Chapter 63

"Commander Luosi, can you sense it?"

"Hmm, it's definitely it."

"Can you still sense its presence?"

"No, it has hidden itself again."

Chen Yang sat on the sofa in the living room, asking and answering questions with his right hand. However, the right hand's response made him a bit worried, "Commander Luosi, it can now hide its pheromones. Isn't that a bit troublesome?"

"Let's go, it should be about time."

The right hand did not directly answer Chen Yang's question but instead made him pack up and get ready to leave.

"Alright."

Chen Yang disassembled the "Hunter" and put it into a travel bag, then slung it over his shoulder and walked downstairs. Last night, to be on the safe side, he had buried his electric scooter in the wilderness. Now, he had to ride his old bicycle to the destination.

With his current physical strength, riding a bicycle was effortless. Riding for several kilometers was no different from playing. Moreover, compared to an electric scooter, a bicycle was much more convenient. Under Chen Yang's control, no obstacle could stop his progress.

"Puff!"

An old, dilapidated bicycle suddenly slid down from the edge of the steps. The pedestrian steps, which were about ten meters long, were descended in one swift dash, and the speed made several passersby shudder.

If there were any slight mishap, the person would surely die a terrible death, regardless of the bike.

However, the person controlling the bike was Chen Yang. With his increasingly coordinated and controlled body, what seemed impossible to ordinary people was nothing to him.

Rushing down the steps was as easy as pie.

Continuously taking shortcuts, Chen Yang weaved through various roads and quickly left the city in half an hour.

The sky was beginning to darken, and the streetlights on the side of the road gradually lit up. Chen Yang deliberately slowed down, waiting until the night completely enveloped the earth before speeding up on his bicycle.

When he arrived at the construction site from last night, the clock read 8:20. Chen Yang first hid his bicycle, then carefully approached the slope, lay down in the grass, and took out a pair of binoculars to look at the construction site.

The construction site was pitch black and silent, a stark contrast to the bright lights of the previous night.

"No one there?"

Due to the lack of lighting, the ordinary binoculars couldn't tell if there were people at the construction site. Chen Yang directly asked his right hand, "Commander Luosi, can you sense your component? Is it hiding inside?"

"It's hard to say..."

The right hand pondered, "In one day, it might have returned and hidden inside, or it might still be outside. If that thing is really here..."

"What exactly is the important item you mentioned?"

Chen Yang cautiously asked, "Is the item you value so much the same as the magnetic constraint device from before?"

"No..."

The right hand immediately rejected Chen Yang's guess and did not hide, "That item was stolen from a civilized race. Although it's only a part of the core, its importance is akin to the nuclear launch codes for humans."

"Hisss..."

Chen Yang drew a sharp breath and tightened his neck, "Commander Luosi... are you kidding me?"

"Host, do you think I'm a creature like you humans who jokes around? The universe is interconnected. Although that item is very important to that race, it might not be as significant to humans."

After all this, Chen Yang still didn't know what the item was. Just as he was about to ask, the right hand interrupted, "Alright, shut up and be quiet."

Reluctantly, Chen Yang swallowed his questions and quietly waited in the grass.

To verify what the right hand said, that the important item in the tunnel would attract the component back, Chen Yang had to remain quiet and focused, watching the distant construction site intently.

Ordinary people's attention is easily distracted by external factors, and even if not distracted, it's hard to maintain high concentration for a long time. However, humans have great potential. Specialized training, such as that of snipers in the military, can enable someone to remain motionless for hours, maintaining high concentration on their target.

After being trained by the right hand, this devil...

Chen Yang thought, "Several hours, hah, no problem at all."

Time gradually passed. Chen Yang mentally counted the time while keeping his eyes fixed on the construction site. When he reached 6600, the right hand suddenly said, "Be alert, it's coming."

What, really coming?

Chen Yang felt a surge of tension. He knew how monstrous the right hand's component was. Without the right hand controlling his body, he would be instantly killed by that monster.

"Commander Luosi, what should we do..."

"Shut up..."

Chen Yang's right hand suddenly extended, transforming into tens of thousands of hair-like filaments that fluttered in the air.

Using this method, the right hand could sense every movement on the construction site through the "information" in the air, as if seeing it with its own eyes, which was perfect for the dark night.

What surprised it slightly was that there were not only its components on the construction site but also two humans.

Now, they didn't seem very friendly.

A few hours earlier, before Chen Yang arrived at the construction site, there were already two police officers there.

"Captain Liu, is this really the right thing to do?"

Wang Xinhua scanned the construction site, "Do you think the murderer will return here?"

"The missing people haven't been found yet..."

Liu Zhongyi sat on the ground, smoking and speaking in a low voice, "Do you think there's a connection?"

Wang Xinhua frowned, pacing in place, "I don't know, this case is too strange. Who could make nearly ten people disappear, including several police officers?"

Normally, according to common sense, Li Ruidi and the others should have returned to the station last night, but no one reported back by late night. Calls to their phones went unanswered, which was indeed strange.

But no one paid attention at the time. It wasn't until the next morning, when calls were still unanswered, that Liu Zhongyi and the others realized something was wrong and rushed to the construction site.

The construction site was in chaos, as if it had been ransacked by vandals. Li Ruidi and the remaining construction workers had mysteriously disappeared.

Without hesitation, the station immediately dispatched over a hundred police officers to search the site and the tunnel thoroughly. When that yielded no results, they expanded the search to the surrounding areas, but still found no clues.

At this point, someone suggested that the missing people might no longer be in the area.

As for why they disappeared, who or what force was behind it, and where the missing people were, no one knew.

The sudden disappearance of five detectives immediately drew high attention from the city. Despite the major traffic accident on the highway that had captured most of the city leaders' attention, they still ordered the formation of a special task force to search for the missing people.

However, after a full day of extensive searches, they still found no trace of the missing people, casting a shadow over every detective involved.

Liu Zhongyi had a vague feeling that they were facing something unknown.

Originally, at least ten armed detectives should have remained at the construction site, but after a phone call from Liu Zhongyi, most of them were withdrawn, leaving only Liu Zhongyi and Wang Xinhua.

Wang Xinhua understood Liu Zhongyi's plan. That's why he was puzzled. Why did Liu Zhongyi think the murderer (suspected force) would return here?

"Do you think there's a connection between yesterday's case and the disappearance?"

Liu Zhongyi extinguished his cigarette and looked up.

"This... I don't understand this point."

Wang Xinhua smiled bitterly. If he understood, he wouldn't be waiting here.

"So, no matter how small the chance, waiting for the rabbit might have some effect."

Liu Zhongyi rubbed his temples, "We'll have to work hard these few nights, maybe we can find some clues."
