Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Second-Order Mutant

The issue with the home visit was quite simple and was basically concluded within ten minutes.

However, at Ali’s strong request, He Xinmiao agreed to stay for dinner before leaving.

"Ali, why don’t you take Teacher Miaomiao for a tour around the house? I’ll head to the kitchen and ask them to prepare a couple more dishes."

"Okay, brother! Teacher Miaomiao, let’s go to the backyard, it’s really fun back there."

"Then I’ll trouble Ali to give me a tour."

After Ali took He Xinmiao away, Lu Xiao also got up and headed to the kitchen.

The two who went to beat the crows were carrying them to the kitchen and haven’t come out till now.

As soon as Lu Xiao entered the kitchen, he saw a table full of feathers.

As for the crow, it had turned golden and crispy, dripping oil on the roasting rack.

"Uh, folks, this thing doesn’t seem edible, right?" Lu Xiao said to several people in the kitchen.

"Why can’t it be eaten?"

"I used to roast them often in Liuli."

"Although the meat is a bit sour and astringent, how should I put it, it has a unique flavor."

"Lu Xiao, you should try it too, this thing is really energizing!" several people immediately refuted Lu Xiao’s belief that it shouldn’t be eaten.

Lu Xiao: ???

Is this what I meant by not edible?

I meant that it’s legally non-edible.

If I remember correctly, crows are protected animals in the country.

Eating protected wildlife is definitely a criminal offense.

"I’ll pass, I have enough energy already," Lu Xiao waved his hand, since it’s already roasted, you guys eat, I’ll stay out of it.

"Oh, and this crow, was it controlled by a ’Guardian Bird’ mutant?" Lu Xiao asked.

All nodded.

Otherwise why would we be hunting birds in broad daylight.

"Does that mean the mutant is nearby? I read in the brochure that ’Guardian Bird’ ability has a control range, the maximum won’t exceed two kilometers." Lu Xiao continued to inquire.

Several people looked at Lu Xiao with admiration in their eyes.

Lu Xiao really did his homework, even remembering such details clearly.

Worthy of being the future of the Seventeenth Bureau, indeed a young man valued by Liuli Hong.

"Correct, a First-tier Guardian Bird has a range of two hundred meters, Second Order five hundred meters, Third-tier eight hundred meters, Fourth Rank almost two kilometers."

"Aside from using distance to judge the opponent’s strength, you can also deduce from the state of the controlled object."

"From the enhancement of this crow, it seems that the opponent should be a Second-Order Mutant."

"So, we can deduce that the opponent was just within a five hundred meters radius around the house."

After listening to several people’s explanations, Lu Xiao also felt like he gained knowledge.

Every profession always benefits from having experienced elders.

"Alright, you guys continue eating the bird, I... have got something to do." After saying this, Lu Xiao ran out of the kitchen and then dialed Goo Yuexing’s phone.

Soon, the call connected.

"Director, could you do me a favor? Help me screen out surveillance within a five hundred meters radius around my house and send it to my email."

"Time? Between four to four-thirty."

"It takes an hour? Okay, I’ll wait for you."

In Lu Xiao’s view, instead of waiting passively, it’s better to take the initiative.

If the Mutant Organization is targeting him, then it’s only fair he strikes back.

...

"What is this kid up to now?" In the office of the Seventeenth Bureau’s director, Goo Yuexing couldn’t help but mutter after hanging up.

Why does he need surveillance within a five hundred meter radius of his house?

To find a mutant from the surveillance?

Isn’t that like looking for a needle in a haystack?

Five hundred meters, for a city area, is no small scope with its complex and numerous buildings.

A single camera can only capture so much area, the amount of footage from all cameras within a five hundred meters radius can be said to be massive.

At seven in the evening, Lu Xiao and Ali walked He Xinmiao out of the yard together.

"Ali, brother is going out for a bit, play by yourself for a while. If I come back late, you go to sleep first," Lu Xiao cautioned Ali.

"Okay, brother."

Although Ali was only six years old, having been nurtured in a mountain village to live independently, Ali’s self-care ability was absolutely top-notch.

Ten minutes later, Lu Xiao appeared at a coffee shop near the courtyard, went inside, found a seat, and ordered a coffee.

The coffee was rich, but Lu Xiao wasn’t in the mood to savor it; his gaze was fixed intently on a foreign woman in the corner.
