Chapter 743 Dragon Hunting
Putte East Coast, Tivian.
At a noisy intersection somewhere in the East City of Tivian, when Adele, the undisputed superstar of Tivian, appeared here, the scene suddenly became chaotic. The audience who were originally watching the ritual music performance immediately became crazy after hearing the first person exclaim the name of the city's household dancer.
Screaming and enthusiastically, countless people rushed towards the actress who suddenly appeared on the street. The smiling figure was quickly submerged in the surging crowd. The few guards who were originally following Adele closely were suddenly blocked by the surging crowd. Because of the wall of people in front of them, they lost sight of Adele for a moment.
"What should we do...should we rush in to find her?" Seeing the scene in front of him, an Eight-Point Guard couldn't help but say with a serious expression, and the captain of the guard next to him answered seriously.
"These people have their desires controlled... If we rush in directly, we will be in even more trouble. We must not fall into her trap..." The guard chief of Bajian said this seriously. He understood that when facing the path of desire, such crowded places are very disadvantageous. Rushing in to look for people is definitely a bad idea, as he will only be dragged around in circles by the crowd controlled by the other party.
Fortunately, this group of people was specifically assigned to carry out the mission against Adele. They had anticipated such a scenario and had plenty of ways to deal with it.
First, the chief guard of Bajian took out a glasses-shaped "lamp" prop. This prop has the function of directly penetrating obstacles and seeing traces of high spirituality. After putting on this prop, the chief guard of Bajian quickly scanned the crowd in front of him, but did not find anything. It was obvious that Adele was wearing some kind of "shadow" prop to counter the "lamp" detection.
The Eight-pointed Guard Captain and his men were not surprised that Adele was wearing the "shadow" prop. Faced with this situation, the Eight-pointed Guard Captain did not waste time to fight against Adele with "light" and "shadow" and to use the method of consuming the other party's "shadow" to conduct strong investigation. Although Adele was not a Beyonder involved in "shadow", they were also not involved in "light". The "light" and "shadow" spirituality of both of them all depended on the outside world, and it was not certain who could consume the other. So when he saw that the "light" was ineffective, the Eight-pointed Guard Captain immediately collected the props and did not waste time using other methods to find Adele.
The next method was to use their high-altitude view. They had people on the rooftops of the streets on both sides to monitor the crowd below. Including the guard captain himself, there were three white vampires among them. They all transformed into bats and spread the small bats that were transformed from their bodies in the air, monitoring the movements of the crowd below together with the people on the rooftops!
Although looking down from above, the streets are full of people's heads and various hats, but Adele's hat is so large and decorated that it is extremely eye-catching. It is easy to capture it from a high altitude perspective. Just by looking at the hat, you can know where Adele is in the crowd.
For example, now, in the eyes of the captain of guards, he can see Adele's hat moving towards the west in the crowd. At first glance, Adele is now trying to blend in with the crowd and sneak out from the west.
Dang... this is only what it looks like at first glance. Guard Captain Bajian would not think that Adele wanted to sneak out through the crowd. She would not be so stupid as not to cover up and change such a conspicuous hat. Now the hat is thinking of going over to that side, but the person under the hat is definitely not Adele, it can only be a bait!
In order to find Adele first, the guard chief of Bajian had other tricks up his sleeve. He secretly communicated with one of his colleagues who was observing on the rooftop and asked him to specifically follow the suspicious target wearing a hat, and then he started a new action.
While thinking about it, the Eight-pointed Guard Captain and another Eight-pointed Cretaceous who was on the rooftop for surveillance took out a talisman at the same time and used it without thinking too much. After the talisman burned, they all gained a new ability, a powerful sense of smell.
This is the Seeking Talisman, which allows the user to gain a super strong sense of smell that surpasses many animals. He can rely on searching for scents to lock onto the target's location, and even if mixed in with so many people, he can still find the source of the scent he has remembered.
When they came here, these Cretaceous people from the Eight Points had already used the Seeking Talisman to record the smell of Adele when she went out that day. Now after using the Seeking Talisman again, they can find Adele's location among the crowd based on the smell in their memory.
