Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Street Fighting and Choice

The speed of the shadow dog far exceeds Chen Mo's expectation, and it almost jumps to the crowd in the blink of an eye! They run silently, leaving only faint, rapidly dissipating black marks on the ground under their paws, emitting a biting cold.

There is no room for retreat in Chen Mo, with narrow alleys and high walls on both sides. He kicked his left foot hard (there was a stabbing pain from his injured ankle), and his body flashed to the right. At the same time, the light knife in his hand instantly popped up and cut off the neck of the vicious dog that came to the left!

"before-!"

The collision between the light blade and the shadow makes a sound like a hot knife cutting oil. The beheaded shadow dog let out a piercing silent roar (logical noise), and half of his head was cut off by a light blade and turned into black smoke, but the rest of his body still came with inertia and crashed into the wall where Chen Mo stood just now, leaving a charred trace and completely dissipating.

Kill one with one blow, but the vicious dog on the right has already jumped! The maw (composed of deeper shadows) bites down Chen Mo's throat! Chen Mo didn't have time to return the knife, so he had to block it with his left arm, and at the same time, his body retreated backwards again!

"poof!"

Shadow teeth bite through the clothes on Chen Mo's arm, deeply embedded in the flesh! There was no bleeding, but an extreme cold and numbness spread along the arm instantly, as if the whole arm was going to be frozen and unconscious! What's more frightening is that he feels his shadow (under the faint road light at the corner of the lane) seems to be bitten by the vicious dog, and there is a terrible throb that will be torn away!

It is a variant of the power of "shadow bite"! It can not only attack the entity, but also directly affect the shadow of the target!

Chen Mo stuffy hum 1, the action of the right hand is not slow! The smooth blade turns, from top to bottom, and slams into the back of the shadow dog biting his left arm!

"Ow-!" The vicious dog gave a more piercing cry, and the body was split by the light blade from the middle, turning into two rolling black smoke, which quickly dissipated. The sharp teeth biting Chen Mo's arm also disappeared, but the feeling of cold numbness and torn shadow remained for a long time, and his left arm could not be lifted for a while.

Just two or three breaths, to solve the two shadow dogs, but Chen Mo also paid the price of temporarily losing the combat effectiveness of his left arm, and the energy of the light Bi was consumed again, and the light blade was obviously dim.

"Sure enough, I have some skills. No wonder I can run away from the experimental field." The two masked men did not panic because the vicious dog was eliminated, but approached slowly with a cat-and-mouse banter. The strange weapons in their hands, the blue light at the top is more and more dazzling.

"But that's it." One of them raised his weapon and pointed it at Chen Mo. "Try this-'logic jamming pulse'!"

"Hum-! ! !"

An invisible pulse wave, but with a strong logical disorder attribute, broke out from the top of the weapon and instantly enveloped Chen Mo's position!

Chen Mo's left ear stud, at the moment when the pulse touched, burst into unimaginable pain and confusion like ice water burning red iron! It seems that all the "logic" running in his brain (including thinking, perception and even body control) has been forcibly disrupted and muddied! The world in front of us is twisted and rotated instantly, and the fragile balance between the earrings and the ancient mirror fragments is also violently shaken and almost collapsed!

"Uh-huh-!" Chen Mo hugged his head, gave a painful roar, stumbled back uncontrollably, and crashed into the wall, almost collapsing. Light Bi also fell to the ground to sell, and the light was completely extinguished.

This weapon ... is specifically aimed at contractors or targets relying on the power of "concept"! It can disturb the connection between the relic and the host and interfere with its logical operation! Zhou Wenyuan used this level of equipment to catch him!

"Get him! To live! " Another masked man shouted, and the two quickly stepped forward, with special alloy handcuffs and syringes (with some inhibitory drugs inside).

Chen Mo's consciousness was blurred, his headache was splitting, his left arm was numb, and he almost lost his ability to resist. On the verge of being captured ...

