"Master Gao Tong, shall we not delay your business and leave first?"
Celis raised her eyebrows. She didn't want to stay with this old fox any longer.
"Okay, okay, have fun."
Qualcomm leaned slightly in his wheelchair, his face looking kind.
After Celis and Luo Xue bowed to him, they continued to move forward under the leadership of Liu Yun.
Looking at their receding backs, Gao Tong's expression gradually became gloomy, and his kind look disappeared completely.
"Already caught?" he said slowly.
"We are still chasing him. His strength should not be underestimated." The subordinate whispered, "He is at least a level 6 ability user... Lord Luo Yong is on his way there now. The second floor has been completely sealed off. He can't escape."
"Two years ago... you said the same thing." Gao Tong said calmly.
"I know I was wrong."
The men immediately bowed their heads.
"What's past is past. Catch the person as soon as possible."
Gao Tong waved his hand, leaned back in his chair, frowned slightly and said,
"You said that he had been hiding on the second floor for two years... I never thought that he would disguise himself as a technician of the tower, but why did he reveal himself at this time?"
"I don't know, but... I have a guess." The subordinate said, "His department is responsible for the maintenance and activation of the docking device. The original plan should be to gain a chance to escape by doing something during the docking.
"But he exposed himself in public ahead of time, when the federal commissioner arrived... Perhaps he mistakenly thought that the docking procedure was to be launched with the ground, so he did this?"
After hearing these words, Gao Tong's face remained gloomy and he said nothing.
After a moment he shook his head and said,
"No, that's unlikely. Night Owl is so cautious, how could he make such a mistake? I'm afraid... he has other plans."
Gao Tong raised his head again, looked in the direction where Luo Xue and Celis left, and said slowly,
"The Federal Commissioner... That's right. There aren't many opportunities to come into contact with the Federal Commissioner. He must be telling them what he knows. He's exposing himself on purpose!"
Thinking of this, Qualcomm's heart sank even more.
"Has Luo Yong arrived?" Gao Tong asked softly, his hoarse voice using an extremely calm tone.
"Not yet... but soon, we'll be there soon!" The subordinate said hurriedly, "The city defense department has already started to reduce the scope, and the arrest operation can begin immediately when Lord Luo Yong arrives!"
"Not enough, let Chen Ting go as well." Gao Tong's fingers unconsciously clicked the leather on the wheelchair armrest, "The mission objective has changed, kill Night Owl directly."
"Kill, kill Lord Night Owl?"
The men's faces showed some panic.
"Well, I originally wanted to ask more questions before considering eliminating the problem forever, but since he is so ignorant, forget it." Gao Tong said lightly, and then he turned around and pushed the wheelchair towards the gravity elevator. "I'm going to rest for a while. I want to see his body when I wake up."
"As you command, Lord Gao Tong."
The subordinates all bowed and watched Gao Tong walk into the gravity elevator.
The mayor was going back to the ninth floor of the tower, and no one dared to follow him.
After the door of the gravity elevator slowly closed, several of his men began to chatter.
"What on earth did Lord Night Owl do wrong? We previously hunted him down and blocked him off, and now we want to kill him?"
"You're new here? Haven't you heard the rumors? It's said that he knows some secrets that he shouldn't know... Things that even Master Luo Yong and Master Chen Ting, who are one level higher than him, don't dare to know!"
"Hey, it's better not to know too much about these big shots, for fear that one day you might lose your head..."
"Keep your voice down so no one can overhear us. This is the seventh floor. Some things... can only be said after we reach the next three floors."
The lower three floors are occupied by the tower's maintenance personnel, where supervision is lax and the bigwigs rarely turn their attention to this place, otherwise how could Night Owl have escaped multiple large-scale raids here.
But gossip aside, the things arranged by the mayor must be carried out immediately.
Soon, the order to kill the Night Owl was passed to Luo Yong and Chen Ting.
They were colleagues with Night Owl before, and were all members of the High Tower Special Operations Team. When they received the order to kill their old friend, they felt mixed emotions.
But they also knew very well that there was no way this old friend would be alive after accidentally finding out something.
"After all, it's about the boss's deceased brother, Dr. Lingxi... Well, why bother?"
... ...
On the second floor of the suspended tower, Night Owl was escaping without stopping.
Unlike the orderly upper three floors, the lower three floors were relatively chaotic, which gave Night Owl a chance to maneuver.
But obviously, such opportunities are few and far between.
Although the second floor is filled with various precious instruments and devices, once damaged it will endanger the entire suspended tower, so it is impossible to use some high-destructive weapons.
But Qualcomm did not care about the cost of capturing the Night Owl. The City Defense Department almost used human lives as a fortress to forcibly confine the Night Owl to an area.
In this small area, a game of cat and mouse is played.
The cats are his two old friends, and he is the mouse who fights hard despite being trapped.
"Night Owl, stop it." Luo Yong sighed, "Since you call me Boss... I will make sure you die without any pain."
"No... Boss, you have no idea what Qualcomm is doing." Night Owl took a deep breath and said, "As long as we are in this suspended tower, we will not be safe.
"Don't worry, Boss. I won't tell you, because anyone who knows... will die. If everyone knows, the 132nd Hanging Tower will no longer exist. Gao Tong... is a complete lunatic!"
