Chapter 76 Sofia, with her captivating charm
Chapter 76 Sofia, with her captivating charm
"No trace of the calamity of foolishness was found in the central region."
In an office belonging to the Calamity Squad at the Royal Reconnaissance Team's base, Su Tu listened to a voice on his desk that sounded like it was coming from a radio, and silently drew an X on the map on the desk with a red pen.
This is an S-class life-related magical tool, and it also serves as a transit point for their communication.
Its ability is also very simple: as long as you connect to the magical fluctuations of this radio using a magical tool, you can make a call.
However, this S-rank magical tool is so rare that not everyone can have one, thus preventing direct communication between team members.
To contact others, one must use a sonic magic device to transmit sound to this radio, and then Su Tu will relay the message to others.
However, the fact that the Empire was able to provide this newly formed Calamity Squad with one is enough to demonstrate the importance that the Empire's high command attaches to this squad.
After all, they were the only ones in the entire base who possessed this one S-class life-use magical tool.
"The southern district is quite large. Since there's no one in the central area, let's go there and assist with the exploration."
Su Tu picked up a magical artifact resembling a seashell and transmitted the instructions to Eve via radio.
This seashell-shaped magical artifact is an A-grade everyday magical artifact, and its effect is similar to that of a telephone.
However, a radio is needed as a relay station to contact others.
Eve was able to transmit the message to the radio using this magical device.
While A-rank magical tools are also very difficult to manufacture, they are not as exaggerated as S-rank magical tools.
Each member of their team had one, so it wasn't a problem.
"Buzz buzz buzz - Received."
After a crackling sound like electricity, Eve's clear voice rang out.
Putting down the seashell magic tool in his hand, Su Tu turned his gaze to the map of the capital city.
After modifying the information of the Fool's Hat through his avatar, he began to multitask, controlling the avatar to be vigilant while controlling his main body to obtain the whereabouts of the Calamity Squad.
According to the information we just received, Eve has completed her search of the central area.
Su Tu asked her to go to the South District to provide support, mainly for two reasons.
One was to lure Eve away, to keep her away from the North District's avatar.
After all, one is in the south and the other in the north; to get from the south district to the north district, one would need to traverse the entire capital.
Even though Eve is a calamity with a powerful physique, it would still take her a considerable amount of time to transform and calmly deal with danger.
As for the second objective, it's even simpler.
The fact that the search of the central area has been completed means that the avatar is not within the central area and has been ruled out.
Because the rest of the Calamity Squad were unaware that the Foolish Calamity was his incarnation.
Therefore, in the eyes of these people, the Foolish Calamity would naturally not know that their squad had begun a city-wide search.
They would never have known that they had divided the capital into districts and searched them separately.
If Su Tu were to control his avatar to hide in the central area at this time, he would be much safer.
Of course, calamities are living things after all; they can move and won't stay in one place.
Therefore, Su Tu does not rule out the possibility that these people might re-examine the central region later.
It didn't matter; he hid only to avoid facing Sophia, the S-rank Calamity who possessed an S-rank magical artifact. He was confident that he could easily escape from anyone else.
As long as he isn't discovered in the North District, he can use the Fool's Hat's abilities to leave unscathed if someone else finds him.
Sophia is in charge of the North District, while Su Tu is hiding in the Central District, where he will not be in danger of being discovered in the short term.
Once the central area is searched again, he can use the terrain to his advantage and hide in other areas, the ones furthest from Sophia's location.
As long as he stays away from the area Sophia is searching, he doesn't need to worry about being discovered.
In the silence, his consciousness began to surge, leaving a small portion to focus on the news here, while the rest flowed into his avatar.
When he opened his eyes, he had already left the hotel and was walking towards the central area.
When he had this idea, he had already used a portion of his consciousness left in the avatar to control the avatar's actions.
After all, the time wasted between taking immediate action and waiting for his consciousness to fully enter the incarnation before taking action would be enough for him to go very far.
After completing the third phase of the mission, he has allocated the attribute points he gained to his Spirit, raising it to A-level.
Unfortunately, using the Fool's Hat consumes a lot of mental energy.
If one's mental strength is not strong enough, the Fool's Hat has no cooldown time, and he will be unable to use it.
Based on the original B-level spirit attribute points, using the Fool's Hat which has been upgraded three times, it is estimated that he will fall into a coma in about ten minutes.
Only A-level attribute points can extend the time to about an hour.
Therefore, his speed attribute remains at B-level, unchanged.
Even with his B-level speed, he can still walk more than ten meters per second.
Before his true consciousness entered his avatar, he was already about four hundred meters away from the hotel.
The sky was dark, and the air was very humid after the rain.
Su Tu stepped through the puddles on the street, splashing water that soaked his trouser legs, and hurried towards the central area at a fast pace.
To conserve his mental energy, he didn't activate the Fool's Hat's ability, but instead used the Solitary Stone to reduce his presence.
However, the consequence of doing so is that he will be 100% exposed once he encounters Sofia.
"I was originally thinking of letting the Calamity Squad capture me once to prove their strength, but now it seems there's no need..."
As Su Tu hurried on his way, he recalled his earlier thoughts, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, but it quickly turned serious again.
The world is so wonderful because the future is always unknown. He, who was originally indifferent to the world, suddenly became interested in it.
For example, the previous thought was to be captured by the Calamity Squad, but now they are hiding and avoiding being caught.
For example, when controlling an avatar to travel to the central area of the capital to avoid Sophia, one might bump into her head-on while on the way...
Su Tu slowly stopped, gently placing his hand on the Fool's hat, his head lowered, and a faint aura of mystery emanated from him.
"Dear Miss Sophia, it's truly an honor to meet you here."
He put the solitary stone into his pocket, took off the Fool's hat, and made a gentlemanly gesture towards the figure not far away.
Just minutes ago, the powerful Sophia slowly walked towards him from the end of the dark street.
Her clothes were beautiful, and her aura was captivating, like a seductive killer drawing people closer.
This S-rank Calamity, possessing an S-rank magical artifact, was created by Su Tu himself, yet it is also the greatest crisis his avatar is currently facing.
Fortunately, he can now use the Fool's Hat. Since the opponent lacks combat experience, he won't be easily captured by the person in front of him.
Of course, it takes a lot of effort.
