Chapter 742: Chapter 630: Capture

After the message of the barrier completion arrived, Jeming stood up from the fountain and withdrew his dissipated spiritual power.

The half-hour continuous scanning did not put much mental burden on him, but continuously sorting out the destiny line made him quite exhausted.

Fortunately, with the assistance of the Fate System, it is still within the bearable range.

"Even if the form of life has transformed into an informational being, controlling fate is still quite difficult..."

Jeming sighed, moving his neck slightly, bones making subtle clicking sounds, then headed towards the designated gathering point by the warlock in the dark blue robe.

The gathering point was set in a fruit storage room on the north side of the town.

This was a half-buried stone building, maintaining a cool and dry environment all year round for storing the autumn harvest fruits.

At the moment, the storage room interior had been cleared, the originally stacked wooden boxes moved to the wall side, leaving a considerable empty space at the center.

When Jeming pushed the door to enter, most of the other eight wizards had already arrived.

The storage room was filled with a faint sweet aroma of fruit fermentation mixed with the moist smell of stone walls.

Several glowing crystals were embedded on the walls, emitting a soft cold light, making the entire space bright but not blinding.

The warlock in the dark blue robe stood in the center, holding a palm-sized crystal test tube.

The test tube contained half a tube of blue liquid, the color was deep, almost opaque, with small ripples occasionally appearing on the surface, as if some unseen force was stirring it.

"This is..." Jeming approached, his gaze falling on the test tube.

"The core of the bait." The warlock in the dark blue robe raised the test tube, letting the cold light penetrate the blue liquid, "I collected the genetic information of all the town’s people, condensed in this tube of solution."

"Everyone? Including us wizards?" Jeming slightly raised an eyebrow, "When did you collect it?"

"Except for you, the other wizards have also been collected, mainly done while setting up the barrier," the warlock smiled, with a hint of High Tier Wizard’s serenity in his smile.

"My specialization is bioinformatics, collecting genetic material is as natural to me as breathing. The samples from the townspeople come from their fallen hair, dandruff, saliva, etc. As for everyone here..."

He looked at the other wizards present: "I have already mentioned while setting up the barrier, I can also establish a covenant to ensure these genetic informations are not used elsewhere."

The wizards nodded, no one showed displeasure.

Although for wizards, handing over their body tissues or genetic information to another wizard is somewhat taboo.

But since the other party is willing to establish a covenant, and it’s collected for reaching the goal by taking teammates’ genetic information...

Though it slightly crosses conventional social boundaries, considering the target value of this hunt, this minor offense is entirely acceptable.

"These genetic materials are concentrated in this tube of ’Information Solvent,’" the warlock continued, "The blue liquid is a special medium, capable of maintaining the activity of genetic information while simulating a ’big family’ illusion. Inside this test tube, the townspeople’s genetic information is woven into a massive family tree, everyone can find their position on this tree."

"So to that anomaly, this test tube is like a container filled with ’potential victims.’" The Cursed Witch stepped out from the corner, her pale gray eyes under the hood staring at the test tube, her tone carrying a hint of appreciation, "It only needs to manifest to access the entire town’s genetic information at once."

"Exactly so." The warlock nodded, "Moreover, I specially arranged various seasoning jars next to it..."

He pointed to the stone platform beside the test tube.

A row of clay jars was placed on the stone platform, of varying sizes, totaling over ten jars.

Salt jar, sugar jar, pepper jar... each one had its mouth open, the seasonings inside emitting their respective scents.

"To give it a familiar crime environment." The warlock said, "Salt jar is its first choice, but I’ve placed other seasoning jars too, wanting to see if it has other preferences."

Jeming thought for a moment, and also signed a covenant with the other party, subsequently handing over his genetic information.

"Do you need me to do anything else?" Jeming asked.

The warlock in the dark blue robe looked at him: "You possess knowledge of the Destiny Element. We need you to use destiny methods to connect everyone’s destiny line as closely as possible with this crystal test tube, ensuring that this thing won’t have any flaw in terms of fate. Then search for the destiny line related to the anomaly, ensuring it notices here."

Jeming pondered briefly, nodded: "I can give it a try."

A gleam flashed across his forehead, the Fate System operating at full throttle.

The information processing network constructed by Incense Fire Divine Dao unfolded in the depths of his consciousness, countless destiny lines extending from the virtual network, hovering in the air like spider silk.

Jeming’s spiritual power probed into these destiny lines, began sorting them with the genetic information in the crystal test tube one by one.

This wasn’t a simple process, after all Jeming’s knowledge of the Destiny Element was also just getting started.

Luckily, Jeming had the Fate System.

This information processing network constructed by Incense Fire Divine Dao is most adept at handling such matters.

With the assistance of the Fate System, Jeming sorted the destiny lines of the entire town meticulously, categorizing them according to genetic information’s familial ties, social relationship proximity, and even residential location’s distance, connecting them to the crystal test tube.
