Bab 656: I shouldn't have come here...

Nine slumped onto a boulder with an exhausted expression. The others around him looked pretty ticked off.

"Alec... are you positive it's a spirit? Why does it vanish every time we get near it?"

Alec sighed and rubbed his forehead. They had been chasing the spirit for so long, but it always vanished to another spot the moment they got close.

"I'm sure it can somehow sense us, and it's not like the spirit would stick around in one place for us to catch it... It's fortunate I can accurately track its location; otherwise, we wouldn't even know it's on the move."

He sat down next to Nine and gave the man's back a comforting pat. Asher glanced at the group around him.

"We concealed our aura, but the spirit can still detect us. I'm sure it's pretty powerful."

Sinon flopped onto the ground too. He looked toward a far-off location.
