In these situations, the difficulty of seizing the spacetime anchor point increases.
Therefore, Yang De's goal for He Ao was to do his best, and if he couldn't succeed, to give up decisively.
Of course, He Ao also had some other arrangements, but whatever the arrangements, a suitable point of introduction was needed.
The spatiotemporal anchor point is one of the most suitable points of introduction.
According to the information Yang De gave him, the spacetime anchor point is very special. As long as you are around this anchor point or touch this anchor point, you can clearly feel the existence of the ruins.
After eating and drinking his fill, He Ao bought a bottle of Coke and then started strolling around the street.
The current problem is how to find the spacetime anchor point.
Yang De provided the range of the possible location of the passage determined by the research institute, which is roughly in the southern part of Ellen City.
Based on past experience, the spacetime anchor point will appear within this range, and it will likely appear within the next day or two.
He Ao arrived rather late. Moonlight wields considerable influence here and is likely already searching for time-space anchors.
It all comes down to luck.
However, it seems that Moonlight has not yet obtained a spacetime anchor.
Although the Republic of Ruodan was an extension of the Tia Empire's sphere of influence, it was located in the western lands, far from the Tia Empire's homeland.
If Moonlight were to obtain the spacetime anchor, her first reaction would undoubtedly be to find a way to transport it back to the Tia Empire, ensuring its safety and preventing it from being stolen.
This would certainly alert the research institute's intelligence network within the Tia Empire.
Furthermore, two of Moonlight's personnel, who appeared to be C-level leaders, were eliminated by He Ao last night, so there might not be enough people to search for the spacetime anchor point now.
In conclusion, He Ao speculates that the spacetime anchor point has most likely not yet been discovered.
However, the Republic of Ruodan is not only inhabited by people of the Moonlight, but also by people of the World Tree and the Dawn.
There's even a possibility that other smaller supernatural organizations might get wind of it and emerge.
They may not be unaware of information about time and space anchors.
The current situation is basically a mess.
He Ao drank
He took a sip of Coke.
If the location of this timeline anchor is simple, just somewhere that is easy to find, then it's simply a matter of luck.
From a probabilistic point of view, in this situation, the more people there are, the more places they can search, and the greater the probability of finding it. Research institutes with few people and limited resources are at a disadvantage.
It's not like he's completely at a disadvantage. He Ao can also keep an eye on those organizations and see if he can be the one to reap the benefits.
The more powerful a force is, the muddier the waters become, and the greater the chance of someone taking advantage of the chaos.
Of course, it would be even more interesting if the time-space anchor point were hidden in a particularly hard-to-find place.
He Ao hadn't walked far when he saw a cordoned-off area not far ahead, which appeared to be a secluded alley.
Even from this distance, He Ao could still smell a faint odor of blood.
Outside the cordon stood a familiar face to He Ao, the military police captain who had just visited the martial arts school.
He Ao went into the convenience store next door, exchanged some cash with his credit card, bought two packs of the most expensive cigarettes, and then walked towards the military police captain.
"Brother, what happened?"
He Ao handed over the cigarette.
The military police captain turned his head and glanced at He Ao.
He was deeply impressed by this young man from the Middle Kingdom who had 'fired in self-defense' at such a young age and spoke fluent Tia Empire language. He took the cigarette from He'ao, opened it, lit one, and put it in his mouth.
"It's a murder case, nothing to see here. Let's go, don't linger around here."
"Ok."
He Ao smiled and nodded, taking the opportunity to glance at the alley behind the military police captain.
At that moment, several military police officers were collecting evidence and conducting investigations in the alley.
A blurry humanoid corpse lay on the ground, its surface covered in blood.
The alley was dark; even at midday, there was hardly any light.
Judging from the way the deceased fell, it appears he tripped while running. And then he never got up again.
He Ao briefly activated his super memory and glanced at the details in the alley.
The deceased's soul had completely dissipated, which was not the normal rate at which the soul dissipates after death. In the dried blood on the ground, there was a small area where the traces were different from the rest.
He combined these different traces in his mind, and they looked like some kind of writing, some kind of writing left by the dead.
He turned to say goodbye to the military police captain and continued walking forward. At the same time, he turned on his phone, opened the translator, and typed in the words by hand.
