At midnight, Martel City was dead silent. It was as if the huge foothold had fallen into a deep sleep.
It was almost midnight. It was drizzling and there were not many people on the streets. Street lamps were placed on both sides of the road at the same distance, giving off a dim glow. It was obvious that the Sunstones had not been replaced for a long time.
A foothold like Martel City which was not a bustling one would have a relatively poor nightlife. On non-holidays, there would not be many people on the streets before 10.30 pm, let alone in such a rainy weather.
"How long has it been raining?"
In the brightly lit hotel room, Lin Huang, who was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed, opened his eyes slowly. He had been studying the Sorcerer Dao inheritance in his soul for the entire day and only now did his consciousness return to his body. As soon as he regained his senses, he heard the sound of raindrops hitting the window.
"The rain hasn't stopped since half past eight in the morning." Bloody hovered on the coffee table in front of Lin Huang. It looked like a purple cotton candy that was magnified tens of times as it floated in the air.
"Will this weather affect the detection of the Leech Pods?" Lin Huang frowned as he looked out of the window.
"To be honest, it will affect it a little. The sunlight is worse than usual due to the rain. The effect of the Leech Pods will be reduced by about 15% in such weather. " Bloody explained in detail, "Another problem is that the monster can become semi-transparent. The weather is good for it."
"Will it affect it a lot?" Lin Huang immediately turned around and asked.
"Not really. Although its body can become semi-transparent, it won't disappear completely. The rainwater won't penetrate through it. Instead, it will reveal its body shape. As long as I observe it carefully, it shouldn't be difficult to find it, "Bloody explained further.
Lin Huang nodded his head in relief. He stood up and walked to the window, looking out.
The hotel room only had three walls. One of the walls was made of biochemical resin glass. The two big windows in the living room were on the glass wall, and the entire room was transparent.
Fine raindrops hit the transparent resin glass, converging into a trickle that flowed down the glass.
Lin Huang's gaze did not linger on the raindrops. Instead, he looked out the window through the transparent glass. His gaze was so deep that it seemed as if it could penetrate the dense night.
There was an immortal-level rank-3 potential victim living in a luxurious area more than 200 meters away. Lin Huang only found out that the hotel that he had chosen two days ago was so close to the victim's residence after Bloody had identified all the potential victims.
The luxurious district was filled with villas, but Lin Huang's hotel room was on the 128th floor. Looking down from above, he could see the entire district.
The residential area was empty. Other than the security room at the entrance, there were only three houses with lights on, including the home of the potential victim.
The residential area was completely covered by Lin Huang's three-thousand-meter radius. He didn't even need to use his eyes to see everything that was happening in the residential area.
In the security room, the security guard on duty was eating supper. In one of the villas with lights on, a couple was doing exercise on the bed that was beneficial to their physical and mental health. In another villa, a burly man was taking a bath in a bathtub. In the last villa, the potential victim was sitting in the study room. He seemed to be checking the mail on his Emperor's Heart Ring.
Lin Huang took a quick glance at the entire residential area. He then looked away as he did not find anything strange. He then looked at his Emperor's Heart Ring. It was 11: 46 p.m.
"Still nothing?" Lin Huang looked in the direction where Bloody was. He believed that with Bloody's monitoring ability, it would not miss anything. Since there was no news from Bloody, it meant that the murderer had not done anything yet. However, it was almost midnight. Lin Huang frowned.
Just when he was puzzled, Lin Huang suddenly turned his head and looked out of the window. His gaze pierced through the night and landed on a deserted street next to the residential area.
The street looked the same as before. There was no one on it. Under the illumination of the street lamp, an almost invisible green shadow flashed across the ground.
With the interference of the raindrops and mist, the green shadow was almost invisible. If not for the fact that something had entered his Territory, Lin Huang might not have noticed the existence of the shadow at all.
Bloody's voice came almost at the same time when Lin Huang noticed it.
"The murderer is here! He's in the residential area below us! "
"What a coincidence!"
Lin Huang shook his head and smiled. He did not expect the murderer to choose the one right under his nose out of 118 potential victims. The coordinates that he had spent a day setting up were completely useless now.
Bloody transformed into a purple glow and went into Lin Huang's sleeve. Without hesitation, Lin Huang turned around and left through the window. His body was like a night owl hunting its prey. He swooped down from the building that was hundreds of meters high, aiming at the almost invisible shadow.
Although the body was almost transparent, the murderer was like a lamp in the night in Lin Huang's Territory. No matter how hard it tried to hide, it could not escape from Lin Huang's senses.
Meanwhile, Bloody's method was a little clumsier. Its Surveillance Pod noticed that the water droplets in the area were splashing in mid-air before they even landed on the ground.
The murderer did not seem to notice that he had been discovered. He moved quickly and killed all of the surveillance monsters in the area.
Only when he killed the last surveillance mosquito did he notice that something was wrong. He then slowly turned around.
At that moment, Lin Huang had landed on the ground like a fallen leaf in the wind. He did not make any sound.
Although he could not see the monster's body, Lin Huang knew very well that he was less than ten meters away from the monster. Moreover, the unknown monster was sizing him up curiously.
"His senses are pretty strong. I've almost suppressed my aura, but I've still been discovered." Lin Huang smiled as if he was talking to himself.
The monster that was almost transparent knew that it had been discovered. It did not bother to hide anymore and its body gradually solidified.
Looking at the monster's body, Lin Huang frowned. He could not believe that the monster had solidified into a human's body. Its body and appearance were exactly the same as the strongest male corpse that he had seen in the morgue two days ago.
After solidifying its body, the monster then solidified a large trench coat on the surface of its body, covering its body. Clearly, it knew some of the habits of humans.
"I know that you can understand what I'm talking about. If you don't mind, can you tell me what kind of monster you are? I can't find you in the monster guide. "Lin Huang teased it. In reality, he was ready to fight.
"You're not even on immortal-level. How dare you challenge me?" The monster squinted its eyes. It did not attack immediately as it could not understand where Lin Huang got his confidence from. It even suspected that Lin Huang had set up an ambush and there might be other reinforcements hiding in the dark.
"You don't have to look anywhere else. I didn't bring anyone else here." Lin Huang spread his arms and thought to himself, "Summoning monsters aren't considered humans."
The monster could not find anything after checking. It guessed that what Lin Huang said might be true. Its eyes were filled with ferocity.
