Chapter 186: Report: We Found the Spy

After searching in a circle, they didn't find any person, but acquired several items.

"How's it going, Chaoyue? Any traces?"

The two joined up with several officers, exchanging intelligence.

"I found traces, but they vanished in the end!"

"Same here!"

"Me too!"

"This damn bastard—this forest isn't that big, where the hell is he hiding?"

"Don't rush. We'll trap him until he's exhausted. I don't believe he won't come out!"

The group gathered to discuss, but Bai Jing walked up to a large tree.

"What's wrong? You've been staring at this tree since earlier—is something off?"

"Leeroy told me the tree's aura is strange—besides the tree's own aura, there's another one, almost identical to a human's!"

"You're sure?"

"It shouldn't be wrong!"

In Bai Jing's aura perception, a man was sprawled flat against the trunk, somehow masking his presence from all sight.

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue's eyes sharpened. "Where exactly?"

Her psychic ability was already humming, ready to strike!

"Wait a second!"

Bai Jing picked up a branch. "Get ready!"

He thrust it upward sharply!

A shrill scream rang out—the spy could no longer hide; he tumbled from the tree, clutching his ass and rolling on the ground.

The flower withers, the buttocks are wounded!

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue's lips twitched—this guy was too lowdown!

"So he was hiding here!"

800

Everyone crowded around, cursing: "How dare you hide right under our noses? You've got balls!"

"Arrest him!"

But the spy leapt up and hurled a smoke bomb to the ground.

Before being swallowed by the smoke, he shot Bai Jing one last hateful glare.

"Don't let him escape!"

Where could he possibly run?

When the smoke cleared, the spy was frozen in place, completely immobilized by Sister Zhuge Chaoyue.

"Handcuff him!"

Several soldiers rushed forward and subdued the spy in seconds.

"Hand him over to you!"

They'll search his body next. If they don't find the Secret Realm key, they'll proceed with hypnosis.

These minor matters don't require the attention of Lieutenant Sister Zhuge—she took Bai Jing aside.

"Thanks to you, I thank you on behalf of the military!"

"No need! But this spy—black robe, masked, smoke bombs, disguises—he's practically a ninja from that country… ah no, I mean, a ninja!"

"You guessed right—he's from Sakura Nation!"

Bai Jing exploded: "Damn those little… people who live too comfortably! They're scum! When I grow strong enough, I'll go over there and wipe them out!"

"Oh~? Didn't know you were such a nationalist!"

"This is national hatred and ancestral vengeance—how could our generation forget?"

"Well said!"

Zhao Long walked over and gave Bai Jing a thumbs-up. "For that line alone, Uncle will back you!"

"Back me? Back me for what?"

"Don't play dumb—you're crushing on my Chaoyue… ughhh!"

Someone was instantly paralyzed by psychic control!

Bai Jing confirmed: this guy was a lunatic!

"Report! The spy… committed suicide!"

"What?"

Zhao Long panicked: "Where's the Secret Realm key?"

"Not found!"

"I… how the hell did you handle this?!"

The officers lowered their heads, too afraid to reply.

"Search! It's hidden somewhere here—dig up the ground to three feet deep until you find it!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Long groaned: "This is a mess!"

How could they possibly find a single key in such a vast forest?

"Chaoyue, we'll have to trouble you again!"

Fine—search again!

"I said it would've been better if you'd just hypnotized him earlier — then we wouldn't have all this trouble!"

"I was careless!"

"What gets me is, these people who live pretty comfortable lives — how come they're always killing themselves, always slicing their own bellies open? If they don't treasure their lives that much, they might as well all slit their throats at once!"

"It's not the same. Most of these people are death warriors, or else they've been brainwashed beyond reason."
