Once locked by divine sense, Hidden Moth could no longer disappear? Upon hearing this shout, He Kao suddenly realized something: Why was Hidden Moth never discovered when using his ability?

Because once discovered, he couldn't use it! It was baffling at first, but once understood, the reason turned out to be so simple.

He Kao recalled when the masked man was outside, he clearly exited the pedestrian street, but then took a few steps forward back to the initial position, hesitated a bit, then turned to run. It was a very strange move.

Could it be that Hidden Moth's ability has other restrictions, such as having to disappear from where he appeared? The masked man didn't successfully disappear at that time, possibly because He Kao could still perceive him...

In that case, he actually did a disservice.

Gao Xue'e had been safely relocated, He Kao successfully escaped with a gun in hand, regaining his composure, and thinking rapidly about so much.

This wasn't mere speculation, but also depended on previous observation.

It seems Hidden Moth truly needs to return to the initial place of appearance to disappear again, thereby using that mysterious ability. Otherwise, it can't be explained why the masked man took such a roundabout way just to come back, just to save himself and President E?

Eliminating these kidnappers before rescuing the hostages was meaningless, otherwise, safely taking them away wouldn't be achievable, he likely had other intentions.

One must admit He Kao is skilled at observation and meticulous; today, he guessed correctly once again... Though, perhaps his flaw is being too deep-minded.

He fired seven shots in the indoor pedestrian street earlier, inadvertently assisting the masked man. Those sorcerers acted swiftly and pursued tightly, if not for fearing the power of the shotgun, they might have caught up with the masked man long ago.

During the encirclement, upon hearing gunshots from the indoor pedestrian street behind them, they were startled, unsure of what happened, hesitating to act rashly, giving the masked man an opportunity to circle around and return.

In a blink, the masked man already approached, leapt through a window into the commercial pedestrian street, and fired another shot while lying at the window.

The shotgun has a very short range, usually effective at no more than fifty meters, and in practical situations, the effective distance might be only a dozen meters. The accuracy while running is even worse, only creating an intimidating effect.

So those people pursued closely, maintaining but not closing a few dozen meters distance, while the divine sense always locked onto him.

Seeing him lying at the window firing, the threat should be much greater than during the run, the kidnapper at the front also dared not be careless, dodged hiding behind a tree.

From afar came what seemed like Zhao Hai Zhen's voice: "He only has one bullet left!" The shotgun usually holds five rounds, this one also wasn't an exception, he had already fired four shots, Zhao Hai Zhen uncovered his circumstances.

Just as Zhao Hai Zhen finished speaking, three more shots echoed from the corner of the building. The pursuer hiding behind the tree first let out a scream, and then went silent.

Besides Old Hong and his gang of hooligans, there were twelve kidnappers in the commercial pedestrian street earlier, five Tier Three Sorcerers, six Tier Two Sorcerers, and one Entry Level Xiaotao.

The masked man eliminated one Tier Three Sorcerer with the shotgun, remaining were four Tier Three Sorcerers mastering the divine sense, previously tailing and encircling from different directions, advancing alternately to lock onto the masked man, preventing him from escaping.

As Old Qian said, divine sense isn't all-powerful; it's like an extension of awareness, sensing actively is required for detection. The person behind the tree focused solely on the masked man, failing to notice the ambush by He Kao.

That kidnapper hid behind the tree, yet exposed half his body to He Kao's angle. He Kao stabilized against the wall corner, kneeled on one knee holding the gun with both hands, firing three shots steadily; not because he didn't want to fire a fourth, but simply due to running out of bullets.

The gunfire knocked down one person, those in the back were also startled, retreated seeking cover, fearing getting hit by a sniper, for the moment, no one dared approach.

Hidden Moth unexpectedly had an ally, and this ally had a gun too. From the looks of it, remaining associates in the commercial street were not likely fortunate, some kidnappers began contemplating escape.

Now it seemed not a matter of capturing Hidden Moth, but preserving one's own life from being eliminated by him.

The masked man took advantage, leaving the window and running back to the pedestrian street. Although He Kao hadn't perceptually sensed, he could hear footsteps. The footsteps paused where the masked man initially appeared, only to re-emerge after a while, still returning to the ambushed window side.

This time, the masked man's gun was changed to an assault rifle, and he wore a tactical vest with three magazines inserted in front, resembling a battle god in chicken dinner shooting games, albeit appearing somewhat breathless, slightly tarnishing his image.

While someone far away just attempted to move, crouched when half getting up, a burst of bullets was fired towards them, among which were tracer rounds clearly visible from the shooter's perspective.

The masked man's initial shots hadn't hit, yet in a burst, correcting the trajectory, swiftly taking down the target, murmuring: "Too bad I didn't get the night vision!"

Earlier in the indoor pedestrian street, he used a submachine gun and shotgun, more suited for close combat.

At this moment, lying behind the window sill and looking out from this direction, outside was a field overgrown with weeds and shrubs, further out were the Ferris wheel and roller coaster. The assault rifle, however, was a larger power, and longer range suppressive weapon.
