Chapter 692 Crisis in the Dark
"Let's give them a good beating when they're down, but we need to figure out their location first."
Natasha nodded and said, "I did pay special attention to that; they were hiding in a clothing store's warehouse."
"I checked, and there's nothing unusual about that shop."
Natasha spoke very calmly, as if she had already anticipated that Madrid would take this opportunity to make a move.
On the other side, at the official headquarters of the Extraordinary Ones.
Inside the dark underground space, a squad leader is having a brief meeting with his two team members.
"Have they found out where that damn werewolf went?"
"We must find the zombie he took away and kill it."
The squad leader urged him on urgently.
"Boss, that ghostly figure that's been bothering you is really annoying. That guy even deliberately erased all traces left by extraordinary individuals during the continuous attacks."
"Even if there were some traces left behind, that guy has already made them extremely chaotic."
"Even scene rewinding cannot be used easily."
One of the team members standing nearby said through gritted teeth.
Just when their chance to complete their mission was within reach, an outsider ruined everything.
"Don't worry, as long as that zombie wants to live, it will eventually start a new missing persons case."
"He needs corpses and flesh to recover, so let's start with that."
"Immediately notify all police stations and patrol forces. If anyone goes missing, report it immediately."
"Then spread the word that those three damned guys were seriously injured."
"I refuse to believe that other extraordinary individuals wouldn't be tempted."
The squad leader couldn't resist assigning tasks.
He no longer cares about making a name for himself; he just wants to solve the missing persons case as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if the higher-ups blame us, things will really get complicated.
Meanwhile, Manhattan returned to the studio with a cheerful gait as evening approached.
He was just about to tell Chu Yang some information he had obtained about the extraordinary world.
However, he couldn't help but widen his eyes as soon as he saw Chu Yang.
"So you've become a Sequence Eight reasoning student?"
"If I remember correctly, you only took half a month, right?"
Manhattan was utterly shocked.
Chu Yang was naturally prepared for this situation, and explained sincerely:
"I've always loved reading, and I think some of my old habits helped me digest the potion faster and better."
When Manhattan heard the connection between the potion and his previous reading habits, he realized that his student was not telling the truth again.
After all, he had never taught Chu Yang what digestive potions were.
Chu Yang, however, recounted it very naturally.
"So you've already mastered the art of acting. I underestimated you."
He originally intended to find a suitable opportunity to pass on the true essence of the acting method to Chu Yang.
He was, after all, a believer in the god of knowledge and wisdom.
Due to the restrictions of church rules, he could not easily spread this extremely precious thing.
That is why Chu Yang never thought of getting anything about cultivation from Manhattan.
This teacher primarily guided him to engage more effectively with the world of extraordinary individuals.
The calm and composed expression on Chu Yang's face made Manhattan shake his head slightly.
"It seems you have quite a few secrets. Regardless of where you got this information, it has undoubtedly been of great help to your growth."
"I don't think the reasoning students can stop you for much longer."
"The next advancement path for reasoning trainees is the Guardian of Knowledge. I hope you can continue to create new miracles."
"In any case, they are much better than an old man like me."
Manhattan's expression turned somewhat strange as he said this.
Back then, he only learned about the Acting Method after becoming a Sequence Seven Extraordinary.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yang already knew about this special method when he was at Sequence Nine.
This is enough to ensure that Chu Yang's resting speed will become even faster.
This created a huge distance between them.
This made him even more hopeful for his student's future.
"It seems my judgment was pretty good after all."
Manhattan couldn't help but praise himself inwardly.
This is the second piece of good news he received today.
Chu Yang, standing to the side, sighed inwardly.
Based on his familiarity with the storyline, Manhattan, despite his considerable strength, is far less knowledgeable about the mystical realm than I am.
If he could impart more knowledge to Manhattan.
It will definitely help your teacher take a break more quickly.
However, this is simply impossible.
Unless Chu Yang doesn't mind exposing himself at all.
Even though Manhattan has always treated him well, knowing too much isn't a good thing for Manhattan.
Chu Yang couldn't help but feel sad for his teacher.
Manhattan's talent for cultivation was extremely mismatched, but it was precisely because of his lack of knowledge about mystical colors, coupled with his choice to follow the path of a reader, that he succeeded.
Therefore, his promotion speed has never been very fast.
Unfortunately, this is due to both the unspoken rules of the church and the watchful gaze of the gods high above.
All of this meant that Chu Yang could not easily share the important esoteric knowledge he knew with the outside world.
He absolutely could not act rashly until he had latched onto the coattails of the Fool Klein.
"By the way, teacher, were you going to tell me some good news?"
Chu Yang couldn't help but change the subject.
Manhattan composed himself and immediately smiled and said:
"The Punisher team used manpower and resources, and even a very peculiar sealing artifact, so they easily and severely injured the three wild Extraordinary Ones."
"What are the beliefs of those extraordinary beings? It doesn't matter at all. Some of them have long been consumed by desire and are not worth mentioning."
"However, the Punisher Squad is still too weak. Even so, they couldn't even keep those three wild Extraordinary beings alive."
Manhattan seemed very happy when talking about it.
Chu Yang, standing to the side, was filled with helplessness.
The god of knowledge and wisdom that Manhattan was excited about, and the Church of Storms that the official scapegoat squad was excited about, were practically two extremes.
Both the true origin of divinity and the followers below are in opposition.
However, Chu Yang knew more thoroughly, and he did not have much prejudice against the official team of punishers.
Because those guys are the truly pitiful people who are protecting this world.
"Wait, where did the battle take place...?"
