Embers Ad Infinitum

Gitis’s male body drove the dark-red SUV toward the block where he usually was active.

In a room there, Gitis had already waited for a while, prepared to retrieve the Subhuti figurine.

Before long, Gitis’s male body found a place to park in a quiet alley.

Just as ‘he’ opened the car door and walked down with the Subhuti figurine, a figure suddenly appeared in the empty space beside him.

This figure was female.
She had an oval face and willowy eyebrows.
Her facial features were extremely symmetrical as if they had been specially polished by an artist.

She wore a white shirt, a blue denim coat, and a wide felt hat with a high brim.
In her hands were two United 202s.

As she appeared, two black muzzles were aimed at Gitis’s male body.

With two bangs, blood splattered as Gitis’s male body was torn apart.
Before ‘he’ could react, ‘he’ fell to the ground with heavy injuries and entered a dying state.

The assailant fired two more shots at his head, leaving blood everywhere.
It was a tragic sight.

She then put away her pistols, bent down, quickly picked up the Subhuti figurine, and left the scene from the other end of the alley.

In a room 100 to 200 meters away, Gitis ‘saw’ the scene of her avatar being attacked.

All of this happened so suddenly that she couldn’t react in time or use her abilities.
She was then enveloped by the pain transmitted by her avatar’s consciousness.

She let out an uncontrollable scream as her body convulsed before she collapsed and curled up.

After she returned to normal, she felt a splitting headache and felt listless as she worried about her other avatars.

The Subhuti figurine was already relatively far from her; she couldn’t sense it anymore, much less control it.
However, the effects of Divine Mirror Connection and Destiny Connection could still be maintained for a period of time, preventing her other avatars from dying on the spot.

Knowing that this couldn’t last long, Gitis was angry and anxious.
However, she still maintained her basic calmness and allowed the bodies to enter the process of ‘death.’ This allowed the people around the avatars to be prepared for what would happen next and not be too shocked.

This was a problem that Gitis had long considered.

…

At 8 p.m., Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian met Gitis in the safe house.

“What? The Subhuti figurine was snatched?” Shang Jianyao had a look of shock.

The honest him quickly added, “Don’t tell me you think we did it?”

“If it were you, there would’ve been plenty of other opportunities.
You could’ve killed me as well.” Gitis’s expression was gloomy and a little hesitant.

“Did you see the assailant?” Jiang Baimian asked.

Gitis recalled and said, “Yes.”

She informed the Old Task Force of the attacker’s appearance and general appearance.

“We’ve seen this person before!” Shang Jianyao replied enthusiastically.
“She’s also from the Eighth Research Institute and is good at stealth and assassination.”

Jiang Baimian tersely acknowledged it.
“Qiao Chu and Professor Qin’s collaborator? If she had taken action back then, the outcome might’ve been completely different.”

She wasn’t exaggerating.
Although the Old Task Force was wary of this assassin, there were still too few ways they could deal with her.

“She came late, so she tailed Gitis’s avatar and stole the Subhuti figurine.
She plans on using it to deal with us?” Shang Jianyao guessed boldly.

Gitis hesitated for a moment before saying, “I feel like she was waiting for my avatar from the beginning…”

“That’s a little strange,” Shang Jianyao said on Jiang Baimian’s behalf.

…

Gesterbourg, in the room above Gitis’s apartment.

Xu Lan—who had snatched away the Subhuti figurine—turned on the radio and tuned it to a certain frequency.
After doing this, she closed her eyes and patiently waited.

Before long, Wu Meng’s voice sounded from the radio.
“Did you succeed?”

“I obtained the figurine,” Xu Lan replied.

Wu Meng laughed.
“Very good.
You only need to send it to Ruin 13 and to me.
Then, you can be free.
At the same time, I’ll also bestow you with the Asymmetric Dao.
As the saying goes, the way of the heavens is to win without competing.
Asymmetry is also the greatest symmetry…”

Xu Lan nodded and said, “Alright.”

She then sighed.
“Your judgment is really accurate.
I followed that team and indeed encountered the figurine.
If not for the fact that I had to wait until they finished off Professor Qin and find the research institute’s exact location, I would’ve long taken action.
Don’t tell me he was influenced by you, considering how Professor Qin was in such a rush to carry out the ambush and claim credit?”

Wu Meng smiled leisurely.
“The Dao can be told, but the Dao is not immutable…”
