In the afternoon, Zhang Xiaoman and Brother Hero tried a variety of different methods, but they still had no results.
During that time, Brother Hero even forced and hypnotized himself into having some malicious thoughts, but he still couldn’t trigger the so-called anti-tracking effect.
"Phew~ Brother Man, how come it’s still no use after we’ve tried so many times back and forth? Are you sure you really have that ability to counteract tracking?"
Zhang Xiaoman first looked at his ring, then nodded definitively.
"There should be no mistake about it, to tell you the truth, it’s precisely because I knew I had this ability that I’ve been daring to make appearances in public these past few days... If this ability were a fake, I should have been discovered a long time ago."
Brother Hero looked at him and said gloomily:
"Then why isn’t it working no matter how long we try? I was even thinking about capturing you and dragging you to the government after finding you, and I can still keep calling you. Could it be that my hypnosis isn’t deep enough? Or is it because my subconscious knows it’s impossible, so it won’t work?"
Zhang Xiaoman also furrowed his brows, his fingers absentmindedly touching the teacup in front of him, which contained the tea leaves Mr. Ye had given him.
"According to my initial thought, if an ordinary test could pass, then it’s very likely that it uses people’s malice towards me to lock on, but you’ve tried just now, and the result is you can still track me..."
He picked up the cup, tenderly sipped the emerald tea, and continued:
"As for the hypnosis not being deep enough, I think there might be a possibility, but if that’s the case, it’s really difficult for just the two of us to test out. After all, subconsciousness is something far too hard to grasp... Huh? Wait a minute..."
He suddenly looked up, his eyes fixed on Brother Hero and he put the cup down unconsciously.
"Subconscious... subconscious... Could the problem lie there..."
"Er, Xiao Man, what are you mumbling about?" Brother Hero was confused by his actions.
However, Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes grew brighter, as if he was about to reveal the true answer to the problem at any moment.
"Brother Hero, I’ve got it!" Finally, he slapped the coffee table and excitedly said, "You’re right about the subconscious! It’s just not your subconscious, it’s mine!"
"What? What’s mine is yours?"
Brother Hero was utterly bewildered.
"Hahaha, Brother Hero, it’s all thanks to your reminder."
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly slapped his shoulder and continued: "Actually, we were thinking about it all wrong initially. The mechanism of my ability isn’t just aimed at malice!"
Seeing his puzzled expression, he didn’t keep him in suspense but explained:
"If it was simply to block tracking against malice, that would actually be quite one-sided. Because we cannot guarantee that those who want to investigate me start with malicious intentions. What if they don’t harbor any malice? Wouldn’t I have been found long ago?"
"So, here’s the key issue. It isn’t that your subconscious feels you have no malice, so you can find me, but rather the opposite, my subconscious feels you have no malice, so you can find me!"
Zhang Xiaoman paused, then added:
"No, I shouldn’t use the word malice, a more precise term should be used. It’s ’the intent you hold is acceptable to my subconscious’, then you can find me."
"That so-called intent is not for you to decide, but for me to decide."
As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily looked at the ring in his hand, feeling that this thing was really amazing, worthy to be an Ultimate Item.
If this were truly the rule, then in the future, when hunting Alien Species, he could spare many worries.
With that thought, he had Brother Hero go to the next room and they started the test again.
Suddenly, Brother Hero’s voice came from the room.
"Damn, Brother Man! All the info about you in my phone is corrupted, oh no, it auto-formatted! Stop it!"
From the other room, a series of "thump thump thump" footsteps were heard as Brother Hero ran out.
"Xiao Man, your ability is real, it just deleted all the contacts information about you from my phone, and when I thought of using recovery software to retrieve it, it even auto-formatted my phone... I feel if I keep going, it might just explode next."
Zhang Xiaoman smiled and nodded. He was somewhat surprised too; he hadn’t expected the Shadow Lord’s anti-tracking method to be so drastic, no wonder Master Liu had told him before about having that dangerous feeling.
It seemed that this Skill was similar to the Eternal Veil, a sort of causality Skill, a Law type effect that’s simply beyond reason.
Indeed, an Ultimate Item is an Ultimate Item, even a mere ring that came with it had such a Ni Tian Ability.
"Xiao Man, Brother Man! I didn’t understand most of what you told me before, but now I get it, turns out you’re not just blocking tracking, you’re playing invisible!"
