"The main city cleanup team," Lian Chuan looked at the taller traveler on the left through the scope, "You have been locked, any movement is a reason for me to shoot."

Neither traveler moved.

"There is no ability to use it at the scene," Li Liang's voice came from the intercom, "but the scanning shows that there are traces of gravity in the building next door. Most travelers have it. I'm not sure if it's them."

"Received," Lian Chuan said, "it has been locked."

The process of normal processing of travelers is very simple, destroy or recycle after confirmation.

Most of the travelers intercepted by them end up being destroyed. Even if they have special abilities, they can choose to destroy or not recover without asking for instructions.

After all, the main city has suffered too much because of the abilities of the travelers, especially the cleanup team that always confronts them head-on.

But for the two in front of him, Lian Chuan didn't do anything immediately.

He had already discovered it when he was two streets away. One of the two travelers was the one who was hiding behind the wall before, and he was still carrying the activated main city weapon.

And now the scan results are displayed on the goggles.

"Does the traveler have the main city weapon?" Lu Qian's voice was surprised, "It's still activated?"

"Second-generation weapons," Li Liang said, "no one uses them now, but they still require the user's biological information to activate them. Recycle?"

"Recycle." Lian Chuan said.

Ning Gu glanced at Hammer, and the expression on Hammer's face was quite desperate.

Unlike Ning Gu, Hammer has been to the main city many times, and has a much deeper understanding of the main city than Ning Gu, especially the hyena.

For the regular visitors of the main city who are still alive, Lian Chuan is the hyena of hyenas, the dog of dogs, and almost no one can escape when they encounter it.

"What should I do?" Ning Gu asked in a low voice.

Hammer didn't speak.

The black car descended, Lian Chuan jumped out of the car, the weapon in his hand was steady, Ning Gu could see a small light spot on his chest, and he didn't even move much.

"You," Lian Chuan said again, "throw the bag over."

"Why?" Ning Gu looked at him.

Lian Chuan didn't speak, but suddenly lowered the muzzle of the gun, and Ning Gu suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in his right thigh.

This kind of pain is something he has never experienced in the twenty years of fighting in ghost towns. It spreads from the bones to the outside and spreads along the nerves to the whole body in an instant.

And it came too suddenly.

Ning Gu couldn't help shouting: "Ah—"

He reached out and rubbed his legs frantically.

He can still stand and move.

Lian Chuan raised his head slightly, this traveler surprised him.

This blow is not fatal, but the pain it brings is unbearable for ordinary people, and it can basically make people incapacitated. Usually, only one shot is needed to capture the target alive.

"Name." Lian Chuan looked at him.

"Why did I tell you?" The man grinned in pain, but he had the style of a traveler, even if he died, he would curse until he lost his voice, "Can you count? Count yourself and count yourself! "

Fine.

"Bao." He pressed the button again on the man's left leg.

"Ah—" The man was finally unable to stand this time, and knelt down on the ground with one leg.

The person next to him wanted to help him, but he hesitated when he saw the weapon in Lian Chuan's hand, but he was a traveler after all. After hesitating, he reached out quickly, grabbed his arm, and looked up at Lian Chuan: "What are you going to do? what!"

Lian Chuan ignored him, just staring at the man who had already knelt on the ground.

is it you

The weapon is on you, but the feeling doesn't come.

The fear of being spied on.

The man put his hands on the ground and panted a few times: "My name is Ning Gu."

Ninggu.

Lian Chuan wrote down the name.

This name is not on any record of the traveler.

However, Ning Gu was so stubborn just now, why did he let the number of people count, and now he suddenly announced his name so cooperatively... Lian Chuan moved his gaze away from the scope, and slowly swept across him.

"Find what you want yourself! Don't touch my other things!" Ning Gu raised his hand and threw over the small leather bag hanging on his lap.

There is no abnormality in the posture of taking and throwing the bag.

The trajectory of the bag thrown out is also normal, without intentionally blocking the line of sight.

But it is not normal to take the soft food first and then throw the bag.

Lian Chuan quickly shifted his gaze to Ning Gu's hand, and saw his raised fingers, as well as the subtle light shining through the cracks between his fingers.

At the same time, the traveler next to him has already bent down and put his hand on the ground.

The cooperation with Nail has never been so tacit, and Ning Gu was very emotional when he threw out the bag.

Lian Chuan didn't say what he was looking for, but the only strange thing about him now was the small metal cube that suddenly started to glow.

When rubbing his legs, he had already got the small square in his hand.

throw bag.

Hammer ability activates.

He presses that button.

No matter what the small cube was, he and the hammer probably had no chance of going back, so even if they were smashed into pieces, they had to be backed up.

