Lord of the People: My Talent is 100 Million Points Strong

Hearing the familiar rustling sound again, Lei Xiao was surprised, and then commanded his subordinates to quietly come to the right side of the cave wall, stand still, and began to listen attentively.

Through careful comparison of the two sounds before and after, Lei Xiao discovered.

It can be confirmed whether it is from the frequency of steps landing or from the messy footsteps of multiple people.

The sound of these footsteps was exactly the same as the footsteps that had just gone away.

This was also confirmed by Lei Xiao's gaze from Nanxing Nanyue.

As an assassin, Nanxing Nanyue's hearing has undergone extremely rigorous training, so it is naturally impossible to make mistakes no matter what.

Moreover, Lei Xiao learned from the eyes of Huzhang and others.

The second footsteps also yielded nothing in terms of energy fluctuations, breath, and smell.

From this, a surprising answer emerged.

The two footsteps one after another were indeed from the same group of people.

"Good guy, two goals? However, since entering the underground tunnel, it has always been a straight passage deep into the ground. There are no forks in the road, not even a bend."

At this time, an uncontrollable expression of confusion appeared on Lei Xiao's cheek: "If that's the case, then why did the voice that had gone away from behind me appear from the front again?"

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao frowned slightly.

If the sudden first footsteps just now were just a pebble hitting the water, it caused some ripples in his heart.

So, this second strange footsteps was like the coming of a great tide, stirring up waves higher and higher in his heart.

At this moment, in Lei Xiao's eyes, it was not just the strange footsteps.

Even this dark tunnel passage, which exudes a permeating green and extends underground, seems to have become very weird.

"It seems that my team must have encountered some kind of trouble."

With his brows furrowed again, Lei Xiao refocused his attention on the footsteps that were getting closer.

Hold your breath and listen.

Bangta, bangta, bangta...

Accompanied by the sound of multiple footsteps that were deliberately suppressed and slightly chaotic, they were getting closer and closer.

Finally, when the strange footsteps approaching on the left side of the passage were almost parallel to Lei Xiao's group standing on the right side of the passage, a change occurred.

This time, the opponent, who was also in an invisible state, did not directly pass by us like the first time.

Instead, the sound suddenly stopped, causing the entire passage to become silent instantly.

For a moment, the only sound left in the huge underground tunnel was the dripping sound of water seeping from the cave wall, which was still falling from time to time around.

"The other party stopped?"

In the dark green environment, Lei Xiao couldn't help but be startled, and thought to himself: "Did the other party notice our traces?"

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's expression froze, and his body slightly bent, making a posture ready for battle.

The subordinates surrounding him were all ready to attack.

Even though this would expose one's whereabouts and make the plan to find Benson fail, it was better to take a preemptive strike than to be passively beaten.

However, just as all the subordinates were gearing up to compete with the mysterious invisible enemy not far away.

Lei Xiao suddenly stretched his right hand flat in front of his chest, put the tips of his left fingers on the palm of his right hand, and made a stop gesture.

After the initial shock, Lei Xiao reacted immediately.

Since the other party didn't notice you the first time, there's a chance that they won't notice you the second time.

Therefore, the reason why the other party stopped was definitely not because they discovered their whereabouts.

"Since the other party didn't notice us, why did they stop suddenly? It's simply unbelievable."

"What's even more puzzling is that in this straight passage with no detour, the other party has already passed by the one who has been moving forward once, so how can it pass by the one who has been moving forward again? A second time?!”

Under the dim green light from the damp cave wall, Lei Xiao felt that his mind was filled with questions and his brows were twisted into a knot.

In this strange and quiet semi-enclosed environment, he could even clearly hear the pounding of his heart in his chest.

Just when Lei Xiao calmed down and tried to relax himself.

Directly opposite, on the left side near the spacious underground tunnel, the rustling footsteps sounded again.

Bangta, bangta, bangta...

Then he continued to walk in the opposite direction to the group of people, and finally gradually disappeared behind the group of people.

Until the sound completely disappeared, Lei Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath.

I have to say that everything here is indeed getting weirder and more incredible.

"All in all, there are two main issues before me at the moment."

"The first is the true identity of the weird invisible footsteps, and the second is the reason why the invisible footsteps appeared from the front of the team for the second time."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then made the decision to move on.

"I still can't believe that the strange footsteps that have passed me twice can reappear in front of me again."

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. This time, Lei Xiao, surrounded by his subordinates, greatly accelerated his pace.

However, as if silently responding to Lei Xiao, the group of people, who were traveling significantly faster, had just walked out for a while.

Bangta, bangta, bangta...

The rustling footsteps sounded in front of Lei Xiao for the third time.

Stopping and listening carefully, the familiar footsteps, both in terms of the frequency of the steps and the somewhat chaotic and deliberately lowered sound, were exactly the same as the previous two times.

"Good guy, it's really here again."

Shaking his head helplessly, this time, Lei Xiao looked thoughtful while listening to the footsteps getting closer.

Although I still don’t know the true identity of the person who deliberately suppressed the footsteps, I have been able to completely confirm it through the strange circumstances of meeting him three times in a row.

This seemingly straight green passage leading underground is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Could it be that this place is like the barrier of the Winged Human Race, with many teleportation formations, able to teleport my team to other parts of the passage without even realizing it?"

