Chapter 709: Hoax

Zhang Heng drove his Polo, following the target from a good distance.

It was said that injured beasts would always find a way to return to their lair to lick their wounds. If that were true, then the injured little spider should also find his way ho, returning to his owner.

But to Zhang Heng’s surprise, the tracker stopped at an ordinary community.

This was no evil manufacturing factory nor a mysterious laboratory. It was just a normal residential area.

Zhang Heng and Shen Xixi got out of the car and took a good look around.

This residential area looked a little old. So of the outer walls beside the staircase had begun to peel off. However, the location was good, mainly because the land price hadn’t risen yet at the ti community was built. At tis, the accumulation of personal wealth was inseparable from an era’s background.

Zhang Heng then looked at his mobile phone again and saw that his target was less than a hundred ters away from him.

“It should be right here.”

“This place seems a little quiet,” Shen Xixi frowned.

Zhang Heng knew what Shen Xixi ant. It might be an excellent place to live, but it is was not a good spot to imprison people. Yogurt had been missing for more than a week, and if she was here for such a long ti, the small community here would have instantly noticed her. In other words, the possibility that Yogurt was dead was very high.

“Let’s act according to the situation later,” Zhang Heng said.

Suddenly, Zhang Heng noticed that his mobile phone’s tracker signal had disappeared. It could only an that Spider-Man must have spotted the tracker that had been planted on him. In other words, their enemies were anticipating their arrival.

“Do you need any weapons?” Zhang Heng asked Shen Xixi, who was beside him.

“No, I have my equipnt with ,” Shen Xixi replied, taking out a small scale from her backpack.

This was the first ti Zhang Heng caught the eye of Shen Xixi’s weapon. Also a ga item, this weighing scale was a tad smaller than the ordinary one, hence easily carried in her hand. It was made of unknown materials, and it looked sacred. Just by taking a look, Zhang Heng could feel that all the evil in this world would have to bow before it.

Zhang Heng suspected that this small scale once belonged to Justitia of the ancient Roman myths, which proved that the one who fought him that night was indeed the Goddess of Justice herself.

“This is a gift from an elder...” Shen Xixi saw Zhang Heng’s gaze falling on the scale in her hand and explained vigorously.

Having no intention to pry into Shen Xixi’s secrets, Zhang Heng rely nodded and said no more. He then said, “We now know which building our enemy lives in, but we don’t know which floor he is at. You stay downstairs. I’ll go up and have a look first.”

“Go up... How are you going to do that?” Shen Xixi was a little puzzled.

Zhang Heng then pointed to a window not far away, “I’m going up from outside the building.”

After witnessing Zhang Heng’s various skills, she had developed a certain immunity to these feats. When Zhang Heng told her that he could scale the wall, Shen Xixi felt a little numb, notably a little less surprised as she used to be. So, she simply reminded Zhang Heng to pay attention to his safety.

After that, Zhang Heng began to climb onto the rack of the air conditioner’s compressor on the wall. His destinations were the two households with their lights still on. At this ti, most people should have fallen asleep. The ones who had not turned off the lights were either night owls or the mastermind he had been looking for.

As soon as Zhang Heng climbed to the third floor, he found that one of the houses had turned off its lights. Since he had just lost the tracker’s signal, sothing didn’t seem right with that particular unit. So, he climbed toward the unit that had just gone dark. To his surprise, the windows were still open.

Zhang Heng jumped in from the window without much hesitation. The enemy had just discovered that soone was after him, and there was no ti to set up any traps.

Soon after he entered the house, he could feel soone jumping on him from behind. He swiftly tilted his body to dodge the heavy blow. When he turned around, he saw his old acquaintance, the Spider-Man who had fought so fiercely earlier. It seed he had stayed back in this house to buy soone ti. At the sa ti at the door on the other side was opened. Zhang Heng could hear a woman whisper, “Go!”

In that split second, Zhang Heng paid the price for not focusing on the enemy in front of him. Spider-Man punched him in the stomach, causing him to fall into the cabinet beside him while spilling its contents all over the floor.

Zhang Heng looked at the contents and realized that they were all action figures from Harry Potter, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Star Wars, and even Cardcaptor Sakura... Spider-Man’s figurine, however, seed to be missing. The latter was probably busy fighting him right now.

Also, Zhang Heng saw various CDs of gas and movies on the lower level of the cabinet. The owner of this room appeared to be a geek of so sort.

Before Zhang Heng could take a closer look, his adversary, from the other side of the room, charged at him again. Spider-Man was not in his best shape since he could no longer shoot out webs. Besides, there was also a small hole in his chest. The circuit components inside it were now exposed and his movents had gotten slower too. Similarly, Zhang Heng was not looking too good himself.

Due to the limited space in this room, Zhang Heng had left his Tachi behind, and the anti-material rifle was in the trunk as well. Fortunately, his Infinite Building Block was small enough to be with him, and he was lucky enough to find a Lego truck under the bed.

Zhang Heng grabbed the Lego truck and reassembled it into a taser in a split second. He then aid at the small hole in Spider-Man’s chest and pushed the button. The next mont, a blue light flickered at that spot, and Spider-Man abruptly froze in its tracks, just like the Sphinx.

Zhang Heng took a deep breath, walked out of the bedroom, pulled out his mobile phone, and called Shen Xixi.

“How’s everything over there?” Zhang Heng asked.

“The enemy got away from , and he was holding Yogurt.” Shen Xixi sighed helplessly on the other end of the line. “This is impossible. Since he kidnapped Yogurt, there is no way that he could pass my Evil Identification.”

Shen Xixi scale was a special kind of ga item. She would have to set the benchmark, and once her opponent exceeded its value, the item would co into full effect.

“Have you ever thought that Yogurt hasn’t actually been kidnapped?” Zhang Heng quickly checked the living room and found two novels for girls on the sofa, potato chips, popcorn, and a pair of female slippers on the shoe rack.

“Huh?”

“This whole thing might be a hoax.” Zhang Heng recalled the female voice he heard at the door before and confird that it was indeed Yogurt’s voice.

“You an 1810 made up this whole thing to deceive us? Why? It doesn’t make sense for him to give out 400 ga points and two items for nothing.”

“Not 1810. I think Yogurt directed this whole incident.” Zhang Heng walked into the bathroom, turned on the light, and saw many skincare products on the shelf.
