The Expelling Spell, although effective when used, allowing ordinary people to be unable to notice one’s presence, has certain downsides.
That is, it cannot fool computers.
If someone were to use surveillance or other devices for observation, they might detect something out of the ordinary.
However, to counter this downside, the Star Alliance also has its own methods.
They use the information infiltration technology of the Canglan Department in conjunction with the use of the Expelling Spell, achieving an effect akin to invisibility.
Beelu tore open the scroll, and immediately his body was enveloped with a peculiar Dark Energy.
When he was still an ordinary person, he would not have been able to sense this change, only feeling a churning in his heart, unclear whether the ability had taken effect.
But now it was different.
Beelu had also awakened his ability, able to feel the fluctuations of Dark Energy. Although his talent was not exceptional, he could still perceive the changes in himself.
He thought to himself with joy and hurriedly opened the door to step out.
Outside, two staff members living in the nearby dormitory walked toward him, talking to each other, seemingly completely unaware that someone was blocking their way in the corridor.
The female researcher bumped head-on into Beelu, letting out a cry of surprise.
"It’s you, I was talking and didn’t watch where I was going, I’m very sorry."
After being bumped by him, the female researcher indeed noticed Beelu, apologized with a bow, and then left with her companion.
Beelu touched his nose, a satisfied smile on his face, and then proceeded straight to the storeroom of the logistics department.
Naturally, this action of his was noticed by the people behind the surveillance.
However, the logistics department was not any restricted area, and being a staff member of the base, Beelu’s presence there wouldn’t raise too much alarm.
What came next went smoothly.
Beelu successfully reached the storeroom of the logistics department, found the red, old-fashioned telephone, dialed a special number, and reported what had just happened.
"Very good, you did well this time, the intelligence was transmitted very timely. I will remember your contribution," came Yang Yangyang’s gratified voice from the telephone.
"You now go back to your dormitory immediately, I will arrange for someone to delete the surveillance records. This matter is very important, if possible, try to accompany your director to the scene, and gather first-hand intelligence data," he continued.
Beelu received his new task, assured with a word, and then hung up the phone and left.
At this moment, in a Wildfire Tavern in England.
Yang Yangyang closed the image on his wristwatch, no longer concerned with the corpse of a Little Refining Demon just brought in by the Bounty Hunters, and directly used the Starry Stone to return to Rebirth Island.
"Star Lord, the spokesperson has sent a message. A trace resembling a Dimension Rift has been found over a town in America. The director of the Hurricane Bureau, Lune, will depart personally and arrive for investigation in three hours..."
Yang Yangyang reported the incident to Zhang Xiaoman in person. Upon hearing it, Xiaoman’s expression also turned grave, indicating the seriousness with which he viewed the sudden event.
"That means at least it’s a medium to small-scale Dimension Rift. And the American military and Hurricane Bureau personnel have gone there? Seems matter is a bit troublesome," Xiaoman remarked calmly.
Just a Dimension Rift was enough to cause a headache.
Now, with the official involvement of the American government, it would be harder for his side to operate.
Moments later, he turned his gaze to Ye Yunxiu nearby.
"However, having said that, your plan, Ye Yunxiu, is quite good. These past days, Beelu has continuously provided us with a lot of missing monster data, which has significantly expanded our information database," he said.
Ye Yunxiu, who had arrived not long ago, nodded with a warm smile. He found the Star Lord’s praise quite flattering.
At the same time, awed by the Awakeners gathered around him, he thought to himself, "The Star Lord truly deserves his title, foreseeing the events to occur, summoning us together in advance... I wonder how he does it, could this be some powerful precognitive ability...?"
Around him, Hu Peng, Xun You, Su Changqing, and other personnel had just been summoned, waiting for instructions from their leader.
Zhang Xiaoman was unaware of Ye Yunxiu’s inner thoughts. His reason for gathering everyone today was actually to discuss matters pertaining to the Wildfire Tavern.
He valued Ye Yunxiu’s abilities and originally planned to let him interface with these people and then take charge of managing the Wildfire Tavern.
However, the urgent issue of the Dimension Rift in America had temporarily sidelined these plans, as the priority was to deal with the rift.
If they let it go unchecked and it released some powerful Alien Species, the situation could become very difficult to manage.
"Dawn is currently executing a mission on the Moon. Hu Peng, Xun You, and Yang Yangyang, you three proceed to the scene aboard Dawn, and observe the target location from a distance," Xiaoman instructed the gathered Awakeners.
