Chapter 862: Call yourself (big chapter, please vote for me)
The obscured sun disk in the sky set towards the end of the western skyline. He Ao stood on top of the towering building, looking at this city with some Western classical style.
The crowded motorcades on the streets have begun to flow in an orderly manner.
Jamis is capable, and if he is given time, he may be able to finally solve the evacuation of Mote City, but in the face of such a catastrophe, the most lacking thing is time.
Ho's team lacked the help of someone who fully understood the local situation.
The captain of the Mote City Gendarmerie is just such a person. His knowledge of the entire Mote City is even far greater than that of the extraordinary beings of World Tree who work in the office building.
He Ao took him to the World Tree Ika headquarters building. With the help of the military police captain, the evacuation efficiency was significantly improved.
However, the recovery speed of the 'Blood Sun' in the sky has also accelerated significantly, and sporadic phone ringing has begun to echo in the corners of the streets and alleys.
Like a soft call from hell, it stirs everyone's heartstrings.
And it is almost foreseeable that the recovery speed of Blood Sun will become faster and faster.
But the good news is that the transparent planet suspended in the universe, which is the fundamental source of the "blood sun", relies on the light of the sun as the medium for power transmission.
When night comes, its power cycle is likely to enter a period of decline.
And this night is the best time to evacuate.
"He Bu, we are now in the place where the last 'poster' disappeared."
At this time, Como came over from behind He Ao. He walked towards He Ao with a tablet computer.
"Judging from the map, these locations are unevenly scattered throughout Mote City. Following your instructions and the collected information, I made a map of their activity areas."
He Ao lowered his gaze and looked at the screen on the tablet in Como's hand.
The main content of the screen is a map of Mote City, with ten points marked on the map.
These ten points are what He Ao asked for from Yan Yue before. Among the earliest thirty 'weird talk posts', the ten 'posters' who lived in Mote City disappeared.
These ten points are distributed in the four directions of Mote City, southeast, northwest, some are concentrated together, and some are scattered around, seemingly irregular.
Areas of different colors extend along these ten points. Some of these areas are long and narrow, some are wide and fat, some are stacked on top of each other, and some are completely unrelated to other areas.
At first glance, there are no obvious patterns between these areas.
He Ao ran through all ten spots, including the earliest spot of the missing boy, and found only three spots with remaining 'green light spots', and they were extremely rare.
However, this can also verify some things from the side.
He Ao reached out and took the tablet PC handed over by Como. He stared at the map on the computer, staring at the seemingly irregular 'activity areas', clicked on the map editing mode, and then selected 'Show subway'
bus routes'.
In an instant, dense lines of various colors filled the entire screen.
As a large city with a population of eight million, Mote City is the capital of the entire Republic of Ika. The transportation is extremely developed. Various bus lines, subway lines, and tram lines are intricately connected, and they are as dense as a cobweb.
He Ao stared at these lines, raised his hand, enlarged the city map, moved to the activity areas of each missing poster, and then scanned the lines passing through those areas.
Finally, he zoomed out the entire map again and focused on the center of the city.
He raised his hand and entered marking mode, lighting up small dots on the entire map.
Como stood aside and watched He Ao's movements.
He suddenly discovered that the points pointed out by He Ao were not within the activity area of the missing posters, but at a location not far or near from the activity area.
And these points are just bus stops.
A bus line named Line 031 connects these bus stations.
In the end, He Ao only pointed out seven points, each close to the activity area of the seven missing posters, and these seven points happened to be on that bus line.
Not all of the ten posters may have been in direct contact with the original propagator of the ghost story. It is possible that three of them are not on this line.
"031,"
Como stared blankly at the bus line and said subconsciously, "Isn't this the line I use to commute to get off work?"
"yes."
He Ao returned his gaze to the center of the entire map. Line 031 would pass through the city center, pass by the World Tree Ika headquarters building standing in the city center, and pass under the nose of the entire World Tree organization.
Next to the World Tree building, there are some commercial and residential areas.
Sometimes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
"That guy, he won't always live near the headquarters building, right?"
Como looked at the movement of He Ao's eyes and said tremblingly.
Along the way, He Ao had briefly communicated with him his conjectures about the origin of the strange story.
When he thought that the man behind the whole incident had actually lived near the World Tree headquarters building, and might even have taken the same bus as him, he felt a chill running down his spine.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely to happen.
