“Right now—”

“Action!”

The moment Zhong Wei moved, Chu Ling’s voice rang out.

Gu Shen, having adjusted his breathing to the optimal state, had a flash of sharp light in his eyes.

He knew... the time had come!

Pulling down his hat, Gu Shen, like a ghost, bypassed the surveillance according to the original plan and quickly moved towards the old building. It had to be said that Chu Ling’s plan was seamless. This riot not only drew away the most troublesome extraordinary, but also completely attracted the attention of the security personnel!

Gu Shen's infiltration was exceptionally smooth.

He reached the shadows of the old building, advanced quickly, and, guided by Chu Ling, turned and shifted, avoiding surveillance, and finally arrived at the rooftop corridor protected by a double cordon.

One more step and he would be at the scene of the crime.

Forty hours had passed.

The scene was well-preserved, with almost no objects moved.

"Because of the fire, the original surveillance on the rooftop has been damaged." Chu Ling reminded, "See that pile of wooden boards? The Ruler of Truth is buried at the bottom."

Gu Shen nodded, crossed the protective line, slowly squatted down, put on gloves, and lifted the not-so-thick wooden boards.

A silver ruler lay in the dust.

Fortunately, the ruler hadn’t been discovered...

The moment he touched the Ruler of Truth, Gu Shen breathed a long sigh of relief. He grasped the ruler, and his previously tense nerves relaxed, as if a clear stream was flowing through his heart.

"Phew... got it."

Gu Shen didn't immediately retreat. Instead, he turned around and looked at the corpse so close at hand, just quietly watching... This extraordinary had already been burned to charcoal by the flames, his clothes reduced to ashes, leaving only a dry, charred skeleton.

"Got the thing, now you can retreat."

Chu Ling reminded him, but Gu Shen didn't move. Instead, he asked in a low voice, "What are the Tribunal's technical means?"

The girl paused.

"The usual technical means are to extract DNA from blood, bones, and bodily fluids, and look for the original owner in the deep-sea database... However, for life destroyed by extraordinary power, genes may mutate, and this method may fail." She said slowly, "This time, the Tribunal may send a mental-type extraordinary to profile the well-preserved first scene. There are many methods. What are you asking this for?"

"Finger bone."

Gu Shen suddenly spoke, saying, "This person is missing a segment of a finger bone."

Chu Ling was stunned. Because of the lack of surveillance, she couldn't mobilize her authority to observe Gu Shen's current situation. She could only communicate with Gu Shen through voice.

But even if there was video, what could she do?

Who would notice, in such a dark environment... that the charred corpse was missing a segment of the little finger bone?

The missing finger bone segment meant that someone had already taken away the key evidence from the scene in advance.

"It's Mr. Tree," Gu Shen said in a low voice. "The rooftop protection is just a facade. The information that needed to be extracted has already been extracted. He has already set up the trap waiting for people to fall in."

Since he was already prepared... then how could the extraordinary guarding the old building leave so easily?

A sentence appeared in Gu Shen's mind.

Cast a long line to catch a big fish.

"Gu Shen, get out of there quickly."

Chu Ling's voice suddenly became tense, "Extraordinaries have appeared, one... no, two! They are approaching here!"

"Heh."

Gu Shen wasn't surprised. He quickly got up and came to the rooftop. With a casual glance, he could see that the white sheets scattered everywhere were stained with splattered scarlet blood, shocking to the eye. Even he found it hard to believe that he had done this.

No wonder those people from the Tribunal gave him an "S" grade rating.

This was indeed something only a devil could do.

If he guessed correctly, Mr. Tree extracted a severed finger and the blood from the rooftop. These two pieces of evidence were enough to trace the genetic sequence... His coma and rescue details were confidential, and Mr. Tree's arrival at the crime scene was also confidential.

Those guys who wanted to destroy the scene and eliminate the evidence were completely unaware of this information and could only passively choose to fight to the death.

The cleaver had already been raised.

The fish could only die.

"Whirr—"

The wind on the rooftop was fierce.

Gu Shen gripped the Ruler of Truth and jumped down. This time, he didn't use too much mental power to imagine a grand scene, but just imagined wind spreading behind him, becoming wings.

The Ruler of Truth made a clear sound.

The fierce wind supported his body, gently pushing him a distance.

The boy glided in the night wind, landing steadily on the roof of the slightly shorter old building.

"Gu Shen... you're smarter than I thought."

After leaving the narrow corridor space, Chu Ling's "vision" also widened, and she saw the scene of the boy riding the wind.

