The stairwell was dimly lit, separated from the corridor by an Iron Door. However, compared to the restroom, it was much closer. Thus, as the secretary turned the corner, Qi Tianyi had already returned to the stairwell, turning with a somber expression to watch the secretary’s back.
Just as he stopped, he heard a voice by his ear: “Close the door.”
“Hmm?” Qi Tianyi’s heart skipped a beat as he cautiously scanned his surroundings again. “Impossible, this is already outside the surveillance cara’s range. How did they see ? If it’s a superhuman with a ntal ability, I should sense it. Even if they’re good at hiding, they can’t simultaneously avoid both my and her sensing in this area…”
With this thought, Qi Tianyi’s ears twitched slightly, but the result left him sowhat frustrated and puzzled: “Nothing… If it’s not through the caras, then the person must be nearby, but I can’t hear a third person’s breathing.”
Qi Tianyi felt a bit defeated, not knowing that if he had managed to discover the other person, that would have been quite the surprise… The captain’s current state was nearly indistinguishable from a fully mutated Zombie, even stronger in so respects. Even a superhuman with ntal abilities couldn’t detect him when he didn’t want to be found… The master ball’s special ability, “Enter Psychic Power!”, could conceal most psychic activity, especially when the target inherently lacked much psychic power, making it particularly effective.
This ability’s na was sothing Ling Mo ca up with on the spot…
But Ling Mo’s “surveillance” thod wasn’t accomplished through psychic power; he used a more primitive thod: relying on a Zombie’s sense of sll. As long as the distance between the two was recorded in advance, combined with scent tracking, it wasn’t hard to determine these two people’s locations.
This seemingly cumberso action had achieved the exact effect Ling Mo anticipated: intimidation.
After all, he was acting alone, whereas there were two of them… Facing them head-on was one thing, but even if he managed to separate them, it wouldn’t be easy for him to handle. Regardless of whether he could take them down, he had to create a sense of presence first…
“What’s your point? I’ve already put down my weapon and separated from my companion. Whatever concerns you have should be put to rest by now!” Qi Tianyi thought for a mont, but couldn’t help asking.
“You are the infamous captain of the Destruction, and even if you’ve separated for a short distance, it doesn’t guarantee my safety,” the other person quickly responded flatly.
“Sounds reasonable…” Qi Tianyi thought to himself, but he still replied with dissatisfaction, “Even if you claim to have Intelligence, I can’t do anything when I know nothing about you…”
“Check the corner behind the door,” the voice suddenly instructed.
Qi Tianyi was growing impatient; he hadn’t dealt with such a troubleso situation in a long ti. But thinking about the information regarding Ling Mo, he restrained himself and took two cautious steps back, then looked toward the corner.
“Hmm? What’s this…”
He bent down and picked up sothing resembling an ID card, examining it closely.
“A mark card!”
Due to cost, these mark cards didn’t detail the holder’s identity, but they did prove the owner was a Falcon mber. In fact, these things were relatively easy to counterfeit, but similar printers and special inks weren’t easy to co by everywhere… Overall, this served as an authentic anti-counterfeiting mark for Falcon mbers, and only those with certain authority were qualified to possess it. Such a person wouldn’t be randomly killed in this Camp…
Qi Tianyi wasn’t too surprised by this discovery. On the contrary, after initially verifying the other person’s identity, he felt even more displeased.
“If they’re part of Falcon, how dare they treat like this! Hold on, having a mark card doesn’t guarantee… Wait, what’s this…”
On the back of the mark card was a handwritten note: “Qi Tianyi, your hemorrhoid has been exposed!”
“Damn it!”
Qi Tianyi couldn’t help but let out a gasp, his face turning unpleasant instantly.
Just how well did this person know him? Although it wasn’t exactly a deep secret, after a few rearrangents, only a handful of people at the Second Camp knew about it… Yet, despite running through the list of suspects quickly, he couldn’t think of anyone.
“Knowing this… it’s definitely soone from Falcon… Second Camp folks wouldn’t have the ti for this.” With no more doubts, Qi Tianyi crushed the mark card in his hand, saying, “Looks like you put in a lot of effort.”
“Hehe, otherwise, I couldn’t have reached this point,” Ling Mo admitted straightforwardly.
“Choosing this thod ans you don’t see yourself as part of Falcon… But you wouldn’t switch to the Second Camp either… So, what exactly do you want? Only by knowing your intent can I decide whether to discuss this with you. You should know, I was rely trying to keep you stable just now,” Qi Tianyi responded without hesitation.
To his surprise, the implied threat in his words had no effect. The other party continued to smile and said, “I can’t tell you that, but rest assured, I’m just after more supplies.”
“Rest assured my foot!” Qi Tianyi said silently to himself but ultimately closed the door with a sigh.
With the Iron Door shut once more, the stairwell plunged into darkness.
“Now, head to the rooftop,” the voice ca through the receiver again.
“Enough is enough with your demands!”
Yet, the fact that soone would abandon their Falcon mber status to sell information genuinely intrigued Qi Tianyi… “This person’s so cautious and deeply hidden; maybe they really have obtained so incredible Intelligence…”
With this thought, Qi Tianyi slowly ascended the stairs. anwhile, the secretary’s words echoed in his ears: “Go on, I’ll act accordingly.”
As Qi Tianyi climbed the stairs, he gritted his teeth, thinking, “I just don’t know what she’s planning… Anyway, kid, whoever you are, you’re not going to gain anything this ti… As for Ling Mo, this ti you’re the one at fault. Just wait for quietly! I said that room would be mine, and it will be!”
anwhile, outside the Restroom.
The secretary swayed her hips as she approached the won’s Restroom, but her gaze drifted toward the n’s Restroom.
“It feels like… there shouldn’t be anyone there… but intuition can be so deceptive.”
She spoke these words out loud, seemingly unconcerned about any potential enemies that might be present. However, despite her casual deanor, she didn’t enter imdiately. After waiting for a couple of seconds, she pushed open the Restroom door with a smile.
The Restroom was spotless and free of any unpleasant odors, but the overly bright lighting made it a bit uncomfortable for anyone just entering. This glaring sensation barely registered before the lights suddenly went out with a “snap.”
“Oh!”
After a mont, the woman’s figure in the dark slowly stood upright again, squinting her eyes as she looked around: “Too bad, no one took the chance to ambush …” She turned her head toward the door, “Was locking in all they intended? If that’s all…”
Before she could finish, her pupils suddenly constricted, and her whole body stiffened. Her heartbeat quickened dramatically, pounding in her ears, and even her breath seed to freeze.
Soone was watching her…
She tilted her head slightly, a flicker of alarm crossing her eyes.
In the dark Mirror, her reflection was clearly visible. And behind her reflection, there was another shadowy figure…
The instant she turned her face, she saw the figure’s head suddenly swell…
But when she spun around, there was no one there. The Restroom was empty, with only her standing there, seemingly alone.
“Trying to scare ? Do you think I scare easily?”
The secretary’s gaze swept beneath the washbasin and quickly shifted toward the few closed cubicle doors…
