Five days later.
Everything was calm and peaceful.
"This actually didn't work?" Xie Dong said gloomily.
He felt that his intelligence had been insulted.
Not a single one of the ninety-nine numbered criminals had died.
It was as if the opponent had seen through his methods.
"That Behind-the-Scenes Manipulator should possess some means of obtaining information. The most basic possibility is that he saw the ninety-nine criminals being broadcast in different places and guessed that they were bait."
Chen Qiu analyzed calmly.
"The most advanced possibility is that he can see what we are doing. Everything about us is completely transparent to him."
"How is that possible?" Xie Dong objected instinctively.
"It's entirely possible. Don't forget that Minister Zhao possesses Prophecy Power." Li Chun stepped forward to support Chen Qiu's analysis.
Meanwhile, Oshima Yuki flipped to the final page of the notebook.
It contained things that not even the Demon could see.
"16:50: The four are analyzing the Behind-the-Scenes Manipulator's abilities. They have discovered that their previous bait was ineffective."
"16:51: Chen Qiu deduces that the Behind-the-Scenes Manipulator possesses Prophecy Power. Xie Dong objects, Li Chun supports him, and Liu Xia says nothing."
A slight smile appeared on Oshima Yuki's lips.
This was precisely the source of his confidence.
If someone targeted him, this notebook would provide feedback, telling him what the other party had done and what they were about to do.
When intelligence wasn't enough, prophecy would make up the difference.
Unfortunately, if no one was targeting him, the notebook could not provide any prophecies—
Such as where treasures could be found or what the lottery numbers were...
He had also considered spreading word that he would offer the notebook to the Eastern Continent People, then using the notebook to see how they planned to treat him.
