Chapter 402: Chapter 318 Monitoring Flow_2

The mental parasite monster unilaterally severed the connection, yet the power absorbed within the Skeleton head was of the same origin as the opponent’s.

With the connection cut off from one side only, as long as the nature of the power does not change, Eileena could still intermittently contact that existence if she continued to use her necromantic skill.

Even so, this would expose their location.

"The target has split," Eileena, having used necromancy once again to pinpoint the location, said to Zheng Yichen.

"Mark the location for me."

Eileena took the device that Zheng Yichen passed to her, which displayed a projected map. Through the map, Eileena marked the approximate location of the target. Her necromantic skill was not an electronic map; she couldn’t determine the exact position through the map, only marking the general area.

That was enough for Zheng Yichen who then sent the marked area to Ahn Longling. How to handle it next was up to her.

He only needed to focus on one target.

By the time the motorcycle arrived, Eileena had already marked more than a dozen places. The mental parasite kept ’splitting’—of course, that ’splitting’ might also be some high-end trick, creating a bunch of false targets specifically to mislead.

But Eileena was not so easily deceived; among the marked areas, some were key areas and others were common areas.

There was enough energy stored in the Skeleton head, and even though her skills were not as high as those of the mental parasite, with the help of that kind of power, her necromantic skill was also additionally enhanced. She might not completely lock on to the target’s real position, but she was not easily fooled either.

Moreover, she was still trying to adapt to the opponent’s splitting maneuver, to more accurately determine the target’s exact location.

"Boss, abnormal energy infiltration detected," Lilith’s projection, seated on Zheng Yichen’s shoulder, said.

"Can it be interfered with?" Zheng Yichen asked. It was normal for Lilith to detect such energy flows, as the motorcycle had been enhanced in the past with even more potent energy-related materials. When that material was used to enhance the body, it could induce a permanent ’Unity of Heaven and Man’ state. Not detecting this energy would be the real issue, albeit the range was rather limited.

"It is not a basic Elemental power, so interference is impossible."

"What about its flow direction?" Zheng Yichen changed the question.

"There are sixteen flow directions." A projection screen appeared, and Zheng Yichen looked at the dynamic images on it. The infiltrating energy varied in thickness.

Zheng Yichen immediately spotted the thickest energy flow direction: "This one."

Since it was multiple-choice, there was no need for hesitation—just pick the most difficult one. Lilith’s energy monitoring system was formidable, especially since it comprised not only technological aspects but also non-technological special enhancements. The fine monitoring made some things easier to discern.

Eileena was still using necromancy for positioning on the other end. Each time she positioned these energy flows, there would be new minor changes, yet these changes never affected the thickest energy flow. Only the direction of that energy flow kept shifting positions.

"What’s going on... you have already switched targets several times," Ahn Longling contacted Zheng Yichen via the communicator. At first, she didn’t think much of it, but after Zheng Yichen changed targets five or six times, she couldn’t help but ask. Every time Zheng Yichen changed a target, her plans also needed to be adjusted.

It felt to her like Zheng Yichen was being taken for a walk.

"Perhaps I have caught onto its real tail," Zheng Yichen replied, "just continue with normal operations on your end. The opponent will use the method of splitting, but this splitting seems to be limited to always sixteen targets, and has not changed so far."

"...Understood," Ahn Longling responded. Catching the real target’s tail? Then... that only meant the witch by Zheng Yichen’s side was truly formidable. Her side also had the support of the Ahn family and was attempting to find the true target among the counterfeit ones.

However, an otherworldly guest who had joined the Ahn family, a mage, didn’t seem very capable. Before she finished sifting, she was affected first, her internal organs deformed and transformed into a magic-wielding monster. The opponent’s world was estimated to be a Level 4 energy environment; her strength was not weak, ranking her among the strong in Hazy City’s world.

Yet, facing the mental parasite monster, she was counter-killed in such a manner. If it weren’t for environmental limitations, reducing the monster’s strength even after the transformation, it could have caused significant losses to the Ahn family.

Comparing this shows just how formidable the witch by Zheng Yichen’s side was. She could repeatedly locate the monster directly through necromancy without suffering backlash, unlike the Ahn family’s members, who couldn’t do the same, even those who had used special artifacts and mental consolidation drugs.

The mental influence’s penetrative power was too strong; it couldn’t even be called penetration. If the mental protection was sufficient but the physical protection was lacking, the mind would be fine, but the internal organs would rebel first. The mental parasite’s mental power was incredibly toxic and carried a special kind of mutative radiation.

Since Zheng Yichen had grabbed the opponent’s tail, causing the target to keep changing positions, she could adjust her operation plan, aiming to annihilate or capture the mental parasite monster’s split bodies as much as possible.
