The person hasn't even emerged yet, and already there's a message?
Li Chonglou took out the sound transmission stone with some surprise.
It was vibrating at a specific frequency.
One kilometer to the southeast.
Trained as he was, Li Chonglou quickly understood the message from the village elder and hurried out of the cave.
Under the faint moonlight, all he could see were a couple of withered trees and a desolate landscape.
However, the black sand was gone.
Li Chonglou gauged his bearings and was about to move when the sound transmission stone in his hand suddenly vibrated again.
Another one?
One kilometer to the northwest.
From completely different directions, Li Chonglou paused.
He hadn't told the village elder his methods from the start.
To them, it didn't matter what method Li Chonglou used, as long as he could prevent those people from going to the forbidden area or drive them off the island.
But now, Li Chonglou suddenly noticed something.
How were these islanders determining people's locations?
Reporting specific distances from entirely different directions didn't seem like the result of human monitoring!
It was more like something similar to radar.
"Could it be another treasure I don't know about?"
Li Chonglou couldn't help but feel surprised.
He had only been on this Magnetic Thunder Island for less than a few hours and had already encountered two unheard-of treasures.
One was the petrifying rope, a name the village elder hadn't hidden.
The other was the sound transmission stone currently in his hand.
These two items seemed to have equivalents outside. Sound transmission stones had modern technology, and petrifying ropes had new weapons. But under specific conditions,
it was clear that treasures like these, without any limitations, were superior.
Moreover, he suddenly recalled a past plan.
"It seems I still have the raw materials for new weapons."
He had once considered using them to form a special unit for the company's security line, but subsequent events had put that on hold.
Thinking about it now, Li Chonglou suddenly became interested in the treasures on this Magnetic Thunder Island.
Being able to clearly know others' locations, especially under these specific environmental conditions, wasn't that even more amazing than radar?
It was a pity that the timing was wrong.
He had too little time to stay here.
Shaking his head, Li Chonglou cast aside his distractions, glanced up at the starry sky, and headed towards the southeast, the direction indicated by the village elder.
His solution was actually very simple.
If he could catch them, he would. If he could drive them away, he would. If not, there was nothing he could do.
He couldn't just kill people for no reason, could he? Well, perhaps it wasn't impossible if necessary.
However, at that moment, the sound transmission stone in his hand suddenly stirred again.
"Eight hundred meters?"
Are they heading towards me?
Li Chonglou stopped abruptly.
But the vibration in his hand hadn't ceased.
"Another one?"
After another ten seconds or so, the sound transmission stone transmitted more information from the village elder.
Three more.
And all of them were heading towards him!
This wasn't right!
Li Chonglou's expression suddenly turned grim.
At the same time, at the edge of Magnetic Thunder Island, a ship quietly docked.
On the ship's deck, a man in a black robe stood with his hands behind his back, while a man in black knelt behind him.
"Boss, as you instructed, the target's location has been posted on the dark net."
"Is the website locked down?"
"It's locked down. Only members who have accepted the mission can log in. Others cannot."
A cold sneer emanated from beneath the black robe.
"It's a waste not to take a little extra reward. Pass down the order: once the target is eliminated, commence island lockdown!"
"As you command!"
Meanwhile, in the main office of the General Bureau.
The white-haired man, after hearing his subordinate's report, was greatly alarmed.
"Someone updated Li Chonglou's location on the dark net?"
Seeing his subordinate nod, the white-haired man stood up abruptly, his face a mask of fury.
A terrifying aura suddenly appeared.
Everyone in the General Bureau involuntarily shivered.
This aura was so powerful it instinctively instilled fear!
Those who quickly recovered their senses turned ashen.
But then they became astonished.
This aura… wasn't it the boss?
Was someone attacking the boss?
While the cadres of the General Bureau were momentarily stunned, the ministers of the four branch bureaus appeared almost simultaneously above the General Bureau.
Yuan Zhongtian, Minister of the Executive Department; Gu Wen, Minister of the Administrative Department; Lei Guangzhi, Minister of Intelligence; and Chen Feixue, Minister of Supervision.
These four top experts, the strongest in the Shangjing General Bureau apart from the white-haired man, stood poised against the wind.
Their expressions were grave.
Their aura automatically enveloped a ten-kilometer radius, and their divine sense scanned every corner without missing a single spot!
However, after a long while, the four exchanged confused glances.
They hadn't detected any enemy intrusion.
Just then, the white-haired man's voice suddenly echoed in their ears.
"All cadres and personnel of the four departments, gather at the General Bureau in half an hour. Those outside will be contacted via video!"
The four men's expressions tightened, and they immediately guessed something.
Shangjing was not small, but for cultivators, especially those at the fifth level and above, with full speed, even traversing it wouldn't take half an hour.
Fifteen minutes later, all cadres who remained at the base from the four departments of the General Bureau had assembled.
Those who hadn't arrived were mostly connected via video.
Everyone understood that this was a simple and crude method to deal with internal traitors.
The four also knew this well and began reporting their situations.
"Boss, Han Zi, who was assigned the mission, is still reachable, but his superior, Executive Department Captain Zhou Ming, is not responding."
The white-haired man stood before the nearly full hall with a stern expression.
"Is he on a mission or staying at the base?"
Yuan Zhongtian, the Minister of the Executive Department, had a bead of sweat on his forehead. He lowered his head slightly and said gravely, "He was staying at the base."
A murderous intent flashed in the white-haired man's eyes.
"Issue a kill order!"
"Yes!"
"For other departments, anyone who cannot be contacted will receive a final notification. If there is no reply within twelve hours, a kill order will be issued for all of them!"
"Yes!"
Everyone present, including the four top combatants, tensed up and responded in unison.
This time, it seemed there would be a major purge!
And it appeared to have been triggered again by that young man named Li Chonglou.
Of course, that was a story for later.
On Magnetic Thunder Island, on the border of the jungle country, upon learning that more and more people were converging on his location, Li Chonglou knew he was being targeted again.
He stopped immediately, his mind racing.
Those who could know his location were, first and foremost, the villagers.
However, if they wanted to harm him, they could have done so in the cave, and there would have been no need to let people out and then cause trouble.
Not to mention they were still sending him information.
Apart from the islanders, the only other possibility to know his location was that moon ray!
Li Chonglou immediately took out a bottle from his waist.
