In the moment when Su’en embraced Rena’s arm, the killing intent that was aimed at him from behind suddenly weakened.

As the eldest daughter of the Reyes family, Rena had a lot of influence.

Even the members of the Umbrella Organization would have to consider her safety if they wanted to pursue the culprit.

Su’en didn’t waste any time and took advantage of the small number of people surrounding them. He had to find the “Sealing Object” as soon as possible.

Thanks to Rena’s cooperation, the two of them smoothly entered the lobby of the hotel.

Upon entering, Su’en immediately recalled some scenes in his mind and became certain of where the Sealing Object was hidden.

Su’en wasn’t sure about the room key for this hotel, so he didn’t plan on going directly to the room. It would be troublesome if he couldn’t forcefully open it.

He went to the front desk and intended to check in normally and get the key.

He originally thought that he would need to show identification, but unexpectedly, the manager at the front desk warmly greeted them.

No payment was collected, and no identification was checked.

The manager had a flattering smile on his face.

They didn’t ask for a luxurious suite, just a regular room with a double bed in room 505.

After going upstairs, our “meat ticket” Miss Rena weakly said that this hotel was her family’s property.

The manager knew her.

Furthermore, half of the real estate on this commercial street belonged to her family.

Hmm, Su’en almost forgot that she was a heartless rich woman.

…….

On the fifth floor, that gaze that had been focused on him still hadn’t disappeared.

Su’en ignored it and opened the door to the room.

The Moon Hotel was a high-end hotel, and its decoration was not inferior to the five-star hotels from his previous life.

The price of this kind of room was not cheap, and the infamous thief “A-Tong” chose this place not only for the enjoyment but also for safety. The more luxurious the hotel, the less likely they would check the rooms.

Behind this hotel was the Reyes family, and the people who came and went were all important figures. There were fewer room checks, and the frequency of people staying was low, making it difficult to discover hidden things.

Although Rena didn’t mind helping Su’en, she was also puzzled as to why he brought her to a hotel room.

But before she could ask, as soon as they entered the room, Su’en said, “Close your eyes. Otherwise, you’ll have a lot of trouble later.”

“Oh.”

Although Rena didn’t understand what Su’en was doing, she didn’t ask any further questions and obediently closed her eyes.

Su’en really didn’t want Rena to see what he was about to do, otherwise, she would be in trouble.

The more he said, the more he would expose himself.

As soon as he entered the room, the images in his mind became clear.

Then, his gaze fell on the corner of the ceiling.

With the naked eye, he couldn’t see anything, just a white paint.

He stepped on a stool and reached out to the corner, as if grabbing an invisible strip.

“Found it! It’s really here!”

Su’en felt delighted.

He didn’t know what this Sealing Object was, but he knew it was hidden in that inconspicuous corner.

Now that he had it in his hands, he used his All-Knowing Eye to immediately see what this transparent thing was.

“The Shroud of Oz the Ice Man”

Description: It is the shroud that covers the body of the deceased and the lifeline of the living.

Curse characteristics: It can seal a corpse on the level of the item itself, preventing it from emitting any aura. Of course, if you are willing to pay the price of your lifespan, you can use it as an “invisibility cloak” that no one can detect your whereabouts or aura. When you get close to the shroud, it will absorb your life tenfold. If you insist on wrapping it around yourself, the necromantic aura will cause your life to wither a thousandfold.

Explanation: This is a strip of shroud that was stripped from a mysterious ancient corpse at least twenty thousand years ago. It has absorbed very powerful curse characteristics. Can you see it? No, no one can see it.

When Su’en touched this transparent strip earlier, he felt something strange.

Now that he saw the explanation, he realized that it was the feeling of his life being drained tenfold.

And the curse characteristics of this Sealing Object were with him at all times, ready to absorb his life tenfold.

Wearing it for a day would consume a thousand times more life, equivalent to losing more than three years of lifespan!

However, compared to being caught and killed on the spot, this price was definitely worth it.

“No wonder A-Tong believed that he could confidently escape the Umbrella Organization’s pursuit with this thing… This thing is simply a life-saving artifact!”

Su’en felt a large part of the death cloud that had been shrouding his heart disappear when he obtained this thing.

Gambling with his life, it seemed like he had won again.

But now was not the time for sentimentality. Su’en picked up the two-meter-long bandage and started wrapping it around his body. Just as he was wondering how to wrap his whole body with such a short strip, the bandage seemed to come alive on its own.

It was like a transparent little snake greedily sucking the life force of a living person as it slithered around Su’en, circling him layer by layer, tightly binding him.

At this moment, Su’en could feel that he had been bound like a mummy, tightly and securely.

He lowered his head and looked at his own hands, which were still visible.

But when he looked at the mirror in the room, it was very strange. Even though there were two living people in the room, he only saw Rena, who had her eyes closed.

The place where Su’en was standing was empty!

“Completely disappeared…”

Seeing himself disappear in the mirror, Su’en finally saw a glimmer of hope for escape.

However, he also discovered a problem.

He had only disappeared in an optical sense, his body still existed.The ground beneath his feet showed clear footprints.

Su’en knew that some highly perceptive experts would definitely notice this anomaly, so he didn’t dare to stay in the room any longer.

Before leaving, he glanced at Rena, who was still standing obediently, and said, “Remember, no matter what happens. If someone asks, just insist that I kidnapped you and threatened you with death to force you upstairs.”

Rena obediently nodded, “Okay.”

Su’en thought for a moment and said softly, “Thank you.”

Upon hearing this, Rena didn’t open her eyes, but a faint smile appeared on her pretty face.

Then, she heard the sound of the door closing.

For a long time, there was no sound in the room.

Rena guessed what had happened and cautiously asked, “Mr. Su’en, are you still here?”

