After Su Xin turned off the news, he opened a learning website and continued to read the book he hadn't finished last ti.
Recently, he found his murderous intent growing stronger and his temperant becoming increasingly cold. However, during the process of learning, his heart would beco very calm, and the murderous intent would fade significantly.
anwhile, when Su Xin was studying seriously.
On the other side, Duan Yilin and the other two slept until noon. After rushing through lunch, they took their only remaining tracking dog and began tracking the black robe's trail.
Unexpectedly, not long after setting out, the tracking dog had a discovery. The three followed the direction the dog was sniffing in a car and on a motorcycle.
Before long, they followed the tracking dog to a public restroom in a park.
Watching the n and won entering and leaving the restroom, Duan Yilin and the other two, hiding in a corner nearby, exchanged puzzled glances.
One of them squatted down, petted the tracking dog's head, pointed towards the public restroom, and asked, "San Wang, are you sure it's here?"
The tracking dog bared its teeth and growled towards the direction of the restroom.
The person stood up, nodded confidently at Duan Yilin and the other person, "It should be here!"
"Alright!"
Duan Yilin grinned, saying, "We'll spread out and wait around. Once the target appears, San Wang can charge straight in."
"Now, spread out!"
The three quickly dispersed, pretending to linger casually in different spots around.
However, as ti went on, they felt increasingly uneasy.
If the black robe happened to use the restroom here, how could he possibly stay inside for so long?
After waiting for a full half hour, Duan Yilin couldn't hold back and directly ordered a teammate to rush the tracking dog into the restroom.
Amidst screams and curses, the teammate and tracking dog dashed into the won's restroom.
Seeing the tracking dog growling towards one of the stalls, the teammate beca solemn, leaped onto the stall door to peer inside, and saw a young woman inside.
Upon seeing the man climb up the door, the woman let out an earth-shattering scream.
"The black robe is a woman?"
The teammate hesitated but couldn't think much more. Considering the tracking dog led him here, it shouldn't be wrong, so...
Could this woman be the black robe then?
He imdiately pressed a subtle button on the fra of his glasses.
Though they looked like ordinary glasses, they contained multiple high-tech functions.
Taking photos was one of them.
As soon as a photo was taken, it automatically uploaded to the headquarters server, enabling instant reception without worrying about sudden equipnt failure.
He had no ti to ponder why the black robe didn't teleport away imdiately or why the sudden appearance frightened her so much.
Inside the restroom stall, the woman, seeing the man staring at her creepily, angrily cursed, throwing her bag at him.
"Pervert! Get lost!"
"Do that again, and I'll call the police!"
"Jerk! Disgusting pervert!"
The other won had already fled, leaving only the tracking dog barking outside the stall.
Two minutes later.
The teammate twisted the woman's arms behind her back, ignoring her disheveled clothes, and dragged her out excitedly yet bewildered.
"Strange? Is she really the black robe?"
"Did I actually catch the black robe just like that?"
Despite such thoughts, the teammate dared not relax, fearing a missed opportunity might an never catching the black robe again, firmly escorting the struggling woman out while calling to the tracking dog:
"San Wang, let's go!"
After leaving a certain distance, the teammate suddenly realized the tracking dog was still barking at the stall.
"San Wang?"
His expression changed drastically, belatedly concluding the tracking dog might not have tracked the woman but sothing else in the stall.
He quickly escorted the woman back to the stall door, scanning inside hurriedly, finally locking eyes on the water tank.
With a serious face, he stepped forward, yanked off the tank lid, and spotted a black cloth inside.
"Damn it! We were tricked!"
...
Ti returned to a little after five in the morning.
After Su Xin returned ho, he changed out of his black robe and gear, replacing it with a new set, simply washed the old black robe in water, cut it into dozens of small cloth pieces, and stuffed them into his pants pocket.
He knew that since the special scent sticks to the body and can't be washed off, the clothes surely have the sa scent, and water alone can't clean it well.
After confirming with a sniff, he saw this was true.
Therefore, he used Random Instant Teleportation to place the cut black cloth pieces into various unnoticed corners around Lening City.
One of them settled in a restroom tank.
Previously, he had been lurking in Fenglan District, killed two people and a dog, and seeing they didn't send more people, he could basically ascertain there weren't many tracking dogs left.
Now, scattering black cloth with the sa scent throughout Lening City's corners would surely confuse them.
Next was a matter of luck.
Would they stumble upon his real self?
Or chase scattered cloth pieces around Lening City?
Or simply give up?
...
Duan Yilin and his team, upon discovering black cloth in the restroom tank, basically guessed the black robe's actions. Despite knowing the chances were slim, they had to proceed with tracking this sole clue.
The whole afternoon was spent wandering various areas of Lening City.
Sotis barging into malls, other tis forcing entry into residences, even visiting police, governnt, hospitals, schools, and factories. In such places, the tracking dog couldn't enter, even with connections, rendering searches inefficient and possibly taking all afternoon without any results.
The three could only note these locations for further investigation later.
With such inefficient and blind tracking, they covered only a small part of Lening City, with many locations left unexplored.
...
anwhile, Su Xin kept studying, waiting for ti to pass slowly.
In the afternoon, he checked his phone screen's upper right corner again for the ti —
4:55.
Only five minutes from five o'clock.
Today's major exam registration wasn't the only thing on Su Xin's mind —
The last triggered task system event was on October 29th, today marked the third day since then.
If a new task triggers today, it'll confirm his previous speculation about the task chanism.
Aside from the new task itself, he anticipated verifying the task system.
Su Xin closed the learning site, patiently awaiting the final countdown.
