From the end of the world

Chapter 94 Night Talk 2
Ma Zao can use the power of blessing to trace back the target's past experiences. I think the reason why she is always observing the Shadow Changer's finger is to investigate the clues of the Shadow Changer through the tracing skill.

Since Lu Youxun can't be relied upon, we can only rely on Ma Zao first.

And Ma Zao gave an answer that lived up to expectations.

"I can see something," she said. "This weirdo has been going to a certain place frequently and interacting with some people for a long time. Sometimes he even goes there every day and stays there for a long time. If nothing unexpected happens, he should go to that place frequently in the future."

"So, we just need to go to that place and ambush him..." I immediately saw the signs of victory, "So, what exactly is that place?"

"I'm still investigating. It's only been a short time, and I can't find out so much information." She said, "This weirdo seems to have the ability to resist divination. Although my ability is not divination, it has also been affected to a certain extent. The pictures I have traced back are all fragmented."

"Are you confident that you can find out the exact location of that place?" I asked.

"It's hard to say, but I don't think there will be any big problems," she said. "It's like a jigsaw puzzle. Even if you don't know how to do it, as long as you spend time and patience to find the right way to put it together, you can always find the right way to put it together. As for how long it will take, I can't give you an exact number. If you're lucky, the result will be out tomorrow. If you're unlucky... it won't take more than a week at least."

"It's okay, take your time." I said kindly.

Now I have no time limit. Whether she wants to spend a week or a month, I can accept it. But she herself may not be able to accept it. She still has the mission of preventing the apocalypse from coming, and may not be willing to waste time on such a place that has just started.

"Also, remember to be careful of a man named Lu Chan," I reminded.

"Lu Chan, who is that?" she asked curiously.

I told her about Lu Youxun and the Transcendentalist Hill, and advised her not to be discovered by the other side.

I originally thought that she would show a very vigilant reaction and implement a lurking strategy, but unexpectedly, after listening to me, she directly said: "It doesn't matter, just let them find out. You and Zhu Shi don't need to spend time hiding me, just show up openly."

"What?" I was quite surprised.

"This is something I learned from experience. I had a bad reputation in the apocalypse, and when I passed by some survivors' gathering places, I thought about hiding. But I'm prone to causing trouble, and I've never been able to hide myself safely." She said with a broad-minded attitude, "Instead of doing this, it's better to be less restrained and act as if you'll be known. That way, you don't have to be suspicious of the people around you."

"So, if the Transcendentalists want to kidnap you by force, what should you do?" I asked.

She replied: "I will use space transfer to escape."

Use space transfer to escape... What happened next? I waited for a while, but didn't hear her next words. She just looked at me calmly.

Wait, is this the end?

"Just that?" I asked.

"That's enough." She looked at my reaction again and patiently explained, "I admit that many strange powers and phenomena cannot be escaped simply by space transfer, but my space transfer is different. Maybe it seems unbelievable to you, but you might as well think about it this way -

"In the past, I lived in a doomsday era full of dangers. On top of that, I also had a jinx physique that would endlessly attract strange disasters to my side. Almost everyone who had any relationship with me has died, and I am the only one who is still alive today... Why do you think I am so able to survive?

"As long as I want to escape, no one can stop me, and no one can track me."

Until she encountered the disaster demon—she added at the end.

And I gradually accepted her point of view.

Yes, if she only knew ordinary space transfer, then let alone the endless strange phenomena, she wouldn't even be able to escape from my palm.

Besides, Lu Youxun is an expert in detecting strange things, so it is not realistic to hide Ma Zao, who is easy to attract strange things, under his nose. And if Ma Zao's space transfer is really impossible for a strong person who is not a great demon or a great impermanence, it is not important whether the extraordinary can find her current trace.

If I had to say what was worrying, it was that the power of the strange was really hard to predict, and her confidence seemed a bit excessive. But when it comes to her knowledge of the strange, she is definitely ten times or a hundred times richer than me. And it was her judgment that "there is no problem", and the weight of this judgment is extraordinary.

"Okay, I believe you," I said.

Hearing this, she smiled, which was rare. "Can you tell me more about the Monster Maker and the Humanitarian Department?" she asked.

