Chapter 24: Clues
Yu Tang was startled by the sound of the chair collapsing, and he took a closer look only to find that at the same time as the chair collapsed, a round ball rolled out.
"...... this?" Yu Tang picked up the ball and looked at it carefully.
The orb resembles the one the Prophet caress in the cave, but it does not emit light and is smaller than the Prophet's orb.
Yu Tang saw that there was nothing special about this ball, so he wanted to put it on the table, but at this time, the voice of the key to the time sounded in his head.
"A replica of the S-Class weapon 'Spirit of the Prophet' has been discovered."
When Yu Tang heard this voice, he immediately asked the Key of the Prophet in his mind, "What is the Spirit of the Prophet?" ”
"The Spirit of the Prophet, rated S-grade, can travel through time, gain insight into the laws of the operation of all things in the world, and can also find ways to modify fate. Unique to the administrator of a timeline, others cannot use the Prophet's Spirit, only a replica of it. Replicas can briefly see several possible future events, as well as the conditions under which those things will occur. The key to the time answered very quickly.
"What about this...... Can it still be used? Yu Tang looked at the crystal ball.
"It can't be used, and it can't be used again unless you take it to the True Prophet's Spirit to recharge it."
"It must be the old man's thing......" Yu Tang heard this answer and put it on a wooden table.
After putting it away, he went into the back room. The next thing that caught Yu Tang's eyes was a scene he hadn't expected.
In the back room, the old man was lying on the bed with his hands and feet tied, his eyes closed, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Seeing this scene, he quickly rushed over and untied the old man. and pinched the old man's palm. Fortunately, there was no danger, and the old man's pulse was very stable.
Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, and gently pressed the old man's middle a few times, and the old man slowly opened his eyes.
"Old man, what's going on?" Yu Tang asked eagerly.
"You...... Exposed, because of your karma, they found me. The old man said slowly. Yu Tang wanted to say something, but the old man raised his hand again and motioned for him to listen to him.
"What they want...... It's about you, but I know a lot less than they do. Seeing that they couldn't get anything out of my mouth, they wanted to kill me, but at this time Xiao Yun lied to them and said that she knew your information, but she had to tell their superiors face to face and tell them not to hurt me, otherwise she wouldn't say a word.
They agreed, so they took Xiao Yun away...... Ahem, please save her, in case Xiao Yun leaves the Shenzhou Continent and is exposed in front of the high-level officials of the Eagle Falcon Country, what awaits her is only death. I think you should be able to do that. The old man coughed again, and Yu Tang hurriedly handed over the water.
Xiao Yun is the granddaughter of the old man.
"They're not far yet, are they?" When Yu Tang heard this, his face gradually became ugly, his fists clenched, and he asked the old man word by word. Between the words, the murderous opportunity was revealed.
"Yes...... But boy, remember, be cautious in your words and deeds, cough cough ......"
"You lie down first, I'll save her" Yu Tang knew that the situation was urgent, and even opened the key to Yue Shi in his heart.
"Arsenal, open."
"Tracking weapons, traces of cause and effect, track the target by collating the causal line of the target by the user touching the items related to the tracking target. The longer an item is away from the target, the worse it will become. ”
The hut was cleaned by agents from the Eagle Falcon Country, and Yu Tang couldn't find anything related to Xiao Yun here. Suddenly, he took out the last baked cake that Xiao Yun gave him from his arms......
"Fuzzy location, on." Yu Tang's left hand emitted a golden light, and then, a vague red line burst out from his hand, pointing in one direction.
"Orientation successful."
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the jungle, a group of people from the Eagle Falcon Country was moving quickly. Among them was a strong man with a petite maiden on his back. The girl's size was like that of a rabbit and a brown bear. At this moment, her breathing was even, and her chest was rising and falling steadily, but her eyes were closed and there was no expression on her face.
Xiao Yun was sedated and sedated.
"How do I feel like I'm being targeted by a dangerous beast......" Beside the strong man, a thin man suddenly stopped and looked around vigilantly.
"Don't be suspicious all the time, Number Three. We've cleaned the house and the surroundings so that no one can spot us. The strong man said.
"Number 1, we've been working together for so many years, you should know that. My instinct was never missed. The thin man suddenly stopped, took a cigarette out of his pocket, and inhaled it to himself.
"We'll see you at the α meeting point, just waiting for you for 1 hour." Said the man known as Number 1. He didn't care about No. 3 who was left behind, but sped up and led the team to quickly disappear from No. 3's field of vision.
And No. 3 took a deep puff of his cigarette, looked up at the sky, and after estimating the direction, he suddenly found an open place and stuck the cigarette butt that was about to burn out on the ground. After that, Number 3 took a breath and quickly began to disguise himself. In a matter of minutes, it becomes one with the entire forest.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Yu Tang followed the guidance of the red thread and quickly approached Xiao Yun by relying on the key of time. After a flash, he stopped abruptly. Because he saw a cigarette butt stuck in the ground in the clearing in the forest, still burning.
"Target found, location confirmed." No. 3 crawled in the bushes not far away, and gently pressed the button on the headset, and the whole team immediately received the message. The speed of progress has skyrocketed!
Yu Tang saw the cigarette butt standing on the ground, and just wanted to squat down to see what the clues were, but the alarm of the key to the time suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Alert, the target will move away faster, and the tracking failure time will be advanced."
When Yu Tang heard this alarm, he didn't care so much, so he immediately set off. His figure, in the eyes of No. 3, disappeared in an instant.
"Yu Tang disappeared from my sight not long ago, and the last direction he faced before disappearing was your forward path. Based on the lessons learned last time, I suggest that you run separately. Number 1, I suggest you give up that little girl. No. 3 was also the first time to encounter this situation, he took out his binoculars, carefully searched around and found no trace of Yu Tang, and then whispered to the headphones.
"Roger!" The headset heard the responses of the various team members. And No. 1's response was to refuse to leave Xiao Yun behind, on the grounds that he wanted to challenge Yu Tang!
No. 3 knows the strength of No. 1, and he chooses to believe him at the moment.
However, a few minutes later, just as 3rd was preparing to evacuate, a murmur came from his headphones.
“……”
No. 3 frowned, checked the various lines, and found that it was No. 1's headphones that were abnormal.
"What's going on?" He asked eagerly as he opened the dedicated passage to Number 1.
"You're the one who stuck that cigarette butt in the ground, right? Today I will let you live, but next time, none of you will be able to escape. In the headphones, Yu Tang's voice came!
"What did you do with Number 1?" Number 3 asked, trying his best to keep his composure.
"It's just a knockout. It's a good thing you didn't hurt her, otherwise, none of you would have been able to run away today. After this sentence came from the headset, the communication was cut off. Yu Tang stomped on the earphones, immediately called up the map from the key of the time, and after turning off the Law of Cause and Effect No. 1, he rushed towards the nearest village with Xiao Yun on his back.
