At this time, Fran had lost her perception of the outside world, and her biological instinct for caution taught her to treat everything with caution.
Five minutes passed.
Ten minutes passed.
Fifteen minutes passed.
The next second, a face with a strange smile popped out from the side of the alley.
It was the face of a handsome young man, with slightly curly bangs that highlighted a calmness unique to inner city residents.
The eight teeth that show when smiling make it even harder to find any problems.
But if a normal person saw this scene, he would definitely complain in his heart that the other person was being too pretentious.
The dummy "grew" and really didn't go away!
He scanned the entire alley with a terrifying smile, like a wild beast that had cornered its enemy and was now playing with its prey.
Although Fran had no ability to control her eyes at this time, she instinctively felt the brief twitch of her brain.
The damage caused by that fear was like a physical thing, and it seemed to have caused some pollution to her spirit.
At this moment, Fran was grateful for her own caution from the bottom of her heart. She was glad that she did not use her ability to transform into something inconspicuous, but just quietly played the role of a cat corpse.
She also approved of her decision not to repair her nerves and spine, after all, some reflexes cannot be hidden.
Just based on the sudden appearance just now, Fran would definitely have an obvious reaction. Even if it was just her eyes, her pupils would have obviously dilated or contracted.
The dummy "Mansheng" stared at this side for nearly three minutes.
Finally, he said, as if talking to himself or cheating:
"It seems that it is just an ordinary beast that accidentally ate the flesh and blood of an alien beast."
After saying that, he turned his head to look at the sky, a common anxious expression on human's face, then he turned and left the alley, looking quite hurried.
This time, Fran did not move rashly.
Caution and carefulness brought her a new opportunity, but it is unlikely to bring her a second one.
She lay quietly on the ground until it grew dark and tiny lights began to light up on the street.
Under the cover of darkness and shadow, Fran slowly repaired the wounds in her body.
The blood left by Lin Qingliu was like the best doctor, repairing the bones that had been shattered into pieces.
Finally, when the moon had climbed up into the sky, Fran's light green vertical pupils finally condensed again.
She slowly got up from the ground and limped out of the alley like a bullied child.
And on the rooftop behind her, "Nian" was staring at Fran's departing figure.
Light seemed to emanate from his cloudy eyes, and the skin on his expressionless face twitched slowly, eventually solidifying into a weird smile showing eight teeth.
"How could I be wrong?"
---
Fran walked four blocks and, with the help of the familiar buildings around her, she skillfully jumped onto the windowsill on the second floor of Lin Qingliu's new home on three legs.
Then she moved her claws and quickly opened the window which was not locked to begin with.
When I entered the house, Lin Qingliu had been waiting on the chair for a long time.
Fran looked like she had been wronged, and her limp seemed even worse than when she was outside.
She quickly came in front of Lin Qingliu and jumped onto his legs.
"Why didn't you use the thing I gave you?"
"Flan always feels that it will attract unnecessary attention..."
“…”
Lin Qingliu tilted his head slightly to show his surprise. In a sense, this little guy's guess was really accurate...
As early as several hours ago, when Fran died and the blood left in her body by Lin Qingliu ended its dormant state, Lin Qingliu had already noticed it.
He silently accepted the feeling of applying for permission in his heart and handed over the right to manipulate the blood to repair the body to Fran.
After that, he began to wait.
Lin Qingliu understood that with Fran's own intelligence, her abilities, and the components provided by Luke's friendship, it would be difficult for her to be injured so seriously.
But it happened, which means she encountered an enemy that she could not defeat.
Therefore, Lin Qingliu was already prepared and had made plans for the worst.
According to his current ability, it would not be difficult for him to escape even if he was surrounded by the top five teams without hurting innocent people.
But the situation was far better than he imagined.
After hearing Fran's narration of the whole process, Lin Qingliu was able to confirm two things.
First, the forces targeting Fran are from outside Hope City, most likely the Mycelial Will that once fought against her on this home turf.
Second, given that there are no ordinary humans or humans with super powers tracking Fran, Lin Qingliu can assume that Luke has not yet been defined as missing.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingliu couldn't help but sigh slightly. It would be great if these two groups of people could target Fran at the same time. He really wanted to be a spectator and watch the super-powered people from the two major forces play the game of who is the undercover in Hope City.
Unfortunately, the reality is not as good as imagined. Lin Qingliu is not sure whether there is a follower behind Fran when she comes back.
But his mentality was also very strange at this time. He was a little worried about those monster-like guys coming, but also a little bit expectant.
After all, he hasn't had a good fight since his abilities were enhanced.
Maybe that’s one of the troubles of being behind the scenes.

"Beep~ The signal is fuzzy. Beep~ The signal is fuzzy."
City of Hope, central spire.
Nia, who had handled a lot of affairs, was taking a nap. She had much more energy than the average human being. She was resting now so that she could better observe the recent situation in the black market at night.
There have been a lot of good things happening recently. The heir I have chosen has successfully passed the test and become a member of the exploration team.
I approved that document myself.
As for the rest, the matter of the last assassination has been investigated thoroughly, and the suspicion has basically been locked on those two old bastards, Kant and Vaughn.
On the other hand, Luke also seems to...
At this moment, the beeping alarm finally woke Nia up. She quickly looked at the display screen with a puzzled expression on her face.
The source of the signal turned out to be Luke.
Why is the signal so bad?
Nia couldn't understand it at all. After all, the components in Luke's body were truly high-end products, and even the research institute could hardly crack or imitate them.
Things like that won't be a problem as long as you don't leave the city.
And now, Luke's signal began to appear faintly on the Fourth Commercial Street.
Nia couldn't figure it out, but she soon thought of something.
During the incident when the believers first appeared, that is, when the research institute went out of control, all surveillance cameras at the scene showed signs of being interfered with.
this……
He actually found it!
Nia picked up the communicator beside her and sent a supreme order from the congressman to the General Staff:
"The [Believer] appears, immediately dispatch the three top fifteen teams to the Fourth Commercial Street."
