Chapter 1229: Thinking

Thinking that Aaron might be guiding him step by step forward, Yang Yi felt overwhelmed—not only with fear and caution but also with a sense of frustration, as if everything was under the other's control.

Yang Yi fell into prolonged contemplation, but in the end, he still couldn't figure anything out.

It was inevitable—he had too little information at hand. Aaron had revealed piece after piece to him, leading him to imagine extraterrestrial civilizations or advanced technologies, yet none of these developments explained how they related to the Grey-cloaked People. Yang Yi remained completely in the dark.

Perhaps this was the effect Aaron wanted, to spark Yang Yi's intense curiosity about the Grey-cloaked People without truly granting him the truth. Alternatively, Aaron might just be setting a trap for Yang Yi, leading him astray step by step. For a seasoned spy, achieving such an effect was hardly difficult.
