28 Delicate Plan (1/2)

The distant sound of a whistle woke me up from my dreams. I looked at the starry sky up above me and woke up with a jolt.

'Shit! I slept for too long.' I cursed at myself and started folding the thin blanket I was sleeping on.

In the afternoon, after Rahul had a stern talk with me, I had been in a strange state of mind. Thus I had come to the top of this building and slept.

But neither Rahul nor Neha knew that I was here, so they obviously could not come and wake me up. Thus I had slept till now.

'Haa! They must be worried about me.' I thought but then I heard that whistle sound once again and my thought stopped at once.

This time the whistle came from a different direction.

'Why the hell are people blowing whistles at night.' I switched on my Night Vision and zoomed in to find the culprit.

In the eastern end of the town, there was a man who standing on top of a building. He had a whistle in his hands and was currently looking at big black board place beside him.

'What's is doing?' I thought but before long, I saw a dot of light appear three time simultaneously in the black board.

The man looked at the lights and then turned around to blow the whistle. This time, the sound was of a much higher intensity and I could hear some faint movements on the streets.

I looked down for a moment and was shocked at the sight in front of me.

The horde of Abnormals below me were moving at a slow pace toward the whistle sound. Just that after a few seconds, when they still couldn't find the source, they stopped.

After a while, the excitement in the abnormals died down as well.

Just at that moment, another whistle sound came from the northern end part of the town.

I looked in direction with my Night Vision ability and realized that a man was standing there with a whistle in his hand. And there was a black board beside him as well. But…

'That man… Why does he look so familiar.' I thought then I looked at the abnormals below me move toward his direction for a few seconds before coming to a stop once again.

Looking at the movements made by these Abnormals, an absurd idea came to my mind.

'Aren't those guys luring this group of Abnormals.'

This thought was really absurd as I had never seen anyone lure out such a large group of abnormals.

The reason was simple.

Although Abnormals were fools, when in a group, they became dangerous fools.

If you try to lure out such a bit group of abnormals then if even one of them got anxious and started shrieking, it'll awaken the whole abnormal horde.

After awakening, the horde will go in a state of alertness and mindlessly attack whatever catches their attention.

If that happens, then forget about luring the abnormals, even saving your life might turn out to be difficult. Even a three storey building won't be enough to save their lives then.

So luring out such a large group was a very delicate task. It would require a high amount of knowledge regarding abnormals and a ton of experience.

And I can only think of one person who was capable of doing such a thing.

I looked at the tallest building in middle of the town and just as I had expected.

I could see Rahul standing there calmly, as he observed the movement of the abnormals.

There was not even a trace of worry in his face as he saw the thousand abnormals down below.

There was some sort of tool in his which he then used to point a laser beam at the blackboards of the people waiting in different parts of the town.

This time he was pointed the laser in the western direction and I looked in direction as well but…

'Isn't that Neha.' It was indeed Neha and she was currently standing with a whistle and a large blackboard as well.

After she got the signal from Rahul, she blew the whistle.

The Abnormals down on the streets were a bit curious and went a bit forward but when the did not find anything, they stopped and went around imitating human actions.

This continued on a long time and I watched as the abnormals slowly started spreading in the streets in different parts of the town.

I looked at the fields outside of the town and realized the the abnormals there had not moved even a bit.

'The sound of the whistles was only loud enough to reach the end of the town.' I realized this fact and marvelled how Big bro found these whistles.

'Did he bought them for the Black Watch?' I asked Lily.

'No. There is no such things in the Black Watch.' Lily replied. Though her voice was a bit gloomy.

'It seems like she's distressed about the fact that the Black Watch does not have something of such great value.' I thought.

'What did you say?'

'Nothing.' I quickly said.

But after some thinking, I understood that it was not the whistles that were valuable.

No other person could have done the same thing even if he had the same whistles and the same opportunity.

'It seems like your brother wants to divide the thousand or so abnormals in the whole town.' Lily.

'Yes.' I said 'Although this number does indeed sound quite big, once they spread throughout the whole town, they'll be divided. Awakening the horde is the only thing that keeps us from attacking the abnormals. But if they're divided, then it'll be far easier for us to kill them a few at a time without the fear of awakening the horde.'

'Indeed. This is a good strategy.' Lily said. 'But it is very time consuming as well. Not to mention that a single mistake will destroy the whole plan.'

'Yeah. I understand that much as well.' I said and looked at the abnormals down below. They were moving at a slow pace once in a while, then stopping for a minute or so, until all their excitement died down. Then they walked a bit more in another direction before stopping for a minute or so.

'This is a very time consuming process.' Lily said. 'I don't think you'll see any significant result till midnight.'

'Yes. I understand that much as well.' I said with a fierce look in my eyes. 'But once we've divided them thoroughly, we would not face many problems in killing them and collecting their crystals.'

'Although we would need to be cautious, I can smell a large profit coming our way after this plan is complete.' I thought and wore my bag on the back.

'And where are you going?' Lily asked.

'To big bro of course. He might have a mission for me.' I then jumped from building to building and finally reached the tall building Rahul was standing on.

When I climbed to the top, he was still observing the abnormals down on the streets with his back facing toward me.

But I knew that he was aware of his presence. Otherwise he would never leave his back open like this to any other intruder.

”So you know that you to have come back as well.” Rahul feigned anger as he glanced at me for a moment.

After that, he turned to give signals to the person standing on the northern end.

I looked at that person once again and suddenly remembered who he was.

'Wait! Isn't that Raka?' I thought 'What the hell is he doing here?'

'Isn't it simple.' Lily said 'He is following your brother's orders.'

'But… why would he do that?'

'Why don't you ask your brother yourself?' Lily said in a tone that implied that she had no interest in talking about this subject.

'Well… It's not really all that important.' I thought then went to stand beside Rahul.

”I slept a bit late.” I said. 'It was not an excuse ah. Please don't think so.'
