Hidden Moth

Chapter 81: The Mystery Unveiled Flowers Bloom Before Me (Part 2)


After all, that position can't be left empty waiting for him forever; someone has to take on the leadership work too. Quite a few of us here were already displeased with Old Qian's sudden promotion, and recently several are actively trying to take Old Qian's spot.

They probably can't wait for Old Qian to not be discharged. How can Old Qian be so unlucky? Can he return in time?"

He Kao comforted, "Fortune always favors the good, don't worry, Old Qian will be fine."

Huang Xiaopang indeed doesn't remember he used to be a Hidden Moth. Supposedly a big change, yet he hasn't seemed to change much...

After leaving the company, He Kao walked to Jinxing Media. According to the navigation, it was less than five kilometers away, giving him a chance to practice the Stealth Skill along the way.

The cultivation requirements for various techniques differ. The Fundamental Technique of the Hidden Moth Sect, Insect Concealment Skill, must be practiced in a seated meditation each night, roughly considered a form of 'Inner Strength'.

The so-called diligent practice mainly refers to persistence and focus, but for a Tier One Sorcerer, maintaining the state for any longer than a day depends on the individual.

In other times, one can cultivate applied techniques beyond the Fundamental Technique. He Kao is currently practicing the Communication Skill and Stealth Skill, both of which can advance alongside cultivation.

The Sensory Communication Technique is a comprehensive skill with high initial requirements, involving internal training during seated meditation and external training in daily activities, usually in conjunction with the Stealth Skill.

The Stealth Skill mainly focuses on external training. Walking on the sidewalk, He Kao is in a state of concealment, his presence seemingly low while his senses intertwine and grow sharper.

People passing by can see him, but hardly notice him, with no obvious impression afterward. The Stealth Skill doesn't render him completely undetectable but reduces the likelihood of being noticed.

He Kao passed several bus stops and traversed a large mall, and even the usual people handing out flyers seemed to unconsciously ignore him. On days past, his hands would be filled with flyers walking through there.

When 'practicing' the Stealth Skill, it's best to choose crowded places; but when 'using' it, better to pair with environments unlikely to attract attention, focusing on these two different aspects.

Entering the building where Jinxing Media is located, the lobby has security gates. He Kao slipped in without registering or swiping a card, following the person in front.

The security guard subconsciously assumed he worked there, entering with colleagues; the person ahead didn't notice, not even turning to look.

The door to Jinxing Media's office area was open. He Kao walked in as if window-shopping. He'd been here twice before and was familiar, though he'd never been to Peng Xian's office.

The receptionist was engrossed in her phone, not noticing anyone passing by.

Although not a small company, there were forty-two people in this office area at the moment. Five were likely customers handling affairs, much like He Kao.

If a regular employee doesn't show up for two days, a department head would definitely look for them. But if the company boss is absent, it's business as usual for the staff.

As long as last month's salary is paid, and next month's salary is expected to be paid as usual.

Peng Xian often mysteriously disappears from the office for several days; these are not concerns for employees.

He had also instructed the staff earlier that due to dealing with post-holiday issues, he might not be reachable and that there was no need to contact him unnecessarily... so the current situation is quite normal.

Originally, according to Zhao Hai Zhen and others' plan, succeeding in capturing the Hidden Moth meant subsequent details to handle. Not only confirming and obtaining the Hidden Moth Object, but ideally also leaving one alive to understand its use.

They wouldn't remain in the trouble-prone Qi Yuan but would move to an unnoticeable safe location, discussing cooperation on using the Hidden Moth Object, distributing benefits, and maintaining secrecy.

All these preparations have turned out to be futile.

Still, Jinxing Media continues to operate normally. Peng Xian specifically appointed a general manager to handle daily operations, ready to shoulder the blame if needed.

With Boss Peng absent, the general manager takes charge, finding the position quite enjoyable and is also currently out on business.

He Kao passed through a large office filled with semi-divided workstations, unnoticed by anyone inside, all assuming he's there on business with a colleague.

Entering another office area, someone finally noticed as he approached Peng Xian's office door. A young lady stood up from her desk, saying, "Xiaohu, what brings you here?"

He Kao's stealth finally failed; the Stealth Skill, in this situation, was ineffective. At Peng Xian's office door, walking directly towards it, being recognized made him impossible to ignore.

He Kao: "Assistant Wang, hello! The leadership asked me to deliver a document for President Peng. Is President Peng in?"

Assistant Wang: "President Peng has been busy and hasn't been here in days. What document is it? Does it need immediate attention from us?"

He Kao: "There's nothing to handle, just a completed project confirmation sheet that only requires his signature later on."
