Once, I wanted to be a good person

Chapter 161 14. The female mentor was shocked (10,000 words asking for subscription!)_3

And as he embarked on this out-of-body experience, he made some observations that had previously eluded him.

For example, he noticed that the entire Security Bureau was shrouded in a faint isolation Array. To the eyes of the Void Eye, the Security Bureau appeared similar to the Paradise District; from any direction, it was veiled in a thin mist.

Completely impenetrable to his sight and passage.

Fang Ze had originally intended to give up.

However, it was at this moment he suddenly remembered the meeting he had attended in the Security Bureau the day before.

He remembered that while inside the Security Bureau, his Void Eye had been active, and he had been able to see everything inside the room.

So... this suggested that the "isolation Array" was likely "engraved" into the walls, or rather, it was something caused by specific materials in the walls.

Emboldened by this hypothesis, he decisively headed for the wall he had blasted through the previous day.

The wall was still under repair and had not been fixed yet.

And sure enough, to no surprise of his, the mist was absent at the point of damage, allowing Fang Ze to peer through the gap and examine the situation in the hallway.

Even more, he could extend his vision along the hallway into some of the rooms or floors that were not sealed off.

But if he wanted to see inside a closed conference room or office, the mist still obstructed his view, making it impossible to see through.

This confirmed Fang Ze's guess was right!

It also gave Fang Ze a bold idea: what if... he went outside the Paradise District and dug through a corner of the wall!

Or if he went into the Paradise District again, could he then use the Void Eye to peek inside?.....

Apart from discovering that the Security Bureau was "off-limits," Fang Ze also found out during his free time using the Void Eye that the training center was not wrapped in any Array.

Possibly because it had a lower level of secrecy, Fang Ze's Void Eye moved unimpeded, aimlessly wandering throughout the training center.

One moment he was observing other classes, the next he was watching the female instructor Qing Ya, and then he shifted his gaze to the girl he had bumped into that morning as she tricked a new batch of students—a rather interesting sight...

Thus, the day ended, and Fang Ze finished his lessons.

Then, filled with anticipation for officially learning the Body Tempering techniques the following day, he walked out, ready to head home.

On his way out of the training center, Fang Ze again ran into that girl he met in the morning—Nan Yi, who bore the exotic air of Miao Land and had odd patterns on her limbs.

She thrust out her unremarkable chest and saluted Fang Ze, "Greetings, Officer!"

Fang Ze glanced at her, saw no one else around, and with an Instant Step, he left the training center, leaving behind a confused Nan Yi: Eh? Where's my officer? My tall officer, where did he go?

The apartment Bai Zhi had rented for Fang Ze was not far away, so he jogged slowly towards his apartment.

Soon, he arrived at the base of the apartment building.

Humming a song, Fang Ze took out his keys, ready to head upstairs.

But just then, all of a sudden, he felt a gust of wind!

Before he could react, he heard a "thump!" and his body abruptly became encased in rock, transforming him into a stone figure!

The Rock Tape he had acquired from Kai Shi the previous night had been triggered!

What's more, it didn't end there!

The incoming attack was evidently not trivial; a single layer of rock defense was ineffectual against it.

Fang Ze felt his body swell sharply as another layer of rock formed.

After the second layer was also breached, a third emerged!

At that moment, the sole remaining defense artifact gifted by Bai Zhi finally activated!

Only after three successive layers of rock defense, coupled with the protection of the defense artifact, did it manage to barely block that thing.

"Clink..." the crisp sound of metal falling to the ground echoed.

Looking down, Fang Ze was surprised to find a bullet, the length of half a pinky finger, lying on the ground.

The bullet was smoking and still imbued with traces of the Power of Laws, clearly either a special Extraordinary Artifact or the Awakening Ability of an Awakener!

With this realization, Fang Ze regained his senses and activated his Void Eye, surveying his surroundings.

Then he saw a woman not far off on the street, clad in a black bodysuit, wearing a helmet, and mounted on a motorcycle. She cast a cold glance at him, placed the handgun she was holding on the bike, started the engine, and sped away!

Fang Ze watched the direction in which she disappeared, a thought crossed his mind, and he activated the Void Token, arriving about ten meters behind her.

Fang Ze was about to cross the void again to strike the woman with a "high-interest loan."

But the woman was clearly experienced; she twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle shot forward at an accelerated pace, too fast for Fang Ze to pinpoint her position!

Yet, he couldn't bear the thought of simply letting her go.

And it was in this moment Fang Ze had an epiphany.

He reached into his pocket, pulled out the Marking Spear that Director Pang had bribed him with (Chapter 2), and aimed it at the woman in the leather suit before firing a shot.

No bullet came out, resembling a toy gun being fired empty, but Fang Ze felt a subtle connection forming in the void between himself and the biker woman.

For the next month, he could pinpoint the woman's location with clarity! Unless he died or used some special artifact to block the signal, it would remain effective!

With the mark now in place, Fang Ze let down his guard.

He took a long look at the fading silhouette of the motorcycle and quickly headed home.

Once home, he inspected the entire room, called out One Two Three for a brief interrogation to ensure no one had entered, and then posted a guard.

He commanded One Two Three to stand guard while he himself lay on the sofa, sensing the target's location, and activated his Void Eye.

He intended to find out exactly what the woman biker was up to and who was behind it all!

This person who attempted to kill him on sight was not someone Fang Ze was willing to let slide!

He planned to root out these people and then one by one... eliminate them!
