To Help Find the Intruder? Heiyu Felt Insulted!

"Wei Army just announced that they would build a free school in Section D, which will enlist both common people and superfunction possessors. The school will cover education from early childhood level to twelfth grade and provide lunch for students of early childhood and primary level."

Gu Mingxuan announced the news with a grave look before anyone asked. All the people present turned gloomy upon hearing the news. This idea was almost the same with the one they had come up with yesterday. Mo Army was going to announce the school plan later today, but Wei Army had done it early in the morning. It seemed to be too much of a coincidence. Wei Army must have somehow stolen their idea.

"What did Wenyang say about this? Was the information leaked from their end?"

Everyone lost their appetite at the bad news.

Xing Feng rose to his feet and left the dining room. With a sigh, Yun Che swept some meat-stuffed baozi into his Space and stood up. "Enjoy your breakfast. I'll go check it up."

With that, he left with Xing Feng. The rest of the people looked at each other, with no appetite to eat anything. They just found out that someone had copied their idea and even announced the plan before they could. Who wouldn't be pissed off?

"Wenyang says that only his parents and a few people whom he trusts know about the plan. It's unlikely that they have leaked the information."

After returning to their house, Gu Mingxuan was still pulling a long face. He was upset that Wei Army was one step ahead, but more importantly, he was worried about the leak. He didn't think they had a traitor, and the only possibility was that this place had been monitored or bugged.

"Who were present yesterday?"

"It's not one of us," Yun Che cut in before Gu Mingxuan could respond.

Meeting their gazes, Yun Che walked over and sat next to Xing Feng. "When we talked about the school plan yesterday, no outsiders were there. Later, Mingxuan made a phone call in this room. After that, none of us ever mentioned the plan again. I don't think we've been sold out by our people."

All the people living here were close friends that could risk their lives for each other. Yun Che had absolute trust in his friends. Suspecting his friends would be an insult to them, and if he did that, he didn't deserve to be their friend.

"Che's right. I've specifically asked everyone to keep it a secret. I don't think anyone would have slipped."

Gu Mingxuan echoed Yun Che with a nod. Though those teammates always liked to tease around, they knew what they should do and what they shouldn't.

"Tell Wenqing to examine the phone lines and scan every inch of our buildings. Maybe he can find something."

As the boss, Xing Feng trusted his people more than anyone else did. Before long, Yu Wenqing carried the detecting equipment over and started to scan the house. However, after scanning the house for the entire morning, they couldn't find any cameras or bugs. In the meantime, Mo Army sent over a message, saying that they had ruled out the possibility of a leak on their end. Xing Feng ran into a dead end.

"Mingxuan, pay a visit to Wenyang and tell him to gather all the relevant people and use superfunction to see if any of them are lying."

Xing Feng looked grave. This was a problem they couldn't overlook. If they couldn't find the leak, how were they supposed to keep any secret in the future? Wei Army had blindsided them, and they still couldn't figure out how Wei Army had done it, which meant they were still living with a time bomb.

"I'll be on it right now."

Though he didn't think it was the best strategy, Gu Mingxuan nodded heavily. He knew how serious the problem was.

"Who's there?"

Suddenly, Yun Che raised his voice and dashed out. At the sight of that, Xing Feng and the others went out as well. Yun Che stood at the door and looked around, frowning.

"What's wrong?"

Xing Feng chewed out the question while the others scattered and searched around in the yard. Judging from Yun Che's behavior, Xing Feng realized that someone might be eavesdropping on them just now.

"I heard someone sneer."

As an air superfunction possessor, Yun Che was sensitive to sound, which was transported through the air. He knew what he had heard.

"Are you sure?"

Xing Feng asked after he glanced over everyone present. They were all level-3 superfunction possessors with good hearings, but none of them had heard anything.

"Yes, I'm sure. When Mingxuan nodded, I heard someone sneer, as if he was laughing at us for being stupid."

Every detail mattered. Yun Che knew what he had heard, and Xing Feng wouldn't overlook the problem.

"We can't find anyone suspicious."

Before long, all the people gathered around. They had turned the whole yard upside down, but there was no sign of the mysterious person. While everyone became gloomier, Yun Che smiled mysteriously. "Close the doors. Don't open them unless necessary today. Put away the food and drinks in your rooms and seal the refrigerator."

"Do as Yun Che says."

"Aye!"

Xing Feng waved his hand to give the order, showing absolute trust in Yun Che. After Shen Rui and some others shut all the doors, Yun Che took out several manual blowers and a few bags of flour, saying, "Cover every inch of the floor with flour. Even if it's a ghost, I'll catch it."

When he finished, everyone felt a chill down their spines for some reason, as if there were a ghost standing beside them.

With a shiver, they took the blowers and flour one after another and carried out the order. Xing Feng, Yun Che, and Gu Mingxuan returned inside the house.

"Enlighten us."

Their guts told them that he must know something.

"There are all kinds of superfunction. Everything is possible. You've all seen movies before Doomsday, right? You must have heard of a kind of superfunction that enables a person to make himself disappear like a ghost."

"Invisibility?"

Xing Feng and Gu Mingxuan exclaimed simultaneously. This had explained everything. If there was an invisibility superfunction possessor, he might have sneaked into their community and listened to their conversations without being noticed.

