After He Qianjiao recounted what had happened, Xin Sui said to the system, "Find out where Li Bate is."
[Li Bate is a minor character in the novel, barely even making it into the mainstream, and is not on this system's follow list, so he cannot be found.]
Xin Sui: "..."
"Where do you live? I'll go with you and ask the boss for the surveillance footage to see if we can find any clues."
He Qianjiao: "Okay."
Xin Sui released the car from the Xuan Ring, and He Qianjiao sat in the passenger seat to give her directions.
Upon arriving at the hotel, He Qianjiao explained the situation to the owner and requested to view the surveillance footage.
Boss: "Do you think you can just look at the surveillance footage whenever you want? As far as I know, that red-haired young man is probably out having fun somewhere, which is why he's deliberately not replying to your messages."
"Like me, I often don't reply to my wife's messages. You women just like to worry unnecessarily, making a huge fuss over the smallest things."
“How can a grown man just disappear like that? Instead of asking me for surveillance footage here, you might as well go look in the bars and nightclubs in the city.”
He Qianjiao wanted to talk to the boss again, but Xin Sui was impatient to listen.
He walked to the side and dialed Ferro's number, briefly explained the situation to him, and asked if he had any ideas.
Ferro: "Please wait a moment. I will send you the Skynet website address and my account and password. Once you log in, you will be able to see the surveillance footage near the hotel."
"If we still don't have any leads, I'll send people to conduct another citywide search. We're sure we'll find them."
Xin Sui: "Skynet? What's that?"
Ferro: "The city lord has developed a city-wide monitoring system that monitors the situation in all parts of the city around the clock."
"However, only a few high-level personnel can log in to this system. I obtained my login privileges from Chi Shuang."
Xin Sui: "Oh, I see. Then send it over."
After receiving the website address and login account from Ferro, Xin Sui entered the password and logged in.
In an instant, her mental energy was pulled into a virtual 3D City of Light, where vivid and lively scenes unfolded around her.
It felt so real that she thought she had stepped into a game world of the same scale.
As she turned around, she bumped into a stranger.
Before she could dodge, the stranger passed right through her body.
It was only then that she realized that everything here was just a preserved image.
A search box is floating to Xin Sui's right front, which can be used to search for surveillance footage from different time periods and locations.
She immediately entered the hotel's address and the time period from when Libert checked into the hotel until he disappeared in the morning.
The moment she clicked the search button, she felt as if she had transformed into a high-speed train traveling at breakneck speed.
The people, buildings, roads, and everything else around you are all scenery receding outside the window.
It blurred into a blur.
When the scene freezes, she is already in the target scene.
Xin Sui watched as Li Bate and He Qianjiao bickered and entered the hotel, thinking to herself that they were truly a pair of bickering lovers.
It felt like watching a movie.
Moreover, it's a 3D immersive experience.
Realizing that he was looking for clues about Li Bate's disappearance, he quickly fast-forwarded through the surveillance footage.
As long as one's mental strength can withstand it, even with the accelerated playback, the monitoring can be seen clearly frame by frame.
Xin Sui adjusted the playback speed to the highest limit that his mental strength could withstand.
In this way, more than ten hours of surveillance were compressed into just a few minutes.
When the time on the surveillance footage approached midnight, Xin Sui finally discovered a clue!
A woman rode the wind and arrived above the hotel.
The wind was like a blanket, gently supporting her.
With a thought, Xin Sui arrived in mid-air parallel to the woman and saw her face clearly.
It looks so familiar, especially the lower half of her face.
Moreover, her gorgeous court-style outfit is exactly the same as the style of the female guest at table number 9.
A wisp of wind slipped into the room, transforming into a tall, slender figure that opened the window from the inside.
Unfortunately, the surveillance camera could only capture the scene outside the house, so Xin Sui couldn't go inside to see what the person looked like.
The woman was gently carried into the house by the wind, and came out a few seconds later.
A stone figure was carried by the wind and followed behind her.
That stone figure is clearly Li Bate!
Xin Sui guessed that the person who could transform into wind and sneak into the room most likely had a wind-based ability.
And it's no surprise that the woman was the one who turned Li Bate from a living person into a stone statue.
The two women's movements clearly indicated that they had deliberately avoided surveillance cameras. Even if the hotel owner showed them the surveillance footage, they couldn't see anything amiss.
But what the two didn't expect was that there was another surveillance system in the city.
The name "Skynet" is probably derived from the "net of heaven and earth," as it can capture everything happening in every part of the city!
Xin Sui followed the two to a familiar street.
—Orange Avenue.
The woman entered Villa No. 39, which was less than 200 meters away from Shui Duoduo's house.
What a coincidence!
As Xin Sui exited the monitoring, she was met with He Qianjiao's delicate, palm-sized face.
Those big eyes, the kind only a manga heroine would have, were staring straight at her.
She was startled and took several steps back.
What are you doing?
He Qianjiao: What are you doing?
Xin Sui rubbed his forehead. "I was just checking the surveillance footage my friend sent me. I already know where Li and my brother are. Let's go."
When Xin Sui opened the car door, she saw Xiao Ming lying on the seat with his eyes closed, his little chest rising and falling as if he were asleep.
