Chapter 397 Raven
In the office of the director of Tianhai City Special Management Bureau.
Chang Yue handed the documents on the table to Li Muhan and Lin Ze.
Li Muhan originally wanted to answer it, but he seemed to realize that Lin Ze was present. Even if he was anxious now, he should not go beyond his level. However, Lin Ze did not seem to care about this. After taking the information, he walked to Li Muhan and Xia Yue and opened the information.
But when he turned to the first page, Li Muhan was stunned.
Because this information is a file, and it can be seen from the iron box on the table that the file was taken out of the box. Li Muhan didn't understand but Lin Ze knew that this was the Special Management Bureau's highest-level top-secret file.
"...Captain of the Seventh Squad of the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau, name: Zuo Xin, race: human, codename..."
When they saw the code name column, Lin Ze and others were stunned for a moment, because the content displayed in that column had been erased manually. It was not the kind of scribbling with a pen, but the whole piece was directly cut off.
"Li Muhan, look, is this the man?"
Lin Ze handed the information to Li Muhan, and her finger was exactly where the photo in the file was.
"......" Li Muchan leaned in closer to take a closer look. The man in the photo looked a few years older than Li Muchan. He had a very delicate and handsome appearance, and there was a gentleness between his eyebrows. Both his hair and the early Special Management Bureau uniform on his body were neatly trimmed, without a single flaw.
"Not like it." He remembered the man he had met before, with disheveled hair, one face burned and the other covered with knife wounds.
Then he found that he could not connect the two people together no matter what.
"Director Chang, is this the man you're talking about, Raven?"
Seeing that Li Muhan couldn't tell for a moment, Lin Ze looked up at Chang Yue and asked. Then she and Li Muhan both found that Chang Yue's face was full of fatigue. This was a Chang Yue that Li Muhan had never seen before.
He couldn't imagine that such a powerful person would look so tired.
"I don't know if it was him you met, but he..."
Chang Yue sighed, tapped his finger on the table and said, "But he is not my apprentice, Raven."
......
At the same time, in an abandoned bungalow in the western suburbs of Tianhai City.
The man slowly opened his eyes, as if waking up from a long sleep. His gaze passed through the mottled light and shadow and fell on the messy rags beneath him.
These rags were once his makeshift bed, but now they reflect his loneliness and confusion.
There was a deep confusion in his eyes, as if his doubts about his own identity had reached a peak at this moment.
"who I am......."
Suddenly, a pitch-black blade appeared in his palm, like a ghost in the darkness, bringing a familiar glimmer of light to his world.
The moment he grasped the hilt of the knife, the man's confusion subsided slightly, and a hoarse and low voice emerged from his throat, each word like a fragment struggling out from the depths of his memory.
"...I...am...Raven."
He stood up with difficulty and walked out of the dilapidated abandoned bungalow. Outside the door was the noisy garbage disposal center of Tianhai City.
A worker in work clothes was shouting at him: "Hey! This is not a place to sleep! Go away!"
The man was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned his head, his deep eyes looking directly at the worker.
The worker's eyes met his, and he shuddered when he saw the man's terrifying face, then immediately turned and fled from this disturbing scene.
After the worker disappeared from his sight, the man's hand groped in his arms, and after a moment, a photo eroded by time slipped out.
Each of the four people in the photo carries a different story.
The man on the far left is tall and slender, with a handsome face that exudes ruthlessness.
The middle-aged man next to him was burly, with a beard, a gentle smile, and his hands in his pockets, as if he was enjoying the comfort of life.
Next came a handsome young man, his arms around the middle-aged man and the girl beside him.
The girl had a slender figure, but her face was deliberately blank, like a forgotten memory or an unreachable pain.
The photo, like the man's identity, is shrouded in mystery and loss.
The man's fingers gently stroked the photo, and he spoke in a low voice as he explored.
"...Wuzhiqi...Gengyang...Raven...Yes, this...is me...I am...Raven, but...who is she...?"
The man's fingers lingered on the girl's face, which was completely invisible, and gently stroked it. Then, a voice seemed to suddenly ring in his head, and he knelt on the ground, growling in pain.
This situation lasted for several minutes before the man slowly stood up, the photo in his hand replaced with two black blades.
“…Not one… can escape.”
When he raised his head again, anger and hatred flashed in his eyes again.
......
In Chang Yue's office, Li Muhan finally learned the true identity of the attacker.
The man mentioned in the file was none other than Zuo Xin, the captain of the Seventh Squad ten years ago, and the attacker in this case of the Special Management Bureau members being attacked.
However, Chang Yue denied that he was his apprentice Raven.
"Although this young man is quite talented and I mentored him for a while, I never officially accepted him as a disciple."
Chang Yue's expression darkened. He turned to Li Muhan and asked sharply, "You mentioned earlier that this man's weapons were two black blades?"
Li Muhan nodded affirmatively. "Yes, he can also create clones. Those cut by the blade will be infected with a strange aura that hinders the healing of the wound and continues to erode the injured person's body."
He removed the Band-Aid on his cheek, and everyone saw a faint scar on the side of Li Muhan's face, with wisps of black air still coming out around the wound.
"Even my demonic powers cannot completely dispel this aura."
Chang Yue stood up, walked to Li Muhan's side, gently pinched his cheek, carefully examined the wound, and finally nodded slightly: "...It seems that things are much more complicated than we thought."
Lin Ze interrupted him anxiously, no longer addressing him as Chang Ju: "Chang Yue, the situation is very complicated now. Director Lan of the Medical Department said that Lin Ziyu has at most three days to live."
Her tone revealed her nervousness and worry; the seriousness of the situation made it impossible for her to remain calm.
"The weapons and powers you just described about this attacker are exactly the same as those of my apprentice, Raven."
Chang Yue said with a frown.
"Then how can you be sure this isn't your apprentice? Look." Li Muhan pointed at the photo and said, "The one in the photo is so different from what I saw. Maybe he really has changed a lot?"
But Chang Yue still shook his head, and finally said something that left Li Muhan and Lin Ze speechless: "No matter how big the change is, it can't be a gender change. My apprentice, Raven, is a woman."