"Uh-huh. To my knowledge, there are two kinds of superfunction that enable a superfunction possessor to hide himself. One is the superfunction of invisibility, and the other is the superfunction of darkness. The darkness superfunction enables a superfunction possessor to blend in the night, but it won't work in broad daylight. Hence, the person who has sneaked into our house must be an invisibility superfunction possessor."

It didn't occur to Yun Che that it could be an invisibility superfunction possessor until just now. This kind of superfunction possessors didn't have much combat power, but the ability to hide in the dark to watch and listen made it easy for them to collect information secretly. Now that he knew an invisibility superfunction possessor had sneaked into their house, he should assume that there would be more in the future. Therefore, they had to figure out a way to guard against these invisibility superfunction possessors.

"Therefore, you told everyone to put away the food and cover the floor with flour. The invisibility superfunction possessor can hide in the house, but he'll be hungry sooner or later. When he tries to get out, the flour on the floor will reveal his footprints."

Gu Mingxuan finally figured out what Yun Che was trying to do. An invisibility superfunction possessor was invisible, but he could not float in the air like a ghost. Hence, it would not be hard to catch him.

"Uh-huh. You'd better notify Wenyang as well. We don't get to see invisibility superfunction very often, but it's not something rare. There might be plenty of invisibility superfunction possessors out there."

He didn't take any precautions before because it had not occurred to him that he should. After all, this was not something one would ponder about every day.

"I'll be on it."

With a nod, Gu Mingxuan rose to his feet and dialed Wenyang's number. The sullen look on Xing Feng's face finally eased a little bit, and he asked, "Is there any way to deal with the invisibility superfunction possessor?"

"Of course. But I can't tell you until we catch this invisibility superfunction possessor. He might be standing right next to us and listening to our conversation at this very moment."

Yun Che picked up the teacup and sipped it before he glanced over the entire hall. It turned out that having a large house could be a disadvantage sometimes. They had to wait patiently to catch that person.

"What do you think we should do to him?"

Knowing his plan, Xing Feng started a casual conversation with Yun Che. Since he could not leave the house, he figured he should just take a day off and deal with the laboratory thing tomorrow. He was hell-bent on getting the laboratory. If those two armies didn't let go, he would force them to regardless of the cost. He had to start the research suggested by Yun Che as soon as possible.

"It's up to you. You can fry or boil him, or maybe dump him in a group of zombies."

With a shrug, Yun Che took out the meat-stuffed baozi he had put in the Space in the morning and three bottles of milk. Suddenly, something crossed his mind, and he patted his forehead. "Why did I forget Heiyu? With the sensitive nose, maybe he can find that person soon."

Well, he was thinking about using Heiyu as a search dog.

"Good idea. Let's give it a shot!"

Holding back the strong urge to laugh, Xing Feng nodded with an earnest look, and Yun Che released Heiyu from the Space.

"Damn it! You've locked me inside for an afternoon and a night. What kind of master are you? What if I get sick? What if I become depressed and even get autism for being locked up for too long?"

Heiyu pounced at Yun Che as soon as he was released. Fortunately, he remained the size of a Tibetan Mastiff. If he was in his original size, he probably had crushed Yun Che to death. Even so, Yun Che was struggling, the blue veins on his temples twitching constantly.

"Don't worry. You're the last person in this world to have autism. And depression would never happen to you."

Yun Che grabbed Heiyu's front claws and pushed the latter away. His lips twitched and he rolled back his eyes, thinking, 'Autism? This beast is insulting the term autism. Besides, he has been in the Space for so many years, but he still nags all the time, doesn't he? Why does he have the ability to speak? I would rather him stay quiet all the time just like any other ordinary beasts.'

"What now, Master? Are you mocking me?" Heiyu choked as he continued, "How pathetic I am to have such a master!"

'Great! Now, this beast is complaining and crying like a woman once again.'

Yun Che conjured an air membrane to wrap himself and Xing Feng inside so that he could enjoy the food without listening to that haunting voice. In the meantime, he started to regret his unwise decision to release Heiyu.

Receiving no response from them, Heiyu realized that his master must have used superfunction to shield his voice, which made him more aggrieved. He stared at Yun Che, as if he would shed tears at any time if Yun Che continued to ignore him.

"Are you done? I need your help."

Having finished the food, Yun Che removed the air membrane and turned around to kick Heiyu, who was lying on the ground with his stomach. Heiyu looked at him angrily, "What? Now you need me? Where were you when I'm locked inside the Space? I must be out of mind when I signed the divine contract with you! You know what? I'm angry now, very angry. I won't help you."

This beast had been living for centuries, yet he was acting like a child. How shameless he was!

"Are you sure? Well, in that case, I guess I should move the energy bars from the Space to Xing Feng's place."

"No, please don't! I'll do whatever you need me to do. Anyway, you're my master, aren't you? Just give me the order, and I'll be on it right away."

The energy bars had always been his weak spot. Heiyu dropped his angry look and became submissive immediately. Xing Feng and Gu Mingxuan couldn't help but chuckle, and Yun Che said with a satisfied smile, "It's an easy job. A rat has sneaked into our house, and I need you to use your sensitive nose to help us find it."

"Damn it! Do you think I'm a dog? I'm a divine beast!"

Heiyu became furious again, and his roar almost shook down the entire villa. Yun Che covered his ears in time as he had seen this coming. Xing Feng and Gu Mingxuan were not that lucky, and their ears were buzzing because of that loud voice.
