Chapter 288: Searching for 268, four

Hissss!!

The piercing sound of friction mixed with a shower of sparks.

The figure didn’t move at all, the right arm violently trembling, the sleeve of the dress being torn first.

Then came the tough skin underneath.

The skin was initially tough, but as a specially designed row of small lights on the chainsaw illuminated the area,

the figure’s skin began to gradually fade, disappear.

Soon, a few minutes later.

Hisss!

A complete forearm was then severed by Li Chengyi.

He weighed the forearm with satisfaction and carefully placed it in the freezer.

Then, carrying the chainsaw, he continued to walk towards the figure....

Half an hour later...

Hisss!

Inside the glass room, the silhouette of Li Chengyi appeared alongside a middle-aged woman.

He held a freezer in one hand and a Bone Mirror in the other, his expression seeming somewhat reluctant to leave.

"Boss, did you succeed?!" Dragon Gate Crane rushed over as soon as he walked out of the glass room.

"It’s done... The figure has completely disappeared," Li Chengyi nodded. "It’s just that she turned her head too slowly, so I used the Black Sea Ritual to speed her up. Without accelerating, we might not have made it in time."

"...." The others were at a loss for words.

This figure that was originally so terrifying—how did it become something as ordinary as a common blind spot when described by the boss?

The group watched him put the chainsaw away and place the freezer on the ground.

"The boss is mighty as always!!" Dragon Gate Crane was the first to step forward, eagerly flattering.

"Cut the crap, Da Xiong, come here," Li Chengyi beckoned Da Xiong.

"What is it, Brother Yi?" Da Xiong approached, puzzled.

"Look." Li Chengyi opened the freezer, took out the spray, and sprayed wildly inside it.

Instantly, within the black freezer, sections of neatly arranged female body limbs emerged.

"Here are hands, here are legs. These are ears, hair, torso. Except for her head which I couldn’t pull off, I’ve cut the rest of the parts well. Take them and preserve them for experiments."

Li Chengyi instructed.

"....." Da Xiong’s expression stiffened as he stared at the neatly arranged limbs inside the box, not knowing what to say for a moment...

"Is this real or fake?" Rainbow Candy, looking confused, came over and picked up a hand to squeeze it.

Pop!

The hand suddenly grabbed her arm tightly.

Ahh!!

She screamed and ran away in terror.

The figure’s hand also let go and was caught by Li Chengyi.

"Be careful, I spent a full half-hour cutting these." He said helplessly.

Xiao Zhong crouched down curiously and pinched it.

"Boss, what about the head? Couldn’t you bring it back?"

"I tried with the head. I cut off her neck, but the head was still floating in mid-air. It was like it was fixed in the air. You can’t think of her as a real person," answered Li Chengyi.

"Can I have a leg then?" Xiao Zhong asked.

"No problem," Li Chengyi was quite generous.

In fact, when the figure was dissected, there were no innards or the like; she was less a person and more like a set of Legos.

Or a model.

A model that carried the Blind Spot.

Soon, everything in the freezer was distributed.

The effect of the spray that revealed the hidden parts also disappeared. After confirming that the Blind Spot was really dealt with, they sent people to rescue the surviving middle-aged woman.

Blind Spot resolved.

The group’s mood lightened considerably.

When they were riding the elevator back up, Da Xiong intentionally stayed behind with Rainbow Candy.

"What’s been wrong with you these past few days? Are you in a bad mood?" Da Xiong had clearly noticed something off with Rainbow Candy lately.

"No..." Rainbow Candy smiled, "I’m fine, why would I be in a bad mood?"

"You can’t fool me..." Da Xiong took her hand. "Ever since we returned from Sutan, you have changed. The old you was afraid of nothing..."

"How can there be anyone who’s afraid of nothing?" The smile faded from Rainbow Candy’s face as she spoke with some complexity.

"We’re always facing Blind Spots, possibly disappearing or dying at any moment. What in Sutan could terrify you this much? You are not even scared of death, so what could possibly scare you?" Da Xiong said earnestly.

"I...." Rainbow Candy didn’t know how to respond.

She remembered being toyed with and surrounded by the Sand Thieves, cut and bled like a dog, wanting to bite her assailants but unable to even get close to them.

That feeling of powerlessness, that despair, the humiliation...

"I just feel that... my past self had nothing but arrogance..." Rainbow Candy said softly.

Da Xiong seemed to understand something. He stopped, turned around, and, with a firm move, embraced Rainbow Candy.

"Tang Tang... don’t be like this..."

"....."

"Actually... I’ve always seen you as a brother...."

"!!??!!"

Rainbow Candy’s expression froze, then slowly began to twist into a grimace.

"What... did you just say!!?"

"Uh... this...." Da Xiong blinked and, letting go, took off running.

"Da Xiong!!! You stop right there!!!" Rainbow Candy’s face turned red with the realization of her previous poverty and his generosity, and she erupted in anger, chasing after him.

Hiss.

A streak of purple brilliance flashed past, and she had transformed into her beautified state.

"You f*cking stop right there!! Open your damn eyes and take a good look at how big I am!!"

Rainbow Candy chased after Da Xiong, who had also transformed, sprinting down the street and quickly disappearing outside the company’s entrance.

