Chapter 581: Chapter 578: The Feeling of Being Watched

Originally, according to Xiao Tian’s speculation, Melinda and Ghost Face were most likely to join the headquarters of the third force, as these people came from all corners of the world, making it the most secure destination.

Comparatively, although the other two camps were stronger and also made up of several forces, their differing sects and organizations prevented them from accommodating outsiders.

Therefore, they were not considered by Xiao Tian.

In fact, even now, when it comes to the whereabouts of Lin Bingxuan and Ghost Face, Xiao Tian still doesn’t believe it would be the other two camps.

If that’s the case, then things get rather tricky. The vastness of Kunlun makes it harder than finding a needle in a haystack if two people truly want to hide!

Thinking about it now, we can only take one step at a time, and the next step, Xiao Tian plans to start by inquiring about the Five Elements Crystal.

After all, Lin Bingxuan and Ghost Face’s purpose is to obtain the Five Elements Crystal, and as long as they can inquire about the whereabouts of the Five Elements Crystal, finding the two of them shouldn’t be a big problem.

The only concern is that, currently speaking, although it seems that Lin Bingxuan’s Endless Life combined with Ghost Face’s biohuman capabilities far surpass Xiao Tian in strength, it still leaves him uneasy.

Melinda turned her head, looked at Xiao Tian, who was frowning in thought, and softly asked, “What are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking…” Xiao Tian, whose thoughts were interrupted, pondered for a while and then said, “Why are there no wolves howling tonight?”

Melinda, recalling the feeling when she was in Xiao Tian’s arms, instantly blushed, teasingly replying, “Do you think wolves come and go at your beck and call? Besides, why do you want to hear wolves howling so badly?”

Xiao Tian laughed, “Of course, they won’t come when I say it, but it’s different when you say it. As for intentions…” Before finishing speaking, a wolf howl reached their ears.

“Owoooo…”

At this moment, Melinda couldn’t care about fear, only feeling deeply shocked. She just said a word, and wolves really appeared?

“Are you… a crow’s mouth?” Xiao Tian was also startled by Melinda’s word-invoking and asked dazedly.

“I am not!” Melinda angrily retorted, “Clearly, you brought it up first!”

Xiao Tian weakly countered, “But when I said it, nothing happened. When you spoke, they appeared. Could it be that you really have that special power where whatever you say comes true?”

Melinda immediately fell silent, unable to stop a sigh from escaping her heart. If only everything spoken could come true…

On the other hand, due to Ren Wenshan’s sudden fainting, Satan’s itinerary was forcibly delayed by three days.

In fact, a day earlier, Ren Wenshan had already awakened, but because of Wang Bin’s casual remark, he fainted again.

This situation amazed the top experts at Qing Province Central Hospital as it was the first time they had encountered such a patient!

Someone even suggested discussing with Ren Wenshan whether he could become a unique case for the hospital to provide some clinical data.

Of course, as compensation, all hospitalization expenses for Ren Wenshan would be waived, and he would also receive a monthly stipend of nine hundred yuan.

When Ren Wenshan heard the hospital’s request, he nearly fainted again, though this time out of anger.

Having chased away the hospital staff, Wang Bin timely entered. Seeing his current boss, Ren Wenshan hurriedly got up, “Young Master Wang!”

Wang Bin saw Ren Wenshan struggling to rise and quickly stepped up to support him, “Mr. Ren, I was skeptical before, but now I truly believe you. Please lie down, we will depart this afternoon!”

Ren Wenshan nodded, “Alright, I truly owe Young Master Wang an apology for delaying the trip because of me. I’m really sorry!”

“I have some responsibility in this matter too!” Wang Bin waved his hand and sat in front of Ren Wenshan, “But I am still curious, why can’t you hear these two words ’open mouth’, or even any homophone of it?”

“Could you tell us the story behind this?” Wang Bin’s curiosity was insatiable, not considering that the other party couldn’t even hear the words, let alone explain the reason!

As expected, Ren Wenshan trembled, “Young… Young Master Wang, what did you just say?”

Wang Bin was taken aback, “I asked if you could tell us the story behind it.”

“No, I mean the previous sentence, what did you say?” Ren Wenshan asked anxiously.

“The previous sentence?” Wang Bin thought for a moment and replied, “I mentioned why you faint at the words ’open mouth’, and even any homophones…”

Before finishing his sentence, Ren Wenshan, under Wang Bin’s shocked gaze, fell straight backward…

Realizing the situation, Wang Bin quickly pressed the emergency button at the bedside. In no time, a team of doctors and nurses dressed in white rushed in with various emergency equipment.

Meanwhile, Wang Bin was inevitably pushed out of the room, and even after being pushed out, his mind remained blank.

However, regardless of the reason, Wang Bin immediately issued a strict order to the remaining subordinates, “From today onward, nobody is allowed to mention the words ’open mouth’ or any homophone before Mr. Ren. Violators will be dismissed immediately!”

…

Three days later, the group finally embarked on their journey to Kunlun Mountain. On the plane, with nothing else to do, Wang Bin looked at Satan, who was sitting beside him with headphones on and eyes closed, and asked, “Can you confirm again whether Xiao Tian is still in Kunlun now?”

Ren Wenshan, sitting beside him, echoed, “Young Master Wang makes a good point. If Xiao Tian has left, wouldn’t this trip be for nothing?!”

For a long time, Satan remained silent, causing the two to exchange glances and start to wonder if he hadn’t heard them through the headphones.

Just as they were about to make a move, Satan nonchalantly spoke, “Do you think I can use such an ability without limits?”

Satan spoke without opening his eyes, but the opposing Ren Wenshan and Wang Bin’s subordinates distinctly felt as if they were being watched by him, leaving them all slightly frightened.

“The farther the target is from me, the greater the expenditure of such ability. Last time, helping you search for that person exhausted me greatly.” Satan coldly snorted, “Don’t expect anything in the coming days, wait until we reach Kunlun!”

After saying this, that eerie feeling of being watched by Satan vanished, leaving the group unsure of what to say.

However, Satan’s explanation made sense. If such a miraculous ability could be used indefinitely, it would be too unfair to ordinary people who possessed nothing!

Besides, Xiao Tian wouldn’t expect that we could find him. Once in Kunlun, his death will be certain and there’s no rush in the meantime!

——

On the other side, looking at Melinda lying quietly beside him, Xiao Tian asked out of the blue, “Have you ever had that feeling of suddenly being targeted?”

Hearing Xiao Tian’s inexplicable question, Melinda instinctively replied, “Yes!”
