The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 836 See Him Within an Hour
Vanessa opened her small mouth in surprise, her sexy lips slightly pouting.
“Kidding you?”
Chen Xiao frowned slightly. “I'm not familiar enough with you to joke around. Well, digest this information. As for whether or not to spread it, that’s up to you.”
In reality, even if such things are spread, few will believe them.
After all, NASA says every year that an asteroid is about to hit Blue Star, but so many years have passed, and it hasn't happened.
Humans’ perception of danger is often less sensitive than that of animals. Unless disaster is already looming, they will not easily panic.
“Now, let's get to dealing with that Celestial. Where is he now?”
Chen Xiao moved on to the next topic, asking straight to the point.
Vanessa and the others were stunned, their expressions complex and slightly embarrassed.
“What? You haven't found his whereabouts yet? What kind of meeting have you been having here?”
Seeing their expressions, Chen Xiao began to mock them.
“Chen, you don't know the Celestial’s abilities. He comes and goes without a trace, moving extremely fast. Current technology can't pinpoint his location, and even our team's eagle-eyed member with the best vision can't catch his movements when he wants to leave.”
“This is the first time, and the last.”
Chen Xiao suddenly said, “I don't want incompetent soldiers under my command. Do you know what incompetence is? Incompetence is when someone can't solve a problem and makes a bunch of excuses for themselves!”
Chen Xiao deeply understood the way of PUA (pickup artist), which was to do everything possible to suppress the arrogance of this group of extraordinary ability users.
This way, he could establish prestige in their minds as quickly as possible.
Of course, there was a prerequisite for doing so, which was to have super strong strength as a guarantee.
Otherwise, it would backfire and cause these unruly extraordinary ability users to question and resent him.
“Chen, if you can locate the Celestial within a day, we'll admit our incompetence!”
Vincent said unconvinced.
“Hmph, a day?”
Chen Xiao snorted coldly. “Too long. At most an hour. I want to see the Celestial!”
“What? An hour? Chen, don’t be too sure… We've been working for forty-eight hours straight to locate the Celestial, but we're still clueless. So, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but seeing the Celestial in an hour is absolutely impossible!”
Even Vanessa, who was the first to submit to Chen Xiao, began to feel that she had misjudged him.
This man from the East did have some strength, but he was being too arrogant.
Extraordinary ability users all had their own pride.
“Then tell me, what kind of work have you done?”
Chen Xiao asked in a deep voice.
“In the past few days, he appeared in several small towns in the United States. We collected data, hoping to find some patterns, but the fact is, his pattern is that there is no pattern,”
Vincent said, spreading his hands.
“It's not entirely without pattern. Every time he appears, he slaughters the entire population of the town and then disappears. He reappears every three days, and it has been two days since his last appearance, which means he will appear again in one day. However, where he will appear is unknown,”
Vanessa added.
At this moment, Chen Xiao noticed that there was a huge touchscreen on the conference room table.
The screen showed several maps, marking the locations where the Celestial had appeared, as well as the times of his appearances.
“It seems you're not completely useless.”
Chen Xiao said faintly, staring at the maps.
The leaders of the several extraordinary ability users looked at each other, unable to tell whether Chen was praising them or mocking them.
That was right, it showed that Chen Xiao's PUA was beginning to take effect.
Chen Xiao then manipulated the touchscreen, zooming out the entire map to encompass the entire United States, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Could it be…?
Chen Xiao's brain was running at full speed. After two minutes, he snapped his fingers: "I see, I understand!"
“Chen, what do you understand?”
Vanessa asked, puzzled.
“I already know where the Celestial will appear next. Let's go now,”
Chen Xiao said.
“What? Chen, this, are you sure… Where will he appear?”
Vanessa asked incoherently.
“Right here.”
Chen Xiao pointed to a town called 'Constance' on the map.
“Constance in Iken City? Chen, what is your basis?”
Boulder asked with a serious face.
Although he was a muscle man, he wasn't the kind of muscle man whose brain was also full of muscles.
In fact, he also had more than a dozen doctoral degrees and was a veritable genius and academic.
“I need to see the Celestial within an hour. I don't have time to explain this to you.”
Chen Xiao gave the other party a cold look.
“Uh, well, okay… But, Chen, even if we take the fastest aircraft, it will take more than half an hour to get to Constance. You don't expect to find the Celestial as soon as we get there, do you? Or do you know the Celestial is waiting for you there?”
Boulder said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a writing brush, a very large writing brush, in Chen’s hand.
“You three, hold hands!”
Chen Xiao ordered.
The three of them didn't know why, but they did as they were told.
Then, Chen Xiao grabbed Vanessa's soft little hand and moved his brush like a dragon across the ground.
Then, accompanied by a flash of light, the three found themselves on a clean and bright street.
“This, this is Constance?”
Looking at the huge sign on the side of the road, Vanessa exclaimed in disbelief.
Constance was just a small town with a permanent population of no more than 10,000.
The streets were sparsely populated, and no one noticed the four people who suddenly appeared out of thin air.
“Hehe, just as I guessed!”
Chen Xiao sneered and strode away.
“Chen, where are we going?”
Vanessa asked hurriedly.
“Don't ask so much, just follow me!”
It wasn't that Chen Xiao didn't want to tell them where they were going, it was just that he didn't know exactly where it was.
All he knew was that the Celestial was there!
But after walking quickly for a while, as the distance closed, Chen Xiao knew.
The place where the Celestial was now was a school!
He could feel the other party's powerful aura, extremely distinct!
