Chapter 460: Clues Hidden in the Photo, a Strange Feeling

Xu Ye opened the file bag and took out several photos from it.

The photos were taken by the assistants in Xincheng on the spot, searching along the movement tracks of Yun Mi and Tang Xiaowan all the way. There are more than 30 photos in total.

The first few photos came from the surveillance of Xincheng, which clearly showed Yun Mi taking Tang Xiaowan away from Xincheng by car, heading directly for a mountain range outside the city.

Following the surveillance and the direction inferred by the technical department, the assistants searched along the road and accurately found the mountain range where the two of them went.

The axle marks along the way, the off-road vehicle parked at the foot of the mountain, the footprints into the mountain...

Each photo is extremely detailed, until entering the cave.

"If I remember correctly, Teacher Yun Mi invited Tang Xiaowan to enter this Cuifeng Mountain this time, it should be to mine the brilliant silver crystal in the cave." Lian Shou said on the side.

"Brilliant silver crystal?" Xu Ye repeated the name while flipping through the photos.

He had never heard of this substance.

"After the disaster day, some small and medium-sized virtual realms will gradually dissipate because they cannot maintain energy." Lian Shou explained.

"As they dissipate, some virtual materials will merge with real materials and remain in reality."

"Brilliant Silver Crystal is one of them."

"Teacher Yun Mi is a member of the technical department. In a recent study, this material is urgently needed."

"But the mining of brilliant silver crystal requires a special mining tool. Because of the special material, that tool cannot be included in the Xumi Ring."

"So the reason why she found Tang Xiaowan should be because she saw her ability [Power of Creation]." Xu Ye immediately guessed the reason why Yun Mi was looking for Tang Xiaowan.

This is consistent with the reason she told him on the phone at that time.

Continue to look through the photos in his hand.

Yun Mi and Tang Xiaowan's footprints went all the way to the depths of the mountains. There were obvious footprints on the ground of the cave, but at a turn, the pace of the two people's progress was disrupted.

Xu Ye's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the photo in his hand, "They encountered the virtual demon here."

"Yes, the conclusion of the technical department is the same." Lian Shou responded beside him.

"But there are no fluctuations in the virtual realm nearby, and there are no messy footprints nearby." Xu Ye continued to analyze, "This also means that the virtual demon that appeared here already knew that Teacher Yun Mi and Tang Xiaowan would appear here."

Lian Shou's eyes flashed. As expected, Xu Ye's analytical ability was much stronger than that of ordinary people. He could read so much information from just one photo.

Xu Ye continued to look at the photos of the scene. Countless photos were reflected in his mind. Combining with each other, he seemed to restore everything that happened at that time.

"There are traces of someone falling on the ground. Judging from the size of the body, it should be Teacher Yun Mi."

"There are no traces of fighting at the scene, which means that she was knocked down in just one encounter."

"There is a bullet mark on the wall. It was Tang Xiaowan who was counterattacking."

"But her attack was quickly interrupted and she was subdued in an instant."

"From this, it can be seen that the strength of the virtual demon is very strong, at least stronger than most mountain realms, and it is even possible that he has entered the peak realm."

"His target... should not be Teacher Yun Mi, but Tang Xiaowan!"

Xu Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, and a conclusion emerged in his mind.

At the same time, he looked at the last photo of the scene, his eyes gleaming with brilliance: "I think... Tang Xiaowan and Teacher Yun Mi may still have a chance to survive."

"Oh?" Lian Shou looked over quickly, "How did you come to this conclusion?"

"Where Teacher Yun Mi fell, there were traces of fingers moving." Xu Ye pointed to the photo in his hand, "This shows that she did not die from the attack of the virtual demon, but she still had a breath of life after falling to the ground."

"Maybe the virtual demon made a mistake?" Lian Shou questioned.

"No, there was no fighting and blood at the scene, but Teacher Yun Mi was knocked down by one blow." Xu Ye quickly retorted, "This means that the strength of the virtual demon is far stronger than her."

"If the virtual demon really wanted to take Teacher Yun Mi's life, it would be easy, but he didn't do it."

"It means that his original purpose was not to kill people."

"If it's really like what you said, then where were Yun Mi and Tang Xiaowan taken?" Lian Shou continued to ask.

"I don't know." Xu Ye shook his head, frowning.

Judging from the traces at the scene, Teacher Yun Mi was obviously not the other party's target, but she was still taken away and disappeared.

There is another possibility, that is, the virtual demon did not kill them because he needed to use their bodies.

It's a pity that with the information he currently has, it is still difficult to infer what happened specifically.

"But there is one thing, I am very curious." He suddenly pointed to the photo again, "How did the virtual demon take them away?"

"There is no trace of leaving at the scene."

"The final location of their positioning devices is still in the cave."

"This means that the virtual demon used some means to block their positioning devices."

"If... there are no traces of the virtual realm opening near the entire mountain range, how can two people be transported out of the cave at the same time?"

Lian Shou slowly followed Xu Ye's thoughts and murmured: "Unless... he used something that can teleport out of the cave... or... Juebao?"

He and Xu Ye looked at each other, and an answer was about to come out: "Purple influence transfer!"

Juebao Sequence 207 [Purple Influence Transfer], consists of two teleportation gems, the mother gem and the daughter gem.

Within 20 kilometers, the user can teleport himself and everything around him to the mother gem by crushing the mother gem.

Lian Shou took out his mobile phone without hesitation and made a call: "Let the assistants in Xincheng immediately search within a 20-kilometer range with the mountain as the center!"

"Once you find the fluctuation of the virtual realm or the remnant of energy fluctuation, report to me immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Xu Ye with a burning gaze: "If it is true as you said, the two of them are not in danger of life."

"No matter what the price, I will bring them back!"

Xu Ye nodded slightly, but lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Is there any connection between the virtual demon that appeared in Xincheng and the virtual beast that attacked Longxia College before?

An inexplicable sense of strangeness surged into his heart, and there were a few points that made it difficult for him to figure out.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere, making a slight sound, and landed beside the two.

The two were very familiar with the person, Xu Ye's classmate, Yang Dete.

"Instructor Lian Shou, you are here!" Yang Dete said hurriedly after he appeared, and he didn't even have time to greet Xu Ye.

"Regarding the virtual beast you just killed, the technical department has already investigated its origin and results."

"In addition, there is another very important thing that the board of directors asked me to convey to you!!"