Not long after, the Eight-pointed Guard Captain smelled the scent of Adele that he had recorded before in the mixed crowd. As he expected, the scent of Adele was also moving in the crowd, but the direction of movement was not to the west where they had seen the hat moving before, but to somewhere in the east. The direction of the hat's movement was inconsistent with the direction of the smell's movement, and they were separated...
So, this proves that the hat is indeed a bait, and the direction Adele is actually moving is in the east... right?
Although he had smelled the correct direction of Adele's breath, and it seemed that Adele's body was moving in that direction, the Eight-pointed Guard Captain still did not move immediately at this moment, because he believed that it was not possible to directly determine that Adele's body was located just by smell...
According to the intelligence from Bajian, Adele Buchuzu has a deep feud with the Afterbirth Cult...especially the Wolfblood Society within it. Adele was once hunted by the Wolfblood Society.
The werewolves in the Wolf Blood Society are all gifted with a stronger sense of smell than the Breath-Seeking Seal. Adele was able to survive until now despite being targeted by the Wolf Blood Society, so she must have the ability to counter the strong sense of smell.
According to the intelligence that Bajian had bought from the Wolf Blood Society, Adele was an expert at mixing scents with various perfumes. She never had a fixed scent, and her scent changed every day. She could change her scent in a short period of time according to her needs, and even give other targets the scent she wanted. Relying on this skill, Adele had escaped from the Wolf Blood Society many times.
Since Adele has such skills... then would she have expected that she would use the Seeking Breath Seal to track him down? After all, in the more popular extraordinary field, in addition to using the relevant seals and props of the "Lamp", the Seeking Breath Seal of the "Cup" is quite useful to track down a person. There is no reason for Adele not to consider it.
After considering all this, the Eight-pointed Guard Captain still did not send too many people to intercept the recorded smell source, but only arranged for another white chalk on the roof to keep an eye on it. As for himself, he had to use one last method to confirm Adele's location. In the rare contacts before, the Eight-pointed Guard Captain and his men left some marks on Adele's body, and he now wanted to confirm the status of these marks.
This mark was left by the Eight-Pointed Guard Captain when they met Adele at the very beginning. When Adele asked them for evidence of the transfer of her performance venue, the backs of the written documents given to Adele were first covered with a layer of extremely fine and sharp spider hairs by the Eight-Pointed Guard Captain. The hairs were so small that they could not be seen clearly with the naked eye. As soon as the hand came into contact with them, it would directly pierce the skin, leaving a whole layer of piercings on the palm.
Because the thorns are too small and contain a very small amount of anesthetic ingredients, they will not affect the nerves for a short time after piercing the skin, so people who touch them will not even feel anything.
After piercing the human body, this kind of velvet thorn will begin to fall off from the skin little by little at irregular intervals, floating in the air and beginning to secrete an extremely weak pheromone. The mother spider that grows these velvet thorns has the ability to sense these pheromones, and can use them to confirm the entry route of the person pricked by the velvet thorn.
This peculiar tracking spider is the latest achievement bred by Bajian recently. During the whole process of tracking, this spider will hardly be involved in any obvious extraordinary activities. It can suppress spiritual traces to the minimum and is extremely difficult to be detected by ordinary means. No matter whether it is ordinary or extraordinary, it is difficult to escape the tracking of this method.
Now the Eight-pointed Guard Captain has quietly taken out a small bottle from his pocket. After he opened the bottle, a ten-foot-tall, brightly colored spider crawled out and landed on the back of the Eight-pointed Guard Captain's hand. After circling around the back of the Eight-pointed Guard Captain's hand twice, the little spider made a small, sharp sound in one direction.
This direction is north relative to the crowd at the scene. It is not the direction where the hat target went before, nor is it the direction where the smell target just went... Such a result technically proves that both the hat and the smell are baits specially designed by Adele.
"You are really cautious and meticulous... a big star..."
After muttering softly for a while, the Eight-pointed Guard Captain stepped forward, leading the people behind him, and walked around the crowd in the direction indicated by the spider in his hand. His steps were very fast, and when they left the street and entered the intricate alleys of the city, the Eight-pointed Guard Captain directly ran quickly.
