However, these rice grains were all black, like black rice.
Yet, it was easy to distinguish that they were not thoroughly black, so they must have been contaminated with the color.
Xu Hao picked up a grain of rice and slowly rubbed it, the outer layer instantly fell off, revealing the white interior. He said, "This incense burner hasn't been here for many days, so the rice grains haven't turned completely black. But if a few more days pass and all the rice turns black, things will get very troublesome."
Liu Ruyan asked, "What would happen then?"
Help us out by reading on *.
Xu Hao glanced around and said, "If the evil energy gathers too densely, anyone staying here for more than three hours would suddenly faint and never wake up!"
"This... Who would do such a thing, it's utterly inhumane! Our group has tens of thousands of employees!" Liu Ruyan was extremely shocked and became very furious.
Xu Hao said, "It must be done by someone who bears a grudge against us. However, to find the person, we need to use some methods. In Miaojiang, there's the Mother Child Gu. Actually, when looking for someone, a similar method can be used, although it can only locate a rough area."
Xu Hao pulled out a strand of hair from the incense burner and said, "Although we don't know if this is the person's hair, it's still a clue worth trying. Let's prepare and start tracking. If this was carelessly dropped by that person, it would be great."
In the spacious backyard of the Xu Liu Group building, Xu Hao held the hair in his left hand and a compass in his right, then activated his Qi Force and burned a tracking talisman he had learned from his heritage.
To the amazement of the women, the strand of hair actually started to float and slowly drift in one direction.
"Wow! This is too magical!" Anna said with a face full of surprise, "Brother, I now realize that the wonders of Huaya are indeed beyond our comprehension, to think that you can find someone with just a strand of hair!"
Xu Hao smiled and said, "Everything in the world is connected, let alone something that belongs to the person himself? Hair and skin are gifts from our parents, closely linked to the individual. With special measures, it can serve as a guide to find the person. I'll go meet them; you all go home and stay safe."
"Be careful, brother!" Anna stuck out her tongue and stood beside Liu Ruyan and Qin Yao.
With worried looks from the three of them, Xu Hao followed the strand of hair to seek out the perpetrator.
Inside a luxurious villa.
Two men dressed in strange attire were lying comfortably on the sofa, enjoying the massage services from two beautiful women behind them.
One of them said, "Old Four, the big city is the place to be. We've got good wine, beauties, and so much delicious food here, unlike back home where we are as poor as church mice."
The other person said, "Of course! The Sect initially sent only me, but thinking you hadn't been out to have fun, I called you along. How is it, Old Five? I treat you well, don't I?"
Old Five laughed, "Absolutely! We're brothers after all. But I have to say, after seeing so many beauties, I still think Liu Ruyan and Qin Yao are the most beautiful. Both are professional women, very capable. Liu Ruyan looks elegant and noble, while Qin Yao has the aura of a Goddess."
Old Four touched his slightly bald head and replied, "Definitely. In ancient times, Liu Ruyan would be the empress type, and Qin Yao the favored consort. Once we bring down Xu Liu Group and our mission is complete, I'll take Liu Ruyan, and you can have Qin Yao. How about that?"
"Of course!" Old Five hurriedly laughed, "And once we get bored with them, we can go out and find more beautiful girls. Whichever one we fancy, we just snatch and take back. Once we're back in the Sect, no one will be able to trace us."
"That's true. The rules of our Sect are strict—besides missions, we are not allowed to leave the Sect's territory. But even if we commit crimes outside, we have nothing to fear. We just go back and hide, and no one can find us."
Just then, Old Four's expression changed slightly.
Old Five quickly asked, "What's wrong, Old Four?"
Old Four sprang to his feet, flipping the woman behind him onto the ground without care and paced as he said, "I feel like my Qi is being led by someone."
"Led by someone? How is that possible? Who could lead your Qi? Unless someone is using something from your body to find you."
After exchanging a look, both Old Four and Old Five said at once, "The incense burner! Someone must have broken the Cooked Rice Incense Technique and is using it to find us!"
