Abyssal Distortion Files

#29 - Chapter 029: Lightspeed Failure

Ancient Pioneers were preparing some kind of ritual within the Lost City.

A little girl quietly watched from outside the ancient city, sitting on a rock, her little feet swinging back and forth. "Body, body, they've started, they've started!"

Chen Ye's consciousness instantly descended upon this clone, occupying the little girl's other eye to look at the ancient city.

Ancient Pioneers threw out crystal cores, activating the ritual array, and a powerful energy field began to spread rapidly outwards.

And then…

There was no then.

Chen Ye and the others watched from afar, and even after a long time, there was still no movement.

"If nothing unexpected happens… they should have encountered something unexpected."

……

Ancient Pioneers returned to the throne room and knelt before the King. "King, the ritual received no response…"

"We have failed."

Red light flickered in the King's eyes. "This beast is quite cunning; the bait has been cast, but it won't bite."

Li Yang was puzzled. "What do we do now?"

The King shook his head. "There's no way unless it reveals itself. Otherwise, I don't know where it's hiding."

"Since fishing won't work, we can only think of a way to force it out."

"As long as it dares to show its face, I have a 90% chance of destroying it completely."

……

Deep underground, a gigantic monster was wriggling.

"They want to lure me over; they want to eliminate me because my progress and increasing power frighten them!"

"In this world, the strong get stronger, and the weak get weaker!"

"Children…"

"I am in the critical period of molting. Once this molting is complete, I will advance to Upper Darkness. Until then, I don't have time to deal with you. Be careful."

The snakes lowered their heads.

"May our father reach the deep sea soon!"

……

Jianghai City, on a building outside a certain high school.

Chen Ye and several clones overlooked the buildings below. "The King's side failed. What do you think of this?"

"I'm watching while lying down."

"I'm watching while sitting."

"Body, what do you say?"

The clone turned to look at Chen Ye, who was looking down with interest. "What do I think? I'm watching while standing."

Several clones gathered around, looking down in the direction of Chen Ye's gaze, and discovered a familiar figure.

"This little policeman looks familiar?"

"Haven't we seen him somewhere before?"

"What is he looking for, sneaking around?"

"Could he be looking for us?"

"Hey, I have an idea!"

"Everyone, I have an idea too!"

Chen Ye's clones said, waving their right hands one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the clothes on their bodies were all replaced with black robes.

And as their hands brushed across their faces, masks resembling bones grew on their faces.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Several sounds of rushing wind came as the clones vanished.

Chen Ye himself did not move.

"Master, won't you go too far if you let your clones run wild like this?"

Chen Ye revealed a smile. "Anyway, there's nothing to do. Just bringing everyone some fun."

"What about your sister's side?"

"This morning, several students went missing."

"The strange thing is, they still arrived at school on time."

"I see…"

"But I still have one thing I don't understand, Master. Do you want to recruit that little policeman below?"

"Recruit?"

"I've said it before, Li Yang and Zhou Mo are enough under me."

"But your clones have already…"

"They just want to play a game with that little policeman, a game called 'The world is drunk, and I alone am sober'."

……

Jianghai City, on Fulu Street.

Police officer Yang Miao looked around, as if searching for something. "Strange, he was clearly here just now… where did he go?"

"Young man, are you looking for someone?"

An old voice came. Yang Miao suddenly turned around and saw an old fortune-teller looking at him with a smile.

Yang Miao frowned. Was there a fortune-teller's stall here just now?

'Strange, there was clearly no one here just now. Did I remember wrong?'

Yang Miao stepped forward and took out a photo from his pocket. The person in the photo was Chen Ye. "Old man, have you seen this person before?"

The old man took the photo. "This person… this person, I have seen him before. But ah, this person has great secrets."

Yang Miao squatted down. "Great secrets? What secrets?"

The old man pointed to Chen Ye in the photo. "Look at this person, dignified, outstanding appearance, extraordinarily handsome!"

Yang Miao suppressed the urge to complain and asked again, "Besides that?"

The old man waved his fingers repeatedly. "Well, young friend is indeed exceptionally intelligent, able to notice this person's extraordinary qualities besides his appearance!"

"That's right, besides his own extraordinary appearance…"

"He also has a very good figure!"

"……"

Yang Miao felt speechless. 'Is he your son? Why are you praising him so much?' "Old man, are you kidding me?"

"If you haven't seen this person, just say you haven't seen him. I really have important things to deal with and don't have time to chat with you."

The old man tugged at his beard on the right side. "Young man, don't worry. I know what you're looking for him for…"

"He killed someone, right?"

Yang Miao's pupils shrank upon hearing this. "You know, you saw it?"

The old man shook his head with a smile. "No, but I just divined a hexagram and happened to calculate that this person has multiple homicides on his hands."

"Moreover, you can't find the evidence of his killings. Am I right, police comrade?"

Yang Miao swallowed secretly. He was traveling in plain clothes today, neither wearing a police uniform nor carrying a police badge, but this old man saw that he was a policeman at a glance.

"You calculated all of this?"

The old man smiled and pointed to the banner behind him, on which were written the four black characters 'Divine Calculation'.

"If I didn't have some skills, I wouldn't dare to show off in front of people."

"But even if I say that, you probably won't believe it, so why don't you look over there, at that building."

"There's a young man who is heartbroken after a breakup and is planning to jump off the building to commit suicide."

Yang Miao looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, he saw a man in white clothes on the top of the building.

"You can even calculate this?"

The old man smiled and nodded. "Not only that, but I also calculated that he will jump off from there in three seconds."

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

The person didn't move.

The old man's pupils moved, and he couldn't help but scold in his mind: "Jump, what are you doing? Are you trying to slap my face?"

"Why am I jumping off the building?"

"Quick, quick, quick, Number 3, kick him."

Seeing that the person hadn't come down for a long time, another person suddenly came out from behind and kicked the person in the butt!

"Go!"

The man fell down like this. The old man nodded with a smile. "See, I calculated accurately, right?"

Yang Miao pointed over there. "No, I clearly saw someone kick him. Didn't you see it?!"

The old man pretended to be completely unaware. "What kick? Young man, are you hallucinating? Where is anyone?"

Hallucination?

"Okay, okay, do you still want to know about that person's affairs?" The old man tried to bring the topic back.

But Yang Miao kept staring over there, and it took a while to react. "That person just committed suicide by jumping off the building. Since you knew, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The old man smiled calmly. "Because I know he won't die."

Won't die?

"He is a Covenantor."
