Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

After the waiter finished speaking, he met Gu Tongwan's cold eyes, and then he felt that he might be in a hurry to sell a defective product, which made him a little embarrassed, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Gu Tongwan was about to politely decline, but she saw the Mo Falcon in the glass cabinet suddenly open its eyes and stare at her.

The black falcon's eyes were a beautiful scarlet red, in contrast to its pitch-black feathers. However, this was different from the mutated black falcon she had seen in the black market before. The eyes of the black falcon in the black market at that time were clearly normal black.

Seeing that she didn't refuse immediately and that she was staring at the black falcon, the clerk whispered, "I don't know if this black falcon is sick. On the third day after we brought it back to the store, strange red spots appeared in its eyes. The color got darker every day. But we sent it to the veterinarian for an examination and they didn't find any symptoms or infection. We confirmed that the black falcon didn't carry any virus. This might be an eye lesion caused by illness. It has no effect on humans and is not contagious."

Those red eyes were indeed magical, and they just kept staring at Gu Tongwan.

At this moment, Gu Tongwan suddenly had a bold guess. Could it be that this black falcon was a mutant creature with intelligence?

Although the IQ of mutant creatures is higher than that of ordinary creatures, they are still just animals after all. Their IQ certainly cannot crush that of humans. Moreover, the IQ of birds is generally lower than that of mammals. But the pair of eyes in front of her were staring at her, as if they could completely understand the conversation between her and the clerk.

Gu Tongwan frowned slightly, because she was not sure whether this was her illusion or a coincidence, so she just stood there and continued to watch.

The clerk felt a little disappointed when he saw that she had no intention of continuing the conversation. After all, it would be great if he could ask for the contact information of such a beautiful girl.

Maybe there were more mutants upstairs, but the people on the first floor also ran up to the second floor. Gu Tongwan was alone at the moment, so she held her breath and tapped the glass cabinet a few times with her knuckles. She said softly, "I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying. If you want me to save you, or if you don't want to stay here any longer, just hit the glass cabinet twice in response. If you don't, just treat it as me talking to myself."

About two minutes passed after the words were spoken, but there was no reaction from the black falcon. Its ruby-red eyes rolled slowly only because of the occasional noise outside.

"It seems that I thought too much. I thought this black falcon was really special." Gu Tongwan sneered to herself, and then planned to go upstairs to take a look. Unexpectedly, the moment she turned her head, two crisp sounds of knocking on the glass made her startled.

She quickly turned her head to look at the glass cabinet. The black falcon had spread its wings, its red eyes still staring at her, and its long and pointed beak was gently tapping on the glass cabinet, not more, not less, just twice.

"Do you really understand? Okay, to prove that I'm right, knock three times, two quick knocks followed by one short knock." She explained while demonstrating two long and one short knocks on the glass with her fingers.

This time she didn't have to wait too long, as the black falcon immediately used its sharp beak to hit the glass, making two long and one short sounds.

This made Gu Tongwan completely convinced that this black falcon was extraordinary. It could really understand human commands, and its IQ was even not inferior to that of the two dogs at home.

But can a mutant beast of only F level really fully understand human language or instructions?

Even though she had many questions in her mind, she had already made up her mind to buy this special black falcon!

Gu Tongwan bargained for a while and finally bought the black falcon for 1,200 points. Seeing the clerk's happy look, she suddenly felt that this was all a trick of the merchants. She could probably cut the price down by at least half. After all, the clerk's expression was obviously relieved after confirming that she wanted to buy it.

The black falcon was finally put into an iron cage and covered with black velvet. At first glance, it looked like she was walking the bird with the cage.

I don’t know if it was because it was a defective product, but the store did not give her the high-tech collar.

She casually asked about the price. Wow, just a collar cost 1,500 points, which was more than the value of her black falcon.

Just when Gu Tongwan was about to go upstairs, he suddenly discovered that Lele, who had been standing by the fish tank, was gone. This immediately made Gu Tongwan's heart tremble.

