All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 125: Identity Exposed
"Ding! Obtained 5 karma points."
Hearing the system prompt ringing in his mind, Su Xin casually sheathed the fruit knife and transformed it back into a mark in his palm.
With the Man and Blade Unity trait, he no longer needed to pull out the knife from his pocket after a teleportation, sheath it again after use, and put it back, before performing another teleportation with clasped hands.
That would take at least a second or two.
Like now, the knife was as if it grew in his palm, allowing him to access it with a thought, and put it back just as easily, causing almost no lag in his consecutive teleportations.
If he didn't need to unsheathe and sheathe the knife, his actions might be even faster and more seamless.
That night.
Su Xin's figure flickered through various spots in Tongwa City, appearing and disappearing mysteriously, the knife light slashing through the air, leaving many who witnessed these scenes in shock and deterring many evil-doers.
Some quietly recorded videos of the cloaked figure flickering down the streets and the scenes of knife light spurting with a wave, uploading them to major forums and social media overnight.
These video clips quickly went viral, sparking heated discussions among countless internet users worldwide.
Combined with the Wanghai Country's wanted notice and information collection order, the vast majority of users immediately believed that the cloak was the culprit of that major case.
At the same time, they also became aware of the existence of superpower users.
If Su Xin had seen these, he might have confirmed that his guesses were correct.
Faced with such a sensational case, Wanghai Country and the Yonghui Financial Group could no longer afford to hide the existence of superpower users, not only lifting the online information block on the cloak but also covertly promoting the spread of cloak-related information to convince everyone that the cloak was indeed the murderer.
At this moment, Su Xin, evidently unaware of the online uproar, was still calmly conducting his business throughout Tongwa City.
Of course, the police in Tongwa City had surely received the news of the cloak's appearance, but they did not take action because they knew how formidable the cloak was and understood that rashly sending people could not only fail to capture him but possibly send them to their deaths instead.
The seemingly calm night passed quickly.
...
It was past five in the morning.
Having been busy all night with some gains, Su Xin instantly teleported back home.
"A new day has begun!"
He looked at the sunlight streaming in through the gap in the curtains, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Just as he was about to take off his hood—
"Boom!"
Su Xin felt his eardrums vibrate, and endless sound and light instantly overwhelmed all his senses.
Almost simultaneously, he felt his skin being torn apart, with certain objects burrowing into his skin from all directions.
In that instant, Su Xin had no time to think about how he had been exposed or what kind of attack he had encountered, instinctively issuing a command in his mind:
"Instant Teleportation Withdrawal!!"
With a thought, his figure vanished from his home, reappearing at a deserted street corner.
Under the intense light stimulation, coupled with the pervasive attack, Su Xin felt excruciating pain envelop his whole body, and he found himself blind.
Without hesitation, he manifested the fruit knife and slashed at his own throat.
The damage transfer range was ten meters.
If there were no others within ten meters, or if the number of living beings within ten meters was less than his set target, his attack would inflict the same damage on himself.
At this moment, Su Xin didn't have time to check if anyone was within ten meters, decisively slashing himself to end the pain.
The knife light penetrated his throat, and the blade sunk a few centimeters into the flesh, carving a massive, horizontal wound across his neck.
Blood spurted out instantly.
Yet the next instant, under the mysterious power of the superpower, the blood that had just spurted out seemed to flow back into his neck as if time was reversing, and the massive wound on his neck healed instantly.
Simultaneously, all his injuries returned to normal under the Life Purification special effect.
Even his clothes were restored intact.
The intense pain across his whole body also dissipated.
"They... actually found me?"
Su Xin pondered with a contemplative expression.
...
Tens of hours ago.
Afternoon on November 2.
Two Dragon Soldier Reserve Squads and five tracking dogs arrived in Lening City, meeting up with Duan Yilin and two others, and spent half an hour performing the handover.
"The cloak noticed the scent on it and shredded the cloak into pieces, scattering them throughout Lening City to disrupt our tracking."
"But after several hours of emergency tracking and investigation, we have ruled out most of the distraction targets and recorded each of their locations and areas, although we don't know if these places hold any connection."
After a brief explanation, Duan Yilin handed over all the intelligence he and his two companions had gathered.
The latter group quickly divided into six teams, with five teams dispersing into five different areas in Lening City with the tracking dogs to continue the investigation, while the sixth team was responsible for coordination and support.
With more manpower and the fact that Duan Yilin and his companions had excluded most distraction targets, it only took them an hour or two to investigate the remaining sources of scent.
Especially one team, following the scent to Sunshine Community, discovered that Duan Yilin and others had already investigated this place and marked it as a distraction target, causing them to harbor suspicions.
When they followed the scent into the building and quietly approached room 501, comparing it to the information mentioning room 401, they felt even more uneasy.
If this was a distraction target left intentionally by the cloak, then why leave distraction targets on two consecutive floors in the same building?
Furthermore, since Duan Yilin and his companions had visited 401, they should have noticed the same source of scent on the floor above, in 501, upon removing that black fabric fragment.
But the information did not mention it.
Consequently, they dug deeper, eliminating all other sources of scent, eventually narrowing down to Sunshine Community Block Six, Room 501.
"The cloak is here!"
Yu Liangping, the leader of the joint operation team formed by the two Dragon Soldier Reserve Squads, pointed excitedly at the location on the screen.
"Immediately investigate the intelligence of this household!"
"Deploy a through-wall radar immediately for 24/7 real-time monitoring of this residence."
"Quickly mobilize all available weapons and equipment to prepare, then infiltrate his house after the cloak leaves to set an ambush!"
"He stays vigilant while acting outside; surely, he won't maintain the same vigilance when at home!"
"Our best opportunity has come!"
Under Yu Liangping's orders, the six teams ended their tracking task, beginning a coordinated effort to investigate the owner of Sunshine Community Block Six, Room 501.
With their immense power and connections, all of Su Xin's intelligence was soon laid out before every team member and also some high-ups at Yonghui Financial Group thousands of miles away.
