Three enter the alley, only one leaves

The Spirit of the Owl, with its multiple composite effects, was indeed excellent and well-suited to Eileen's Archer role. However, it had a necessary drawback when using the "Vision Sync" effect.

Only when Vision Sync was actively triggered could Eileen receive the owl's vision. It wasn't like the God's Perspective in RTS games. At that moment, the image the owl saw would directly overlap with the Caster's own vision, Eileen's. This would overwhelm her visual nerves and brain, causing severe dizziness.

Therefore, Eileen had to close her eyes and block her vision to focus on processing the owl's visual information.

At this time, if Eileen wanted to further interfere with the owl's actions, she needed to synchronize her physical movements with the owl as much as possible. The higher the synchronization rate, the more precise the interference.

This matter was also recorded in Dungeon Meshi.

Eileen had a good memory. She had already memorized the appearance of those two women. As long as they hadn't used skills or items to temporarily alter their appearance and were within the owl's observation range, she could identify them immediately.

While one could spend money to change appearance, gender, or even race in the Chosen Space, it was merely a superficial shell. In game terms, it was like applying a skin MOD that wouldn't affect the character's original model. If there was real contact, such disguises would be useless. It couldn't actually give you an extra penis, more arms, or an 801...

There was a similar option when entering dungeon spaces. Players could spend money beforehand for a temporary disguise that only took effect once within the space. This function was unavailable inside the dungeon.

Another point worth noting was that most players, regardless of their strength, had a certain aura that made them stand out from their surroundings. After all, they were broadly considered the Fourth Calamity.

Among the Player Community, those who could maintain a good mindset while steadily improving their strength were already exceptional. However, the largest proportion of players were those who inevitably developed a "superior" mentality.

Only when they were defeated by stronger players, NPCs, or BOSS monsters on the spot might they restrain themselves, wake up... or simply ascend to heaven.

Only players with high Charm stats, who were skilled at interacting with local NPCs and specialized in developing and exploring dungeon plots, could completely erase their unique aura and even disguise themselves as local NPCs to trick other players.

In any case, based on Eileen's observation, the two women in her vision were definitely not those charismatic, acting-type players.

Of course, there was another reason they were easy to spot—

Twins were always conspicuous, no matter where they were. It was just unclear if their twin appearance was real or just part of their persona.

However, theoretically, when Eileen synchronized her vision with the owl, she was at her most vulnerable. Therefore, she shouldn't have casually used it in front of Cheng Tian, whom she had met for less than an hour, even with the Gray Contract that could be broken with money.

Of course, Cheng Tian only had two digits of Chosen Coins, not enough to pay a fine...

Yet, Eileen used it openly, without any extra vigilance, as if holding nothing back.

Was it trust? Or a test? No one knew but herself.

"Alright, I unilaterally declare your speculation's accuracy rate has increased to eighty percent."

Eileen, having broken contact with the owl and raised her hood again, gave Cheng Tian a thumbs-up.

"How so?"

"If I'm not mistaken, they should have used a biological item called 'Guiding Insect.' That thing can track the traces left by specific targets. Looking at their current movement... eighty percent chance they're coming for you. Less than twenty percent chance they're going for Batman."

While speaking, Eileen's gaze remained fixed on Cheng Tian's face. She wanted to see the expression of this Scallop Warrior.

To her surprise, she saw Cheng Tian's seemingly expressionless lips uncontrollably curving upwards, revealing a subtle, yet undeniable smile.

This guiding insect thing, Cheng Tian was naturally aware of it. It was the route guidance system from Monster Hunter: World, and also those flashing fireflies in certain fixed missions that would forcibly shift the viewpoint. The shift was so drastic it would make the controlled character twist their neck to the right. Especially when already locked onto the viewpoint of other monsters, being forcibly shifted by the guiding insect was quite a pain in the ass. You'd get your ass ripped open by an enraged monster.

Theoretically, as long as enough footprints, bodily fluid residue, combat traces, and other details were collected, the true location of the corresponding target could be gradually pieced together.

However, Cheng Tian, who had always used the guiding insect to find monsters, was being sought by a guiding insect for the first time. This clearly meant he was being treated as prey.

Cheng Tian didn't know who the other party was, what their strength was, how much malice they held towards him, or if he could even win.

He only knew that any being who treated others as prey, if they didn't have the awareness that they themselves would also be prey, then it would be too boring...

"The footprints are gone." "The person is ahead."

Two individuals clad in black ladies' coats unhesitatingly walked into the alley that ordinary people would avoid like the plague.

This was a manifestation of their considerable confidence in their own strength, so confident that they could quickly deal with any non-BOSS combat units of any gang, completely unafraid of Gotham City's formidable populace.

Soon, the breathing of the two women became noticeably rapid, as they had already seen Cheng Tian standing not far away in a King Kong stance, neither dodging nor evading. At the same time, their own guiding insects, emitting a fluorescent green light, had stopped glowing and all returned to their small jars. This indicated that their target had appeared within their field of vision.

With a swish, the two women directly threw off their coats, revealing a purple cybernetic bodysuit colored like Evangelion Unit-01, and the very full body curves beneath the suit.

A certain Archer hidden in a tall building instinctively let out a tut.

Then, these two women, who looked like twins, used their incredibly agile, leaping, and bounding movements, almost mirroring the synchronized training of Unit-01 and Unit-02 against the Seventh Angel Music Angel, and decisively charged rapidly towards Cheng Tian!
