Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 68 Reed's Misjudgment

The moment Reed sensed the danger, he took Delin and fled towards the Control Bureau. They ran around the city streets like rats, while the danger lurking in the dark was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, lurking around them, constantly changing direction and lingering.

If an ordinary person encounters a murderer or a stalker, he or she will definitely try to escape to crowded places as much as possible. However, this is not the case for the employees of the Control Bureau. They must ensure that ordinary people are not implicated. This is the most basic quality that everyone in the Control Bureau must possess.

Reed and Delin went into the sparsely populated alleys, constantly taking shortcuts, and called the night watch team for this time period. But just as the call was connected, in the shadows of the narrow alley, under the dim street lights, a figure without an umbrella stood there quietly.

Rain fell from the sky and scattered into crystal raindrops under the street lights. The lights outlined the other person's body. There seemed to be an invisible barrier around him, and even the thin raindrops could not float into his body.

Reed knew very well what he saw at that time. A layer of gray-black smoke enveloped the other party. That was the concrete visual effect of his supernatural power, [Fear Perception].

According to Local Material Exchange Law, wherever there is contact, there will be traces left.

In the extraordinary world, the coverage of this law becomes even wider. Every thought will leave a trace.

Once a person's thoughts are born, even if he does nothing in reality, they will leave traces somewhere you cannot perceive.

The same is true of Reed's perception of fear. He can see how many people have feared a person.

The son fears his father, the wife fears her husband, the bullied fears the bully; these fears are all very light gray in Reed's eyes, and he usually subconsciously blocks out these insignificant fears.

Only the fear brought by death will be captured by him subconsciously, and people's fear of death is always the strongest.

And the color of that fear—is black.

This was the color he saw at the time, black granular mist floating around the opponent, the density was much more exaggerated than he had imagined, even the third-level finishers he had seen did not have such thick black mist.

At that moment, Reed was certain that even if the opponent's strength was not as good as that of a third-level finisher, the number of kills and the means of evil he had committed were definitely far superior to that of a finisher.

"Good evening, operators!"

The voice was old but with a joyful upswing, and then the other party approached, swaying closer.

The last thing Reed remembered was the innocent childlike smile on the old man's face.

Then he fainted, and when he woke up, his good partner had been chopped into pieces. He would never forget that scene.

"call--"

Reed exhaled heavily, threw the cigarette under his feet and crushed it, then picked it up and put it in his pocket.

Judging from the time, the two expatriate specialists should be arriving soon.

The moment he stood up, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis again, which was very similar to the feeling he felt when he walked out of the cafe that night.

Is Angang Xiongwu nearby?
Reed subconsciously grabbed the pistol on his belt, even though he knew it would most likely be useless.

The next second, the source of the fear was located. Reed turned around abruptly, and before he could react, the gun had been pulled out and pointed straight at the other party!
"Ahhhhh!!"

When passers-by saw Reed drawing his gun, they screamed and immediately ran away.

At the top of the stairs where the gun was pointing, a white-haired man wearing a black mask and a black-haired boy with a tired look on his face were standing there quietly.

The black-haired boy looked a little confused, while the white-haired man looked calm.

Reed rubbed his hands awkwardly, put his empty hands down, bent down, and raised the handover sign at his feet - "Louis Tour Group".

The blade that was against Reed's carotid artery was slowly put back into the sheath. The pistol that had been taken away at some point was returned to the other's waist by Su Weiyu, who also patted him.

"Mr. Reed? Are you okay?" Bai He walked up to Reed and patted his shoulder comfortingly. "I heard about your partner's situation. I'm sorry for the loss."

"I'm sorry, I've been feeling a little... "

Reed, not knowing what to say, shrugged helplessly and opened the back door for the two of them.

He took a closer look at the two of them. He knew where the sense of crisis just now came from. It was this white-haired young man.

He also had a very thick black fog on him, but the black fog did not spread, only a very thin layer, close to the outline of his body. The degree of spread of the black fog represented the duration of the fear.

Different forms represent different conclusions.

The black fog like that of An Gangxiongwu represents that he has killed many people and caused those people great fear and long-lasting torture.

The black mist on the white-haired young man means that although he has killed many people, the fear of him felt by the victims only lasted for a moment.

There is no doubt...he is very strong.

Reed shifted his gaze to look at another person. That person was clean without even a trace of black mist.

This made Reed a little confused.

What's going on? Have you never killed anyone?

It seems that this gentleman is a person who specializes in strange events. His [Fear Perception] can only read human fear emotions, and other fear emotions cannot be observed.

Just as Xia Shou was about to get on the car, Reed saw something black flash by at the bottom of his vision.

At that moment, an extreme fear and sense of death that he had never experienced in his life hit Reed like a gunshot. He let out a scream that he had never heard or made before. Whenever he thought about it afterwards, he found it unbelievable. It was simply not a sound that a human could make.

But at this moment, he did cry out.

His body seemed to be controlled by a higher will and he could not help but evade the attack.

He lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. However, before his body hit the ground, Reed's eyes could not move away from the other person's feet.

What kind of fog is that? It's so thick!
It's just like a piece of black cloth that doesn't reflect any light!
How much fear is needed...how many people must be slaughtered...how long must those people be tortured to create such a terrifying fog of fear!!!

"Don't come over here!" Reed shouted hoarsely. The passers-by around were frightened and stopped at a safe distance to watch.

"Brother Bai, Brother Bai is in trouble! What's wrong with him?"

The frightened Xia Shou immediately went to pull Bai He who was sitting in the car, thinking to himself that the person who came to pick them up might not be a mental patient.

Reed fell to the ground, gasping for breath, staring at the "black fog" that had just made him lose his composure.

Look...did I see it wrong?

Not black fog, just a shadow?
"Mr. Reed, are you okay?" Bai He frowned, leaned on the car door, and looked at his foreign colleague worriedly.

"No, it's okay, I'm probably... just... too nervous." Reed laughed dryly, trying to cover up his panic.

His hands and feet were weak and even a little sore, as if the brief dodge just now had drained all the glycogen in his muscles.

"It's okay, you guys get in the car, I can do it myself." Reed cursed his own incompetence in his heart.

Damn it! How could I have mistaken a shadow for a fog of fear? I guess I need to go to the psych department for some adjustment.

Reed climbed up with difficulty by the car body, and took one last glance at the shadow under Xia Shou's feet with the corner of his eye.

It wasn't black at all, just an ordinary grey shadow, nothing unusual.

"Mr. Reed, let me drive. Anyone can drive now with a navigation system." Bai He patted Reed's shoulder and pushed him to the back seat.

"No, no, no, you are guests, how can you do this."

"No, let me do it, um... cough!" Bai He glanced at Zhong De's pants and coughed softly.

Reed was stunned and looked down, only to find that he had become incontinent due to the shock just now.