Travelers may be afraid of pain, but they absolutely don't care about death at critical moments.

There are quite a lot of legends about Lianchuan. Although everyone disagrees, the image of Lianchuan in the legends has always been very unified, cold, cruel, and has top-notch combat effectiveness.

It's just that there are too few people who survived under his hands, so there is another point that no one has ever mentioned.

He can be so fast.

Before Ning Gu pressed his finger firmly on the button, Lian Chuan was already in front of him, and he didn't even see how this person got here.

Does that mean that the main city is full of ordinary people? Is this speed achieved by exoskeleton

The little square was knocked out of his hand by a knee.

It fell into Lianchuan's hands.

Then he was kicked away by Lian Chuan.

The hammer was swept into the nearby sewer by the caracal.

All of this begins when the bag takes off.

When the bag fell to the ground, Ning Gu had already confirmed that he had no way to back up before he died, and he couldn't add a description to Lian Chuan in the legend.

Can not go back.

Nails will surely cry.

The head of the group will also cry, usually looks scary, but Ning Gu has seen him cry.

Crazy Uncle's prophecy has come true...

No wonder the leader and Li Xiang refused to let him come to the main city.

If I had known this earlier, he would have given that feather to the King of Earth that day, and asked him to take care of some nails in the future...

Still didn't see anything.

do not know anything.

What's it like outside? What's out there? Where did all the people who disappeared go

Where do I come from

Why do I have no parents

I don't know anything yet.

In the end I don't know anything...

Lian Chuan's scope re-focused on the fallen traveler.

He could feel that this person didn't have any special abilities. No one would know what supported him to bear the pain caused by two shots.

It's like no one will ever know why Lian Chuan was able to grow up alive from the hellish training.

Lian Chuan's fingertips touched the trigger.

Ning Gu raised his head suddenly, looked through the scope, and met his gaze directly.

"No." Ning Gu said.

Following this simple word came a thick fog of fear.

The unbelievable feeling reappeared, occupying Lian Chuan's entire body, Ning Gu's eyes didn't stop, like a sword piercing through the goggles, it pierced straight into his mind.

This is the man!

Lian Chuan's judgment that 009 is just a medium is not wrong.

But he ignores if the person might not need any medium.

The medium may even have limited his abilities.

Limiting his ability to pry beyond.

And this kind of ability, Lian Chuan felt vaguely familiar.

There are travelers who can spy on minds and mess up time.

Lian Chuan didn't know if it was his illusion or he was experiencing it.

I don't know if time has frozen, or it has become extremely slow, or it is flying by.

I don't know if the person in front of me is no longer in the same space as them at this moment.

Or another force, like the gravitational force magnified thousands of times, passing by in an imperceptible short time.

This feeling has never been felt before, and it is indescribable.

The last voice in Lian Chuan's ears was Ning Gu's.

"Go!" he said.

There was no pause, no speeding up or slowing down, all movements were the same as usual, exactly.

But the boss fell to the ground and stood up after holding his paws twice.

Lian Chuan still failed to press the trigger on his fingertips.

Ning Gu and another traveler had disappeared from their field of vision.

"Lian Chuan?" Li Liang's voice came from the intercom.

"Got it." Lian Chuan replied, looking at the boss.

The boss let out a breath through his nose, indicating that he was fine.

"What happened?" Lu Qian's car appeared behind the roof next to it and stopped beside Lian Chuan.

Lian Chuan didn't speak.

He didn't know what to say at this time.

He didn't know what happened either.

All he knew was that Ning Gu was a huge potential danger to him.

"It's flashing again." Li Liang also arrived, jumped out of the car, frowned, walked up to Lian Chuan nervously, and lowered his voice while checking the instrument records on his arm, "Did the equipment just malfunction? ? The weapons are all gone.”

"Yes." Lian Chuan also answered in a low voice.

"Is it related to the ability of the traveler?" Li Liang was a little surprised.

"I don't know." Lian Chuan glanced in the direction of Lost Valley.

The only few equipment failures in the past occurred only in Blink. Although he didn't know the reason this time, even he didn't notice the equipment failure just now, but at least it meant that the system didn't record the strange ability of the traveler.

Is it Ning Gu? Or is there another one too

"Each group reports the situation." Lei Yu's voice sounded through the intercom.

"Six groups of targets fled into the Lost Valley," Lian Chuan said, "the second-generation weapons in the main city were seized."

"What ability?" Lei Yu asked.

"Sudden gravity," Li Liang replied, "There was no sign of an explosion before."

"Understood," Lei Yu said, "Close the team."

