137 Chapter - Crawling In The Shadows

Mu Luo moved silently within the Interrogation Room, blending into the ubiquitous shadows.

There was no discernible difference.

It's estimated that no one currently knows the Interrogation Room has been infiltrated.

Of course, this situation was confined to the Dark Corrosion Space.

Like crawling in the dark.

If they surfaced, it would likely attract major attention.

Ye Yao didn't want to be caught on the spot.

She had just been classified as a neutral faction.

And then immediately turned around to cause trouble for the Countermeasure Bureau.

It was abstract no matter how she thought about it.

"I need to open the Dark Corrosion Space to touch the outside world before I can search."

Gu Wenxin spoke.

Asking him to search for someone through the Dark Corrosion Space was indeed a bit difficult.

Mu Luo shook his head: "Once the Dark Corrosion Space is opened, it will leak auras, and I can't guarantee that the Ability Users of the Countermeasure Bureau won't notice."

"It's fine, I'll take action."

Ye Yao stepped forward with composure.

Although her Supernatural Ability could only provide numerical values, the system supplemented the mechanics.

Ye Yao's fair arm was quickly covered in a layer of black mist.

This was a concealment ability provided by the system.

It could not only shield other people's Spiritual Power detection to a certain extent.

It could also block various forms of perception.

Even Lou Wei couldn't see through the true appearance beneath the black mist.

Later, Ye Yao discovered that this layer of black mist could temporarily detach with her will.

This opened up many more possibilities.

Ye Yao waved her small hand.

A mass of black mist lingered in the air.

The White-haired Girl then gently kneaded it with her small hand, spreading it out like kneading dough.

It transformed into a thin film.

"Mu Luo, slowly open the Dark Corrosion Space, keeping it close to this layer of black mist."

"Understood."

Mu Luo nodded, giving Ye Yao his utmost trust.

The Dark Corrosion Space slowly opened a gap.

Finally, they could see the outside world.

This form of ability had one great advantage.

Outsiders could only see the black mist as a dark, indistinct blob.

They couldn't see through it no matter what.

Yet, from within the black mist, they could clearly see outside.

Vision, smell, hearing, etc., were all unaffected.

Even separated, it would be considered a decent Supernatural Ability.

Mu Luo and the others could also see the situation outside through the black mist.

Opening the gap was almost no different from not opening it.

"Is this enough?"

Ye Yao turned to look at Gu Wenxin.

"It's enough."

Although he couldn't use the most effective wide-range perception, other methods could substitute in this situation.

Gu Wenxin walked to the opening.

He began to enhance his sense of smell.

That unique aura of "evil."

As long as it existed nearby, he would definitely be able to smell it.

A few seconds later.

A pungent odor reached Gu Wenxin's nostrils.

This disgusting aura.

It was indeed present!

If it were just ordinary evil, it wouldn't have this smell.

Gu Wenxin had different levels of tolerance for evil people.

Naturally, he also had a unique standard for distinguishing them.

This strong smell definitely belonged to the unforgivable type!

Ye Yao saw the veins bulging on Gu Wenxin's forehead and knew that he had already detected the target's presence.

"Move forward."

Gu Wenxin gave the instruction.

Mu Luo heard this and manipulated the Dark Corrosion Space to move covertly within the shadows.

"Turn left... turn right... stop."

Gu Wenxin released the special enhancement on his sense of smell.

If he smelled it any longer.

He was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist rushing out of the Dark Corrosion Space and beheading the person with a single strike.

This would bring great trouble to Sequence Zero.

He had to endure.

Gu Wenxin took a deep breath, calming the impulse within him.

"The person outside has the most concentrated aura of sin on him. I don't know if he's the mole you mentioned."

Ye Yao gave Gu Wenxin a thumbs up.

"Well done. Whether he is or not, taking him down first is always the right move."

The White-haired Girl leaned towards the opening and glanced outside.

Mu Luo slightly adjusted the angle of the opening, wanting her to see more clearly.

After Ye Yao memorized the person's appearance, she retreated.

"Let's go. I've got him memorized. Watch how I set him up.

Even if he can escape the Countermeasure Bureau's strict inspections, there's another tribulation waiting for him."

Gu Wenxin nodded, not saying much.

He just felt a little regretful.

He couldn't execute such a sinful person on the spot.

He could only trust that Ye Yao would give him the punishment he deserved.

"Next, we're going to pick up our new companion!"

Ye Yao was full of energy.

Just thinking about the mischief she was about to do made her want to laugh.

Ye Yao pointed out the location ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) of the forbidden zone, telling Mu Luo to approach stealthily.

That's where the experts gathered.

There might even be heavy guard.

Mu Luo might not even be able to get close, only able to remain at a very long distance.

"I can't get any closer. I smell danger. Getting closer might expose us."

Mu Luo had a wealth of experience.

If he moved slowly, he might be able to minimize the risk.

But now was not the time for slow grinding.

Time was tight and the task was urgent.

The efficiency of only being able to abduct one Sequence Esper in one or two months was outdated.

Now, they needed to bring someone out in one night.

"Jiang Huashen, step forward!"

Ye Yao looked at Jiang Huashen.

"Coming, coming, coming, what are your orders, Officer Ye Yao?"

"Are the things I asked you to prepare ready?"

Jiang Huashen pulled out a scroll.

"Here, it's the same model as the one used to seal Lou Wei, but a downgraded version.

As per your request, it can only pull in people with around 250 Spiritual Power."

"Hehe ~ That's right, that's it!"

Ye Yao took the scroll with a smile.

Jiang Huashen's paintings were all good stuff.

They all seemed capable of containing things.

The last time Ye Yao successfully made the split body run away from home was by relying on an upgraded painting to restrain Lou Wei for a while.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to get out so quickly.

This time, something so powerful wasn't needed.

Just a weakened version would suffice.

According to the scroll's activation mechanism.

As long as it was fully opened, it would automatically absorb people who met the conditions.

During this time, it would emit Spiritual Power to capture targets.

Ye Yao had already seen Sugar Cube's panel in the Cycle World.

Her Spiritual Power was only 233.

So, only Spiritual Power within this range was needed.

If Sugar Cube's Spiritual Power could resonate with the Spiritual Power emitted by the scroll.

It might activate the scroll's effect, directly pulling the owner of the Spiritual Power in from a long distance.

Since Uncle's edict space could prevent outsiders from using spatial abilities to enter.

Then it shouldn't be able to prevent Sugar Cube from coming out herself, right?

She wondered if Fang Ze's "Space Solidification" edict could stop it.

They'd know by trying!

Anyway, it was just an attempt.

"Mu Luo, be ready to make a run for it at any time!"

Ye Yao's tone was a little nervous.

More of it was actually anticipation and excitement.

This was a big gamble.

"Understood." Mu Luo nodded seriously.

When it came to making a quick escape, he was a professional.

Guaranteed that no one could catch him.

Then Ye Yao repeated the trick, separating black mist and having Mu Luo open a gap in the Dark Corrosion Space.

Immediately after, she opened the scroll and threw it out of the gap.

Spiritual Power fluctuations began to appear.

Within the forbidden zone.

Sugar Cube, who was sleeping, emitted an unusual light.

Her entire being rapidly transformed into an invisible torrent of Spiritual Power and was pulled out.

The resonant nature of her Spiritual Power easily nullified the special protection.

Until she entered the scroll.

The next second.

The alarm sounded.

The gap carrying the black mist quickly retrieved the scroll.

Ye Yao held the scroll in her hand, feeling a sense of triumphant excitement.

"Got it! Retreat quickly!"
