Life Dungeon Game

In the taxi leaving the martial arts school, He Ao raised his hand and gently waved it, following the trajectory of Aliphia's punches.

A surge of energy flowed through his arms.

For He Ao, who possesses super memory and divine consciousness, figuring out the core energy flow of the Alifia Fist Technique and then making improvements to make it compatible with himself is not a difficult task.

However, he has no intention of learning Alifia's boxing style.

Stones from other hills, can learn.

The breathing techniques in Alifia's boxing style were no longer useful to him, but the method of channeling energy into his limbs gave him a different perspective.

In the absence of energy, martial arts practitioners in the main world have also developed completely different paths to improve their combat power:

By mobilizing the body's energy to a specific area, one can rapidly enhance their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

He Ao lowered his hand.

Indeed, the martial arts of the main world are not without merit. Even in such barren soil, the martial arts sages were still able to create brilliant sparks of wisdom.

Using this idea, He Ao might be able to create his own fighting style.

However, he still needs more fighting techniques as a reference.

Of course, he can now barely use this idea to roughly mobilize energy. He estimated that this rough mobilization could increase his instantaneous burst power by 10% to 15%.

If he created a complete fighting style, the improvement would likely be even greater.

The taxi stopped, and He Ao temporarily suppressed his thoughts. His primary goal now was to resolve the matter of the Primitive Church.

He got out of the taxi and looked at the old building in front of him.

This is the residence of the burly man named Andrew, the second of the four people Li Le identified as potentially belonging to the World Tree.

Since the first Rani was confirmed dead, Heo went directly to find the second person.

According to the information provided by Li Le, Andrew lives in the room on the left side of the seventh floor.

He quickly went upstairs and knocked on the door, but received no response.

Response.

He used his divine sense to pass through the door and quickly scanned the room.

There was no one in the house.

After a moment's thought, Heo went downstairs and found an old man living on the first floor. He opened Andrew's photo and asked in broken Rhodanese where Andrew had gone.

"Ah, you mean that big guy?"

The old man sat on a small stool, blinked his half-closed eyes, and spoke slowly, "I haven't seen him for many days. He used to greet me every day when he went to work... Are you his friend? Has he gone home?"

The old man spoke with a heavy local accent. He Ao only vaguely understood what the old man meant after some guessing. He shook his head and replied softly, "I don't know. I'm looking for him too."

He Ao left the old building and headed to his next destination.

The residence of a woman in her thirties named Lyanna.

The place was empty, and the children around said they hadn't seen Lyanna for several days.

Andrew and Lyanna have both disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead.

Heo went again to the residences of Rani and Gade, who were confirmed dead, both of which were sealed off by moonlight.

The military police captain has given the information about Rani's residence to Heo, and it seems that no one has returned to Gade's house for many days.

Of the four people Li Le gave, two are missing and two are dead.

After a moment's thought, Heo returned to Oak Street.

The ruins where the club was located had been sealed off. He glanced at the Moonlight guards standing guard not far away, retreated to the street corner of Oak Street, opened a photo on his phone, and began to ask them one by one.

“I’ve seen this person before,”

The water vendor at the street corner glanced at the photo of Lani in He Ao's hand. "This girl is quite pretty. She rushed into the street around nine o'clock the night before last, and then it seemed like she was chased out by someone not long after."

The day before yesterday was the day Rani was murdered.

Chapter 512 Let some people live until next week (Super long chapter)

Rani has been to Oak Avenue before?

Was she drawn here? Or was she looking for someone?

He Ao's mind raced. He picked out a bottle of water and asked, "How much is this, boss?"

"Five yuan," the shopkeeper glanced at He Ao, "Young man, your Danish is quite good."

"I'm still learning and not very skilled yet," He Ao said, paying the bill and waving the water in his hand. "Thank you, boss."

Then he turned and walked to the end of the street.

At this moment, a young man walked over. He had the appearance of someone from the Tia Empire and spoke fluent Tia language. He asked the shopkeeper for a pack of cigarettes in Tia language.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and watched He Ao's disappearing figure, muttering to himself, "That person..."

"Fifty in total, what happened to that person?"

The boss looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"His back view looks like one of those heroes on TV,"

A wisp of smoke obscured the young man's face. He smiled and said, "It's a pity that heroes don't live long."

He casually pulled out a fifty-yuan note, threw it on the ground, and walked back into the depths of Oak Street, smoking a cigarette.