From a distance, you could still hear Rainbow Candy’s roar and Da Xiong’s laughter.

"Da Xiong is still the one with the tricks up his sleeve. Sister Tang is finally back to normal," said Dragon Gate Crane, sighing next to Li Chengyi.

"It’s good that she’s recovered. She thinks no one has noticed, trying hard to hide it, but in fact... everyone knows," Li Chengyi said.

He patted Dragon Gate Crane on the shoulder.

"By the way, I’ll be busy with something these days and might not show up for a while. Let everyone know, if there’s anything, just leave a message on my phone."

"Got it, Boss," Dragon Gate Crane said, nodding earnestly.

"I hear you’ve made great progress in combat techniques?"

"You know about that, Boss?" Dragon Gate Crane said with an embarrassed smile. "Actually, it’s largely because my physical fitness has improved quite a bit. Plus, I got another strengthening injection a few days ago."

"Take care of your body, if something feels off, you can come to me. I have restorative Flower Language Techniques," Li Chengyi said.

"Will do, thanks Brother Yi."

Clearly, Rainbow Candy wasn’t the only one stimulated by the events involving Sutan.

One week later....

The Tightening Grasp Blind Spot.

Li Chengyi and Yserine lay side by side under the bed, silently looking forward.

They had been in this position for several hours now. But they had not made any gains so far.

Over the week, Da Xiong and Xiao Zhong in the Garden of Fate Team had fallen into new blind spots, with Rainbow Candy fully investigating clues to help them.

With Crescent Moon and Floral Dress Flower Language Techniques available,

they dealt with those blind spots quite easily. Li Chengyi didn’t need to show up to help with his Flash Appearance.

Apart from Xindela doing something mysteriously secretive, everyone in the team was making swift progress.

Physical fitness increased, senses sharpened, and Da Xiong specifically designed tailored training plans for everyone.

There was also a professional team at their service. Rainbow Candy even hired some Reinforced Humans with Grade Three and Four rankings to spar and train with the team.

Everyone was desperately improving themselves, and with the presence of Da Xiong and Li Chengyi, safety was ensured even when injuries occurred during training.

In such an environment, Rainbow Candy was the first team member to face-off against a Grade Three Reinforced Human without using Flower Language Techniques and win the fight.

Neither side used any external equipment or weapons, Rainbow Candy relied solely on her Floral Dress.

Such challenges tested one’s personal quality, skills, and experience to the extreme.

Dragon Gate Crane was the second one, succeeding shortly after, also defeating several Grade Three Reinforced Humans.

By this point, they were even stronger than Li Chengyi when he first received the Floral Dress.

You have to understand, Grade Four is the limit for commercial transformation suits.

Therefore, Grade Three was quite impressive among common people, stronger than Song Ran who was with Xindela by a large margin but just slightly weaker than Zhou Yan of Utopia.

With the team members all developing in a positive direction, Li Chengyi had much less to worry about.

So he began to concentrate on crawling under the bed with Yserine each day, hoping for luck.

Whoo...

A slight cold breeze began to blow gently from the other side of the bed.

The darkness slowly brightened, revealing a white expanse of ice and snow before the two of them.

"This is not it again..." sighed Yserine.

"No rush, as long as we keep at it, we should encounter it sooner or later," Li Chengyi reassured.

"Sigh... It feels like we’ve checked dozens, even hundreds, and so many of them appear repeatedly, but why hasn’t the Faceless Scholar showed up... It’s so annoying. My teacher has even started scolding me for not focusing on study!" Yserine complained.

"You should go back to your studies, I can actually do this alone," Li Chengyi consoled.

"But..."

"It’s okay, your teacher is also looking out for your best interest, go ahead," Li Chengyi said.

"Brother... Are you sure you’ll be fine? Remember, with my current ability, I can only stay there for fifteen minutes! If you miss the blind spot rotation, you might not be able to return!" Yserine expressed her concern.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’m a grown man after all."

After receiving Li Chengyi’s assurance repeatedly, Yserine finally left, though reluctantly.

Li Chengyi lay alone under the bed, waiting for the Faceless Scholar’s Blind Spot.

Observing the endless expanse of white with a giant table over ten meters in length in the middle,

he sighed and continued to wait motionlessly.

Time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye, another hour had gone by.

Darkness enveloped the space once more.

Several minutes later, the darkness receded.

A floor laid with black wooden boards slowly lit up.

Following the floor, walls came into view.

The walls, also made of thick black wood planks, looked somewhat familiar.

This was a square wooden cabin room.

A bed, a wooden desk and chair set, a corner fitted with a copper oil lamp — that was all the furniture there.

White daylight, bright and quiet, streamed in from outside the window, slightly hazy.

The mosquito net hanging over the bed across from them was lifted, revealing no one underneath.

Despite the silence in the room, Li Chengyi immediately recalled that this place was none other than the Faceless Scholar’s bedroom!!

"At last, I’ve found it!!"

His heart leaped with joy, he took a deep breath, quickly crawled out from under the bed, and entered the room.

He had only fifteen minutes, so he had to act quickly! Should the Faceless Scholar tangle with him, whether to kill or flee, both would severely affect his objective, so he planned to use Shadow Flash the entire time.
