Wei Xuan hid behind the curtains, peering outside through the gaps without turning around. "I haven't seen anyone yet... Wait, someone's coming. Hmm? Why is it a man?"
The next moment, Wei Xuan frowned and said, "The curtains are drawn."
Lin Xiao and Colin both frowned.
"Can't you see it?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Even though the curtains were drawn, there were still shadows. They're not as professional as us. The room lights are very bright... and then another shadow appeared."
Wei Xuan said in a low voice, "This figure is rather slender, so it should be a woman. It might be Samantha."
Colin asked, "A man and a woman? Who's the man? Is he a celebrity?"
Wei Xuan thought for a moment and said, "It's not one of the celebrities from Samantha's social circle that I've met before, nor is it one of the famous celebrities I know."
"Not a celebrity... then who could it be?" Lin Xiao pondered.
Lu Ning asked, "Is it related to Happy Paradise? Did Yu Yin, who came to investigate before, disappear because he discovered this?"
"Uncertain, but it's a possibility."
"Captain, what do we do now?" Wei Xuan looked at Lin Xiao: "They should not be in the living room, or they should be some distance from the window. I can't see them anymore."
After thinking for a long time, Lin Xiao said, "Lu Ning and I will go to the other side to keep an eye on things. You guys keep an eye on things here. We'll sneak in late at night to check the situation. Maybe we can find some clues."
Colin thought for a moment and said, "What if that man leaves us before then?"
Lin Xiao said, "Then Lu Ning and I will go track them down. You two stay here and keep an eye on Samantha. Wei Xuan, what are the characteristics of that man?"
Wei Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Black curly hair, full beard, hooked nose, dark skin, tall stature, wearing a black sweater."
Lin Xiao nodded: "Understood, Lu Ning, let's go."
The two left the room and went downstairs, pretending to be ordinary people who had just finished get off work, and headed to the four residential buildings.
Just as they arrived at the four residential buildings, they saw a man wearing a black sweater, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, come out.
The man was strong and handsome. As he passed by Lu Ning and Lin Xiao, he glanced at them with a cold look in his eyes before looking away.
Lin Xiao and Lu Ning brushed past the man, exchanged a glance, made no move, and continued into the residential building, taking two steps up the stairs.
As the man disappeared into the darkness beyond the reach of the streetlights, Lu Ning calmly said, "He has spiritual radiation."
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "It might be the Fallen Incense! We've finally caught them red-handed! We'll follow them!"
Lu Ning nodded.
Lin Xiao glanced at Lu Ning and asked, "Will this radiation leave any traces on the road?"
“It will leave some traces,” Lu Ning said truthfully.
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, then he smiled: "That way, we won't have to follow too closely and risk being discovered. Ideally, we can follow the trail and find their hideout!"
Then Lin Xiao thought of something and said, "I'll contact Colin and have them keep an eye on Samantha. This man and Samantha obviously know each other. Since this man is carrying dangerous items, Samantha should also be involved."
After saying that, Lin Xiao took out his phone and contacted Colin.
After briefly explaining the situation, Lin Xiao looked at Lu Ning and said, "Let's go, follow them!"
Lu Ning nodded and left the residential building.
A faint trace of spiritual radiation lingered in the air, extending into the distance in Lu Ning's line of sight.
The pale white mist emanating from these spiritual radiances would occasionally pass through illusory and distorted eerie figures.
Of course, this seems to have no effect on these eerie phantoms.
Lu Ning has been able to see these strange phantoms ever since he left the mist, but these phantoms do not seem to have any effect now.
The two followed the white mist at a leisurely pace.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the residential area.
The man did not appear to be driving; he drove off to one side of the sidewalk.
Lu Ning and Lin Xiao followed the mist.
There are relatively few people in the base city at night, and the streetlights are spaced far apart, making the whole street appear dim and quiet.
The footsteps of Lu Ning and Lin Xiao could be heard clearly.
After walking for a while, Lu Ning suddenly frowned.
Seeing Lu Ning frown, Lin Xiao asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Lu Ning looked at a dark alleyway to the side and said, "He went into this alley."
Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow: "Follow them!"
Lu Ning nodded, and the two entered the alley.
After walking in the alley for a short while, Lu Ning frowned again: "He's faster than before, and we seem to be falling behind him little by little. The mental radiation in the air is weaker than before."
Lin Xiao's expression changed slightly: "Have they discovered us?"
"have no idea."
"Damn it! Let's speed things up!"
Lu Ning nodded and started running, with Lin Xiao following behind him.
Lin Xiao realized something was wrong after running only a few steps.
He looked at Lu Ning's retreating figure with a puzzled expression and asked, "Wait a minute, Lu Ning, how can you be so fast? Aren't you only at the second tier recently? And you're not a speed-enhancing type Awakener, are you?"
As Lu Ning ran, he said, "Because I've been exercising a lot lately."
Lin Xiao asked with curiosity, "I felt before that your physical fitness was no worse than that of other Awakened Ones with enhanced physical abilities at the same level. How do you train? Maybe I can learn from you. My strength might even break through to the sixth level someday."
