Whenever an earthquake struck, every nation had to locate the epicenter to perform data calculations and collection.
However, unlike other nations, North Star had changed its protocols within just two days due to the events of the last magnitude-2 earthquake.
When the earthquake occurred, the monitoring bureau received the instrument signals and, as usual, reported in via telephone.
This time, however, they didn't report the latitude and longitude directly. Instead, they reported a string of code.
After the eavesdropping Shadow synced the audio to Guan Tong, he immediately realized the authorities were on to him.
After the last incident, the authorities not only wanted to find him, but they must have also wondered, 'How did the person who dealt with the Earth Vein Pillar know the epicenter's location?'
Just as Guan Tong had figured out the information came from the earthquake bureau, there was no reason the authorities wouldn't come to the same conclusion.
