Chapter 869: The Shadow Behind
Chapter 869: The Shadow Behind
The written records on the screen were almost insane.
Although Lin Sai was unaware of the specifics, even from an objective analysis of the written records, he could sense that the author was a being desperate to be discovered.
He continued to read, searching for information related to the author.
[Standing among the corpses, Hua Zhi's expression was solemn.
Through the Invisibles' intelligence network, she heard that in the Forest Courtyard world, there was someone who could precisely perceive the existence of the Invisibles.
But Lin Sai was protected by a powerful Artist.
She gathered intelligence and, with the help of the Seven Seas Alliance's teleportation array, arrived in the Wasteland World ahead of time. She then launched a purge against the thieves within the courtyard.
But when the teleportation array lit up—
"Mr. Lin Sai, I have an important matter that I hope to receive your assistance with. I..."
"Mr. Lin Sai?"
Hua Zhi, who had been eagerly awaiting Lin Sai's arrival, stepped out of the teleportation array.
However, when she reached out to greet the young man, she realized that Lin Sai showed no reaction to her presence.
Hua Zhi's Invisible technique had just reached the 7th Stage after she finished slaughtering the group of thieves.
At this moment, she had truly arrived at the concept of 'Invisibility'.
Even influencing reality was a difficult task for her.
"How... How is this possible?"
"Why!"
In her rage, Hua Zhi drew her blade and thrust it forward.
But just as she had expected, after slaughtering everyone in the courtyard, she was now unable to interfere with reality.
Her blade passed right through Lin Sai's body, and she stumbled forward.
Aside from standing on this land, her existence could no longer stir up any waves.]
[This guy is indeed formidable!
Not only did he slay a dragon beast, but he also managed to distance himself from his companions in an instant. If I didn't have a way to track him, I would have lost him!
With so many 7th Stage Awakeners gathered here, the world core of the Dust Path World must hold even greater secrets!
Heh—
But what does this have to do with me? A soon-to-be-extinct unlucky fellow, counting down his final moments here?]
[I've been discovered... He... He's discovered me?]
[He's discovered me!!!]
[The earliest records of the Invisibles appeared in the Dust Path World.
Lin Sai, from the Seven Seas Alliance, had used the teleportation array to arrive in the Wasteland World, only to find that the thieves within the teleportation courtyard had been slaughtered, and no trace of them could be found.
He had thought it would be an unsolved mystery.
But the world was too vast to hide secrets, and the truth eventually presented itself to him in this way.
"So, it was an Invisible..."
Past memories were gradually activated.
When Lin Sai was searching for the world core of the Forest Courtyard, he had encountered an attack by a group of Awakeners on the way, and among them was an Invisible whose trail he had uncovered.
At that time, he explained his map skill to obtain information.
But Lin Sai still underestimated the significance of the Invisibles.
The greatest feature of this Awakener technique was to conceal one's figure, tracks, sound, breath, and even eliminate elements like body temperature and scent, completely erasing one's existence.
There were rumors that when the Invisible technique reached a high level, the final result would be complete disappearance.
At least in the current universe, no one had ever seen a 6th Stage or higher Invisible.]
At this very moment, through these written records, Lindsey can confirm that there is an Invisibles who has reached such a boundary, and has been following him throughout his adventure journey.
This Invisibles came with great hope but experienced the most terrifying despair.
However, in the final stages of their life, as they followed Lindsey, they were almost gone, only to suddenly be noticed by him again.
Such a change in mindset is definitely more dramatic than the most thrilling rollercoaster ride.
If this person could really get close to him...
Under the influence of such a perverted obsession, Lindsey struggled to imagine what this Awakened named Hua Zhi might do to him.
"Hiss—"
What followed was a chill rising up Lindsey's spine.
There had always been something following him.
How much does this person know about him and his skills? And since Hua Zhi had been following him, she must be in the City of Law at this moment as well.
Through text queries, Lindsey learned that she had found a way to locate him.
Meeting again might just be a matter of time.
"But, Lindsey, how did you find me?"
At this moment, Alice asked from the side, and Lindsey shuddered at her question:
"Alice, can you speak more normally?"
Alice was puzzled:
"More normally? I'm asking you quite normally, aren't I?"
Lindsey thought for a moment and decided not to continue the topic:
"What I mean is—what do you mean by 'how did I find you'?"
Alice let out a bitter laugh:
"After escaping the spacetime gap, I collapsed in will, stumbled and fell into the river, and then drifted along with the waves. If you weren't specifically looking for me, how could you possibly have found me here and pulled me ashore?"
Lindsey also smiled wryly.
The rain curtain couldn't block the perception of the two powerful Awakened, so he directly reached out and pointed behind him to the Forbidden Mountain Range.
"Look over there."
"That's..." Alice followed Lindsey's guidance, and after the misty rain, she saw the shape of a mountain, "I recognize that place, the Forbidden Mountains. This is quite a border area in the City of Law—that's right! I remember you saying your hometown was just below the Forbidden Mountains? So, Lindsey, is your hometown on the other side of that mountain? Were you on your way home and just happened to find me?"
Lindsey nodded first, then shook his head:
"You're mostly right, but there's one mistake."
Alice was a bit confused:
"Could I mistake an entire mountain range?"
Lindsey pointed to the ground beneath them and then to the surrounding wilderness:
"My home isn't on the other side, it's right here, in this field full of weeds."
"..."
"You don't sound like you're joking."
Alice's expression was blank.
Even in the pouring rain, she couldn't find any signs of human settlement, let alone Lindsey's home, nearby.
But the area was indeed vast:
"Lindsey, if your home is in this wasteland, it must be even further, maybe even at the edge of the world..."
Lindsey cut off Alice's speculation:
"Alice, don't guess."
"My home is right where we're standing."
"Now, I have a question for you. At the foot of the Forbidden Mountains, is there a place called Rye Plain? Or at least, in my memory, this place should be the food production base of the City of Law, with people living here."
