Chapter 863 – Weird Coastline

　　The woman thought for a moment, picked up a flyer off to the side, and drew a circle somewhere on it with a pen.

　　”Here.”

　　”Sunset Coastline?” Lin Qiye’s eyes swept over the description of this attraction, pondering.

　　”Right, we went to this attraction on the afternoon of the second day, and after they got off the bus to go on a tour, they never came back, and after we arrived at the scheduled time, the driver and I waited on the bus for an extra hour, after all, I was thinking that the location of this attraction was too remote, and that it would be hard for them to go back to the city if they didn’t take the bus.

　　But until it was dark, they still didn’t come back ……”

　　Speaking of this, the woman’s eyes surfaced a color of fear, “They …… won’t be out of something, right? Are you the police?”

　　”No, they went back safely, and since we’re all friends, I just casually asked to see what they played.” Lin Qiye lied.

　　”I have a few questions.”

　　Just then, An Qingyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, “You should be the tour guide for this travel agency, right? According to your description, you stayed on the bus when they got off at the Sunset Coastline, why didn’t you, the tour guide, follow them?”

　　”This is also what they asked for, they said they don’t need me to follow ……”

　　”Is it that every attraction doesn’t allow you to follow, or just this one?” An Qingyu’s eyes narrowed slightly as she asked the most crucial question.

　　”The vast majority of the attractions, I followed, with the exception of only a few attractions ……”

　　The woman recalled for a moment and circled a few more places on the flyer’s map with a pen, and An Qingyu’s eyebrows raised as she smiled and nodded.

　　”I got it, thanks.”

　　”Let’s not go to any other attractions, let’s go straight to the Sunset Coastline.” Lin Qiye spoke to the woman, then returned to the last seat of the bus with An Qingyu and the others.

　　”What did you find?”

　　As soon as he sat down, Lin Qiye asked curiously.

　　”The attractions that the [Mask] squad didn’t allow the tour guide to follow are all near the coastline.” An Qingyu replied.

　　Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, “You mean, the [Mask] squad themselves don’t know the exact mission locations, they only know that the general range is near the coastline?”

　　”Hmm.” An Qingyu nodded, “With the information we have available, we can already basically restore the content of that phone call……. That phone call was nothing more than to inform the [Mask] squad that something seemed to have happened near the coastline of Ningchang County, and that this matter wasn’t urgent, and that it was only a matter of hands to the [Mask] squad. It was just a matter of lifting their hands, so that they could stop by and take a look while they were on vacation.

　　With this kind of ‘care’ like tone, it will be possible to avoid the Night’s Watch’s cumbersome formal mission-issuing procedures without attracting any attention while leading the [Mask] squad to a certain place unsuspectingly.”

　　At the same time, Anqing Yu reached out her hand and pointed to the curtains that shaded the sun on both sides of the traveling bus.

　　”The [Mask] squad sits in this kind of vehicle, the surveillance on the road simply can’t capture their traces, Ningchang County’s infrastructure is a bit backward, the attractions are mostly natural scenic spots such as the mountains and the sea, and there is no existence of internal surveillance at all, so as long as they then shield their cell phone signals by technical means, it will be able to allow the [Mask] squad to do ‘ evaporate’.

　　Therefore, even if the Nightwatchman sent out a search team, trying to find [Mask] in a short period of time is something that is simply impossible.”

　　”Good thing, we have clues now.” Lin Qiye said, “As long as we lock onto the location where the [Mask] squad last appeared, it’s only a matter of time before we find them.”

　　The two were completely immersed in their own world, oblivious to the fact that the gazes of the rest of the squad were looking at them as if they were monsters.

　　”How did these two people’s brains grow?” Baili Chubby grinned, “Sitting with them, I feel like I’m just like an idiot myself ……”

　　”I agree.” Cao Yuan silently raised his hand in agreement.

　　”You don’t think you’re smart enough either?”

　　”No, I agree that you’re an idiot.”

　　”……”

　　By the time Lin Qiye and the others got off the tour bus, it was already dusk.

　　The dusky sunset spilled onto the tumbling waves, the waves surging like broken gold along the brown coast, the breeze brushed Lin Qiye’s cheeks as he gazed at the tourists laughing and joking along the coast for a few moments, and dropped his gaze to the distance.

　　”This attraction is still quite crowded.” After Shen Qingzhu got off the bus, he lit a cigarette for himself, the smoke dissipated quickly with the sea breeze, leaving no odor behind, “Where are we going next?”

　　”The location of the [Mask] squad’s mission should not be in this area of attraction, but somewhere in this neighborhood.” Anqing Yu pondered, “There are too many people in this attraction, if the [Mask] had really appeared here and done something, they would definitely have left traces behind.”

　　”It’s true that they didn’t stay here too much.” Lin Qiye turned his head to look at the end of the coastline in the distance, which was gradually hidden by the shadow of the setting sun and disappeared into the darkness, “They went straight there after strolling around here.”

　　”Let’s go, let’s go take a look as well.”

　　The several people followed the path of the [Mask] squad that day and kept moving forward, gradually moving away from the noisy crowd, everything around them slowly quieted down, the brown coastline cut by light and shadow was quiet with only the salsa sound of the waves lapping.

　　They walked for about an hour, the sky had completely disappeared into darkness, and a wisp of faint light appeared at the end of their vision.

　　Lin Qiye suddenly stopped in his tracks.

　　”What’s wrong?” Calan asked suspiciously.

　　”Strange ……” Lin Qiye raised the brim of his hat, and the crimson eye on his brow flickered with light, his brows furrowed, “[Eye of Peeping Mysteries] has failed? How is this possible?”

　　The crowd behind him froze.

　　”Black pupil, what’s going on?” Lin Qiye asked in his mind.

　　”I don’t know either, Dean.” Black pupil’s voice was transmitted to Lin Qiye’s mind from that red eye, “After I came here, I couldn’t see the past of this area …… It’s like the history of this place was erased, I’ve never seen this before.”

　　”What about the future?”

　　”The same, the future is also chaotic.” The black pupil was silent for a moment and reminded, “Dean, I think this place is not right ……”

　　”…… I know.”

　　Lin Qiye sighed.

　　”What happened?” An Qingyu asked suspiciously.

　　”There’s something odd about this place in front of us, the past and future are chaotic, and I can’t find any traces of the [Mask].” Lin Qiye raised his head, squinted his eyes and gazed at those lights in the distance and slowly spoke.

　　”It seems …… like we’re really looking in the right place.”
