If Ren Xiaosu were here, he would immediately understand that this supernatural being with the surname Li had the power to reconstruct what had happened in a place.
In the white fog, the movements of the Pyro Company and "Wang Congyang" were exactly the same as before.
"Mr. Li, let's rewind a little more. We still want to see the whole story," the Zhou Clan officer said. Someone next to him had set up a camera and was ready to record the scene.
Mr. Li nodded. It was as though time was rewinding in the fog, and even his movements were a little distorted.
The projection in the fog kept rewinding to the time when the Pyro Company was excavating the ground and when "Wang Congyang" first appeared.
Mr. Li shook his head. "I can only rewind this much. Fortunately, there aren't many people here. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to conjure a projection."
"Alright, thank you for your hard work." The Zhou Clan officer said politely, "May I trouble your assistant to translate what they're saying?"
An assistant who could read lips was already standing next to Mr. Li. When the Pyro Company member opened his mouth, the assistant would immediately translate based on the shape of his mouth. "You're Wang Congyang, right? Where's the steam locomotive? "
"Alright, confirm his identity. After we dig out the information …"
The Pyro Company member's words were translated. From the beginning to the end, the "Wang Congyang" in time did not say a single word.
Right after, they discussed killing the patrol troops before "Wang Congyang" led the Pyro Company members into the train and left.
The light and shadow stopped at this point. It seemed that Mr. Li's ability had reached its limit. However, there was an accident at the last scene. An extremely blurry figure emerged from the forest, clung onto the carriage, and left with the train.
"Who's that?" The Zhou Clan officer said in surprise, "I didn't see him earlier. Where was he hiding?"
Mr. Li pointed to the forest next to him. "He's been hiding there the whole time. Since he didn't show himself, we didn't see him either."
"That's strange. Who exactly is that person? Is he trying to follow the Pyro Company members? Is he from the Anjing House?" The Zhou Clan officer frowned and said, "But Mr. Li, why can't I see his face clearly? Even his body seems to be covered by a layer of fog."
Mr. Li also felt that it was a little strange. He walked closer and studied the figure of Ren Xiaosu, who was clinging to the carriage. The other party was indeed shrouded in a layer of fog, making it impossible to see his appearance and clothing clearly. He could only tell that he was a human.
"This has never happened before," Mr. Li said curiously. "Why is this person so special?"
"We found blood on the ground nearby, but we didn't find any corpses. Furthermore, the steam locomotive didn't leave the park." The Zhou Clan officer said, "So we suspect that something happened in the park after the steam locomotive left. Can you show more light and shadow so that we can see what happened at that time? "
Mr. Li shook his head. "You can only use it once a day. If you use it again tomorrow, the time limit will be over."
"Then can you think of a way to see this blurry figure clearly? I think he might be a key figure in this incident," the Zhou Clan officer asked.
"I'll try my best," Mr. Li said.
At that moment, the steam locomotive had stopped in front of them. In the light and shadow, Ren Xiaosu was still in the position of clinging to the carriage. It was like a movie that had been paused.
Mr. Li stood in front of Ren Xiaosu and raised his hand to create another light and shadow. It was as if he wanted to disperse the layer of white fog on Ren Xiaosu's body.
However, when the light and shadow landed on Ren Xiaosu's body, the blurry figure suddenly moved. In the light and shadow, the steam locomotive was still in a paused state. Only Ren Xiaosu turned his head and looked calmly at Mr. Li.
That gaze was cold but extremely intimidating. The other party was only looking at him quietly, but Mr. Li felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast.
In that blurry figure, only that pair of eyes was extremely clear!
Mr. Li spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground dispiritedly. "I can't take it anymore, I can't see clearly! This is too strange. Who is this person? Why is he able to counteract my ability?! "
There was an uproar in the surroundings. No one had expected such an outcome.
In the past, when Mr. Li helped with cases, he had always been successful. It was a piece of cake for him to find criminals. But this time, he had failed. Moreover, Mr. Li had even suffered from a backlash.
The origin of Mr. Li's superpower was also rather unique. He was just an ordinary researcher, but his wife was robbed and murdered after work. Mr. Li was devastated and swore to catch the murderer.
However, the people from the Public Order Division said that there were no surveillance cameras at the place where the robbery took place that day. Therefore, it would be very difficult to catch the murderer.
In the end, Mr. Li awakened his powers and led the Public Order Division to find the true murderer.
Later on, Mr. Li did not hide his abilities. Every day, he would help the Zhou Clan handle some of the more difficult cases. The Zhou Clan would then pay him.
As only his face could be seen in the light and shadow but not his voice, he even hired an assistant who could translate his lips.
And now, Ren Xiaosu, who was holed up in the hotel, was suddenly in a daze.
Next to him, Zhou Yingxue asked, "What's the matter, Master?"
Ren Xiaosu frowned. "I felt like I was being watched. But that feeling disappeared very quickly. I don't know what happened."
Zhou Yingxue glanced at the window and saw the curtains were drawn. "There are no surveillance cameras in the room. I've already checked."
"OK." Ren Xiaosu nodded and took out the 13 boxes containing the data.
Zhou Yingxue was stunned. "Master, what's this?"
Ren Xiaosu briefly explained to her what happened tonight. Basically, the Pyro Company wanted to transport the laboratory data out, and he got into a fight with them.
Zhou Yingxue was speechless. So so many things had happened in one night. "I thought you were just going to dig up some stuff, Master. I didn't expect a fight to break out. That was way too dangerous."
"Mhm, they were quite dangerous," Ren Xiaosu answered absent-mindedly. His attention was already focused on the data in front of him.
"So, Master, are these all the data about that laboratory?" Zhou Yingxue asked with bright eyes, "Then if we sell this data, wouldn't we be able to live the rest of our lives without having to worry about food and clothing for the rest of our lives?"
"You'd still have to be alive to spend it." Ren Xiaosu said calmly, "Once you sell it, a lot of people will definitely target you. The Pyro Company will probably chase you to the ends of the world. Don't think you can keep everything under wraps. There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world."
Therefore, if Ren Xiaosu really wanted to sell the laboratory data, he only had two options. One was Fortress 178, but he was not sure if Fortress 178 would be interested in it.
The other option was the Kyung Clan.
Ren Xiaosu would only feel at ease if he sold it to these two clans.
