My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1061 Kidnapping Evidence
At the same time, in another upscale residential area of ​​Xinbinhai City, a human head emerged from the bushes in the green belt of an apartment building.

The owner of the severed head was none other than the newly minted scumbag Yun Zhongzi.

The Demon Alliance's Skynet system was so powerful that Yun Zhongzi had no choice but to use his trump card—the Earth Escape Technique.

In the military field, the Demon Alliance certainly has means to defend against the Earth-遁术 (Earth-遁术) breakthrough, but in the civilian security field, for various reasons, the monitoring of the Earth-遁术 is relatively weak.

The most important factor is cost. Ground penetrating radar has a limited detection range. To expand the range, the power must be increased, which in turn produces extremely high radiation levels.

The excessive installation of ground-penetrating radar in cities can seriously affect the health of residents.

Yun Zhongzi dared not show his face in public, where cameras were everywhere, so he could only use his earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to hide and sneak into the upscale residential area) like a ground rat.

Breaking through the security of a small residential area in a third-rate city of the Demon Alliance was several times more difficult for Yun Zhongzi than infiltrating the heavily guarded Shang army camp back then.

He could have easily infiltrated the Heavenly Court, sneaked into the Lingxiao Palace, and stolen the Jade Emperor's crystal lamp without such difficulty.

Emerging from the ground, Yun Zhongzi dared not rashly unleash his divine sense to sweep through the area. Instead, he relied on his keen eyesight, typical of a Golden Immortal, to quietly observe the layout of the community's security cameras.

Fortunately, he had lived in the upscale neighborhood where Xiao Jie lived for a while, and he gradually figured out the pattern of security in the Demon Alliance's upscale communities. Generally speaking, the security was tight on the outside but loose on the inside.

Residents of these upscale communities place great importance on personal privacy, resulting in a significantly smaller number of security cameras within the community, and none of them are connected to the Skynet system.

If connected to Skynet, AI will monitor the surveillance footage 24/7 and issue an alert immediately if any abnormality is detected.

Yun Zhongzi was unsure whether the neighborhood had installed any mystical energy detectors, so he kept his magical power to a minimum and didn't even dare to launch a divine sense probe rashly.

In a city where 70% of the citizens are transformed demons, with the lowest level being Foundation Establishment, Golden Core demons roaming everywhere, and Immortal-level demon kings as common as dogs, and every demon possesses at least one magical talent or supernatural power, one can imagine how difficult it would be for the police to maintain order.

Especially for criminal investigators who are dedicated to criminal investigation, the pressure is immense. Many crimes involving supernatural powers are so complex that even if Sherlock Holmes and Conan formed the golden duo and used basic deductive reasoning to its fullest extent, they would not be able to deduce the murder method of a flying sword taking someone's head from thousands of miles away.

In order to prevent problems before they occur, in addition to setting up the Skynet system and installing AI-powered cameras everywhere for 24/7 monitoring, we can only set up a large number of metaphysical energy detectors to keep an eye on any abnormal metaphysical energy fluctuations emanating from the city. Once an abnormal fluctuation point is detected, if the Skynet cameras cannot cover it, drones will be dispatched immediately to the scene for close reconnaissance.

By visual observation, Yun Zhongzi confirmed the location of the probe used in his earth-penetrating technique, which was in a blind spot of the surveillance system.

Even so, Yun Zhongzi did not dare to rashly emerge from the ground. Instead, he remained crouched quietly, with only half of his head showing, waiting for time to pass.

It's still early, and many residents are still out in the common areas of the community. They are quite sensitive to unfamiliar faces in this semi-enclosed community and will notify the security guards immediately.

Fearing detection by the metaphysical energy detector, Yun Zhongzi dared not use his invisibility spell. While setting up a stall in the government affairs hall, he secretly learned that the metaphysical energy detector was most sensitive to the fluctuation frequency of invisibility spells, and once it detected the fluctuation of that frequency, it would directly alarm without investigation and dispatch police officers carrying anti-invisibility equipment to arrest him.

After all, invisibility and the ability to pass through walls are the easiest spells for criminals to exploit.

Who in their right mind would cast an invisibility spell on themselves? The least serious crime a suspicious person commits is voyeurism or indecent assault. During his stakeout, Yun Zhongzi repeatedly confirmed his calculations, confirming that the human man he had seen in the photo was indeed in this neighborhood, and his approximate location was now largely determined.

Yun Zhongzi was, after all, a deity. His ability to calculate and conjure up whatever he wanted was a basic skill for any deity.

However, this kind of divination and fortune-telling is not really about getting whatever you want. It cannot be used to predict alien creatures that are outside the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements.

For example, even among all the gods and Buddhas in the world, only a very few could deduce the origins of the Six-Eared Macaque.

Yun Zhongzi had tried to calculate the origins of Xiao Jie and the other demonic insect girls, but to no avail. This entire race was an unorthodox species, and even the gods could not deduce their origins. Their information was not in the database of the Heavenly Dao Search Engine.

While he couldn't predict the fate of the demonic insect race, Yun Zhongzi could easily predict the information of a mortal.

Based solely on the facial features in the photograph, Yun Zhongzi used his physiognomy skills to deduce a large amount of personal information. Combined with the divination techniques of King Wen, he quickly located Zhao Mingcheng's home address.

Coincidentally, Zhao Mingcheng also lived in the same city as Xiao Jie, and his residential area was not far from Xiao Jie's.

What Yun Zhongzi didn't know was that Xiao Jie's decision to settle in Xinbinhai City after graduation was actually her own choice, made because she had a crush on her teacher Zhao Mingcheng, and it wasn't a coincidence.

Unfortunately, Teacher Zhao and his wife had a harmonious relationship, which gave Xiao Jie no chance to steal him away. She could only wait silently and suffer in silence, hoping for a long time that her teacher would be widowed soon.

It was only in recent years that Xiao Jie gradually came to terms with things and tried to start a second relationship, but unexpectedly, her love life was still not smooth, and she fell in love with another older man she shouldn't have loved.

After squatting under the bushes in the community for a long time, Yun Zhongzi finally waited until the dark and windy late night. During this time, he was almost peed on by a dog led by an inconsiderate dog walker in the community.

With no one around and the night deep in the air, Yun Zhongzi emerged from the ground and crept stealthily toward the apartment building where his target was located.

His plan for sneaking here today was to kidnap Zhao Mingcheng, take him to the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, and present him to the Primordial Heavenly Lord as a witness to Wen Rui's collusion with the Demon Insect Clan, thus exposing Wen Rui's conspiracy.

As for why Yun Zhongzi resolutely rejected Venerable Kasyapa's plan to kidnap the demon insect girl, but then double-standarded by kidnapping Zhao Mingcheng himself...

Yun Zhongzi had his own reasons.

As a human, Zhao Mingcheng would not have to worry about being subjected to inhuman abuse even if he were taken to Mount Ling or Jade Void Palace.

The gods and Buddhas of the Chan Sect and the Western Sect are far more tolerant of the human race than the demon race. Even if Zhao Mingcheng commits a serious crime by helping Wen to do evil, as long as he repents in time, he will not only not be punished, but may even receive rewards including but not limited to becoming an immortal or being conferred a god.

Even if demons and monsters atone for their sins, the best outcome is that they are kept as dogs. If they are unlucky, the gods and Buddhas will curse them as "wicked beasts" and send them to be reincarnated. The greatest reward is being granted the right to be reborn as a human in the next life.
