Chapter 303 Catching a turtle in a urn

These are photos of suspicious individuals from the past few days. Take a break.

In the lounge, Lin Jue was cleaning his makeup while looking at the text message Chen Fu had sent him.

The message contained photos of several men acting suspiciously and loitering in an amusement park. Among them, Lin Jue recognized a familiar figure – the menacing-looking man he had encountered on his first day at work.

This man has been loitering near the amusement park for several days in a row, so he must be someone who's scouting the area in advance to provide information for the new world.

"I didn't expect my intuition about the New World members to be so accurate. But these guys all look fierce and menacing; they're definitely not good people. It's true what they say, appearances reflect the heart. Those who have done all sorts of bad things are extremely ugly, unlike me..."

Lin Jue washed his face with water and was about to reply to Chen Fu's message when the other party suddenly called: "New World must have sensed something. They may know that we are protecting you in secret, and they just created three strange events at the same time."

"I suspect they're trying to lure our investigation team away, a diversionary tactic, before making their move against you!"

“They probably won’t make a move for now.” Lin Jue switched hands to answer the phone. “They’re probably just testing the waters. They probably know about the shortage of personnel in the Inspection Division, but they don’t know if the information about the missing investigators is true or false. So they’ll need to verify the truth of the matter at first. Only when they’re sure it’s true will they make a move against me.”

"There are three cases now, and it could be five tomorrow. They will take action when they confirm that the audit department is understaffed."

"Okay, be careful these next few days. The Firefly Squad can't handle this alone, so Minister Bai and I need to leave temporarily. Kyuhara sent a team to support us a while ago, but they were dismissed for some reason. The Kyuhara Inspection Division is now ordering a thorough investigation into this matter." Chen Fu gave a few words of advice and then hurriedly hung up the phone and left.

Lin Jue coughed lightly, put the phone back in his pocket, and sat down in his chair to think about the next plan. So far, all of New World's actions were within his expectations. The only thing he was still unsure about was when the other party would choose to make their move.

"I need to find some time to go back to Yangtao Street and get Fu Yu out of hiding in the amusement park. To be absolutely sure, New World will definitely try every means to get the two of them away when they make their move. At that time, the only person I can rely on is myself."

Lin Jue stood up and slowly walked out of the circus. It was already getting dark, and there were hardly any people left in the amusement park.

A pool of blood crawled towards Lin Jue from the dark corner, transforming into a blood shadow and disappearing into his pocket: "The guys who were keeping watch have left, but I saw them secretly setting up something. It seems to be some kind of magical artifact, probably a magical artifact to seal off an area."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Lin Jue nodded slightly. Although Blood Shadow's strength had temporarily weakened, its small size and ability to change forms made it perfect for spying.

Lin Jue had noticed the suspicious-looking people in the photo a long time ago, and he had also sent out Blood Shadow to keep an eye on them. In the past few days, whatever those guys did was under his control.

"Aren't you going to destroy that strange artifact? If they really make a move, they can seal this place off, and then there will be no way to escape." Blood Shadow was a little puzzled; Lin Jue's reaction was too calm.

"Why would we want to destroy it? Wouldn't destroying it just alert them?" Lin Jue shook his head. He had no such idea. The New World was much more cautious this time than last time. If they were scared off this time, they might completely lose the opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

As long as everything proceeded as he anticipated, Lin Jue had no intention of doing anything unnecessary. What he needed to do now was to make ample preparations so that, when the New World thought everything was going smoothly and was ready to launch its operation, he could deliver the most devastating blow. The New World wanted to trap them like turtles in a jar, but little did they know that they were the ones who had fallen into the jar, waiting to be slaughtered.

……

At 11 p.m., Lin Jue left Yangtao Street. After confirming that no one was around, he changed from Zhou Yue's appearance to Sun Jiankang and walked up to the apartment building.

Inside the room, Sun Jiankang's father was still cleaning. Not only today, but in the past few days, the old man would quietly appear every now and then, clean the house, and then quietly return to the portrait.

By the light, Lin Jue noticed that the old man's figure seemed to have become somewhat illusory, as if it might disappear at any moment.

“Obsessions can’t stay in this world for long, but he has been there for several years, which is a miracle in itself.” He Wen appeared beside Lin Jue: “He has done enough for his son, and his obsession is fading. He will soon disappear.”

"Is there any way to make him exist longer? For example, would it be possible to make him eat monsters and increase his strength so that he could exist for a longer period of time?" Lin Jue asked.

"He's just a lingering obsession in the world, not even a weirdo. How can he improve his strength? You can imagine him as a holographic image playing on a loop in a specific area. You can see him, but he can't see you."

He Wen shook her head, then looked at Lin Jue with a complicated expression: "Do you want to save him?"

"I just don't want such a good father to disappear from the world like this." Lin Jue smiled. "I've seen too many fathers who are worse than animals, abusing their sons and killing their partners, so I wanted to keep this old man alive."

Upon hearing the word "father," He Wen's expression subtly changed. As she spent more and more time in the mortal world, more and more memories surfaced, and the image of her father became increasingly vivid in her mind. She remembered many things about He Ping.

But she still couldn't let it go, and was still bothered by He Ping's indifference when she was arrested, even though that wasn't his intention.

Lin Jue noticed the change in He Wen's expression, reached out and patted her head. This time, the little girl didn't dodge.

“He hasn’t replied to me yet, but I roughly know where he is. Once this matter is settled, I’ll take you to see him.”

He Wen didn't speak, but just stared quietly at the busy old man. After a long while, she said lightly, "Whatever."

After saying that, she immediately crawled back into her raincoat: "Perhaps you could try putting him inside the raincoat. As long as he doesn't repeat the same thing, his obsession might not disappear."

Put it inside a raincoat?
Lin Jue sighed helplessly. Getting inside the raincoat required the other person's consent, but the old man couldn't see him, and they couldn't communicate. How could he possibly get inside the raincoat? (End of Chapter)
