Just as Weismann was caught in a storm of thoughts, Ronan's voice reached his ears:
"Captain Weismann."
"Ah, Professor Ronan."
"This is the last Water Tank avatar I could find in Mo City. It's bad news, but it barely counts as good news too. You understand."
Weismann nodded slightly.
The bad news was that, after all this effort, they still had not captured Water Tank's real body. The danger had not truly been eliminated. The good news was that if even Ronan could confirm that no further traces of Water Tank remained within Mo City, then the fellow had most likely really left.
Honestly, Water Tank's persistence around Mo City over the past three hours—his apparent determination to enter the city no matter what—had put enormous pressure on everyone in the Justice Cult. If he gave up that obsession and decisively fled, that was indeed good news.
After all, no one had truly expected to be able to eliminate Water Tank, who possessed a Symbiotic Chain.
The failed worldwide manhunt years ago had already proven that. Why prove it a second time?
"Professor Ronan, thank you..."
At that point, Weismann's words caught unconsciously. The Exhibition Stage and the "forest" before him made the word "thanks" seem mocking and bizarre.
Ronan did not seem to feel anything and continued, "You know that Li Wei and I are already locked in a fight to the death. It would have been one thing if I had not encountered Water Tank this time, but now that I did and still let him escape right under my nose, I'm not very willing to let it go. So next, regardless of how your Cult intends to proceed, I still need to investigate further. If that causes any other unforeseen consequences, please forgive me."
This... Weismann wanted