Just as the Eight-Pointed Guard Captain was climbing up various buildings and crossing alleys under the guidance of the spider and approaching the target at a very fast speed, the other two people he sent to follow had already sent him a message through the spider that they had found the target.
Based on the images transmitted by the corpse dolls they carried, the captain of the guard was already able to form a close-up image of the two targets.
First, there was the target wearing Adele's hat. Now she was walking on a sparsely populated road. Through observation, the captain of the eight guards found that although the target woman was not wearing Adele's hat, she was not wearing the clothes that Adele had worn before. Although her face was not covered, the part of her eyes that was exposed had Adele's characteristics and the makeup was the same, but her figure was somewhat different from Adele. Although she was also tall and strong, her breasts seemed to be bigger.
Although this target is very similar to Adele, her gait is not as rhythmic and graceful as Adele's. Her eyes are also looking around, and there seems to be some nervousness in them. This is also an expression that Adele would never have. This is obviously not Adele...
Next, it was the target with Adele's scent. Like the hat target before, the scent target was wearing a completely different outfit from Adele's previous clothes, and a scarf covered her face to reveal her eyes. The shape of her eye makeup was exactly the same as Adele's, and there was almost no difference in her figure. At first glance, it looked like Adele.
However, the careful Eight-pointed Guard Captain could still see that although the person in front of him looked more like Adele than the previous hat target, she was still not Adele. The reason was her pace and demeanor. This Adele's gait was too rough and big, and it was hard to say that she had any elegance and grace. Her eyes were also too direct and sharp, unlike Adele's usual indifference and laziness.
In order to prepare for the day's operation, this group of eight top teams had been planning for a long time. In order not to be deceived by false targets during the mission, they spent a lot of time getting to know Adele.
With the help of the Black Dream Hunters, the Eight Points found several loyal fans of Adele in Tivian, almost all of whom would go to see every performance of Adele. Then the Black Dream pseudo-moths absorbed the information in their dream cocoons during their sleep, extracting a large number of memories about Adele's performances and attendance at events. The Eight Points Guard Chief and his men reviewed hundreds of thousands of hours of various Adele memories through dreaming, and accurately sorted out Adele's demeanor, posture, tone, gait, movements, temperament and other information from these memories. After storing this information in memory, they can very accurately distinguish whether an Adele is real or fake.
For example, according to their judgment, the first target's figure, expression and gait are not right. The second one looks perfect, but there are big problems with his expression and gait. Now the only one left is the third one...
After confirming that the third target was the most suspicious, the Eight-pointed Guard Captain immediately stepped up the speed of pursuit. At this time, he suddenly noticed from the little spider in his hand that the key target he was tracking seemed to be accelerating. In order to be on the safe side, he secretly contacted and sent a message to the other two companions who were supposed to be stalking in other directions, asking them to leave a few people to continue stalking and then switch targets to intercept the target he was currently tracking from other directions...
After a while, the other two accomplices of Guard Captain Bajian immediately turned around and went to the location designated by Guard Captain Bajian and joined in the coordinated pursuit. After a while, one of Guard Captain Bajian's accomplices found the target circling in the alley and about to escape to the main road on the rooftop of a building. Her image was directly transmitted to the eyes of Guard Captain Bajian.
That was also a woman. Although the clothes and hat she wore were still different from the previous Adele, the exposed eyes, facial features, makeup, figure, and gait were all the same. Compared with the previous two targets, this one was the closest to Adele!
After seeing this scene, the Eight-Pointed Guard Captain couldn't help but feel excited, and then he accelerated again to the predetermined interception position. After flying a distance as a bat and constantly taking shortcuts by jumping over rooftops, the Eight-Pointed Guard Captain finally stopped Adele at the entrance to the main road before she was about to leave the alley.
"Ms. Bu Yuzi... where are you going? We've had a lot of trouble looking for you..."
Standing at the entrance of the alley, with his back to the flowing crowd and carriages behind him, the Chief Guard Bajian, who was still wearing a guard uniform, spoke slowly to the female figure in front of him who looked obviously surprised. Listening to the words of Chief Guard Bajian, the female figure was stunned where she was. After taking a look ahead, she decisively turned her head and looked behind her.