"Retract the team?" Lu Qian was surprised, pointing in the direction of Lost Valley, "Stop chasing?"

Lian Chuan looked at him and said nothing.

"I know, you told me to run away when I saw a traveler," Lu Qian said, "What about you?"

"Run too." Lian Chuan said.

Lu Qian was stunned, then turned to look at Li Liang.

"They're probably about to enter the Valley of Lost Path," Li Liang said.

"So what?" Lu Qian asked again.

Li Liang sighed, he couldn't answer this tacit question.

"What just happened?" Hammer asked while running.

"I don't know." Ning Gu's leg was still hurting, so painful that he could hardly stand up, but now he not only dared not stop to rest, but also had to grit his teeth and run wildly.

Other people's trips to the main city are full of curiosity and excitement, but so far his trip to the main city has been inexplicable, and he almost died.

"Did you just tell me to run?" Hammer continued to ask.

"It seems to be," Ning Gu thought for a long time but couldn't understand what happened just now, "Anyway, I was running when I recovered."

"Don't run away." Hammer slowed down.

"Huh?" Ning Gu ignored it and continued to run wildly.

"Don't run away!" Hammer yelled a little anxiously, "Stop! There's a Valley of Lost Way ahead!"

Ning Gu stopped: "Aren't we going?"

"I'm going," the hammer flicked back and forth in his pocket, finally took out half of the paint, and tapped his wrist a few times, "Is there anything you need to remember when you go in? For example, what do you need to change?" Get some supplies or something."

"No," Ning Gu looked at him, "I'll go in and have a look."

"Make a mark, too, so you can remember what it means when you see it, and then just follow me." Hammer put the paint in his hand, looked around, with a very serious expression, "be sure to follow me closely, Lost Valley is a... weird place, let's go."

"Speak clearly." Ning Gu stood still.

"It's just..." Hammer said, "Actually, some of those who didn't go back were not destroyed by city guards and hyenas, but they went in and never came out again. For some reason, they refused to leave like they were lost in their minds. , I forgot what I was here for... So just in case I need to mark it on my hand, I can remind myself when I see it."

"It's so scary why everyone still wants to go?" Ning Gu frowned.

"It's not 100% crazy. As long as there is a mark, you can usually wake up," Hammer said. "Besides, it's safe there. City guards and hyenas will never go in."

"Oh... is it really that good inside?" Ning Gu lowered his head and tapped three dots on his wrist. He can't write, so this means painting. Maybe he can find a real painting in this underground market.

"Great! Don't scare me!" Hammer suddenly looked up at him, "We just escaped from Lian Chuan's hands, and we have to go back to brag! If you can't come out after going in, I don't need it." I’m going back, the head of the group will definitely hang me to the tongue bay to dry!”

Ning Gu laughed and raised his hand: "Let's go!"

"Haven't seen him recently?" A man sat in the shadows in the corner of the room, the smoke between his fingers slowly dispersed in the air.

"No, isn't it normal for the child to refuse to go home now that he's grown up?" Chunsan leaned against the table, "It's not like we were the ones who raised him from childhood."

"Has Captain Lei not noticed anything unusual?" the man asked.

"No." Chunsan sighed.

"Is there anything unusual about Captain Lei?" The man flicked the cigarette ash.

Chunsan didn't answer right away, staring at the cigarette butt in the man's hand, and said after a while: "Don't ask me such a question again, Lei Yu and I are not a systematically matched marriage."

"Even if the weapons are all extinguished, it is only a moment, and the traveler escapes like that, which is too rare." The man said.

"He's not the only team member at the scene." Chunsan reminded.

"Yes, plus there are four cats, they all said it was just a sudden gravity," the man said, "the only thing detected by the system is indeed, but... I can't believe that anyone can escape from Lianchuan in that state." The subordinates escape, even if Lian Chuan has no equipment!"

"Even if Li Liang has been with him for a long time and will cooperate with him, Lu Qian is one of your people, so help him?" Chun San smiled, "Then you should reflect on yourself."

"Do you know what the activated weapon means?" The man paused, "The person who ran away... If we can't figure out the reason, we can't bear the consequences."

"I can only do my best. As you know, people's hearts are the most unpredictable," Chunsan said. "You have the most advanced technology and equipment in the world. After so many years of hard work, you can only know what one person sees. Do you know what a person is thinking? How can we understand people's hearts?"

"If you are really good for Lian Chuan, I really don't want him to disappear," the man stubbed out his cigarette, stood up, his head almost touched the ceiling, and the voice came from above, "It's best to try to understand, you have to know, and then A top-level weapon is just a weapon, and under certain necessary circumstances, he can be nothing in our eyes.”