Thinking of this, Chu Yang suddenly stood up. He felt that the location of that battle seemed to be not far from Elinda's clothing store.
He had a vague feeling that something was not right.
But soon, his attention was drawn to the extraordinary object that could shoot lightning in broad daylight.
"I have witnessed lightning appear out of thin air to strike enemies, and the speed and power of that strike are beyond description."
"What exactly is that horrible discharge?"
As far as he knew, this level of sealed artifact did not appear in the original storyline.
On the other hand, as night fell, Mr. Holmes did not easily leave his home to collect the bodies of the homeless.
His intuition kept sending faint reminders, so he immediately began to use his extraordinary abilities to observe everything in the entire shop.
However, he didn't notice anything amiss.
So he had no choice but to pick up a kerosene lamp and walk out of the shop.
As soon as he stepped outside, his body stiffened.
Then, he forced a smile onto his face.
In a daze, half-awake, his wife opened the window and said:
"Honey, what happened?"
Holmes quickly offered words of comfort.
At that moment, inside the clothing store warehouse, a figure in a suit and leather shoes slowly emerged.
"Stannick, stop your rudeness. The owner of this shop is also an extraordinary being, and his spiritual senses are extremely sharp."
"Sir, I really can't hold it in any longer, I'm going to go crazy if I keep this up." Stanik grabbed his hair, looking extremely distressed.
He desperately wanted to dismember the entire family of three and then devour their corpses.
He had to alleviate his injuries through groans and cries of pain.
However, the gentleman in front of them did not hesitate at all and disappeared immediately.
At the same time, the severely wounded werewolf immediately threw a severed limb from the bag he was carrying.
"Use this to relieve your symptoms first; it's part of the prey I caught a few days ago."
"Now is not the best time. When the opportunity arises, the adults will allow us to take action."
"Don't worry, we will leave this family of three to you. You will be able to enjoy them sooner or later."
Stanik then picked up the severed limb from the ground and began to eat it with a sense of helplessness.
On the other side, Chu Yang, as usual, met with Miss Su at the police station's shooting range.
This time, however, he didn't see Miss Triss; instead, he saw other police officers.
After a brief inquiry, the young police officer said with a helpless expression:
"It seems you don't know this yet; Miss Triss has run away from home."
Chu Yang saw a hint of schadenfreude in this guy's eyes.
This time, the young lady's usual rude behavior and unrestrained speech at the police station were even more outrageous.
It seems that many of her colleagues do not like her approach at all, and therefore do not hesitate to spread her various outrageous behaviors.
"Did she run away from home? What happened?"
Chu Yang was stunned when he received the news.
"The girl left a letter at home saying she was looking for some kind of freedom."
"Lord Bekpo had already found him a suitable promotion opportunity, but it seems someone else will benefit from it this time."
The somewhat young police officer immediately burst into gloating laughter.
Chu Yang shook his head slightly.
He suddenly remembered that some time ago, when he and Miss Triss began investigating the missing person case, one of the parties involved had gone on an adventure to the sea.
At the time, he thought the person's actions were outrageous; it was clearly suicide.
Thinking back, after learning all that, Miss Triss became extremely distraught, almost like a walking corpse.
"It seems that incident spurred Miss Triss on. Has she also gone to pursue her dreams? Has she gone to sea too?"
Seeing all this, Chu Yang could only shake his head helplessly.
He could only pray for Miss Triss in his heart.
It's impossible to just go to the ocean and bring that guy back.
Seeing that Chu Yang didn't respond, the veteran police officer standing to the side felt very frustrated, but he didn't dare to continue the conversation easily.
As Chu Yang was about to turn and leave, he couldn't help but turn his head and say coldly:
"This world is too big. If no one explores it, we will always be stuck in a small corner of the world."
"We should never ridicule someone who has an adventurous spirit."
After saying that, Chu Yang left with Miss Xiu.
Miss Hugh also strongly agreed:
"When I was little, I always thought I could live in that manor forever, but later I realized I was wrong."
"Therefore, I support all risky behaviors that do not involve deliberately courting death; it is a form of preparedness."
Miss Hugh, on the other hand, was very supportive of Tris's pursuit of freedom.
Especially during this period, Chu Yang and Zeiss acted together, and Miss Hugh also knew that Miss Triss had learned a lot from Chu Yang.
Perhaps that's why Miss Triss was so eager to put it into practice.
"No matter what, that guy is definitely not a qualified police officer. He might as well find another job sooner rather than later."
Chu Yang shrugged in return.
At the same time, he also felt somewhat lost.
Miss Triss, despite being arranged by her elders to become a police officer, a job she didn't like.
But at least she's now on the path of pursuing her dreams.
But as for himself, he was forced into this world.
Even now, he still doesn't know what his ultimate goal is.
Chu Yang sighed slowly, finally putting all his chaotic thoughts to the back of his mind.
He began to concentrate fully on dealing with the target in front of him.
Soon, Chu Yang's achievement left Miss Xiu, who was standing to the side, speechless.
In less than a week, Chu Yang has almost become a true gun master.
If it weren't for the fact that some of his design skills were still a bit immature, he could probably have achieved extremely amazing results.
Chu Yang at this point can definitely be called a master in reserve.
"How did you manage to do all this?"
As soon as Chu Yang put down his gun, Miss Xiu couldn't wait to ask him a question.
"Because I just became Sequence 8 yesterday."
Chu Yang had anticipated this scene and answered with a smile.
Miss Hugh then showed a look of realization.
She had no idea which extraordinary path Chu Yang was following.
However, Chu Yang always acted very mysteriously.
She wasn't actually surprised by the news. (End of Chapter)
