“Sweet and sour, spicy, two flavors, large bowl for eight, small for six,”
He Ao watched the girl in front of him expertly quote a price.
The girl wasn’t very tall, just over one and a half meters, slightly shorter than Yuan Nannan.
But her figure was proportionate and well-balanced, dressed in a black inner layer with a dark green jacket, and around her neck hung a black choker with a heart-shaped iron ring.
Her physique combined with her attire made her look much more mature than Yuan Nannan despite being shorter.
Noticing He Ao’s gaze, the girl looked up and met his eyes for a moment before quickly looking away.
She seemed to have been exercising strenuously just before, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead and her breathing slightly hurried, but she was trying her best to suppress her body’s instincts to appear calm.
“One spicy, large bowl,” He Ao said.
After avoiding He Ao’s gaze, the girl pointed at the noodles, trying to divert his attention.
“Okay, please wait a moment,”
He Ao began preparing the cold noodles.
He didn’t ask the girl about her situation; everyone has their own story, and he, He Ao, was just a noodle seller.
In two or three minutes, He Ao had the noodles ready.
He looked at the girl, “Eat here or take away?”
“Eat here!”
She responded hastily before he could finish.
“Alright,” He Ao served the cold noodles in a bowl and handed them to the girl, “careful, it’s greasy.”
“Thank you.”
The girl seemed to regain her composure gradually, taking the bowl of noodles from He Ao with one hand and walking toward a small folding table nearby.
The sound of rubber wheels rolling on the uneven ground reached He Ao’s ears.
Only then did He Ao notice that the girl was dragging a small black square suitcase, which didn’t seem large but looked quite heavy.
As the girl settled down, He Ao’s noodle stand became quiet again.
—
“Stop!”
Zhang Ansha’s shout echoed through the dark night.
The Industrial District was built at the outskirts of the city, adjacent to the rural villages of the suburban area, positioned exactly between the city and the countryside, dotted with construction sites as well as sporadically located self-built houses.
Therefore, the terrain was complex, with paths leading in all directions and no surveillance.
It was Zhang Ansha’s first time here, and the layout had him somewhat dizzy.
The person he was chasing was apparently very familiar with the area, darting between the houses and construction sites like a local.
But his speed was nowhere near that of Zhang Ansha’s.
Although he had managed to stay ahead due to his knowledge of the terrain, the gap between them was closing.
If He Ao were there, he would clearly recognize that the figure of this young man was very similar to the Transcendent who could turn into a Bull and had caused trouble at his stand the day before.
In fact, the ‘Bull’ had always been Zhang Ansha’s target.
He had come close to He Ao’s noodle stand last night while investigating the ‘Bull’ but had lost him after chasing him into an alleyway.
This time, he quickened his pace and kept a tighter watch.
However, as the chase continued, something felt off to him.
The ‘Bull’s explosive power should have been strong, and it was why Zhang Ansha had lost him due to a sudden burst of speed the day before.
But today, the ‘Bull’ being chased clearly showed a disadvantage in speed and relied solely on familiarity with the terrain to gain distance.
As he pondered, the ‘Bull’ ahead turned into a small path alongside the wall of a self-built house.
After passing through a few times, Zhang Ansha was somewhat familiar with the layout.
He vaulted over the wall and crossed over the house, appearing on a small path on the other side.
On this path, the ‘Bull’ was slowing down, puzzled as to why Zhang Ansha hadn’t followed, and was about to look back when a strong punch came flying to his face, knocking him to the ground.
Zhang Ansha immediately pulled out a pair of alloy handcuffs from behind his waist, pinned down the young man on the ground, and cuffed him.
“How did you manage to get here?”
The young man pinned under Zhang Ansha clearly couldn’t understand why Zhang Ansha had suddenly appeared in front of him.
Zhang Ansha fell silent for a moment, feeling it unnecessary to explain to someone that the world is actually three-dimensional, where one can not only walk but also climb over walls.
