Capítulo 12: Chapter 12

At this moment, a killing intent arose in Syd's heart.

At the same time, he also considered whether it was too cruel to casually take a life. However, this thought was quickly dismissed.

Those people were clearly coming for him with lethal intent, and if captured, the only thing awaiting him would be death! Since they were after his life, he had no intention of letting them off easily. Of course, he could run and hide for a while, but that was never his plan.

Hiding would only work for so long before he was found.

Only by causing significant losses to these people could he truly buy some time.

Syd quickly weighed the pros and cons.

Soon, his gaze hardened.

Just as he had thought before, if those people wanted his life, they should not expect an easy time! The idea of defeating them and then letting them leave unharmed never crossed his mind.

Letting them go back to recuperate and come after him again? Images of mutant behaviors involuntarily surfaced in Syd's mind.

As he finished his contemplations and made his decision, the ten armed personnel slowly approached.

A deep voice, amplified by a loudspeaker, reached Syd's ears.

"Mutant suspect Kevin, we know you're hiding nearby. Come out now, or we will attack."

Captain George held the megaphone in his right hand, warning the mutant suspect named Kevin while vigilantly watching a house a few dozen meters away.

Besides Syd and them, the residents hiding in nearby houses were also very nervous and afraid, worried about being affected by the battle.

Of course, there were also those driven by curiosity and fearlessness.

Some were peeking out of windows, some stood on balconies watching the scene, and some even had recording equipment ready to capture the scene for some sensational traffic.

The residents whispered among themselves. Inside one of the small houses, a middle-aged man spoke with a little girl.

"Mutant?"

"Dad, what's going on?"

"Quiet, the police are catching a bad guy!"

"Ah, so who will win, Dad?"

"Well, that's easy to guess. The police will win for sure. No matter how powerful the mutants are, they can't beat the well-armed police, can they?"

Not just this father and daughter, but everyone watching the scene felt similarly, believing that the mutant suspect wouldn't last long before being captured.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time they had seen mutants being captured, and they had never seen a mutant win. The lighter cases ended with surrender and capture, while the severe cases could even result in death.

Some prayed that the mutant wouldn't resist, as they didn't want any fatalities nearby. Others were excited and eager to see the police shoot the mutant suspect dead.

In the distance, Chris sighed quietly.

He thought, if there was a way to help, he might as well try to let the kid escape.

In his view, it was doubtful the kid could win or even escape.

After all, a mutant with only the ability to absorb sunlight and hand-to-hand combat skills, how could he compete against fully armed individuals? If it came down to it, any resistance would mean being shot from a distance!

Seeing that the mutant suspect still hadn't come out, Captain George, dressed in black, frowned slightly, growing impatient and continued shouting.

"Inside, mutant suspect, after our investigation, you've been found to have misused your powers causing fatalities. This is a serious offense!"

"Come out and come back with us, we can still be lenient with you..."

Listening to the ongoing chatter, Syd's eyes were full of disbelief.

Go back with them, to die? The words were pretty, but if he weren't a mutant and hadn't experienced those horrible things, just a regular person, maybe he would have believed them. Now...

He believed that going back with them would save even the lawyer's fees, as he would simply vanish!

"These people still not moving closer?"

Looking at the distance of a few dozen meters between them, Syd frowned slightly.

If it weren't for waiting for them to come closer, saving the energy used for spatial transfer, he would have been too lazy to talk nonsense with these people.

After a long wait, seeing that talking was a waste as the mutant suspect still had no intention of coming out or even speaking a word, the ten armed personnel's expressions turned cold.

"If you don't come out, then we'll have to arrest you by force. Please do not resist, or you will bear the consequences..."

Captain George finally spoke, more for the nearby residents to hear, indicating that they had followed all procedural protocols.

After warning, if the mutant suspect didn't come out and was accidentally killed, they couldn't be blamed!

And this time, they had already received permission from above; if the mutant suspect resisted fiercely, accidentally killing him wouldn't cause any issues.

"We're in position, expect to engage soon."

"Daisy, help lock onto the suspect's position..." Captain George said into his headset.

Meanwhile, his team members began to move. Some of them even put on thermal imaging equipment.

The sun had already set, and the dimming light made it difficult to spot the suspect. Now, with thermal imaging, there was no way the mutant suspect could hide!

They slowly surrounded the building, confidence evident on each face.

They had received information about the mutant, even seen videos of him using his powers, and they couldn't imagine losing.

As long as they maintained their distance, given the mutant's weak abilities, they didn't believe he had any chance to resist! They even worried about accidentally firing too many shots and killing the young man outright.

So, at this moment, their faces were filled with confidence, feeling as though victory was already beckoning to them.

After closing to within about ten meters, they did not approach further. A muscular man named Brandon pulled a tear gas grenade from his belt and threw it near the house without a second thought.

With the tear gas, they didn't believe the mutant suspect could continue to hide! Everyone tightly gripped their firearms, eyes fixated on every corner of the house, ready to shoot as soon as the suspect appeared.

In the distance, Chris also tensed up, preparing to intervene.

However, the outcome was somewhat unexpected! Noticing the incoming object, Syd frowned and instantly teleported away from his original position.

In an instant, his figure appeared just a few meters away from Captain George and his men.

Capítulo 13: Chapter 13

This close, even in the dim light, both sides could clearly see each other's faces.

