Chapter 109: Chapter 109: He Fell into the Trap

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!”

The faint gunshots were easily dispersed by the night breeze high above, causing no significant commotion.

All three surveillance drones of the Nirvana Association silently plummeted to the ground.

“Report! We’ve found a suspected drone command vehicle. The target is preparing to turn around and flee!”

“Pursue! Eliminate them!”

Zhuo Jiayi immediately ordered.

One of the vehicles instantly broke away from the team, leading a swarm of drones above to chase the business car.

In a frontal confrontation, the financial conglomerate’s strength was much greater than that of the Nirvana Association, not to mention that the latter was merely an investigation team, not a professional combat squad, and their equipment couldn’t compare.

The two sides were simply not on the same level.

Zhuo Jiayi could easily guess that the other party was from the Nirvana Association, and he didn’t regard them as a threat, continuing the pursuit of Su Xin with the remaining team.

However, to avoid alerting the enemy, he didn’t dare to directly surround them, instead arranging for some people to act along the route taken by the figure in the black robe, while they set up a rigorous ambush around.

Although the figure in the black robe could change areas or switch routes at any time, making all their preparations potentially in vain.

Against such a highly mobile enemy, this was the only way.

While traveling in the car, Zhuo Jiayi selected the destination on the map and planned the ambush in advance.

Soon, the group arrived at the destination.

Everyone took their positions as planned.

All equipment was urgently deployed.

Actors took their places.

Snipers were in position.

Additionally, there were remote-controlled bombs and infrasound weapons, as well as a type of tracking bomb containing a special scent. Once detonated, it could spread this special scent within a ten-meter radius in half a second, clinging to every person and object, unable to be washed off, only gradually fading over time and dispersing.

And once this special scent clung to someone’s body, their trained dogs could track the target accurately within a five-kilometer radius based on the scent.

Zhuo Jiayi was convinced that under their inescapable net, the figure in the black robe could not escape unharmed.

As long as the figure in the black robe was hit by any move, they would either suffer severe injuries, die, or have their identity locked, unable to hide in the dark any longer.

Even if the figure with the black robe, stained with this special scent, instantly teleported hundreds of kilometers away to hide, they could use this as a clue to check who was missing from their list of suspects, thereby uncovering the true identity of the figure in the black robe.

In short, as long as the black-robed figure took the bait in this operation, they would reap some rewards.

After a rustling sound, the scene returned to silence.

Zhuo Jiayi and others hid in the car, observing the scene through discreetly set-up surveillance devices.

Everyone was on high alert.

…

“Help!!”

A terrified scream echoed through the night sky.

Accompanied by hurried footsteps, two figures darted into the dark alley one after another, followed by the thuds of fists and kicks, along with muffled groans and cries.

“Damn it! You dare trick me, today I’ll beat you to a pulp!”

“For tricking me! For tricking me!”

“Damn you, little punk!”

The tall man furiously kicked the man on the ground while cursing incessantly.

His voice carried far with the night breeze, quickly catching Su Xin’s attention.

With a few unhurried instances of instant teleportation later.

Su Xin, clad in a black robe, appeared at the alley entrance.

Glancing at the scene in the alley, without thinking too much, he instantly teleported behind the tall man.

Inside the hidden command vehicle, Zhuo Jiayi’s eyes lit up upon seeing Su Xin’s silhouette appear in the alley, and he immediately ordered:

“Attack!!”

As his voice fell, the next moment.

A blazing fireball erupted from the alley, an invisible shockwave sweeping in all directions.

A large mass of pale white smoke merged with the bomb’s invisible shockwave, quickly spreading in all directions, covering a large area of the alley in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, behind a wall in the alley, an infrasound generator silently activated, emitting an invisible, inaudible infrasound wave.

On two rooftops over a hundred meters away, two vigilant snipers made slight adjustments to their gun sights in a very short time, aiming at the position where the black robe appeared, disregarding the rapidly enveloping white smoke, and almost simultaneously pulled the trigger.

Faced with such a sudden change, Su Xin had no time to react and was submerged by the overwhelming attack.

He only felt waves of intense pain throughout his body, his brain trembled, and he experienced a strong sense of nausea and dizziness, with his internal organs feeling tumultuous.

Soon after, he lost all bodily sensation.

Since gaining the “Ghostly Illusion” trait, Su Xin could consciously control the time of his resurrection, and unlike previous deaths, his mind did not fall into darkness but remained conscious, only unable to perceive his body’s existence.

Upon realizing his death, he immediately issued the command for resurrection.

All his sensations returned to normal.

His body was unscathed, not even his clothes were damaged, standing proudly amidst the pale white smoke.

He attempted to cast a “Counter-Curse” on the two in front of him but found it ineffective, indicating that these two were not the ones who attacked him.

Su Xin revoked his instant teleportation, returning to a place he had been ten minutes earlier, closing his eyes.

After three seconds, “Self-Deception” was activated.

Entering a “Stealth State,” Su Xin canceled the instant teleportation again, returning to the previous alley entrance.

…

Inside the command vehicle.

Zhuo Jiayi and three others sat in front of the surveillance monitor, fixated on the screen.

In the footage, the fire and smoke almost simultaneously spread, engulfing the two acting subordinates and the figure in the black robe.

Through the pale white smoke, they could faintly see the standing figure.

“We’ve got him! He’s hit!”

“His body is swaying, it looks like he’s about to fall! We’ve succeeded!”

Just as they showed a hint of joy, one exclaimed, “Oh no! He’s gone!”

Zhuo Jiayi’s face darkened, saying:

“Don’t panic, after taking so many attacks, if he’s not dead, he’s seriously injured, and he’s also been hit by the tracking bomb. As long as he doesn’t flee beyond Lening City, he can’t escape our grasp.”

“With the night still upon us, and few people on the streets, quickly deploy the tracking dogs for a full city search.”

Speaking, he raised his hand to press the communication button on his earpiece, ordering again:

“All personnel, prepare to evacuate.”

“All reserve personnel, immediately treat the wounded and clean up all clues at the scene.”

The reserve personnel, comprising fifteen members of the Wolf Fang Squad, included the two actors injured in the ambush.

Before Zhuo Jiayi and others arrived, all operations here were originally under the command of Captain Lin of the Wolf Fang Squad, and now they could only serve as reserve combat members, unable to know the core combat plan, following orders precisely.

Even tasks like having subordinates act to lure out the figure in the black robe, they had to execute.

It’s known that during the ambush of the black robe, the actors were also within the ambush circle, enduring the same bomb and infrasound attacks as the black robe.

This carried significant risks to life.

Under Zhuo Jiayi’s command, three black business cars scattered in different directions moved toward the alley, preparing to provide emergency treatment to the wounded and collect all traces left by the figure in the black robe at the scene.

Seeing everyone carrying out their tasks methodically, Zhuo Jiayi made a phone call, arranging for other members guarding the temporary base to bring several pre-prepared tracking dogs, planning to form several groups to track the whereabouts of the figure in the black robe after meeting up.
