Chapter 540: Su Qingqiu
The man codenamed Enkidu wore sunglasses and Southeast Asian-style floral shorts, as if he had just returned from a trip.
He did not follow the 'Hound' in a car. As a Reincarnator whose identity was public in the Dimension, Song Xian's information was easily obtainable.
Song Xian, an official East Xia Reincarnator, was estimated to possess strength between 'Strong · Upper Tier' and 'Fierce · Lower Tier'. He was suspected to be a Demon Fruit Ability User of the natural type, a Observation Haki user, excellent in physical combat, and a strength-specialized Reincarnator. His main attribute was guessed to be around 40 points.
Enkidu closed his eyes. He was a Reincarnator who had enhanced his 'Mutant' bloodline, a Level 3 Mental control-type Mutant.
He possessed a very special ability: 'Transcendental Perception', a pure sensing-type ability without offensive capabilities, making it difficult for opponents to detect.
With his current Mental attribute, he could sense targets within a range of approximately two hundred kilometers. If this distance was reduced to within one hundred kilometers, he could even precisely lock onto the target.
The closer the distance, the more he could perceive.
The Saint Being, where Enkidu belonged, accepted an extremely high bid of 1 b-class special point plus 20,000 dimensional points to execute the mission of locating Tao Pai Pai.
Saint Being was merely a team with upper-middle strength in the Second The Ladder. Their daring to accept this mission relied on Enkidu's ability.
Enkidu was unsure how far Song Xian's Observation Haki could perceive, but he guessed that the opponent definitely couldn't reach the level of foreseeing the future.
Therefore, he sat on the bus, remotely locking onto Song Xian and his group, who were about forty to fifty kilometers ahead of him.
He continuously sent updated locations to the legendary Kill White Alliance via his phone.
In reality, Enkidu had never met any members of the Kill White Alliance, only knowing that each person basically possessed Title-level or higher strength.
Most of these people held grudges against Tao Pai Pai.
Enkidu kept tapping the armrest of his seat, feeling a bit anxious.
As they moved further from the border and closer to East Xia's major cities, his unease grew.
Given Tao Pai Pai's lunatic nature, and the madness of those who dared to pursue him, if a battle erupted in a densely populated city,
It could very likely cause an unprecedented disaster.
How many casualties could a Reincarnator of Tao Pai Pai's level inflict if he launched a desperate counterattack before being eliminated…
The thought sent shivers down Enkidu's spine.
"You are a good person."
A soft laugh came from beside him. Enkidu, still wearing sunglasses, froze and sharply turned his head, indeed seeing that the middle-aged woman sitting next to him had, at some point, transformed into a young man with a ponytail.
The man wore a denim jacket, revealing a bronze chest underneath, with sideburns falling down. His eyes were filled with an appreciative smile.
Enkidu's breathing became heavy.
A Reincarnator!
He hadn't even noticed when the person appeared or how he had replaced the middle-aged woman's seat beside him without a sound.
Was it because he was too focused on sensing Tao Pai Pai's location?
The man reached out, appearing to lightly pat Enkidu's shoulder. Enkidu instinctively tensed, ready to spring up. Such a sudden appearance by a Reincarnator gave him an extreme sense of insecurity.
But a white light glowed on the man's right hand. The next moment, Enkidu felt his entire body become soft, and the long-standing fear and fatigue brought by Tao Pai Pai also vanished.
The man lightly patted Enkidu, reassuring him with a smile,
"Relax, you are a good person. I won't harm you."
"My target is only Tao Pai Pai."
With that, the man with the ponytail lay back down.
Whoosh~
The air was suddenly ripped apart by a powerful sonic boom, as a missile roared past not far from the bus.
Terrifying sound waves and shockwaves burst into the bus through the open windows.
Frightened screams erupted, and the bus driver's face turned ashen. He instinctively turned the steering wheel, and the bus immediately began to sway violently on the road.
Enkidu immediately rose slightly from his seat, ready to jump out of the bus at any moment. His nerves were taut; clearly, their assassination plan… had begun.
Boom!
A violent explosion sounded from a great distance. After swaying a few times, the bus stopped by the roadside.
Enkidu looked for the man with the ponytail again, only to find that he had disappeared. He had probably… gone to surround and kill Tao Pai Pai.
"Who exactly was that guy…?"
The other party's strange demeanor made Enkidu clearly realize that he was a high-level Reincarnator. With such a person participating, this encirclement probably did have some chance of success.
—
Boom!
The missile explosion's shockwave, accompanied by flames and high temperatures, swept through.
The black car, which had turned its direction in advance, swerved into the woods beside the road. It was about four to five hundred meters away from the missile's explosion point, but the impact and high temperature still made Officer Luo, who had never experienced such an event up close, turn pale.
Song Xian's brows furrowed, his entire body tensed. He looked around and immediately sensed someone rapidly approaching.
He thought for a moment and said,
"Officer Luo, you take Bai Cangshu and hide in the car. Call for backup from headquarters, close the doors and windows, and don't look at anything, understand?!"
Officer Luo had received training and knew this meant her master was preparing to act.
She immediately pulled Bai Cangshu back into the rear seat compartment, locked the car doors, and the privacy curtains instantly rose, completely obscuring the view outside.
"Bai Cangshu" vaguely saw white mist rising from the forest, instantly engulfing Song Xian.
He displayed a high degree of obedience, hiding in the back seat of the car with Officer Luo, his expression normal.
"Heh… heh, Bai Cangshu, don't worry, Master is very powerful…"
After thinking for a moment, she worried that Bai Cangshu might become resistant to future work and added,
"Dangerous work like that is all done by Master. You must have heard of ability users, right…?"
"Ordinary people like us just need to do well in logistics!"
Bai Cangshu's expression remained normal, watching the well-off woman reveal her innocent thoughts. The undisguised fondness in her eyes when she looked at him was evident.
He smiled. This kind of fondness was something that could easily benefit him, and he didn't mind increasing it.
"Oh? Ability Users, I don't know much about them. Could you tell me about them, Miss Luo?"
He subtly changed his address from Officer Luo to Miss Luo.
The woman didn't notice at all. While taking out a satellite phone and quickly dialing a number, she gestured to Bai Cangshu to remain quiet and calm for now.
Bai Cangshu, however, suddenly patted Officer Luo's shoulder. He pointed to the front windshield, which wasn't covered by the privacy curtain. There, a man with a ponytail was silently crouching on the car's hood.
"Ah!"
Officer Luo gasped in fright at the sight, while Bai Cangshu merely watched the man with interest.
Su Qingqiu frowned and reached out again.
Detect Evil!
After the ability was activated, no evil aura appeared on the two people inside the car.
On the contrary, the necklace on the woman's neck emitted a faint golden spiritual light.
Su Qingqiu felt something was wrong. It was a known fact that Tao Pai Pai possessed the Killing Intent Ripple ability, and it was also a fact that he massacred extensively to increase his Killing Intent Ripple.
But how could he not be detected by his Detect Evil ability…
There were only two explanations.
First, Tao Pai Pai possessed a special ability that exempted him from his detection;
Second, the person in front of him… was not Tao Pai Pai at all.
"It seems we've been played…"
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and the black car's glass vibrated violently. A bullet spun, leaving a clear mark on the bulletproof glass.
A man in a black trench coat emerged from the woods.
"Su Qingqiu, hurry up and act!"
"That group won't be able to control Song Xian for long. This is East Xia, we don't have much time!"
Su Qingqiu ignored him, simply took out his phone, and dialed a number.
"Hello, the operation here failed. You were right, Tao Pai Pai didn't come back."
