Siren Blade

Chapter 126
There is no need for reasoning, anyone with eyes can immediately draw the conclusion that the house warlock who captured Joan is with Yuchi and the fanatics.

Is he an insider of the Security Bureau?No, he wasn't from the Security Service in the first place.When he bullied Qiao An with his ghostly posture, I thought of Yuchi's avatar from his movements - the avatar's movements at the beginning were exactly the same as the current internal affairs warlock.Obviously, Yuchi used his avatar to disguise himself as a staff member of Liucheng Security Bureau.

But why did Yuchi catch Qiao An? Is it because he saw Qiao An following me, so he wanted to use it as a hostage?Finally an opponent who thought the hostage tactics would work for me?Or is he planning to use it on other people, hoping to gain some breathing time?Although he died soon due to serious injuries, but if he was given too much time to breathe, it was hard to guarantee that he would not come up with some way to prolong his life.

Or, he has other plans for Joan?Several ideas ran through my mind at that moment.For example, he didn't know where he knew that Joan was also a magic genius, so he wanted to capture Joan alive like a blue bird, but what he tried to do to the blue bird should be limited to blood relatives.Or is his target actually not Joan, but Hui Hui?It couldn't be that he was fascinated by Joan's charm, right?

While thinking, my movements did not slow down to save Joan.However, it was too late, Yuchi and their space transfer had a very short interval from the activation to the effective time.In the blink of an eye, the clone and Joan's figure evaporated out of thin air, and the figures of Yuchi and the fanatic also disappeared at the same time.All that was left was a mess.

I can't tell where they have moved, so I can only stop my movements first, and then look around.From the time we fought to the end, it seemed that we could talk a lot, but in fact we didn't even have two seconds to spare, and no one used any destructive moves, but the shock wave generated by the confrontation still swept away the other non-combatants in the room. People are on their backs.Most of the people even fell into a coma due to the concussion, Qiao Licorice also fell to the ground in a coma, and many of the comatose people who were lying on the bed were also injured due to the impact.

Fortunately, the medical examiner was not unconscious yet. He stood up dazedly supporting the cabinet next to him, "Battle... Is the battle over?"

It's not over yet, rather, now is the key point.I'm very worried about Joan's safety, but at times like this, I can't mess myself up.We must first find a way to track their location after the space transfer.

And the blue bird undoubtedly thought of the same place as I did.I don't need to tell you, she has already reached the place where Yuchi and the fanatic disappeared, and then closed her eyes.It can be seen that she is using her awareness to track the direction of their space transfer.This is something I can't do, I can only count on her to play.

I looked at Lie Que again, he was still standing with his eyes closed, his consciousness still immersed in a dream, and he might not be aware of the battle that took place in reality.

"Can you wake up Lie Que now?" I asked the medical examiner.

"Let me try." Although he seemed to be deaf due to the impact just now, he was still able to catch my voice with awareness.

He staggered to the back of Lie Que, and pressed his right hand on Lie Que's back again.But soon, he showed an ugly expression, "I couldn't establish contact with him in the dream... The communication was cut off. However, he seemed to be aware of the changes in the real world, but he couldn't exit the dream on his own, so he seemed to be Attempt to destroy the dream itself from within..."

I asked straightforwardly, "How long will it take him?"

"I don't know, but it shouldn't take more than half an hour," he replied.

It only takes so much time to destroy the collective dream created by fanatics, which is not insane.But the most lacking thing now is time, I can't convince myself to wait here for half an hour.Just how to proceed?Just when I was thinking hard, there was a result from Jade Bird.

"We've tracked it down!" She opened her eyes with sparkling eyes, "I'll go investigate first!"

"Wait, it's dangerous to be alone." I said, "I'm going too."

"Don't worry, I will keep a distance from them." After she finished speaking, she turned into a thunderbolt and left in a hurry without waiting for me to continue speaking.

She used to complain about my lone ranger style, but in fact, she herself is not much better, is she?But as long as she really keeps her distance, I'm not worried that she will have an accident.With her lightning speed, Yuchi and the fanatics would be far behind even if they were a hundred times faster.

But within ten seconds, she called, and I heard her voice after connecting, "Their location after the transfer is still inside Liucheng, in a small town about [-] kilometers away from you." In the woods, but I can't find where they are at all, and I can't determine the direction they left."

It would be great if they were fools who set the transfer coordinates in their own stronghold, but the reality is obviously not that simple and difficult.Since their long-distance space transfer is so easy to be tracked, they will definitely set the coordinates outside the stronghold, and then whether they return to the stronghold or go to other places, they will move on foot as concealed as possible.

Blue Bird told me the specific address of the grove.I also plan to get to her as quickly as possible first.But what if it does arrive?In fact, we still have no way of knowing where they are, we can only wander around like headless chickens.

If I were a well-trained and experienced agent in an action movie, I might be able to stick something like a micro-locator on the opponent's body in the confrontation just now.It's a pity that I don't talk about training and experience, but after all, I didn't carry such a locator at all-no, wait.

I suddenly realized a particularly crucial thing.

Is there really no "locator"?In fact, there are, although the "locator" is neither small nor something, and I didn't take the initiative to stick it on their bodies, but just now, Yuchi himself took it away on his own initiative!
Although it is still impossible to determine the reason why he took Joan away, this move is definitely a wrong move.

A wrong move that would expose their whereabouts!
I rushed out of the nursing room immediately and made a call to my landline.

After a while, the landline was connected.

"Joan, is that you?" I asked.

A stumbling, immature child's voice came from the opposite side, "Yes, I."
-
Not long ago, with the help of the power of the succubus, Joan made a clone of himself with the clone spell that the succubus had learned before his death.