Luo Yong's heart trembled when he heard this, but Chen Ting next to him was not disturbed.
She moved quickly and headed straight for Night Owl with a fierce attack, intending to kill him.
The battle on the second floor had a great impact on the entire suspended tower, and almost half of the tower's equipment came to a standstill.
... ...
"Is there anything else you need to know?" Liu Yun said lightly.
“Nothing.” Celis shook her head.
At this time, Luo Xue poked her head out, blinked her eyes and asked,
"Sister Liu, what was the mayor busy with just now?"
Although Luo Xue now looks like a ghost, she is still very cute.
Liu Yun's legs almost went weak after hearing her shout.
But she was a professional, so she quickly recovered and continued to reply in a cold tone,
"I'm sorry, but it's not my place to know what the mayor is doing - I can only speak freely about what I should know."
"Oh." Luo Xue nodded and asked casually, "Then, Sister Liu, do you know Night Owl?"
Hearing this, Liu Yun's pupils shrank slightly, and soon he lowered his head slightly and said,
"You know, a federal wanted criminal, and the mastermind of an arson case here. The federation takes him very seriously?"
Liu Yun certainly knew about the capture of the Night Owl. Since the mayor did not inform them, Liu Yun certainly did not dare to reveal it casually.
"Not in that respect, but I am personally very interested in him." Luo Xue said, staring at Liu Yun intently, "Just now, the mayor went to deal with something related to Night Owl, right?"
Luo Xue was still confident in her ability to read people's expressions. After she mentioned Night Owl, Liu Yun's expression at that moment was almost as if to say "How do you know?"
It seems that Liu Yun was shocked that Luo Xue knew about this.
Although her look of surprise only lasted for a moment, it was enough for Luo Xue to see it.
"No, that's not it." Liu Yun shook his head and said calmly, "Night Owl has been wanted by the federal government for a long time. How could the mayor possibly deal with his affairs?"
"If you put it that way, then it should be true." Luo Xue snapped her fingers, "Sister Liu, just now you said you knew nothing, but now you know it's not true?"
"... ..."
Liu Yun said nothing. She seemed calm on the outside, but in fact she had already let the cat out of the bag.
"Miss Guijiao, what are we going to do now?"
Celis rubbed her hands together excitedly; she could already smell something big was about to happen.
It turned out that this trip was the right one. It can't be that we are just carrying out a formality mission, right
"Let's get rid of these troublesome eyes and ears first."
Luo Xue glanced at Celis and sighed softly.
I always feel like these girls are a bit too excited...
"Oh, no problem."
Celis responded, her green eyes turned blank, invisible mental waves swept out, and a strong sense of sleepiness attacked everyone around her.
"Hypnotic ability?"
Luo Xue also felt sleepy, but she was able to hold on.
"It's just a part of the application." Celis said, but she didn't clearly say what her ability was, being quite cautious.
Liu Yun's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.
"What do you want to do?"
She is also a high-level ability user, and this simple and crude hypnosis does not have a very good effect on her.
"Do something that is inconvenient for others to see." Luo Xue appeared behind Liu Yun in an instant, "Sister Liu, please take a rest for a while, we will be back soon - sorry!"
"you-"
Liu Yun struggled against sleepiness and tried his best to use his special powers to attack Luo Xue behind him.
However, Luo Xue was faster.
"Stun spell!"
She clenched her fist and punched Liu Yun on the head.
Liu Yun's consciousness became a little dazed, and he could no longer resist the erosion of sleepiness, and fell to the ground with a thud.
Luo Xue shook her hands. Although she could not use her magical powers because of "Hiding Hua", her physical strength was still very strong.
At least it’s no problem to knock someone out.
"You call this vertigo?"
Celis twitched her lips. She thought it was some kind of superpower.
result...
Well, Miss Guijiao is indeed a warrior, and this is her special ability.
"Just tell me if it works or not." Luo Xue rolled her eyes at Celis, then picked up the unconscious Liu Yun and said, "Let's find a safe place for these hypnotized people."
"There are usually confessionals on the seventh floor of a tower. They are small, absolutely sealed rooms," Celis said. "As long as they are locked, they are completely sealed off from the outside world. They should be safe enough. Hey, how about I help you move a few?"
"No need."
Luo Xue packed up the remaining people and carried them with her other hand.
These are the hidden agents lurking nearby, and are also within the range of Celis' hypnosis.
The petite girl held someone in one hand and lifted seven or eight people tied together with the other hand. The scene looked really shocking.
"Let's go." Luo Xue narrowed her eyes, "I want to see... Night Owl, what's going on?"
Chapter 139 Ling Ling's Little Thoughts
The ninth floor of the suspended tower.
Lingling was sitting in the room with several bottles of potions in front of her. These were the results of her work over the past period of time.
Or rather, her father's work.
—Awakening potion.
The miraculous creation that enables ordinary people to control superpowers is the most arrogant attempt made by mankind in the natural disaster civilization so far. It has reached the brink of success and is only one step away.
But, I don't know why...
Whenever Ling Ling looked at these potions, some residual memories would emerge from the depths of her mind, and sadness and helplessness filled her heart.
