"Tsk... can't you run away?"
Adele dodged the incoming wind blades and fell to the ground. She gritted her teeth and looked at Edmund hanging in the sky. At this time, he waved the cane in his hand again, intending to shoot out another wave of wind blades. Adele slightly pulled down her sunglasses, and glanced at Edmund with the corner of her eyes. She used her ability to slightly deflect Edmund's attack desire. The accuracy of the wind blades shot by Edmund had a slight error, and Adele dodged them one by one. Some wind blades hit the ground, leaving traces of scratches on the ground, and other wind blades cut through many piled up goods.
"Hmph... You're quite good at hiding..."
Whispering softly, Edmund waved his staff again, and a small whirlwind rolled up around Adele. The small whirlwind rolled up the dust on the ground and enveloped Adele, limiting her vision for a moment. There was also the rumbling sound of wind in her ears. Edmund slashed countless wind blades into the storm.
Adele's vision and hearing were both limited. She could not see Edmund's moves nor hear the sound of the wind blades. It was much more difficult to dodge Edmund's wind blades, so she simply did not dodge. Instead, she used the power of the "cup" of the Cretaceous stage to grab an iron cargo box next to her that was nearly the size of a small container and blocked it in front of her. Edmund's wind blades hit the large iron cargo box, making a series of crisp sounds. The wind blades cut countless holes in the iron cargo box, and the full amount of water turtles inside rolled out from the cracks.
After using the iron cargo box as a shield to block Edmund's attack, Adele gritted her teeth and threw the several tons of iron cargo box and the cargo towards Edmund in the sky, but Edmund easily dodged it. Then she attacked Adele.
Just like that, Adele and Edmund started fighting at the cargo storage yard. Although both of them were extraordinary warriors of the Cretaceous stage, Adele was at a disadvantage when facing Edmund. For a few days, she could only passively defend and was unable to attack.
The reason for this is nothing else but that Adele needs to ensure that her identity is not exposed. Not to mention that her disguise cannot fall off, Adele wants to fully utilize her ability as a seductive dancer, which requires her to dance, and even remove her disguise to fully display her charm. Facing Edmund, an official extraordinary person, Adele absolutely does not want to expose her identity as a big star.
In order to keep her identity secret, Adele and Edmund were fighting with limited skills. She rarely used her abilities as a Lust Dancer, and only used some of the passive powers of her Beyonder of the "Cup" stage to fight. However, she was obviously no match for Edmund, and as the battle continued, Adele's disadvantage became more and more obvious.
"This is terrible... I can't get away from this crazy black dog... Is it possible that I can only fight him head-on here? But if I do this, my identity will be exposed, and it's hard to say whether the theater can continue to operate. I don't want to face the pursuit of the Wolf Blood Society and the Security Bureau at the same time in the future."
Adele thought anxiously, and at this time Edmund pointed the cane in his hand directly at her in the sky and fired an air cannon. Adele used desire to guide and barely avoided Edmund's attack. The air cannon shell hit the ground not far from Adele, and the ground was blown apart by the powerful impact. In order to avoid the sweeping air waves and flying gravel, Adele rolled directly on the ground. When she stood up, she saw Edmund pointing his cane at her again.
Just as Adele was about to continue dealing with Edmund, a burst of gunfire was heard from the scene. Edmund, who was about to attack, dodged the bullets flying towards him by turning sideways. He then looked in the direction of the gunfire and was slightly stunned.
At the edge of the cargo storage area, in the direction where the bullet had just come from, there was a row of people kneeling. There were about seven or eight of them, all dressed differently, and all looked like civilians. At this moment, they were all kneeling on the ground with their heads behind their heads, looking at Edmund in the distance with panic. Behind these people stood two ferocious-looking men holding pistols. They pointed their guns at the back of the heads of the people kneeling on the ground one by one, and one of them shouted at Edmund in the air.
"Hey! Listen to me, Black Dog! Stop and let them go right now! If not, I will blow their brains out! Do you understand?! If you understand, let them go! I'm warning you, Black Dog! I have hostages in my hands, so be careful!"
