Chapter 116 – The fire in the palm

"Run away?"

Wu Yong was stunned.

The azure sky opened up, and countless raindrops fell.

Song Ci, who had previously faced a rain of bullets alone, chose to run away with just a slight movement?

Qi Lu also did not expect this. He silently lifted the sniper rifle and stood up slowly, standing in the falling rain. After the purple silver bullets missed, he knew that this confrontation was not going to be easy. He had even prepared for the worst.

Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

In a confrontation between transcendent beings, filling the gap in strength with numbers required a huge sacrifice.

Judging from the ghostly body technique that the Crow had just displayed... if they were to fight up close, almost no one could be his match. If they really wanted to stop this number one strongman of the Beitang, many of the brothers who had come to the riverbank tonight would die.

"He doesn't want to confront the 'Sky Curtain', so he chose to run away... We can't let him get away like this!"

Wu Yong was the first to react. He drew his long knife and ran towards the river, cutting through the night fog. He shouted loudly, "Follow me across the river!"

The azure sky flickered with arcs of light, and the falling raindrops froze in an instant. These "water droplets" that were clearly controlled by someone seemed to freeze time, suspended clearly above the river, closely attached to it.

As Wu Yong's voice fell!

Countless water droplets boiled and rolled, converging towards the center of the river, forming a straight line.

The rainwater formed a bridge...

Wu Yong took a step, and the water bridge was extremely sturdy. It only left a slightly downward dent when stepped on, and it quickly recovered with great elasticity. The man in the black windbreaker ran extremely fast, with his coat parallel to the surface of the river, like a giant black bird crossing the river. Behind him, the convoy quickly started, like a group of off-road horses hitting a muddy pool, with the rough tires heavily pounding on the water bridge, emitting white mist.

The sky curtain was extending towards the distance.

Being able to cover a large area of the river... was already a terrifying ability. Even high-level transcendent beings like Deep Sea could not use their powers at will. Mortals always had limits.

This extended sky curtain was doing its best to cover the figure in front.

And the price to pay was... the rear of the sky curtain was forced to retreat. The overall coverage area of this curtain had been stretched to the maximum, and it could shatter at any moment.

The one who controlled the "Sky Curtain", the number one transcendent being among Chen San's four disciples, had never shown himself, but it was certain that he was among the convoy. This was a very clever move. Under the cover of this curtain, the weather was controlled, and Wu Yong and Qi Lu's side had an absolute home advantage. Before knowing the Crow's true ability, the controller of the sky curtain should be stationed in the rear.

But the biggest problem was that in order to maintain the sky curtain, the convoy had to keep up with the Crow's speed.

Wu Yong, who was speeding across the surface of the river, had a shadow lingering on his forehead. The more he chased the Crow, the stronger his ominous premonition became.

The fog on the river was too thick, and many people had lost their visibility. They had to rely on the guidance of the "Sky Curtain" to find their direction. Old San's "Eagle Eye" was in an overdrawn state and needed some time to recover.

The Crow's speed was fast, and it had never changed from the beginning... like a tireless ostrich.

He did not cross the river.

Instead, he continued to run along the center of the river towards the desolate downstream.

Unfathomable, was he really running at full speed, or was he playing with his opponents?

This strategy was undoubtedly effective.

Because some people had already started to fall behind... It was difficult for the engines to withstand prolonged periods of overloading at full speed. Once they overheated and exploded, they would be directly thrown out of the high-speed moving sky curtain domain.

And the result of falling behind was simple.

Outside the sky curtain domain, the river would no longer form a water bridge.

Wu Yong had already realized.

From the moment he decided to step into the river, the initiative had changed. A group of lone wolves decided to hunt their prey, thinking that the other party was a lion and would welcome a fierce battle, but they did not expect that the other party was actually a fox, turning around and fleeing, and setting up layers of traps.

So the deeper they went, the more they found themselves in a quagmire.

...

...

The South Bay Building, which was on par with Huazhi, had a total of thirty-nine floors.

This was the main base of the Southern Hall of the Sincere Heart Society, and its strategic layout was almost identical to that of Huazhi. This was also the fundamental reason why Zhao and Chen, the two big figures, could trust each other... the other party's deployment was within their sight.

In fact, there were a total of three seats for the senators.

Due to certain considerations... only two people sat on the three seats in the capital. This was the best result for everyone at the moment, because if another senator appeared, the balance would be broken.

"If the layout of the South Bay Building is similar to that of Huazhi, then aside from the thirty-nine floors above ground, there should be another ten floors underground..."

"Which floor is the closed-circuit mainframe that stores the information of the Sincere Heart Society?"

Gu Shen was feeling a bit of a headache.

He had already arrived at the South Bay Building and was now standing at the farthest end of the street, looking at this slender high-rise building. Under the reflection of the lights, it exuded a cold and sharp feeling.Because Cui Zhongcheng took me to the underground of Huazhi.

