Chapter 353: Chapter 275: Guesses and Preparation

"You said... you know what his ability is?" Sheraya was somewhat surprised, "We’ve only just met for a few seconds, without even a fight, and you can tell?"

"Only through observation and a bit of speculation," Fei Ye replied. "It might not be accurate, but I believe it’s highly credible."

"So, what exactly is that person’s ability?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Of course..." Fei Ye started to say, suddenly paused, then looked at Sheraya and said, "Sheraya, just in case, set up a soundproof barrier first. This should be a small feat for you, right?"

"...Soundproofing? Got it." Sheraya nodded and immediately unfolded a soundproof barrier.

Though there were no other people around, according to the rules, generally, as long as an ability isn’t harmful, its range is unlimited.

That means it’s very likely that someone unknown was using an ability to spy on Xiao Yi and the others.

Furthermore, that person could very possibly be someone from Wen Huaxin’s team. If guessed correctly, the other side would be aware of this as well.

This way, Xiao Yi and the others wouldn’t be able to counteract by leveraging their knowledge of the opponent’s ability, because the opponents, knowing Xiao Yi’s team was aware of their abilities, would surely devise countermeasures.

That also meant that Xiao Yi and his team lacked the informational advantage, unable to outmaneuver the opponent unexpectedly, and might even be outplayed.

So, for safety, certain concealment measures were necessary.

"Right." After Sheraya set up the soundproof barrier, Fei Ye added, "There might also be the possibility of lip-reading, so just in case, let’s add a layer of black curtains on the outside."

"..." Sheraya, somewhat speechlessly said, "Couldn’t you have said this earlier? It’s quite troublesome..."

Fei Ye: "I just thought of it now."

Xiao Yi then said, "Alright, Sheraya, please proceed. After all, we need this."

Sheraya: "Yes! I’ll get it done right away!"

"..." Fei Ye speechlessly said, "You sure treat people differently."

Subsequently, the three of them squeezed into the dark soundproof barrier, conversing with only a tiny source of light.

"Hmm... It’s kind of like squeezing into a tent when going on a trip," Xiao Yi asked Sheraya, "Can we light a fire and set up a pot? If we could cook some instant noodles, that would really set the atmosphere."

"It’s not really the time for that, is it?" Fei Ye said somewhat helplessly, "Anyway, first let’s think about what that guy’s ability could be."

"Are you saying to deduce his ability through observation?" Sheraya asked, "I don’t really understand, how should one observe to come to that conclusion?"

"It’s simple, by observing and analyzing some abnormal situations we’ve encountered, and slowly listing possibilities, like... that situation, only that kind of ability could accomplish it... Let’s think along these lines."

"I see..." Xiao Yi nodded thoughtfully though he didn’t understand.

"Then, let’s start from that issue," Fei Ye said. "First off... how did he know that killing that person would directly yield the Core? He shouldn’t have known that the Cores couldn’t be recovered. He just killed the person and immediately retreated. But, the right to own the Core goes to the last person who touched it. How did he confirm that the Core wasn’t on that person and that we couldn’t recover it?"

"Indeed," Sheraya nodded, "His actions were undoubtedly aimed at the Core, and he also pinpointed the best timing to act, appearing at the last moment to kill that person. That approach, it’s as if he knew everything about our situation, which is indeed suspicious.

...But, think about it, based on our initial guess, isn’t there an ability user among them who can probe our situation? Isn’t that why we’re squeezed in here now? Since they have the means to monitor and listen to our conversations, then couldn’t they naturally know about our conversation with Orell as well?

Not only could they know about our situation, someone among them also has the means to break through space. Just by timing it right, with abilities working together, they could easily beat us to the punch and take those eleven Cores. That outcome could be achieved with the cooperation of two people. That means we still don’t know Wen Huaxin’s abilities."

"Indeed, that explains it," Fei Ye said. "So, going back even further, how did he find two teammates with such abilities that matched so perfectly? Under mutual suspicion and actually not taking much time, how did he just happen to find those two among over a hundred people? Could it really be such a convenient thing?"

"The probability is small, but not zero," Sheraya said. "Maybe he was just lucky."

"Lucky, indeed, that could be explained by luck," Fei Ye sighed. "I’m aware of that, which is why I said, my idea is merely speculation."

"So, what do you think his ability really is? You should say it, even if it’s just speculation, we’ve already talked about this before," Xiao Yi wasn’t interested in sorting through the logic, he directly asked the key question.

"Yeah, okay..." Fei Ye let out a slow breath, straightened his expression, and shared his guess, "His ability..."
