Chapter 535: Plain Green Hill

~8 min read 1,523 words

The man with the codename 【Enkidu】 wore sunglasses and floral shorts with a Southeast Asian flair, looking as if he had also just returned from a trip.

He did not drive to follow that 【Hound】; as a Reincarnator whose identity had been made public in the space, Song Xian's information was easy to obtain.

Song Xian, an official Reincarnator of Dongxia, is predicted to have strength between 【Strong Upper Tier】 and 【Fierce Lower Tier】, is suspected to be a Logia Ability User, a user of Haki, and a Reincarnator specialized in physical techniques and power, with an estimated Main Attribute of around 40 points.

Enkidu closed his eyes; he was a Reincarnator who had enhanced his 【Mutant】 Bloodline and was a Level 3 Spirit-control type mutant.

The Yinneng he possessed was quite special: 【Transcendental Sensing】, a purely sensory type of Yinneng that lacked offensive capabilities, and therefore, it was also very difficult for others to detect.

With his current Spirit attribute, he could sense targets within a range of about two hundred kilometers; if this distance were narrowed to within one hundred kilometers, he could even lock onto a target precisely.

The closer the distance, the more things he could perceive.

The 【saintbeing】 that Enkidu belonged to accepted a super-high offer of one B-rank Singularity plus 20,000 Dimension Points to execute the mission of locating Tao Baibai.

saintbeing was merely a small team with mid-to-upper-tier strength within the Second Tier; daring to take on this mission relied entirely on Enkidu's Yinneng.

Enkidu was not sure how far Song Xian's Observation Haki could perceive, but he guessed that the other party definitely could not reach the point of foreseeing the future.

Therefore, he sat on the bus, locking onto Song Xian and his party from afar, about forty or fifty kilometers ahead of him.

And he continuously sent updated locations to the legendary 【Kill White Alliance】 via his mobile phone.

In reality, Enkidu had never met the members of that 【Kill White Alliance】, knowing only that everyone was basically of Title-level strength or above.

Most of these people had a grudge against Tao Baibai.

Enkidu kept tapping the armrest of his seat, feeling somewhat restless in his heart.

As he moved away from the border and closer to the big cities of Dongxia, he felt increasingly uneasy.

With the crazy temperament of a lunatic like Tao Baibai, and the madness of the group of people who dared to hunt Tao Baibai down, once a battle broke out in a densely populated city...

It would likely cause an unprecedented disaster.

If a Reincarnator of Tao Baibai's level were to launch a desperate counterattack, how many human casualties could he cause before being erased...

Enkidu shuddered at the thought.

"You are a good person."

A light chuckle sounded from beside him. Enkidu, wearing sunglasses, was startled and turned his head abruptly; sure enough, he saw that the middle-aged woman sitting next to him had somehow turned into a young man with a ponytail.

The man wore a denim jacket with his bronze-colored chest exposed underneath, locks of hair hanging down by his temples, and his eyes were full of appreciative smiles.

Enkidu's breathing became heavy.

A Reincarnator!

He hadn't even noticed when the other party had appeared, or how they had replaced the middle-aged woman and sat next to him without a sound.

Could it be because he was too focused on sensing Tao Baibai's location?

The man reached out his hand, making a gesture to pat Enkidu's shoulder. Enkidu subconsciously prepared to spring into action; this kind of Reincarnator who suddenly appeared by his side gave him a great sense of insecurity.

But white light lit up on the man's right hand, and the next moment, Enkidu felt his whole body go limp, and the fear and fatigue brought about by long-term exposure to Tao Baibai were swept away.

The man patted Enkidu lightly and smiled, soothing him:

"Rest easy, you are a good person, I won't do anything to you."

"My target is only that Tao Baibai."

Having said that, the man with the ponytail lay back down.

Whoosh~

The air was suddenly torn apart by a violent sonic boom, and a missile roared past not far from the bus.

The terrifying sound waves and shockwave crashed into the carriage through the windows opened by the passengers.

