Chapter 570 Hidden Eyes
The moment he stared at the tentacle, chaotic and distorted ravings echoed in He Ao's mind, like the thoughts of countless people whispering in his ear.

This raving is so familiar, it is the raving brought about by the hidden existence He Ao saw in the mental hospital.

The curtain-like shadow tentacles in front of him seemed to be the extension of the power of that hidden existence.

However, the shadows that spread to this study do not seem to be as sensitive as those in the mental hospital, or maybe the power extending in this study is not dense enough.

Staring at these shadows, apart from bringing those chaotic ravings to He Ao, there is no feeling of being closely watched by a terrifying high-level being like in a mental hospital.

He Ao looked at these shadow tentacles, thought for a moment, then turned his head and looked in the direction of the living room.

The upper part of the living room is densely covered with slender shadow tentacles. They protrude from the void on the ceiling and entangle themselves on the ceiling, like the body of parasitic vines covered with tree crowns.

Just now He Ao passed under these dense shadow tentacles from high-ranking beings and entered the study.

He Ao turned his head, looked at the shadow covering the bookshelf like a curtain, and slowly stretched out his hand. When he was about to touch those shadow tentacles, these tentacles slowly faded to the sides like curtains that opened automatically, hiding opened his hand.

At the same time, some shadow tentacles lifted up and surrounded He Ao.

They are 'watching' Hoo.

At this moment, He Ao felt that some kind of power was trying to peel off his brain like a lotus flower bud, carefully prying into his deepest thoughts.

But these powers are a bit insignificant compared to the power he attracted when he faced the hidden existence when he was in the mental hospital.

These forces entered his consciousness, just like sinking into the sea, disappearing in the calm waves.

The power carried by these tentacles seems to be a part of that hidden existence, with the gaze of a hidden existence, but this gaze is not strong, and the pollution power it brings is not much.

But this 'not much' is relative to He Ao.

Any ordinary person, even a low-level transcendent, can easily be polluted and cause mental problems if he is under the prying eyes of such power for a long time.

He Ao's hand that touched the glass door of the bookcase paused for a moment, he looked around and was 'watching' his tentacles.

He suddenly understood why Jess's mother changed her mood after his father's death.

Those forces that tried to invade He Ao's mind did not force their way into his mind directly, but penetrated in a little bit, trying to influence his thinking, spy on his consciousness, and peel off his memory.

Its means are so gentle, like slow poison.

In a short period of one or two days, even ordinary people will not be aware of the problem.

These tentacles have not been here recently, they have always been here.

They were here after Jace's father died, and even before Jace's father died.

They are like pairs of eyes, covering every corner of the room, peeping into the lives of Jess' parents, prying into their thoughts, and prying into their memories.

This is the method that the mysterious man arranged in Jess's house to spy on the secret knowledge that Jess' parents knew.

He Ao turned off the super memory, and the whole world suddenly became quiet.

His hand was on the dusty bookcase door, and the silent bookcase seemed to be standing still.

He Ao was alone in the empty house.

But those forces constantly intruding into his consciousness reminded him that those tentacles didn't disappear, but he couldn't see them, they were still wrapped around him, 'watching' him.

However, these tentacles are not triggered all the time, and the power of that hidden existence seems to be limited, so the mysterious person probably only arranged trigger points at the most critical positions.

And this trigger point is the bookcase. Anyone who opens the bookcase will be spied on by these tentacles. The longer they stay in this room, the longer they will be spied on.

But from this point of view, since the mysterious man will use the bookcase as a trigger point, it proves that he believes that the bookcase is most likely to store those secret knowledge.

But there is a problem here, how did the mysterious man accurately locate the position of the bookcase?

Are these shadow tentacles themselves with a positioning effect?
He Ao looked at the living room outside, at this moment the tentacles in the living room were also hanging down, like vines hanging down densely in the forest.

Or has the mysterious person entered this room with some identity?

He Ao withdrew his gaze, he was still short of some key clues, the ability of the mysterious man really affected his thinking, and there was no suspicious person in Jess' memory.

Of course, it is also possible that the mysterious person cracked the smart lock and sneaked in here.

He Ao opened all the cabinet doors, touched the books in the bookcase with his fingers, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, took a few steps back, opened the distance, and opened the super memory again.

The dense shadow tentacles reappeared in his field of vision, He Ao passed through these tentacles, and landed on the bookshelf behind the tentacles.

All the books and the way they were arranged appeared in Ho Ao's mind.

Then He Ao turned off Super Memory, took a step forward, and stared at these books closely.

The details recorded in hypermemory were compared with the hazy memories in Jace's mind.

After his mother passed away, when Jess was cleaning the room, he took out every book and looked through it, but he couldn't find any clues.

And the arrangement of the bookcase now is very similar to the arrangement after Jess finished flipping through it.

Although the memory is a little fuzzy, He Ao can probably be sure that these books are the ones that Jess read and put back before, not one more, not one less.