This is the local language of Ruodan.
The translator quickly translated these characters into Middle Chinese.
It's here.
Chapter 501 Is this reasonable? (Mega chapter, please vote with monthly tickets)
It's here?
Who is 'it'? Some kind of monster? Or some kind of mysterious phenomenon?
This sentence gives the impression that something is chasing after the deceased.
Combined with the fact that the deceased's soul dissipated in a way that defied common sense, He Ao had reason to believe that the deceased was killed by some kind of 'supernatural power'.
This is the first case related to the supernatural that Heo encountered in Ellen City.
He didn't know if it was because he was lucky, or because such extraordinary phenomena were already very common in Ellen City.
If it's the latter, then that's not good news. The prevalence of extraordinary phenomena must be supported by a large amount of extraordinary energy, and such powerful extraordinary energy is very likely to attract something indescribable.
After all, not long ago, an 'angel' attempted to descend into the main world via the Verola.
As they approached the ruins, the indescribable things within them, things that had never been touched by humans before, also took notice of the world beyond the ruins.
Thinking of this, He Ao shrugged, hoping he was just overthinking things.
He took a few steps forward, and when he estimated that he had almost disappeared from the sight of the military police captain, he followed the flow of people and turned into a small alley.
This alley is very remote, and there aren't many people there.
He Ao took out his phone, opened the map, roughly estimated his location, and then walked into the depths of the alley. He turned slightly along the alley and walked to the side of an old building.
The buildings in the southern part of Ellen are generally not tall, mostly around six or seven stories.
The old building in front of him was only six or seven stories high.
He Ao walked a few steps, found the building's drainpipe, grabbed it, and gently lifted himself up.
He then quickly climbed up the drainpipe, and just before reaching the rooftop, he stepped on the rusty security bars of a seventh-floor resident's window, leaped, and somersaulted onto the rooftop.
He took a few steps forward and reached the other side of the old building.
Looking down from here, you can see the alley where the 'case' occurred.
Although the military police captain didn't say it, he was actually wary of him, after all, he had just 'killed' Aleiro.
Although it was clearly a self-defense counterattack, and it had already passed through Hong Long's 'private chat'.
However, this did not prevent the military police captain from classifying Heo as a dangerous element.
In this situation, if He Ao wanted to go directly to the crime scene, he would inevitably be stopped by the military police captain, so he had to take a roundabout approach.
He was now standing on the seventh floor, which was actually farther from the crime scene than when he was chatting with the military police captain.
However, the view here is significantly better than before; looking down from above, you can see the entire alleyway in its entirety.
He briefly activated his super memory, taking in all the traces of this alley.
The deceased fell about three or four meters from the exit, his flesh and blood already mangled, as if he had been shattered by some terrifying force.
The ground and walls were splattered with blood, and a forensic doctor was squatting on the ground examining the body.
He Ao's gaze followed the alley behind the deceased.
The deep alley was very dimly lit,
With the help of hypermemory, He Ao was able to barely see the state behind him.
Behind the deceased, there were some relatively obvious footprints, but they all belonged to the same person and appeared to have been left by the deceased.
Apart from the deceased's footprints, there were no other signs of life in the alley.
Was the deceased being chased by something unseen?
Or did the murderer cleverly cover up their tracks?
He Ao withdrew his gaze, straightened up, and moved very quietly, making almost no sound.
If the noise attracts the attention of the military police below, it will be troublesome.
At that moment, his gaze paused.
This rooftop has a relatively low parapet wall. You have to stand in front of the parapet wall and lean your upper body over it to see the scene below.
He Ao was standing on one side of the parapet, his gaze fixed on a spot a meter or two away from him.
There, there was a footprint so shallow that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.
The footprints were fresh; it seemed that just minutes before Heo arrived, the owner of these footprints was standing here, watching the busy military police below.
He walked over, stared at the footprint, and then glanced at the entire rooftop.
On this rooftop, there was only one pair of shallow footprints; there were no other signs of human activity anywhere else.
The person who once stood here seems to have vanished 'suddenly' without leaving any trace.
He Ao raised his head, looked up at the sky, and seemed to be deep in thought.
He rolled down the stairs from the other side and disappeared into the dark alleyway.
