Chapter 919: Chapter 738: The Dangerous Organization Behind Second Prison—What Are You Looking At_2

Because Destiny had rarely been active in the Lower City area before, and had been dormant for decades until recently reappearing to cause a major incident in the Upper City.

Furthermore, the Upper City Council has always strictly blocked information about Destiny, and Destiny himself has a benevolent style of "reunite families," leading many people to have vaguely heard of Destiny’s madness and terror, but they know very little about what mysterious techniques and abilities he actually possesses.

Especially since the Deceitful Martial Six Techniques or some secret techniques like the Sight-Based Perception are ones that Destiny researched and developed during his dormant period.

Outsiders know even less about this.

Moreover, he has always been stationed inside the Hidden Sect in Zone 9, so it’s quite normal not to know these things.

But his intuition told him that the enemies he encountered today must be involved with some dangerous secret or organization.

If he follows up with the characteristics he has grasped as clues for further investigation, he might uncover something astonishing.

He forcefully shook his head, temporarily suppressing the chaotic thoughts; now is not the time to delve deeper, escape is the top priority.

He carefully recognized the direction, made a big circle, and silently sneaked back into the abandoned gas station.

He did not immediately approach, but observed at the edge of the grass for a while.

The gas station was quiet, it was unclear if it was dark under the lights, but no enemies had approached here.

"Today isn’t ultimately the worst, haha—"

He chuckled lightly and flipped inside.

Didn’t manage to catch the man from the Mechanical Department, but that’s alright, he still kept a living hostage.

Soon, he jumped out from a rear window again, carrying a man whose limbs had been broken and forcibly wrapped into a ball under his arm.

Then, he left this dangerous patch of grass without looking back, not glancing in the direction of his teammates even once...

......

Fortress watched Dong Xiaodao spin the shield and escape, listening to the dead silence on the communication channel, his face darkened, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Damn it, the captain fled first?!!"

Although the captain had said from the beginning that everyone was allowed to judge the danger level for themselves and then retreat accordingly.

But he never expected that the first one to retreat would be the captain himself.

Moreover, when the latter escaped, he didn’t even make a sound in the communication channel.

Great confidentiality work!!!

Fortress took a deep breath, flung the Ion Giant Shield to his back, tightly fitting with the slot of the heavy exoskeleton.

Then, the high-power vector thruster at his ankles roared to life, spitting out a ghostly blue hot flame.

Massive thrust pushed his mountain-like body, skidding along the ground, where the strong airflow lifted pebbles and grass stems from the ground, burning a scorching trail.

The white human spider Iron Claw in the distance was entirely unaware of this command, while his teammates tacitly refrained from sharing it with him, but he wasn’t really stupid.

While he was happy about Shadow Scorpion’s death, this momentary joy lasted only a few seconds before it was swiftly drowned by ice-cold fear.

Because he saw the figure who toyed with and killed Shadow Scorpion now sprinting straight toward the position of him and Fire Raven at an astonishing speed.

Iron Claw swallowed, turned around without hesitation, and fled; he didn’t want to avenge Shadow Scorpion, nor join Shadow Scorpion.

Fire Raven, hovering about four meters off the ground, relying on the wings of his exoskeleton to maintain his levitating posture, was even more panicked than Iron Claw.

The height provided a wider view, so Fire Raven saw things more clearly than Iron Claw.

Feng Mu seemed to have a slight deviation angle in his trajectory toward him and Iron Claw, and that angle was clearly leaning a bit more toward him.

Is Feng Mu coming after me?!!!

Fire Raven watched the black line flying toward him through the grass, feeling solemn in his heart:

"Not attacking the nearby Fortress, nor going for the easier-to-intercept Iron Claw, but passing by both to come directly for me from the furthest point... why is that?"

Fire Raven frowned under his mask, and the electronic eye kept capturing the details of that figure, feeling even colder inside,

"Could it be because I seem more tempting to him than those two?"

Fire Raven’s brain spun rapidly, truly puzzled why Feng Mu had prioritized him; it can’t be simply because he can fly, right?

What Fire Raven didn’t know was that a similar question had just arisen further away in the grass, where someone, already unsure of their fate, was equally perplexed.

In a certain sense, Fire Raven guessed right.

The reason Feng Mu prioritized him was indeed because—he could fly!

It wasn’t that Feng Mu thought he was any more tempting than the other White Masks; rather, Feng Mu wanted to take them all down.

Thus, the order of picking targets had its significance.

The logic is simple: if he kills the one who can fly first, the remaining White Masks would all be running on the ground; even if he lets them run a little, how far can they escape?

Fire Raven glanced down at Fortress and Iron Claw, now fleeing in panic, and made a decision in his heart.

He didn’t try to confront Feng Mu directly and didn’t team up with his comrades.

The wings of the exoskeleton behind him emitted an even more intense energy hum, the wingspan expanding to its limit, then suddenly flapping downward.

Powerful lift carried him upwards, his figure began to ascend vertically, stable and swift.

meters!

This height has already surpassed most people’s high jump limits.

meters!

He felt less anxious.

meters!

A sense of security started to gradually return.

meters!

He was still ascending, without any pause.

Until nearly fifty meters above the ground, Fire Raven finally slowed to a stop, stably hovering in the air.

Below, the black figure had already reached the spot directly beneath his original float position, stopped in its tracks, and was now looking up.

The distance rendered the figure’s face indistinct; at this height, the silhouette on the ground had shrunk to toy-like proportions, becoming rather insignificant.

The superior and secure feeling from looking down on others rose in his heart, and underneath the mask, the corners of Fire Raven’s lips tugged into a relaxed, cold smile.

"Indeed, you came for me, but you’re a step too late; what can you do to me?"

Fire Raven mused inwardly,

"I can fly, and that’s my greatest advantage; at this altitude, even if you can leap twenty meters like that human cannonball earlier, you still can’t reach me."

This is a distance even Li Bashan couldn’t reach jumping, and it must be admitted Fire Raven was exceptionally cautious.

This overly cautious move now gave him an incredible sense of security.

Fire Raven didn’t rush to flee far away; he felt he had settled into an invincible position. His curiosity overwhelmed the urge to immediately escape.

He wanted to hear if Feng Mu had anything to say, and while observing further, maybe gather some valuable information.

Thus, he adjusted his posture, looked down at the ground intently.

The electronic eye adjusted the focus, pupils continuously rotated and magnified, pulling the image of the silhouette below closer, then closer, finally seeing every subtle change in Feng Mu’s expression clearly.

Then, he witnessed a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life (though that time was limited).

He saw that Feng Mu’s face bore none of the anger from the failed pursuit nor the violence following a killing, only a secretive and joyful smile.

"What are you smiling at?"

Fire Raven’s heart tightened, immediately observing more carefully.

Next, in Fire Raven’s unblinking field of vision, he saw Feng Mu slowly raise his hand and gently remove the glasses from his nose with two fingers.

As the glasses left his face, Fire Raven’s electronic eye automatically focused and magnified, unobstructed in viewing the eyes that had been hidden behind lenses.

This is the advantage of electronic eyes; even at fifty meters’ distance, he could see clearly!

In a sense, Fire Raven staying behind did indeed gather invaluable information...
