Strange Humans on Blue Star
Blue Star, night, 9 PM, heavy rain.
Qin An walked down the deserted street, a feather in his hand, looking around somewhat uneasily.
"This... should be fine now, right...?"
He had already returned to Blue Star an hour ago, and no Cleaner had come to hunt him down. It was just as Lin Feng had said.
Qin An immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He then pulled his clothes tighter and quickly left the area.
Although the almost invincible Cleaners couldn't find him, it didn't mean Qin An was safe. At this moment, he and Lin Feng were still internationally wanted criminals.
Besides the two of them, there were three other international fugitives, but Qin An couldn't be sure if these three were Seekers.
"I still need to find a place to stay quickly."
Qin An, sheltering from the rain under an overpass, said with a worried expression.
It was night, and with the heavy rain, there weren't many people on the road, so he was relatively safe. But once day broke, it would be fraught with danger.
"Cough, cough, cough... cough, cough..."
Just then, intermittent coughing sounds came from not far from Qin An. Looking closely, he found a homeless man curled up in a nearby dumpster.
For some reason, Qin An suddenly remembered the old man who had saved him from the Cleaner.
Out of curiosity, he slowly walked over.
The homeless man seemed to have been woken by his coughing. Hearing footsteps, he quickly stood up.
Then, he stared at Qin An with cloudy eyes for a long time.
"This dumpster is my territory. If you want to sleep, go somewhere else."
After speaking, the homeless man coughed a few more times, then lay back down in the dumpster and started snoring.
It was as if the foul, damp environment didn't exist for him.
"Sigh."
Qin An shook his head, then pulled out his phone and zoned out, thinking about where to go in the next few days after returning to Blue Star.
However, he still needed to go to the bank to withdraw some money first.
Thinking of this, Qin An immediately got up and ran to a bank where he had an account.
Although he didn't have his bank card with him, current ATM machines allowed face-scan withdrawals, so Qin An successfully withdrew over ten thousand yuan.
Just as he was happily preparing to find a place to spend the night, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
If he was an internationally wanted criminal, then his bank card should have been frozen.
Why was it still usable?
Qin An's expression suddenly turned grim.
Could it be that they deliberately didn't freeze his personal information? So they could track his location when he used it.
"Damn it, I should have thought of that earlier."
Qin An cursed at the bank entrance, then quickly left.
Although his attribute values were not as high as Lin Feng's now, his basic stats were over five hundred points.
On Blue Star, it could be said that no one could do anything to him unless the army was mobilized.
Before long, Qin An returned to hide under the overpass.
On the way, he also bought some food and water from a 24-hour convenience store. Fortunately, he was well-covered, so the store clerk didn't recognize him as an internationally wanted criminal.
Not long after Qin An left, several police cars and an anti-riot patrol vehicle stopped in front of the bank.
Several heavily armed police officers got out.
"The fugitive has escaped. We were a step too late."
"Immediately pull up nearby surveillance footage and see where he went."
"Yes!"
............
Soon, the police found Qin An's figure in the surveillance video.
"This person's speed is too fast. Immediately call the convenience store clerk over."
The police chief said, looking at the video on the screen, which had been slowed down to 0.3x speed.
Before long, the notified clerk was brought to the police station.
"Don't be nervous, sir. Can you tell me what this person bought here just now?"
The police chief asked, playing a clipped segment of the video in front of the clerk.
"He... he seemed to just buy some food and water. Yes, he only bought food and water."
The clerk said, trying hard to recall, but his expression looked very much like he was faking it.
The police chief seemed to be used to this and didn't pay attention, but continued to press.
"Do you know where he was going?"
"Oh, right, I did eat fried dough sticks and buns this morning."
The clerk answered irrelevantly.
Then, as if stuck, he kept repeating what he had done that day.
The police chief and those around him watched all of this very calmly, as if it were a perfectly normal occurrence.
After more than ten minutes, the self-talking clerk finally returned to normal.
Seeing that the clerk had recovered, the police chief let him go.
Then he continued to check the surveillance.
However, after watching all night, he still couldn't find Qin An's exact location, only a rough area.
At dawn, several police cars and anti-riot vehicles set out, fully loaded.
One of the anti-riot vehicles arrived at the overpass in the suburbs.
At this moment, Qin An had just woken up on a cardboard box.
He had traded the cardboard box from the homeless man for a packet of instant noodles.
There were no blankets or anything in the convenience store, so he had to make do with this.
"Oh, right, I should tell Lin Feng about the current situation, so he'll be mentally prepared next time he returns to Blue Star."
Qin An thought for a moment, feeling it was necessary to tell Lin Feng about their status as wanted criminals.
Just as he opened his phone to send a message to Lin Feng, the sound of car brakes suddenly came.
People generally didn't stop here, unless it was fishermen coming to fish.
But Qin An, always vigilant, immediately got up to confirm. Seeing the anti-riot vehicle parked in the distance, Qin An didn't hesitate to turn and run.
"Damn it, they're really relentless."
.........................
On the other side, in the permanent floor, the rain was gradually lessening.
"Brother Lin, I'm taking some people to hunt a magical beast to roast. You set up the grill."
"Alright, the rain has also lessened now."
Lin Feng nodded. Some magical beast meat, besides being tastier than ordinary meat, also had a certain ability to improve physical fitness.
Of course, Lin Feng's current attribute values would no longer increase no matter how much magical beast meat he ate.
"System, do you know how to open this bound storage ring?"
After Kuze left with his people, Lin Feng finally consulted the system.
He hoped the system would reply to him.
"Ding, why doesn't the Host try the omnipotent key?"
Hearing the system's reply, Lin Feng was stunned.
"That works too?"