Later, the woman turned around and immediately found that there was a man standing on one of the two alleys at the fork in the road behind her. They were staring at the woman with cold eyes, blocking her retreat. Faced with this situation, the woman tried to look up, and then saw that there were several eyes on the tops of the buildings on both sides, silently looking at her.
"Don't even think about running away... Miss Buzzard... We have made full preparations to escort you safely to the stage that belongs to you.
"Don't try to get rid of us unless you are strong. Of course, if you really want to use violence, we are happy to accompany you..." Looking at the woman in front of him who seemed to be still looking for flaws in the surroundings, the Eight-pointed Guard Captain said slowly and solemnly that they had not only made full preparations for tracking Adele, but also for a head-on conflict with Adele, and more. In case of a conflict, their team had a series of countermeasures against Adele, and they were not afraid at all.
Looking at the crowd that was surrounding them, the masked woman who was surrounded in the middle frowned and looked around. She seemed to shake her head slightly, took off her scarf, and revealed her face. It was Adele's face, exactly the same as in the memory of the captain of the Eight-Point Guard.
"Haha... you are such an enthusiastic audience. I have shaken off many reporters before, so I thought it would be no problem to deal with you guys. It seems like this is the right strategy~"
Facing the Eight-pointed Guard Captain in front of him, Adele showed a trace of helplessness in her expression, spread her hands and said with a wry smile. Seeing the words and expression of the woman in front of him, the Eight-pointed Guard Captain immediately made an urgent comparison with the impression in his memory and found that it was completely consistent. The woman in front of him was Adele. Others could not learn such extreme details.
After confirming Adele's identity, the Eight-Point Guard Captain secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked straight ahead and spoke seriously.
"So... Miss Bu Yuzi, has she decided where her future will be?" The Eight-Pointed Guard Captain said this, and Adele shrugged and spoke.
"It's up to you... let's go to the venue. I don't lack this opportunity anyway..." Adele, who seemed to have given up completely, walked forward, and the captain of the Eight Guards followed closely beside Adele, while the others strengthened the surveillance and security of Adele by secretly monitoring him to ensure that he could not escape their control.
"Adele Bujuzi tried to escape surveillance, but has been successfully re-controlled. There is no need to worry about her going to the conference venue..."
While following Adele in front, the captain of the Eight Tips guard used the miniature human-faced spider he carried with him to report to the Eight Tips senior officials who were in control of the overall situation in the distance, saying that they would be responsible for regulating the daily movements of the Eight Tips in other areas.
Although Guard Captain Bajian didn't know what the plans of his accomplices in other areas were, he only needed to do his own task and prevent Adele from interfering with the situation over there.
So far, their plan has been executed quite well, which will undoubtedly provide sufficient guarantee for the smooth implementation of their companions' plans.
…
Somewhere in the eastern suburbs of Putt, at the Plaza de Nations.
On the vast and huge square, in front of the sparkling and magnificent Crystal Palace, the temporary venue for the opening ceremony of the World Expo is bustling with people and bustling with activity.
Among the tens of thousands of spectators, a middle-aged man dressed in jeans with overalls, a T-shirt, and a brown top hat, looking neat, was standing in a corner of the stairs at the entrance of the auditorium with a broom in his hand. He heard the news from his superiors from the small human-faced spider in his ear. After confirming some of the information, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Adele Bujuzi has been successfully stopped and is waiting for the opening to begin. The plan is to proceed as usual..."
Such news had just been spread through various covert means to everyone lurking in every corner of the vast scene. After eliminating Adele, the unstable factor, their plan could be carried out on time.
The "cleaner" heaved a sigh of relief and turned his gaze towards the venue in front of him. At this moment, countless audiences, after a long wait, cheered even louder because of the sudden sound of music on the scene. The eight-pointed cleaner knew that this was the signal for the official start of the opening ceremony of the entire expo, and the signal they were waiting for was expected to come shortly after the opening.