Syd Castell's face was filled with coldness, while the confidence on George and his team's faces vanished, replaced by shock and astonishment.

What happened, how did the mutant suspect appear so close? Not just them, Chris, who was watching from a distance and about to intervene, was also stunned.

His face, covered with a scruffy beard, was full of confusion, not understanding what had happened.

Instantaneous movement? The kid had moved instantly in front of them?

"Does he have that ability?" Chris exclaimed in surprise.

He suddenly realized that he might have underestimated the kid.

Not only was he surprised, but the watching residents and passersby also covered their mouths in shock.

At that moment.

"Not good, there's been a mistake in the intelligence!" Captain George quickly realized and was about to raise his gun to shoot.

Unfortunately, before he could shoot, Syd flickered again to their side, then raised his right hand and pointed at them.

Dark ripples emanated from his finger, shooting towards them at a rapid pace.

"Ah..."

"Captain, save me..."

"Oh God..."

They saw egg-sized black particles, three in a row, pass through three armed personnel who couldn't dodge in time!

[Black Particle Experience +1]

Whether it was their black vests or clothes, nothing could stop it; they were instantly devoured and perforated! In an instant, they collapsed to the ground, clutching the pierced areas.

Having a portion of their flesh and internal organs devoured by the black particles, even these tough men couldn't endure and began to wail in pain.

Unless treated within a few minutes, they were certain to die! Compared to the previous finger-sized black particles, now, if the black particles hit an internal organ, death was almost certain! Using the faint light to look at the black particles shot out, both Chris and the watching residents were stunned.

But while they were stunned, George and his team did not hesitate. They immediately scattered, and Captain George anxiously shouted, "Andy, Michael, Henry!"

Seeing them bleeding profusely on the ground in dire straits, he yelled angrily, "Vicious kid!"

"Vicious, huh..." 

[Space Transfer Experience +1]

Syd dodged the incoming bullets with another space transfer, calmly saying, "I'm just returning what you were planning to do to me."

Seeing him dodge again, George temporarily stopped his team from shooting again.

"Do you know what you're doing, attacking government personnel like this, what awaits you is..."

"Captain, stop talking, kill this brat, avenge Andy!"

"You're doomed, you disgusting freak, wait for the army to hunt you down!"

While Syd kept an eye on their movements, he was about to retort when a long-lost alert sounded in his ear.

[In a corner you cannot see, a hidden hunter has taken aim at you, seemingly ready to strike you down, you…]

[Space Transfer Experience +1]

Without a second thought, Syd teleported away from his original position.

Thud! A bullet deeply penetrated the ground.

"Sniper, are there others?" Syd's heart chilled, and he looked around cautiously, teleporting again to be safe.

After checking the face of the one who had been speaking, and seeing him surprised that Syd had managed to dodge, Syd didn't dare stay longer, not knowing when the hidden sniper might strike again.

On his way, he stretched out his hand towards the one who seemed to be the captain. 

[Black Particle Experience +1]

However, to his surprise, the black particles were dodged by the captain with a side-step.

Clearly, black particles, just like bullets, could be dodged if one was prepared in advance. Even laser eyes could be dodged, and his black particles were even slower, making it normal to be dodged.

"My energy is running low..." he frowned.

After practicing with the black particles, because it was dark, he hadn't recovered much energy, and the level two black particles were consuming a lot of energy. Now he was barely holding on.

With a sniper still around, he wasn't sure he could take these people down with the remaining energy. A misstep could cost him his life, and he wasn't about to risk it.

He shot three more black particles at George and his men, then teleported away without looking back.

Screams of agony followed from behind.

Thud, thud, bullets hit where he had been standing, including pistol and sniper rifle bullets.

Syd didn't bother with those, feeling the energy for four more space transfers within him, he used three in quick succession, moving dozens of meters away to where they couldn't see him.

[Space Transfer Experience +1]

[Space Transfer Experience +1]

Syd gasped for air, dragging his weakened body towards a dark alley.

As he ran, he quickly reviewed the course of the battle and shook his head.

"The energy inside me is still too low. It's a good thing there were only about a dozen of them. If there had been a hundred, even if they just stood there and let me kill them, I probably couldn't finish them off, right?"

Without his powers, anyone could easily defeat him given his current battered state! In the end, it all came down to having too little energy. If he had more energy, he could have easily taken down these ten people, even the sniper behind them! With that thought, his desire to enhance his strength grew even stronger.

"Just give me a little time..."

This thought echoed in his mind as he disappeared into the shadows of the dark alley.

In the distance, George and his men did not pursue, and were currently dealing with the aftermath.

"Andy, Michael... wake up!"

The remaining five people constantly called out to the injured lying on the ground.

Unfortunately, no matter how much they shouted, the responses from those pale-faced, blood-soaked teammates were very weak, some even fainting from shock.

Seeing the dire state of his teammates, a murderous intent flashed in Captain George's eyes, "That damn mutant freak!"

"You wait, next time..."

Next time, there would definitely be more people rounding up that mutant freak, and he would surely be part of that manhunt! Captain George's face showed a determined look.

At the same time, he also felt somewhat incredulous.

"Why... why was the intelligence wrong?"

The other four survivors, also full of doubt, shared Captain George's question. They simply couldn't believe what they had just witnessed.

They were incredulous on this side, while many watching residents and Chris in the distance were stunned.
