Chapter 1986: The Search in the Caves -Part 1
It was located off Mumbai and the GPS location stated that he was in some fairly famous location called Bhaja Caves.
And it was precisely he knew it was a tourist location because he saw a modern litter that did should not exist in a remote place. Still, the best place to hide or run might actually be a tourist area since it provided a sufficient amount of subterfuge than a remote town where a newcomer would already have eyes all over him.
"At the very least according to the time, it passed the tourist visiting hours," Kraft said as he took a while to appreciate the ancient Buddhist carvings on the walls and the architecture a little before he called out his Night Foxes. Five emerged from the shadows and knelt down in a line, waiting for the orders. "Search for the culprits.
If he is a Banned Emperor Terrorist, you all should be more than trained to sniff out the kind of chi he emits."
"Yes, My Lord." The night Foxes said as they dispersed into the shadows of the caves and Kraft walked out of the once magnificent cavern, now preserved to a certain extent because of the commercial value it had for being an ancient Buddhist site.
"For a Banned Emperor Terrorist to hide around here… That\'s a little uncanny." Kraft said as he now summoned the Sun Foxes. Unlike the Night Foxes which emerged through the shadows, the Sun Foxes merely did a diffusion between their location and the location that Kraft commanded them to emerge out from it.
So, it looked as if the Sun Foxes were blended into reality when they were merely phasing and teleporting from one location to another. Kraft looked at them with a certain disgust mainly due to the fact that he had not trained them to a particular standard. Yet, at the same time, he wants to know if they could be ready even before he deems them as ready.
"Look for the Chinese Intelligence Assault Force. Tail them and report every movement to me as short and sweet as possible."
"Yes, My Lord." The Sun Foxes shivered a little at the end of the sentence before they proceeded out. Kraft gave a short click at the end when all of the Sun Foxes had left, only to inadvertently compare them with the Night Foxes. Surely, he knows they would be at a disadvantage when it comes to physical movements since the High Elves were more adept at magic rather than physical fights.
However, he heard of stories that the High Elf Assassins can be as deadly as a Night Elf Assassin. Ultimately, it ends up just how much they train.
Though as soon as he was thinking whether he should teleport himself to a nearby town for some grub, one of the Night Foxes alerted him that he might have found a potential cultivator that suits the requirements of being a Banned Emperor Terrorist. The only problem was that his skin colour was not as they expected from a Banned Emperor Terrorist.
"Pfft. What kind of observation is that?" Kraft lolled but the Night Fox who had reported it apologised, stating that the only Banned Emperor Terrorists he had encountered were mainly Chinese, the same race as the Banned Emperor\'s origins.
"But this guy is dark skinned. I did not wish to report it at first though my gut feeling is telling me otherwise." The Night Fox replied and Kraft laughed, knowing that it was not his fault to think that way.
"If you think about it, this would have made things even much easier for this particular Banned Emperor Terrorist to secretly sabotage Italy. Because a Chinese would have stood out more than a dark skinned fellow in Rome." Kraft tried to reason the theory of why the Italians were still unable to find a match to that.
"In any case, are there Sun Foxes around that area? What\'s your status?" Kraft asked and two of them reported were on the lookout but currently no official Chinese cultivators were detected. "You sure about that?" Kraft asked as a confirmation, not knowing that when he asked that question, it felt like he was giving them the death stare.
That was why when they answered, they made sure that they were doing it in a careful manner.
The Night Foxes on the channel heard it and only knew that they were still not cut out for helping Kraft in the field as of now. Because, no matter how strong you are, if one of them gives a weak and cautious answer, all they have is a whooping waiting for them when they complete the mission.
But perhaps, they might be lucky this time around as Kraft might have become distracted when he saw the shining opportunity to hit the Banned Emperor Terrorist before the Chinese Intelligence Officers that came in.
The ability to manipulate minds was his forte and Kraft could not resist putting his hand on that terrorist and learning something from him. But if they got the wrong suspect, then too bad. Just a little reverse psych from the Night Foxes should be able to put the possible victim back to their original state. However, that also depends on whether Kraft was willing to have mercy or not.
Hence when Kraft entered the area, he quickly pounced on the potential Banned Emperor Terrorist and hit him with a mind blackout while accessing every single information he could obtain from him. "Oh my.
Good job, my dear Night Foxes, it looks like you hit the jackpot~!" Kraft said as he placed his hand straight into the mongrel\'s face and started to see what good things he might have in store for him.
"Hmm… Hmmm. This is rather fascinating. There is actually an entire organisation of Banned Emperor Terrorists not just within China but all over the world!" Kraft said with a tinge of sarcasm inside. He knew that they were operating in various parts of the world but he knew that it was a lie created by the Banned Emperor Initiations.
A wall of lies that prevented people from going deeper into their minds because of all the useless wasteful information that was being spread to protect the secrets a veteran Banned Emperor Terrorist would have.
That was why Kraft said that he hit the jackpot because each and every veteran banned Emperor Terrorists had the same mental barrier that protected them. At first, they thought they hit the jackpot but after catching enough Banned Emperor terrorists, they then realised it was their mode of operation.
It just varied in the type of useless bad info that came out from it initially but dig deep enough, the patient would be able to get the information they wanted.
"Let\'s see how deep can this rabbit hole go." Kraft chuckled as he figuratively put his hand through the barriers of nonsensical information and found something that was not commonly seen in the sea of bad information.
Thus, Kraft quickly sent it to the System for verification since he could not possibly know all of the combinations of fake information that the Banned Emperor Terrorists were having….and it was a hit.
A piece of genuine information that the System happily sent to all of the Night Foxes, Sun Foxes, and Kraft the location of a possible hideout that the Banned Emperor Terrorists might have been residing within the area of Bhaja Caves.
The only problem was that the hideout was close to the tourist site and if a fight ensued, there would surely be an uproar between the Indians and the Chinese when it comes to that. Not to mention, an unsanctioned strike without letting the Indian government officials know? It was the perfect excuse for a melting pot of political problems to happen and the System does not want that.
Even Kraft being the chaos incarnate would also understand the ramifications if the Chinese Strike Team was not able to bring down the Terrorists properly. And to add on the uncertainty that there might be sleepers within the strike team? This brings the melting pot to a brand new level.
"As much as I want to see that brand new level, is the System going to do something about it? Or shall I really introduce that brand new level? That would bring a smile to Jin\'s face, no?"
"Please do not be stupid. The System will provide your newly Sun Foxes some resources and System Points if you are able to clear this quietly."
That was why System was actually going to release a small reward for Kraft and his Foxes if they managed to get the situation well contained without any serious \'fireworks\'. And for that, the Devil Fox compiled, knowing that a stingy System giving a reward out was better than doing this without anyway rewards.
