After a long while, Bu Lianshi withdrew her Absolute Perception. This time, she was certain—the person had truly disappeared rather than hidden himself.
"He was clearly prepared to fight us just now. Why did he suddenly give up afterward?" Southern Dipper said with a deep frown.
Lin Chuan glanced at the sky. He remembered clearly that the sickly youth had suddenly left only after looking up. In other words, he had most likely received some message at that moment. Yet with so many of them present, not one of them had sensed anything unusual.

Being targeted by someone so eerie made him feel as though he were sitting on pins and needles.
"I can't. I can only deduce that he has some connection to us, but I cannot determine where that connection comes from!" Xiao Heng shook his head.
