Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 578 - 138: Senyang Aquarium

Wang Xiyi quickened her pace.

The inner cover of her watch gradually became hot, as if a heat pack was stuck to her wrist.

"The mystical device is sensing something," Wang Xiyi whispered in the communication channel, "I am approaching the target."

"Do you need support?" Ye Xuan asked. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"No," Wang Xiyi immediately declined, "If even I can't handle it, sending two tactical teams would be the same."

Currently, in the entire city of Tianfu, the only one who might be stronger in combat than Wang Xiyi is Sun Hang, but the issue is that Sun Hang needs to guard the main research institute now and can't act rashly.

Wang Xiyi quickly arrived at an intersection. She took a few steps in three directions and then continued straight ahead—whether it was turning left or right, the temperature of the mystical watch would drop, only by going straight would the temperature consistently rise.

Even though the temperature change over these few steps was so subtle it was almost negligible, with her Black Dragon's sensory sharpness, Wang Xiyi could still discern which side was the right direction.

"Proceeding along Victory Avenue," Wang Xiyi looked at the houses on both sides, "I'm now at 514 Victory Avenue... very close to the 591 address you mentioned."

All the shops on both sides of the street were tightly closed, with shutter doors drawn down wherever there were shutter doors, and heavy chains strung on the door handles where there weren't any.

Most of the items in these shops hadn't been removed... The Disaster Response Committee initially only gave the residents of Jinlu County three days to evacuate, and promised that once the perpetual night passed, they would immediately initiate plans to revive Jinlu County.

So many who left their hometowns believed that in the near future, they would return here to rebuild their homes.

The people who left only took things that were convenient to carry, such as heavy pieces like furniture, factory machinery, and heavy engineering equipment at the quarry outside the city—these difficult-to-move items were left behind.

Through those transparent glass doors, Wang Xiyi saw that quite a few shops still had boxes and boxes of goods stacked inside that hadn't been transported away in time. A few fat rats emerged from the sewers, expertly slipping through a broken hole in the window of a restaurant, strutting into the dining room.

In a corner against the wall in the restaurant, two bags of flour were piled up, one corner of the bag already bitten open by the rats, spilling white flour onto the ground.

Several rats were already feasting contentedly, and the ones that flitted into the restaurant soon joined in—they quickly grew unsatisfied with just the flour leaking from the pocket and tore several bigger holes in the flour bags.

Flour tumbled from the tears like a mudslide.

Wang Xiyi had no interest in watching the rats eat; she quickly walked past the restaurant entrance and continued forward.

The door number of this restaurant was 570 Victory Avenue. Crossing the intersection ahead was the section of the street where "Senyang Aquarium" was located.

The watch was getting hotter, even starting to scorch.

Instead of walking along the street, Wang Xiyi deftly climbed over the building on the left side of the street, crouching and treading silently and swiftly across the rooftop.

"Just like a ninja," Wang Xiyi thought to herself, "Or perhaps an assassin isn't bad either."

She quite liked these types of themes, especially the game where, no matter how high you jumped from, as long as there was a haystack below, the protagonist would land unscathed.

Unfortunately, the company that made this game had completely disappeared into the river of history with the fall of Europe... Wang Xiyi vaguely recalled that Ye Jiu, a game fanatic, mentioned to her that the company's last work seemed to be a hodgepodge blending elements of assassins, ninjas, and samurais, but before this work was officially released, the European Union Government announced a major retreat order, and all Europeans began retreating to the south and east, completely abandoning that land with the highest density of countries on Earth.

Wang Xiyi suddenly felt as if she had been transported inside a game.

"Target location is now within sight. Repeating, target location is now within sight," Wang Xiyi reported in the communication channel, "I see the signboard with the words Senyang Aquarium."

Wang Xiyi stopped on the roof of a three-story building, crouching behind the slope on the other side, using the ridge to conceal her figure.

Senyang Aquarium was right across the street.

Unlike other shops with tightly locked doors and windows, the door of Senyang Aquarium was wide open. The interior of the shop was not lit at all, appearing pitch black from a distance... from afar, it looked like a black hole ready to devour anything.

"Sure enough, there's a problem... Among all the shops on the street, only Senyang Aquarium's door is open. From this, it seems that after the whole city of Jinlu County evacuated, the Cult Organization really used this place as a contact base," Wang Xiyi deduced.

"Is there anyone inside?" Yang Qi immediately asked in the communication channel.

"No heat sources detected, and no mystical aura sensed for now... perhaps it's too far away," Wang Xiyi replied.

The Black Dragon's eyes have extraordinarily strong night vision, and in addition, they have a function equivalent to an infrared night vision device. If there were heat sources inside the house, Wang Xiyi would spot them at a glance... but now, in her thermal vision, the interior of the house appeared in uniform blocks of color, with no particularly prominent heat sources.
