After leaving the conference room, Jiang Zhiyu wandered around the streets for a while before heading to a secluded spot.

The next second, she was already standing on a street corner in Tokyo.

It was still early, and there weren't many people on the street because of the cold weather. She took out the ID she had used last time, had Seventeen change her identity information, and then went to a hotel to check in.

After moving in, she finally unfolded the documents that Zhuge Yunhe had given her to read.

Their public address is on the streets of Tokyo, but I doubt there are any valuable clues there. Turning to the next page, I saw their secret hideout was located near the mountains. Isn't that their so-called sacred mountain over there? It's more than 100 kilometers away.

It was still daylight, making it inconvenient to move around, so Jiang Zhiyu decided to rest for a while.

She took out a deck chair from her spatial storage and sat on the shore, gazing at the sea in a daze. She had been thinking about what to get this time, but seeing the sea in her spatial storage gave her a sudden inspiration. However, it seemed they didn't have anything particularly valuable.

......

By 9 p.m., it was completely dark. Winter nights are exceptionally long in the Northern Hemisphere.

Jiang Zhiyu instantly teleported to the foot of the so-called sacred mountain.

Deep within the dense forest at the foot of the mountain lies their secret research lab, belonging to the Tsuchimikado clan. From the outside, it appears as a secluded courtyard, built along a branch of the sacred mountain range, which they consider their own auspicious land. No one is around; only the night wind whistles through the forest.

She glanced at the villa, but didn't go in. Instead, she turned and sped off towards the northwest of the sacred mountain.

Zhuge Yunhe said that the Zhenmai nail just needs to be driven into the rock strata of the mountain behind the villa. Wasn't their villa built according to the contours of this mountain range?

Jiang Zhiyu raised her hand and asked Seventeen, "Is this place suitable?"

Seventeen scanned the area and said, "Okay, shift it a little further northwest, that's the method Senior Zhuge mentioned, and you won't be ejected."

Jiang Zhiyu nodded. She didn't really understand the rest of the instructions, and she hadn't really remembered what Zhuge Yunhe had said. But there was Seventeen, so she could just follow along and do as he said.

She took out the Pulse-Suppressing Nail, used her wood-elemental power to guide the earth's energy, found the thinnest part of the vein wall, and slowly pushed the nail into the rock layer at an angle. The moment the nail sank into the stone, she felt a cold aura surge out from beneath her feet, only to be quickly swallowed up by the rock layer.

One, two, three...

She used her wood-based ability to push the nail deeper into the rock layer, confirming that she could not see any flaws.

After doing all this, Jiang Zhiyu went to the outer perimeter of the villa again.

A mental scan revealed that there weren't many people in the house, less than 200. Most of them were already fast asleep, and there were only about a dozen ninjas.

There is a basement.

The basement was brightly lit, even though no one was there.

Jiang Zhiyu went straight into the basement.

On the altar was a book. She opened it and saw four ancient characters on the cover: "Secret Measurement of Earth Veins".

This is the kind of secret manual for finding the dragon vein, identifying the ominous signs, and suppressing the evil influences.

Unsure, she put the item into her spatial storage and went back to let Xu Yunzi take a look.

The rest were all ancient books. She flipped through a few at random and found that 60% of them were written in Chinese.

What are we waiting for? Let's put them all into our space!

After wandering around the villa again, Jiang Zhiyu found nothing of value, including books, and went straight back to the hotel.

......

Standing by the hotel window, she suddenly looked towards the coastline.

The docks outside are bustling with activity as containers are being loaded, and the lights are on full display.

Jiang Zhiyu's eyes lit up. Wasn't this a ready-made apology? She didn't need to know what was inside the container; she just wanted the feeling of unpacking a blind box.

What should we do? They're setting up in full swing right now, we can't just go and collect it.

Seventeen then spoke up: "Host, I'll go and cut off all the power in this area. You only have 15 minutes, so collect as much power as you can."

Jiang Zhiyu's eyes lit up: "I knew Seventeen was the most capable."

Seventeen folded its little wings and hovered in front of Jiang Zhiyu: "Host, you finally remember my kindness. But don't forget, there are still two bronze artifacts in the Northwest that haven't been collected, and you haven't shown any intention of setting off."

Jiang Zhiyu touched her nose: "I really feel like now is not the time to take it; it's like there's a voice stopping me."

Seventeen spread his wings in confusion, flew up, and hovered on her shoulder: "Then it means the time isn't right yet. Let's wait and see. I'm not in a hurry."

......

One man, one unification, teleported again and arrived at the coastline.

This is a large container terminal, with piles of containers being transported back and forth.

Suddenly the entire coastline turned dark.

All the workers were stunned. The winter night was so dark, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. The moisture from the sea blocked the moonlight, plunging the whole world into pure darkness.

Jiang Zhiyu activated her spatial abilities and rode a small electric scooter towards the coastline.

They packed as they went, without even bothering to figure out what was in the containers. They just kept loading.

No one noticed, no one gave any warning, the radar did not alarm, and the equipment showed no abnormalities.

Wherever it goes, not a blade of grass grows.

The first ocean-going freighter, fully loaded with containers, vanished into thin air.

The second one, the third one...

They didn't even spare the tower cranes, transport vehicles, and docked transport ships that were loading their containers.

After accelerating and speeding for ten minutes, Jiang Zhiyu covered a full ten kilometers of coastline.

My mental energy is already stretched thin, mainly because these objects are too big.

"Host, you've struck it rich this time. Come on, let's get into the hotel."

He returned to the hotel, panting heavily.

Jiang Zhiyu threw herself onto the bed, took out a cup of spiritual spring water and gulped it down, only then did she feel a little better.

It's time to see her spoils.