It was an unsuccessful attempt, he wasn't even able to make the clone walk very well, but since he didn't know how to disarm it, the clone ended up being left in my house.But now I want to thank him for not removing that clone.His main body can always grasp the position of the clone, and the perception between the two parties is synchronized, which means that the clone can also always grasp the position of the main body in turn.

He told me that after being kidnapped by Yuchi, he actually wanted to manipulate his avatar to call me. The problem is that even though he had my mobile phone number, he just saved it in his mobile phone, and he didn't write it down. It is not placed there.Fortunately, I called in time and finally got in touch.

I also told the good news to Jade Bird, and she said that she would come over soon.In addition, when I returned to my residence, the security bureau quickly found out how Yuchi and the fanatics sneaked into the security bureau.

There wasn't even a need for a detailed investigation, simply looking back after the incident to see signs of damage near the scene.

If there is no accident, those two people have actually been lurking in other nursing rooms, only a few rooms away from our nursing room.In other words, they probably made sophisticated disguises for themselves, pretending to be innocent sleepers, and using the dark psychology under the lights to fall asleep for several days in a row under the nose of the Security Bureau.It seems that they are trapped in a collective dream like other sleepers, but they are actually hidden behind the scenes in the form of a dream ruler, and they can also unexpectedly create huge damage inside the Security Bureau at critical moments.

Yuchi also placed a doppelganger of himself in reality, pretending to be an internal warlock in charge of taking care of the sleeping people.The purpose is nothing more than to be an insurance, and this insurance has definitely worked.I had severely injured him in the dream earlier, and in reality his body must have also suffered a huge hemorrhage, but this bizarre situation was not reported in the first place, obviously it was caused by the avatar.

After Lie Que invaded the collective dream, fanatics and Yuchi also discovered Lie Que's invasion from within the dream, and realized two crucial points:
First, since things have developed to this point, the plan based on the collective dream must be in vain;
Second, no matter how you look at it, this is a great opportunity to kill Lie Que.

Immediately afterwards, without hesitation, they took a straight line and crashed through the wall to the nursing room where we were in the shortest path.

In order to prevent Lie Que from waking up immediately, the fanatics probably made some temporary adjustments to the collective dream. The medical examiner could not establish contact with Lie Que in the dream and Lie Que could not exit the dream in a short time. This is probably the reason.

But the fanatics and Yuchi must never have imagined that Lie Que could not only sleep standing up, but also fight while sleeping.They gain nothing by voluntarily exposing their decisions.

If they have to say that they have gained something, it is Joan.But Joan has also become a key "magic weapon" for us to track them.

When I saw the small clone of Joan, he had already staggered downstairs, nervously borrowing a knife from my kitchen.For convenience, let's call him "Little Joan" from now on.And, also for the sake of convenience, although Joan is very unskilled in manipulating this body when he stumbles and speaks, he will be treated as he is proficient in speaking in order to omit some unnecessary repetitions.

The blue bird arrived almost at the same time as me.With her speed, I thought she would arrive first, but she seemed to be doing something in the woods, which delayed it a little.

"Just in case, I caused a little damage there." She said, she glanced at little Qiao An, "I didn't expect there to be a clone."

I felt that she wanted to tease me a few words on this topic, but she held it back seriously only when the timing was not right.

In addition, I have already asked little Qiao An straight to the point on the phone about the location of his main body, but he said that his main body was blindfolded, and he could not describe where the main body was in Liucheng.

"My body is not in danger for the time being, and I haven't suffered any harm, but I don't know what Yuchi wants to do to me in the future." He seemed to have no emotion when he spoke, but it was only because he couldn't manipulate it flexibly. It's just a clone, based on what I know about him, he's probably lost in fear at this time, "I'll try to see if I can talk to him..."

"There's no rush." ​​Qingniao calmly took out her phone and opened the map, "Since you can sense the location of the main body, can you point it out on the map? As long as you point it out for me, I only need a few seconds to get there.”

I also paid attention, while little Qiao An glanced at the phone map, then shook her head, "I can't do it."

"Is it because the induction of the body's position is not clear enough?" Qingniao asked.

"No, I can clearly grasp the position of the main body, but..." Little Qiao An didn't know what to say, "It's just that I can't express it."

"Can't express it?" Jade Bird wondered.

"It's because I can't translate the feeling of distance into words, and I don't know how to refer to the map." I quickly understood the difficulties encountered by little Qiao An, and immediately carried him on my back, "It's like After walking fifty steps, look back at the place where you were originally standing. Although this distance can be seen clearly with your eyes, if you want to know how many meters this distance is, or even centimeters , or have to use other methods to measure it before we can say it.”

However, the distance between Joan's body and the avatar is more than tens of kilometers. Naturally, it is not so easy to convert the feeling of distance into more specific information.

After finishing speaking, I asked him to guide me and the blue bird, and then ran at full speed with him on my back.

Although Jade Bird can transform into a thunderbolt, he can't bring anyone other than himself with him. At most, he can only bring his own clothes and props with him. Right now, he can only walk together on foot.

"Although you can't see with your eyes, your hearing and perception skills should not be sealed yet, right?" I was advancing at high speed, and I wanted to get a little understanding of what's going on there through Little Qiao An, "You know Yuchi and the fanatics? What are you doing now?"

"They said they wanted to go back to the stronghold first, and then withdraw from Liucheng after sorting out the things there." Little Qiao An hid her face behind my neck, trying to block the blast, "There seems to be teleportation inside the stronghold. coordinates, but they had to return on foot because they wanted to avoid being tracked."

"Are they acting together now?" I asked.

He shook his head, "No...the fanatic separated from Yuchi halfway, saying that he had to prepare something first to deal with Lie Que's follow-up pursuit."
