Just as Jack was about to follow Vivian deep into the investigation of the explosion site, Vivian suddenly turned around, her expression becoming extremely serious. She sternly told Jack, "Don't come any closer! Tanshao will sense something is wrong!" Jack was momentarily shocked by Vivian's stern voice and stopped in his tracks, asking in confusion, "Tanshao?"
Vivian softened her tone slightly and explained, "Oh... didn't I tell you just now? Tanshao is a blind middle-aged man, and his ability is similar to using radar to locate everyone within a large area. This ability gives him unparalleled intelligence gathering capabilities within The Curse of the Wild. If he discovers that you are working with me, our plan will surely fail!"
Jack only just realized the seriousness of the situation, a look of sudden understanding appearing on his face. It turned out that Vivian and he were not only facing the physical power of The Curse of the Wild, but also this almost all-knowing intelligence gathering ability. This gave Jack a deeper understanding of Vivian's plan and also made him feel a bit nervous about the upcoming challenge.
Vivian carefully explained to Jack, her voice filled with determination and caution: "You stay here. This way Tanshao will think we have you restrained. You must not move around again! Otherwise, he will notice something is wrong." Jack nodded seriously, a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes, evidently fully understanding Vivian's plan and its risks.
Vivian turned around and her gaze fell on Mud and Chuchan who were still unconscious and leaning against the wall. She turned back to Jack and said, "If they wake up... try to explain the situation to them. If that doesn't work, just wait for me to come back."
This statement made Jack feel a bit of pressure, but it also made him understand his importance in this plan. He was not only a part of Vivian's plan, but also bore the responsibility of protection and explanation. Jack glanced at the still sleeping Mud and Chuchan, silently determined in his heart that no matter what happened, he would do his best to complete the task assigned by Vivian.
Afterwards, Vivian turned and quickly walked towards the direction of the explosion, while Jack stayed in place, his gaze occasionally sweeping over their two companions who were still unconscious, silently praying for everything to proceed smoothly.
Vivian quickened her pace, her heart rate gradually accelerating as she approached the explosion site. The patrols of The Curse of the Wild usually kept a close watch on this area. Could they have encountered an irresistible force? Or had new invaders quietly infiltrated? Her mind was filled with various questions, but more so with curiosity about the unknown and vigilance towards unexpected situations.
As Vivian was approaching Bank Street, an even louder explosion rang out, deafening her. Instinctively, she raised her arm to shield her face from any debris that might be propelled by the blast. The shockwave from the explosion nearly knocked her off her feet, sending dust and rubble flying and causing distant buildings to tremble.
As the dust settled, Vivian's tense expression turned resolute. She knew this explosion was surely related to the new abnormal events, possibly a new invader or some internal turmoil within The Curse of the Wild. Regardless, as a member of The Curse of the Wild, she had to uncover the truth while ensuring her own safety.
She quickened her pace and rushed towards the direction of the earth-shattering noise, secretly hoping that nothing too serious would happen, while also preparing herself to respond to any sudden situation. Vivian knew deeply that every day in Rado City was a struggle against the unknown and danger, and today seemed to be another challenging day.
Tanshao sat quietly in a dark room, his face expressionless but his heart in turmoil. His ability was like an invisible net, silently covering the entire Rado City, and every subtle movement could not escape his perception. When he focused his attention on the main street, every movement there immediately drew all his attention.
In his perception, the scene on Bank Street was like a chaotic painting, with various life forms converging towards a specific point. There was a powerful life form there, carrying a familiar yet unfamiliar aura, presumably the mysterious intruder. Not far away, Vivian's presence was rapidly approaching, indicating that she had already noticed the anomaly.
Tanshao furrowed his brow slightly. Vivian's speed of action was faster than he had expected, suggesting that she may have received some information in advance. However, what made him even more curious was, who exactly was this intruder? To cause such turmoil in Rado City and attract Vivian's attention, it was undoubtedly not an ordinary person.
His thoughts crystallized in this moment, and then he made a decision to report this information to Rein. Tanshao knew that regardless of the identity of this mysterious intruder, it was an undeniable factor for The Curse of the Wild. And Vivian's actions might inadvertently change the entire situation in Rado City.
Tanshao turned slowly towards Rein and reported, his voice steady and powerful, even in the dimly lit room, it sounded particularly clear. "Rein... the new intruder caused a disturbance on Bank Street... I don't know what he's up to? But Vivian seems to have already rushed over there." His words carried a hint of uncertainty, as if testing Rein's reaction.
Rein lazily nestled on the sofa, and upon hearing Tanshao's words, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face. He gently caressed the ball of electricity in his hand, seemingly lost in thought. "Oh? In that case, Vivian should have taken care of the intruder from before, the one she let slip." Rein's tone carried a hint of inquiry, as well as trust and expectation towards Vivian.
Tanshao stood quietly, his expression unchanged, but he understood that every word from Rein held deep meaning. For Rein, every upheaval in Rado City was an opportunity to observe and control the situation, whether it was a new intruder or Vivian's actions, it was a process of testing and adjustment for him.
