The residential complex he was renting in was considered upper-middle class.
When he'd rented the place, the agent had made it clear that non-residents couldn't enter, and outsiders couldn't enter freely—the security was very reliable.
But!!!
Why could his sister's car enter, and why did the barrier automatically lift?
He'd looked very carefully just now.
The automatic barrier had a screen displaying:
[License: Bing-A·D4312] [Welcome Home, Resident]
This was clearly a prompt that only appeared when a vehicle was registered to a resident!
Jiang Yuan thought back very, very carefully to everything that had happened these past few days.
He'd arrived the day before yesterday, and when renting the apartment, his sister had been with him the whole time. She'd had no opportunity to inform the property management to register her vehicle information.
Since arriving in Bingjiang Province, aside from the period from yesterday noon to three in the morning, he'd been with his sister constantly.
So during that time, it was also impossible for her to have registered her vehicle.
Registered yesterday noon or afternoon?
Also impossible.
Because at that time, his sister had taken a taxi to surround Wang Rou and the others!
She couldn't possibly have returned to the complex specifically to register her vehicle before going to surround them, right?
No one with brain damage would do something like that.
Registered when she returned at dawn?
Even more impossible.
Because registering resident vehicle information required the property manager to operate on his office computer.
At dawn, only security guards were on duty. The property management in this complex was very professional—not like some property management companies on Earth where security guards could handle everything. This was to prevent security guards from being harassed by outsiders about vehicles, and to prevent security guards from letting in strangers if they had remote controls.
After all, with supernatural powers and unrestricted weapons in this world, safety wasn't guaranteed. This was standard procedure for upper-middle-class and above residential complexes in this world.
So for that barrier, unless you registered the vehicle information or received temporary resident authorization, even the security guards couldn't let you in. There was no remote control to simply press and lift the barrier.
And what property manager would register vehicle information for a resident at dawn?
Since it wasn't registered when she returned at dawn, it couldn't be that she returned specifically during the encirclement to register her vehicle information, right?
What would be the point???
The more he thought about it, the more Jiang Yuan felt his hair stand on end.
From all these circumstances, he could only think of a few possibilities—
His sister had lived here long ago.
Either she owned property here or was renting here.
Or...
This complex was one she'd premeditatedly chosen for him!
After all...
This was the complex she and Mu Liuying had brought him to rent!
So the result was obvious.
His sister definitely rented here, owned property here, or had some inextricable connection to this complex.
For example... this complex might be the property of some Shan Min believer!
Then, his sister hadn't told him this, and had even deliberately stayed with him these past two days.
This intention was even more obvious—
She didn't trust him.
Or rather.
From the moment he got off the train.
Everything had been within his sister's premeditated arrangements!
Jiang Yuan began to feel cold all over.
Because he thought of something even more terrifying!
If...
She'd never trusted him, or had always been suspicious of him...
Then... why did she suddenly tell him yesterday that she'd discovered Wang Rou and the others' tracks? And that she was going to surround and kill them???
Could all of this also have been a test from his sister?
To see if he would tip off Wang Rou and the others?
And did this also mean that...
His warning yesterday had actually been known by his sister long ago!
She... knew it was him who tipped them off, which caused them to be counter-ambushed???
Jiang Yuan's head was splitting with pain.
Because following this line of thought, he was 100% exposed.
Since he was exposed... why hadn't she made a move against him?
Not only did she not make a move, but she brought him to the Faith Praise Ceremony and even let him join under the Fourth Transmitter's command?
Jiang Yuan was lost in confusion.
Could he be overthinking it?
Or perhaps his sister really didn't trust him, but hadn't discovered his actions yesterday, so she'd dropped her guard against him?
It seemed...
Only this explanation made sense.
By now, the vehicle had arrived at the underground parking garage. The lighting was dim. Jiang Yuan remained silent for a long time. While Jiang Yue was reversing, he suddenly spoke in a casual, curious tone, "Sis, when did you register your vehicle as a resident?"
"I didn't even know you could drive, hehe..."
In the dim light, Jiang Yue's face flickered between light and shadow, her expression unclear. Her reversing motion seemed to pause slightly, but perhaps it hadn't.
She continued reversing while smiling lightly, "Xiao Yuan, we're in the smart age now. You can operate everything from your phone!"
"I sent my vehicle information to the landlord the day before yesterday and asked her to register it for me."
"I got my driver's license when I was a freshman. Oh right, speaking of which, sign up for driving lessons these next two days when you have time. Once you get your license, Sis will buy you a luxury car too!"
Jiang Yuan's expression relaxed, and he exhaled. It seemed he really was overthinking it.
After all, if she'd really discovered his abnormalities, none of today's events would have happened. He'd probably be dead by now.
So he said happily, "It's a deal then! I'll sign up these next two days!"
By now, Jiang Yue had parked the car. She made an "mm" sound and said, "You'll have to go by yourself these next two days because I'll be busy. Is that okay?"
Jiang Yuan was fully in favor of Jiang Yue going out. Honestly, staying with Jiang Yue, the psychological pressure was truly immense.
A Mid-tier Seeker...
For some reason, though his sister was very gentle, whenever he thought of her identity, he felt a chill in his heart.
"Sis, why do you always treat me like a child? No problem at all. Go handle your business."
"Hehe, that's good then."
The siblings took the elevator upstairs. In the afternoon, his sister basically transmitted some study materials to Jiang Yuan for self-study.
She would find time to teach him personally later.
She also gave him Li Congwu's contact information, telling him to contact Li Congwu himself to learn combat techniques.
Jiang Yuan naturally agreed with pleasure. He was actually quite curious whether what the demon faction taught would differ from what the Salvation faction taught.
Afterward, the two chatted for a while. Then his sister took a call, transferred twenty thousand yuan to Jiang Yuan, and hurriedly left.
The entire apartment was left with only Jiang Yuan.
Finally, his tightly wound nerves could relax slightly.
Sitting on the sofa in silence for a moment.
He went to his room, reached under the wardrobe, and pulled out a mobile phone.
He turned it on, opened messages, entered a number, and typed a single digit "9," then turned off the phone, took out the SIM card, and with a slight exertion of strength between his hands, the SIM card was crushed into powder.
After finishing this, Jiang Yuan began reviewing the study materials his sister had sent him about what Seekers needed to learn.
These study materials were actually very simple and targeted.
They taught how to find infiltrators hiding nearby through minute clues!
And what skills infiltrators possessed, what abnormal situations were likely caused by infiltrators.
Jiang Yuan read very carefully and was very engrossed.
Because he could find his own shortcomings as an infiltrator from these materials, thereby avoiding risks of exposure in the future.
Thus, around five in the afternoon, Jiang Yuan's phone suddenly vibrated.
A text message appeared with no name or number displayed.
This was a ghost signal.
The message content was very simple, or rather, purely just an address and a time.
Liu Nan Road - No. 172, 10 PM
He put away his phone, grabbed his straight sword, and went out.