When the sky suddenly turned gloomy and it started to rain, it was time for them to take action.
As the huge orchestra began to perform, majestic music sounded at the venue. Amid the music, the noise at the scene finally gradually died down, and countless audiences turned their attention to the scene, waiting for the opening with great anticipation.
Amid the music, there were bursts of loud noises outside the venue, which were the sounds of salutes. After the salute, the rhythm of the music changed slightly, and two neat teams of knights and cavalry came out from the two sides of the venue. The neatly dressed Putt riders rode their horses into a formation, and began to circle the stage with solemn and heroic expressions, performing a pleasing equestrian formation performance. The atmosphere of the whole scene was like the scene of a tournament held by the king in the Middle Ages, but on a much larger scale.
As the riders' performances won applause from the audience, a group of men in long gowns appeared on the stage. They lined up, opened their mouths together, and sang the solemn and magnificent Putin anthem in a deep voice. As the Putin anthem, which praises the royal family, was sung, the riders began to change their formations and lined up neatly on both sides of a south-facing gate of the venue. When the leader gave a shout, the riders with solemn faces drew their sabers and placed them in front of their chests to salute respectfully.
After the riders' procession, the heavy door slowly opened, and a person from one of the ceremonial processions slowly stepped out.
This column was also a column of riders, but the knights were all late medieval knights wearing armor and helmets, holding spears and flags, silent and solemn. At the head of this column of knights were two male figures standing side by side.
One of them was riding a black horse, wearing a crown, a gorgeous armor and a cloak, with sharp eyes, one hand holding the sword and the other holding the reins. This was the current king of the Kingdom of Putin, Charles IV.
Another figure was riding a white horse, wearing a white mitre and a luxurious robe, with a hard face and a sharp gaze, holding the reins in one hand and a scepter in the other. This was the current Archbishop Putin, who was currently serving as Archbishop Samuel at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity.
The king and the great priest, in this world, are the symbols of the highest power of an important country. They are the representatives of religious power and secular power. They usually attend together on extremely important occasions, just like now, and their status is generally not much different.
After the king and the archbishop appeared, the audience burst into the loudest and most enthusiastic cheers so far. Amid the cheers, Charles IV and Samuel waved to the crowd around them while leading the procession through the audience seats to the front of the VIP seats.
There, the two big men dismounted, and after greeting each other, they climbed the stairs reserved for them. The nobles and foreign representatives in the VIP seats also stood up and took off their hats to salute them. Finally, in the respectful eyes, the two came to the VIP stand, Charles IV sat in the first seat, and Samuel sat in the second seat.
After the two important figures were seated, the soldiers and riders present shouted in unison.
"Holy Blessed King!!"
"Holy Blessed King!!"
Following the soldiers, all the audience, regardless of their status, began to shout together, and the scene was thunderous. The "holy" here refers to the three glorious saints represented by the Great Church, and the king refers to the Buddha himself. The divine right of kings is still the tone of politics in most countries in this world.
"Holy Euphrates!"
Facing the calling scene in front of him, Charles IV, who was sitting on the throne, stretched out his hand forward and shouted loudly as if in response. After that, the atmosphere on the scene became even more enthusiastic.
In this warm atmosphere, the opening ceremony of the Putin World Expo officially began. There was no support at the scene and everything unfolded naturally. After the king and the archbishop officially took their seats, one show after another began to take the stage.
First, there was the equestrian performance by the numerous military riders who were still on the scene. After the skilled riders performed round after round of exciting stunts and received countless exclamations, a choir took the stage as the riders left the stage. After singing a powerful chorus that sang praises to the history of Putte, the gentlemen in neat suits gradually left the stage amid applause. Then, to the sound of cheerful music, the dancers in gorgeous dance skirts and masks, with agile and brisk movements, took the stage.
Amid the cheerful music, figures that came onto the stage from different directions danced happily. Their movements were in unison and rhythmic, and they kept leaping and circling on the stage.
At the beginning of this dance, all the performers were equal, and all of them were part of the whole large dance, and they used their individual movements to build the overall coordination. But I don't know when it started, as the dance went on, the movements of one of the dancers began to become different.