At this critical moment!

A fast-moving figure, like a ghost, jumped off the roof of a low bungalow next to it. People were in the air, and a cold light had already cut through the night, taking the throats of the two masked men!

Too fast! Two people only had time to make the most basic block reaction!

"Dangdang!" Two crisp sounds of gold and iron! The strange weapon in the hands of the masked man was accurately picked out by that cold light! The cold light continued unabated, and each of them opened a mouth that was not deep but shocking enough!

The two men stumbled back with a stuffy hum and looked at people in horror.

That's a middle-aged man in an ordinary dark jacket with a cold face and sharp eyes like an eagle-coach Wu!

In his hand, he holds a military dagger that looks ordinary, but just showed amazing speed and accuracy, and the tip of the knife is still dripping with blood. He didn't look at the two injured enemies. His eyes swept Chen Mo who collapsed on the wall, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Can you still move?" Coach Wu's voice is low and short, and he uses sign language.

Chen Mo choked back the thread in his mind and the sharp pain in his body, nodded hard and struggled to get up.

The two masked men looked at each other and knew that the mission had failed. Without hesitation, they took out two smoke bombs from their arms and smashed them on the ground!

"bang! Hey! "

Thick pungent smoke instantly filled the whole alley, covering the line of sight. The smoke is also mixed with weak electronic noise that interferes with perception.

Coach Wu didn't pursue, he knew that the other side probably had a successful opponent, and Chen Mo's condition was extremely poor. He quickly bent down, picked up Chen Mo's fallen light dagger, and then lifted Chen Mo, who could hardly stand, and whispered, "Go!"

He carried Chen Mo and rushed out of the smoky alley like a cheetah. After several turns, he disappeared into the depths of the complicated streets.

The two masked men escaped from the smoke from the other direction, looking at the empty alley and the traces of blood and fighting on the ground, and their faces were extremely ugly.

"Inform the boss that the target has been rescued, and the person who saved him ... is very skilled, like a professional." A person according to the chest wound, grind.

"Do you want to chase?"

"chase? Where to chase? This terrain is too complicated, and the other side is obviously prepared. Withdraw first, and then report it! "

The two quickly cleaned up the traces of the scene (mainly recovered the wreckage of the weapon that was picked up) and disappeared into the night like a shadow.

On the other side, coach Wu, carrying Chen Mo, didn't go back to the safe house in Willow Lane, but took a long detour and finally came to an abandoned freight train station on the edge of the city. It is full of rusty train cars and abandoned containers, overgrown with weeds and inaccessible.

Coach Wu took the silence into a relatively complete abandoned carriage with its interior simply cleaned. This is obviously another more hidden stronghold, which contains some simple survival materials and medical supplies.

He put the silence on a simple bed covered with a blanket and examined his injury. The shadow bite of the left arm needs to be treated (coach Wu applied a special black ointment with herbal smell, and the burning sensation dispelled some cold numbness), and the old ankle injury also recurred.

The most troublesome thing is Chen Mo's mental state. The influence of the logical interference pulse continues. The sharp pain of the ear nail and the shock of the balance with the fragments of the ancient mirror make him pale, cold and sweaty, and his consciousness is sometimes awake and sometimes blurred.

Coach Wu took out a small metal box and opened it. There were several silver needles engraved with complex runes. He skillfully stuck these needles on several acupoints on Chen Mo's head (the movements were precise, obviously not the first time).

With the penetration of the silver needle, a cool and calm feeling slowly flowed into Chen Mo's chaotic consciousness, and the sharp pain of the ear nail and the noise in my mind were smoothed away by an invisible hand, gradually weakening. The balance with the ancient mirror fragments has also been stabilized again.

Chen Mo breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling pulled back from the edge of hell. He looked at coach Wu, his eyes full of gratitude and doubt.

