Chapter 2188: Useful Clues
The man in the suit, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly sat up. He looked at the two people in front of him, his eyes filled with confusion. "You... who are you?"
"Don't worry about who we are. Tell me, what happened to you?" Xu Huo asked.
The man in the suit shook his head, a look of fear flashing in his eyes. "I don't know... I was just walking on the street, and then suddenly I felt dizzy, and then I lost consciousness."
"Did you see anyone?" Xu Huo continued to ask.
The man in the suit thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No, I didn't see anyone. I was alone."
Xu Huo and the short-haired female player exchanged a glance. This clue was too vague.
"Where were you before you lost consciousness?" the short-haired female player asked.
The man in the suit pointed to a street not far away. "Over there, near the entrance of that alley."
Xu Huo looked in the direction he pointed. It was a very ordinary street, with nothing unusual about it.
"Alright, you can go now," Xu Huo said.
The man in the suit stood up, still looking a bit dazed, and staggered away.
After he left, the short-haired female player said, "This is too strange. He didn't see anyone, and he didn't feel any attack. He just suddenly lost consciousness."
"This shows that the other party's method is very covert, possibly using some kind of mental power or special props," Xu Huo analyzed.
"Mental power?" the short-haired female player frowned. "Could it be a Mental Super Evolver?"
"It's possible," Xu Huo nodded. "But it could also be some kind of prop that can cause people to lose consciousness."
"Then what should we do now?" the short-haired female player asked.
"Let's continue investigating. Since the other party is active in this area, there will definitely be more clues," Xu Huo said.
The two continued to walk forward, carefully observing their surroundings.
After walking for a while, they saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the side of the road, looking very flustered.
Xu Huo stepped forward and asked, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"
The middle-aged woman looked up at them, her voice trembling. "I... I just saw a person suddenly fall down, and then he disappeared."
"Disappeared?" Xu Huo and the short-haired female player were both startled.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. He was walking fine, then suddenly fell down, and then his whole person vanished into thin air," the middle-aged woman said, her face full of fear.
"Where did this happen?" Xu Huo asked urgently.
The middle-aged woman pointed to a spot not far away. "Right over there."
Xu Huo and the short-haired female player immediately rushed over, but found nothing unusual on the ground.
"Could it be a Space Super Evolver?" the short-haired female player guessed.
"It's very possible," Xu Huo's expression turned serious. "If the other party can make people disappear out of thin air, then their strength is definitely not to be underestimated."
"Then what should we do?" the short-haired female player felt a bit anxious.
"Don't panic. Since we've found clues, we can follow them," Xu Huo said. "Let's first search this area carefully to see if there are any other clues."
The two began a carpet-style search of the surrounding area. Soon, they found a small alley. At the entrance of the alley, there was a faint, almost imperceptible energy fluctuation.
"This is..." Xu Huo reached out and touched the air at the entrance of the alley, and immediately felt a strange energy.
"It's a space barrier," the short-haired female player also sensed it. "Someone used space power here."
"It seems our guess is correct. The other party is indeed a Space Super Evolver," Xu Huo said. "Let's go in and take a look."
The two cautiously walked into the alley. The alley was very deep, and both sides were walls, with no other exits.
After walking for a while, they saw a figure standing at the end of the alley.
The figure was wearing a black robe, with his back to them, making it impossible to see his face.
"Who are you?" Xu Huo asked vigilantly.
The figure slowly turned around, revealing a pale face. It was a middle-aged man, his eyes cold and emotionless.
"You actually found this place. Not bad," the middle-aged man said, his voice hoarse.
"It was you who caused those people to lose consciousness and disappear?" Xu Huo asked.
"That's right, it was me," the middle-aged man admitted without hesitation. "I need some test subjects to complete my experiment."
"Experiment?" the short-haired female player frowned. "What experiment?"
"An experiment about space power," the middle-aged man said, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes. "As long as I succeed, I will be able to master even more powerful space power and become a true Spatial Super Evolver."
"Your approach is too extreme," Xu Huo said coldly. "Using innocent people as test subjects, this is no different from a demon."
"Demon? Hahaha..." the middle-aged man laughed wildly. "In this world, only the strong have the right to speak. As long as I can become stronger, I don't care what means I use."
"Then there's nothing more to say," Xu Huo said, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. "Hand over the people you captured, and I can spare your life."
"Spare my life? Hahaha..." the middle-aged man laughed even more wildly. "Do you think you can defeat me? I am a Spatial Super Evolver!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, he appeared behind Xu Huo, a sharp dagger stabbing towards Xu Huo's back.
Xu Huo seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. His body moved sideways, narrowly dodging the attack.
At the same time, the short-haired female player also made her move. A beam of light shot from her hand, heading straight for the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's figure flickered, once again disappearing in place, dodging the attack.
"Space teleportation?" Xu Huo narrowed his eyes. "Interesting."
"Let's see how many times you can dodge," the short-haired female player said coldly, her hands forming seals, and countless beams of light shooting out from her body, forming a net that covered the entire alley.
The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect the short-haired female player's attack range to be so wide. He could only continuously use space teleportation to dodge, but his figure was getting slower and slower.
"Now!" Xu Huo shouted, his figure suddenly appearing in front of the middle-aged man, a punch hitting him squarely in the chest.
The middle-aged man let out a muffled groan, his body flying backward, heavily crashing into the wall.
"You... how did you find my position?" the middle-aged man asked in disbelief.
"Your space teleportation does have some skill, but unfortunately, you met me," Xu Huo said coldly. "I am a Spatial Super Evolver too."
"What?!" The middle-aged man's face changed drastically. He never expected to encounter a Spatial Super Evolver of the same type.
"Hand over the people you captured," Xu Huo said again.
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. Suddenly, he took out a prop from his bosom and crushed it.
The next moment, a powerful spatial fluctuation erupted, and the entire alley began to distort.
"Not good!" Xu Huo's expression changed. He grabbed the short-haired female player and quickly retreated.
But it was too late. The spatial distortion spread at an incredible speed, engulfing them in an instant.
When Xu Huo and the short-haired female player regained their senses, they found themselves in a strange space.
This was a vast white space, with no end in sight. The surrounding air was filled with a strange energy fluctuation.
"Where is this?" the short-haired female player asked, looking around in confusion.
"It should be a space created by that person using a prop," Xu Huo analyzed. "We've been trapped inside."
"Then what should we do?" the short-haired female player asked anxiously.
"Don't panic, let's first find a way to break this space," Xu Huo said, releasing his mental power to probe the surroundings.
Soon, he found a weak point in this space.
"Over there!" Xu Huo pointed in a direction. "That's the weakest point of this space. As long as we break it, we can get out."
"Then let's do it together," the short-haired female player said.
The two gathered their strength and simultaneously attacked that weak point.
With a loud boom, the entire space began to shake violently, and cracks appeared.
"Again!" Xu Huo shouted.
The two attacked again, and this time, the space finally couldn't hold on and shattered with a crash.
The surrounding white light dissipated, and Xu Huo and the short-haired female player found themselves back in the alley.
However, the middle-aged man had already disappeared.
"Let him get away," the short-haired female player said, somewhat regretfully.
"It's okay. Although he escaped, we also gained some useful clues," Xu Huo said. "At least we now know that the other party is a Spatial Super Evolver, and he is conducting some kind of experiment."
"Then what should we do next?" the short-haired female player asked.
"Let's first report this to the Game Government Base and let them handle it," Xu Huo said. "We still have other things to do, so we can't waste too much time here."
"Alright," the short-haired female player nodded.
The two left the alley and headed towards the Game Government Base.
