Chapter 326 He's Not Here
Seeing Lei Hao's conflicted expression, the beautiful woman sighed and stepped forward to hold his hand: "Okay, you decide for yourself from now on. It's time to eat. I'll go call Xiaoyu."
"Wow! It smells so good, what are we eating today?"
The voice came from the dense forest behind him. Before Lei An's mother went to look for her, a beautiful and heroic woman walked out of the dense forest behind. She held a bloody knife in her hand and her face was stained with a few blood spots, but her clothes were quite clean.
When Lei Hao's wife saw him, she smiled kindly: "Xiaoyu, you're here. It's just right. It's time to eat. The canteen is making stir-fried bear meat today. The cook in our camp is particularly good at making this dish."
Liu Lingshan smiled, quickly glanced at Lei Hao beside him, and said with a smile: "Brother Lei, why do you look so sad? Did you encounter any troubles?"
"Don't worry about him, let's go eat." Lei An's mother took Liu Lingshan's hand and walked towards the cafeteria.
In fact, it is very strange for a 600-year-old old woman to call a 40-year-old young man Lei Ge.
But in this place, Liu Lingshan used the pseudonym Liu Yu. Although her name as the Immortal God of War was known throughout the world, her personal appearance was kept absolutely confidential by the Alliance.
Therefore, except for some places where she lives or islands where she works, people in other places can only hear her voice but never see her. She can use pseudonyms perfectly.
Liu Lingshan had actually descended to 8,000 meters before, but she encountered an unstable area at 8,000 meters, so she came up to live in this stronghold temporarily and look for other roads leading to below 8,000 meters. She has lived in this stronghold for two days.
"Xiao Yu, how much of the skin have you peeled off?" Lei Hao reacted and looked at Liu Lingshan who was holding a sharp knife.
"It's all done." Liu Lingshan turned her fingers, and the sharp knife rotated on her fingertips, performing a very fancy acrobatics.
"Is this true? That's three days' work!" Lei Hao opened his eyes wide and stared at Liu Lingshan in disbelief.
Then, a few simple laughs came from the dense forest behind the wooden house. A fat man walked out of the woods and said to Lei Hao: "Don't look at Xiaoyu because she is a girl. She is very skillful! It's as if she has the ability to peel skin. She peeled it all off in a flash!"
The fat man looked quite funny as he gestured and flattered Liu Lingshan.
"Hahaha! Fatty, you are always like this. It's no big deal. Practice makes perfect!" Liu Lingshan waved his hands.
"Hey! Don't say that. I've been doing this job for more than ten years, and I'm not as skilled as you!"
The fat man was generous with his praise. Liu Lingshan chuckled, scratched his head, and looked embarrassed.
If Su Ming saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked. Liu Lingshan now did not look like a commissioner of the Investigation Bureau at all. She was a cheerful, capable, sociable and energetic young beauty.
Now, she looks like an extraordinary person among ordinary people...but she is really ordinary.
This is a disguise image that Liu Lingshan often uses, and she privately calls herself a cheerful girl.
In addition to this cheerful girl character, she also has several other characters: mature queen, naive, queen-like, good wife and mother, and teacher. In different environments, she can pretend to have different personalities to disguise herself. In this way, the risk of exposing her true identity after completing the mission is greatly reduced.
Who would have thought that the proud woman who killed a demon in the south was the same person who killed a weird and silly girl in the north?
This is the essence of disguise. By avoiding the similarities between the characters of the protagonists in the rumors, you can dilute what you have done in the vast ocean of news.
Among her many personalities, Liu Lingshan most often uses the current cheerful girl character, because this character is easy to be approachable and likable. Even if others don’t like her, they will never hate her. Both men and women want to be friends with her. Older people treat her as a younger sister, and younger people treat her as a good sister. Some people even want to fall in love with her.
Not to mention how convenient it is.
"Boss, I see Xiaoyu is so capable, why don't you just give her a salary to keep her here! This will save her from running around in the cave and working as a temporary worker everywhere!" said the fat man, craning his neck.
"Xiao Yu is really capable! Why don't you just stay here and help us? Just tell me how much salary you want! I won't bargain!" Lei Hao said straightforwardly.
Liu Lingshan waved his hand: "Don't mention the money, just provide food and accommodation!"
Hearing this, the fat man laughed comfortably and asked, "Xiaoyu, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Hahaha, Fatty, you're asking this because you want to pursue me, right? Sorry, I like the slimmer type!"
"Go to hell! Fatty, I want to introduce you to someone. You're not young anymore, it's almost time for you to find a boyfriend."