But she quickly calmed down. Lele had been in the store the whole time. If someone had taken him away by force, he would have screamed or struggled, but these situations did not happen in the store, which meant that Lele left on his own or was lured away by someone.

No matter which possibility it is, the most urgent task now is to find Lele. After all, she was the one who brought the child out, so she has to be responsible for this matter.

The first person she found was the store clerk, and she immediately asked him to help check the surveillance. Then she ran to the second floor to check, and when she found that Lele was not there, she hurried downstairs. As a result, she happened to see the store clerk she had asked for help before was about to go upstairs.

"Ms. Gu, the surveillance camera found the person. It was a woman who took the man away." The clerk immediately took her to the surveillance room.

As a result, the surveillance footage showed that just ten minutes ago, Lele, who was still lying in front of the fish tank with great interest, was approached by a woman in a black coat and a mask.

The woman was wearing a down hat and a mask that completely covered her face, as if she was deliberately trying to hide her features from others.

In the picture, the woman first patted Lele's shoulder, then squatted down and said something to Lele. Lele looked at the woman in confusion, but as the woman took out an exquisite toy from her pocket, which was a red Ultraman about the size of a palm, she seemed to know very well what children of this age like.

Being able to know the child's interests so accurately, and locking onto the target from the moment he entered the store, and even talking to him in a familiar manner, it is very likely that the woman knows Lele's situation very well, and may even know Lele, because when the woman took Lele away later, she took Lele's hand actively. Although Lele hesitated for a moment, he may have been unable to resist the temptation or he may have been bewitched.

Bewitched?

Gu Tongwan immediately thought of something, so he turned his head and looked at the clerk: "Can you enlarge the picture here a little more?"

"Sure." The clerk moved quickly and adjusted the screen with the mouse. After a while, the screen was enlarged at least three times. At this moment, it was clear that the woman seemed to raise her head for a moment and stared straight into Lele's eyes, and Lele's originally curious eyes suddenly became dull.

"This……"

At this time, the clerk and the staff responsible for watching the surveillance were a little surprised, because they clearly noticed the abnormality in Lele's reactions before and after.

"Psychic."

Gu Tongwan said calmly, and soon understood why Lele was willing to follow the woman obediently. Children have weaker willpower than adults, so they can be easily bewitched by the other party without knowing it.

Although it was only a brief moment, Gu Tongwan found that the woman's profile looked familiar, so he began to desperately go over the faces of all the women he might have seen in his mind.

"Xiao Peng, if you act naughty again, I won't bring you out next time!"

Outside the door, a young mother was scolding her four or five-year-old son. The mother seemed very angry, with her hands on her hips and a look of indignation on her face.

I don’t know if it was because of the mother’s angry look that a scene flashed through her mind. It was the woman who was crying and wailing while holding her child at the door diagonally opposite two days ago!

That’s right, it’s that woman. Not only her profile, but also her long hair and figure are extremely similar.

I heard that Lele often played nearby in the past two days. Although he stayed indoors most of the time, Yu Chang also took Lele to greet many store owners in the neighborhood. After all, they would be doing business on the same street in the future, so it was necessary to meet each other and get to know each other.

I heard from Yu Chang that Lele likes to play with the child across the street. Although the child is only two or three years old, he can speak very early and can even chat with adults alone. Every time Lele comes back, he will mention how smart the younger brother across the street is.

Thinking of this, Gu Tongwan's face immediately darkened, and the clerk next to him looked nervous. After all, the person disappeared in their store, so their store would have some responsibility.

"Or I'll go to the Security Bureau to call the police. The Self-Defense Force is just in the block ahead, and it shouldn't take more than half an hour for them to arrive." The clerk said and ran out.

After coming out of the monitoring room, Gu Tongwan did not leave the store immediately. He stood there for a while before deciding to go to the private detective agency he had visited before, perhaps he could get some clues about the woman from there.

