Chapter 248: Chapter 245 500 meters

Chapter 248 -245 500 meters

Several hours later, Tang Yu walked out of the side door of the shopping mall.

Looking up at the sky, how melancholy he felt.

He had thought that, unlike ordinary girls, sisters like Xing Ling and Xing Yue, born differently, wouldn’t spend much time on clothing.

As it turned out, being single had limited his imagination.

As soon as he stepped out of the shopping mall, he was approached by several awakeners wearing Security Team uniforms.

Tang Yu glanced at Li, who had a lollipop in his mouth.

His first thought was that this was about the ghost car incident caused by Li, and that the Security Bureau had come to settle accounts.

It wasn’t until Li Yunfei spoke that Tang Yu understood the situation.

“So you mean to say, there’s a criminal you’ve been unable to find, so you need divination to locate his exact hiding place?”

Li Yunfei seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying solemnly, “Since this criminal is quite important and we are eager to locate him, we approached your Extreme Martial Arts Hall. Of course, we will pay the market price as compensation.”

After he finished speaking, his gaze swept over the sisters Xing Ling and Xing Yue, finally resting on Tang Yu, waiting anxiously for the decision of the Martial Arts Hall Master.

Tang Yu supported himself with his hands, lost in thought.

Privately, via the contract connection, he asked Xing Ling and Xing Yue for their opinions.

Helping the Security Bureau with the divination of the criminal’s location wasn’t difficult for the sisters, and they had no particular concerns.

Yet Tang Yu did not immediately respond.

He pondered.

‘The Security Bureau is in such a rush to solve the case, why didn’t they show up earlier? Why is everything so dragged out?’

‘Had they approached us earlier, I wouldn’t have needed to spend so much time in the shopping mall!’

Thinking of his own mental anguish and physical back pain, Tang Yu felt that taking the job wasn’t out of the question, but the price must be high enough to pain the Security Bureau, which would make him a bit happier.

Tang Yu considered for a moment and then casually listed some material names, “Fire Copper Ore, Black Stone Ore, Cold Iron… Silver Leaf Grass, Purple Star Flower, etc. How much can you offer for these?”

These materials and minerals, though not among the rarest, were hard to find; at least, Tang Yu had his people run around Luoxia multiple times, and they found very few such transcendent minerals and herbs for sale.

Li Yunfei and the others discussed for a while. “We can offer this much for the transcendent ore,” he said, showing two fingers.

Tang Yu did not respond but signaled to Xing Ling.

Cognizant of his intentions, she reached behind her back, where the people from the Security Bureau couldn’t see, and twirled a pendant around her finger. The pendant chain swayed, with a round patterned object attached, gently shaking.

Soon after, Xing Ling looked towards Li Yunfei and declared, “Five hundred units.”

Tang Yu then added, “Firm price.”

Li Yunfei’s face contorted as if constipated, and after attempting to speak several times, he finally nodded helplessly.

Security Bureau, Interrogation Room.

Although the people from the Security Bureau were not clear about the divination abilities of Xing Ling and Xing Yue, in order to preserve enough clues, they hadn’t cleaned up the interrogation room after Wang Ran and others had self-destructed, leaving it untouched.

Upon entering, one encountered chunks of flesh and dried blood across the floor, resembling a terrestrial hell.

The Security Bureau’s personnel were already accustomed to this and did not mind.

However, some glanced with worry towards Tang Yu and his company, mainly at Li, who seemed just like a small child.

But Li showed no expression, and even seemed amused.

…

Standing outside the police tape, Captain Lei asked impatiently, “Can you divine the outcome?”

“We will only know the outcome once we perform the divination,” answered Xing Ling.

She glanced at the chaotic ground, ultimately choosing not to touch the flesh pieces. Instead, she pulled out a fist-sized crystal ball.

Both hands steadied on either side.

The crystal ball was shrouded in mist, swirling around.

The entire interrogation room quickly came into view.

“I will trace back from this interrogation room as the source. If power has truly been bestowed and self-destructed here, some of the same source power should still linger.”

To avoid disturbing Xing Ling’s casting, the members of the Security Bureau stepped outside the room, holding their breath, anxiously waiting for the divination results.

Xing Ling was focused and serious, calming her mind as her spiritual power connected with the crystal ball.

Her power was channeled into the crystal ball, enveloping the entire room.

Broken flesh,

Blood,

Cells,

Power.

The source power slowly flowed through.

Xing Ling’s purple hair appeared to flutter as if blown by an invisible wind.

Coated with a faint silvery glow.

Elegant and mysterious.

Xing Ling increased the infusion of source power, her expression still focused without any change.

Gradually, the scene on the crystal ball began to change.

Like a poorly tuned television, flashing erratically, chaotic and disordered.

On Xing Ling’s forehead, beads of sweat formed unknowingly, trickling down her face to drip from her chin.

After a while,

Xing Ling released her hands from either side of the crystal ball and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

“How did it go?” Captain Lei and the others couldn’t wait and rushed in.

Xing Ling shook her head, “I could only divine a rough area.”

“How large?”

“Quite large,” Xing Ling gestured with her hands, drawing a circle in the air.

Seeing this, the members of the Security Bureau sighed, their disappointment hard to conceal.

“Hard to believe that even divination didn’t work. We can’t blame… After all, many powerful ability users have used their abilities to investigate, but also without results.”

“What do we do now? Among the ability users registered in the Sanctuary, is there anyone with a special tracking ability?”

“…”

The people from the Security Bureau discussed among themselves, their voices low but not concealed.

Tang Yu, with his acute hearing, could hear every word clearly.

‘It seems like this case is quite serious.’

Tang Yu recalled the headless corpse he had seen a few days ago and thought about the increasing presence of the Security Team on the streets these past few days, which was likely related to this case.

The Security Bureau hadn’t mentioned much about the specifics of the case; he had to infer from snippets of conversation.

Apparently, the perpetrator possessed the ability to bestow ordinary people with power and was plotting something dangerous for the Sanctuary.

Even Xing Ling couldn’t divine the precise location, Tang Yu could imagine the strength of the opponent.

Interfering with divination was not something just anyone could manage.

He even wondered, could there really be such a powerful Awakener in the Luoxia Sanctuary?

“Xing Ling, what exactly is the range you divined?”

Tang Yu saw her gesturing with her hands and quickly corrected, “How many kilometers in radius?”

“Um…” Xing Ling frowned, counting on her fingers, apparently calculating the distance. After a moment, she said, “Five—”

“Five hundred meters. The range should be around five hundred meters.”

From a distance, amidst the discussion.

Captain Lei’s ears twitched, and he suddenly turned around, “Five hundred meters? Is it really only five hundred meters?!”
