forward.
For him, the only good thing about what he had just experienced was that the strong stimulation and tense atmosphere had made him highly excited, no longer tired, and regained the absolute clarity he had lost for a long time.
Just then, he felt a human consciousness in front of him standing still, not knowing what it was doing.
Alex instinctively looked up and looked there.
His pupils suddenly dilated.
Shang Jianyao, wearing a gray camouflage uniform, stood in the center of the alley, with a man lying beside him whose temperament and characteristics were quite similar to Alex's.
After seeing Alex, Shang Jianyao put on a pair of Old World-style sunglasses and showed a sunny smile:
"Father, long time no see."
Further away, in a corner that bullets couldn't hit, singing was heard:
"Hey, I really miss you..."
