The smartphone on the desk suddenly vibrated.

He glanced at it and then brought the headset to his ear, saying calmly, “The money has been transferred, prepare to withdraw.”

A woman’s voice came through the earpiece, “I know, but it seems like the Night Patrol Department caught sight of me. I’m trying to shake them off…”

“The Night Patrol Department?” the youth in the cap raised an eyebrow, “How were you seen?”

“Damn it, wasn’t the security in Da Peng City supposed to have been restored? They detected my ability usage just as I used it… Chaotically!” The woman was somewhat annoyed.

The voice in the earpiece cut off.

However, the youth in the cap showed no sign of surprise.

The woman’s voice soon returned, “Last night’s assassination must have alerted the authorities here.”

The cap-wearing youth replied calmly, “Be content, we’re just here to deliver. We’re making more than the assassins. Shake them off quickly, and I’ll meet you at the rendezvous point.”

“Got it, five minutes.”

The voice cut off again.

The cap-wearing youth drank the rest of his coffee.

He then stood up and left.

All the way he acted as though nothing was amiss, and the people around him seemed to completely ignore his presence.

Five minutes passed by quickly.

The youth with the cap looked at the gem-encrusted watch on his wrist and frowned slightly.

The woman was never late.

There was silence for a moment.

The cap-wearing youth decided to wait for the final ten seconds.

He stared at his watch.

His gaze grew increasingly solemn.

As soon as the ten seconds were up, the woman’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

The youth in the cap turned decisively, ready to board the ship.

Suddenly, darkness loomed before him.

A massive figure blocked his path.

“Are you waiting for someone? Unfortunately, she won’t be able to make it,” a voice said.

The expression on the face of the cap-wearing youth changed abruptly.

“Flee!”

He had barely uttered the start of a word when the emptiness before him was completely sealed off, and an undeniable large hand clamped down on him.

“Enter the dream,” two domineeringly oppressive words were pronounced.

[New Extraordinary Ability 1: Space·Void (Flash Escape distance increased by 15%)]

[New Extraordinary Ability 2: Spirit·Illusionist (Those with weak spiritual power cannot detect your presence, to a certain extent disordering the enemy’s spiritual will)]

“As expected, another Bounty Hunter remotely controlled like Lin Xinorth,” the figure muttered.

“But these two Talents are not bad.”

Pei Jinye withdrew his gaze.

He picked up three tubes of Blue Potion and downed them quickly.

He divined once more about the journey to the island.

[Divination: Peaceful.]

“Peace is a blessing,” Pei Jinye mused as he withdrew his gaze.

However, the two divinations were only eight hours apart.

Yet, they distinctly showed two different divinations.

“Strictly speaking, the divination could be different every minute, every second.”

“Time waits for no one.”

Once again he downed the Blue Potion quickly to replenish his spiritual power.

Pei Jinye looked up at the sky.

The sunlight was brilliant, and he activated his light-related powers.

After enveloping himself in Armor, his figure vanished like a beam of light on the spot.

Pei Jinye’s destination this time: the island.

This island was different from what Pei Jinye had imagined.

It wasn’t an uninhabited desert island.

In fact, it was as large as three Da Peng Cities put together.

There were many residents on the island.

The commercial districts gave an impression of extreme prosperity.

But today, Pei Jinye had no interest in these details as he quickly honed in on the location provided by the Tracking IP.

Divination.

Divination: Peaceful.

Pei Jinye drank another Blue Potion and advanced further.

He found a large building.

The building was somewhat dilapidated, with many floors appearing to be vacant.

Pei Jinye did not directly ascend.

Instead, he took out a red feathered hat not far from there.

His spirit projected out, swiftly rising to the upper floors.

In the thirteen-story building, only floors 1, 3, 4, and 5 showed signs of occupancy.

Higher up…

All were abandoned rooms.

“No one?”

Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised.

He was certain…

His intrusion the night before was completely silent.

If discovered, the other party wouldn’t have left the building in this state.

“An empty shell…”

Pei Jinye’s soul returned to his Body.

The other party was even more cautious than he had imagined.

He thought he had found them, only to discover they had left behind an empty shell.

“Wuu wuu wuu wuu—”

Suddenly, an alarm sounded throughout the entire island.

