The woman thought about it, picked up a flyer beside her, and drew a circle somewhere on it with a pen.

"here."

"Sunset coastline?" Lin Qiye's eyes swept over the introduction of this scenic spot, thoughtfully.

"Yes, we went to this attraction on the afternoon of the second day. After they got off the bus to play, they never came back. After the scheduled time, the driver and I waited in the car for another hour. After all, I thought the location of this attraction was too remote, and it would be difficult for them to return to the city if they didn't take the bus.

But when it was dark, they still hadn’t come back…”

At this point, the woman's eyes showed panic. "Did something happen to them? Are you the police?"

"No, they went back safely. Since we are all friends, I just asked casually to see what they did for fun." Lin Qiye lied.

"I have a few questions."

At this moment, An Qingyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "You should be the tour guide of this travel agency, right? According to your description, when they got off the bus at the sunset coastline, you stayed in the car. Why didn't you, the tour guide, follow them?"

"This is also what they asked. They said they didn't need me to follow them..."

"Are you not allowed to follow us at every tourist attraction, or just this one?" An Qingyu narrowed his eyes and asked the most crucial question.

"I followed the majority of the attractions, except for a few..."

The woman recalled for a while and circled a few more places on the map on the flyer with a pen. An Qingyu raised her eyebrows and nodded with a smile.

"I see. Thank you."

"Let's not go to any other attractions, let's go directly to the sunset coastline." Lin Qiye said to the woman, and then he and An Qingyu and others returned to the last seat of the bus.

"What did you find?"

As soon as he sat down, Lin Qiye asked curiously.

"The attractions that the [Masked] team does not allow tour guides to follow are all near the coastline." An Qingyu replied.

Lin Qiye pondered for a while, "You mean, the Masked Team themselves don't know the exact location of the mission, they only know that the approximate range is near the coastline?"

"Yes." An Qingyu nodded, "With the information we have now, we can basically restore the content of that phone call... That phone call was nothing more than to inform the [Mask] team that something seemed to have happened near the coastline of Ningchang County. This matter is not very urgent, and it is just a piece of cake for the [Mask] team to take a look while on vacation.

By using this tone of "caring", we can lead the Masked Team to a certain place without warning, while avoiding the Night Watch's cumbersome formal task issuance procedures and not attracting any attention."

At the same time, An Qingyu stretched out his hand and pointed at the sunshade curtains on both sides of the tour bus.

"The Masked Squad is sitting in this kind of car, and the surveillance cameras on the road can't capture their traces at all. The infrastructure in Ningchang County is a bit backward, and most of the scenic spots are natural scenic spots such as mountains and the sea. There are no surveillance cameras inside. As long as we use technical means to block their mobile phone signals, we can make the Masked Squad disappear from the face of the earth.

Therefore, even if the Night's Watch sent out a search party, it would be impossible to find the Mask in a short period of time."

"Fortunately, we now have a clue." Lin Qiye said, "As long as we lock on to the location where the Masked Team last appeared, it will only be a matter of time before we find them."

The two were completely immersed in their own world and didn't notice that the rest of the team were looking at them as if they were monsters.

"What's wrong with these two people's brains?" Baili Pangpang grinned, "Sitting with them, I feel like an idiot..."

"I agree." Cao Yuan silently raised his hand to show his agreement.

"You also think you're not smart enough?"

"No, I agree you're an idiot."

“…”

…

By the time Lin Qiye and others got off the tour bus, it was already dusk.

The dim setting sun shone on the rolling waves, and the waves surged on the brown coast like broken gold. The breeze brushed across Lin Qiye's cheek. He stared for a moment at the tourists who were laughing and playing on the coast, and then his eyes fell into the distance.

"There are quite a few people at this attraction." After getting off the car, Shen Qingzhu lit a cigarette for himself. The smoke quickly dissipated with the sea breeze, leaving no odor. "Where are we going next?"

"The mission location of the Mask team should not be in this scenic area, but somewhere nearby." An Qingyu said thoughtfully, "There are too many people in this scenic spot. If the Mask really appeared here and did something, there must be clues left."

"They really didn't stay here for too long." Lin Qiye turned his head and looked into the distance, which was gradually obscured by the shadow of the setting sun and disappeared into the dark end of the coastline. "After they walked around here, they went straight there."

"Let's go and take a look."

The few of them continued forward along the path that the [Masked] team had taken that day, gradually moving away from the noisy crowd. Everything around them slowly quieted down. On the brown coastline divided by light and shadow, the only sound left was the rustling of the waves.

They walked for about an hour, and the sky had completely plunged into darkness. A faint light appeared at the end of their sight.

Lin Qiye suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Galan asked puzzledly.

“Strange…” Lin Qiye lifted up his hat brim, and the red eye between his eyebrows flickered. His brows were tightly furrowed. “The [Eye of Peering] is ineffective? How is this possible?”

The people behind him were stunned.

"Heitong, what's going on?" Lin Qiye asked in his heart.

“I don’t know, Dean.” The black pupil’s voice came into Lin Qiye’s mind from that red eye. “After coming here, I can’t see the past of this area… It’s like the history here has been erased. I’ve never seen such a situation before.”

"What about the future?"

"Same, the future is also full of chaos." Hei Tong was silent for a moment, then reminded, "Dean, I think something is wrong with this place..."

"……I see."

Lin Qiye sighed.

"What happened?" An Qingyu asked puzzledly.

"There's something strange in this area ahead. The past and the future are all in chaos, and I can't find any trace of the Mask." Lin Qiye raised his head, squinted his eyes and stared at the lights in the distance, and spoke slowly.

"It seems... we have really found the right place."