So at first, Gu Shen guessed... important things must be buried under the building.

But this guess was quickly denied by him.

Gu Shen has only been to the underground of Huazhi Building.

Because it involves the operation of the Transcendent world, everything here is managed by Deep Sea... If the idea of designing a closed-circuit host is to conceal Deep Sea, evade the connection, then this host should not be buried underground.

This "secret" should be placed above ground.

Of course.

This is just a guess.

"There are thirty-nine floors above ground..."

This closed-circuit host usually does not need to work, it only needs to have independent power supply, be placed in a specific area, and maintain writing and recording during specific time periods.

As long as this can be ensured, it can appear anywhere!

Many things... can only be tried in a very stupid way.

Finding the closed-circuit host is one of them.

The defense of Nanwan Building tonight will be very loose, so this is the best opportunity to find Shi Li's introducer.

It's worth taking this risk to play against the owner of the compass.

It is worth noting that even though Jiangtan has attracted a large number of Transcendents, Nanwan Building still has a very strict and comprehensive protection measures, and his actions are very difficult.

Fortunately, Gu Shen has prepared a relatively complete action plan.

Gu Shen silently lowered his hat.

He walked towards Nanwan Building.

Four or five invisible flames swept out from Gu Shen's forehead.

Then, in a short distance after that, the passers-by who passed by Gu Shen stopped in their tracks, standing in place, looking at the young man with a strange expression, their eyes gradually becoming confused.

...

...

"Please wait, we need to verify your identity..."

Before arriving at Nanwan Building, the 24-hour security personnel responsible for guarding stopped Gu Shen.

"I'm just here to get a document..."

Gu Shen smiled gently and raised his head slowly.

After a moment of eye contact.

"..."

The security guard's eyes became confused, and he slowly returned to his original position, looking numb.

The door of the building slowly opened.

Gu Shen did not enter, just squinted his eyes and discreetly raised his head.

He saw the monitoring positions installed in the building... His previous conversation with the security personnel should not show any abnormalities in the monitoring. There are many people entering and leaving Nanwan Building every day, and no one can recognize every face.

He just talked and then stepped back.

And the security personnel also returned to their original positions, and this scene looked like a refusal of an entrant.

So, at this moment, the person on duty in the control room should not have noticed anything wrong with his appearance.

But from this moment on.

The plan has begun!

"Be prepared, as soon as you enter the building, you will be exposed soon, so before you are exposed, you need to act quickly, find the host, and then leave..."

Gu Shen took a deep breath and calmed down.

"I need to start with the most likely thirty-nine floors... but directly entering the thirty-nine floors will attract attention."

"So... I need a little help."

Gu Shen turned and left.

Soon, several familiar figures appeared in front of him, four or five young men and women hurriedly walked towards the building, they looked numb, and entered the building without any obstruction.

And they came to the elevator of Nanwan Building... a total of twelve elevators.

With the arrival of these people, the control room has become alert... it is not working hours now.

Although half of Nanwan Building is still in overtime, it is rare for so many people to enter at the same time and be scattered at different elevator entrances.

"9527, 9527—"

There was no response in the earpiece.

The security guard at the entrance of the building stood blankly in front of the door, ignoring the sound coming from the communicator.

Then.

These men and women entered different elevators, and each person pressed a different floor.

Then they looked up and calmly stared at the monitor.

Then—

With a "swish"!

The screens in the control room corresponding to the elevators of these people dimmed one after another.

The elevators slowly went up.

Gu Shen, standing outside the building, pressed tightly against the wall, standing at the four corners of the monitoring, his face somewhat pale.

This was the first time he let the flames leave his body and go such a long distance.

Entering Nanwan Building is not a complicated plan.

He used the ability of "Hypnosis" from the third level of the spiritual system to apply simple psychological suggestions to random passers-by.

After hypnotizing the gatekeeper of Nanwan Building, these people can enter the building unimpeded, and they only need to enter the elevator and press a random floor button.

The wrong information will be conveyed.

The attention of the control room will be attracted by these people... and what he needs to do is very simple, retract the flames, and then burn the elevator compartment and the entrance monitoring of the building.Gu Shen stretched out his palm, his psychic power unfurling like strands of fishing line, beginning to reel in!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

Wisp after wisp of invisible, slender flames were snatched from the foreheads of passersby, these wisps of flame instantly plunging into the camera lens, the intense heat causing the control room to lose its vision in an instant.

Eventually, the fishing lines formed by psychic power drew tight, and the seemingly sturdy alloy walls of the elevator were scorched and perforated within seconds.

Ten seconds after the surveillance went dark.

The dispersed flames once again converged outside the building, gathering back into the palm of Gu Shen's hand.