He Ao thought for a moment, he stretched out his hand, and took down all these books, leaving only the empty bookshelf, he scanned the bookshelf with Super Memory, and there was nothing on the bookshelf.

There are no special marks or hidden symbols, only the traces of natural wear and tear. From those traces, He Ao can't see any intentional passwords.

However, this situation did not exceed He Ao's expectations. If the things left by Jess's father were so easy to find, it would be impossible for both Jess and the mysterious man not to find them.

The key to this event is that Jace's father wants to ensure that the knowledge can be seen by You-Know-Who's enemies who come to find it, but not by You-Know-Who.

Mysterious people are also superhumans, and they have strange abilities, and with the help of these tentacles from hidden existence, ordinary superhumans may not be as careful and sensitive as mysterious people, so what ordinary superhumans can see, mysterious people should also be able to see. See.

He Ao looked at these tentacles thoughtfully.

He temporarily left this study and entered other rooms.

The house that Jess' father bought was a small suite, a master bedroom, a second bedroom, and a study.

The master bedroom is Jess' parents' room, on the other side of the living room, and the study and second bedroom are on one side.

He Ao didn't enter the master bedroom this time, Jess's parents' master bedroom has been turned inside out by Jess.

Especially after finding the last letter from his mother, he even dismantled the wardrobe and the bed and carefully searched for the gaps.

Jess has already searched for everything that can be found physically.

So He Ao gave priority to entering the second bedroom where Jess lived.

Jess's second bedroom was very clean. After he married his wife Tini, Jess moved out and bought a small house outside. The items in this second bedroom are all childhood things.

The decoration of the second bedroom has hardly changed. After the death of his parents, Jess also searched his own second bedroom, but not carefully, because he put many things in the house.

Jess' parents seldom touch Jess's things, so apart from regular cleaning, the second bedroom is almost the same as it was when Jess left.

There are still a few old clothes in the closet, which are somewhat decayed and damaged, and the whole closet is full of airtight and musty smell.

When my mother was still there, she would help Jess clean out the closet every once in a while.

At that time, my mother would often take pictures and send them to Jess, telling him how much dust had accumulated on the closet, and the clothes hanging in the closet hadn’t been worn for a long time, and I wondered if Jess had gained weight.

Jess actually knew that it was because his mother missed him.

He Ao gathered up the broken chemical fiber rags, tidied up the wardrobe, and tidied it up.

Then he opened the small bookcase next to the wardrobe.

There are only a few simple books in the bookcase, and most of the other spaces are filled with various game consoles and electronic toys.

Jess also wants to read books hard, but who can resist the temptation of game consoles.

When he was a child, he was scolded by his mother a lot for this.

Every time he was scolded, his father laughed beside him, and even picked up his mobile phone to record it, saying that when he grew up, he would play it at his wedding.

Then the angry mother would arrest the father and train them together.

In the end, his father didn't play those videos at Jess's wedding. When Jess was arranging his father's belongings, he couldn't find the videos he recorded when he was a child in his father's cloud space.

Perhaps the father at that time was really just scaring the child.

He Ao picked up those game consoles, some game consoles were completely out of battery, and some game consoles were still able to operate normally, and several of Jess' favorite childhood games were still stored in them.

The dynamic music from the homepage of the game console rang in the empty room, and the glimmer of light flickered in the dark.

He Ao was silent for a moment, then turned off the game console.

He picked up those books.

These books are not serious popular science books, but a few story books similar to "unsolved mysteries" with a fantasy nature.

Jess couldn't remember the contents of the book at all. He Ao opened the book and glanced at it. It was all about simple ghosts.

But when he opened the last book, he paused.

Inside this book is a small chip.

He Ao was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he realized that this is a virtual bill storage card.

Tickets and tickets for most scenic spots in the Commonwealth are electronic, but travel is always meaningful. Many people like to collect their travel tickets, so something that stores such electronic tickets was born.

Jess' parents are one of those people who like to store electronic receipts.

Most of the time, people download an application for storing bills from the Internet, which can be updated directly online.

But for some people who don't have high-performance wristbands, or children whose parents don't want to buy high-performance wristbands for the time being, there are some cheap hardware devices that can be used as "ticket holders" for storing electronic bills.

This storage card is such a device, which is essentially a customized memory card, and all electronic receipts need to be imported by software.

However, as long as it is stored, any smart device can read the receipts inside, such as game consoles.

This card was inserted into the book when Jess was a child, and it stored the memory of Jess being taken on a trip by his parents.

When Jess was rummaging through things before, he also found this card, but he didn't pay attention, and went to find other things.

After more than ten years, I don't know if this card can still be used. In theory, as long as the memory chip of the Federation is not broken, it can be stored for a relatively long time.

He Ao picked up the game console just now, powered on the game console, and inserted this virtual receipt card into the game console.

Accompanied by a dynamic music, the bills inside were read out.

The closest ticket was for Jace's parents to take him to an amusement park, but that was more than 20 years ago.

Since that time, Jess has not used this receipt card, because his parents finally bought him a high-end smart bracelet.

