Chapter 610: Search

Yurina’s frail body crashed onto the concrete floor, producing a dull sound, and a trickle of fresh blood flowed down from her forehead as she curled up in pain.

Yamamoto Yusuke’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“I’ll ask you one more time, do you have anything to repay your father’s debt?” His cold voice echoed in the warehouse.

Yurina lay on the ground, her palms clenched into fists, gritting her teeth as she spoke slowly and deliberately:

“No.”

Yamamoto Yusuke silently stared at her for a long time, then stood up from the black sofa and turned to walk out of the warehouse, simultaneously instructing the thugs:

“Lock her up. No one is allowed to approach her, and don’t give her any food. Let her starve for two days. If she still can’t think of anything to repay the debt, sell her off to Shinjuku.”

“Yes! Boss!”

The thugs replied in unison.

Yamamoto Yusuke exited the warehouse, glanced at the blue sky above, and confirmed that there was no one else around. He took a deep breath, solemnly pulled out his phone from his pocket, and dialed a number.

“Mr. I, this is Yamamoto Yusuke.”

“…”

“I’m very sorry! There’s still no progress this time. This girl seems to really know nothing. I…”

“…”

“Yes! Yes! You’re right to scold me, I’m very sorry! Please give me another chance!”

“…”

“No, I beg you, please give me one last chance!” Yamamoto Yusuke’s forehead was beaded with sweat, his face pale. “Tomorrow, I will definitely find out what you want! Please give me one last chance!”

“…”

“Thank you! Thank you very much! I will definitely…”

Before Yamamoto Yusuke could finish his sentence, the call was abruptly cut off. He stood there holding his phone, his back already soaked with sweat.

He stood like a statue for a long time, and finally, color returned to his pale face. He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with unprecedented ruthlessness.

He turned around and walked back toward the warehouse.

……

Lin Qiye and Hong Yan arrived at a secluded alley and stopped.

“Let’s do it here, Hong Yan. Keep an eye on the surroundings and don’t let anyone approach,” Lin Qiye said as he looked around.

Hong Yan nodded, then jumped up with a powerful push from her feet, soaring over ten meters high to land on the roof of the alley, carefully observing the surroundings.

Lin Qiye took a piece of chalk from his pocket, broke it in half with force, and bent down to draw on the ground.

After a few minutes, a large and complex summoning magic circle was outlined, resembling a perfect piece of art.

Lin Qiye tossed the chalk into a trash can, slowly squatted in the center of the magic circle, pressed his palm against the ground, took a deep breath, and infused his mental energy into it!

A blinding blue light flashed from the magic circle!

Although the light was dazzling, it only lasted for a moment. Once the light faded, a terrifying gaze projected from the void, beginning to search the surroundings.

Lin Qiye stood still like a statue, not moving at all.

After about half a minute, that gaze slowly disappeared. Lin Qiye raised his head and saw a pool of black liquid flowing on the ground opposite the magic circle.

In the next moment, the liquid twisted rapidly, transforming into a black humanoid figure. An eye with crimson pupils opened on its forehead, emitting a mysterious glow.

The figure slightly bowed and politely spoke:

“Caregiver No. 007, Black Eye, is willing to serve the director.”

Lin Qiye twitched the corner of his mouth. “Get up. Let’s leave here first.”

Hong Yan leaped down from the rooftop, grabbing Lin Qiye and Black Eye with both hands, transforming into a beam of light that merged into the ground, disappearing from sight.

When the three reappeared, they were already back at the steps of the shrine.

After the last lesson, Lin Qiye had basically figured out the pattern of that gaze. The more mental energy he used to operate the Forbidden Ruins, the longer the gaze would search. If it was just the simplest hand-drawn summoning magic, it would only trigger a few seconds of tracking, as if that mysterious existence itself was uncertain whether it sensed any aura, and would leave after a simple search.

However, even so, there was still a possibility that a divine envoy might come to investigate, so he had to leave there quickly and ensure that no traces were left in the surrounding surveillance.

At this moment, Lin Qiye and Hong Yan stood on the steps, while Black Eye blended into Lin Qiye’s shadow, concealed by his hoodie, making it impossible for outsiders to see him.

“Director, did you call for me for something?” Black Eye’s voice echoed in Lin Qiye’s ear.

“I need you to help me find someone.” Lin Qiye raised his hand and pointed to the surveillance camera above the street.

“Sure thing.” Black Eye responded without hesitation.

Lin Qiye opened his palm, revealing a cherry blossom-colored hairpin lying quietly in his hand. “I need you to find the girl wearing this hairpin. No use of the Forbidden Ruins is allowed here; you only have a moment. Can you do it?”

“A moment…” Black Eye pondered.

His “Eye of Secrets” could see the past, but it was like a film reel playing back. To find a girl and search for her whereabouts meant he had to pinpoint the exact moment something happened to her.

“Do you have an approximate time?”

Lin Qiye thought for a moment. “Two to three hours ago.”

“Got it, I’ll give it a try.”

As Black Eye’s voice fell, a crimson eye suddenly opened at the collar of Lin Qiye’s hoodie, fixating on the surveillance camera above, its gaze emitting a faint glow.

That mysterious gaze projected from the void once again!

Since Black Eye was right on Lin Qiye, he could clearly feel the pressure coming from the void. As Black Eye focused longer, the searching gaze drew closer to Lin Qiye, and the pressure intensified.

Sweat beads formed on his forehead.

The gaze gradually solidified, and Lin Qiye felt as if he were carrying a mountain on his shoulders, an unprecedented sense of crisis enveloping his heart.

Just a little more… he was about to be locked onto.

“Hurry!” Lin Qiye shouted.

Almost simultaneously, the crimson eye on him closed instantly, and the gaze from the mysterious existence seemed to lose its target, falling into a state of confusion. After searching the surroundings for a while, it could only slowly dissipate without a trace.

“Hong Yan.” Lin Qiye turned to look at Hong Yan, who immediately understood and grabbed Lin Qiye’s wrist again, disappearing into the ground.

Once they returned to a safe place, Lin Qiye took a deep breath, his heart still racing.

“Did you find her?” Lin Qiye asked.

“I found her.” Black Eye’s voice echoed in Lin Qiye’s ear. “She has been abducted.”
