I'm really disappointed in myself.
Wang Tao slumped on the sofa.
His willpower right now was quite low.
Back in the military, he was a warlord on the battlefield, ranked in the top ten in international special forces competitions. He was confident and somewhat arrogant. He took pride in his glory and believed firmly that he could shine in the outside world as well.
But reality dealt him a heavy blow.
Here, in the Global Manhunt program, as a pursuer, he had an absolute advantage but was still being toyed with by a young graduate. He had been manipulated to the point that if the other party hadn't voluntarily revealed himself, Wang Tao might not have even realized it.
And this wasn't a one-time occurrence. It happened repeatedly, a series of blows that had shattered Wang Tao's pride and self-confidence.
He felt that he had let down not only his pursuer subordinates but also the other pursuers sitting here and advising him.
Inside the command center, Wang Tao's words weighed heavily on the other four pursuers as well.
They were all elites from various fields, each one a true standout in society, having witnessed and experienced a variety of things, including the ups and downs of life.
But now, it seemed like everyone was somewhat helpless.
A young man, just out of school and younger than they were by who knows how many years, had devastated them all. Even Bingbing, who was experiencing her first time hosting the Global Manhunt program, was somewhat at a loss.
She knew from watching the first two seasons that the fugitives were at an absolute disadvantage. Faced with the pursuit of the pursuers, they had little resistance.
This was evident from the fact that over half of the fugitives had already been caught.
But when it came to Su Yu, all methods seemed to fail against him. He always managed to astound everyone with his own ideas and actions, leaving effortlessly.
It was unbelievable!
Inside the command center, the atmosphere remained heavy. After a while, Zhang Mingshan patted Wang Tao on the shoulder.
"It's okay, Wang Tao. You've done very well. It's just that the guy we're dealing with is too formidable."
Zhang Mingshan smiled.
But Wang Tao remained silent.
"Zhang Teacher, do you think we can catch that guy?" Wang Tao asked.
"Can we? Why not?! As long as he's human, he'll make mistakes eventually! And we're just waiting for him to make that mistake and then hit him with full force!"
Zhang Mingshan's voice suddenly became passionate.
Hearing this, everyone in the room looked at Zhang Mingshan, and his expression was resolute.
"Susu can escape for now, but as long as we persist, he can't keep running forever!"
"Don't forget, we have an absolute advantage in terms of power, and as long as we persist, nothing is impossible!"
Zhang Mingshan encouraged everyone.
Zhao Wanqing nodded and smiled.
"Zhang Teacher is right. As long as they're human, there will always be a time when they get caught. Moreover, it's only been four days since the show started. There are plenty of opportunities to catch him. We absolutely can't let him affect our mindset. Otherwise, when that time comes, we'll be the real losers!"
As a psychology professor, Zhao Wanqing's words were infectious, and everyone's spirits clearly improved.
Even Wang Tao's eyes sharpened once again.
"You're right! We must pick ourselves up from where we fall. It's a disgrace for each day we don't catch this guy!"
Wang Tao recalled the mindset he had cultivated back when he was in the military.
Seeing this, Bingbing smiled.
"It looks like everyone is feeling better now. I was really scared just now. Not abandoning and not giving up, that's the right attitude."
"Yes, Bingbing is right, not abandoning and not giving up."
Zhang Mingshan smiled and nodded vigorously.
Everyone's faces once again wore smiles.
Wang Tao was the first to speak up.
"So, what's our next move?"
"Our next move is to analyze how Su Yu managed to escape. We still don't know how he got out of the mall and how he managed to impersonate a teacher and leave the school."
Zai Haiming, behind his glasses, flashed a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"So far, we still don't know how he managed to escape from the mall and leave the school after impersonating a teacher."
"Yes, we should start by analyzing."
Zhang Mingshan also nodded.
Soon, the five of them got busy.
Zhang Mingshan and Zai Haiming were responsible for analyzing the clues, while Li Kai and Zhao Wanqing reviewed the previous surveillance footage. Wang Tao recalled his memories and provided clues.
In this situation, Su Yu's complete escape route was reconstructed.
Twenty minutes later.
The five of them looked at the escape route that had been reconstructed on the blackboard with a hint of astonishment.
It was written clearly on the blackboard.
Su Yu was in the mall, purchased cosmetics, and then entered the restroom to complete his disguise. Then, right in front of Wang Tao, he strolled out of the mall as if it were nothing.
The same thing happened at the school.
Su Yu rapidly completed his disguise in the school restroom and then used his own methods to impersonate a substitute teacher before leaving the school.
Everything seemed extremely simple, but the train of thought behind it exceeded everyone's imagination.
No one had expected that Su Yu would escape using this method.
And he succeeded!
"Damn, this guy is too cunning!"
Wang Tao clenched his fists angrily.
Zhang Mingshan's expression also turned serious.
"Su Yu is indeed very formidable," Zhang Mingshan commented.
For Su Yu to receive such an evaluation from Police Inspector Zhang, it was evident just how terrifying he was.
Remember, Zhang Mingshan had been a police inspector for twenty years. What kind of cases hadn't he seen?
Yet, this was the first time he had encountered such a method as Su Yu's!
The audacity of the entire process, the strength of his mental fortitude, and the professionalism of his methods were truly astonishing.
"However, this also means we have gained valuable experience," Zai Haiming said with a smile as he pushed up his glasses.
"A person's energy is limited. Su Yu has already displayed many amazing talents. And how old is he? In his early twenties? To have so many extraordinary abilities is truly extraordinary."
"But no matter how talented a person is, individual capabilities are limited. His methods might be running out!" Zai Haiming added.
This statement garnered the agreement of everyone in the room.
A person's energy is limited, and even the most talented genius will eventually run out of tricks.
Now, it seemed that Su
Yu's methods might be running out!
The five of them exchanged glances, all with smiles on their faces.
"So the next step is simple. We need to use the rules of the show to our advantage."
"What rules?" Wang Tao asked, looking at Zhang Mingshan.
Zhang Mingshan smiled knowingly.
"Don't forget, if all the fugitives under a pursuer are caught, that pursuer can go and assist other pursuers."
With this revelation, Wang Tao immediately became excited.
Indeed!
Many times, he had let Su Yu escape simply because he didn't have enough manpower.
Sometimes there just weren't enough people, and that's why he had let this guy get away!
With enough people, there was no way they couldn't find this guy!
"Good idea. How many fugitives do you all have left?"
"I have six," Zhang Mingshan said.
"I have eight," Zai Haiming said.
"I have nine," Zhao Wanqing chimed in.
"I have six," Li Kai added.
Hearing that even Li Kai had only six left, everyone looked at him with surprise.
But it was understandable. Li Kai could access the city's surveillance cameras, and once the other fugitives were caught on camera, their escape journeys usually ended.
Upon hearing everyone's numbers, Wang Tao nodded.
"I have ten left. During this time, we'll prioritize chasing other fugitives while also looking for clues about Su Yu."
"As soon as we find this guy... we'll launch a thunderous strike!"
Wang Tao's words made everyone nod.
Their target was now clear.
They would prioritize chasing down other fugitives, and once they concentrated their pursuit forces, they would unleash a thunderous strike on Su Yu!
They couldn't let this guy continue to run!
As the pursuit team had already decided their next course of action, in a villa on the outskirts of Donghai City...
"Change my appearance, steal the day. Let's begin."
Su Yu looked at the various materials in front of him and smiled faintly.
Then, he started making a human skin mask...
