631 The Abandoned One
Yarin’s POV:
I was really an idiot!
I was so annoyed that I wanted to punch myself a few times.
The garbage truck disappeared at the end of the street. I couldn’t care less about the looks of others, but it was long gone at the intersection.
This was a three-way intersection. I didn’t know which way the garbage truck went.
Seeing that the opportunity about to come to me had passed, my eyes heated up, and I almost cried.
A man shouldn’t cry easily, but the stimulation brought by the ups and downs was too much!
Fortunately, there weren’t many people on the street, so I didn’t lose too much face.
‘Chirp, chirp! Chirp, chirp!’
A sparrow suddenly landed on me as I lifted the corner of my clothes to wipe my tears. This little thing pecked at my hair very naturally. It didn’t hurt, but it was a little ticklish.
“Go, go, little guy. I don’t have time to play with you. Go find some bugs to eat.” I waved it away and was about to leave. There were a total of three roads. At least I could smell which road had the most pungent garbage smell and choose the most likely one.
However, this sparrow was pestering me. No matter how I chased it away, it wouldn’t leave. It flew from my shoulder to a tree on the side of the road and back again, repeating two or three times.
I realized that something was off.
The sparrow was doing this to attract my attention.
I ran to the tree where the sparrow stopped. The sparrow chirped at me a few times and flew to a tree further away.
The two trees belonged to the green belt on the same street.
“Are you asking me to go with you?” I tried to run over, and the sparrow flew up and led the way for me at a distance.
It knew where the garbage truck was going!
I followed it without hesitation because I knew what was going on. Heller must have manipulated some sparrows to monitor the movement of the Silver Moon Pack and guide me at the critical moment.
He could control the minds of humans, so he could naturally control the minds of some animals. However, not all animals could be controlled. Some seemingly weak animals were more powerful than werewolves. Heller often practiced this skill before, especially with sparrows.
I followed the sparrow and ran all the way. Finally, at a traffic light intersection, I bumped into a garbage truck filled with garbage and criminals.
While it was waiting for the traffic light, I sneaked under the car. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝑡
The cleaner finally removed his headphones in the driver’s seat, but the car’s audio system still played loud music. I was sure that he didn’t notice anything happening in the car.
The garbage compartment was semi-enclosed. I saw the familiar ‘cleaner’ on the phone through the gap. He was very irritable as he whispered something to the person on the other end of the phone. It sounded like he was dissatisfied with the Lily of the Valley’s disregard for his situation.
“Do you think you can get anything out of me being caught?
“You don’t understand what kind of strange tricks these beasts have. Even if I can survive the interrogation, I can’t resist them searching my brain! The hidden posts had been pulled out. They must have told them everything they knew. Otherwise, why would there be so many police officers around the strongholds?”
I didn’t know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but he became even more anxious. “Cut the crap. I won’t be able to wait until the day the higher-ups notify me! I’m heading to the garbage disposal plant. Tell them to send someone to pick me up, do you hear me? Otherwise, I will cut off your tongue and stuff it into your ass!”
He angrily threw the phone, and it fell on the garbage mountain.
Looking at this scene, I fell into deep thought.
So these criminals weren’t as united as one? At the very least, only some were important to the Lily of the Valley. For example, this person seemed about to be abandoned, so he was hurrying to escape, and I bumped into him.
I returned to the car and called the sparrow preening at the front of the car. “Heller, are you listening? I found the terrorist. He’s heading to the garbage disposal plant in the suburbs, which seems to have become the secret base of the Lily of the Valley. I’m afraid there will be more criminals there. There is no need to worry about keeping it a secret. Hurry up and inform Mom and Dad to send someone to catch them red-handed. Don’t miss this opportunity!”
The little sparrow couldn’t talk, so it called out twice in response to me.
I noticed that more sparrows flew to the garbage truck. They were the helpers that Heller gave me. They were the spies hiding in the nature to help me take action.
“Thanks, Heller!” I scratched the little sparrow’s head and continued to monitor the criminal.
About half an hour later, I could already see the towering chimney of the garbage disposal plant from afar.
The closer we got to that place, the more irritable the criminal became. I even saw him take out the pistol hidden in his pocket and load it.
Perhaps he feared alerting the police, so he let go of the cleaner. Perhaps he couldn’t count on a fugitive on the verge of collapse to have any rationality. In any case, the innocent cleaner’s life was in danger.
I couldn’t let him stumble onto the criminal hiding in the carriage as soon as he exited the vehicle. I had to create some ‘space’ for the criminal so that he could leave without alerting anyone.
So when the car stopped, I instructed the sparrows to peck at the cleaner’s hair. He was shocked and dodged and chased the sparrow away. The criminal took the opportunity to run away quietly.
