Ten hours later, at eight o'clock in the evening, the sky outside had darkened completely, being enveloped by the impenetrable darkness that conveyed a sense of oppressive atmosphere that was difficult to describe.
It was said that after leaving the hotel, Wu Xian and the others did not immediately go to the next place to stay, but according to the police station internal information provided by Xie Qingwen, they went to several strange and tragic incidents, as if intentionally showing off to Gaoyako, exposing their own whereabouts.
Moreover, during this time, some of the big bosses from Zhong Continent's team pretended to be fierce, pressuring and manipulating the weak and vulnerable Zhu Wen, forcing her to do her job as a decoy. They claimed that if they could lure Gayaeko over, the benefits after the event would be incredibly great!
This play was mainly responsible by Wu Xian and Zhu Wen.
The former showed true emotions, directly switching to the state of training Zheng Zha and others during routine training, playing the role of a cold and domineering team leader vividly, looking just like the real thing and not at all like acting.
The latter, on the other hand, maintained the original image of pitiful and weak, with only the trembling body and closed eyes required. This was almost a natural performance, much better than Zheng Zha who relied solely on shouting for acting.
Of course, the acting skills were not so important, as their real goal was to make Gaoyako realize that they were engaging in a fishing enforcement operation.
With that, the opponent's target would naturally shift to Zheng Zha, who had fewer people and weaker defenses, and then it would just be a matter of proceeding according to plan.
Thus, before the arrival of the night of the fifth day, Wu Xian and others threw Zhu Wen into a remote small forest and left without a care in the world.
Of course, for safety, they prepared a rebirth cross chapter and some defense props for Zhu Wen. Although it is not as powerful as the Yutian ring, it can definitely hold off Gaoyako for several minutes, enough to hold until the crowd returned for rescue.
"How about you two? Have there been any unusual occurrences on your end?"
About 100 meters away from the small forest, there were several shadowy figures invisible to the naked eye, standing quietly. These were invisible symbols made by Wu Xian using Tongtian Lu, which could temporarily obscure the shapes and breath of the crowd and prevent Gaoyako from discovering them.
Among them, Cheng Xiao and Li Xiaoyi respectively put on armor and battle gear, holding weapons in a tight formation. Zhao Yingkong stood next to them, playing with a dagger engraved with runes in his right hand, rotating and flipping between his five fingers. His eyes were cold and fierce.
As for Zhan Lan, she had one hand resting on Wu Xian's shoulder, who was already clad in the Black God set. Her eyes were lost in a daze, as if she had entered a state of genetic lock, aiming to maximize the effect of her mental force scan.
Next, as soon as she spots Gaoyako's trace, she will immediately teleport Wu Xian there, leaving no chance for the opponent to react.
"No, Captain. Nothing has happened here," she said.
In the hotel, Zheng Zha muttered to himself, "Speaking of which, is it possible that our acting was too fake, and we didn't deceive Gaoyako at all, which is why she hasn't made any move?"
"Indeed, there is a possibility, but we cannot completely relax, as the ghosts and monsters in horror movies are best at choosing the most unexpected timing to strike."
Wu Xian said in a low voice, "Be patient. After tonight, there are only two more days left. If we still can't find Gaoyako, then there's no need to waste more time; we should consider our escape plans instead."
"Understood, Captain. I will ensure that Lao Qi's side will be well-maintained..."
Zheng Zha replied in his mind, but at that moment, the presidential suite he was in suddenly flickered with light, as if it had suddenly lost power.
The next second, the surroundings were plunged into complete darkness, and the ears were filled with a chilling bubble sound. Even Zheng Zha's hair stood on end, and following his intuition, he turned to look at a corner of the room.
He saw a woman, completely pale, standing there, with her limbs and head twisted in an unnatural way.
Through her disheveled, scattered hair, as he gazed into her pair of black and red eyes, Zheng Zha could still sense an endless amount of malice and resentment hidden within, which sent a shiver down his spine...
Seeing this situation, Zheng Zha was first slightly startled, but then a smile of excitement appeared on his face as he shouted loudly in the mental network of the Central Continent team: "Captain! Gaoyako has appeared!"
There was no need for him to remind them, as Jian Lan, who had already scanned the situation using his mental power, immediately teleported himself, Wu Xian, and Cheng Xiao and Li Xiaoyi four people to the hotel where the incident occurred. They left Zhao Yingkong to watch over Zhu Wen in case of any mishaps.
"What the heck, why do I, as an assassin, have to take on this kind of task of protecting people... Such a hassle."
The young assassin muttered softly, about to enter the small forest to inform Zhu Wen that she was safe.
But the next second, boundless darkness surged suddenly, enveloping the surrounding space.
"Knock, knock, knock————"
The next second, a spooky laugh rang out, and Zhao Yingkong seemed a bit lost, standing frozen in place.
Then she felt a slight weight on her shoulder, as two pale hands rested on her shoulders and began to move slowly towards her neck.
Pata!
The normally stiff and frozen Zhao Yingkong suddenly raised her hand and pressed it onto one of the pale palms, squeezing it tightly.
The force was so great that even the greatly enhanced Gaoyako was taken aback.
How could that be, this little girl is clearly different from those monsters, just an ordinary person, how can she resist herself?
With this thought, Gaoyako had already realized something was amiss and was about to use her ability to teleport away. However, at that very moment, a familiar energy fluctuation suddenly swept over her entire body, just like the night five days earlier.
"Finally... I've caught you."
A man's mocking voice suddenly echoed, and Zhao Yingkong slowly turned around, revealing a faint black mist swirling on his body.
Following that, the exquisitely beautiful androgynous face and petite figure transformed and expanded at a visible speed, eventually morphing into Wu Xian's appearance.
Surprised? Delighted?!"
Wu Xian smiled and then immediately activated the command of spirit and soul, attempting to bind the Gaoyako in front of him.
"AAAAAAA—————"
A piercing scream pierced the night sky, and Gaoyako's ghostly body instantly turned into bubbles and vanished without a trace, having escaped Wu Xian's control in the last moment by exploding.
The bizarre darkness disappeared, and the surrounding scene returned to reality.
At this moment, all the members of the Central Continent team, including Chu Xuan and the others who should have stayed in the temple, had all appeared here.
"Did it work?"
Chu Xuan pushed his glasses, asking casually.
Seek for continuation! Seek for continuation!
