The air in the room was extremely dull, and the sky outside the window became dim without knowing it. The clouds continued to gather and formed thick clouds, like an invisible hand covering the sky and the sun, making the entire land breathless.
There was a damp smell in the wind, and the already hurried passers-by on the street walked even more hurriedly because they knew that a heavy downpour was coming.
Xia Yuxi stood by the window, staring blankly at the gloomy sky, feeling a little at a loss.
The fear caused by the strange experience just now still remained in her heart, and a faint chill seemed to still surround her back, so that she even breathed with extreme caution, for fear that the paper centipede would come back again——
For a moment just now, she thought she was really going to die.
Fortunately, the worst did not happen, and the paper centipede seemed to have really left.
During this period, Lu Zhan on the other end of the phone remained silent. Xia Yuxi knew very well that this was because the other party was unsure of her current situation and was worried that speaking out rashly would bring danger to herself.
"I'm fine."
After a while, Xia Yuxi took a deep breath and spoke into the headphones.
Lu Zhan's voice sounded quickly, as if he was relieved: "I have asked Chen Shi to pass. He will arrive soon. How is the situation over there?"
Previously, Liu Qingqing was hunted down, and now Xia Yuxi is in danger again. Two of his subordinates have suffered accidents one after another. You can imagine how he feels.
"Paper centipede, a centipede made of paper entered my house." Xia Yuxi said in a heavy tone.
"Paper centipede?"
"Um."
Xia Yuxi recounted what had just happened in detail, and still felt a little frightened after finishing the story.
"Just the breath makes you unable to move..."
Lu Zhan was silent for a moment and said solemnly, "If the influence of ability is excluded, then the opponent is at least at the level of an A-level transcendent."
"But it's just a centipede made of paper."
"That's right, so the guy who controls the centipede... may have surpassed A level in strength."
"More than level A..."
Xia Yuxi's body suddenly stiffened and she said hastily, "Is it S-level?"
"...Maybe even higher."
Ever since I witnessed the terrifying power of Black Haena half a year ago, S-level is no longer the highest extraordinary level known to humans.
However, even though there are dungeons in the restricted area that seem to have "experience bonuses", there are still no rumors of anyone breaking through to S level.
"Is there such a thing in Dongyang City?" Xia Yuxi asked.
"There must be S-levels, but I have never seen them. Such powerful people are usually hidden in various cities and are only used at critical moments... But I don't think this matter may have anything to do with Dongyang City."
At this moment, Lu Zhan suddenly said, "Chen Shi is here, go and open the door for him."
After hearing these words, Xia Yuxi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. In her impression, although Chen Shi was a taciturn guy, he was a very reliable companion and a professional extraordinary person who was good at fighting.
It'll be great if this guy comes.
She looked out through the peephole and saw no one, but even so, she opened the door.
"How are you?"
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from behind her. Xia Yuxi turned her head and saw a figure appearing on the sofa at some point, looking around the living room with an expressionless face——
This person is none other than Chen Shi.
I actually didn't notice this guy's arrival at all.
However, Xia Yuxi has long been used to this, because this is exactly Chen Shi's ability - he can greatly reduce his presence in the environment to the point of almost non-existence.
"I'm fine." she replied.
"Remember to close the door." Chen Shi suddenly reminded.
"You don't need to remind me."
Xia Yu closed the door angrily, and then told Chen Shi the whole story.
Chen Shi listened expressionlessly, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me one of your headphones."
He took an earphone from Xia Yuxi and put it on his ear.
"How was the scene?" Lu Zhan's voice just came from the earphones.
"Nothing unusual was found."
Chen Shi shook his head. This was the result of his repeated observations several times.
"I just checked carefully and there is nothing missing in my house." Xia Yuxi added.
"The purpose of manipulating such a powerful paper man to come to your home is neither to get anything nor to kill you, so what is the purpose..."
Lu Zhan, who was on the other end of the phone, thought for a long time and said, "You shouldn't have provoked anything weird recently, right?"
"No."
Xia Yuxi is very sure about this. She has been working in the police station recently, so even if she wants to provoke weird things, she has no chance.
"Since the guy went to your house, but didn't do anything to you, or even turned a blind eye to you, then the other party obviously has a very clear purpose, so that the other party can ignore everything that is irrelevant, and it is very likely that something is involved behind it.
He is a top transcendent of at least A level, then..."
Lu Zhan's thoughts whirled and he suddenly said in a deep voice, "Chen Shi, please immediately mobilize all surveillance and focus on the area I asked you to monitor - including the police station."
"Understood." Chen Shi said calmly.
"Do you have any clues?" Xia Yuxi was a little curious. The other party seemed to have discovered something.
Lu Zhan did not answer, but said calmly: "Chen Shi."
Chen Shi suddenly understood, glanced at Xia Yuxi, and stretched out a hand towards her.
Xia Yuxi understood instantly, gently grabbed his hand, closed her eyes and activated [Telepathy].
The next second, her eyes widened.
Chen Shi told her enough information from his heart.
Because of his ability, most of Chen Shi's previous tasks were responsible for cleaning up and assassinating extraordinary people, keeping an eye on those dishonest forces, such as Huang Quan, etc., and rarely performed surveillance work.
And he has only been responsible for one surveillance mission——
That is to pay attention to the whereabouts of the tomb keeper.
And if you want to say who is the most terrifying being that Xia Yuxi can be related to, it is undoubtedly the gravekeeper.
The key point is...that guy has been to her house!
So...could that paper centipede come after Bai Mo's breath?
Of course, the appearance of the paper centipede may also be related to the mud-covered corpse that only appeared for a while and then disappeared. That thing was also very strange, and it was suspected to be related to the mysterious coffin burial place...
In addition, it cannot be ruled out that it is related to today's inquiry to Bixian - but this possibility is relatively small, otherwise the target of the centipede should be directly on Xia Yuxi.
Gravekeeper?...
Xia Yuxi retracted her thoughts, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and said in a panic: "By the way, the thing I 'saw' today..."
"Don't say it on the phone." Lu Zhan interrupted her seriously.
"Why?"
Lu Zhan did not explain, but said in a solemn tone: "You have been hiding with Qingqing recently. Chen Shi went to City No. 1 to contact Xu Han in person, being careful not to be discovered, so that the woman could secretly hide Yu Xi.
Take it to the parliament with Qingqing."
"Meeting, Parliament!?"
Xia Yuxi was stunned. For some reason, she sensed a sense of crisis in Lu Zhan's words.
"Three days later, the council will hold a city district meeting. It seems to be discussing the issue of the 'Advocate for the Zone'. All remaining districts in the safe zone will participate, and I will also go."
Xia Yuxi was stunned and said: "Why would you go to such an important meeting..."
"I am not representing Dongyang City. This is a separate invitation from the parliament, and Xu Han is also among them."
I see, is it related to that incident...
Xia Yuxi soon realized that although the council had a poor sense of Dongyang City due to various reasons, perhaps because they and Lu Zhan had dealt with the Equality Paradise half a year ago, they seemed to remember Lu Zhan and
To be continued...