For the person behind the scenes, living near the headquarters building of World Tree is not only "dark under the light", but also allows him to hide in the blind spots of his mind. He can also monitor the behavior of World Tree at any time to see whether his plan is running correctly.
Como swallowed his saliva and looked at He Ao, "Mr. He Ao, it has been so long, has that guy left?"
Then he looked at He Ao who didn't respond immediately, paused, and continued to ask, "Or is he still in Mote City? Right next to the headquarters building?"
This may also be a blind spot in thinking under the light.
When people thought that so much time had passed and the person behind the scenes should have left long ago, it was possible that he did the opposite and stayed in Mote City.
Judging from the current situation, the other party seems to be a thorough and confident planner. This kind of highly intelligent criminal likes to appreciate his own criminal achievements.
And if he wants to 'see' his plan go smoothly, Mote City, which is in the center of the bloody sun, is the best 'viewing platform'.
Countless thoughts flashed through Como's mind, and he felt that he was finally able to keep up with the thinking of the young 'Mr. Ho' in front of him.
He looked at the side face of He Ao, who still had not responded to his guess, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Mr. He Ao, do we want to arrange for people to search the area near the headquarters building?"
"need,"
He Ao glanced at the obscured 'sun' that was about to completely set in the west, emitting some red light, and looked back at Como, "But there is a high probability that he is not in the city."
"Did he run away long ago?"
Como was completely confused. He found that he could not keep up with He Ao's thinking.
"No,"
He Ao shook his head. He glanced at the tablet in his hand and handed it back to Como with a smile. "The fact that we can find this proves that he most likely did not run away."
Cuomo: "Huh?"
“Don’t you think we found this bus route too easy?”
He Ao looked at Como's confused eyes and asked with a smile.
"Rong, is it easy?"
Como looked at the marked points on the map and asked stammeringly.
If he was given a discussion team and a few days, he might be able to find such commonalities among these dense lines.
But the young person in charge in front of me didn't spend more than two minutes looking at the map in total.
"Contact Jamies and arrange for people to search the residential area near the Yggdrasil Ika headquarters,"
He Ao smiled and patted Como on the shoulder. He raised his head and glanced at the 'sunset' that had completely submerged into the horizon, then slowly turned around and walked towards the helicopter behind him.
"Then shall we go back to the headquarters building now?"
Como held the tablet, followed He Ao dizzy, and asked quickly.
"You lead the way and we get out of the city."
He Ao shook his head and continued.
"where to?"
Como quickly caught up with Ho Ao.
"Able to monitor Yggdrasil's actions,"
He Ao climbed onto the helicopter, turned around, and glanced at Como, "It's not just near the World Tree headquarters building."

The night and the light of stars spread over the quiet garden.
A somewhat thin figure walked through the wet, moss-covered steps.
He stopped at the end of the garden and spoke slowly. A voice as decayed and hoarse as a corpse came out of his mouth,
"Ignorant people are fleeing. They are avoiding the shining of the bloody sun and the coming glory."
The surrounding night fell into silence. Amidst the sound of flowing water, a lantern stretched out from the darkness, illuminating the path forward of the thin figure. A hoarse voice echoed in the dark void.
"Inform those blind followers that this is the time for them to dedicate their loyalty to the coming glory. The bloody day has arrived, and everything in this world will be greatly reshaped."
"yes."
The thin figure responded slightly, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
——
Mott City Suburbs
"Is this where it is?"
He Ao turned on the flashlight and shined it on the road ahead. A bright and huge stone carving appeared in front of him.
There is a line of large characters carved under the stone carving, [Château Sutter].
In front of this luxurious and magnificent stone carving, there are piles of construction waste materials.
At this moment, in He Ao's 'vision' affected by the Eye of Truth, the surroundings are filled with various twisted black spots.
The concentration of black spots in this area is much stronger than that of a city under a bloody sun.
"Yes,"
Como, who was following He Ao, nodded, "This is the winery that Sert is still building. Construction has been going on here until the bloody day came. After the bloody day came, it caused panic. Sert was afraid that these workers would cause trouble and fight."
After breaking his statue, the workers were evacuated and sent home."
As he spoke, he paused and looked around with a flashlight, "Mr. He Ao, what are we doing here?"