I nodded and told her the story.

One night passed.
-
That night, Ma Zao insisted on giving the bedroom to me and sleeping on the sofa.

Actually, there are two bedrooms in this house, but one of them doesn't have a bed. I think it's time to buy a new bed. For now, I will just obey Ma Zao. If I keep arguing with her about such trivial matters, it might reduce her favorability towards me.

I no longer have the "firefly" surveillance camera set up around her. After all, she is now truly free to come and go, and it would be bad if she were to notice the presence of the "firefly." I did not insist on letting her sleep in the bedroom for the same reason. There is no point in surveillance anymore.

As for the matter of Monster Maker and the Humanitarian Department, there were not many things I could explain to her clearly. Later, I used a laptop to display the relevant information and discussed it with her while we looked at it.

Long before he defeated the immortal monster, Lu Youxun sent the relevant information of the Humanitarian Department to Zhu Shi and me. Among them were some certain information and some information whose truth or falsehood was unclear.

First of all, there is some confirmed information - the Monster Maker is not an ordinary member of the Humanitarian Department, but a member of its decision-making level.

Because the Monster Maker seemed to be doing a job of walking around in the outside world, I initially thought that he was an executive with a lower status, but in fact, he was not. Lu Youxun pointed out in the data file that the Monster Maker was not only the leader of the decision-making level, but also the director of the research department. No matter how you think about it, he is a role that should be thinking behind the scenes.

Moreover, there is a decisive difference between the Humanitarian Department and Luoshan, that is, most of the members of the Humanitarian Department are ordinary people - the "ordinary people" here only refer to the fact that they do not have strange powers. In fact, if they are placed in society, they are at least serious professional elites.

In Luoshan, an organization mainly composed of demon hunters, the decision-makers can issue orders behind the scenes or go to the front line to fight. The Humanitarian Department cannot do that, not to mention that the monster makers have to get close to those crazy monsters.

The Monster Maker is likely to have a powerful strange power - this is what Lu Youxun speculated. Although Lu Youxun had come into contact with the Monster Maker in the past, that was when he was an experimental subject of the Humanitarian Department, and he had never really fought with the Monster Maker, so this speculation was not completely certain.

The data also shows that the Humanitarian Department kidnapped many scientists in order to study the power of demon hunters, including some who originally served official forces and were well-known in the academic world.

Such unbridled behavior naturally deeply angered the official forces, so the official forces commissioned Luo Shan, hoping that Luo Shan could eradicate this lawless organization as soon as possible.

However, based on the uncertain information in the data, Lu Youxun subjectively believes that the Humanitarian Department is likely to have the background of official forces, and suspects that the Humanitarian Department is a dark research institution cultivated by official forces in order to compete with Luoshan in the near future. Even if it is not, the Humanitarian Department must have received financial support from all walks of life and is an organization that has grown under the tacit approval of official forces.

Is this really the case? Thinking of the monsters cultivated by the monster makers who wantonly kill people and refine souls among the people, I don’t quite agree with Lu Youxun’s suspicion.

The next morning, I woke up in my bedroom.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Ma Zao standing silently by the bed like a ghost, with his head lowered, staring at me intently.

Although I really hope to see her face when I wake up, or rather, I hope to see her by my side 24 hours a day, why is she standing here?

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Did you enter a foggy dream last night?" she asked seriously.

"Not yet." I answered honestly.

Her shoulders slumped in disappointment.

So that's why, she is still worried about No. 2 Little Bowl, hoping that I can enter the misty dream again as soon as possible to save it from the crisis of becoming a demon. If I had a choice, I would certainly choose to enter the misty dream that night, but unfortunately, that kind of thing is not something I can control.

I got up and prepared breakfast, and ate with the uneasy Ma Zao. After eating, I asked her about the progress of the investigation on the shadow-changing monster finger.

"I still haven't figured out the internal situation of the place that weirdo frequents, but I already know how to get there." She said, "It's in this city. Do you want to set off now?"

Hearing this, I took out my cell phone and contacted Zhu Shi.

An hour later, the three of us met up in the new city area.
