"Ding ding ding..."

A burst of phone ringing echoed, making the sound of the bed creaking seem slightly out of tune.

"Wake up!"

"Come on, just a few more minutes..."

"Bang!"

"Ouch, damn, Meng! That kick of yours... really has style!"

With a swift kick, Liang Houyun was sent tumbling onto the ground as Tu Mengmeng rolled out of bed, her athletic upper body and impressive bust perfectly blending sharp muscular lines with feminine curves, creating an unusual beauty.

As for Liang Houyun, he lay on the ground, his eyes wishing they could cling to Tu Mengmeng's figure.

"Already found one so quickly?"

Tu Mengmeng glanced at the message, noticeably surprised.

It had only been a short while, yet Lin Ye had already pinpointed a target, which was indeed astonishing.

"I have to start working now, clean yourself up. For the next month, don't come looking for me!"

Tu Mengmeng got off the bed, tossing a box of tissues onto Liang Houyun.

At this moment, Liang Houyun looked like a girl who'd been used up, staring blankly at the tissues, his expression dazed...

Hasn't the situation reversed here?

But there was no alternative...

Whether on the bed or off, couldn't win!

...

"Xu Ge, confirmed as 'Key'!"

"Xu Zhenyu, excluded from being 'Key'!"

"Qiu Du, 'Key'!"

"Guo Kaixuan, excluded!"

...

In the following ten-odd days, Lin Ye rapidly combed through the entire Shenzhen based on personnel information obtained from the Demon Hunting Army.

In the end, he surprisingly identified nearly two hundred demons possessing the 'Key' identity.

Without exception, these individuals had their brains modified by the Flesh and Blood Demon God, with controlled brain regions identical to Tao Meng's.

This essentially confirmed, almost 100%, that these guys were the 'Keys', crucial for triggering a major disturbance in Shenzhen on that day.

"The information you've provided us over these days, we've already initiated secret surveillance."

Once more in the underground chamber of that café, Tu Mengmeng sat opposite Lin Ye, holding a list compiled from Lin Ye's intelligence.

Vaguely, the first name visible on the list was Liu Shangming.

Subsequent names were undoubtedly fruits of Lin Ye's diligent efforts over the past half month.

"Thank you for your hard work," Lin Ye nodded slightly.

"We should be thanking you, truly. Without your intervention, identifying who the 'Keys' actually were would have been impossible."

Tu Mengmeng replied with a hint of gratitude.

Truthfully speaking, although unclear how Lin Ye managed his assessments, his ability was undeniably powerful.

The intelligence Lin Ye provided even accurately pinpointed the demon rank of the 'Keys' and the identity of their Demon Lords.

This information was beyond the reach of the Demon Hunting Army, mostly conjecture until verified.

Yet, Lin Ye's intelligence boasted an astonishing 100% accuracy after verification!

If anyone within the Demon Hunting Army possessed capabilities akin to Lin Ye's, demons could hardly remain covert within human society.

As for monitoring the 'Keys' based on Lin Ye's information, it posed no additional burden to the Demon Hunting Army.

Many of these individuals were already under surveillance by the Demon Hunting Army.

Continuing to monitor them was no additional burden, requiring minimal manpower.

The benefits were significantly evident.

Everything appeared as if nothing had changed, not a single person would perceive anything amiss.

However, there still persisted a major question.

"What intrigues me most is how they meant to ensure I'd be in Shenzhen when the time came?" Lin Ye mused, tapping the table.

According to Tao Meng's intelligence, the Abyss Demon Gods orchestrated this tactic to ensnare Lin Ye.

Disregarding whether this was their true intent, the central question remains: how could the Demon Gods be so confident Lin Ye would be in Shenzhen precisely then?

Human society boasts numerous settlements, even if Lin Ye avoided those in smaller cities, he'd have near a hundred possible choices in second-tier settlements and above.

How were the Demon Gods so certain Lin Ye would be in Shenzhen?

"No rush, I'm guessing we'll find out soon enough," Lin Ye replied nonchalantly.

Ensuring Lin Ye's presence in Shenzhen wasn't terribly complex.

The crudest method would be to trigger a Spatial Rift below Level 40, prompting Professionals of this rank to quell the disturbance.

Of course, offering incentives to ensure no one hesitates to intervene would be ideal.

Set the event within half a month, so the challenge ends just prior to the Demon God's orchestrated disturbance, leaving no respite.

The unfolding sounded completely natural.

Confronting Lin Ye's calm demeanor left Tu Mengmeng puzzled, uncertain about the information Lin Ye might've uncovered.

Observing her bewilderment, Lin Ye shook his head.

This woman, hanging with that old sly dog Liang Houyun, who knows what he'd deceive her into...

"In recent days, outside Shenzhen, Space Rift number 412 'Plague Apocalypse' shows signs of potential disturbance!"

Lin Ye stated.

"Plague Apocalypse?" Tu Mengmeng flinched, having been engrossed in tracking the 'Keys' movements and personnel assignments, overlooking this particular intelligence.

Typically, managing Alternate Space Rift disturbances falls to the City Defense Army, not the Demon Hunting Army.

Now, hearing Lin Ye, she grasped and stated: "So you're saying the Demon Gods aim to tether you within Shenzhen using this Spatial Rift?"

"Exactly!" Lin Ye nodded.

"But... wait, how can the Demon Gods be so sure you'll be there?" Tu Mengmeng frowned.

"Heh... better to question those Church Court folks,"

Lin Ye sneered, "The Church Court dispatched a team yesterday; news quickly spread that the team encountered peril... Most crucial was a member carrying the Holy Artifact, Sunrise Holy Stele!"

Tu Mengmeng was stunned.

Without knowing that the Abyss Demon Gods plan to assault the entire Shenzhen in half a month, connecting this minor Alternate Space Rift event to lure Lin Ye would be challenging even for her.

It was unimaginable that the Church Court was conspiring with the Demon Gods...
