Although he was almost clueless, Zhang Xiao was not confused and he was very organized.

Before leaving the hospital, he went to the bathroom to clean up the blood. In order to avoid trouble, he asked someone to "borrow" a coat to cover the wound on his shoulders.

This is a good idea, which makes him walk out of the hospital without much effort...oh, maybe it is because most of the people in the hospital have their hands on the rooftop.

After walking out of the hospital with a little bowed his head and no one aroused anyone's suspicion. It was a rare success recently.

But he didn't walk very far. After crossing the road, he stopped after walking a few hundred meters along the street.

"Oh, that's good."

Zhang Xiao looked up at a shop on the street. The obvious signboard and the fragrant coffee smell were obviously a coffee shop on the street, which was suitable for ordering a cup of coffee to make some leisure time.

Then, he turned around and looked at the place where he came - the hospital gate was still clearly visible.

"Yeah, it's really good."

The coffee booth is both hidden, unobtrusive and has a good view. It is a rare and good location, especially for what Zhang Xiao is going to do.

Zhang Xiao stopped and watched for a while, as if confirming the style of the cafe. Then, he walked into the cafe with a satisfied smile and sat down.

Although he didn't have a penny, Zhang Xiao looked too confident. Naturally, even if he broke his hand, he was still a successful person. This made the waiters "wisely" not ask about his payment ability.

Zhang Xiao maintained this style, like a rich man resting leisurely, ordering a cup of coffee, picking a quiet booth to sit down, and looking like he was ready to spend the afternoon leisurely here.

It is such a comfortable and leisurely lifestyle, and the only customers in the cafe are welcomed by the waiter's unconscious envy.

However, they didn't show up. The seats that Zhang Xiao seemed to choose casually are not only quiet, but also a bit wonderful.

He was not at the main entrance, nor was he sitting directly facing the hospital, but facing the road, sitting behind a decorative flower bed, and when he leaned on a chair, he was almost completely hidden in the clusters of flowers surrounding the cafe.

This location is really clever. Unless you are in this cafe, you can't see Zhang Xiao clearly from any angle. At most, you can only see his back or the back of your head.

Of course, from Zhang Xiao’s perspective, you can clearly see the hospital gate from the branches and leaves.

The reason why he chose such a position was obviously to facilitate surveillance.

Monitor the only exit of the hospital - the hospital gate.

This is his plan.

Although Zhang Xiao didn't know who the enemy was hiding behind the strange snake, he believed that the guy must be hiding in the hospital.

This is not a baseless intuition, but some of the messages you get after killing the monster snake three times... are not news.

In the first dream of a deserted island, the strange snake was surprised, but it was too weak. Compared with the deserted island, the strange snake on the helicopter was more fierce and sensitive; compared with the strange snake on the helicopter, the strange snake on the hospital was more intelligent and motivated.

It is not difficult to see from it. Step by step, the strange snake is gradually becoming stronger and in all aspects.

Zhang Xiao did not think it was the beginning of the strange snake showing his enemy as weak, so there must be other reasons.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiao gradually made some guesses from the manifestation of the strange snake's dream, from the flashing of its bad signal, from the nature of its dream creature, from the point of view that it may be a substitute.

——The change of this monster is probably because it is close to the origin, the signal base station, its true body... the substitute messenger.

That is the owner of the strange snake, the real origin of the strange snake.

So Zhang Xiao was sure that the enemy hiding behind the strange snake must be in the hospital.

"Then let me see who you are, or..."

Zhang Xiao smiled in a low voice, picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee. The bitter taste of black coffee invaded between his lips and teeth, making people frown unconsciously, but he showed a smile.

...

In a blink of an eye, the sunset appeared in the sky again. The red light covered all the clouds and the orange-red clouds, dyeing the entire city into warm colors.

Zhang Xiao turned his head slightly and looked at the sunset in the sky. For some reason, the beautiful sunset always had a bit of bloody cruelty in his eyes.

"I have always seen this scene these days, rising sun and setting sun, coming and going, as if there is only one moment in the day."

Whispering his ignorant mood, Zhang Xiao's eyes turned back to the hospital gate between the branches and leaves.

"Are there any targets that appear? It's true that they are hidden in the hospital?"

Almost all day long, there were so many people coming in and out, but Zhang Xiao did not find his goal at all.

Although the helicopter crash, massacre on a certain floor of the main building of the hospital made the hospital particularly busy today, and the abortion of people entering and leaving several times, the police and Self-Defense Forces came and went, and there were even media reporters, Zhang Xiao was still convinced that the guy hiding behind the strange snake still did not appear.

"Two possibilities, either he could hide it from me in and out of the hospital."

After saying that, Zhang Xiao shook his head, not thinking that this possibility was high.

It's not because he's conceited, but it's really a little bit low.

He groped for the ghost-headed knife on his legs. The thick blade made him feel a slight tingling pain in his fingertips, just like his head that was pricked by his mental power at all times.

But when he gets used to it, he doesn't care and can even become a better alarm - this makes his mental sense extremely sensitive.

Combined with his eyes, Zhang Xiao did not believe that the guy was able to hide his figure completely like a strange snake and escape his surveillance.

You know, he didn't sense the breath of the strange snake at all and left the hospital gate.

Then rule out the first possibility.

“…or, he is still hiding in the hospital.”

Zhang Xiao lightly lit the table with rhythmic tempo, "du", "du", and "du", and it was neither too fast nor too slow, and that way, it seemed as if he had expected this.

In fact, Zhang Xiao did have some speculations about this, and one or two of them can be seen from that guy's substitute, the monster snake.

A substitute is an extension of human will and an embodiment of the soul, but its form is not a single one. It is no exaggeration to say that it is ever-changing and all-encompassing.

However, there are still some rules, such as JoJo, dIo, and most of the main supporting roles in the original work. Their substitute abilities are to awaken their own essence and the strongest side of their souls.

But many times, in addition to awakening one's strongest side, one may also gain the soul that one lacks.

This is a kind of complementarity and a choice. It is not a better one. It can only be said to vary from person to person.

And the guy who awakens an extreme substitute like the Transparent Snake is likely to represent his flaws.

"Nearly perfect immortality represents fear of death; the ability to hide completely means living in a place of surveillance; reversing the reality of dreams is dissatisfaction with reality..."

In my mind, Zhang Xiao seemed to be able to see the hidden guy, and even outlined a hazy image.

That was a ghost-like person who hid his nature like a hibernating snake, but his sharp teeth that could not be hidden revealed his true face... This is a monster like a snake.

"Oh……"

As time gradually approached, the hospital gate gradually closed, leaving only the small door for emergency room to enter and exit, Zhang Xiao smiled again.

He picked up the black coffee that had already cooled off on the table and drank it all, "It's time for prey and hunters to change."