At this moment, the mobile phone in his arms vibrated. He took out his mobile phone, took a look at it, immediately looked at He Ao, and said quickly, "Mr. He Ao, the search results near the headquarters building have been returned, and no one was found.
Information about extraordinary beings.”
At this moment, he finally roughly connected what he was experiencing.
The young leader in front of him arranged to search those residential areas, not to find the person behind the scenes, but to verify some kind of 'conjecture'.
He looked at He Ao and whispered, "The man behind the scenes is hiding in Set's manor?"
When Set was still around, they, the extraordinary beings of the World Tree, were often brought to the manor to work as coolies, or they used their abilities to help Set build the manor.
In a sense, in Set's manor, one can indeed see the status of the world tree in the entire Ika Republic organization.
Then Cuomo paused, looked at He Ao, and asked the question in his heart, "How are you sure that the person behind the scenes has not left?"
"Because he's trying to make us think he's gone,"
He Ao shook his head and walked over the construction debris on the ground toward the inside of the manor.
"He left clues about bus route No. 031 in order to lure investigators to search the buildings around the World Tree headquarters.
"This is actually a process of 'suspiciousness' and 'verification'. Judging from his layout ability, investigators usually suspect that he will use the dark blind spots under the lights to continue hiding in Mote City.
"So he deliberately released the clue of bus No. 031 to let investigators speculate that he had been staying near the World Tree headquarters building.
"Then the investigators will most likely search nearby famous places. After a fruitless search, the investigators will come to the conclusion that 'the person behind the scenes has escaped.' People are always willing to believe the conclusions they draw.
,"
He Ao raised his flashlight to illuminate the surrounding darkness,
"But on the other hand, since the person behind the scenes so deliberately wants to create the illusion of 'leaving', there is a high probability that he will still stay in Mote City, and the entire Mote City can monitor the World Tree Organization.
The only place other than the headquarters building is this manor.
"Of course, these are just my guesses. I just saw that the clue of the 031 bus route was too obvious, so I made a guess.
"After all, a person who would consider controlling the proportion of posts is unlikely to be so 'simple' as to just take a bus line and then carry out actions near this line."
"Then he has never taken bus 031?"
Como breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Are these all disguises?"
It seemed that his previous assumption that he had been in the same car with the person behind the scenes was over-thought.
"No,"
He Ao shook his head, "There is a high probability that he really took this bus to take action. The most authentic disguise is to really do it, using nine points of truth to cover up one point of lies, and at the World Tree headquarters
Near the building, there is a high probability that he does have a residence.
"Perhaps he might have sat next to you while you were commuting to and from get off work. If he knows your identity as a World Tree, the possibility of doing so is not small."
Como:······
So dirty, so dirty, these smart people are so dirty.
"Of course, these are just my guesses."
He Ao added slowly that he did not have more time to collect evidence.
Como glanced at He Ao's back and was speechless for a moment.
He felt that this was most likely the truth.
The young minister in front of him easily identified the trap buried under the road, and followed the trap to detect the location of the 'hunter' who laid the trap.
The identities of hunter and prey may have changed at this moment.
At this moment, they had entered the deepest part of the construction site, and Heao's flashlight was shining on the surrounding 'things'.
Half-carved statues and classical buildings with scaffolding can be seen everywhere, making people feel like they have returned to the royal gardens under construction in ancient Western countries.
Rather than saying this is a wine estate, it is better to say that this is a 'private palace' that Set built for himself.
call--
The wind at night passed through the gaps between the buildings, making a whistling and sharp sound.
Como braved the wind in the night and quickly looked around, "Mr. Ho, where is that guy hiding?"
"Perhaps, he is not hidden in the surface world,"
He Ao raised his head, looked at the dense black spots that seemed to be solid around him, and slowly took out his phone.
A message popped up on his phone, which was the message from Yan Yue telling him that the extraordinary beings who would protect the evacuated residents had been assigned to designated locations.
He Ao quickly read the message, then unlocked his phone, entered the call interface, and quickly entered a mobile phone number.
"Mr. He Ao, who do you want to call?
Como looked at He Ao doubtfully.
"Give it to myself."
He Ao replied quickly and then dialed the phone number directly.
"beep-"
Under the dark night, the phone was answered after a soft ring.
