"What was lost this time?"
"Captain, this, this..."
"Go ahead, I can accept that."
"Small integrated processing machine tool."
"I'm a little tired to be honest."
“…”
Luke rarely said anything discouraging.
Today's events did happen suddenly, no matter what aspect of the matter it is true.
The five-day exploration time needs to be kept confidential, and Luke was only able to know this news because of his special identity as a senator's envoy.
But who is the mind flayer, him, or them?
How powerful must one be to be able to take action today with such accuracy?
When Luke thought of this, even his anger seemed to be eliminated by the cold.
When he first tried to track down the believers, he thought he was the cat and the other party was the mouse.
But after many incidents, he has gradually developed another strange sense of déjà vu.
He is indeed a cat, but what he is dealing with is not a mouse, but a net that keeps tightening once it wraps around him.
Luke is tormented by the success of his former teammates and his own failure today.
Is revenge wrong?
Is it wrong to seek out those dangerous elements that threaten peace?
Hope City is for the continuation of mankind, why should we hinder the development of Hope City?
Luke walked alone to the window near the crime scene and said to his men who followed him without turning his head:
“Just like before, investigate the parties who are not dead but have escaped, trace the clues behind the dead, and catch all the unclean ones.
"As for the Mind Flayer, step up your guard. Next time will be his last dance!"
Luke himself didn't quite believe what he said.
The human brain is capable of summarizing and thinking. Until this moment, Luke seemed to have finally achieved some spiritual mutual understanding with the squad leader Zhuang Mian who had been transferred to the purge team.
It is indeed very difficult to win with such a group of humans and machines.
In addition, their disappointments and failures will gradually accumulate and Luke can already imagine that if he cannot resolve the Mind Flayer incident within a month, no, within twenty days, then no matter whether the other party has any connection with the so-called believer, his team will become a piece of scrap metal and lose all their morale.
"How the hell did it turn out like this?"
The men behind him left, and Luke couldn't bear the grief and anger in his heart, so he cursed as if to vent.
Just then, he suddenly saw a person across the road through the window.
The man had a well-proportioned body and was tall, and his hands and feet looked quite powerful.
His hair was messy and long, his face was untidy, and he looked like a homeless person.
At the same time, his eyes would occasionally glance at the windows at the crime scene.
Because Luke was standing near the scene rather than inside it, he had not been discovered at this time.
His heart suddenly trembled, and as he looked at the face that was a little blurry due to the darkness, he slowly connected the other person with his own goal.
Luke resisted the urge to jump out the window and start the pursuit.
That was a bad habit he brought from the super-powered team that was suitable for frontal battlefields.
The most suitable fighting method for this position has never been a chase with loud drums and gongs, but a silent capture.
He really wanted to ask his teammates who were surveying the scene for help, but that wasn't possible this time.
The man was looking at the scene and the team members who were busy running around.
If I give orders rashly, it will definitely alert the other party, and then everything will be too late.
After thinking for two seconds, Luke decided that the opportunity was not to be missed and took action.
He leaned against the window, his body slightly tilted back, and fell directly from the second floor.
In the darkness, Luke used a protective shield to catch himself and landed on the ground silently.
Under the cover of darkness, he walked towards the person nearby little by little, like a normal pedestrian taking a walk.
It’s almost there, almost within range.
Luke's ability level is slightly lower than that of his father. Although there is no difference in the range of the protective shield, which can also cover the entire Hope City, the precision of the operation is much worse.
In order to capture the other party without killing him directly, he currently had to get within three meters of the other party, just like when he captured the little thief named Shi Jin.
Although the distance between the two was getting closer, there was no difference on Luke's face. He still had that calm and relaxed expression.
But at this moment, the man four or five meters away suddenly turned his head, as if someone was talking to him using a communicator.
Luke saw his body stiffen slightly, then turn his head to the right to look at him.
There was only a moment of pause between the two men, and the next moment, a fierce chase suddenly broke out.
"Mind Flayer, let me see what you can do!"
Luke roared in his heart, took a step forward and chased after him, his right hand slightly clenched, and the protective shield was ready to go.
On the other side, four or five meters in front of him, the man fully demonstrated what it looked like when a person with a guilty conscience was being chased.
He ran forward with big strides, looking back from time to time to measure the distance between them.
After turning several corners, the two gradually walked into a dark alley.
A high wall appeared in front of the man.
With no other options left, he turned and leaned against the wall, watching Luke warily.
"Mind Flayer, you are under arrest. Surrender and follow me."
"No, Mr. Luke, it's you who should come with us."
An incredibly young voice sounded behind Luke. He turned his body to ensure that while looking behind him, he could still catch a glimpse of the Mind Flayer he had trapped in his corner of the eye.
A boy who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old appeared at the place where he came from.
The indifference on his face was even greater than that of the Mind Flayer.
How did he appear?
Such doubts inevitably arose in Luke's mind.
The alley was dark and narrow. There was no one there when I came here, and there was no one behind me either. I really had no idea where this young man came from.
"It really is a team crime, but it doesn't matter. Catching one is the same as catching two."
As he was speaking, two translucent protective shields had already covered Li Rui, who was trapped in the corner, and El, who looked calm and composed.
El reached out and touched the floc-like protective shield and activated [Dimensional Displacement] but was unable to pass through it.
Sure enough, my ability is only applicable to ordinary objects. When facing other super powers, it may depend on the comparison of the energy levels of both parties.
Luke pressed the communicator in his pocket and waited for a response from his teammates.
I have already captured two mind flayers, and there may be others nearby.
But anyway, today is a great day.
And just then, he saw the young man take something out of his pocket.
His eyes glazed over for a moment.
