Chapter 146: Familiar Situations
Before I check to see how much money Ive made from all the arbitrage, I notice something very strange going on with the rats in the city.
To be specific not my rats.
To the left of me is an injured man. On top of him is a healing rat.
But, its not mine.
Im repeating it in my head, just to make sure Im seeing this correctly. There are healing rats and they arent mine.
Granted, the healing from this rat appears to be significantly slower and is only able to get minor to moderate injuries, but this means someone else is copying what Im doing.
Seriously, what is going on?
One of my rats runs around and also heals another person in the distance. The wounds visibly heal from both of them, though at different timings.
Leaning over to someone in the crowd that seems to just be relaxing, I try to get their thoughts on the issue.
Hey, I'm sorry to bother you, but I have a quick question.
Before I can ask the question, the gruff looking man looks me up and down and barks out an answer.
Ah. Foreigner. You wanna head in that direction, if you want to get involved with the political side. We don't usually deal with that out here.
He points at the road heading toward the mountain, like that would explain anything.
Uhhh. Actually, I was just shopping here and was hoping you could tell me if rats healing people laying on the streets was normal to see for areas around sects?
He pauses then coughs out a laugh.
A few people look at him briefly before continuing. He doesnt appear to be anyone important, so they move on.
For his part, he shifts to face me more directly and looks at me closer.
Hahaha, sorry about that. We usually get a lot of foreigners here, who dont know where to go for their fancy meetings. And I suppose that is a pretty good question.
He seems to think on it a bit before giving a slow and cautious answer.
It seems to be something pretty recent, but a lot of us assume that it might be one of the bigwigs in the sect trying to finally clean up the city a bit. To be specific, by helping more local people, everyone is more tolerable of when certain undesirables disappear.
The good thing is that the only things they are doing are actually healing people. In a sense, they are actually helping by giving me a front against the dangerous groups. The only issue is, but they are most definitely looking for who the original person to do this is. The question will be whether theyre looking to recruit or something else.
Thankfully, I get the feeling that the relationship that I would have with them would be a lot friendlier than what happened with the alchemy group. It will also be harder for them to gather information on me, so I may have more time than I expected. All the previous things I thought about will also still be giving me some protection on this. Like, I know Ive been running around this whole time, appearing as if Im busy.
In addition, unlike the alchemy group, Ive had no dealings with them and they havent shown up in any of my previous scans.
My scan also lets me know that its well known that the two groups, the alchemy group and the research group, have issues with each other, because of their differing goals and areas of operation.
Of course, as soon as I think that, the subtlest spiritual sense I have felt yet washes over the area Im in. No one other than I seems to notice it, not even the nearby cultivators.
A testament to how skilled its user is.
I resist the urge to look straight at the person as it continues to go over every person. It stops on me for me for a moment longer than everyone else but then continues on.
Its only when it returns to me, and only me, that Id give them a sharp look. Its a person completely covered from head to toe and black cloth, somewhat similar to me, but even their eyes are covered.
As a glare at them, i can see the shivers run down their back. Just as they use their sense on me, Im now using my scan on them and I lower everything but my protection to make sure I do this thoroughly.
This person is actually somewhat well known, but they hide their identity well. They are known as the Probing Air Master.
This is because, despite only being in the Qi condensation level, that are able to hide their spiritual sense to where she can gather decent information over a very large period, but at a level that not even core formation experts can discover.
Her services are very valued for information gathering. Which means someone really wanted to know what was going on with the merchant situation.
What did cause more pain to discover is who she really is.
Her name is Wei, having no family name. Shes desperately trying to gather enough coin to get materials to ascend to the foundation establishment stage, since they only have an above average spiritual root. Once they reach that level, they will be in a secure position. They will continue cultivating, but theyve said that multiple times to people in their inner circle.
What is the surprising part is they are an outer court member of the sect Im trying to join. They arent doing this as part of their normal duties, but as an outside activity.
Im consistently shocked by how much I can learn about a person using this scan. Nonetheless, there are still many things I cant get access to which would take far too much energy to be worth it.
This makes things tougher, though. Since shes part of the sect, Ill have to step carefully.
Contrary to my thoughts, Wei is still frozen in place, as I have not stopped staring at her.
As I continue to think to myself, I am brought out of my thoughts when she slowly raises her hands up in submission.
She points to a nearby alleyway, as if to talk for a moment.
Why does this seem so familiar?
