Vincent looked at Charlotte, who had promised him solemnly. He nodded slightly in response.
He said meaningfully, “I hope that everyone can do their best to help me complete this mission, and I will do my best to ensure everyone’s safety!”
Charlotte and the other three wanderers nodded to Vincent. They then turned around and walked out of the camp. They went to explore the surrounding worlds to gather information as per Vincent’s orders.
After everyone had left, Kurt pushed open the tent’s door and said to Vincent, “Edward has woken up!”
Vincent was not surprised. Instead, he smiled because he knew that Edward’s injuries had long been healed by the blood law. He had only sustained minor injuries.
As Vincent walked into the tent, Edward, who was lying on the ground, immediately shot him a grateful look.
“Mr. Vincent, thank you for saving me! I’ve overheard your conversations outside. Charlotte’s suggestion is the right decision for everyone, but your kindness and responsibility make me admire you immensely!” said Edward with a weak look.
He even wanted to get up to pack his luggage.
Vincent immediately squatted down and pressed on Edward’s shoulder. He said in a deep voice, “You’re injured, so don’t get up. First, tell me about last night’s situation. Did you see the intruder who attacked you?”
Edward shook his head and said helplessly, “Last night, I was sleeping when I was suddenly struck by something. When I opened my eyes, I only saw a fading shadow! I couldn’t see the other party!”
Vincent could not help but turn to Kurt and asked, “Did you find anything?”
Kurt immediately said, “According to Edward’s injuries and the traces left behind in the tent, the biggest suspect is the Lingluo Race who is stationed nearby. This is because their authority to modify fits the idea of entering and exiting without a trace!”
Vincent immediately shook his head and said, “It can’t be the Lingluo Race. If they used the authority to open the s.p.a.ce door, there wouldn’t be any afterimages. Edward shouldn’t have seen anything, or he would have seen a s.p.a.ce door!”
Kurt then said, “Then the other possibility is that someone had used the short-distance s.p.a.ce jump ability. Edward’s door only has traces of being pushed open by you. There are no traces of it being pried open last night!”
Vincent could not help but raise his head and sigh, “If it’s a short-distance s.p.a.ce jump ability, then the intruder must be someone on the team!”
Kurt nodded in agreement.
Edward asked with a puzzled expression, “Why?”
Vincent a.n.a.lyzed, “Because if the intruder used a short-distance s.p.a.ce jump to enter your tent and used this method to escape after attacking you, then he must continuously use his ability, thus producing a series of psionic waves! But if the psionic waves appear frequently, I can detect it even in my sleep! The number of waves must have been less than two. That is why I am unable to detect it. The intruder used the first jump to enter your tent and after completing the attack, he used the second jump to go back to his tent. Therefore, it is sufficient to conclude that the intruder must be someone in the team!”
Edward saw Vincent’s confident expression and could not help but ask, “What if the intruder used a long-distance s.p.a.ce jump ability?”
Without waiting for Vincent to answer, Kurt took the lead and said, “Impossible! A long-distance s.p.a.ce jump will produce greater psionic waves. Given my distance from the camp last night, I will definitely be able to sense it!”
Edward’s face immediately turned pale when he heard that. He started coughing violently as if he was really scared.
Edward stopped coughing and quickly said to Vincent, “Mr. Vincent, there must be other reasons for this. When a wanderer carries out a mission, he should avoid suspecting his companions the most! The number of wanderers in our team is so small to begin with. We must not have internal strife!”
Kurt noticed that Edward did not want to cause any internal strife amongst the members of the team. He did not want to urge Vincent to continue investigating. Kurt could not help but turn to look at Vincent. He used his gaze to ask what he should do next.
Vincent did not dodge the question. Instead, he continued to ask Edward, “How much do you know about the abilities of the other members of the team?”
After hearing Vincent’s question, Edward knew that Vincent was still suspicious of the other members. He could only say helplessly, “I have never worked with anyone in the team. This is the first time. However, according to the records of the Netherworld Race, the ability of the Star Race is to burn their own star power. The ability of the Wood Spirit Race is to create all kinds of wood-type plants. They do not possess the short-distance s.p.a.ce jump that you described!”
Vincent nodded and said, “It seems that we can eliminate Quinn and Richard. This is basically the same as my guess!”
Kurt and Edward were stunned when they heard that. They looked at Vincent curiously.
Since Vincent already had a guess, it meant that he must have someone in mind!
“Mr. Vincent, do you have an idea on who the intruder is?” asked Kurt curiously.
Vincent nodded and said, “Actually, when I was talking to everyone just now, I already knew who the intruder was, but I suspect that there’s more than one spy in the team! So I still need to confirm it!”
Edward’s expression became even more unsightly. His injuries that had recovered were about to start hurting again.
Kurt quickly took out healing medicine and fed it to Edward.
After seeing this, Vincent could only stand up and say, “You should recuperate first. Don’t show yourself, and don’t let others know that you’re awake!”
Edward nodded repeatedly. He was so weak that he could not speak for long.
Vincent then signaled Kurt, and the two of them walked out of the tent together. Edward continued to heal himself alone.
Vincent said to Kurt, “Get ready. When the team members return, we’ll ask each of them one by one to see who will reveal the truth!”
Kurt was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly heard a voice out of nowhere.
“Danger!”
It was a female voice and it sounded childish in nature. Although it was a reminder, there was no anxiety in it, and her tone was full of ridicule!
Vincent had no time to look for who it was. Instead, he lowered his head to look at the Evil Fate ring on his finger.
The Evil Fate was a divine artifact forged using the Rama ring, s.p.a.ce tunnel token, and Cosmic Threads. At that moment, Vincent could sense that someone had opened a s.p.a.ce tunnel around them!
Without waiting for Vincent to respond, s.p.a.ce doors appeared around the camp one after another. Dozens of figures walked out from within and surrounded Vincent and Kurt.
A creature walked forward and questioned Vincent and Kurt, “Who are you? Why are you camping near our Lingluo World?”
Vincent looked at the appearance of the creature and immediately recognized that it was a member of the Lingluo Race. He quickly smiled and said, “We are wanderers.. We had to stay here because of an accident. I hope you can go easy on us!”
