Chapter 364 Opening Ceremony
"Yes, why is there a red line? Is someone hinting at us?" Liu Lingshan also spoke up.
Wu Yixin placed his hands flat on the table, his mouth slightly open, staring at the eye-catching red line in the video, his brain shut down.
That’s right, that red line is the route Xia Xiaoyu took when she left dragging the box!
But logically speaking, even if someone drew a striking mark along the route the queen took, the mark would not be recognized, because the queen's unknowable power is unique and the strongest. Inside the Mysterious Eye, everyone calls her power - Complete Cause and Effect Stripping!
In other words, with the queen's existence as the center, which is the "cause", all the "results" extending from this "cause" will be completely cut off. The only ones who can receive these "results" are the general-level members who have entered the insight mode.
As long as someone wants to reveal any information about the queen, this information will be normalized and ignored by ordinary people. Now the red line in the video clearly marks the route of the queen's movement. This is also information about the queen. Logically speaking... it should be ignored! But why can Liu Lingshan and Xi Wei... see it?
Wu Yixin looked at his companions and found that they all looked confused.
If they had shown such expressions before, they would definitely be suspected by the shrewd Liu Lingshan, but fortunately, now this red line has confused everyone present, so there is nothing wrong with the people of Mysterious Eye showing doubts.
Wu Yixin thought quickly in his mind and soon determined the basic principles.
In any case, it is known that the person who sent this surveillance video must have wanted to help them. What they lack now is an excuse to know Flora's whereabouts, and now this red line that can be seen by everyone is the best excuse!
Wu Yixin made a prompt decision and said, "I feel that we should search along these red arrow lines. These precious videos were obviously stolen and deleted by Flora's accomplices, and now they have been sent back by someone unknown. Although that person has not shown up, it is obvious that he is helping us!"
"But it could also be a trap." Liu Lingshan proposed another possibility.
Of course, she raised this possibility purely for the sake of provoking controversy.
Liu Lingshan already knew that this route was correct. These red lines with arrows were moving in the direction of the eastern suburbs from the city government's monitoring room, and Su Ming had told him that Flora was now in the eastern suburbs!
"But this is the only clue we have right now, and I don't think the other party can set a trap that would threaten us. After all, you're still here, right?" Wu Yixin praised Liu Lingshan, "I hope you can cooperate with me in this search."
Liu Lingshan nodded nonchalantly to show his agreement.
She saw that Wu Yixin was determined to continue searching along this route. This time, Wu Yixin was sent by the alliance to be the person in charge of the landlords. Although everyone gave her face, if she continued to oppose Wu Yixin in such an occasion, then she would be the one who would be suspicious.
Let's just go . It's part of Su Ming's plan anyway, Liu Lingshan thought.
In Su Ming's previous arrangement, the assumed background was that everyone found Flora, and the mysterious eye mixed in these people might use unknowable power to catch Flora.
The cognitive interference of those people will gradually weaken with the passage of time after it ends, so as long as she is present, she can suppress the actions of these people.
"Then let's go and hurry up." Liu Lingshan showed the serious attitude he should have at the moment.
Everyone stood up and went to prepare. After Wu Yixin left the meeting room, he watched Liu Lingshan walk away, then walked to a remote and deserted corner. He took out his cell phone and sent a text message to his companion: Go to the municipal government right now to retrieve all the surveillance videos in the eastern suburbs.
In just fifteen minutes, the team to arrest Flora was assembled.
Starting from the investigation of Bureau Seven, it only takes about an hour and a half to reach the eastern suburbs.
…
"La la la ~ la la la ~ the show will start soon! Let me check the time ~"
The rebel was sitting on the roof of an abandoned residential building, holding a telescope and monitoring Flora's apartment in the distance. Since her last visit to Flora, Xia Xiaoyu had moved her position with Flora, probably trying to get rid of him.
But unfortunately, it was of no use to do so, because she had eyes and ears everywhere on the island, and the fresh animal carcasses and little spiders were all her "eyes".
Zuoluanjun was very satisfied with Xia Xiaoyu's growth. She originally thought that Xia Xiaoyu would not grow to this level. After all, she had no one to communicate with, and her skills such as strategies and tactics would not improve at all.
