Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 254 - 253 Wind Rises

As Zhou Bai infused the necklace with the power of his Primordial Spirit, he felt as if his eyes could see through infinitely vast distances, witnessing scenes from the past.

"So... 6 hours ago!"

Boom! The light and shadow in front of him seemed to slightly change, but the room was still in a state of chaos.

"Further in the past?" Zhou Bai murmured softly, "Then what about 12 hours ago?"

"18 hours ago."

Seeing the room clean and tidy, Zhou Bai’s eyes brightened slightly, "Let’s see what it looked like 15 hours ago."

"16 hours ago."

"16 and a half hours ago."

After adjusting several times, Zhou Bai felt his sea of consciousness churning up, a strong sense of irritation rising from his heart.

"Could this be a side effect of this hexagram?"

Zhou Bai immediately used his laziness points to heal his body. After spending 300 laziness points, he finally felt his sea of consciousness calm down, and the irritating feeling was suppressed.

"So the side effect of this hexagram is that it could drive a cultivator towards madness and distortion? But as long as I have laziness points, it should be fine to use it."

Zhou Bai continued to adjust the time and finally reached the past he wanted to see.

He then saw the light and shadow change as four men in black entered the room with a gentle tremor of the door, starting to search Lin Muqing’s belongings without speaking.

One of them, a brawny man with a cold gaze and a blind eye, said, "Look for the information related to the water supply data. Figure out where she heard about the hydroelectricity department."

Another man, thin and with a scar on his mouth, said, "Logically, the design shouldn’t have been exposed yet. We’ve just started planning. Where did Lin Muqing get the information from?"

"I don’t know. The only possibility I can think of is that there is a traitor among us."

Apart from this conversation, Zhou Bai couldn’t hear anything else they said. Watching them search Lin Muqing’s room and then leave, Zhou Bai clenched his fists tightly.

"Is it that water and electricity facility? Was Lin Muqing targeted because she was investigating that facility?"

Zhou Bai’s eyes slightly narrowed, "It was I who asked her to check it..."

Frowning and feeling somewhat guilty, Zhou Bai thought, "I can’t just leave it at that. I need to find a way to locate Lin Muqing."

After some thought, he didn’t immediately call the police or contact a teacher because if the other party could abduct Lin Muqing, a member of the night army, and get involved with the hydroelectricity department to build some large installation in Donghua City, their power must be significant.

If he started investigating openly, it could very well threaten Lin Muqing’s life. They might simply go as far as killing and destroying the body without a trace.

Thinking it over, Zhou Bai first went back to his dormitory, planning to bring Christina along to increase his combat power.

However, as soon as he returned to the dormitory, he found Christina lying on the bed, her eyes shifting slightly, but she didn’t see Aisha anywhere.

Normally, Aisha would be the first to rush up to him when he came home.

"Tina, where’s Aisha?"

Christina smiled mysteriously, "When Aisha reached the first realm, she gained the ability of breath. Guess whether she gained a new ability when she broke through to the second realm?"

Zhou Bai’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise, "Are you saying her disappearance is related to her new ability?"

Just then, Aisha’s head burst out from Christina’s forehead, "Zhou Bai, Zhou Bai! I’m right here!"

Christina rolled her eyes and slapped Aisha’s forehead, pushing her back in, "This silly dog can now hide inside someone else’s sea of consciousness, but of course, only if the other person is willing."

"This is perfect," Zhou Bai’s eyes brightened, "Both of you come with me."

So Zhou Bai explained Lin Muqing’s situation briefly and then took both Christina and Aisha into his sea of consciousness.

Elsa darted joyfully around Zhou Bai’s sea of consciousness. Zhou Bai sensed her presence and felt that he could easily expel her with just a slight movement of his thoughts.

So, carrying a cat and a dog, Zhou Bai returned to Lin Muqing’s room, holding a necklace and began to activate the power of divination.

He planned to follow the past images and see where those men in black ultimately went.

...

In Donghua City, inside the 500-meter-tall military headquarters.

Fang Mo sat in front of his desk, faced with piles of various documents and records.

The more he examined them, the more furrowed his brows became.

Ever since the operation against Xiao Pei had been thwarted, he had suspected that there was an issue within or at the upper levels of Donghua City.

During this period, he had reviewed a massive amount of intelligence from the past five years from Donghua City.

Presently spread out before him were maps and structural plans of Donghua City from 50 meters underground to 2000 meters above ground.

In addition, there was a report on the loss of materials from the secret treasury at the time of Xing Jun and the Heavenly Demon’s attack.

"What exactly is happening here?"

"There must be some problem."

Rubbing his chin, Fang Mo stood up and left his office.

"Officer Fang Mo, are you leaving?"

"Finished for the day, finished for the day."

"There’s nothing much to do anyway; might as well leave early."

"Off I go, I’ll leave work first; let’s have dinner together some other day."

Greeting his subordinates along the way, Fang Mo left the office building with a smile, then turned left and right and disappeared into the breeze.

Utilizing his fifth realm abilities, he flew low using Primordial Spirit power, concealing his tracks without using any transportation and discreetly glided along the building structures to the 1500-meter-tall entrance of Dao School.

He then took advantage of the conveniences provided by the military to arrive at the hidden treasury.

Looking at the vast secret cache before him, Fang Mo said, "After the last Heavenly Demon attack here, the materials were reorganized, right?"

Beside him, a sunglasses-wearing manager chuckled, "Commander Fang Mo, what brought you here?"

"The Celestial Star Formation is tied to this secret treasury and the entire Donghua City; I couldn’t rest easy without checking it." He turned to the manager and smiled, "Can’t I take a look?"

"Of course, you can see anything your clearance allows."

Fang Mo: "My clearance is level 6; let’s start with the items stolen by the Heavenly Demon last time, categorized for me to see."

...

Half an hour later, Fang Mo hurriedly left the secret treasury, his face extremely serious.

"The key to the last Heavenly Demon attack on the secret treasury is not what they took away, but what they left behind."

"I must immediately report this so that someone can inspect inside and outside the treasury, and the entire Celestial Star Formation…"

He walked down a deserted path: "Aside from the Xiao Pei group, there must be traitors, and they are in the upper echelons. I must report this quietly and find someone absolutely reliable..."

As thoughts raced in Fang Mo’s mind, a faint sense of crisis emerged in his heart. The intuitive feeling bestowed by Gong Tu’s technique made him stop and look behind him.

The elderly-looking Director Wu Zheng, who had somehow blocked his path, wore a pair of white gloves on his hands and smiled at Fang Mo, "Fang Mo, I heard you went to inspect the secret treasury? Did you find anything?"