Only the second time using the Ruler of Truth, and Gu Shen had already mastered the trick.

What an amazing learning ability.

After landing, Gu Shen squatted down on the spot, hiding in the darkness.

He grinned, his face obviously paler than before.

The outside sounds were a little harsh at this moment, and bursts of pain went straight to his mind.

Gu Shen found that for a period of time after using the ruler, he couldn't concentrate his attention, his spirit was diffused. This should be a side effect of using the ruler, possibly related to his lack of proficiency, and also to his lack of strong mental power.

He took a few deep breaths to adjust his spirit back.

For him, it wasn't difficult to try to visualize the picture. With the ruler in hand, opening it wasn't a problem.

But the consumption of using the Ruler of Truth was a significant hidden danger.

The use of the "Ruler of Truth" was like the switch of an electric gate. As long as you use it for even a second... it will consume a lot of spirit.

He had only used it for a few seconds just now, and he was already a little overwhelmed?

This wouldn't do!

He wondered if Mr. Tree had a special training method for tempering mental strength... Gu Shen secretly made up his mind. The Ruler of Truth was now his greatest reliance and a life-saving trump card!

After returning, he had to improve his mental strength in order to better control it.

"You just said... you sensed extraordinaries approaching?"

Gu Shen sat crouched in a dark corner, and it took several minutes before he recovered.

"Yes, that's right." Chu Ling's tone was a little puzzled, "However, these two extraordinaries... didn't appear together."

"Of course not..."

Gu Shen laughed softly and said, "It seems you're not omniscient either."

Chu Ling was even more confused.

"The extraordinary left behind by the Tribunal was tricked away from the mountain, but this... is actually inviting a tiger to the mountain." Gu Shen said concisely, "The watcher left, and the real big fish will show up. And at this time, it's time to close the net."

Chu Ling then understood: "You mean... one of the two extraordinaries I detected is from the Tribunal?"

"Yes."

"The one who mixed into the old building earlier should have wanted to destroy the scene on the rooftop, not knowing that he was already being targeted." Gu Shen found it a little funny, "We call this kind of behavior 'entrapment'."

As soon as he finished speaking.

"Rumble—"

At the rooftop passage of the old building above, a burst of air exploded.

Two figures, one in front and one behind, crashed out of the narrow rooftop passage.

Gu Shen hid in the darkness and looked up... He saw the familiar figure in the windbreaker, heroic and valiant, with double swords in both hands, chopping and gouging, suppressing the opponent without any ability to fight back.

["I have important things to do tonight, so I won't accompany you."]

So Nan Jin's so-called important matter... referred to this...

Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he chose the right time and got away in time.

This battle was one-sided.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Thousands of sword lights bloomed in the dark night.

Along with an angry and shrill scream, the poor mantis was pierced through the shoulder by the oriole with a single sword and hung in the sky above the rooftop.

The windbreaker fluttered.

Nan Jin's arm strength was amazing. She held the sword horizontally at ninety degrees, the tip of the sword carrying the struggling man. She said softly, "Move again, and I'll kill you."

"Hiss..."

The other party gritted his teeth and looked down at the position where he was hanging.

This was eleven stories high... With his current injuries, if he broke free from the tip of the sword and fell down like this, he would surely die.

And this crazy woman's fighting power was too terrifying.

After some consideration, he chose to obediently submit and no longer struggle.

Nan Jin expressionlessly shook the sword, a flash of silver returned to its sheath, and like throwing a sandbag, she slammed this already crippled extraordinary heavily on the ground.

"...Hmm?"

She suddenly frowned, her gaze fixed on the adjacent old building, fixed on a certain point in the shadows.

Why did she feel that someone was spying on her?

Nan Jin raised her sword again, the tip of the sword aimed at the direction she sensed, and a powerful sword force surged out.

Retracting his head immediately, hiding behind a huge clay pot on the rooftop, Gu Shen's breathing suddenly became stagnant... This bad woman's perception was too strong, wasn't it?

Across such a long distance, she wouldn't try to deliver a sword, would she?

Gu Shen's back was soaked with cold sweat.

His intuition told him that if Nan Jin really delivered a sword, he might be cut into pieces.

Fortunately... This vast sword force hovered for more than ten seconds before slowly dissipating.

"I didn't detect the aura of an extraordinary... Am I overthinking it?"

Nan Jin relaxed her brow. The most urgent thing was to bring the man in front of her back.

She put away her silver sword, jumped back to the rooftop, picked up the half-dead sandbag, and said quietly, "Come with me for a while."
