Within the first ring road of the city, there are still not many suspicious places.
Linna was a member of Darkmoon before, and was qualified to enter the first ring city from the past, so she was quite familiar with this place.
This place doesn't seem to have changed much compared to before.
The bustling shopping malls still exist, the old middle school still exists, the old alleys still exist, and even the old telephone poles are still the same as they used to be...
Linna stood on the street, momentarily dazed.
For a moment, he truly felt as if "it was all just a dream," and that nothing had actually changed...
Night said, "Brother Linnai, where should we begin our investigation?"
Even the inner ring of the capital city covers a very large area.
Without a specific target, it's really difficult to search every place.
Linnai pondered, muttering, "Strange... Logically speaking, if the Demon Tree is really within the first ring city, we shouldn't be completely unaware of it here..."
The Demon Tree in ancient legends was enormous.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the treetops reach straight to the sky!
Such a huge tree should be visible to them once they enter the capital, regardless of which district they are in, as long as the purple mist does not obstruct their view.
Even if you can't see it, the area around the Demon Tree should be filled with a strong aura of pure demonic energy.
It's impossible for a child not to feel it at night.
"Could it be... that there's a barrier set up?" After pondering for a moment, Ye Wan'er voiced her guess: "Could it be that our vision is blocked by a barrier, which is why we can't see it with the naked eye?"
"Hmm, that's possible." Lin Nai crossed her arms and nodded slightly, finding it quite reasonable.
"Wan'er, I'll use the Gray Eyes. You try using your mental vision to see if you can find any useful clues."
Night: "Okay."
After the girl responded, she closed her eyes and activated her mental vision.
"Soul skill—Grey Eyes!"
Lin Nai also activated his Gray Eyes, his pupils turning a striking silver-gray as he rapidly scanned the surrounding area.
"......"
After a while, Ye Wan'er opened her eyes and said somewhat dejectedly, "It's no use, Brother Lin Nai... we haven't found any clues at all..."
"It's the same here." Lin Nai turned off the Gray Eye. After all, this was the capital city, and the first ring city. He needed to be careful not to be discovered when using the Gray Eye here.
"That's really strange..."
Linnai stroked her chin with her fingers: "Su Yibai concentrated so many demonic creatures in the capital city and imposed such strict security on the first ring road. Logically speaking, the Demon Tree should be located here..."
Then, at that moment, something occurred to her: "Brother Linnai, do you think... what if we're right under our feet?"
Lin Nai glanced at her: "You mean underground?"
"Yes!" Ye Wan'er nodded vigorously and said, "Do you remember the dungeon we entered when we returned to the human plane from the interdimensional rift?"
Linnaeus remembered.
At that time, all those purple fungi grew on the ceiling and rock walls of the underground caves!
“Perhaps it really is possible.” Lin Nai squatted down and placed her palm on the ground.
He used his mental powers to explore the underground situation.
Although nothing was found yet, Linna had a sudden premonition.
It must be underground!
“If you want to go underground, I think I know of a way,” Linna said. “Back when the base company had a branch in the capital, there was a hundred-story underground elevator inside their company, which was their underground biological research institute.”
Nightfall's eyes lit up: "Then we can go there and take a look!"
“Okay,” Linna said, “Let’s go.”
......
Following the route she remembered, Lin Nai went to the former branch of Capital Gene Company in the capital.
Soon, they found the building of the gene company.
Three years ago, after Yan Kingdom ordered the eradication of all gene companies in the country, Su Yibai fled to Jian Kingdom. All the gene companies in the country were taken over by the government and were basically turned into abandoned buildings.
But now, Linna looked up at the towering skyscraper, over fifty stories high, and saw several security guards patrolling its entrance, suggesting that the place had likely resumed operations.
"Should we sneak in?" Ye Wan'er asked Lin Nai.
"No, wait a minute." Lin Nai's expression suddenly turned serious, and she said in a deep voice, "Wan'er, something seems wrong."
Night paused for a moment: "Huh?"
"We... seem to be being followed." Lin Nai lowered her voice, pretending not to notice the followers, and continued to look at the building in front of her as if nothing had happened.
My heart skipped a beat that night.
Then she tried to activate her mental vision to check her surroundings.
really.
About a hundred meters behind them, next to the traffic lights at the intersection, three men in trench coats, with their hands in their pockets, were staring at them with cold eyes.
About fifty meters to the right, under that patch of greenery, there were about six or seven people gathered and sitting there. They looked like ordinary citizens, but the soul power emanating from them was sensed by Ye Wan'er.
And to the left rear, about thirty meters away, there were a dozen or so passersby pretending to be strolling around...
They also faintly emitted soul energy reactions, and the strength of their soul power was quite high, indicating that they should all be high-level extraordinary beings with a strength level of 20 or above!
The girl immediately tensed up: "How were we discovered?...?"
"I don't know." Lin Nai tried her best to calm herself down, recalling everything that had just happened, wondering if something was wrong that had made her noticed.
With his and Ye Er's disguise and transformation skills, even someone as powerful as Su Yibai or Old Zhou shouldn't be able to recognize them so easily!
"So what do we do now?" Ye Wan'er bit her lip. "Should we shake them off?"
Linnaeus: "I'm afraid... we can't shake them off anymore..."
