Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World
Chapter 284 - 211: Lin Qi: Guang Ling Didn’t Lie to Me
It’s just that it was inconvenient for Lin Qi to use the Intelligent Brain for data calculations.
Otherwise, Lin Qi could have created a coefficient function based on the force with which Wizards of different Levels affect Spiritual Particles. By combining this with the flow characteristics of Spiritual Particles, he could have produced a chart for "Spiritual Particle Fluid Dynamics," which would have allowed him to precisely locate every Wizard Professional in the city.
Thinking about it, Lin Qi felt that if he were to work for the European Big Business Alliance, he would absolutely be an expert at the Witch Hunt.
As long as a Wizard hadn’t given up, as long as that Wizard still had ambition.
Then they would definitely use Meditation.
And as long as they were in Meditation, Lin Qi would most likely be able to find traces of them.
It wasn’t even limited to a thousand-meter radius; Lin Qi could make a judgment based on the flow trends of Spiritual Particles even from ten kilometers away.
Just like at this very moment, Lin Qi had found multiple, rather obvious gathering points for Spiritual Particles within Alliance City.
Lin Qi moved quickly, piecing together the images formed by the Spiritual Particles in his mind.
He discovered that the Spiritual Particles at these locations formed tilted vortices.
This indicated that at the center of each vortex, an Extraordinary Professional was engaged in Meditation.
But not all the Extraordinary Professionals at the center of these vortices were Wizards.
Among them were other Extraordinary Professionals who also utilized Spiritual Power, such as Knights.
However, at the same Level, the vortex created by a Wizard Professional was much larger than those of other Professionals.
But Lin Qi wasn’t in a hurry to find the members of Councilor Aishwarya’s family just yet.
Instead, after seeing the full panorama of these "tilted" vortices for the first time, his mind buzzed.
Normally, when Lin Qi himself used Meditation, although he could sense the convergence of Spiritual Particles, he couldn’t "see" the complete vortex.
But Lin Qi had some understanding of the flow state of Spiritual Particles; it possessed clear physical characteristics.
In other words, these tilted vortices meant that there was a force in this world constantly pulling on the Spiritual Particles, thereby creating a deflecting force.
And Lin Qi was certain this wasn’t the Coriolis effect. If it were the ordinary Coriolis effect, the vortices shouldn’t appear tilted like this.
This meant one of two things: either there was an absurdly powerful Extraordinary Professional using Meditation somewhere in the Cyber World, or there was something in the Cyber World with a powerful attraction to Spiritual Particles that was exerting a continuous effect.
Either way, Lin Qi felt a headache coming on.
The Extraordinary Domain in the Cyber World was clearly not as simple as he had imagined.
From the recent changes in Spiritual Particle concentration to the deflecting force he had just discovered, everything proved that in corners unknown to Lin Qi, things were happening that surpassed his understanding.
He took a deep breath.
’I should deal with the matter at hand first. My Spiritual Vision Ability is special, so whatever is behind all this probably hasn’t noticed me yet.’
Lin Qi didn’t consider himself a special Extraordinary in the Cyber World. While Wizards weren’t exactly a dime a dozen in the Cyber World, their numbers weren’t small either.
Shifting his focus, Lin Qi quickly locked onto a specific location based on the intelligence Guang Ling had provided earlier.
Within Lin Qi’s perception, the scale of the vortex there ranked at least in the top five in Alliance City.
Based on its location, it was the territory of Councilor Aishwarya’s family.
Lin Qi quickly approached the center of the Spiritual Particle vortex.
The thousand-meter range was enough for Lin Qi to observe from a safe distance.
As he moved closer and closer to the center of the Spiritual Particle vortex, Lin Qi finally saw his targets when he was about nine hundred meters away.
’Six of them in total, and all of them are Wizards.’
It was an underground structure. Above ground was a business outpost controlled by Councilor Aishwarya’s family.
Down in the underground facility, a total of six individuals from the list Guang Ling had provided were each in their own rooms, engaged in Meditation.
As they meditated, tentacle-like strands of Spiritual Power extended out, swaying around their bodies.