It doesn't seem to be a problem.

He Ao pulled out the ticket card and turned off the game console.

He picked up this card and brought it to his eyes to see if he could find any clues.

This card is one of the few, Jess's parents will often operate things that belong to Jess.

Because they need to import the prepared bills through the software on the computer.

The exterior of the card is simple, with some faded plastic and conductive contacts exposed to the air.

The so-called conductive contacts are some metal sheets with strong conductivity. The metal sheets in the slot of the reading device are in contact with these conductive contacts to exchange data.

Under the "Eye of the Night" ability of the Terrorist, He Ao could clearly see that there seemed to be many small vertical scratches on the conductive contact piece, which seemed to be caused by frequent insertion of the game console, but these scratches were too shallow to be seen. clear.

He Ao thought for a moment, took this card and rummaged through the locker next to him, and found an electronic magnifying glass.

He turned on the magnifying glass and aimed it at the conductive contact of this card, and the details on the conductive contact appeared on the screen of the magnifying glass.

Then he found that most of these dense vertical scratches were long, but among these long scratches, there were several shorter scratches.

Both game consoles and computers have deep card slots, unless they are inserted a little and then pulled out suddenly, they will not cause such short scratches.

This scratch appears to be from another device.

Just when He Ao was thinking, his bracelet vibrated. It was a message from Hai Xi:

[It seems that there is a clue to the matter you asked me to investigate. Recently, someone has been buying the extraordinary materials you mentioned in large quantities, but the identity of the other party is very mysterious. My informant has no information about him, but I still have one in the Plantation District. 'Old friend', he's working for the biggest material smuggler in Wetland, he might know something. ]
He Ao thought for a while, held the card in his hand, and replied: [Is there anything I can do? ]
Hai Xi immediately replied: [No, I'm going to visit Plante right away, just to meet that friend, if I have any information, I'll contact you as soon as possible. ]
[Okay, sorry for the trouble]
He Ao replied and exited the message interface. Professional things should be done by professional people. Hai Xi sent this message to tell him that things have progressed.

At this moment, he looked at the bracelet in his hand and suddenly realized something.

Unlike game consoles, the wristbands are small in size, so most of them use magnetic suction hidden card slots. Usually the card slots are closed and can only be opened when in use.

Of course, not all wristbands will be equipped with this kind of card slot, and thin or cheap wristbands will generally not be equipped with this function.

And the bracelet that He Ao is currently using belongs to the latest flagship bracelet of Trisun Group, which happens to have this kind of card slot.

He Ao's eyes fell on the hidden card slot, and he slowly opened the card slot.

The card slot is very shallow, but it is a standard interface, and the virtual ticket card can also be inserted normally.

He inserted the virtual receipt card, and those short scratches were just covered by the card slot of the bracelet.

At this moment, the bracelet prompts the information of the new device access.

This card is read normally on the bracelet, and it is also ordinary receipt information.

He Ao thought for a moment, then said slowly, "Eve, analyze this card and read this card as a memory card."

"The system in the card is being cracked, wait a moment."

Eve's voice sounded quickly, and in a very short time, the page on the bracelet changed.

The originally exquisite bill interface has become the file reading interface of the original system.

"Hidden folder found, do you want to expand it?"

Eve's voice sounded immediately.

"Expand."

Ho nodded.

Immediately afterwards, a new folder unfolded in He Ao's field of vision.

Most of the files stored in this folder are videos.

He Ao randomly clicked on a video.

······
"You said, where did you go wrong?"

A female voice with a little anger echoed in the empty room.

Shaking camera, bright sunshine, wearing glasses, holding a shovel in hand, a polite woman with puffy cheeks.

The boy who was hiding on the sofa cautiously poked his head, and the person holding the camera had a gentle, low laugh.

"You laugh, you still laugh," the angry woman turned her head and looked at the camera, "I asked you to supervise the child's homework, and you didn't even see him playing games?"

The laughter behind the camera stopped abruptly.

The little boy behind the sofa smiled gloatingly.

······
He Ao turned off the video, looked at the densely packed dozens of similar videos in this data card, and fell silent for a moment.

He continued to flip the page down. At the end of the entire folder, it was not a video, but two bill documents and a hotel order.

The ticket documents are two empty boat tickets to Dawn City.

One was bought in Jace's name and one was bought in Jace's mother's name.

The purchase was made 12 years ago, the morning before Jess' father had an accident.

There are very few such long-distance routes, and tickets are not easy to buy. The departure time of the empty boat is about three days after the purchase time.

The hotel reservation was also made in the name of Jess and Jess's mother, from the day when the empty boat ticket was purchased to the day when the empty boat departed.

And the last time this folder was written was the morning before Jess' father had an accident.

He Ao raised his head and looked around, he knew that invisible tentacles were hanging down beside him.

He finally knew where Jace's father 'stored' that knowledge.

　Later, the next chapter should still be at midnight. After that letter, there should be a lottery egg chapter, but I don’t know why it didn’t come out. It’s Schrödinger’s bug.