Coach Wu pulled out the silver needle, disinfected it, put it away, sat on a small stool, looked at Chen Mo and said in sign language, "Su Yat Sen informed me. She said you got the key evidence, but you also got into big trouble. Those people just now are' scavengers' housed in the' The Other Side Gallery', specializing in handling troubles and arresting people. They are well-equipped and targeted at contractors. "

"Thank you, Coach Wu ... for saving his life." Chen Mo struggled to express himself in sign language.

Coach Wu waved: "Don't thank me. I help you, one is for Sue's sake, and the other is ... "He paused and looked at Chen Mo sharply." I don't like those chop suey who use crooked ways and experiment with the living. I don't like the practices of some people in the association. "

He asked bluntly, "What about the evidence? What you see is really like what Su Shantou said? "

Chen Mo nodded, from the close-fitting pocket, took out the encrypted USB flash drive and handed it to coach Wu.

Coach Wu took it and inserted a portable, physically isolated reading device (with a small screen). He quickly browsed the image data inside, and the dim light in the carriage seemed to get colder with the light of "Ghost Eye" Yu Pei in the picture and what he read.

Even with coach Wu's tough mind, looking at the figures struggling in the experimental cabin and the cold and cruel experimental scenes, his face gradually darkened and his eyes flashed a trace of repressed anger.

"Bastard ..." He scolded 1 in a low voice, turned off the equipment, pulled out the USB flash drive and held it tightly in his hand.

"This thing is too important and too dangerous." Coach Wu looked at Chen Mo, "directly to the association, I'm afraid I will be cut off or destroyed by some people immediately. Su Shantou is now closely watched within the association and her movements are limited. "

He pondered for a moment and made a decision: "I will handle this thing myself." I have some ...' old friends' who are not in the association system, but they have a lot of energy and hate evil. They will know how to use this evidence and give Zhou Wenyuan and the people behind him a hard lesson. "

Chen Mo looked at coach Wu's firm eyes and knew that this was his best choice at present. He nodded his head.

"As for you," coach Wu looked at Chen Mo's pale face and the obvious abnormality of his left ear, "your erosion is very serious, and you can't wait any longer. It is too dangerous to stay in the city, and Zhou Wenyuan will not let you go. "

"That ... my sister ..." Chen Mo is most worried about this.

"Su Shantou will find ways to ensure the safety of Chen Yu. She is more resilient than you think." Coach Wu said, "What you need now is treatment and concealment. I have a place where I can take you-'Grey Field'. "

"Grey domain?" Chen Mo first heard this name.

"A gray area where contractors and various' abnormal' stakeholders gather outside the association and the mainstream world." Coach Wu explained, "There are mixed fish and dragons, there are lunatics, criminals and poor people who just want to live. But there are rules, and there are a few really capable old guys in town, which is relatively safe. More importantly, there may be ways to temporarily suppress or alleviate your erosion-at least, you can find people who know what to do. "

He looked at Chen Mo with burning eyes: "But that's not heaven, it's another battlefield. You need to hide your identity, live alone and find what you need. Dare to go? "

Chen Mo hardly hesitated. There is no place for him in the city, and my sister is taken care of by Su Yat-sen (he believes), chasing behind and eroding in the body. He needs strength, time and treatment.

"I'll go." He used sign language to draw these two words firmly.

Coach Wu nodded: "Good. I will arrange the route and meet. You need a new identity, an identity that can be used in the' grey domain'. Take a night off and leave tomorrow. "

He carefully put away the USB flash drive, gave Chen Mo some drugs to suppress erosion and stabilize the spirit (the effect is worse than that of silver needle, but useful), and then left the carriage to arrange related matters.

The carriage, Chen Mo was left alone.

He looked out of the window at the bleak moonlight in the abandoned station, stroked the numbness wound on his arm, and felt the fragile balance between earrings and ancient mirror fragments under the action of drugs.

The story of the city has come to an end temporarily.

The more unknown and dangerous journey of "grey domain" is about to begin.

In order to live and come back, he must become stronger.