"But even if the teleportation circle is hidden and my team is passively teleported without knowing it, there will definitely be abnormal energy fluctuations around the teleportation circle. Moreover, I have never felt teleportation. The light landing feeling at the end..."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao was startled and suddenly enlightened.

"Could it be that the person who was teleported was not my own side, but the other party? Only in this way can I explain why the other party was able to appear in front of me three times in a row in this straight passage."

After thinking about this seemingly reasonable explanation, Lei Xiao shook his head slightly again.

"No, every time the other party leaves, he takes the same route that I pass. If this is true, then the hidden teleportation circle is obviously set up somewhere along the route that I pass."

"In other words, if the hidden teleportation circle really exists, the other party must know its specific location."

"But why does the opponent use the hidden teleportation circle again and again, constantly returning to the previous path, and then encountering our own side? This is obviously illogical."

Just when Lei Xiao was puzzled.

The footsteps that were becoming increasingly clear were already very close to him.

"Speaking of which, after encountering it three times in a row, why do I feel more and more that these slightly chaotic footsteps sound a bit familiar?"

Lei Xiao just thought of this inexplicably.

The familiar footsteps stopped on the opposite side of the group of people as expected.

"The current unbelievable situation, if considered from a normal perspective, will obviously lead to a dead end... It seems that we have to find a new entry point."

"I have a feeling that the current clues are actually enough to lead me to the truth of the matter. As long as I find this entry point, all questions will be gradually solved."

After thinking about this, Lei Xiao's eyes moved and looked at the green cave wall directly opposite. Although there seemed to be no one there, there was no doubt that the answer to the question was obviously hidden in it.

At this moment, a change occurred.

Along with the other party's footsteps, it sounded again.

This time, the opponent's pace has obviously accelerated a lot.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he quickly disappeared behind the group of people.

"For the first time, the opponent's pace did not stop."

"The second time, although the opponent's pace stopped, the pace before and after the stop did not change."

"The third time, the opponent's pace still stalled, but after starting again, the pace obviously accelerated, coupled with the feeling of becoming more and more familiar..."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao was startled, and a look of realization suddenly appeared on his confused face.

He first took a deep breath, and then said to the subordinates: "Okay, there is no need to silence now, I have figured out the true identity of the weird footsteps."

"But Lord, if we talk like this, will the other party notice?"

Hearing the sound, the furry ears on Bai Wei's head moved, and she couldn't help but speak softly.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter even if the other party notices it, because the other party's true identity is none other than ourselves."

Nodding to the Snow Wolf tribe woman, Lei Xiao smiled lightly.

"The other party's true face is us?!"

After hearing this incredible answer, all the subordinates looked at each other.

Immediately afterwards, expressions of sudden enlightenment gradually began to appear on the faces of the subordinates, and they all obviously reacted.

Among them, only Chaoyan and Bai Wei still looked confused. They both blinked their big eyes and looked at Lei Xiao in confusion.

Looking at the two people's big green eyes reflected on the cave wall, Lei Xiao couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you two still remember each other's movements?"

"Remember, the first time we met each other, the other party did not stop, but walked directly over."

He nodded confusedly, Chao Yan's eyes slightly raised, obviously recalling: "But the second time, the other party suddenly stopped in front of us."

"That's right. During the second encounter, although the other party stopped for a while, it didn't look like they had discovered our existence. It was really confusing."

Bai Wei on the side tilted her head and added.

"The reason why the other party stayed during the second encounter was because we stayed during the first encounter."

Lei Xiao was still smiling and said patiently: "The other party had no reason to stay the first time. In fact, it's very simple. It's because we haven't met each other yet, so naturally we won't stay."

After a pause, Lei Xiao continued to explain: "In other words, when we encountered each other for the first time, what we met was actually us who had never encountered each other before. But when we encountered each other for the second time, we met each other. It’s our first encounter with the other party.”

"Lord, my subordinates seem to understand."

He pouted and nodded, frowned slightly at Yan Dai, and said thoughtfully: "When we encountered the other party for the third time, the reason why the other party speeded up after stopping was because after our second encounter, Is it because you have quickened your pace?"

"So that's it! The other party has been repeating our last action!"

Hearing this, Bai Wei flicked her big fluffy tail and suddenly said: "So, the other party is just a mirror image of us?!"

"Yes, this tunnel passage obviously has some magical function of producing mirror images."

Snapping his fingers lightly, Lei Xiao affirmed: "This also explains from the side that we can neither detect any energy fluctuations, breath and smell of the other party, nor can we see the real reason of the other party."

"That's us who are under the invisibility cloak and in a state of invisibility. Even if a mirror image is created, the only thing that can be imitated is the sound of our footsteps."

After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved and looked at the twin sisters beside him and said: "Nan Xing Nan Yue, based on the analysis of the footsteps, can you draw the same conclusion?"

"Back to Lord, during the second time, my subordinates were able to distinguish the specific number of the opponent's footsteps, but there were two less than our team."

Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Nan Xing's cheeks were slightly red, and he said with some embarrassment: "At that time, my subordinates didn't react yet. The footsteps were made by us. After all, the number of sounds didn't match up."

"Because the two subordinates have received strict stealth training, the footsteps are almost negligible, so we can only hear the footsteps of two missing people."

A shy crisp voice sounded, and Nan Yue on the side added: "Thanks to the Lord's reminder, the two subordinates were able to react belatedly."

"Very good. It seems things are clear."

Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao immediately said: "Okay, after all, all this is just our reasoning. Next, let us verify it."
