160 Chapter - Hitting The Nest

Gu Wenxin's words reached everyone's ears.

Ye Yao's eyes were practically sparkling.

I didn't expect there would be post-meal exercise?

Mu Luo usually chose a random city when taking people out to eat.

This was specifically to avoid ambushes set up by the Countermeasure Bureau or other hostile forces.

Unexpectedly, Gu Wenxin was actually able to detect an unusual situation.

It could certainly be called a coincidence.

Ye Yao quickly asked Gu Wenxin.

"Is it a big fish or a small fish?"

If it was the level of a High-Risk Sequence, Ye Yao could set up a trap for them.

But if it was just an ordinary villain, letting Mu Luo casually deal with them would be enough.

Gu Wenxin's expression was extremely grim.

"The sin is heavy; it's equivalent to bearing thousands of lives."

"That means it's a big fish."

The young girl Ye Yao revealed a profound smile.

Only powerful Ability Users are capable of bearing such sin.

And these Ability Users are generally given the title of High-Risk Sequence by the Countermeasure Bureau.

Although she didn't know which Sequence the target was, since they had encountered them, they couldn't ignore it.

Ye Yao was originally troubled about how to obtain the information list for other High-Risk Sequences.

She hadn't expected her luck to be so good today.

She could use this person to vent her frustration.

"Gu Wenxin, lead the way. Let me see who is so unlucky."

Ye Yao and her group found an uninhabited area and entered the dark corrosion space.

Shaking off the surveillance of the Countermeasure Bureau Espers.

After seeing Ye Yao and the others descend, Sugar Cube cast a curious glance.

"Cat, are we going home?"

"No, we're going to catch bad guys."

"Catching bad guys, how interesting! Can I join?"

"Human, you can watch from the side."

Ye Yao placed one hand on Sugar Cube's head.

The dark corrosion space quickly began to move.

Gu Wenxin's Head-Lock Cheat had already locked onto the target.

They couldn't escape no matter what.

Since the hour was late, it was precisely when Mu Luo was most active.

Following the route indicated by Gu Wenxin.

The dark corrosion space finally moved near the target.

"That's him."

Looking from a distance, the target was alone.

They wore a mask and their hairstyle was hidden by a hat.

It could only be described as highly suspicious.

"A-rank, around two thousand."

Mu Luo saw through the target's Spiritual Power details immediately.

Ye Yao's spirits lifted.

It's actually such a big fish!

One must know that the High-Risk Sequences they had previously dealt with were all low-level small fry.

Their Spiritual Power didn't even reach A-rank.

Now, a High-Risk Sequence with over two thousand Spiritual Power had appeared.

It was likely that their ranking on the Sequence List definitely wouldn't be low!

"Should we deal with them immediately?"

Mu Luo looked at Ye Yao, awaiting her decision.

Ye Yao simply shook her head.

"Wait a little longer."

The target hadn't started doing anything bad yet; they just looked suspicious.

Ye Yao wanted to see if they could track him and find his base of operations.

Maybe they could catch other big fish too.

After all, High-Risk Sequences sometimes weren't alone.

They might have other groups or associates.

It would be unacceptable not to seize this opportunity to catch them all in one net.

Furthermore, those High-Risk Sequences might be connected to the Shelter.

If they could use this chance to find clues about the Shelter, they would hit the jackpot.

They could conveniently pin the blame for Sequence 033 on them.

Ye Yao turned back to look at Sugar Cube.

"Human, the opportunity for you to appear reasonably under the sun has arrived.

If we manage to shift the blame successfully this time, you won't have to keep pretending to be a pink cockroach."

"Cat, don't compare me to something so disgusting!"

Sugar Cube protested indignantly.

"Don't worry about the details. Isn't 'Pink Sprite' quite cute?"

"Not cute!"

Ye Yao and her group silently followed behind the villain.

The person was completely unaware that he was being tracked.

Although he was constantly tense and paying attention to every detail around him, he was far from able to detect Mu Luo's presence.

If Mu Luo had been traveling alone today, the target might have mistaken him for a passing Ability User.

But adding Gu Wenxin to the mix made it different.

No matter how normal the target appeared on the surface, Gu Wenxin could ignore the superficial appearance and see their true nature.

It was a direct, unreasonable lock-on.

The target still hadn't realized that he had become prey.

And the one targeting him was an unimaginable behemoth.

The man wearing the mask vigilantly observed the movements around him.

His sensitive senses could even pick up the movement of a crawling cockroach.

Currently, in the eyes of the Countermeasure Bureau, he was the high-value Sequence 066.

Once discovered, the Countermeasure Bureau would definitely concentrate their forces for an all-out kill.

Every time he went out, he had to be cautious; it was practically betting his life.

Sequence 066 had already planned his escape route.

If there was even the slightest disturbance, he would run toward crowded areas.

By then, causing massive destruction and inciting chaos would certainly buy him a chance to escape.

Fortunately, everything around him was normal.

There were no unusual movements for the time being.

Sequence 066 then returned to his hidden area while maintaining a state of high mental tension.

This was a residential house located on the outskirts of the city.

The surrounding houses were dilapidated, clearly inhabited by people who were not wealthy.

This place was very suitable for hiding.

Not only were there many ordinary people, but the location was also extremely inconspicuous.

Normally, few people came running here.

If the Countermeasure Bureau found this place.

He could even take the residents here as hostages.

That would give him some room for maneuver.

As long as the people from the Countermeasure Bureau cared about the lives of ordinary people, he would have a chance to escape.

"I've truly had enough of this life."

Before heading to his hiding spot, Sequence 066 circled the village briefly.

He even slipped silently into the house of an unrelated person.

After waiting a moment and finding no movement, he came back out.

All of this was just to be safe.

To avoid becoming a turtle in a jar.

Watching the target's movements from the shadows, Ye Yao couldn't help but feel a little admiration.

She had to admit, he was very experienced.

His desire for survival was maxed out.

But none of this was useful!

It was all just superficial flourish.

It wasn't even worth a hair compared to Mu Luo's dark corrosion space and Dark Shift Skill.

Could he understand Mu Luo's mechanics and stats?

Even the people from the Countermeasure Bureau couldn't understand them.

Xia Lian couldn't help but smile as she stared at the cautious man.

"Judging by his actions, it seems he has other companions."

"It's normal for people with similar experiences to stick ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) together for warmth."

In any case, Ye Yao was getting excited.

What do you say about hitting the headquarters?

Looking at Gu Wenxin next to her.

His expression had clearly become even gloomier.

"The aura of sin has intensified."

"Sure enough, there are other big fish. Mu Luo, follow them."

Tonight, she would take out her frustration on these guys.

She would vent all the anger she had accumulated from Strict Father.

What do you mean by 'can't win even when he holds back'?

That was too insulting!

"Mhm." Mu Luo nodded in response.

The dark corrosion space quickly followed the target.

After a while.

Sequence 066 walked into the residential house where the exterior paint was peeling off.

The iron gate looked like it had been rusty for a long time.

Opening it caused an extremely grating sound.

Sequence 066 closed the iron gate and met the gaze of two pairs of savage eyes in the darkness.

"It's me. Don't be nervous. I've confirmed we weren't followed."
