Accel World (先飞看刀) Chapter 8: Tracking
"The star pattern is approaching us quickly!"
Su Yetong's words made the other three people startled.
"Direction?" the man in the black suit said abruptly.
"Five o'clock direction, straight line!" Su Yetong stared at the square mirror on the top of the inspiration abacus, and the runes jumped rapidly in the mirror.
The man in the black suit is lightning-sweeping toward the direction of five o'clock—the car window on the right rear, and his gaze falls on the two uplifted tall buildings: "Flying escape method? High-altitude jump?"
"Nine out of ten!" That direction is full of buildings, and the only way to approach them in a straight line is in the air.
"The twins can't escape, right?" said the boy on the left in the back row.
"Although it is a natural spirit body, I don't know how to use it yet, because I am worried that the 'Blood Abyss' incident will happen again, and the spirit vein has been closed by Dean Zhan Xuyue, so I can't use any escape methods at present." Su Yetong said quickly answer.
"Could it be that female student named Nie Chengyan?"
"Impossible!" The man in the black suit said coldly, "Although the 'Flower Dance' is a first-rate escape method, she has the most and the most, and she is only a second-rate escape master, and she cannot fully display the 'flower dance'." No matter if she is flying or jumping in the air, she can't do the function of "Dancing Enzyme". What's more, she will never be able to detect my movements!"
"It's getting closer!" Su Yetong's eyes flashed behind the glasses.
"Stay away! Xiaogu, notify the captain!" The man in the black suit ordered quickly.
The next moment, the car driving forward at high speed suddenly slammed sideways, and the friction between the wheels and the ground made a piercing sound of "squeak", followed by the emergency braking sound of the vehicle behind because of the sudden stop of the vehicle in front .
There was chaos in the surrounding traffic, and the main driver, the burly man who caused the chaos, completely ignored the trouble he caused. Accelerating, breaking through the protective barrier, passing through the downhill full of weeds in the ups and downs of vibration, breaking into another main road, and galloping towards the tunnel ahead.
"Captain, we are being followed... The star pattern was affixed to the school uniform of one of the twin sisters as planned, and we were suddenly followed... Hey, Captain? Captain?" Behind the burly man, Su Yetong On the left side, a boy called Xiao Gu is holding a mobile phone, talking to someone far away.
The light and shadow around him dimmed a lot, the car drove into the tunnel, and the communication of the mobile phone became intermittent.
…
***
On the avenue, the chaos caused by a sudden change of direction of a certain car has not yet ended, and a gust of wind strikes like a meteor.
What is that? The drivers parked on the side of the road looked at the same time, and in the wind that swept up the dust circle, a small figure hooked its legs and landed with a "slap". The moment he touched the ground, before anyone could see his appearance clearly, he turned around and rushed out of the avenue, slid down the hillside, kicked his legs, along the edge of another main road, accelerated suddenly, and rushed into the front tunnel.
The flying snake-like figure is parallel to the top of the tunnel wall. The vehicles in the same direction as him were all left behind by him, and the vehicles in the opposite direction roared past below him. Occasionally, he would sink for a while, just touch the water, the toes of the toes touched the reverse staggered roof, and the moment his body floated, the speed was further accelerated.
In front of him, the lights on the top of the wall, one after another, curved to the left in an arc. A circle of light flashed across his head, bringing out an orange afterimage behind him.
…
***
At the exit of the tunnel, a small car drove out, and another black car passed by at an extremely fast speed. Sudden overtaking in such a dangerous place, the owner of the car was startled, the steering wheel slipped, and almost ran off the runway.
The black car entered the reverse lane, drifted laterally at the moment when the vehicle in front was about to hit it, turned in front of the car, and returned to the same lane, leaving the driver of the car behind stunned and admiring the other car's driving skills at the same time But he couldn't help but yell. The vehicles speeding past on the opposite side only reacted after the black car switched back to the lane, and let out a long and sharp sound.
During the continuous overtaking, the black car forcibly changed direction again, left the main road, rushed into the building complex, and kept interspersing between buildings.
"Did you get rid of it?" The burly man who showed off his driving skills again and again seemed a little complacent.
"It's still behind us, it's getting closer and closer!" Su Yetong, who was seated on the right rear seat, gently raised the glasses on his face with his fingers, and told him the cruel fact.
The burly man's complexion was somewhat ugly, his steel-like arms were tightly gripped by the steering wheel, and his veins were strained.
"Continuous high-speed flight consumes a lot of energy, no matter what kind of escape method it is impossible to last for too long!" The man in the black suit said coldly.
"It's not a complete high-altitude flight." Su Yetong stared at the beating runes on the inspiration abacus. Such a master. We will be overtaken by him before his physical strength is exhausted."
"Is he still approaching us in a straight line?"
"That's right!"
"In this kind of place, it is impossible for him to see us with his naked eyes," the man in the black suit looked at the surrounding buildings that were constantly receding, "How did he lock us?"
"Although I don't know how he did it, it is most likely through the star pattern on the school uniform," Su Yetong said quickly, "When I monitored the position of the star pattern through the inspiration abacus, he was also using the star pattern Reversely track our position. In theory, only the same outstanding rune escapist can do this, but ordinary rune escapist cannot have such speed, and the physical strength and strength required for high-speed flight Body control."
"Why don't we," Xiaogu interjected, "let's turn off the inspiration abacus here, so that he can't track us through the star patterns?"
"No!" The man in the black suit, the burly man, and Su Yetong stopped at the same time.
Xiao Gu didn't dare to say anything for a while.
"We have to consider the possibility that the other party is not tracking us through the star patterns," said the man in the black suit. "If that's the case, if you turn off the inspiration abacus rashly, not only will you have no way to get rid of him, but you will lose his position completely. And the distance has really become the enemy's darkness, and we must face attacks from unknown directions at any time."
Between two rows of high-rise buildings, in the center of the "concave" shape, a black car passed by at high speed, and a scream came from the front. It was too late to get out of the way, but subconsciously hugged him even tighter. Seeing that the black car was about to hit it, the right hand of the man in the black suit stretched out the car window, and his five fingers intertwined mysteriously and quickly. The next moment, a man and a woman who were only an inch away from the front of the car flew into the air. Slowing down and rushing past, behind it, men and women fell down, still in shock. Above their heads, two shadows flashed in the night and disappeared.
Another turn!
"I can't escape!" Su Yetong said hurriedly.
"I can only fight back! A Bing!" said the man in the black suit.
Boom! The burly man opened the door and jumped straight down. His steel-like body curled up and rolled on the ground like a ball. His whole body "sinked" into the ground and disappeared.
The driver jumped out and the black sedan began to wriggle. The man in the black suit pointed his right hand, and a ghostly shadow appeared on the driver's seat, driving the car instead of the burly man who jumped out of the car. After several turns in a row, he drove into a dead end. Seeing that it was about to hit the wall at the end, the man in the black suit slapped his fingers, the vehicle stopped suddenly, and the shadow turned into mist and disappeared without a trace.
The man in the black suit opened the door and got out of the car. Su Yetong and Xiao Gu also pushed open the doors beside them and got out of the car.
Snake-shaped rays of light flew through the air, spun in the air obliquely above them, and on the wall blocking the car, a relatively thin figure appeared.
The man in the black suit, Su Yetong, and Xiao Gu were stunned at the same time... Children?
