The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 288
Advertisement
Yang Dao parked the bike on the side of the road and fell into thought. Things did not seem to be as simple to him all of a sudden. He fished out his mobile phone and made a call to Atsuji Kurogame. The call connected in an instant and he spoke before the other side could even greet him.
"The hyper humans are retreating without fighting. Is it just I or the matter is complicated?"
The old man on the other side sighed and spoke, "Young Master, what you deduct is correct. These people had a motive when they infiltrated the country. The departments detected only nine Hyper humans, however, the real number was ten."
Yang Dao raised his eyebrow and asked, "Where is the tenth one going to strike?" his tone became somber.
Atsuji Kurogame said, "That is still a mystery for us. The people are trying to track the guy but we have yet to find a trace." a sort of embarrassment was apparent in his voice.
Yang Dao said, "Where did he infiltrate from?"
Atsuji Kurogame replied, "Waterways, southern sector, The Dual Barrier Reef. It is a tourist location, so the troops were lax and the guys slipped away. We do have some suspects but it has not helped us reap any benefits."
Yang Dao took a deep breath and asked, "As a tourist place, the location must have round-the-clock closed-circuit monitoring. Get me the footage pack for the whole day and from every single camera."
Atsuji Kurogame had already gotten the information that the boy has dealt with two hyper humans. So, he was aware of the strength Yang Dao had. He can solve these problems. Atsuji Kurogame gave up his hesitation and said, "You will have all the data within thirty minutes, Young Master."

Yang Dao asked, "How did you discover that there was one more hyper-human?"
"A spy in Crypto nation sent the word back only an hour ago," said Atsuji Kurogame. The old man could guess what Yang Dao wanted to ask next. So, he said, "The source is reliable."
Yang Dao nodded and after a few seconds, the call was disconnected. He made a call to Feng Yun to check whether the scientists have moved. He started his bike and started to chase down the runaways again. Suddenly RALF issued a warning, "Administrator. An identified man is spotted on the premises of Sapphire lake residency."
The whole society where Yang Dao lived had a monitor system. The cameras were so advanced that even if someone is trained, professionally will miss one or two of them after entering the premises. Hearing the news, something suddenly clicked in his mind.
Could it be that the target of the lone wolf was him? He said, "RAFL, call Lisa."
The system immediately connected the call to the intercom at home and after two rings, Lisa picked it up. Her pleasant voice sounded, "Hello?"
Yang Dao said, "Lisa, drop all the work you have at hand. Take Frieda Foster and the leopards with you to the terrace, and board the chopper. Understood? Right now."
Lisa was stunned by the suddenness of this command but she had complete faith and trust in Yang Dao so she only replied with, "I understand, Young Master. I will get it done."
The receiver was placed down and the call disconnected.
...
In sapphire lake residency, Lisa had just disconnected the call and rushed to the study room where Frieda was exploring RALF. She said, "Miss Foster. Young Master has asked us to go board the chopper and leave. The situation is urgent."

Frieda had her focus locked on the series of codes fluctuating in front of her eyes. She was brought back to reality as soon as these words rang in her ears. She did not know what happened and wanted to ask when the two leopards came to stand in front of her. The girl was so excited earlier that she did not notice the beasts earlier.
Now she immediately became pale in fright. Lisa, however, did not give her any time to reason and took her outside the house, holding her hand. The two boarded the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor without any hesitation. The leopards suddenly gazed in the direction of the stairs and they bared their fangs.
They had the instincts of spirit beasts and could sense a threat coming over from the stairs. Lisa followed their gaze and closed the elevator doors. The beasts stood by her side with their bodies slightly lowered. Frieda was still in a state of shock. Her brain was overflowed with numbness when she saw the two beasts.
The elevator stopped on the terrace. Lisa dragged Frieda to the chopper as fast as she can. The chopper already had the rotors moving, and the pilot was waving at them to hurry. The door of the cabin was slid open for them, too. Lisa took the lead and pushed Frieda over to climb while the beasts were gazing at the doors of the staircase. They were ready to attack the source of the threat if need be.
After Lisa got on board, she whistled. The beasts got into the chopper as well. The pilot pressed a button to close the cabin and took off. They were high in the sky when Lisa spotted a figure walking on the terrace, gazing at them. She could sense that this person was not normal. She unlocked her mobile phone and called Yang Dao.
She said, "Young Master, we have left. There is a person on the terrace."
Yang Dao said, "Don't worry about it. Go to the Dao courtyard mansion. I will handle the rest."
Lisa disconnected the call and sighed.
...
Yang Dao, on the other side, was getting closer to the airport. The place was owned by a small-time businessman. At this moment, the Dao Child could sense a small airplane engine roaring on the runway.
He said, "What are you calculating so much for?"

I died and then received an offer to be reincarnated in a Fantasy World.The problem is - I'm not exactly gonna be a ""hero"" of that world, this wasn't really an offer to begin with, and that strange shapeless black entity who gave me that ""offer"" wasn't really trustworthy... or sane. Now I am alone in the world that wants me dead. The world I am supposed to ruin as a part of a game I don't understand. I don't even know who plays that game... but it looks like it's a game in which everyone - from pawns to players - is trying to cheat.**********Mature Content Warning - foul language, gore (in the future), potential sex scenes (in the future).
