How could an invisible, intangible entity, one that has no physical form, be easily dealt with? The incorporeal entity is recognized as one of the most troublesome categories of entities. I hope it’s not the Gaze, Uncle Zhou murmured, deep in thought.
Zhong Zhi stood on a muddy road in Hu Family Village, frowning as he stared at Zhang Yinlin. "What do you mean by that?"
"It’s nothing much, Captain Zhong," Zhang Yinlin replied. "I just feel it’s too quiet here. I want to take the children back and come another day to see the entity." She scanned the surroundings. "Don’t you think it’s overly quiet? There isn’t a single entity in sight, not even the faintest sound of animals."
Half a minute ago, she had received information from Uncle Zhou about Yelai's arrival. Without pausing to be surprised by how Yelai had gotten information from the Sixth Team, she immediately suggested leaving Hu Family Village to Zhong Zhi. After saying this, she insisted that Captain Zhao lead the way to take the children away, disregarding Zhong Zhi's response entirely.
Isn’t silence normal? Animals have an instinct to avoid danger; the absence of animals indicates that there is an entity nearby. It has always been this way since the Year of the Sequence.
Zhong Zhi blocked Zhang Yinlin's path as she tried to retreat. On the surface, he was advising her with explanations, but internally he was already frowning deeply. Zhang Yinlin's reaction was too strange; while it could be said that she was overly cautious, it was also suspicious that she had suddenly changed her mind shortly after entering Hu Family Village.
Had she discovered something? Zhong Zhi and several others from the Vice Captain's team exchanged glances, silently agreeing that it was unlikely. Now they had no choice but to act on Arrow String.
They had brought Zhang Yinlin and her group to Hu Family Village; if they let them leave now, it would be much harder to bring them back later. Indeed, animals have an instinct to avoid danger, and entities do as well, Captain Zhong.
Zhang Yinlin narrowed her eyes as she spoke about entities, elongating her words for emphasis. When entities encounter powerful entities, they also tend to evade; it’s possible that there are not just any entities here but powerful ones.
"I want to consider the children's safety, so there's no rush to see the Entity today, right, Captain Zhong?"
Zhong Zhi's heart skipped a beat. Zhang Yinlin's words were both a hint and a clear indication; he realized he had likely been exposed, and she was aware of the situation in Hu Family Village.
"What? Captain Zhong, are you planning to disregard the children's safety?" Zhang Yinlin asked in a low voice.
At her words, Zhong Zhi's gaze sharpened, and he finally spoke in a serious tone: "I never said I would ignore the children's safety. Once this opportunity is gone, it won't come back. I can't always be available to protect you while you observe the Entity. If we don't see it today, I fear the children might miss out."
He said this regardless of what Zhang Yinlin thought and turned to the children. "Kids, Teacher Zhang is going back. What do you say? Do you want to stay or go back?"
"Don't worry, with me, Zhong Zhi, I'll make sure you get home safely."
Rather than arguing with Zhang Yinlin, he preferred to persuade the children. As long as they wanted to stay, it wouldn't be easy for Zhang Yinlin to take them back.
It was well known that when children got restless, it was the most troublesome thing for adults.
"Teacher, can we stay and watch the Entity?"
As Zhong Zhi expected, the uninformed children showed curiosity about the Entity. After his speech, they hardly seemed inclined to go back.
Seeing this, Zhong Zhi smiled and decided to stoke the fire further. "Kids, with me..."
Before he could fully confront Zhang Yinlin and the others, he wasn't ready to completely reveal his intentions in front of the children. After all, if things escalated and he didn't manage to eliminate Zhang Yinlin then, allowing her to take the children back would mean he would have no standing in the Safe Zone due to their testimonies.
Just as he opened his mouth...
Suddenly, Zhong Zhi caught a glimpse of the alley next to Hu Family Village out of the corner of his eye.