He pressed the Bluetooth headset hanging on his ear, and the call was quickly connected.
A somewhat chilly female voice came through, “Did you catch him?”
“Caught him,” Zhang Ansha looked down at the youth beneath him, “but I feel like something’s not right.”
“Be careful.
There was an anomaly reported nearby not long ago, and we haven’t had the chance to investigate it yet.
According to the current data, Transcendents, abnormal environments, and pollutants tend to attract each other,”
the woman immediately reminded him.
“Yeah, I know,” Zhang Ansha nodded, his gaze still fixed on the youth’s cheek, “That anomaly is to the east, and I went west.
It’s just…
‘Bull’ seems much weaker than the reports suggested…far too weak…”
As he spoke, he paused abruptly and flipped over his right hand, which had a powder very similar in color to his skin faintly smeared on the back.
It was the hand he had used to strike the youth’s cheek.
He slowly lowered his head and saw the youth’s face, held down by him, had an uneven color.
He directly rubbed his hand on the youth’s face, and a thick layer of ‘mud’-like substance came off, revealing the original somewhat pale flesh beneath.
The youth’s ‘appearance’ also changed with this force.
Although it was now multicolored, Zhang Ansha could clearly recognize,
this was not ‘Bull’!
“We’ve been tricked!
Be careful!”
He immediately shouted into the phone.
The response was a violent explosion.
——
Liu Nan, in a huff, dragged Yuan Nannan out of that narrow street and back onto the main road.
Then she looked at Yuan Nannan protecting her bowl as if afraid to spill even a drop of its contents, and her irritation gradually gave way to doubt,
“Is it really that delicious?”
“Of course,” Yuan Nannan said excitedly, picking up a chopstick-full of noodles, “here, let me feed you a bite.”
Liu Nan, somewhat skeptical, opened her mouth, and the soft and sticky noodles wrapped around the crispy bean sprouts were sucked into her mouth.
The perfectly seasoned sauce simultaneously burst with flavor, making Liu Nan’s eyes widen.
She slurped the noodles and wanted to curse a few words, but could not bring herself to do it, merely pouting slightly, “It is quite delicious.”
In fact, she knew the anger was unfounded; rather than anger, it was more like annoyance born from her beauty being ineffective, a chagrin from her cuteness not being acknowledged.
Thinking of this, she sighed again.
She had seen people who were immune to her looks before, but they were mostly older individuals without desires, or those in high positions with clearer dreams and aspirations.
To encounter resistance among her peers was a first for her.
“Liu Nan, when are you and He Ao getting married?
That way, I can eat such delicious cold noodles every day,”
Yuan Nannan said while eating, expressing her sentiment.
······
It was all ‘he likes you’ just now, and now we’re fast-forwarding to marriage?
Isn’t your train of thought jumping too quickly?
Liu Nan helplessly rolled her eyes; her relationship with He Ao was merely that of unacquainted classmates, at most with a favor yet to be repaid.
Whether they would have future interactions was uncertain, much less the possibility of developing feelings.
However, she was also used to Yuan Nannan’s tendency to pair up any two people she saw and root for their relationship.
The two most muscular and handsome guys in their class had already been ‘shipped’ by Yuan Nannan.
“All right,” Liu Nan looked around.
The Industrial District was extremely deserted, with only the wide roads and some parked cars whose presence of passengers was uncertain.
Pedestrians and vehicles were rare; she took out her phone, “I’ll call a cab back to school.”
And just as she took out her phone, in a pure white sedan not far from her, a woman in green-blue clothing was watching her while speaking on the phone.
“We’ve been tricked!”
As these clear words came through the phone, a black object flashing with red light was suddenly thrown from a distance, landing next to the car.
Seeing this object, the woman didn’t bother to respond to the call.
She fiercely pushed open the door and leaped out of the car.
Boom——
A tremendous explosion sounded.