But in just a few months of being with Su Ming, her strategic IQ has improved considerably. At least she has begun to consider issues more comprehensively. This progress can be seen from the fact that she went to the city government to delete the video of her whereabouts.
Unfortunately, the little girl didn't know that she had already prepared a complete backup, and her actions were much faster than the other party.
"Um...um, the red line you asked me to draw has been drawn. Are there any other red lines that need to be drawn?" An obese man stared at the woman sitting on the edge of the roof in horror. He thought he would have a romantic encounter, but in the end he was forced to modify the surveillance video on the computer.
At that time, when he saw that these videos were all government surveillance videos, he felt something was wrong. He wanted to resist, but ended up being beaten up by this woman... As a fat otaku, he had no power to resist at all, and was knocked down by a punch from this weak woman and couldn't even stand up.
Under the coercion of violence, he had no choice but to use the computer to help the other party complete the modification of all the videos. Until now, he still didn't know what the modification he made was for. The woman just asked him to draw a red line on the surveillance videos according to the road they walked. She said that this was the road that a female star named Mary once walked when filming a movie.
The man had no idea what he was doing. He didn't know that the other party asked him to draw those red lines in order to erase the causal power of a certain invisible girl in the transmission of information.
"Oh, it's none of your business." The rebellious man said with a smile.
"Then... can I go now?"
"Huh? You're leaving? You've helped me so much, don't you want to have some fun with me later in the evening?" The rebel gave the fat man an innocent smile.
Her smile formed a sharp contrast with her words, just like a chaste woman who had been drugged and was unable to control her desire to vent her sexual desire. This incredible misaligned impression hit the fat man's heart hard. He... he actually found the other party very attractive!
"You... who are you?" The fat guy lowered his head, not daring to look at the other person.
To be honest, he was actually looking forward to this wonderful development.
Just like the boy in the comics who is so ordinary that he couldn't be more ordinary, one day he meets a woman who is as perfect as a queen, who uses rough and tough means to drag him out of his boring daily life and takes him into a new and wonderful world.
He looks forward to this kind of thing every day... because he is a tech geek who has no girlfriend and is so fat that it's difficult for him to wipe his butt.
"I'm asking you, do you want to? You can only answer once. If you do, then work with me in the future. If you don't want, then leave now and continue your previous life. You will never see me again in this life, and you will not encounter any danger." The rebellious king restrained his smile and showed a serious expression.
The fat guy opened his mouth wide, beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, the fat on his cheeks trembled slightly with his muscles, and his heart beat more violently than ever before.
“I…I…”
"Look at your expression. You don't really think I will take you to do something exciting and thrilling, do you? Sorry, I'm okay if it's a handsome guy, but not a fat pig, hahaha!" The rebellious man laughed, and the man in front of him clenched his fists, his cheeks as red as a monkey's butt.
Shame and humiliation, but nothing can be done.
The man turned to leave, and the clear and pleasant voice came from behind him again.
"Hey! If you really want to go with me, help me do one thing and lose weight to become a normal person within three months, then I will let you go with me."
The man stopped. He felt that the other party was still playing with her, but for some reason, he couldn't move his feet forward.
Even if I was deceived! It didn't matter. Anyway, I had been ridiculed and insulted since I was a child. What if I was fooled again this time? What if it was true? Maybe she was really my angel?
"What do you want me to do?"
"I'll tell you later. Now I need to use my brain." The rebel picked up the telescope and looked down.
At present, everything is going according to her arrangements.
Everyone's steps were calculated by her.
Step 1: After Xia Xiaoyu takes Flora away, she may go to the city government center to delete all her whereabouts. If she achieves her goal, the members of the Mysterious Eye who arrive at Dongyang Island later will not be able to find Xia Xiaoyu's trace, and the drama will not be able to begin.
Therefore, she had to install a hidden program in the city government's surveillance program in advance to synchronize all the surveillance videos to her computer. It didn't matter whether the program was discovered or not, because the video was transmitted before Xia Xiaoyu deleted it.
Step 2: Give these clues to the members of Mystic Eye in some way, reveal Flora's whereabouts, and let those people know who the opponent is in advance. In addition, they can hunt Flora with legitimate reasons without using their abilities.
