Chapter 50 – Human figure

From departure to arrival, he transited onto the metro and finally arrived at Jiu Jiang at dinner time.

Next to the taxi stand was a speciality fried noodle store, the boss was friendly and knowing that Meng Ke was here for the first time, he boisterously invited him in.

Meng Ke ate four bowls of rice and a bowl of fried noodles, which barely made him 70% full, and after drinking a mouthful of tea and he asked the surprised boss about any nearby hotels.

That red dot was in the city area in Jiu Jiang, and after finding a place to stay, he rested for a bit and left the hotel.

At this time, the sky was already dark and the nightlife was bustling, the streets were illuminated with a yellow glow, and as he walked towards the main street, he could see more people around.

The main street of every city was the busiest, and except for holidays, the crowds flowed through like streams.

A red arrow in Meng Ke’s vision pointed towards the location Meng Ke was seeking.

But as he got closer, his heart got heavier.

On the screen, the red dot had moved a bit in the day, but it quickly stopped and never moved again.

The movement of the red dot could mean that that person had already found out about his ability, and that he had already tried it out.

And as he got closer to the dot, more and more people were in the area, Meng Ke had a feeling that the person had purposefully come to a crowded area.

Another person’s life or death wasn’t something he should be worried about, it was fine if this person was aiming to do something like taking his revenge on society, if not……

Then, this kind of movement meant that he was aiming to reap some benefits for himself, and this would undoubtedly make everything more troublesome.

This was like Meng Ke’s first time scattering his spiritual threads, affecting four thousand people at once and changing a school entirely in one night.

And that was the time that his energy had explosively increased, gaining him the ability to gather his funds.

If this person intended to do the same, then this wouldn’t be an easy matter to take care of.

Thinking of this, Meng Ke’s brows uncontrollably furrowed as his steps became faster.

There were only 10 meters left.

Meng Ke stopped walking, in front of him was the central square in Jiu Jiang city, and there were adults with their children, boys with girls, and people walking around everywhere.

Just like how other people couldn’t see his phantasies, Meng Ke couldn’t see anything here.

Xuan Nv changed the arrow into a sea of red in front of him, and the reddened world quickly shrank into a concentrated area as a red figure contrasted against the light.

His detection ability didn’t just point at locations, it was an ability that could detect supernatural powers, and because of Xuan Nv, he was able to use this ability in a way that was visible.

The surroundings of the red figure didn’t have supernatural powers, and it wasn’t tough for Meng Ke to see his outline, the air was like water, and supernatural powers were just like fish, and how would it be difficult to see fish in the water?

“Spiritual body?”

It was invisible to the human eye, and Meng Ke instantly thought of his spiritual power which was also invisible.

Instantly, spiritual power spilled forth, and just as it was about to touch the human figure, rather than clashing, it passed through it with ease.

At this time, another person walked through the red human figure.

“Is it unaffected by the objective world?”

If that were the case, Meng Ke would be rather troubled, since he wouldn’t be able to even touch the other person, and the other person was completely unaffected by him, how was he able to play?

Suddenly, Meng Ke’s heart thumped. He thought of a way, not just spiritual power, he had another ability that he could use.

In that instant, a spiritual thread reached towards the red figure.

Meng Ke smiled, the spiritual thread had successfully connected.

He was lucky that he wasn’t completely incapable of coming into contact with it.

Compared to spiritual power, illusions were his true ability, and no matter who it was, as long as they were connected to his spiritual threads, their senses would be completely controlled by Meng Ke.

And following that, Meng Ke had Xuan Nv display their senses before him as if it was a movie.

“Where is this?”

Contrary to his expectations, in the display before him, a monitor placed on a desk appeared. 

Drink bottles, ashtrays, a potted plant and 2D figurines……

It seemed to be a room?

It didn’t take long for Xuan Nv to surround Meng Ke with a holographic display.

A man with bared shoulders and leggings was holding onto a half-eaten bowl of rice, and the computer before him was playing an anime from Benzi. The room was messy, and his bed was covered with clothes. (Benzi, the country, is basically Japan.)

Shouldn’t he be in the central square?

Or, was the red figure in the central square just his puppet?

Spiritual threads were connected to the target’s consciousness, which meant that the red figure was a part of this man, but his main consciousness wasn’t there.

Then, does that mean that the man in that room was the main body?

Meng Ke sighed in relief, it was much easier now that he had found the main body.

Through Xuan Nv’s display of this man’s data, this man had the body of an average human being.

And now that he was connected through the spiritual thread, Meng Ke directly created a phantasy in front of the man.

“Eh? Fuck! Who are you? How did you appear in my house?! What do you want?!”

Luo Chao was eating and watching his anime, and after he had casually glanced to his side, a mysterious man dressed in a red robe appeared from thin air next to him.

Meng Ke couldn’t be bothered to waste his time, and started guiding the man as he asked.

“What are you planning to do in the central square?”

Under the guidance of his subconsciousness, Luo Chao felt as though the person before him was someone he could trust unconditionally, and if he chose to lie, it would be shameful and he would be harming himself.

“Central square? I haven’t even left the house in months!”

Luo Chao tried his best to remember, and he truly wanted to help this mysterious man, but he hadn’t left in a long time and couldn’t even remember how to get to the central square.

Meng Ke could also feel the immense shame that came from his heart, and such emotion from his subconsciousness wasn’t something a top actor could replicate.

He didn’t know?

Meng Ke could confirm that the human figure was related to this man, and even though Luo Chao was unaware now, it was most likely because he didn’t discover his own ability yet.

And it was plausible, the red dot had only appeared for less than a day, and it was completely normal that he didn’t notice just yet.

“Today, from 7.34 am to 2.45 pm, what were you doing?”

During this time period, that red dot was actively moving, and as long as he knew what Luo Chao was doing, he would be able to see how the human figure had connected with him.

Luo Chao was stunned before he replied without thinking, “7 am to 2 pm? I was sleeping!”
