Chapter 1208: Chapter 1207: Masters of Gate Escape Armor
There are people skilled in Gate Escape Armor by the old man’s side, so it was natural for the first thought to be about the array. Hence, Xia Xi used the process of elimination and confirmed that it wasn’t an array.
"Arrays usually protect the central position. Judging by the image, it indeed doesn’t look like an array."
Gu Tong thought for a moment and then said, "The old man’s personality is hard to fathom; it’s difficult for most people to read his thoughts, and he might act unexpectedly."
Although Gu Tong had not yet confronted the old man directly, she could sense his unusual style of conduct.
"I think the same. The old man has a peculiar character; no one can truly decipher his intentions and thoughts. This is why we’re in a stalemate now."
Xia Xi pursed her lips before continuing, "Of course, this matter can be temporarily set aside. Ultimately, we need to observe firsthand to determine the result."
What they’re seeing now is only a picture. They can’t be certain of the real situation around them, and only a field investigation at the cemetery will yield the final result.
On this matter, Gu Tong and Xia Xi share the same view.
Gu Tong stated evenly, "For now, we definitely can’t go out. We can only wait until night."
Currently, they are staying here under the guise of being relatives of Chen Pi. Few people in the village recognize them, which makes it likely that they will be treated as outsiders.
"The cemetery is indeed quite remote, making it suitable for exploration only at night." Xia Xi chuckled lightly, pointed at the picture, and said, "Let me tell you, these positions are where guard posts interconnect. The villagers routinely watch these spots, and if they notice outsiders entering, they will immediately take preventive measures."
When I came here before, I checked their connection points; however, I don’t know if they’ve changed now. I’m considering whether to probe them again today."
Acting rashly poses a risk. If everything is to proceed safely, it must be done gradually and in an organized manner.
Xia Xi didn’t mind the trouble; she could slowly investigate and find a breakthrough to resolve the issue.
Gu Tong thought for a moment and said, "These connection points must be confirmed. The issue is that there’s a curfew now, meaning they’ve intensified their precautions. Since we’re exploring at night, we must act very cautiously."
Never underestimate the villagers’ defense. Since they’ve implemented such strict curfew measures, not allowing any outsiders to enter, it should indicate that they are fully prepared.
If anything unexpected happens, they might find themselves targeted by the entire village.
Never underestimate a whole village. The villagers are very united, and facing them all at once is a scenario easy to imagine.
Xia Xi agreed with this statement: "So tonight we’ll first go to have a look; see if there’s any problem. Once we have a grasp of the situation, it’ll be easier for our second attempt."
Their plan is orderly, and everything has been prepared according to the rules. As long as no problems occur in-between, they can ensure the safety of their actions.
Gu Tong and Xia Xi have come through dangerous situations before, and naturally, they understand the risks involved. They wouldn’t fight an unprepared battle.
All aspects of the plan have been largely finalized; now all that remains is to wait for the operation tonight.
They both agreed on replenishing their energy and strength.