The boss squatted down, picked up the money from the ground, dusted it off, and put it into the money box.

He looked up at the sign on the stall that read, "If you encounter any suspicious persons, please contact us immediately...", then reached out and tore it off, placing it under his buttocks.

Vilant Street

This is an old street in the western part of the southern part of Ellen City. The area where Li Le determined the location of Rani and Gade's shared 'secret' is located is near this street.

When the two enter this area, they usually wear makeup to conceal their identities, and they do not enter the area at the same time.

Vilant means gardenia in Ruodanese. It is also one of the most chaotic streets in Ellen City, a melting pot of all sorts of people. Li Le's people cannot fully exert their abilities here.

Moreover, Rani and Gade have strong counter-surveillance capabilities, so Li Le's investigators lost track of them every time he sent them out.

Furthermore, Li Le was not too willing to reveal his presence, since the research institute did not have much influence here, and he needed to be cautious in everything he did.

Since these two individuals did not actually pose a threat to the research institute's interests, Li Le did not spend much effort investigating their secrets.

This also resulted in He Ao not having detailed information about these two secrets in the documents he received.

Although He Ao now has a general idea of ​​the secret between the two based on the information and previous investigations, he still needs to get a definite answer and see if there are any other clues.

Finding Li Le should take some time, but for this kind of investigation, it's probably more reliable to find a local expert.

The more chaotic a place is, the more hidden order exists; there are always people standing in the shadows maintaining this chaotic order.

The so-called chaos is simply that the people here do not obey the overt order.

He picked up his phone and made a call to the military police captain.

Half an hour later, a thin man with shaved sides, hair standing on end in the middle, and a scar on his face walked over.

He looked at He Ao and greeted him with a smile, "Are you He Ao, my friend? Captain Antway's friend?"

Antway is the name of the military police captain.

He Ao looked at it

He looked at the man and nodded slightly.

“Captain Antway’s friend is my friend,”

The man smiled, walked to He Ao's side, took out a cigarette, glanced at He Ao's young face, then put it back, and chuckled, "You're here to see someone?"

He showed the man the photos of Rani and Gade.

"Oh, are you a young couple?"

The man smiled. "Leave this to me. In Vilant, finding a truly heinous scoundrel is as difficult as finding a drop of water in the ocean, but finding someone who seems to be from a respectable family is as easy as finding a lotus flower in the mud."

"Hey bro, can I have your contact information? Wait for me a minute."

He Ao took out a local mobile phone that he had just bought on the way and exchanged contact information with the man.

The man then left.

He Ao wandered around the area for a while, then turned on his phone, located the vicinity of the Trenk area, and began searching for information about the area.

The Trenk region is the area where Li Le identified the World Tree Ruodan branch. This region is very large, covering tens of square kilometers, but there shouldn't be many World Tree members here, and even fewer core members in the branch. The branch itself shouldn't be very large either.

Therefore, finding a branch of the World Tree in this area is not an easy task.

He quickly flipped through the pages, browsing descriptions of the iconic buildings in the Trenk district and various streets.

Time passed by, and about two hours after they parted, the skinny man contacted He Ao.

He met him at the entrance to Vilant Street.

“Brother, found them,” the skinny man said with a cigarette dangling from his lips. “These two guys you’re looking for are pretty good at disguising themselves. It took me a little effort, but their aura is just too eye-catching, like a bright light in the dark. They’re too conspicuous, and quite a few of the gangsters have their eyes on them.”

"But those two haven't shown up for a day or two. They haven't returned their apartments yet. Do you want to go check on them?"

The word "翻高头" (fān gāo tóu) is found in dictionaries; it refers to thieves who break into other people's houses to steal.

"Then it's hard work for you."

He Ao took out a roll of banknotes from his pocket and casually stuffed it into the man's hand.

"It's not hard work, we're all friends, it's only right."

The man responded with a smile, casually putting the money into his pocket. His smile grew even warmer. "Their house is in that building over there. Come with me, brother."

As he spoke, he led He Ao deeper into the street.

He Ao quickly followed.

The two walked for about ten minutes and entered an old building, stopping at the door of the innermost room on the fifth floor.

The man pulled a key from his waist, inserted it into the keyhole, then turned to He Ao and smiled. "Sometimes I do some 'agency' work, helping people rent out houses or 'clean' them, since some tenants aren't so willing to move out."
