Lanxing District.
Northern villa area.
Here, only half of the villas were rented out. On weekdays, except for the patrolling security guards, there were not many pedestrians. It was very quiet.
However, at this moment, the sound of vehicles driving broke the silence of the villa area.
A troop transport vehicle was parked on the lawn. Hunters wearing red heraldic uniforms jumped out of the vehicle. Without stopping for a moment, they quickly rushed toward their destination.
Tang Yu and Protoss walked out of a camouflaged Floating Chariot and observed the surroundings.
Behind them, another Floating Chariot also stopped. Inside the car, Shay, Bamboo Rat Oguri, and Carmen's three followers walked out.
They formed a six-person sightseeing team.
After the divination results came out, the Security Bureau had already paid the first payment.
At this time, the Security Bureau also proposed that they hope Protoss can accompany them. Whether they make a move or not, they can get a payment.
Once divination is needed, depending on the situation and difficulty, a part of the payment will be added.
Tang Yu agreed without hesitation.
Even if the Security Bureau didn't invite him, he would find an opportunity to observe the situation here.
So he formed a sightseeing group with enough security.
… …
… … …
The operation soon began.
Chief Jin, Captain Lei, and the Ancestral Gragon captain in charge of command patiently waited for the results.
Not long after.
Several perception-type ability users trotted back and shook their heads. "We still haven't found anything unusual. Only three villas have people living in them. The Security Bureau has already talked to them, and we've also entered the villas to check, but we still haven't found anything."
"Those villas are all normal residents."
"Is it possible that Mr. K is hiding too deep to be discovered?" Chief Jin frowned and asked.
A perceptual ability user thought for a while and nodded, "There is indeed such a possibility. But Mr. K can hide, but the things in the villa can't be hidden. But we haven't found any clues in the villa."
Chief Jin rubbed his temples and looked at the security guard on the side, "Have you contacted the tenants of the other villas that have been rented out?"
The security guard shook his head again and again, "The time is too short. We … we don't have the means to contact them quickly."
Chief Jin took a deep breath, and a decisive look flashed on his face, "In that case, let's break the door and search. If Mr. K has a way to shield the perception, then we'll send our team into the villa to conduct a physical search. Remember not to leave any place unchecked!"
"Also." He turned his head and looked to the other side, "Captain Lei, let the little girl with the divination ability try again. As long as she can find out Mr. K's specific location, just name your conditions. We can't delay any longer!"
Time ticked by.
One by one, the villas were broken into, including those that had not been rented out. They were also searched. Even the small woods, rockery, and ponds that could hide were not spared.
However,
"We didn't find anything in Villa Number One."
"Nothing in villa number two."
"We didn't find anything in Villa 16."
The faces of the Security Bureau and the people of the Ancestral Dragon Special Warfare Regiment were ugly.
Tang Yu was also a bit puzzled.
Star performed another divination, and the result was very clear, pointing to this area.
Tang Yu stood on a raised lawn and looked into the distance, "What do you think?"
Several followers frowned as they pondered. Oguri was the first to speak. Unexpectedly, she didn't have any food in her mouth. "I think this place is a bit strange. Hmm, it's like it's covered by something."
"Is it dangerous?" Tang Yu asked.
"Not really."
"It's fine if there's no danger. After all, we're only charging for sightseeing."
… …
The members of the Security Bureau were still conducting a carpet search.
However, the higher-ups didn't have much hope now.
Chief Jin frowned, rubbed his swollen temples, and pulled his hair.
He thought for a moment and asked the security guard on the side. "There are 16 villas. Seven of them are rented out. Who are the people living in them? Bring me a list of tenants."
The security guard didn't dare to delay and quickly brought a list. Chief Jin pondered over the list, "One, four, six, nine, fifteen …"
Wait …
Chief Jin was stunned, "There are only six rented villas. Where did the seven come from?"
"It's seven. I remember it clearly." The security captain whispered and stepped forward to count, "One, four, six, nine, fifteen … Huh, it really seems to be six. No, I remember it clearly. Xiao Liu, Xiao Chen, do you remember if it's six or seven?"
"It's seven."
The other security guards answered without hesitation.
As soon as they finished, they immediately shuddered.
The Security Bureau's captains looked at each other and saw the seriousness and excitement in each other's expressions.
They weren't afraid of problems. They were afraid that they couldn't find the problem!
… …
… … …
On the raised grassy slope.
Oguri squatted on the ground, drawing circles and thinking for a while. Suddenly, she jumped up, "I know! This place is shrouded in some kind of source force field, and this source force field distorts our perception! "
"Even our perception can be distorted. Doesn't that mean the enemy's strength is far beyond our imagination?" Tang Yu had the urge to retreat and return to the territory.
Oguri waved her hand and showed a proud look, "That's not it. If the enemy can greatly distort our perception, it can indeed show that their strength is above us. But this source force field doesn't have much effect on our perception. It just makes us inadvertently ignore something."
"For example, the enemy made us ignore one of the villas. No matter how we search or how many times we pass by that villa, we'll ignore it as if it doesn't exist."
"But, pay attention to the 'but' I said …" Oguri ran to the side, broke a branch, and gestured on the lawn. "This kind of sense of existence can only be used when it can't be detected. Once it's detected for various reasons, the distortion effect on perception will be greatly weakened."
"For example, now that we understand the principle of this source force field, the effect of this source force field on us is negligible."
Oguri finished speaking and held her head high. She looked like she wanted to praise her.
Tang Yu decisively ignored Oguri.
He thought deeper.
Was the source force field here the effect of some kind of treasure, or was it artificially arranged?
If it was artificially arranged, even if the effect of this source force field, as Oguri said, wasn't that powerful. But it also meant that the person behind the scenes had mastered the relevant 'knowledge.'
Treasure and knowledge, if he had a choice, which one would he want?
Of course, he had to grab it with both hands.
