Blind Spot
Chapter 180 - 169 Fusion One

Chapter 180: 169 Fusion One

Three days later.

"The Chief of Safety in Yunshan County went missing, Brother Cheng, do you know?"

Li Chengyi was sitting in front of the small building in the botanical garden, slowly flipping through the Floral Holy Scripture.

He had not read many pages when he heard Rainbow Candy rush in, all fire and brimstone, and immediately whip out her phone to tell him.

"To dare commit a crime at this time, and even dare to target the Safety Bureau, they really have a death wish!" Her face was one of disbelief.

"Indeed," Li Chengyi frowned and put down the book, "The entire country is on edge right now, to pull this off all of a sudden, the murderer has some guts..."

Even he dared not make any rash moves, which meant the person behind this clearly had much more nerve than him.

"A Jiu Yi Commissioner has already volunteered to go investigate. Looks like Yunshan County is about to get chaotic. Brother Cheng, didn’t you say that was the location of the Blind Spot Wolf Cave?" Rainbow Candy asked.

"Yes. You mean...it’s related to the Blue Book?" Li Chengyi had just asked Song Ran that morning, and the boss was still not awake.

Trouble had erupted here now.

This made him involuntarily think of the last time, that gunman who assassinated Mr. Mu and even tried to ambush him.

If it weren’t for his armor, he might have actually fallen victim to that guy.

"I think it’s related." Rainbow Candy nodded. She was the complete opposite of her usual lazy self, staring at Li Chengyi with an unusually serious gaze.

"Brother Cheng, since you mentioned before about investigating a thorough way to get rid of the Blind Spot, I’ve taken it to heart. Before, you said the Blue Book might be related to this. I’m thinking, you all are about to get busy with the Blind Spot, and I’m the only one who’s just become free..."

"You...what do you mean?" Li Chengyi frowned and stood up.

"I want to take a look!" Rainbow Candy said solemnly. "Anyway, it’s all the same if we die; the longer we delay, the slimmer our hope."

She grabbed one side of her ponytail with one hand and pulled down, taking a deep breath.

"While my Blind Spot hasn’t reached its most difficult stage...I’m going to give it my all!"

"Are you sure about this?" Li Chengyi became serious, too. He had not anticipated that Rainbow Candy would take action before he even had the chance to.

But she had always been decisive, doing whatever came to mind without hesitation.

"I’ve prepared the gear, and I’ve prepared the consumables. I’ll go scout ahead, and when you, Brother Cheng, have sorted things out, come find me, how about that?" She smiled, revealing a trace of ease.

Li Chengyi observed her and suddenly understood.

The Garden of Fate, this small organization, through numerous collaborations, had started to mesh well together.

They had also started to trust each other.

And now, the goal he had set seemed to have made Rainbow Candy give up her previous life of despair, deciding to go all out instead.

He understood such a decision.

And felt a trace of relief.

After thinking it over, Li Chengyi spoke again.

"About the Blue Book situation, it’s like this..." He shared in detail with Rainbow Candy everything he had experienced there, including the dangers of the Blue Cave, the ancient books in the water that could not be retrieved, and the shadowy figures laying traps outside.

"Remember not to be reckless, conceal yourself, and wait for us to come over and act together. That place is very sinister," Li Chengyi warned.

"I know, don’t worry, Brother Cheng!" Rainbow Candy grinned. "If I die, all the people within a five-hundred-meter radius will have to be buried with me!"

She patted the large bag on her back.

"I’ve brought a real treasure!"

"...I think.. this might be a bit excessive..." Li Chengyi choked, suddenly remembering this girl’s special hobby.

"Isn’t it you, Brother Cheng, who said it’s very dangerous?" Rainbow Candy patted her slightly bulging chest.

Li Chengyi then noticed, for the first time, that this girl actually had curves!?

He blinked.

"That’s...."

"Two T9s, each can blow up half a street, how about that?" Rainbow Candy patted her chest proudly.

Li Chengyi was lost for words.

He knew about the T9, one of her favorite high-powered bombs.

This girl, when crazy, even terrorists would fear...

After getting the clues she wanted from Li Chengyi, Rainbow Candy left contentedly.

As she drove towards Yunshan County, and Li Chengyi, having seen her off, returned to the botanical garden, he arrived just as Manager Chen Yuqin had managed to purchase some Common Feilian plants, all of which were blooming.

Over a hundred of them, all packed tightly into a few big boxes.

The packages were triple-layered, then wrapped again in special foam paper that could suspend the plants’ vital processes.

Li Chengyi directed the employees to start unpacking the plants.

Then he placed the plants side by side on the ground, neatly arranged.

The tiny red-purple flowers, sandwiched between lots of green leaves, were inconspicuous.

Yet, they were key to Li Chengyi’s later evolution of the Floral Dress and Flower Language Technique.

As the sun slanted down, he squatted down and slowly caressed the little flowers with his hand.

Hiss.

A cool breeze of flower energy surged onto the back of his hand. The evolutionary degree of the Feilian Floral Dress from a single evolution increased by 1%.

"It’s still alive. Time to transplant!" he commanded.

"Right!"

The employees quickly took the plants and rushed to the small greenhouse which had been adjusted with the right parameters.

Since there were professionals handling the transplantation, Li Chengyi did not interfere.

He observed from the side, taking it as a learning experience.

