Chapter 342: Chapter 270: The Locked Room Murder Case

"The opponent must be thinking the same," Fei Ye continued, "For them, our Xiao Yi is also a formidable adversary that needs to be prioritized for elimination. That’s why they blocked Xiao Yi’s ability right from the start."

"That’s indeed correct," Sheraya replied, "but the question is, do we have the ability to handle them? Since their team has such a setup, it’s no longer just a tricky situation to describe."

"No..." Fei Ye shook her head and said, "On the contrary, they might be easier to deal with now."

"...? What do you mean?"

"Think about it, if they blocked Xiao Yi’s ability, why didn’t they take matters into their own hands instead? Why did they take the time and effort to inform others and utilize their power to deal with us?"

"...!?" Sheraya immediately realized something, "Could it be..."

"It seems you’ve noticed," Fei Ye said, "Though they have the means to block Xiao Yi’s ability... they are not confident enough to eradicate our team. That’s why they are using others. In other words, they might not even be a match for us now."

"...That’s indeed the case." Sheraya nodded thoughtfully.

"Moreover, if they were using a method of equal level ability to counteract each other, the person in their team with the Talent ability to rewrite reality would also have their ability blocked," Fei Ye continued, "If he releases the blockade on Xiao Yi’s ability, then Xiao Yi would be able to use his ability again, and we might not lose considering the risk and reward. It’s worth a fight."

"I agree," Sheraya nodded and then said, "Then, there is another issue, who exactly are they?"

"Yes," Fei Ye sighed, "Everyone we’ve met outside of us has seen that team, but they are either unwilling to tell us who they are, or they don’t know themselves, can hardly even recall what they looked like, and all those were people we met within safe zones. We couldn’t force them to speak. But now that we’ve left the safe zone, we can coerce them into talking, right? Hehe..."

"That’s indeed another reason for leaving the safe zone," Sheraya nodded thoughtfully again.

"So ... how much longer do you want to chat?"

Meanwhile, Mr. Ke, who was standing nearby, still had a smile on his face, but it was uncontrollably twitching.

"Time’s already up; since you’re not planning to provide more Core, take your things and the Core and get lost!"

And so Xiao Yi and his two companions were thrown out the door.

"If you’re leaving, just get lost quickly! Come back with the Core next time! Really, I’m very busy, you’re wasting my time..."

Having said that, Mr. Ke shut the door with a slam!

"...Money not being on time really changes his attitude fast," Xiao Yi remarked, "Isn’t this the kind of work attitude I’ve always admired?"

[...] Everyone in the live stream fell silent for a brief moment.

"Indeed," Sheraya said, "It’s no wonder he got angry since we were still leisurely chatting inside even when the time was up."

"Hmm..." Fei Ye scoffed lightly, stood up, and dusted herself off, "In a way, we’ve broken the rules and that guy actually showed some humanity, at least only leaving us with some dust on us."

"Anyway, let’s hurry and get moving," Sheraya said, "The entrance to a safe zone isn’t safe, and a lot of people know this place. It’s better to start moving, as lingering here could make us easy targets."

With that, the three of them immediately left the area and started wandering around the Ruined City.

Despite seeming to be just strolling, and indeed they were, Xiao Yi and his group were actually searching for traces of other Chosen Ones.

The reason why they walked boldly in the middle of the road in the perilous Ruined City, where danger could spring from any corner, is quite simple: there was no need to sneak around.

After all, with a rule of a ten-meter limit for both abilities and weapons, there was no worry about long-range attacks from others.

Rather, sneaking around and taking hidden paths might be even more dangerous.

Such places had too many potential hiding spots; one might not know when someone is lurking around. If you enter within ten meters of someone unknowingly, it generally means you’re as good as dead.

On the contrary, on the broad road, there were no places to hide, allowing them to proceed boldly without worrying about attacks.

On the wide-open road, anyone wishing to attack would first have to show themselves, which would actually play into Xiao Yi and his companions’ hands.

Thus, with Sheraya always vigilant of their surroundings, Xiao Yi and his group leisurely walked down the broad road, as if merely taking a leisurely walk.

"...Hmm? Is that..."

Soon after, Xiao Yi spotted something strange.

"Xiao Yi, what’s wrong?" Fei Ye noticed Xiao Yi’s gaze and immediately asked.

"That is... there’s a coffin," Xiao Yi pointed to a building that seemed to be a restaurant.

Inside, a black coffin was neatly placed in the central position, adorned with a cross which lent it a certain sacredness.
