The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao called the two people inside the study. Carole and Tony were led by Lisa. She arranged a chair for the two people to sit down beside Yang Dao and left the room. She was sensible enough to know where she can mingle or not.

Carole noticed that Yang Dao had changed his clothes. She asked, “Did you take a shower?”

She was trying to fish in the dark. It was her habit after joining the intelligence department she had become very observant and nosy. Yang Dao was also a psychology student and a good one at that. How could he miss the intention Carole had? He chose to not hide and simply nodded.

Carole said, “You know how to enjoy.”

Yang Dao did not comment on it and said, “You better not play this game with me. What I do is my own business. Not even the special forces can question me. Did you not see my recruitment form?”

His sharp words made Carole fall silent. What he said was indeed true. He would be asked to do three tasks in a span of a year. Tony found that the vibe was too ambiguous. He asked, “Dao, how are we going to track?”

Yang Dao nodded and said, “When did the people infiltrate our borders?”

Carole said, “Two days ago.”

The boy nodded and, after some clicks, he displayed some video files. The desktop was a fifty-one-inch big screen in front of him. The screen was split up into multiple screens. Yang Dao said, “These are the video logs of the border monitoring parameter. If we can spot the infiltrators, then we can run their faces and physical stature through automated recognition software.”

The two people nodded and trained their gazes on the monitor. After a few minutes, Carole pointed at a split-screen and said, “Pause the footage.”

Yang Dao pressed the space bar on the keyboard once and the footage stopped. Carole said, “Rewind by three seconds.”

The boy nodded and reminded the footage of three seconds. Tony leaned in and squinted his eyes. He said, “Um, why are we looking at this?”

Yang Dao said, “This is the place where they infiltrated from.”

Tony scratched his head and asked, “How do you know?”

Carole said, “You sure you know what we are dealing with? Also, how did you pass the final test?” her tone was sincere and questioning.

Yang Dao said, “Stop bickering, move on.” his voice was somber, and the people had no other way than to calm down all of a sudden.

Carole said, “Do you see these patches?” she circled out a patch of black on the seemingly dark square.

Tony did not understand it even now. Yang Dao sighed and played the video frame by frame. The black patch moved and for a frame, it became a shape of the human body. The boy said, “This vague outline is that Hyper human, traveling in the curtain of the dark. “

Carole nodded, Tony asked, “How will you find them now?”

Yang Dao smirked and checked the video logs of the whole nation for the locations where the video log was missing from yesterday’s recordings. He spotted one such place, and that was the expressway of the Jade City.

He said, “We go to the section of the road from where the footage is missing or we continue searching.”

Carole did not even think twice and said, “Missing coverage means that some have taken action and it has already been dealt with, we need to continue looking for.”

Yang Dao thought for a bit and picked up his phone. The number he dialed was Atsuji Kurogame’s. The call collected and the old man on the other side said, ‘Hello, young master. Is there something important?”

Yang Dao was not polite and said, ‘Elder, I need the pictures of the assailants dealt by the special forces on the expressway.”

Atsuji Kurogame asked calmly, “Why the sudden interest? Wait, are you assigned to be on standby?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

Yang Dao replied, “Yup, we are looking for it.”

Atsuji sighed and said, “Okay, I will give you the description, but be careful. These guys are not simple. Xiao Bai has one member injured and is now in the infirmary.”

Yang Dao asked in concern, “Anything serious?”

Atsuji Kurogame sighed and said, “Lin broke her hand, communicated fracture. Xiaobai, stabilized her now just the basic attention and aftercare will do.”

Yang Dao nodded and said, “Okay, I will visit them after the situation is wrapped up.”

Atsuji Kurogame gave him a few more words of advice and then he sent him a digital file containing the details he asked for. Yang Dao immediately fed the details to the system and then RALF became active. The boy then asked the two people to come outside and have dinner before they continue.

The people had no problems. After all, you can not fight wars on an empty stomach. Lisa served the food with grace. Carole looked at the girl with interest, but the latter party had no interest in indulging with people.

Yang Dao had just made the basic introduction and nothing more. The three people completed the meal and returned to the study room. The flaw in all these hyper humans was that they all had a similar physique. RALF had the power to hack into all the mobile phones in the country, and it did so. It scanned all the current images and filtered out the ones similar to the one it was provided with.

RALF did not store any images that were not useful to itself. After the results were filtered, Yang Dao and the people found themselves, six men. These men all had one thing in common, they were split into teams of three. One member had a weird eye, no pupils, but more like a camera. Yang Dao was shocked to see this. The reason he was shocked was to see that these people were moving in one direction.

The predicted route was for the house of Frieda Foster. The designer of the robots in Dao Technologies. Yang Dao did not wait and called Feng Yun. The call connected, and he asked, “Do we have shadow guards deployed around Frieda Foster?”

Feng Yun replied with a furrowed brow, “I only had them posted around the scientists. What happened?”

The boy told her about the situation and Feng Yun was about to act. Yang Dao said, “This time it is a test for me. You cannot act on my behalf always.”

With that said, the call was disconnected and Yang Dao said, “Do you guys have your gear? We need to act. They have six people. According to the special forces deployment list, all the main teams are out of town. Even if they all come back, it will take them two hours to get to the target. We have no other way to deal with this. But I am telling you, they are six Hyper humans.”

Carole said, “Who are you trying to scare? Let’s go.” she was very excited.

Tony said, “Give me a gun.”

Yang Dao nodded and went to the sidewall. He pushed an inconspicuous tile on the wall and a mechanical panel popped up. The panel slid to the side and revealed a lot of guns and kevlar sets inside. The boy said, “Pick yourself, I have my own.”

Tony and Carole exchanged a glance, and they picked up a set of guns and armor. This was done in the house by Ryu Jinshi before he went to complete an assignment. Feng Yun had told him in detail the things Ryu had done. Yang Dao came inside his room and said, “Bow come.”

The void split and a white and black bow appeared in front of him. It was the same bow he used in the duel with the Dark King Seid. Laohu Bai gave this to him after the duel and then told him the trick to summon this weapon.

Yang Dao changed into a set of black jackets and jeans. he placed his two silver death stars inside the underarm holster. The boy connected the mobile phone with Bluetooth earphones and walked out of the room. He glanced at Sushi and said, “You are coming with me tonight Sushi.”

The tiny girl flew up from the leopard’s fur and landed on his shoulders. He told Lisa that he was going out on an assignment and will come later. The bow was tied on his back. Carole and Tony also walked out dressed in armors. Yang Dao said, “You guys use the car, I will take the point on the bike.”

The two nodded, and the trio left home to rescue.

…

Tony chose a big SUV, Carole on the driving seat made a call to the headquarters, and said, “The special Squad is taking action, assailants spotted near Trivia avenue. ETA thirty minutes. Please have the roads blocked.”

The command center immediately became active. The special squad was a group of three kids, Yang Dao being a level four while the other two being level three strong. Tonight was going to be action-packed.