Tentacle-shaped Spiritual Power was a classic symbol of a Wizard Professional.
He could just imagine it: if he tossed a Holy Light in there right now, six Tentacle Monsters would surely reveal their true forms, much to the frenzied delight of the Knights from the Round Table Conference!
’So it’s confirmed. Councilor Aishwarya’s Extraordinary Profession is indeed Wizard, just as I suspected.’
’It’s precisely because Councilor Aishwarya is a Wizard herself, with a whole six more Wizards among her descendants, that she’s so desperate for Extraordinary Items. Naturally, the benefits sent to her by the European Big Business Alliance would include a trail of Extraordinary Items.’
’People from New Reid City sure are fertile. Even the Liu Clan, a Wizard Clan, didn’t have this many Wizards to support.’
While confirming Councilor Aishwarya’s Extraordinary Profession, Lin Qi continued to think.
According to Guang Ling, the key to breaking the stalemate might lie in this Extraordinary Profession.
But her Wizard Profession alone wasn’t evidence of a crime. This was the Asian Administrative Region, not the European Administrative Region. How could he use this to turn the tables?
’Could it be that Guang Ling was just speaking casually back then?’
’No, Guang Ling has no reason to mess with me. There must be a detail I’ve missed.’
Lin Qi calmed himself and began to think again.
Expanding his train of thought from Councilor Aishwarya herself, Lin Qi soon discovered something that didn’t add up.
’Doesn’t the European Big Business Alliance know about Councilor Aishwarya’s Extraordinary Profession?’
’That’s not realistic. They must know.’
’But with the European Big Business Alliance’s Witch Hunt going on, why are they still able to cooperate so nonchalantly with Councilor Aishwarya?’
’Are they using Councilor Aishwarya’s power to slowly clear out the Wizard Professional factions in the Asian Administrative Region?’
’That might be part of it.’
’But if he put himself in their shoes, Lin Qi didn’t think the European Big Business Alliance would be so comfortable making deals with such a high-ranking and powerful Wizard Professional.’
’Although he didn’t know the ultimate purpose of the Witch Hunt, based on the fanaticism of the Round Table Conference, Lin Qi was almost certain they truly wanted to hunt the Wizard Extraordinary Profession to extinction.’
’My investigation started with Councilor Aishwarya’s Extraordinary Profession, then extended to her family members, and only then did I uncover the dealings between the European Political Zone Big Business Alliance and her.’
’Guang Ling must know something, which is why they hinted for me to investigate in this direction. Perhaps Guang Ling hopes I’ll find the key myself.’
’In other words, the key to breaking this deadlock is hidden somewhere within these three links. I must still be missing something.’
He continued to think from their perspective. ’If I were part of the European Big Business Alliance, what would I do after using a powerful Wizard in the Asian Administrative Region to screw over the Liu Clan’s Wizard enterprise?’
’I would definitely find a way to get some leverage on this collaborator.’
’Either to force her to continue cooperating and selling out her interests...’
’...or to find a way to burn the bridge after crossing it.’
’After killing off the other Wizards in the Asian Administrative Region, they’d kill Aishwarya next.’
’Only then could they achieve the goal of the Witch Hunt.’
’Since the European Political Zone Big Business Alliance possesses Holy Light, a weapon that is extremely effective against Wizards, it means they actually understand Wizards very well.’
’They understand Wizards’ weaknesses, and they also understand their needs...’
Following this line of thought, Lin Qi moved a little closer, and more things immediately appeared in his Spiritual Vision.
A familiar object appeared in Lin Qi’s Spiritual Vision.
A suitcase that had transformed into an Extraordinary Material after being suffused by Extraordinary Items...
Inside the suitcase lay nearly twenty Tier Two Extraordinary Items.
This was a number Lin Qi hadn’t managed to collect in all his time knocking around the Doomsday World.
But Lin Qi’s focus wasn’t actually on the number.
It was on the Extraordinary Items themselves.
The state these Extraordinary Items presented in his Spiritual Vision was different from any Extraordinary Items Lin Qi had ever seen before.
’Just as I thought. Guang Ling didn’t lie to me. The breakthrough has finally appeared...’
