The news and television stations not only released photos of the victims but also images of the scene where the pickup truck had been cut into six pieces.
Without a doubt—
This C-class wanted criminal, Dis Menthic, was also a psychic ability user.
Moyu silently withdrew his hand and turned to leave.
The old man at the newsstand looked up at Moyu’s back, muttering curses as he turned the small TV back on.
"This murderer has killed so many people, and they still haven’t caught him... I wonder what those people are eating for a living."
The old man spat on the ground.
Moyu left the newsstand and casually hailed a taxi on the roadside.
"Jinze Street, Ai Ai Bar."
Getting into the back seat, Moyu gave the location and then fell silent.
The taxi driver glanced at the underage Moyu through the rearview mirror, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He then turned the steering wheel and merged the taxi into the road.
Moyu turned his head to look out the window at the streets and shops lit up by the initial glow of the evening, and the passersby coming and going.
If it weren’t for the news just now, the bustling and lively scene before him would not have been much different from the city nights of his previous life.
"C-class wanted criminal, Dis Menthic."
Moyu muttered to himself, silently memorizing the name.
The middle-aged man he had met by chance on the road, who had parted ways with him less than two hours ago, had been brutally murdered by this psychic ability user named Dis.
And there were no shortage of such ruthless and vicious people like Dis. Even among the wanted criminals who did not possess psychic abilities, there were many.
In short,
The various places in the Hunter world were like different levels of chaotic Gotham Cities.
At any moment, a lawless and reckless Joker could emerge from the shadows, and there would always be a Batman upholding justice to counter the Joker.
This was the other side of the world, distinct from the bustling and lively scenes.
Moyu slowly gathered his thoughts, took out the world map he had just bought, and looked it over.
The six continents, ten zones, and the internationally recognized five major countries were essentially a condensed version of the world map.
The so-called six continents are the six landmasses distributed around the world.
The so-called ten zones are the territories governed by the ten highest leaders of the global mafia across the six continents.
The so-called five major countries are the five major international unions, namely the Sahertah United States, the Gugan Yu Kingdom, the Mingbo Republic, the Bergrosa United Nations, and the Ochima Federation, collectively known as V5.
The city where Moyu was currently located, Gulin City, is a northern city in the Sahertah United States on the Yulubian continent, about 1,100 kilometers away from Laxiang City, another northern coastal city.
"1,100 kilometers..."
Moyu scanned the world map and was suddenly drawn to a note in the corner—
"Spaceship speed: 95 km/h to 139 km/h"
This helpful note gave Moyu a rough idea of the travel time to Laxiang City.
"First, I need to get an identity card."
Moyu thought to himself.
Forty minutes later, the taxi arrived at the destination.
It was exactly 8 PM.
Moyu got out of the car, looked up at the brightly lit Ai Ai Bar, and then walked into the adjacent alley.
The alley was dimly lit, with garbage bins piled up against the walls, and the air was filled with a foul smell.
Moyu stepped over the ground, which seemed to be flowing with foul water, and walked to the end of the alley, where he saw two young men with dyed hair and piercings.
"Are you here to get a card?"
The tall young man with green hair sized up Moyu but did not show any disdain due to his age.
"Yes."
Moyu took out two 10,000 Zeni bills from his pocket.
The other young man with red hair walked over, took the money from Moyu, and after a few quick rubs, nodded to the green-haired young man.
The green-haired young man looked at Moyu and said coldly, "Just take a random photo, it’ll be done in half an hour. If you don’t want to wait here, you can go sit in the bar for a while. Go in through this back door, no one will stop you."
Moyu, hearing this, looked at the iron door on the left, faintly hearing the music from inside, and shook his head, declining the green-haired young man’s suggestion.
"Half an hour, you guys work pretty fast."
"Hmph, for such a small profit, if we weren’t efficient, how could we make money?"
The red-haired young man waved the two thin bills.
Moyu glanced at the red-haired young man and said calmly, "I’ll wait here."
"Alright."
The two young men were straightforward, took the money, and started the process to make the fake ID for Moyu.
Half an hour later.
Moyu received a fake identity card that could pass for real.
The green-haired young man said indifferently, "It’s a fake ID, good enough for taking a boat or a dirigible, or buying tickets at tourist sites, but don’t expect it to work for anything else, and definitely not for crossing borders."
"Okay."
Moyu nodded at the green-haired young man and turned to leave.
He had expected the process to be more complicated or troublesome due to his age, but it went smoothly, and they even matched his identity information, which was quite considerate.
The green-haired and red-haired young men watched Moyu leave the alley.
Once Moyu was out of sight, the red-haired young man couldn’t help but say, "Fly, it’s just a kid, why not just rob him? It would be much easier."
"Slap."
The green-haired young man slapped the red-haired young man on the forehead, then lit a cigarette and scolded, "You idiot, the eyes you’ve grown from the womb are only good for looking at butts and thighs."
"Uh..."
The red-haired young man rubbed his head and muttered, "But Fly, I like big boobs more."
"Slap, slap!"
The green-haired young man slapped him again, then took a deep puff of his cigarette.
"Have you seen Miss Coco at the recent gang meeting?"
"Ah, I just saw her from a distance. Fly, why are you bringing this up?"
"What do you think of Miss Coco’s aura?"
"Uh, I can’t really describe it, but... she stands out more than the big shots in the gang."
"Then do you believe me when I say that the boy just now is even more dangerous than Miss Coco?"
"Ha ha ha, Fly, you’re really joking."
The red-haired young man was taken aback, then laughed, thinking Fly was joking.
Fly looked at the red-haired young man, who was laughing heartily, and patted his shoulder twice, sighing, "I was wrong just now. You should spend more time looking at butts and thighs, so you don’t miss out on the chance later."
"???"
The red-haired young man looked bewildered.
At the airport.
Moyu got out of the taxi and headed straight for the airport hall.
It was already 10 PM.
Moyu checked at the service counter and found that there were no direct flights to Laxiang City from this airport. If he planned a route, including a layover, it would take at least 15 hours, so he might as well take a bus.
However, since he was already there, Moyu used the fake ID he had just obtained to buy a ticket for a connecting flight and then boarded the spaceship.
At 10:15 PM, the spaceship took off.
Three hours later.
The spaceship landed at a transfer station airport.
From here, flying to Laxiang City would be a roundabout route.
Moyu got off the spaceship, quickly bought a direct ticket to Laxiang City, and then boarded the spaceship, heading to the bar inside the spaceship and sitting by the window, waiting for the spaceship to take off.
"Should be able to arrive by evening."
Moyu propped his chin up and looked out the window at the night sky, his fingertips gently pressing the mouse pearl and sliding it back and forth on the table.
In a corner of the bar.
A pair of bright, large eyes were staring at the mouse pearl under Moyu’s fingertips.
