Chapter 71: Chapter 71: The Big Space User Finally Couldn’t Hide Anymore (1)
 

After everything was settled, Ye Nai emerged from the corner, gathering everything in one breath. Admiration echoed in waves from both the surroundings and the sky above.

She confidently raised her head, waved her hand, tossed out her motorcycle, and hopped on to speed off.

As a result, many people recognized the motorcycle, its bright, eye-catching color identifiable as the one that had just been registered a few days ago.

Awakeners really do have money.

Ye Nai rushed to the wholesale market and bought bundles of canvas and a large amount of fresh produce turnover boxes.

Then, finding a restaurant, she ate while sinking her spiritual power into Space and started to get busy.

She laid out the canvas in a trailer, fully covering its sides and the floor, with the edges hanging out slightly, then transferred Fur Mountain into it.

It was an asset that could be realized at any moment, a high-value item that blocked the view in Space but tidied up nicely in the trailer.

The same was done for another mound of meat, packed into fresh produce turnover boxes and neatly stacked in a second trailer.

The remaining four empty trailers were kept on hand for unforeseen needs.

Today had taken too much time dealing with the tractor, leaving no time for consignment shopping. With the remaining time in the day, Ye Nai went back to the auto parts city.

When she passed by the restaurant, she carefully scoped it out and saw no trace of surveillance. However, as she entered the business area associated with auto parts, surveillance cameras became more prevalent.

It meant that there were no cameras near the entrance gate or the residential area surrounding it.

It might be possible that there were road traffic cameras, but small stores did not have cameras at their entrances.

This is why the footage before and after her motorcycle was stolen didn’t exist, no wonder the thief had been so brazen.

The current conditions were indeed poor. Vast lands had turned into dumps, the existing mineral resources could not be mined, many high-precision goods could not be produced, and there was a shortage of materials for producing surveillance camera chips, lenses, and casings.

This is why the number of surveillance devices had greatly decreased, nowhere near as dense as before the war.

Under these circumstances, ordinary cases were hard to crack, let alone those committed by Awakeners.

After leaving the auto parts city, Ye Nai returned to the motel.

After bathing and changing clothes, she nestled in bed and browsed her phone, where she saw a local news story about the discovery of three men who had suddenly fallen ill and died in the motorcycle repair shop on a certain road in the urban village. Two of the dead were father and son. The third, identified through fingerprint comparison, was a repeat offender with a history of vehicle theft. Now the repair shop and the families were under investigation for potential involvement in modifying and fencing stolen vehicles.

The news also featured photos of the deceased. After careful identification, Ye Nai confirmed that one of them was the repair shop owner she had met.

She nodded satisfactorily. It was good that they were dead.

Following this news, there were many local updates with photos and videos from the intersection she had passed the previous day. The van parked in front of the shop had disappeared, possibly towed away by the police, or it might have been stolen.

While thinking this, she stumbled upon some gossip. Someone was complaining that when the accident at the repair shop happened, a large crowd had gone in to watch. When they came out, the shop looked as though it had been raided—many items had been lost, even the van parked outside had disappeared. No one knew who had driven it away. It was surely gone for good, possibly already dismantled into scrap metal in some shabby shop within a day.

Ye Nai burst into laughter, completely unexpected to this turn of events, and inadvertently relaxed her grip.

Smack, the phone hit her face right on the bridge of her nose.

Rubbing her nose, Ye Nai continued laughing. Although the van was lost, one could still check the surveillance to see where the van went last, then find eyewitnesses in the area near the entrance of the auto parts city to see if anyone witnessed the theft, and ultimately rely on witness statements to trace it back to her.

Only a murder case would go to such lengths, but was there evidence proving that the three sudden deaths from illness were murders?

Ye Nai took out pen and paper, considered her responses, and felt that unless there were witnesses or concrete evidence, the likelihood of tracing it back to her was slim.

At the same time, she also reflected that she had been too rushed in her actions, killing all three at once. Even one death per day would have sufficed.

Next time, she would act more calmly, allowing the Fungus to grow slowly within the human body, prolonging the death and ensuring it was more painful.

Sudden death was too merciful.

Eventually, Ye Nai concluded that she still needed to perfect her skills and continue her research on medicine and human anatomy.

Meanwhile, news of a Big Space User arriving in Anyuan City was spreading quickly among those in the know.

The information she left was clear. A quick check at the Transportation Bureau would reveal she was from neighboring East Ridge City, and another check through the local Awakener Center would pull up Ye Nai’s basic information. Not long after, the fact that she had fetched autumn and winter supplies for the seven risky zones in East Ridge City previously also ended up on various leaders’ desks.

The chiefs of two hazardous zones in Anyuan City immediately contacted the local armed forces and then called East Ridge City’s armed forces.

“Hello, hello, hello, Old Zhang, you know you’re out of line, right? I must file a complaint.”

“Ah? Complain about what? How am I out of line?”

“Didn’t you tell us about the Big Space User from your East Ridge City? She did all the heavy lifting with the supplies, right? Saved us so much trouble. And you, old boy, knew full well it isn’t easy for us in Anyuan City to deliver supplies, yet you purposefully kept such a significant piece of information from us.”

“Ah? That so? Didn’t they contact you?”

What could East Ridge City’s armed forces do but play dumb all the way through, while internally cursing all the risky zone chiefs, a bunch of old foxes keeping things so tight, even they in the armed forces had no clue.

“I swear, Old Zhang, you’re just playing dumb now.”

“Tsk, you call to complain and expect me to hire her? And you’re still nagging me?”

“Argh, forget it, I’m done talking to you.”

The person on the other end promptly hung up. Old Zhang, holding the phone hearing the busy tone, shook his head, put down the phone, and called his secretary.

“Minister, what can I do for you?”

“Do you know we have a Big Space User in our city?”

“Ah?”

“Anyuan City even called us.”

“Yes, Minister, I’ll confirm with the Awakener Center right away.”

The secretary turned to make a call, and returned a few minutes later with several printed pages.

They contained Ye Nai’s registration information from the Awakener Center and her current basic details.

“A Space User registered on July 1st with 2000 cubic meters of space?” Minister Zhang found it absurd, “Just registered and that’s it? What about after that? It’s been months, no one thought to inform us? Do you realize what 2000 cubic meters implies? Since when has East Ridge City become so affluent that we don’t care about a Space User with such large capacity?”

“Minister, please, calm down. According to the information we have, this Ye Nai went to Risky Zone 5 right after registration, took only official tasks from the start, and only one private task. Then…”
