In order to prepare for the next time he wears a comic book, Cesare spent a huge amount of money to find professionals to customize a training plan for him.

In the past, his body could not support him to do too much physical exercise. Now that he has this opportunity, he not only does not feel it is hard, but he enjoys the process of learning new things.

In addition, he also decided on his next strategy based on the reactions of comic readers.

After all, his background is a blank, and his appearance is full of suspicious points, so there is a lot of room for making a big fuss.

Seven days passed in a flash.

…

Baixiang District Executive Office.

"What did you say? He's dead?!"

The mayor of Baixiang District felt his heart aching as he listened to his subordinate's report.

Their White Elephant District was originally one of the most marginal districts, which meant that it was relatively far away from the Eastwood Lunatic Prison compared to the other marginal districts, so it was not as dead as other marginal districts. For a poor district like theirs, any surrendered gifted holder was an extremely precious resource.

But just last night, Bai Xiang, a talent holder in a mere third-level prison, was killed!

"District Chief, do we need to issue a wanted warrant?"

"What kind of wanted order is this?" The district chief was annoyed. "This matter involves a gifted person. What kind of wanted order do you think we should issue? What if the incident gets out of hand and attracts the attention of the picket tower? Let them know that the Kaili family was massacred and we found two children as scapegoats?"

Because the location of the marginal area is closer to the Eastwood Lunatic Prison, the control of the picket tower is much weaker than other places, but it does not mean that they don't care! If they come, judging by the stubborn, tyrannical and bloodthirsty appearance of those people, they will definitely not get away with it.

"Anyway, that guy has a lot of enemies and has offended many people. As long as we keep his information hidden, no one will care whether he lives or dies." The district chief looked grim. "The key is that one of the two who escaped must be a talent holder of C-level ability... or even above!"

"Send someone to investigate. If you can recruit him, do so. If not... kill him while he's still sick. Don't leave any trouble behind!"

Anyway, he is just a kid whose talent has just been awakened.

No matter how they escaped from prison, killing a person with the same level of talent would definitely cost a lot of energy. If we don't seize the opportunity now, it will be too late when they recover and want revenge!

…

"Cesare, should we go back to Kaili's house? Maybe there are some clues there."

After escaping from prison, Xia Zuo confessed to Xizel about his experience in Kaili's house - after all, Xizel had been implicated, and he had no reason to hide it from him.

What's more, Xi Zeer's past experience didn't seem to be very good. You could tell from his physical condition. He was alone, so he couldn't help but want to take good care of him.

And...he promised to protect Xizel.

"You want to go back?" The black-haired boy wore a hood to shield him from the night dew, but he looked a little listless because he was walking.

The boy's misty blue eyes seemed impossible to fathom, and one would want to back off when touched by the hazy coldness. However, Xia Zuo was completely unaware of this and got along very naturally with Xizel.

He nodded: "Yeah, Cesar, what do you think?"

The brown-haired boy said energetically: "If you are a little tired, I can still carry you!"

Xizel: “…”

He recalled the dark experience in prison in the second round when Xia Zuo carried him until he was dizzy, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"lead the way."

Xia Zuo was very happy: "Thank you for accompanying me, Xizel!"

...But why did he feel a slight chill on his back every time Xizel smiled?

Well, it's probably an illusion. Cesar looks better when he smiles, so he should smile more often.

The black-haired boy looked away.

He pulled his hood down, calculating the route and distance ahead while observing the surrounding environment.

Because Xia Zuo needed to take care of the speed of his physical weakness, they didn't actually go very far, but at least they had walked out of the wilderness where the prison was located and could see residential areas.

Because of the existence of a special ability system called talent in this world, with a large amount of resources tilted, its technology tree is very strange and the development is very uneven. At the same time, technological products are rarely used in daily life, and slightly poorer areas appear to be very backward - such as the White Elephant District.

There are no surveillance cameras in prisons, let alone ordinary homes.

"Xizel, would you like something to eat?" Xia Zuo disappeared for a while, and soon came back with some wild fruits, happily presenting them to Xizel.

Xizel was slightly startled. He hadn't eaten fruit for a long time. In addition, he had no appetite. Even his three meals a day were taken specially to ensure nutrition, let alone buying some fruits to eat.

“…”

He couldn't help but smile, stretched out his hand to take one, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Have you washed it?"

"...No," Xia Zuo blinked dully, "Can't we just wipe it and eat it?"

