Book 5 Chapter 22 – The Four Spirits That Hid the Sky
"Why didn't you help me? I'm sure that was Han Tianyi." Lin Lu asked as she tightened the oversized blue s.h.i.+rt around herself. Liu Meng had led her to a hidden corner in an alley and the two put on a new set of clothes.
"Help you do what? Are we going to torture him? He doesn't seem to remember anything." Liu Meng pursed her lips. Peeking at a naked man was one thing, but explaining a kidnapping story was something else entirely.
"There's no mistake. He must have been in the army. Did you notice the scars on his left ribs and on the inner side of his right thigh?" Lin Lu put on her belt and made sure that her pants covered her shoes.
"The scar on his inner thigh?" Lin Lu frowned. 'Wow, she sure is observant… is that also part of military training?'
"Yes. It was a gunshot wound too. If we really transmigrated, then how is it possible that he has such a scar?" Lin Lu continued on her own, not minding Liu Meng's expression.
"If he really is Han Tianyi, then it doesn't matter whether he remembers or not. Surely the rest of the team are also here." Liu Meng had no doubts that Han Tianyi was one of the people they were looking for. However, he "circ.u.mstances" did not exactly allow for his capture.
"I agree. I wanted to capture him for questioning."
"It's okay, we're not in a rush. As long as he stays in this city, we have as much time as we want."
"So what should we…"
"We should go back and have a look, of course. I'd expect him to stay in contact with his teammates, and that house certainly doesn't look like it was built for one person." Liu Meng said. 'He's probably dressed by now. A fit body, but I much prefer Yiming's…'
"Yes." Lin Lu's eyes lit up. In fact, she would have been able to produce a much better a.s.sessment of the situation than either Li Yiming or Liu Meng, but she had her judgment clouded by the shock of having one supernatural event occur after another.

"Li Yiming?" Eyegla.s.ses suddenly stopped and looked at the tablet hidden in his basket.
"Li Yiming?" Chen Quan stopped walking as well. By now, only a single thought lingered in his mind: he needed to follow the man in front of him.
"So he also found You Fang? Let's go have a look." Eyegla.s.ses had left one of his small insect drones right outside of You Fang's cla.s.sroom to monitor him.
Li Yiming stared at the rather innocuous-looking insect by the window. It traced a pattern in the air that made Li Yiming know that Eyegla.s.ses had spotted him. He signaled to Eyegla.s.ses to join him and Sai Gao. 'More people, more ideas. I need to share the information with Eyegla.s.ses.'
Li Yiming peeked at You Fang once again. 'He's not faking it… it's as if he's never met me.'