"Tsk! What do you care? I don't need you to introduce me. People who like me can line up from the entrance of the Endless Cave to the Unexplored Area!"
A joke, a burst of laughter, with the appearance of Liu Lingshan, the originally heavy atmosphere became cheerful, everyone walked towards the cafeteria while chatting and laughing, the aroma of meat floating in the air became stronger and stronger...
…
"How is it? Do you smell anything?" asked Night Owl.
There were a total of fifteen people who followed Ye Xiao down, twelve of whom were captain-level cadres, and they were the main force in this battle against Su Ming.
The other three people are specifically responsible for exploring the remaining traces of Su Ming. One is Bode, and the abilities of the other two are to track through the conceptual "sense of smell" and to project things that happened in the past within a certain range.
"I smell it. He should have stayed here." A woman with black hair half covering her face twitched her nose.
"Don't make a mistake. It's very energy-consuming for me to activate my superpowers. If you make a mistake, he may escape." said the man next to him.
"Shut up, didn't you see the monster frozen in the middle of the river? That should be the trace of Su Ming's action. My sense of smell will never be wrong. Start projecting right away!" the woman said viciously.
The man stretched out his hand, and several illusory shadows appeared in front of everyone. They saw a boy swimming in the middle of the river, and then after a while, Su Ming's figure appeared on the ice and kicked the giant bear ice sculpture that had been broken long ago. The ice sculpture was indeed made by him.
Immediately afterwards, Su Ming's phantom walked to the shore, spoke a few words to several boys and girls on the shore, and then went into the jungle nearby.
"Follow the projection!" Night Owl said coldly.
A group of people followed the projections of Su Ming and his group through the woods at an extremely fast speed.
And the smell of Su Ming floating in the air became stronger and stronger.
"Can you do this? I... I can't hold on any longer!" the man gritted his teeth.
"Alright, the smell is getting stronger again, you can remove the projection," the brunette said.
The man let out a long breath and released the projection. He was already sweating profusely.
He and the woman who tracked by smell took turns tracking each other. The scent of Su Ming floating in the air would become fainter and fainter as time passed, so their tracking speed was much slower than Su Ming's escape speed. In order not to lose him, they would often let the men use their projection ability when the smell became faint to instantly speed up the pursuit and close the distance with Su Ming.
This is also to make the smell stronger, making it easier for people with olfactory abilities to track it.
The woman with the ability of smell took the lead and ran quickly in the woods. Finally, she led everyone to a place that looked like a village.
"This is it. Su Ming has been here." The olfactory ability user raised his head, took a deep breath, and then shook his head. "There are too many smells of different people. It's hard to distinguish them."
"Then use the projection." Night Owl ordered.
The projection man raised his hand and stretched it forward, and then all kinds of messy projections appeared in front of him. It was extremely chaotic and could not be seen clearly at all.
"There are too many people moving around here. I don't know when Su Ming arrived here, nor do I know how he left." said the projector man.
If he knew the time when Su Ming would arrive, he could start replaying the past scenes immediately at that time. But now he didn't know the time when Su Ming arrived here. If he started replaying too far away, they wouldn't know how long they would have to watch the projected scenes. But if it was too close, so close that Su Ming had left at the beginning, then they wouldn't even be able to see Su Ming's projection.
"We must know the exact time when Su Ming arrives here." said the projection man.
"Bode, it's your turn. Go in and ask." Night Owl led the others and walked towards the village.
Bode walked to the nearest person, took out Su Ming's photo, and asked with a smile: "Have you seen the person in the photo?"
The man looked at Bode, then at the photo, and shook his head.
"Can you help me ask?" Bode smiled.
After saying this, the man immediately started to inquire with the people around him.
Bode asked another person, but this time, the other person did not answer him. Instead, he frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm looking for my companion. We got lost. He may have been here. It's dangerous for him to be alone now. We are all worried about him." Bode said in a perfectly worried tone, while giving a look to the others around him.
Bode's ability is extremely effective on ordinary people, slightly weakened on average psychics, and completely ineffective on psychics with higher abnormalities.
The person in front of me is a mutant, and his abnormality is quite high.
While Bode was talking to the other party, Lei Hao came over here with a group of people.
Lei Hao took the lead and walked up to Bode, holding Su Ming's photo, and asked Bode: "Are you looking for him?"
"Yes, he is our companion."
Lei Hao glanced at the other person and said casually: "He was here, but then he went up again. According to the time, he should have reached the safe area above."
Bode glanced at Night Owl, who nodded and stepped forward and said, "He is a very important companion of ours. He can't go up there. Please tell us where he is now?"
