Phantasmal Genesis - Chapter 49: Red dotted map
They didn’t have any proof confirming or denying what they were saying, and even after thorough inspections of their case files, they couldn’t find anything strange, therefore, these people were currently labelled as ‘Time Travellers’.
It didn’t take long for a nationwide investigation to be opened, and aside from the west city district police station, other time travellers were found in other stations in Tian Hai city.
There were over a hundred of them, and the management immediately started to do their jobs, moving all of the suspects into an emptied jail within a very short time.
At this moment, these people only appeared in Tian Hai city, and their only unique point was their strong bodies regardless of their gender.
As they didn’t know how many time travellers were hidden in the city, they basically placed trackers on every single physically fit person, and they were ready to pounce the moment something suspicious happened.
……
The entire Tian Hai city was on edge, and Meng Ke had achieved his goal. At the same time, he noticed something unusual.
Xiao Bi.
Aside from himself, this was the second person he knew to have special abilities.
And this served as proof for his initial suspicion, it wasn’t wrong for him to be careful, and in the billions of people living in this world, he was indeed not the only person with supernatural abilities.
Alongside that mysterious medicinal water, this was the second existence he knew of with supernatural abilities.
“I didn’t expect Tian Hai city to have a department specialising in abnormalities.”
Meng Ke was amazed.
This was something straight out of a novel, but their members didn’t seem to have any special abilities.
To test the truth, they even had to especially bring over an elementary student.
With the complexity of the information in Xuan Nv’s lie, even after all that, they weren’t able to see through it.
This meant that their department may not be as competent as he imagined.
Meng Ke thought for a bit.
He still wasn’t prepared to make any rash contact with them, and perhaps doing so would bring him some pleasant surprises, but it wasn’t the time for him to need to take such risks just yet.
Furthermore, if Meng Ke wanted to know how many supernatural powers were present in this world, he could find out for himself.
It’s important to note that his energy was growing every day, but he hasn’t discovered any more special skills, and he was focused on discovering new ways to use the skills he currently possessed.
Familiarising himself with his skills was another way to become stronger, and he wasn’t only getting stronger by expanding his skill lists.
Gathering his energy during this safe period to use when he needed wasn’t a bad idea, and it was always good to run with a full tank.
And once Meng Ke had decided, he immediately had Xuan Nv put together the settings. He didn’t have a single doubt about Xuan Nv’s comprehensiveness, and she was able to create a plan that was safer, more beneficial and faster compared to him.
This was the point that Meng Ke considered when he decided to create Xuan Nv.
It was easy to have blind spots in one person’s thinking, and Xuan Nv’s existence was paramount.
Not only did she remove the subtle threat of an uncontrollable subconsciousness, she also became a reliable subordinate that could help him expand his thinking.
Having her around wasn’t just comparable to having another person.
Instantly, a wave of energy rippled, half of it entering Meng Ke’s body and the other half disappearing into the air.
Meng Ke tried to sense the half that had disappeared, but it was completely untraceable.
From the moment that he first noticed this, he was already curious about where this energy went and what kind of effects did it have.
This felt dangerous to him, it seemed as though the energy that had disappeared didn’t just disappear, and it was silently changing this world.
Perhaps one day, he would be able to trace the whereabouts of this energy, and learn to control it.
But as of right now, he couldn’t do anything as he watched it disappear.
At this moment, Xuan Nv a bright screen appeared in front of Meng Ke.
“God, our energy is insufficient, we can only surveil this planet.”
Watching this world map on the screen before him, Meng Ke could feel that this surveillance ability had used at least half of his energy.
Of course, this was worth it.
On the screen, 24 red dots that represented supernatural powers were spread across the planet, there were four in the pacific ocean, ten in Asia, three in the Americas, one in Antarctica, two in Australia, and the remaining four……all of them flickered brightly on the map.
“There’s only twenty-four?” Meng Ke couldn’t help but ask, in his predictions, there were billions of people on this planet, and he had expected at least a few thousand!
Even if he included himself, there were only twenty-five……
“God, another one had appeared.”
And as Xuan Nv spoke, another red light had appeared in Xia country, this was a sight that reminded Meng Ke of a game, it had a map just like this, along with the same red dots.
But in that game, the red dots represented diseases, and the red dots here represented supernatural powers.
“Jiang Xi……”
The location of the red dot was enlarged, and it showed the location within Jiujiang, Jiangxi.
Meng Ke hadn’t been to Jiang Xi before, but he had heard that the city was the most forgettable one in the entirety of this country. It wasn’t a poor and backward city, but it wasn’t comparable to the bigger cities and was considered very ordinary.
Thankfully, public transport was convenient throughout the country, and it only took a day to get from Tian Hai to Jiang Xi.
After thinking for a bit, Meng Ke decided to set his sights on this newly appeared red dot.
Who asked this dot to appear just now?
If someone had just gotten supernatural powers, then Meng Ke could rush there within a day to reduce the danger as much as possible.
“Xuan Nv, use the remaining energy to optimise my spiritual powers.”
He was prepared to go himself, after all, he didn’t know what kind of supernatural power it would be.
And against the unknown, he had to put in his maximum effort.
Additionally, Meng Ke stared at the screen thoughtfully.
Of the ten red dots in Asia, five of them were gathered in Tian Hai city, two of the three red dots in America were together, and on the pacific ocean, one of the red dots was slowly making its way to America.
It was obvious that there were organisations aware of these supernatural powers, and they had already started gathering them.
Meng Ke wasn’t sure if they had an ability like his that could detect supernatural powers in the world, and he didn’t know if he was already under the surveillance of some people.
What he needed to do now was to gather as many of these supernatural powers as he could on his side, and lower the amount the others could gather at the same time while strengthening himself.
If the opponent was a country, then, his goal to gather all of the supernatural powers or the uncontrollable variables in his own hands would undoubtedly be a troublesome process.
Without thinking anymore, Meng Ke instructed Xuan Nv to check the flight schedules and decided to depart tomorrow morning.