Behind a row of hostages kneeling in fear, a ferocious man who looked like a bandit shouted arrogantly. Facing the bandit's shouting, Edmund stared at the hostages kneeling and trembling on the ground in the distance, and could not help but turned his head and sneered at Adele below.
"Humph, it looks like he's your accomplice. You're really looking down on me by resorting to such despicable tricks."
Listening to Edmund's words, Adele looked towards the hostage-taking scene in the distance and couldn't help but smile.
"Heh... there's a new show again..."
Edmund responded coldly to the shouting of the evil man. While paying attention to Adele's movements, he silently looked at the two bandits who were holding hostages in the distance. The cane in his hand trembled slightly, and then two imperceptible tiny wind blades shot out at a high speed and rushed towards the "bandits". Before the two "bandits" could react, their throats were cut, and with blood gushing out, the two "bandits" fell to the ground dead.
After the "gangster" died, the "hostages" stood up screaming and fled the scene in fear. Just as Edmund was looking at the scene with satisfaction, an accident happened.
Those "hostages" who were fleeing suddenly started to stay where they were and cursed at each other. Their companions who had just been kidnapped started to point at each other and cursed loudly, and the curses became more and more fierce, and soon developed into a fight. Ordinary people started to swear at each other, punch each other, and even pinch each other's necks. Some people were beaten to the point of bleeding.
Seeing this scene, Edmund frowned. He had seen such a scene before. At the Tanmu intersection before, the people there also had an intensified conflict for no reason, and they started to curse and fight each other. The scene before him was a replica of that time.
These hostages are mentally controlled!
“Stop!”
Edmund shouted loudly, and then released wind blades again towards Adele on the side. Adele dodged it, but the hostages continued to fight each other. Some of them were already bleeding and their teeth were broken, but they still did not stop. Edmund immediately accelerated his attack on Adele, using wind to blow up dust to block her vision, and used more fierce attacks to force Adele to have no time to control those "hostages", but it was useless. The "hostages" continued to curse and fight each other, and some even knocked others' heads open. The people with broken heads fell directly to the ground, bleeding all over the floor.
"It's useless... I can't stop them from killing each other by attacking that woman, even if I block her sight. Is it that she still has the energy to maintain control under such an attack... or... is she not a controller at all!?"
Edmund thought so, and at this moment, the eyes of one of the "hostages" suddenly became confused. He turned his head to look at Edmund and shouted loudly.
"Don't think you can save them by killing my men? No! You freed their bodies... but their spirits are in my hands... they can't escape. Black Dog, listen to me and leave here immediately! Otherwise, I will control more innocent people to kill each other!"
The bruised and battered "hostage" threatened Edmund. Listening to the obscene words uttered under this mental control, Edmund was finally convinced that the one manipulating these people's minds was not the woman he was chasing after, but someone else.
So, who is he!? Where is he now? If his ability is limited by distance, or even requires the controller's field of vision, then he is most likely nearby!
Edmund thought anxiously, and then he began to quickly scan the surroundings, trying to find any suspicious targets, because he knew that the premise of activating many extraordinary abilities was to perceive the target object, and the most direct perception was to see it visually.
Finally, Edmund discovered the edge of the stockpile from a high-altitude perspective. There was a figure hiding behind a street lamp. He poked his head out and looked inside furtively, looking at the "hostages" who were fighting each other.
Found it.
Seeing this, Edmund directly released a wind blade towards that direction, which cut a hole in the iron lamppost. The hiding figure was frightened by this scene, and then turned around and ran away.
Just as the figure ran away, the "hostages" who were about to kill each other suddenly stopped. They were stunned for a moment and then fled in fear. Seeing this scene, Edmund was delighted.
'The extraordinary ability was interrupted! It was him! '
After confirming the real mastermind, Edmund chased in the direction of the other party's escape without hesitation, and no longer cared about Adele.
Because Edmund's most important mission target this time is the extraordinary person who can influence the spirit of the residents of the entire coal ash area and cause the crime rate to rise. From the performance just now, compared with Adele, the escaped figure is more in line with this option. Compared with Adele, that figure is a more important target!
On the other hand, while Edmund shifted his target, Adele immediately fled in the opposite direction, successfully got rid of Edmund's pursuit, and escaped into the city of the coal ash area.
