Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 579 Heading to Hope Town

As time went by, after settling Ye Qing in, Ai Liang officially embarked on her European trip.

Ye Qing originally wanted to go along as well.

However, after assessing Ye Qing's combat experience and proficiency in using the seal, Ai Liang rejected her without hesitation.

To put it mildly, Ai Liang felt that Ye Qing still had a lot of room for improvement.

Happy times are always short-lived.

After leaving Ye Qing, Ai Liang reverted to her previous aloof demeanor when she was out in public.

There was no particular reason or negative emotion involved; it's just that over the years, he has gotten used to how things are now and has chosen to accept it.

Just like many people who have completely different faces in front of their best friends and in front of strangers.

Ai Liang would smile at people she cared about, but wouldn't give ordinary classmates, teachers, or acquaintances a second glance.

Because these people are not important to him.

Ai Liang doesn't pay attention to people she doesn't care about, and even if they suddenly pass away one day, she won't feel any emotional fluctuation.

Just as ordinary people don't care whether the flowers and plants in the roadside flowerbeds are about to wither and die.

Ai Liang disguised herself as one of Jia Dong's subordinates, used the other party's citizen card to retrieve the plane ticket, and quietly waited in the first-class lounge.

Through Giss's memories, Ai Liang found one of the locations of the Hai Xin Society's headquarters.

As for why it's one of...

Although the Haixin Society is not as powerful as the Countermeasures Bureau and the Special Bureau, it is still the third largest organization in the world.

The rich have their own way of life, and the poor have their own way of survival.

Since we can't build complete facilities at each base like the Countermeasures Bureau, we might as well use the same set of equipment until the end.

To prevent being wiped out in one fell swoop, Haixin will use all the space transfer devices it purchased at exorbitant prices on key facilities inside the base.

By relocating key facilities in advance, each branch base can become a headquarters.

Ai Liang's destination this time was indeed one of them.

Unfortunately, Giss was not a direct member of the Sea Heart Society and only knew the location of this base.

But that doesn't matter. With so many people in one base, someone must know the locations of the other bases.

Ai Liang specifically applied for a one-month tourist visa.

As long as we follow the clues and dismantle all the bases one by one, the other side will eventually become restless and take the initiative to express their willingness to communicate.

Moreover, judging from Gis's memory, this base, built in a coastal town in Sicily, had been used as the headquarters for many years.

Leaving aside the elusive leader of the Sea Heart Society, the deputy leader, Iron Bucket... no, Bernard, has always been stationed here.

As long as Ai Liang blocks the space immediately, she won't have trouble finding someone to talk to.

Ai Liang boarded the plane right on time.

He brought nothing with him on this long trip except for some necessary documents.

He doesn't look like someone who's going on a long trip at all.

But as the saying goes, money can solve more than 90% of problems, and what Ai Liang has in abundance is money.

You can just buy what you need locally, and throw it away after you're done using it. There's no need to bother bringing it back.

It's just a waste of money at most.

Neither Ai Liang's bank card nor the hermit's secret account are short of money.

After boarding, Ai Liang found her seat, closed the compartment door, and took out her tablet from the locker next to her to turn on the screen in front of her.

This flight goes directly to Sicily without any layovers.

After a flight of more than ten hours, you have to find something to do to pass the time.

As for what to do to pass the time... do you think it's watching movies?
Although Ai Liang was on the plane, her telekinesis was not limited by distance.

After randomly selecting a few classic movies and watching them in a loop, his consciousness traveled to Sicily via telekinesis.

Ai Liang flew to Europe herself, which was much faster than flying by plane.

The reason I chose to fly is because there are some things that don't need to be rushed.

The memories in Geese's mind alone were not enough to piece together the approximate location of the entire base.

Even though he stayed there for several years.

Most people in this world simply look at things; very few know how to observe.

For example, do you count and record how many steps there are from the first floor to your front door every day when you climb the stairs?
After walking down a street, do you remember how many cameras you found in total and their locations?
To completely seal off the entire base, its exact area needs to be determined.

Otherwise, what's the difference between sealing off half the area and eating half and releasing the other half?

Ai Liang's telekinetic power is spreading towards the coastal town called Hope Town.

Instead of immediately using his telekinesis to probe the town, he first slowly extended along the road towards the town, enveloping it.

When Ai Liang's consciousness officially entered the town, she immediately sensed something was amiss.

The entire town was permeated with an aura of curse.

These auras were extremely subtle. If Ai Liang hadn't recently analyzed several cursed sub-bodies and gained a deep understanding of them, it would have been difficult to detect these faint, almost imperceptible auras immediately.

The curse has a very low effect on humans, but it is not entirely without effect. The people in the town do not have any strange adaptive constitutions, and they have lived in this environment for a long time without being negatively affected.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Ai Liang became extremely vigilant.

The residents of this town are not much different from those of other coastal towns on the island; some walk their dogs, while others take a stroll.

The dog owner was chatting with friends, his face beaming.

"Hey Daniel, good morning."

"Good morning, Bob. Are you taking Winter to the beach again today?"

The young man named Daniel glanced at the Cane Corso with its tail between its legs, which was trying to disappear into the bushes, and said, "I don't think it really wants to go out."

"No, I'm going to the activity center to find Winter a playmate."

Bob, holding the dog's leash, scratched his cheek: "I don't know what's wrong with Winter these past few days. He's usually so excited when I take him out."

For the past few days, it has been hiding in its kennel and refusing to come out. I thought it was sick, so I took it to the vet the day before yesterday. But the vet said it seemed like it had seen something it was afraid of.

"What it's afraid of? Could it be that you scared it by watching a horror movie?"

Daniel crouched down and reached out to stroke Winter, who whimpered, lay down, and closed his eyes.

"It looks a bit serious. It usually licks my palm on its own."

Bob shrugged: "Yeah, I took two whole days off from work to be with it but it didn't get better. I thought going out for a walk and being with its companions might help, so I took it out to play today."

After saying their polite goodbyes, the two headed off toward their respective destinations.

Everything was just an ordinary, everyday thing.

But Ai Liang keenly observed the source of the dog's fear.

What it fears is not a particular thing or event, but every "person" it encounters.
