Chapter 521: Secrets
“Hello?”
“Qiye, I found the location of that ‘mysterious’ entity,” An Qingyu’s voice came through the phone, “It’s still wearing the clothes and hat taken from the theater, but it’s been moving towards crowded areas, blending in with a large crowd, making it hard to identify.”
“It exposed itself to the surveillance on purpose?”
“Exactly, and every time it passes by a camera, it looks up for a moment, probably to foresee our movements through its own forbidden domain.”
The 007 team seemed to have used some method to head straight towards that ‘mysterious’ entity from the start, but because it could predict the 007 team’s actions through road surveillance, they still haven’t caught up to it.
At that moment, Cao Yuan, who was sitting on the back of the Flame Pulse Earth Dragon, suddenly spoke up:
“It’s Qi Xiaoyu; her forbidden domain can sense life forms with high-intensity mental fluctuations, like a radar constantly tracking the opponent’s position.”
“But in front of the [Seeker], this radar is still ineffective,” An Qingyu replied.
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, “Since the [Seeker] can foresee the future through objects, rushing to chase it would definitely lead to it predicting our evasion in advance…
We need to find a way to avoid its foresight.”
Lin Qiye lowered his head, frowning in thought.
How to avoid its foresight?
By observing lifeless objects, foreseeing the future…
Lifeless objects…
After a long while, Lin Qiye seemed to have thought of something, his eyes gradually brightening.
“I got it.”
……
“The Dongtang Building has arrived.”
The taxi driver slowly stopped the car, took a sip of water from his thermos, and let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with fatigue.
“You’ve changed destinations four times in a row. I say, buddy, you haven’t run into any trouble, have you?” the driver couldn’t help but complain.
In the back seat, the man wearing a black top hat and a coat slightly raised his head to glance outside.
“It’s fine… just stop here.”
He reached out to open the car door and stepped out.
“Hey, wait!!” the driver quickly called out, “You haven’t paid yet! It’s three hundred and twenty in total, WeChat or Alipay?”
The man stood outside the car, silent for a moment.
“I didn’t bring any money.”
“???” The driver’s eyes widened, “Are you kidding me?”
He yanked the car door, wanting to get out and teach this man a lesson, but no matter how he pulled the handle, he couldn’t open the door, as if it were completely welded to the car body.
The man calmly tapped the glass with his cane and said:
“I didn’t bring any money, but I can save your life.
Next Tuesday, when you turn right at Hutang Bridge into the city, slow down a bit, especially watch out for large vehicles coming from the opposite direction. It’s fine if you don’t care about your own life, but there’s a pregnant woman in your car…”
After saying that, he lowered the brim of his hat, ignoring the driver’s reaction, and walked past the “Construction Zone” sign towards the high-rise building still under construction.
“Damn it, I ran into a lunatic!”
The driver tried several times to open the car door in frustration but failed. In anger, he slammed his hand on the horn, cursing as he spoke.
Beep—!!
The sudden horn startled a high school student walking along the roadside, head down, playing on his phone.
He glanced at the taxi, muttered something, and just as he turned back, he suddenly pulled his foot back.
In front of him was an open manhole without a cover.
“Damn, who’s so careless?”
The high school student broke out in a cold sweat; if it hadn’t been for that horn snapping him back to reality, he would have definitely stepped right into it.
After hesitating for a moment, he dragged a barrier from the construction site entrance and placed it in front of the manhole to prevent anyone else from falling in. Then he clapped his hands and continued walking forward with his phone.
Construction site.
The man, holding his cane, walked lightly on the gravel-strewn ground. He gently lifted the edge of his hat, his crimson eye scanning the surroundings.
In his vision, everything around seemed to transform into an old movie, rapidly flickering, replaying their past experiences and future encounters.
The crimson light in the center of his brow flowed, dragging the playback progress bar into the future.
On the small gravel path to the east, two people would step on it in three minutes, moving lightly, likely quite skilled;
To his left, several glass surfaces would reflect the silhouettes of three people in three and a half minutes, draped in dark red cloaks, with straight knives at their waists, perfectly matching the members of the 007 team he saw on surveillance;
The unfinished building in front of him, the third window from the left on the south side, would shatter in five minutes;
The sandy area to the west of the building would be washed away by a large volume of high-pressure water in five and a half minutes, indicating that there was a water manipulator among the 007 team;
The wall to the south…
Hundreds of pieces of information merged together, revealing themselves before the man’s eyes. Through these seemingly fragmented future details, he could perfectly simulate the scene that was about to unfold here.
How each person would move, how they would strike, and what impact they would have on the environment were all clear to him.
“Surrounding them separately… indeed a good choice.”
The man shaded his crimson eye with the brim of his hat, murmuring to himself,
“But why haven’t I seen the other team’s movements… have they given up on this assessment? No, that’s impossible; that lord wouldn’t lie to me…”
After pondering for a moment, he stepped towards the unfinished building in front of him.
This building had started construction three years ago but was halted due to funding issues. At this moment, apart from him, the unexpected visitor, there were no other figures in sight.
His figure gradually disappeared into the building.
Three minutes later.
Members of the 007 team, like phantoms, flashed into the construction site from different directions.
Two agile figures swept past the gravel path from the east. Han Qing looked up at the towering building, her brow slightly furrowed.
“Xiaoyu, are you sure it’s in this building?”
“Yeah.” Qi Xiaoyu moved her finger away from her temple and nodded, “I can clearly sense its mental fluctuations right in that building, but I don’t know which floor it’s on.”
“It doesn’t matter; since we’ve surrounded it, it can’t escape from here.”
Han Qing opened her earpiece and calmly said, “Activate [No戒空域].”
Outside the construction site, signs fell simultaneously from the west, north, and south, as a vast, invisible domain slowly opened, completely isolating the construction site from the outside world.
