Li Jiaxin understood immediately and promptly retreated, making a hasty escape.
On the other side, Bai Ye had done all he could. Whether Li Jiaxin and Hamir could get away was no longer his concern. Transforming into a current of electricity, Bai Ye vanished.
About fifteen minutes later, Bai Ye appeared on the rooftop of a hotel.
He went downstairs and arrived at the door of a presidential suite.
Presidential suites were for the rich and distinguished, so they usually wouldn't have guests. Electronic doors were no challenge for Bai Ye; a spark of electricity from his fingertip and the door opened automatically.
Bai Ye entered, closed the door, and sank into the sofa.
Now, he just had to wait.
The plan should theoretically have succeeded, but whether it actually had was unknown.
It depended, on one hand, on whether Li Jiaxin and Hamir could escape, and on the other, whether Situ Chicheng had any other means of tracking them besides the damaged Sky Eye Radar Tactical Vehicle.
And besides Situ Chicheng's situation, Bai Ye was also waiting for…
Li Jiaxin!
"I've kept my promise," Bai Ye murmured. "I hope you will too!"
As he thought, Bai Ye casually threw out two Beast Taming Balls, assigning Goodra and Gengar to stand guard for him. He then closed his eyes and drifted into a half-awake state.
The continuous battles had indeed been exhausting. Those guys under Situ Chicheng were certainly not easy to deal with.
When he woke up, it was already deep into the night. Bai Ye rubbed his eyes, casually turned on the television, and then opened the refrigerator to look for something to eat.
As expected of a presidential suite, the refrigerator was fully stocked. Bai Ye casually took out a piece of instant ham and a bottle of beer, then returned to the sofa.
On the television screen, despite the late hour, the news was still lively, primarily reporting on the destruction and casualties caused by the group.
Furthermore, the three highest organizations of hunters—the Hunter's Alliance, the Hunter's Committee, and the Hunter's Supervisory Council—had jointly announced that hunters would pursue the criminals with all their might.
However, Bai Ye felt that such pronouncements were just for show.
Situ Chicheng had been chasing Hamir all night, but where were the hunters?
When Bai Ye and the other two had first engaged Situ Chicheng, the fight had been so fierce that shops along the riverbank were utterly ruined. Had the hunters appeared then?
The combat level had already surpassed what the hunters could handle.
Even their greatest reliance, technological weapons, had been outmatched by the technological weaponry wielded by the two Iron Blood Warriors.
The hunters wouldn't dare to get involved in such battles.
Bai Ye wasn't watching the news to hear the hunters brag. He was primarily interested in seeing if there were any follow-up reports.
The good news was that there weren't any, which meant Li Jiaxin and Hamir should have escaped successfully.
Moreover, it had been over ten hours, and there had been no new developments from Situ Chicheng's side. This indicated that, apart from the Sky Eye Radar Tactical Vehicle, Situ Chicheng likely had no other means of tracking them.
So, the problem now was Li Jiaxin.
Bai Ye walked to the window, opened a gap, and looked out at the night.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning illuminated the surroundings in the pitch-black night sky.
About five minutes later, Bai Ye's Den Den Mushi rang.
Li Jiaxin's voice, laced with irritation, came through: "What do you want?"
Bai Ye said, "I've always believed that a person should have integrity. Only by doing what one says can they be considered a person."
Li Jiaxin replied, "The matter isn't over yet. There's still more than a day left before the wish mission ends."
Bai Ye said, "The Sky Eye Radar Tactical Vehicle has been destroyed, and it's been over ten hours with no action from Situ Chicheng. This means they're basically unable to act. However, do you believe I can make them find you?"
"Just say it, why cause trouble for everyone?" Li Jiaxin sighed. "What do you think the World Battlefield is?"
Bai Ye replied, "A damned, broken place."
"I didn't ask for your opinion," Li Jiaxin said helplessly. "Never mind. Let's put it this way: everyone believes the World Battlefield was created by unknown gods. There are many rumors about this, you must have heard them, right?"
"Mhm!" Bai Ye replied. "The most widespread rumor is that the gods were too bored and created it for entertainment."
"Heh heh..." Li Jiaxin gave a fake laugh, clearly disagreeing with this notion. He continued, "Are the divine servants people who act on behalf of the gods?"
Bai Ye asked, "Aren't they? You said so yourself earlier."
"I did," Li Jiaxin said. "But this leads to the first question: if the World Battlefield was built by gods, would they still need divine servants to do things for them? Everything within the World Battlefield belongs to the gods. What can't they get? In fact, everything we possess is granted by the gods, isn't it?"
Bai Ye frowned. "So, you're trying to say the World Battlefield wasn't built by gods?"
"You can guess slowly," Li Jiaxin said. "However, based on my previous question, a second question arises: if the gods truly need someone to do things for them in the World Battlefield, are they the controllers of everything, or participants?"
Bai Ye said, "Then isn't there a third question: why don't the gods intervene directly?"
"Wow, that's a good question," Li Jiaxin laughed. "Why do they need divine servants?"
Bai Ye said, "Are you playing a 'nested doll' game with me? Such deductive reasoning is hard to answer, and one question gives rise to another."
"Perhaps," Li Jiaxin shrugged. "Actually, I think I've revealed quite enough. Dare you say these two questions have offered you no inspiration at all?"
Bai Ye said, "You promised you would tell me what you know."
Li Jiaxin replied, "I said I would tell you, but I didn't say how much I would tell you."
Bai Ye sneered, "Are you playing word games with me?"
"Think what you will. Even if you threaten me with more lightning, it's useless. I've said what I can. At worst, we part ways. Do you think those divine servants won't find you? Time is really tight now. If everyone exposes themselves, they might not have time to bother with me and Hamir."
Bai Ye said, "A reminder, the wish mission is not over yet. Do you know who my target is?"
"Alright, alright," Li Jiaxin sighed. "Given that you're being hunted by divine servants, and with your strength you'll eventually stumble upon these matters, I'll give you one more small hint."
Bai Ye asked curiously, "Hmm?"
Li Jiaxin said, "Penglai, Fanghu, Yingzhou. Any of these three places will do. If you have the chance, go and see for yourself. I believe after seeing them, you'll understand many things."