Terrified screams erupted everywhere, and the bus driver's face turned pale; he subconsciously turned the steering wheel, and the bus immediately began to sway violently on the road.

Enkidu rose slightly from his seat, ready to jump off the bus at any moment. His nerves were tense; it was obvious that the assassination plan of those people... had begun.

Boom!

A violent explosion rang out from far away, and after swaying a few times, the bus stopped on the side of the road.

Enkidu went to look for the ponytail man again, only to find that he had already disappeared. Presumably... he had already gone to surround and kill Tao Baibai. "Who on earth is that guy..."

The other party's eerie demeanor made Enkidu clearly realize that they were a high-level Reincarnator. With such a person participating, perhaps this encirclement and killing did indeed have some chance of success.

——

Boom!

The shockwave from the missile explosion, accompanied by flames and high heat, roared through.

The black car, having changed direction in advance, swerved into the woods beside the road, about four or five hundred meters away from the explosion point, but the impact and heat still left Luoshui, who had never encountered such an event at close range, deathly pale.

Song Xian frowned, his whole body tensed up. He looked around and immediately sensed someone approaching the area rapidly.

He thought for a moment and said:

"Luoshui, take Student Bai and hide in the car, call headquarters for reinforcements, close the doors and windows, and don't look at anything, understand?!"

Luoshui had received training and knew this meant her master was preparing to take action.

She immediately pulled Bai Cangshu back into the rear seat, locked the doors, and the privacy curtains rose immediately, completely blocking the view outside.

"Bai Cangshu" vaguely saw white mist rising from the woods, submerging Song Xian in an instant.

He displayed a high degree of obedience, hiding in the back seat of the car with Luoshui, his expression as usual.

"Heh... heh, Student Bai Cangshu, don't worry, Master is very powerful..."

Thinking for a moment, and worrying that Bai Cangshu might develop a resistance to future work, she added:

"That kind of dangerous work is all done by Master. You must have heard of 【Ability Users】, right..."

"For ordinary people like us, we should just handle the logistics!"

Bai Cangshu's expression remained as usual, watching the woman from a well-off family reveal her naive thoughts; there was undisguised affection in her eyes as she looked at him.

He revealed a smile; this kind of affection was something that could easily generate benefits for him, and he didn't mind increasing this affection.

"Oh? Ability Users, I really don't know much about them. Could you tell me about them, Miss Luoshui?"

He calmly changed his form of address from Officer Luoshui to Miss Luoshui.

The woman did not notice at all; she simply took out a satellite phone, quickly dialed a number, and gestured for Bai Cangshu to remain quiet and calm for the moment.

Bai Cangshu suddenly patted Luoshui on the shoulder and pointed at the front windshield, which was not covered by the privacy curtains; there, a man with a ponytail was crouching silently on the car's hood.

"Ah!"

Seeing this scene, Luoshui cried out in alarm, but Bai Cangshu merely watched the other person with interest.

Su Qingqiu frowned and reached out his hand again.

Detect Evil!

After the ability was activated, no aura of evil appeared on either of the two people inside the car.

On the contrary, the necklace around the woman's neck was emitting a faint golden spiritual light.

Su Qingqiu felt that something had gone wrong; it was an established fact that Tao Baibai possessed the ability known as Killing Intent Wave, and it was also a fact that the other party had been slaughtering wantonly to increase his Killing Intent Wave.

But how could he be unable to detect it with his Detect Evil ability...

There were only two explanations.

First, Tao Baibai possessed a special ability that granted him immunity to his detection;

Second, the person before him... was not Tao Baibai at all.

"It seems we've been played..."

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, the black sedan's glass shook violently, and a bullet spun, leaving a clear mark on the bulletproof glass.

A man wearing a black trench coat appeared from the woods.

"Su Qingqiu, hurry up and act!"

"That group can't hold Song Xian for long; this is Dongxia, we don't have much time!"

Su Qingqiu couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him; he simply took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, the operation here has failed; you were right, Tao Baibai did not return."
