Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 162
The chase, which took place in alleys and secret places, continued. The first step in the shadow plan is to divert the attention of those following them from the port area. But there are also risks in doing so. When the other party realizes that he is circling them, it may stimulate the enemy to take some radical actions. However, the shadow has absolute confidence in his own skills. In such alleys and buildings, even if the opponent is a caster with the power beyond common sense like cheese, he is sure to fight.
Turning a corner, the original figure of two people changed into only sparrow. The sparrow seems to have lost his partner. He looks around in a daze, and after a short stay, he begins to walk along the road like a crowd. Letting sparrow act alone is a more risky step in the shadow plan, because it is obvious that the other party will not put the sparrow in a crowded "safe area" so easily, which means that no matter who is following them, the tracker will try to stop sparrow while searching for the shadow''s whereabouts.
Even well-trained assassin groups, when they face sudden changes, reaction time is necessary. And the shadow is waiting for this short moment. The shadow is not arrogant. He never thought that he could cover his whereabouts under the cover of the sparrow.
Therefore, he sent sparrow as a bait, which is definitely not a car loss Marshal''s move. As a hunter in the dark, his shadow is clear. When he can''t get rid of the other party''s tracking, blindly fleeing will only speed up his own death. This makes him have to find the weakness of the tracker before his physical strength is exhausted, so that even if he doesn''t have a direct conflict with the other party, he can also make the tracker realize that there is a price to pay if he continues to track.
Ejected from the shadow of his hiding place, the shadow suddenly appeared on the ridge opposite to sparrow. When the other party focuses most of his attention on the sparrow, this sudden move can make the enemy disorderly. As the shadow moved rapidly on the ridge of the roof, he searched for subtle changes with all his senses. He hoped to find out the number and location of the enemy through this trial.
However, the reality let the young killer disappointed, no sound, no reflection on the clothes. The other side seems completely unmoved by the shadow''s behavior. They are still quietly lurking in the corner that can''t be noticed, just watching the shadow show silently. But the shadow is not totally unprepared for this situation. Before he decided to split up, he had already put his intelligence pocket into sparrow. The reason is that if the other party let the sparrow leave, he can go directly to the information to the cheese hand.
Unlike the shadow''s anxiety, sparrow is nervous now, and perhaps to be precise, the sparrow feels that his heart may pop out of his mouth at any time. For this child, even though his body is more adapted to this fast-paced action than those pampered young masters and girls, the perennial malnutrition has brought serious hidden dangers to Sparrow''s body. Before struggling to keep up with the pace of the shadow, and even to make climbing over this extremely exhausting movement has made the little sparrow a little unbearable.
But, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the shadow running on the roof ridge, sparrow knew that this might be the most important turning point in his life. If he can complete the task that the shadow gives him, no matter the shadow, or the boss "one eyed" behind him, or even cheese, will be impressed with his own ability to move. Think of here, small sparrow body gush out some strength again.
The streets at dusk are not crowded, but in front of the vendors who are going to pack up their things and go home, there are still some people who want to pick up bargains. Most of them want to buy what they want at a lower price when they are eager to go home, especially when vegetables and fruits, which cannot be preserved for a long time, are always very cheap at dusk.
Such a crowd is the best place to hide his whereabouts. Sparrow is confident that he can get rid of the most difficult Hunter as long as he can get into the crowd.
Twenty steps, the distance measured by the little sparrow eye, and those who haggle over their daily expenses. Sparrow felt his back and hands full of sweat now, and his spirit had never been so concentrated or so nervous. But the risk is worth it. As long as you finish this short 20 steps and give the information in your arms to the cheese company, then everything is worth it.
Ten steps! The noisy crowd was close at hand. The people who followed them didn''t seem to care at all about Sparrow''s movements, or, after the shadow and the sparrow split up, they didn''t do anything to stop them. This may mean that they have given up tracking. But it is also possible that The other party is not inaction, but simply does not care about this little trick.
Five steps! Sparrow could even smell the sweat and bad perfume in the crowd, and he could disappear in the crowd if he had five more steps. Small sparrow tense nerve at this moment slightly relaxed some, such a short distance, the other party wants to do something is too late. Wait, and in a moment, sparrow will let them know how stupid it is to look down on a child growing up on the street.
But the accident happened at this time. As the sparrow focused most of its energy on defending its pursuers, a fat middle-aged man in a plaid gown came straight from the crowd towards the child. The man had a head that had lost most of its vitality, his last hair struggling to survive on the edge of his hairline, and his fat belly made him look like a standing keg. He was so fat that his arms alone were as thick as Sparrow''s waist.The man''s jaw was shaking, as if chewing something in his mouth. He looked relaxed, just like a butcher who had just closed the butcher''s shop and wanted to go to the pub for a drink. This common appearance made sparrow not notice the man at the first time. When the sparrow felt the light in front of him was blocked by something, it was too late.
Although sparrow wanted to dodge around the man for the first time, I don''t know if it was intentional. The fat man blocked Sparrow''s route with his open arms. There''s no need to look up at each other''s face. The sparrow knows it''s in trouble. Although behind the man is the crowd, but in this noisy environment, even if he yells for help, people around him will be blocked by the other party''s huge body and can not find their own position. If you want to avoid being caught, you have to rely on yourself.
The fat man looked down at the short sparrow with a cruel smile on his face. In his opinion, the little sparrow had no way to escape from his side. In fact, it is impossible for a child with chronic malnutrition to escape from the control of an adult at such a close distance. But Sparrow is not willing to give up, in a critical moment of quick wit let the child find the only way out in the desperate situation.
The little sparrow raised his head and looked at the other party''s complacent smile. He also laughed. Unlike the cruel smile of middle-aged people, sparrow''s smile is so naughty. Life on the street not only taught the sparrow survival skills, but also the experience of seeing countless fights. It also taught him what part of a person''s real weakness is. Especially men. As long as the short body is used well, it will bring advantages, and it does not need much time to prepare. Sparrow uses all his strength and punches at a certain position in front of him.
It should have been unexpected that such a young child would have such a cruel style. The expression of the middle-aged man instantly changed from complacent to mournful. The fat face looked rather funny due to the rapid change of expression. The unbearable pain made the middle-aged man''s knee subconsciously soft. He covered his hard hit part with his hands, but his mouth was too painful to cry out.
Although sparrow wanted to say something to laugh at each other, the sparrow knew that this was not the time to do it. Pain can slow down the opponent''s movement, but it can also breed the anger of the enemy. He doesn''t want to be punched by a guy who looks about four times his weight. The sparrow moved two steps to the left, bypassed the fat man, and finally got into the crowd.
Feeling temporarily safe, sparrow subconsciously wanted to look back and see what was going on in the shadows. But maybe it''s the problem of sight. No matter how the sparrow looks, he can''t find the shadow in the surrounding roof or eaves. The uneasy feeling urged the little sparrow to leave here quickly. He had a premonition that the shadow might be in trouble when he was circling with the fat man.