No one responded.

She asked again, “Can I open my eyes now?”

Still no response.

At this moment, Rena still didn’t dare to open her eyes because she remembered Mr. Su’en saying that it would cause trouble.

After waiting for a while, she suddenly heard a noise outside the window.

A person jumped in and anxiously asked, “Miss Rena, are you okay?”

Rena opened her eyes again.

Mr. Su’en was no longer there.

Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream.

…….

The kidnapping of the young lady of the Reyes family quickly reached the higher-ups of the Umbrella Organization.

This heinous kidnapping immediately caused a violent upheaval in high society.

When the top professionals at headquarters rushed to rescue the hostage, they suddenly heard that the situation had already been resolved.

The hostage had been rescued.

But the suspect had disappeared.

The technicians of the Umbrella Organization carefully examined Room 505 of the Moon Hotel.

A middle-aged man with a stern face listened to the report from his subordinates in the room.

“So… you and the City Defense Department and the Security Team, a total of thirty elite squads, let the suspect escape right under your noses?”

“Sorry, General. We did see him kidnap the young lady of the Reyes family into the room. Then… we didn’t rush to take action because we were afraid he would harm the hostage. But when the higher-ranked professionals of the organization arrived, there was only Miss Rena left in the room.”

“Heh…”

The middle-aged man suppressed his anger.

Originally, intercepting the Cross Society escort team was just a small task.

Eliminate all the people, contain the “contaminants,” and there would be no ripples at all.

But unexpectedly, a second-tier professional led a team to intercept a group of small-time thugs from the outer city, and they were counter-killed, and the suspect escaped?

Then they mobilized so many resources and failed to capture the person.

Now there was a well-known kidnapping case in the whole city, and the person had escaped again?

If it weren’t for the fact that the capable subordinates in front of him were brought out by himself and their abilities had been recognized, the middle-aged man would really suspect that the new recruits in the Umbrella Organization were all idiots!

Although it was confirmed that the fugitive had the strength of a quasi-second-tier professional, it also proved that there was a major loophole in the organization’s internal intelligence system.

Otherwise, how could such a powerful person be just an unknown figure in the Cross Society and completely blank within the Umbrella Organization?

Thinking of this, the high-ranking member of the Umbrella Organization naturally became furious.

“Do you have any clues about the suspect’s identity? With such a distinctive disguise, don’t tell me you didn’t find anything.”

“We do have clues. Based on the clues, we retrieved the files and found that a few months ago, the Shadow Alley black market did indeed auction off a previously unrecorded ‘golden quality’ spider disguise blueprint. And from the effects, it basically matches…”

“A few months ago? Heh… Are you saying that the fugitive, who is at least an experienced firearms expert and can use the secret technique ‘Mushin,’ only advanced to a formal professional a few months ago? A few months as a novice professional, and he managed to outwit dozens of your reorganized squads?”

“….”

The atmosphere was very awkward.

The employee was scolded throughout.

But the fact was just like that, these were the clues they found.

Although they themselves didn’t believe it.

The middle-aged man knew that getting angry now wouldn’t solve the problem, so he asked again, “Have you figured out why the kidnapper came to abduct the young lady of the Reyes family? I heard before I came that the two of them seemed to know each other?”

“Yes. The young lady of the Reyes family was accompanied by her bodyguard and the young lady of the Cortes family, Yulia. They both confirmed that the two of them knew each other. But Miss Rena couldn’t provide any more information, she just said she was coerced by someone, and we didn’t want to ask too much.”

“What about this room?”

“There are some unusual marks in the corner of the ceiling. After comparing the marks, the forensic personnel found that there should have been a transparent object attached there before. We investigated the relevant files and speculated that it might be the ‘shroud of the Ice Man of Oz,’ which was lost in the Bravo family’s treasure theft case.”

“So, you mean, the stolen goods that you investigated for several years were taken away directly by the suspect, and then he escaped using that sealed item?”

“Yes…”

After listening to the report from his subordinates, the middle-aged man looked through the records of the entire arrest process and his angry expression turned into a solemn contemplation.”From the very beginning, whether it was using a taxi to mislead the pursuers or using a fake code to break through the blockade, the suspect has shown an extraordinary calmness… His thinking is very clear, and he has shown a very accurate purpose throughout the anti-hunt process. He first went to District Four, and after being blocked, he came to the Moon Hotel to retrieve the sealed object… So, his purpose is very clear, he wants to escape!”

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man’s gaze sharpened.

“Notify everyone to focus on blocking and investigating District Four. The suspect’s destination is still in District Four, especially check the rivers, sewers, and smuggling channels leading to the outer city…”

“Yes!”

After the middle-aged man gave the order, his brows still didn’t relax.

“Being able to respond so quickly in the warehouse, it can’t be ruled out that he knew in advance that Isaac’s Alchemy Notebook was hidden in this batch of goods. This is strange, Sambu should not have been exposed yet, how did the news leak… Right, has there been any movement from Mrs. Philo and the forces behind her?”

“Not for the moment.”

“Keep a close eye on them!”

“Yes!”

“Also, there’s a high chance you won’t be able to catch that guy. Prepare to intercept and kill him in the outer city. Don’t you have that kid’s bloody clothes? Notify the ‘Plague Doctor’ Sergei of the Crow Gang to find him. Notify Sambu to intercept and kill, we absolutely cannot let the suspect meet with the high-ranking members of the Cross Society!”

“Yes!”

“The most important point, the Duke’s Mansion has issued a death order, the notebook must not be lost! If it falls into the wrong hands and contaminates others, it will have a huge impact on our Dawn City. Remember, anyone who comes into contact with the notebook must be completely eliminated! If you let someone escape after making such a big fuss, don’t bother coming back!”

“Yes!”