However, just as she went out, she suddenly felt a slight noise coming from the cage in her hand. This made Gu Tongwan feel a little strange. Why did a quiet black falcon suddenly behave abnormally?

When she opened the black velvet covering the cage, the black falcon's red eyes seemed brighter than before. She even suspected that red liquid would seep out of it.

But before she could think too much, the black falcon hit the iron cage with its beak again without any warning, and in the same direction.

South?

In order to confirm his guess, Gu Tongwan turned the iron cage in one direction, but he didn't expect that the black falcon turned its head around and continued to knock towards the south.

Could it be that this black falcon had sensed something and was hinting at itself in this way?

When she was in the monitoring room just now, she was holding the Mo Falcon in her hand. There was no velvet cloth covering her at that time. The Mo Falcon was staring at the surveillance video screen. That is to say, at that time, the Mo Falcon saw the whole scene of Lele being taken away just like them.

"You mean, Lele was taken away in the south?" Gu Tongwan raised her eyebrows. She really couldn't be completely convinced. After all, this matter was too ridiculous no matter how she thought about it.

Mo Falcon probably sensed her doubt, his dark pupils suddenly widened, and then he struck even harder.

"You want me to believe you?" Gu Tongwan asked softly.

As a result, Mo Falcon did not knock this time. Instead, he stopped and rolled his eyes.

It was indeed strange to see such an expression on a bird. She almost suspected that the black falcon would roll its eyes at her.

Even a normal black falcon is only a C-level mutant beast. Can it understand human language at this level?

The most important thing right now is to find Lele as soon as possible.

Gu Tongwan hesitated for a moment and finally looked towards the south.

About a kilometer away from the pet shop, the woman took off her hat and gasped for breath.

A man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks on the opposite side chuckled and said, "The goods this time are good. This kid looks white and fat, so he must have a lot of blood on his body."

The woman frowned and said, "We agreed to draw one tube of blood. Don't draw too much. I have to send the person back later. Otherwise, if the store calls the police, we will be in trouble."

"What are you afraid of? When you take the child back, you can say that he insisted on going with you and you took him away because you couldn't persuade him. Anyway, the Self-Defense Forces won't investigate if he's fine."

"In short, you better act faster. The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for me. It will be troublesome if other people with special abilities get involved." The woman became annoyed.

The man sneered and then slowly opened a suitcase and took out a long syringe. In the suitcase were several reagent bottles filled with blood.

He and the woman belong to a group. They are responsible for finding children aged 6-12. Their main purpose is to conduct an important experiment. They first draw blood from these children, and then inject the latest medicine from the research institute into the children's bodies to mark them. After a period of time, they observe whether any changes occur in the children's bodies after the injection of the medicine.

"Tell me, we've been out for such a long time, is there really any child among these who can perfectly integrate the medicinal properties and finally successfully evolve into superpowers?" The woman frowned, totally unable to understand the organization's mission. After all, it was said that others had failed in the last mission.

How could the man not see what the woman was thinking, so he said, "It's hard to say. Last time the institute used people with special abilities to do the experiment, and this time they used children. Anyway, we are just carrying out the mission, so don't worry about other things. These are not what we should worry about. What we should worry about is whether we can complete so many in time. There are still twelve syringes. After this injection, we have to move to another area. We have to wait until the third batch of underground city residents move in before we can continue the operation, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion."

The woman nodded with a heavy face, and then watched the man walk towards Lele with a syringe in his hand.

Just when the needle was about to touch Lele's arm, Lele's originally dull face suddenly became lively. He suddenly raised his head and saw the strange man in front of him. He took a step back, then picked up the whistle hanging around his neck very quickly, and blew it with almost the strength he usually used when eating at home.

Suddenly, the whole building was filled with the sound of whistles, and the man and woman were obviously startled. The man in particular cursed, "Damn it! How could he cancel the hypnosis early?"