You start by digging holes, basing the size, depth, and width on the development of the plant’s roots.

Then you determine the soil’s moisture, acidity, nutrient ratio, surrounding light intensity, air humidity, and temperature, and so on.

It was all quite complicated.

More than an hour later, with all hands on deck from the staff, all the plants were roughly in position in the ground.

"I’ll check on it," Li Chengyi feigned inspecting the transplant situation, but in reality he stepped forward to use the Radiance Field, replenishing the vitality of these plants.

Not only that, recently he also discovered that the Radiance Field could also remove minor pests and diseases from plants, making it a veritable cure-all Flower Language Technique.

Nurturing plants, absorbing the essence of flowers, as wave after wave of Feilian continued to arrive.

The amount of essence needed for one evolution kept increasing.

On the morning of the 25th.

Li Chengyi slowly removed his hand from the purple-red bloom.

A stream of cool essence flowed into the back of his hand.

’Feilian (contaminated): Evolution progress 100%, Evil Thoughts: 0%. ’

’Finally done.’

Li Chengyi let out a long sigh of relief.

Only Evil Thoughts were left.

Doo doo doo...

The phone vibrated.

Li Chengyi took it out and glanced at it before pressing to answer the call.

"Has it arrived?" he asked first.

"Yes, boss," Xiao Zhong’s voice came from the other end. "Da Xiong entered."

"Send me the location."

Li Chengyi hung up the phone and looked at the location map sent to his phone.

It wasn’t far from here, near Everpeace Garden, just a few kilometers away.

"Manager Chen, just follow the plan for what comes next. I’ll be stepping out."

He turned to Chen Yuqin, who was holding a contract and waiting.

"Sure. But there are still a few contracts waiting here..." Chen Yuqin nodded but hesitated slightly.

"No worries." Li Chengyi pulled out some AR glasses from his pocket and slid a finger across his phone’s screen, instantly transferring the map location to the glasses’ display.

"I’ll be back soon."

He turned and walked towards the exit of the botanical garden.

The gate slowly opened automatically, and a red sports car screeched into a drift, turning to stop right in front of the gate.

The car door opened upwards.

"Welcome aboard," the AI’s voice sounded.

"Where’s Rainbow Candy?" Li Chengyi sat in the passenger seat, and the door closed.

"The host has already returned, attempting to provide assistance. She sent me to pick you up first," the AI voice responded.

"Have the other members with access rights provided comprehensive data yet? Would you like to check?" it asked.

"Send it over," Li Chengyi took a deep breath to adjust his state.

In an instant, a flood of detailed information—text, images, and more—popped up within the scope of his glasses.

It described in detail how Da Xiong suddenly entered, the specific location, time, climate, among other details.

It also listed what preparations and equipment other members had made and their plans.

Two minutes later.

Mengsha Hot Spring Resort.

In front of the orange-yellow entrance gate, all the passersby and customers had been cleared out, and the entire hot spring resort, not very large, was completely booked by Rainbow Candy and Dragon Gate Crane.

The owner was temporarily chased away by Dragon Gate Crane’s men, and only a few staff members remained.

Rainbow Candy and Da Hei stood outside on the lawn waiting for Li Chengyi.

The sports car stopped, and the door flew up.

Li Chengyi got out, his gaze first falling on Rainbow Candy.

"Have you tried everything?"

"Yeah, there’s no response at all, all the testing equipment was brought over but to no avail!" Rainbow Candy nodded, a clear tinge of anxiety in her eyes.

She and Da Xiong had been best friends since childhood, and both would risk their lives for each other.

At such a time, her inability to help or know anything left her particularly agitated.

"It’s alright. Don’t be afraid," Li Chengyi approached. "Take me to the last place she was seen."

He passed between several people and entered through the resort’s gate.

"It’s just the first omen, Da Xiong will enter on the second occurrence, she’ll be fine!" Da Hei reassured.

"Yeah, don’t think Da Xiong is always gentle and quiet, but actually, she’s really cunning! I tried several times to touch her when she was asleep..." Dragon Gate Crane didn’t finish his sentence before a slap from Rainbow Candy shut him up, and he no longer dared to speak.

"Are you asking to die!" Rainbow Candy’s pretty face turned red, her hand unconsciously reaching for the stun baton at her waist.

Dragon Gate Crane immediately paled and quickly retreated to hide behind Da Hei.

On the other side, Da Hei and Xiao Zhong led the way, and Li Chengyi quickly reached an indoor hot spring.

The entire spring featured a tiered skylight made from rosewood overhead, with the ground covered in black hexagonal tiles.

On the side, there were two light green hot springs shaped like the number 8.

At the moment, the water was still bubbling slightly, with steam continuously rising.

"She entered while soaking in the hot spring. The troubling thing is, Da Xiong only brought two waterproof pieces of equipment; she didn’t bring the rest with her and left everything at the poolside without time to grab it," Rainbow Candy said with a grimace.

"I was actually planning to go to Yunshan County today, but I hurried over as soon as I got the news."

She had been busy investigating around Wolf Cave recently and wouldn’t have flown over so quickly had it not been for Da Xiong’s incident.

"Where are my things?" Li Chengyi asked.

"I brought them," Xiao Zhong said, picking up a silver briefcase from not far away and handing it to Li Chengyi.