Without waiting for Xizel to speak, he exclaimed again: "You look so good when you smile. No one I've ever met before is as good-looking as you, really!"

Xia Zuo didn't see where Xizel put the fruit, he only knew that his hands were soon empty and he looked relaxed. He didn't get annoyed when he heard that, but said slowly: "Since you are so sweet, we won't go back to Kaili Manor."

"Ah?" The brown-haired boy scratched his head, unable to figure it out, so he simply asked, "Xize, can you tell me why?"

Xizel looked at him lovingly: "What do you think is the probability that the officials are waiting there?"

Without waiting for Xia Zuo to answer, he gave the answer without thinking: "One hundred percent."

"They want to conceal their tracks and silence the witnesses. The ruined Carey Manor is the best place to bury the bones."

Xizel's expression was calm, and his tone was calm. When he talked about this matter, it was as if the person being targeted was not him.

"…"Then why did you seem happy about my past?

Xia Zuo decided to ignore this terrible question.

He thought about it and was a little confused again: "But how do they know that we will definitely return to Kaili Manor? What if we don't go back?"

The black-haired boy glanced at him with a half-smile and said in a gentle voice: "So what are you doing now?"

Xia Zuo: "...Go back to the manor QAQ."

The brown-haired boy was completely dumbfounded. He obviously couldn't imagine that those people were so insidious and could even foresee his future actions. It seemed as if he was rushing into the arms of the enemy.

"To them, Xia Zuo, even if you have talent, you are just a child." Xizel analyzed for him: "A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, who fainted when his family suffered a drastic change and escaped the disaster. When he woke up, he appeared in prison and was wrongly accused of being a murderer..."

"What do you think the probability is that he would not want to go back to the family's neighborhood after finally escaping?"

He smiled harmlessly: "If it were me, I would also go to Kaili Manor to wait."

——After all, it is not easy to search secretly at night. Only this place has an extremely clear direction. If you can squat there, you will make a profit. If you can't squat there, you can continue searching in other places and you won't suffer any loss.

Xia Zuo: “…”

The innocent brown-haired boy was deeply hurt by the sinister adults. Hearing this, he showed a QAQ expression: "So what should we do next?"

"Go to the Central District." Caesar, noticing that the male protagonist of the comic book seemed to be somewhat dependent on him, tilted his head and said a little more: "The White Elephant District is one of the fifteen marginal districts. Their armed forces cannot enter the superior area without permission. If they want to arrest the escaped criminals, they need to write a report and application, or directly issue a wanted order."

"But the Kerry family's case was handled too dishonorably, and it involved two gift holders - one of whom might even have a criminal record. It can't be made public."

Xia Zuo suddenly realized: "So as long as we leave the White Elephant District, they won't be able to attack us again."

His eyes sparkled: "Cesare, you are so awesome!"

Xizel: “…”

This is something that any normal person would think of, are you serious?

...Forget it, I almost forgot that Xia Zuo is an abnormal person who is not very good at using his brain.

"What about his criminal record?" The brown-haired boy was interested. "How do you know he has committed a crime?"

Xizel blinked and said calmly, "It doesn't necessarily mean that he has committed a crime. He may be hunted by his enemies and needs to behave himself and seek official protection. Otherwise, how kind would a C-level cursed talent be to stay in a third-level prison that is so poor that it can't even afford lights?"

Xia Zuo: “…”

It makes perfect sense, and is totally irrefutable.

It is impossible for a person to be kind. Those who possess cursed talents are more or less mentally abnormal. It is good enough if they do not harm the society.

Xizel opened the map and glanced at it: "We have to move faster. Judging from the location of the Execution Office, the entrances to each district will be blocked in five hours at most."

They don't have the talent to change faces, and if they lose the initiative, things will be very troublesome.

The officials in the White Elephant District did not want to make a big deal out of the matter, and would also race against time. After all, in their opinion, they had just killed a C-level talent holder and were now easy to deal with.

It is naturally beneficial to him that they don't know Xia Zuo's true strength. If it doesn't work, he can also catch them off guard.

But it would be extremely stupid to expose yourself before the very end, not to mention that there are unknown enemies on the main line lurking around, so it is best to keep a low profile if possible.

So, next...

The black-haired boy put away the map and slightly raised the corners of his lips. His misty blue eyes looked cold and heavy in the darkness, and were completely covered by the shadow under the hood.

——It depends on who is more skilled, him or the authorities.
