After concealing himself, Xu Ye suddenly sensed a powerful unease, as though someone had pulled down his pants and peeped at him.
"Something is investigating you!" Bandit Lord's voice grew grave. "Its rank isn't high enough, though it isn't low, either. I interfered with part of it for you. It won't affect you."
"Divination again? Or something else?" With his head lowered and his hands in his pockets, Xu Ye made a circuit of a nearby convenience store. After buying a carton of eggs and some vegetables, he carried the bag home.
Was it that pregnant girl?
Could it be someone high up with ties to the Matchmaker Society?
Babies... pregnancy... the Lord of Darkfall... His thoughts wandered, and perhaps thanks to a flash of inspiration, Xu Ye suddenly thought of the Lord of Darkfall.
After all, the Matchmaker Society was a gathering place for the Lord of Darkfall's followers.
Eight fetuses.
Connecting that with the hint his heart had just given him, as well as the baby-trafficking case he had encountered not long ago, Xu Ye suddenly raised an eyebrow.
He took out his phone and sent Li Wan a message. After weighing his words, Xu Ye decided to have Li Wan tell Shen Xinghai and the others to focus their investigation on the Matchmaker Society.
He also told Li Wan that the Matchmaker Society's members were followers of the Lord of Darkfall and were suspected of involvement in a ritual for the Lord of Darkfall's descent.
Hmm... there's one more thing.
Shen Xinghai must be guessing at my identity, but he's also wary. I need Li Wan to drop a hint that I might be connected to the Thunder Sound Society. After all, I'm holding Key No. 1.
For one thing, that would put them somewhat at ease.