Pei Jinye stood by the window looking out, many people’s faces changing in horror as they ran towards the rooms next door, one rolling shutter door after another slamming shut.

The floor where Pei Jinye was located also quickly filled with more people; a group of elderly tourists gathered quickly together.

Without showing any emotion, Pei Jinye watched them chatter away.

“Why is it so early today?”

“Is it a drill?”

“It’s not a drill, it’s the man-eating fog.”

“Ever since a short while ago, a fog that devours people has started invading here… Don’t worry everyone, it usually clears up after about twenty or thirty minutes,” the tour guide said loudly into the microphone, trying to calm everyone down.

The elderly women took out their cell phones to assure their families they were safe, only to find there was no signal anymore.

Again, noise erupted.

The middle-aged male tour guide raised his hand and pressed down: “Ladies, listen to me, don’t worry. This is all normal. After the fog lands, it blocks the signals here. I heard that a Transcendent with space-related powers got killed trying to pass through the dense fog and was directly devoured.”

“Ah…%¥#”

The elderly women started chattering amongst themselves again.

“Even Transcendents can be blocked?” Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised.

The window in front of him had been closed by the middle-aged male tour guide, who looked at Pei Jinye but said nothing, turning his head back to comfort the increasingly anxious elderly women.

Pei Jinye quietly waited.

Thirty minutes later.

The elderly women, who had been quiet, suddenly burst out in dissatisfaction again.

“Wasn’t it said that the fog would disperse after half an hour?”

“Why is there still no sign of it clearing up?”

“What on earth is going on?”

“I told you not to come to this island, but you all insisted on coming…”

“Alright, that’s enough…”

The middle-aged tour guide also became doubtful.

“Wait a bit longer.”

Another ten minutes went by.

The fog showed not the slightest hint of dissipating.

Even the middle-aged tour guide began to hesitate.

Pei Jinye silently looked out at the dense fog through the glass; not a single person could be seen on the streets anymore, and if one listened carefully, the world outside was dead silent.

Pei Jinye turned and left, going upstairs.

Some people noticed his movements, and the middle-aged tour guide kindly tried to persuade him.

“Young man, don’t wander off, the fog outside is really frightening.”

But Pei Jinye had already disappeared from in front of the crowd.

“What kind of person is that,” someone muttered quietly.

Suddenly, the rolling shutter of the neighboring shop vibrated abruptly, as if something had violently struck it.

“Thud!”

“Thud!”

“Thud thud thud!”

In an instant!

The sound of the shutter being struck echoed through the entire street.

Crackling, like a series of rapid firecrackers.

All the people in the corridor tensed, their expressions panicked as they looked at the dented rolling shutter door.

[Divination: Great Misfortune!]

Deep red.

Pei Jinye felt a sinking sensation in his heart.

There was something wrong with this fog.

He quickly drank the Blue Potion to restore his spiritual power.

Suddenly, the sound of a rolling shutter door breaking came from below, followed by screams.

Many people, their faces filled with horror, ran toward the upper floors, Pei Jinye standing alone, watching the crowd fleeing towards him.

“Save me… save me…”

There was a pitiful cry from downstairs.

Soon, there came a knocking at the door, many people knocking frantically.

“Save me… Ah!”

The voice stopped.

Pei Jinye ignored the crowd’s cries of anger and pleas for help.

Divined whether rushing into the fog was feasible!

[Divination, Slight Misfortune!]

The Turtle Shell was slightly red!

It seemed a bit safer to go out than to stay here.

Pei Jinye hesitated no longer, drinking the Blue Potion while heading down the stairs.

And at that moment, the fog spread.

Pei Jinye paid it no attention.

The Devour Vortex attached to his body could completely devour this fog, so the man-eating fog couldn’t harm him at all.

Quickly.

He charged into the fog.

Clearly, someone was up to no good!

Strewn across the street were people, some dead and some only unconscious.

Pei Jinye moved quietly.

Soon.

He saw a group of mysterious people in white robes abducting everyone on the ground who hadn’t managed to escape.

“Blocking signals, abducting people… what exactly are these people doing?”

“And the Federation isn’t doing a thing about it!”
