Chapter 665: Sister Xi, What Should We Do?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the screen Xue Xi pointed at, Liu Xiu walked to the staircase and casually supported himself against the wall before continuing downstairs.
The document in his arms did not disappear at all.
Zheng Zhi mocked, “We’ve seen that. There were no changes to his document bag. It’s impossible for him to have passed something there. Moreover, there’s no one around that area. I really thought you’d found something. I didn’t expect it to be a false alarm...”
Xue Xi clenched her jaw and sighed. She pointed at another screen. “This is the other side of the wall.”
The other side of the wall?
On the other side of the wall was Xue Xi’s laboratory. There were many people, so the two of them did not notice it. However, Xue Xi pointed at one of them and said, “Look at him.”
Upon hearing her words, Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi took a closer look and realized that the person was holding a document in his hands. He quickly put it in his bag and continued walking.
This person was wearing the white jacket that everyone had to wear in Xue Xi’s laboratory. He did not avoid the camera at all. It was actually Li Man!
As soon as they saw this face, Zheng Zhi and Jing Fei quickly went to capture Li Man.
In order to not be seen by everyone, the two of them brought Li Man to Xue Xi’s office. They closed the door and curtains, blocking the view outside.
Li Man was stunned after getting caught. “What are you guys doing? What’s wrong?”
Seeing Xue Xi, he shouted, “Sister Xi, help!”
Xue Xi: “...”
Before she could speak, Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi had already searched his entire body and realized that there were no documents.
Li Man clutched his chest and clothes like a bullied little wife. “What exactly are you guys doing? Wuwuwu, my innocence!”
Xue Xi: “...”
Just as Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi were about to continue searching, Xue Xi finally said, “It’s not him.”
Jing Fei immediately stopped, but Zheng Zhi did not let go of Li Man.
Li Man was even more baffled. “Sister Xi, what exactly happened? Why’s this happening to me? Also, the alarm outside sounded. Did something happen? Everyone is panicking now!”
Zheng Zhi sneered. “Stop pretending! We already know your true colors. Tell us, are you from Country M?!”
Li Man: “?”
Xue Xi: “...He’s not.”
After saying that, she looked at Jing Fei. “Let him out.”
Jing Fei ignored Zheng Zhi, picked up Li Man, and threw him out the door.
Zheng Zhi panicked. “What if he’s a spy? It’s too much for you to let him go like this!”
Xue Xi was still very calm as she said indifferently, “I told you, it’s not him.”
Zheng Zhi was furious. “Who was that, then?”
Xue Xi pointed at the CCTV. “Look here.”
The two of them looked at the computer again and saw that in the CCTV footage on the screen, Li Man had taken off his clothes and left. The CCTV here could no longer capture him, so they switched to another one.
Following the location, their gazes landed on another window.
However, the person who appeared at the window was a girl. It was not Li Man at all!
Zheng Zhi was stunned. “Can Li Man turn invisible? Otherwise, why can’t the cameras capture him?”
Jing Fei said, “No, we’d specifically added infrared scanning on the camera. As long as there’s heat, it can show the scene!”
Zheng Zhi: “But, what’s going on? Where is he?”
The two instinctively turned to look at Xue Xi and saw her pointing at the girl. “It’s her.”
Zheng Zhi: “Xiao Na?”
The girl was also working at the laboratory, so Zheng Zhi knew her.
Xue Xi continued shaking her head. “No.”
She then pointed at the camera feed beside her. “Xiao Na is here.”
At the same time, two Xiao Nas appeared on the same surveillance footage.
Zheng Zhi and Jing Fei were stunned.
The two of them looked at each other. In the end, Zheng Zhi returned to his senses. “This person’s special ability is... face-changing!”
Jing Fei suddenly understood. “No wonder! They were Li Man at first and now that person is Xiao Na. But if that person can change appearances so frequently, how can we catch them?”
There were tens of thousands of people at Huaxia University. If the other party frequently changed their body and face, how could they quickly lock onto the target?
However, the longer it took, the higher the chances of the information being stolen!
These people were espers and had many different kinds of abilities. One could not imagine how the other party would leave.
This was the kind of crime an esper could commit.
Indeed, it was a hundred times easier for them than for an ordinary person. It was also easier for them to escape!
Zheng Zhi clenched his fists. “The only way now is to seal the school! People are only allowed to enter and not leave!”
However, Jing Fei shook his head. “This method is too stupid. Many university students intern outside and do things outside. They might not necessarily be in the school. If we call on the entire school to look for this person, they can change their figure at any time and place, making it impossible for us to guard against them. It will be even more difficult! Moreover, it is not suitable for everyone to know about this matter involving an esper. Hence, the laboratory building that we have temporarily put under lockdown needs to be released. If this drags on, it will cause panic among the students.”
In order to capture someone, the laboratory building had been sealed the moment the alarm sounded.
However, this laboratory building was too big. There were thousands of people inside!
Right now, the outside was in a mess. Someone said that there was a fire and everyone was so frightened that they rushed to the window. If they did not let anyone go out, it would probably cause an even bigger accident.
Moreover, it was too dangerous to let espers and ordinary people stay together. They had to let them go.
What should they do now?
Jing Fei looked at Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, what should we do?”
Xue Xi raised her eyebrows and replied, “Simple.”
Zheng Zhi instinctively retorted, “Simple? How is that possible?! Don’t boast here!”
“...”
