But he saw nothing.
Lu Zhiwei seed to have fallen to the ground, and then disappeared.
"What in the world is this thing."
Xiang Beifei jumped back down to the ground.
However, he landed steadily on the ground, not sinking into the earth like Lu Zhiwei.
Xiang Beifei crouched down and dug through the dirt with breath soil, creating a small hole, hoping to find sothing in the soil.
But other than so dried leaves and grass roots, there were only so pebbles and dirt.
Still, he saw nothing out of the ordinary.
He cald down and began to think about the current situation, analyzing all the clues he had gathered in detail.
A ship suddenly appeared on the highway and collided with a sedan.
Xiaohei sensed sothing strange here, and then they tracked it to this place, where they saw a woman nad He Yun being chased by a desolate beast.
But she was stepping on air, seemingly trying to climb upward, yet she didn't get very high before falling down.
And like before, she fell into the ground and disappeared!
Soon after, Uncle Lu and Lu Zhiwei both vanished as if so ability had separated them.
Then he heard the sound of waves.
And then Lu Zhiwei's voice calling for him.
After finding Lu Zhiwei, the sa situation occurred again.
Did Lu Zhiwei also jump into the ground and disappear?
Xiang Beifei was certain that this area must have been affected by so kind of system ability!
In other words, the person who attacked that car last night must still be lingering nearby, but even Uncle Lu's raven couldn't detect his presence—what kind of system is that?
Is it a kind of system that involves space overlap?
Of all the space-related systems he had encountered, the one that left the deepest impression on him was the Reclamation System, which could even reclaim a space from sothing as small as a piece of chewing gum. Clearly, this place was also covered with a layer of special system space, but Uncle Lu's raven failed to work and couldn't detect any anomalies.
To block the raven, the system level had to be at least the sa as Uncle Lu's, or perhaps an SR-level that could shield against Uncle Lu's S-level.
But he distinctly rembered Lu Zhiwei ntioning that another jurisdiction's law enforcent officer said that this guy was only in the later stages of Qi-Controlling. How could a system awakened in the later stages of Qi-Controlling possibly elude the raven's detection?
"Specifically targeting couples, could it really have mistaken and Lu Zhiwei for a couple?"
Xiang Beifei stroked his chin, analyzing the current situation. If the criminal truly was just in the later stages of Qi-Controlling, then he should be manageable. However, even if he could win in a direct fight, he first had to find the person.
But the other party was obviously very cunning. Being on the wanted list and not even caught by ridian Opening level law enforcent officers indicated that he usually relied on his system to create spaces for hiding himself.
This ant that he wouldn't show himself unless absolutely necessary.
Xiang Beifei suddenly thought of sothing and turned to ask, "Xiaohei, did you just stop soone from applying their system ability on ?"
"Woof woof!" Xiaohei nodded.
"So that's how it is!"
Xiang Beifei understood. No wonder, when he saw Lu Zhiwei and that woman nad He Yun, he always felt as if they were not in the sa world as him.
Xiaohei served as a powerful defense, blocking any system abilities that tried to target Xiang Beifei from the shadows. Just now, that person must have tried to quietly pull Xiang Beifei into a space created by his system, but Xiaohei blocked it, and Lu Zhiwei, who wasn't protected, got pulled in.
What about Uncle Lu?
Xiang Beifei pondered. Could it be that this guy's space could overlap multiple layers, separating all three of them?
```
"Xiaohei, do you have a way to take into that space?" Xiang Beifei asked.
Xiaohei nodded, barked twice, and then removed the defense around Xiang Beifei.
Because that space had been pulling at Xiang Beifei, wanting to take him inside, but Xiaohei was blocking it. However, as soon as Xiaohei let go, Xiang Beifei imdiately felt a sudden change in the scenery before him.
Whoosh!
The sky, which had been clear a mont ago, was now shrouded in dark clouds. He seed to still be standing in a forest, but the arrangent and types of trees around him were different.
The sound of waves crashing against rocks beca clearer and clearer. He ran toward the sound of the waves and after about a hundred ters, he found himself on the edge of a cliff overlooking a vast and boundless sea. The sea surged with rolling waves, creating layers upon layers that crashed against the stones at the base of the cliff, setting off a thunderous roar.
"Is this the space that guy's system created?"
Xiang Beifei looked around. He felt as though he was on an island, which specific island he was unsure of, with no landmarks to guide him, but it seed to be a deserted, uninhabited isle.
This was his first ti being dragged into soone else's system space. There were many types of system spaces, such as those of novels and movies. For hosts who traveled into novels and movies to complete quests and receive rewards, those worlds were rely simulations by the system and did not truly exist.
After completing a task in the system space, the host would return to reality.
So was this "Highway Killer" specifically bringing couples into his own system space to have them complete tasks for him?
Xiang Beifei couldn't be sure. If there was a task to be completed, that would be fine, but he must first know exactly what the task was and how to help the other party complete it.
Then, after completion, he could harvest a wave of system rewards from the other party!
Unfortunately, he had not yet seen the "Highway Killer's" system interface, so he couldn't confirm anything. It would be much more convenient if he could just see the other party.
Xiang Beifei looked out at the turbulent sea. The sea seed to have been cut off; it was certain that traversing the sea would be impossible, so he decided to turn back.
He re-entered the forest and started exploring. He needed to find Lu Zhiwei or any person he could see. Of course, most importantly, he had to find out which system the host that created this space was using.
The forest was very dim, and he was alone, with no clear paths on the ground. However, fortunately, he had acquired the ability to control his weight and could make his body lighter.
Covering the soles of his feet with Spiritual Power, he leaped lightly, controlling the Spiritual Power to land on a tree branch. Then, with a slight bend of his knees, he sprang forward, moving swiftly through the trees.
This way of moving was very agile, like executing Qinggong. As long as he controlled the Spiritual Power properly, he could move through the crisscrossing branches without obstacle.
After about ten minutes of moving through the forest, Xiaohei suddenly tugged on his ear and pointed in a certain direction.
Xiang Beifei tapped his toes on the trunk of a tree and quickly turned, sprinting in the direction Xiaohei had indicated. Soon, he saw a figure in the underbrush below, seemingly collapsed on the ground.
Chapter Find:
Xiang Beifei landed cautiously on the ground, staring at the man lying there.
Having recently learned to use spiritual power from Elder Luo, he attempted to probe the man with it.
"He's still alive."
Xiang Beifei approached the man cautiously.
The man was wearing a plaid shirt, was pale, had so scratches on his body that seed to have been made by branches, and so of the wounds had turned white.
He saw the man's system interface.
[Host: Liu Gui]
[R-level, Marketing Genius System]
[Realm: Mid-phase of Qi-Controlling]
Xiang Beifei browsed through the man's system tasks, but unfortunately, the man's system log mostly consisted of market marketing matters.
The man seed to be the marketing director of a clothing company. His task log contained no records about why he appeared in this forest, although there was a task: [With the help of He Yun, secure the agency rights of the "Eight Wolves" brand for the two stores on West Street, reward: 10,000 Yuan]
"He Yun? Isn't that the woman I just saw?"
Xiang Beifei rembered the woman who had asked him for help when he first ca to this forest. Her system interface displayed her na as He Yun.
So it looked like the car that had been wrecked on the highway by the cruise ship early this morning belonged to the two of them?
