Chapter 513 The Mark of Tracking, Location
She walked to Shen Yiyi's side and said softly, "Let's go."
Shen Yiyi nodded.
But she couldn't help but look back at the deep pit.
"Sister Ye Yao..."
"Um?"
"Do you think... we can be like him someday?"
Ye Yao fell silent.
It took her a long time to speak.
"have no idea."
Shen Yiyi was stunned for a moment.
Ye Yao rarely says "I don't know".
She has always been goal-oriented, knowing what she wants and whether she can achieve it.
But this time, she said she didn't know.
Shen Yiyi didn't ask any more questions.
Because she understood—
Some gaps, when they become large enough, cannot be bridged by "effort".
After Lin Tian arrived, everyone else became mere background figures.
This time, it's the same.
Shen Yiyi suddenly felt a little sorry for Ye Yao.
But she didn't say anything.
He simply followed silently behind her and left together.
......
Sato stood still.
a long time.
Chishima Rin and Kobayashi Hikaru were getting a little impatient as they waited.
Then he turned and left.
Chishima Rin and Kobayashi Hikaru followed.
No one speaks.
But Chishima Rin knew—
The president's hands were trembling.
Was it fear? No.
That was excitement.
That's the body's instinctive reaction when a person sees a goal worth pursuing.
The president was the same during the first overlapping period.
He didn't say a word after he came back, and practiced his knife skills all night.
This time, I'll probably have to practice all night again.
"President," Chishima Rin suddenly spoke.
Sato did not turn around.
"That person...can we really catch up with them?"
Sato paused for a moment.
Then he continued walking forward.
But his voice drifted over.
Even if we can't catch up, we still have to keep chasing.
Chishima Rin was stunned.
Even if you can't catch up, you still have to keep chasing?
As she watched Sato's retreating figure, she suddenly understood something.
The president doesn't want to "catch up".
What he wants is the process of "pursuing".
......
On the battlefield, the crowd began to disperse.
Some people were cursing and swearing.
Some people were sighing.
Some people are still discussing that kick.
But most people simply remained silent.
Because they know—
Today, they saw the gap again.
I saw what true number one really means.
The person standing on the boss's head is from a different world than them.
During the first overlap, what they saw were rumors.
During the second overlapping period, what they saw was reality.
What about the third time?
Someone looked up at the sky.
The sky was pitch black, and there was nothing there.
But that person is somewhere in the darkness.
"Let's go." Someone patted their companion on the shoulder. "Stop looking, you won't see it anymore."
His companion sighed, "I just want to know when he'll come next time."
"Next time? Next time will be during the overlap period."
"How much longer do we have to wait?"
"I don't know. Let's just wait and see."
The two left side by side.
Behind them, all that remained was a scene of devastation and the enormous crater.
......
In the distance, a figure had already disappeared into the clouds.
Lin Tian stood on a cloud, looking down at the battlefield below.
His expression remained calm.
Just now, I did something insignificant.
He opened the system panel and glanced at the kill rewards.
"Level 60... that's about it."
He closed the panel and continued flying forward.
More bosses await him ahead.
......
The Dark Ravens' temporary base.
Sato sat on a rock with his eyes closed.
Chishima Rin stood to the side without saying a word.
Yamamoto Tatsuno has already been sent away—it's not appropriate for him to be here at a time like this.
A long time passed.
Sato opened his eyes.
"Kobayashi Hikaru."
Hikaru Kobayashi emerged from the shadows and adjusted his glasses.
"President."
"Did you succeed?"
Kobayashi Hikaru's lips curled up slightly.
That was the first time he smiled that day.
He opened his palm.
In the palm of his hand, a rune the size of a fingernail was shimmering with a faint light.
"A-grade positioning item—[Tracking Mark]." His voice was soft. "I threw it out the instant he appeared."
Sato looked at him.
"Did he find out?"
"No," Kobayashi Hikaru shook his head. "At that moment, everyone's attention was drawn to him. Nobody noticed my little action."
Sato remained silent.
Chishima Rin's expression changed.
She finally understood—from the very beginning, Sato had never intended to just "take a look".
They had been waiting for this opportunity from the very beginning.
Waiting for that person to appear.
At that moment, everyone's attention was drawn.
Then--
Leave a mark.
They didn't have time during the first overlap period.
That person came too fast and left too fast.
This time, they were ready.
"President..." She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.
Sato looked at her.
"What are you trying to say?"
Chishima Rin gritted her teeth.
"That person... is too strong. We saw it the first time, and we saw it again this time. We..."
"I know."
Sato interrupted her.
His voice was calm.
It was as calm as if it were saying, "The weather is nice today."
"so what?"
Chishima Rin was stunned.
Sato stood up.
His hand rested on the hilt of the knife.
"Do you know why I've survived until now?"
Chishima Rin shook her head.
"Because I never seek out opponents I can defeat." Sato looked into the distance, in the direction Lin Tian had disappeared. "I only seek out opponents I can't defeat."
He turned around and looked at Kobayashi Hikaru.
"How long can the location be located?"
"Three days," Kobayashi Hikaru said. "Within three days, as long as we're on the same map, I can find his location."
Sato nodded.
That's enough.
Take advantage of the fact that the overlapping period hasn't ended yet.
He strode forward.
Chishima Rin instinctively followed.
"President, are we really going...?"
Sato did not turn around.
But his voice drifted over.
Are you scared?
Chishima Rin was taken aback.
Then, she gripped the katana tightly.
"I'm not afraid."
Sato's lips curled up slightly.
That was the first time Chishima Rin had seen him smile that day.
"Then let's follow!!"
He continued walking forward.
Ahead lay only darkness.
But he knew that person was somewhere in the darkness.
The first time, he could only watch.
The second time, he left his mark.
What about the third time?
he does not know.
But he wanted to know.
He absolutely needs to know.
......
Below the cliff.
Lin Tian sat cross-legged on the bluestone.
This is a naturally formed bluish-gray boulder with a smooth, flat surface polished by wind and rain, and it feels cool and comfortable to sit on.
The cliff blocked most of the night wind, with only a few wisps occasionally letting in and ruffling his clothes.
Celia squatted beside him, her alluring eyes idly surveying the surrounding darkness.
