Divination and Tracking

Divination and tracking

Hunter's life was saved.

But not only did he lose his tongue, his soul also seemed to have suffered a severe blow.

After examination by professionals, a conclusion was reached that Jack and his team took very seriously.

Hunter's accident clearly violated some kind of prohibition.

A certain artificially imposed restriction.

"The matter is very clear—"

Jack concluded seriously, "It wasn't an accident that the sailor was targeted by the Rat Gang; their real target is you."

Chalice nodded silently.

Jack continued, "And their targeting of you isn't their ultimate goal. They want to provoke you and then test how the Governor's Office will react."

"This is also what I find most strange—these rats in the gutter are able to exist not because they have their own abilities, but because the powerful forces in the open allow them to exist."

"Complete light is a false proposition. The order in the dark zone also needs to be maintained, which is the basis for the existence of gangs such as the Rat Gang."

"Logically speaking, the Rat Gang, having existed for so long, couldn't possibly be unaware of this, yet these little rats dared to test the Governor's Mansion's reaction?"

"That's what I'm curious about too—"

Chalice sighed as he spoke.

"Besides, I'm not a member of the Governor's Office. Targeting me and then using conflict to test the Governor's Office—it feels like this person behind the scenes is a bit too sleazy!"

"They went through all that trouble just to test the Governor's Mansion? And after that test, what then? Do they think they can infiltrate the Governor's Mansion and become the Governor?"

Jack's eyes darkened.

"The Rat Gang is naturally no match for the Governor, but the people who command these rats are very likely plotting something."

"What conspiracy?"

"I don't know————"

Jack sighed, "We have too little information, and the only clue we have is practically gone."

"The method used to place the restrictions on Hunter doesn't seem like that of an orthodox Sequence member; it's highly likely the work of a Fallen One."

"The Fallen—again, the Fallen!"

Chalice said softly, "Aren't the Fallen the people like rats in the street? Why have I encountered two bad things related to the Fallen the people recently?"

"Once is one thing—but twice in the same place can also be explained—"

"But after I came into contact with the statue of the evil god, I was first attacked by the Corpse Shark, and when I returned to Simon Island, the Fallen Ones were secretly causing trouble."

"This is most likely not an accident. I think it's highly probable that the Fallen Ones who harbor ill will towards me have already tracked me down to Simon Island!"

Jack offered no comfort when he heard Cheryl's doubts.

He knew perfectly well that Cherries' logic was sound.

It concerns the degenerate.

You can never be too careful.

Moreover, with the undeniable facts before him, he had no choice but to think it over.

Jack looked serious. "You make a lot of sense."

"We are in the light, while the fallen are in the dark. These rats only dare to lure others in secret, and it's difficult to catch them by the tail."

"Especially when they hear something is wrong and choose to lie low, it's very difficult to find them among so many people on the move."

"But there's no reason to guard against thieves every single day—"

Chalice fell into deep thought.

Actually, it was about seeking help.

[Divination: Do the Fallen Ones who command Hunter and Corpse Sharks know each other? Where are they on Simon Island now? (Consumes 60 Legend Points)]

So many————

Chalice was somewhat surprised.

But he did not hesitate.

Legendary points are his own "currency".

Every currency has a corresponding value.

Chalice will not be a slave to money; he saves money to spend and to exchange for what he needs.

Moreover, by adjusting the divination questions, he essentially included the questions of "the identity of the person driving Hunter" and "whether the mastermind is on Simon Island."

The divination quickly produced a picture.

Time reversed.

In the scene, which is as freehand as an oil painting, small figures representing the two target characters also appear.

They really do know each other!

In a dark basement, a group of people eagerly shared something before getting up and leaving.

One of the men, with a hunched back and an exaggeratedly hunched posture, threw a handful of flesh and blood, emitting an exaggerated black aura, into the water.

The simple lines representing the corpse sharks intertwined, greedily devouring all the flesh and blood before swimming away into the distance.

In the picture.

Their target was a ship that Cherries was very familiar with—the Homecoming!

The ink smudged on the picture.

Switch to another person's perspective.

The person's physique is normal, and the environment is also normal.

He first disembarked and left the port, then walked along the familiar roads of Cherries, passing through the port area and the main city before arriving at the factory area.

The machines, running non-stop like a silent film, produce day and night with exaggerated lines and gears.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and the noise was deafening.

The assembly line workers, numb and disoriented, worked shift after shift.

Next came rows of low-rise houses.

Dusty work clothes were drying in the narrow window.

Obviously.

This guy is lurking in a factory.

But whenever the screen displays the color representing night.

The men who should have been enjoying a rare rest in their staff dormitories would quietly leave and go to the slums in the port area.

He found many figures with simple lines.

Only one person stands out.

Because the limp was very noticeable.

The screen shattered —

Divination ended ————

Chalice remained silent, but now he was finally able to think.

The bastard who drove the Corpse Shark to attack him is indeed in cahoots with the guy who drove the Hunter Rat Gang.

Moreover, they are organized degenerates.

Chalice was considering how to say it.

After all, directly revealing that the target is a specific factory is not something that can be explained by intuition alone.

But soon.

Chalice had already prepared his explanation.

He doesn't need to give the answer directly.

After all, he himself didn't know the specific answer.

Divination never gives a definite answer.

Most of the time, you need to do the analysis yourself.

However, obtaining information similar to a "heavenly eye perspective" is enough for Cherris to play an information asymmetry game.

Although it's difficult to follow up on the Hunter lead, the divination footage just now showed that the guy had contact with more than just Hunter!

Think differently.

If Cherries was the corrupt one who attempted to test the Governor's Mansion, he would never have incited only the Rat Gang.

In terms of both effectiveness and opportunity, the more forces involved, the greater the probability of success.

Therefore, as long as we find the underworld forces that the corrupt individuals have come into contact with, we can obtain more information.

At that time, there won't even be a need for Chalis to remind them.

The experienced Jack naturally used various methods to pry open those guys' mouths and dig out clues within the scope of the restrictions.

"Slums?"

Jack asked softly, "You think that guy not only lured the Rat Gang, but also had other plans?"

"It might not be a backup plan; it could just be a backup."

"But if he wasn't simply trying to annoy me, he wouldn't have sent just one rat gang to test the governor!" Chalistan stated frankly.

"That makes sense."

Jack nodded. "The matter of the Fallen has always been one of the highest priority cases. I will report to the president immediately and ask him to take joint action with the Governor's Office and the Church!"

"Those scumbags from the slums who can't stand the light of day should be dragged out and exposed to the sunlight!"
