Chapter 1196 - 611: Wolf and Sheep
Exposed?
The sudden change made Ji Jue instinctively feel something was wrong.
Although the action hadn't started yet, he had been cautious to this point, and everyone had completed all forms of protection, yet the target started to escape?
So where was the exposure?
In just a short moment, Ji Jue's thoughts raced through his mind, reviewing everything from start to finish, unable to find any flaw, especially with a professional White Deer Hunter like An Ning beside him.
In all the bands and phone messages he monitored, nothing had changed.
Before and after the explosion, there was only one call coming in, it was from a stall on the other side of the market urging his son to make a delivery.
So it was just a coincidence?
The moment he realized it, Ji Jue had already reached out and restrained An Ning, who was eager to move.
"There are too many people, don't act here."
"Yes."
An Ning obediently sat in her seat, but her eyes peered through the anti-spy film on the glass, quietly staring at the fleeing figure in the crowd, full of doubts.
As a White Deer Hunter, identifying the origin was effortless, distinguishing whether it was a wolf or a dog at a glance.
Then the problem arises…
That guy is not a wolf!
Yet, he is not a dog either?
At most, he is merely a mutated transformation of the White Deer lineage, having some mutations but still far from complete.
In the past, An Ning wouldn't even bother looking at someone like him, but now the key is, at this moment when she is fully focused on locking her gaze, it's hard to understand—why does this shoddy piece look completely like a stray dog, yet carries a faint hint of a wolf's scent?
A bit like, but not really, seems to be, but isn't.
This is what Ji Jue has been struggling to understand—whether it is or isn't, what on earth is 'whether it is'?
Even if a wolf's taste is peculiar, the requirements are low, no matter how desperate, it wouldn't favor such a shoddy thing, right?
The bizarre situation at hand is akin to a punk with ghostly tattoos scoring only two hundred points managing to outcompete countless students, getting admitted to Tianmen's top major, equally absurd.
Either have wild connections, or relationships, or both…whatever the case, it's worth digging into.
Fortunately, Uncle and the others chased outside the city, otherwise would this opportunity fall to her?
It must be Ji Jue!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but lean in a little closer again.
This time, in his contemplation, he didn't push her away.
Hooray, Ji Jue approved!
...
Amid the chaotic traffic flow, the van quietly turned into a small alley, silently shuttled, guided by An Ning, following the figure from afar.
Throughout, Tong Shan remained silent, holding his breath, appearing as if in a trance.
His pitch-black pupils revealed a trace of pallor, reflecting fleeting images, a thin wisp of telekinesis extended far into the raging flames, entrusting perception.
It was as if seeing firsthand every detail.
Under the burning flames, numerous tobacco was swept in, billowing smoke continuously surged, various fruity scent oils evaporated, which should have been refreshing, but now the concentration was so high, it became nauseatingly heavy.
His perception reached downwards, further down…following the crack, penetrating beneath the ground, into the profound space disguised beneath the hookah shop.
Underground, tens of meters deep, there is another cavity, a hidden entrance.
Not surprising.
In Tower City, this chaotic place, who doesn't have a cellar and something unsightly, otherwise would risk suspicion of being idle!
At this moment, the basement had already collapsed in the explosion, completely altered, but under the ether eye's tracing, every clue surfaced before him.
Pieces of shattered glass reorganized into a complete profile, charred plastic and iron sheets restored to whole, forming instruments.
Many footprints remained, once bustling extensively.
More importantly, there were corpses, corpses, corpses, corpses, and more corpses. Of monkeys, birds, and even humans…numerous residual hairs and fragments in the flames transformed into charcoal, the former shape indistinguishable.
Clearly, it was a complete laboratory!
Indeed, there's a problem!
Tong Shan already felt a chill running down his spine, his internal alertness continuously rising—the White Country Restoration Front quietly setting up a lab in Tower City for what purpose?
Could it possibly be for benefiting the White Country, benefiting Central Earth?!
Now it seems, it's no wonder an inexplicable explosion occurred, it wasn't that they were exposed, but because the opponent came to destroy evidence!
If Ji Jue hadn't reacted promptly, they might have never discovered what truly happened.
After all…it's too common.
Even excluding bomb vests, things like aging and fire, or explosive uncontrolled, in Tower City, such a ghostly place, are as ordinary as drinking water and eating food.
Years ago, when Huan Yu Heavy Industry's chemical plant exploded, it leveled half a mountain, what does this minor commotion count for?
The initially chaotic locals, upon realizing it wasn't a targeted cleanup plan by the Federation or Empire, quickly returned to calm, resuming their daily routines, buying groceries and meals, selling themselves, taking it as usual.
"That guy is very suspicious, likely problematic, everyone be cautious, and mind your actions."
After hesitating for a moment, Tong Shan glanced at Ji Jue and An Ning, apologizing: "If possible, please try to capture him alive."
