Erald City was not small, yet a circle drawn out covered roughly only one-tenth of its area.
But it was also the most essential part.
Fang Ze identified the bearings, his fingers sketching forward, then slid all the way to the Red Light District.
A 10-kiloter tail just reached the halfway mark of the Red Light District, touching the edge of the Paradise District.
This ant that if Fang Ze was willing, he could easily observe the situation in the Red Light District from his ho using the Void Eye.
Next, Fang Ze drew another circle at the Security Bureau using the sa thod.
Since the apartnt was not far from the Security Bureau, its circle could also cover the Red Light District.
Fang Ze felt relieved.
It looked like he wouldn't need to go to the Red Light District; whether he was in class or at ho in the coming days, he could continue his investigation with the Void Eye.
Thinking this, Fang Ze morized the map in his mind, then lay on the couch and began to adjust the distance and direction of the Void Eye.
This was the first ti Fang Ze had controlled the Void Eye from such a distance.
It took him almost half an hour to laboriously drag the Void Eye near the Red Light District.
He thought he was finally ready to observe.
However, to his surprise...... only a small portion of the Red Light District was observable; the rest of the area, especially the Paradise District, was shrouded in a faint mist.
The Void Eye was completely unable to penetrate it.
Fang Ze tried to adjust the viewpoint, wondering if it was a problem with the angle.
But it wasn't.
No matter from which angle, the entire Paradise District was covered in a faint haze.
"Could it be shielded with a special Transcendent Artifact or an Array?"
Fang Ze found it strange.
But... what's there to shield in a Red Light District?
Are they worried about outsiders seeing the clients' positions or their peculiarities?
Is it necessary to be so cautious and provide this level of service even for such establishnts now?
While thinking this, Fang Ze moved his viewpoint, stopping the Void Eye at the entrance of the Red Light District.
And there, at the entrance, he saw Wang Hao.
Wang Hao was talking to a gang mber, seemingly engaged in a conversation.
Possibly emboldened by becoming an Awakener and acquiring an Awakening Ability, he had forsaken his previous reticent deanor, becoming rather talkative.
Influenced by the Awakening Ability "Social Expert," the gang mber seed to hit it off remarkably well with him, the two getting along famously.
Observing this scene, Fang Ze nodded silently to himself, feeling that Wang Hao must be gathering information for him.
As he watched Wang Hao, Fang Ze's gaze inadvertently swept across and suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure approaching the entrance of the Red Light District: Gu Qing...
He still had his sloppy appearance, his sleepy eyes half-closed, walking with the unsteady steps of a person who didn't recognize family, slowly making his way to the Red Light District.
Seeing her, Fang Ze couldn't help but recall his suspicion towards Gu Qing from their encounter earlier that day.
Was this guy's visit to the Red Light District really so innocent? Just for the sake of finding a lady?
With this thought, Fang Ze's gaze involuntarily followed him.
Without Wang Hao's intervention, Gu Qing entered the Red Light District smoothly.
He seed a bit off and did not head directly to the Paradise District but instead wandered aimlessly around the entire Red Light District.
After that, he finally made his way to the entrance of the Paradise District.
The guard outside evidently recognized him, and without any obstruction, let him in.
However, in the mont he walked inside, it was as if he sensed sothing and looked up towards the sky outside.
That instant, Fang Ze genuinely got a fright. He almost thought he had been discovered.
Luckily, Gu Qing rely glanced up and didn't seem to notice anything; he scratched his bird's nest-like hair and stepped into the fog.
Watching Gu Qing's vanishing figure, Fang Ze thoughtfully stroked his chin, recalling the information he had gotten from Bai Ling about Gu Qing.
Gu Qing had a good reputation, almost without fault, except for his penchant for chatting and drinking with fallen girls.
From the first day he arrived in Erald City, he beca absorbed by the Red Light District.
Even though he tried to hide it, his involvent was still discovered by everyone.
At first, everyone was a bit surprised, but gradually, they ca to accept it.
After knowing from Gu Qing's forr colleague that he had behaved the sa in the previous city, people didn't think much of it anymore.
So, nobody suspected his trips to the Red Light District had anything to do with solving cases.
After all, what connection could the Red Light District possibly have with a case...
Listening to Bai Ling's explanation at the ti, Fang Ze almost dismissed his own doubts about the Red Light District.
But today, seeing Gu Qing's peculiar actions, Fang Ze still felt...... there was sothing amiss.
He couldn't help but speculate boldly: Is it possible that Gu Qing had received the task of investigating the Flower Morning Festival's secret long ago, and that's why he started the hobby in his forr city, to cover his real motives?
Or.... perhaps he genuinely enjoys the Red Light District, but had unintentionally discovered sothing abnormal, so clues while indulging in pleasure?
Fang Ze thought both possibilities were likely.
In any case, after getting to know how cunning Gu Qing was, Fang Ze didn't believe for a second that this guy went to the Red Light District purely for revelry.....
He continued observing the Red Light District for a while longer and then withdrew his gaze.
He felt that guessing aimlessly at this mont was pointless.
Gu Qing was unlikely to tell him the real truth.
And Fang Ze, due to his punishnt, could not properly investigate openly.
So... he thought it best to be patient and wait for Wang Hao.
Who knows, maybe Wang Hao, now possessing an Awakening Ability, would bring him a surprise.
With this in mind, Fang Ze deactivated the Void Eye, ready to attend to another important matter for the night.
He had not forgotten that aside from the Flower Morning Festival, he had also made nurous enemies at the Security Bureau. Especially today, when a fool had actively sought to provoke him.
Fang Ze was a man of rather small patience, the kind to seek revenge before the sun rose.
So, tonight would be a good opportunity to investigate that fool. To see if he could get any valuable information or uncover the puppet master behind the scenes. Explore more at empire
With that thought, Fang Ze no longer hesitated; he went about his evening routine, then lay down in bed and fell into a deep sleep...
