"It's you I've chosen! Listen, go!"
Tingyun had high hopes for Diting, but to make Diting effective, it needed some clues to help it pinpoint Kafka's scent. So Tingyun turned to look at Xingmei and the others:
"Please, my benefactors, search the surrounding area for clues..."
“...”
"We still need to find clues... then why were you shouting so loudly just now?"
Judging from Tingyun's demeanor just now, Xingmei thought Diting could lead the way directly.
"Too slow... watch me instead."
Seeing this, the woman with the forty dollars cleared her throat. She then placed her right hand on her forehead, put her left thumb on her index finger, closed her eyes, and began to mutter something in a very serious tone.
"To find the dragon's vein and divide the gold, look at the winding mountains; each winding path is a barrier..."
“...”
"What...what is she muttering?" March 7th had never seen this scene before, and asked Xingmei in a low voice.
“This…” Xingmei touched her chin upon hearing this: “This might be some kind of psychic magic!”
"Spiritual... Technique?" March Seven looked shocked, seemingly bewildered.
Just as the two were talking, the woman with the forty dollars seemed to have an idea. She opened her eyes, pointed in a direction, and said, "I've got it! Go in this direction."
"So fast?" March 7th hadn't expected that the Forty Dollar Lady's psychic abilities would be so efficient.
...
"Hmph."
Hearing the voice of the woman who cost forty yuan, Tingyun crossed his arms, snorted twice, and said:
"You think you can find Kafka just by muttering a few words? Don't let her fool you, my benefactors."
"You think I'm lying?"
"Of course." Tingyun paused for a moment, then continued:
"If Kafka could be captured so easily by just a few words from you, wouldn't the Sky Ship Commander and the Cloud Cavalry be nothing but useless idiots?"
"If you can find Kafka just by chanting a few times... then I'll eat the Listening Beast."
It is obvious.
Tingyun still held a great deal of disbelief in Ms. Forty.
"Oh? Well then...we'll see."
Ms. Forty raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing Tingyun's confidence, and then led the train crew in the direction she had just pointed.
...
The roads inside the Starport were intricate and complex, sometimes going up and sometimes down, like a maze. The deeper they went, the more traces of a fight they saw.
“This looks like part of a Cloud Cavalry weapon…it looks like it was cut off by something sharp…” Xingmei said, picking up the broken handle of a Cloud Cavalry spear.
"This...could it be that Kafka broke it?" she asked Walter and Tingyun.
“Very likely.” Walter adjusted his glasses and nodded.
Seeing that everyone seemed to have found a clue about Kafka, Tingyun still didn't believe that this was the result calculated by the Forty Dollar Lady:
"While it's highly likely to be Kaffa's trail,... that doesn't necessarily mean it's all thanks to this woman..."
"Oh? Then... let's continue." The woman with the forty-dollar bill continued to lead the group deeper into the area.
...
"Woof woof~"
When they arrived at a certain place, Di Ting suddenly called out twice in one direction.
"It's Di Ting that discovered something!" Ting Yun smiled slightly when he saw that Di Ting had reacted. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was a small box.
Upon opening the box, only a note lay quietly inside.
"Oh dear, you've been tricked! There's nothing here at all."
"?"
When everyone saw the contents of the box, they were immediately dumbfounded.
“We’ve been mocked!” Xingmei said.
"That tone sounds just like that wicked woman!"
...
The group continued deeper into the area, and at a fork in the road, Di Ting reacted again, calling out in one direction. Ting Yun was overjoyed upon seeing this:
"What has Di Ting discovered this time... My benefactors, please follow me."
Upon hearing Tingyun's words, Ms. Forty said, "According to my calculations... continuing forward is the only way to find Kafka."
It's here!
A classic multiple-choice question.
You choose me or her...
March 7th first glanced at the Forty Dollar Lady, then at the little fox Tingyun, before saying, "Let's go see what Di Ting has discovered..."
The group followed Di Ting and found another box at the end of the passage. When they opened it, they found a pink fake grenade and a note with a message written on it.
"Kafka was here... boom, you've come to the wrong place."
It was undoubtedly another sarcastic note, but this time it went even further... it even had a name on it.
"I was here...she thought it was sightseeing! How awful."
March 7 clenched her little fists. She had absolutely no good impression of Kafka, that wicked woman.
"Hey, I told you... you definitely won't find the person you're looking for here." The woman with the forty dollars said quietly, and her indifferent remark made Tingyun a little angry.
"Let's go...catching Kafka is the priority."
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Walter stepped forward and spoke up.
...
"By the way... how did you track down Kaffa's location? What did you rely on? Scent?"
"No, no, no." Hearing Xingmei's question, the woman with forty dollars shook her head, then pointed to her head and said:
"Based on intuition..."
"Based on intuition?" Ting Yun sneered. "You might as well say you're just guessing..."
"Whether it's a guess or a feeling, as long as we can find the person, that's fine." The woman, who cost forty yuan, said as she led the group down the freight elevator to the next floor. Pointing ahead, she added:
We'll be there soon.
After walking a little further, the woman with forty dollars finally stopped and said, "Alright, everyone... the person you're looking for is right here."
Hearing the sound, everyone looked around, but apart from the cargo in the container, there seemed to be no trace of Kafka.
"It seems it's not very reliable after all..." Seeing that Ms. Forty could only narrow down her search to this area, Tingyun stepped forward and said:
In the end, it still feels like listening to divine omens is more accurate...
To be honest.
Along the way, Tingyun was really shocked by the feeling of the forty-dollar lady, as if she had opened the full map vision cheat, and she almost never led them astray.
This made her suspect that perhaps the forty women were members of the Star Core Hunters, leading them into a trap.
Looking at it now... it seems she was overthinking it.
This lady who sells for forty dollars might actually have some skills... but not many.
...
"You...you've finally arrived."
Just as Tingyun was about to let Diting show his skills, a woman with wine-red hair and several Yunqi soldiers suddenly appeared from the container high up.
Everyone looked up... and there stood the Star Core Hunter, Kafka.