In this second step, Liu Lingshan also joined the manhunt as she had guessed.
If Liu Lingshan acts together with the people from the Mysterious Eye, then the people from the Mysterious Eye will not dare to use their abilities, or even if they use their abilities they will not dare to do anything that goes against common sense, which will also prevent the drama she carefully arranged from starting, so - she has to do some small moves.
In the video content sent previously, the red line marks the place where Xia Xiaoyu and Flora hid for the first time.
But now, Flora’s hiding place is different from before. After meeting her, Xia Xiaoyu moved her hiding base.
According to the red line in the video, we can only find Flora's original hiding place, but not her current hiding place. If the people of Mysterious Eye had a little brains, they would call up the surveillance videos of the East Suburbs area, and from those videos they can follow the clues and find where Flora is hiding now.
Then, the people from the Mysterious Eye should find a reason to search separately from Liu Lingshan, letting Liu Lingshan and others search at the fake address, while they will come here directly to catch Flora. Without the supervision of Liu Lingshan and other ordinary officials, they can act unscrupulously.
Such a large group of people and Xia Xiaoyu cannot hurt each other, so Xia Xiaoyu will definitely not be able to beat them in restricting actions, and Flora will definitely be caught then.
Of course, this is just an assumed plot development. In the actual implementation of the plan, Liu Lingshan is not so stupid. Her action pattern cannot be considered with normal people's thinking, and she must take one more step.
And that... is the opening of the climax!
…
At 1:40 p.m., search teams arrived in the eastern suburbs.
"We're here. Let's split up now." Wu Yixin said, "The red line doesn't indicate the exact location, but Flora should be hiding in this area. It's more concealed and faster if we split up to search. It's easier to be discovered if we gather together ."
After Wu Yixin finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Liu Lingshan and found that Liu Lingshan had no desire to speak, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now divide into four groups! You, you, you, take your people and follow me; you follow Deputy Director Liu; and the rest of you, follow Sylvie." Wu Yixin took out a map and marked three areas with a red pen. "I'll search here, the Deputy Director will search here, and Sylvie will search here."
"Let's start like this." Liu Lingshan agreed readily.
Sylvie smiled and nodded: "My area is very big, is there only this many people?"
"I heard that you have crows and dogs, Sylvie, so you shouldn't need so many people, right?" Wu Yixin said.
"But crows can only see from a bird's eye view. It's not easy to find someone hiding in a building. It's very tiring for a group of small animals to run around." Sylvie replied.
"Take some time to work hard."
After saying that, Wu Yixin waved his hand, got into the car with his men and left.
Sylvie narrowed her eyes and watched the cars leave, then turned around and asked with a smile, "It's going to take me quite a while, what about you, Deputy Director?"
Liu Lingshan put his fingers into the snow-white hair and scratched it: "It will take me a long time here, but my intuition tells me that it will not be in vain."
"Then I'll come and help you after I find my way here." Sylvie said with a smile.
Liu Lingshan patted Xi Wei's shoulder and comforted her, "Xiao Xi, just take care of your own place. Look carefully and slowly, don't miss any place. It doesn't matter if it takes a little longer. Do you understand?"
"Yes." Sylvie nodded slightly, turned around and said to the people behind her, "Then let's set off quickly."
Sylvie's people got on the car one after another and headed to the search area they were responsible for. Soon, only Liu Lingshan and his group of people were left at the scene.
"Teacher, shall we start searching from here now?" a man wearing glasses asked respectfully.
Liu Lingshan stretched and twisted her neck, her cervical vertebrae making a crisp crackling sound. She sighed comfortably, then reached out and took out a square-shaped object.
Then she turned to look at everyone and said, "Now try to use the communication equipment."
"Uh...what is this?"
Everyone looked puzzled at the same time.
"Forget it, let me tell you something interesting. The weakness of those invisible people who can erase their presence is that their skills are active skills... In other words, as long as they are made unconscious before they activate their skills, their abilities are equivalent to nothing." Liu Lingshan said with a smile.
No one heard her words.
Because when she said the words "forget it", no one was awake.
