Come with us

The shriveled, severed hand lay on the ground, making Su Ran feel a bit physically uncomfortable. It didn’t look like something that belonged to a living person at all.

However, thinking that this was something left behind by the masked person who had attacked her, Su Ran could only endure the discomfort, manipulating the moisture from the air to condense into ice crystals and encase it.

There was still some time before the security officers would arrive at her room. Su Ran opened the Witch Game and contacted Isa.

“Her Highness Su Ran, what’s wrong?”

The environment Isa was in on the screen was not the original cabin, nor did it look like the Blackstone City that Philly had mentioned.

“Isa, I need to ask you, is there a way to track someone using things like hair or fingernails?”

Originally, Su Ran had wanted to capture the masked person and have the security officers investigate his motives.

But the other party seemed unwilling to be caught, directly raising his strength to the peak of Sequence Two. Faced with this level of power, Su Ran could only manage to protect herself.

Cutting off a hand as he fled was already a testament to her exquisite grasp of battlefield timing.

But this didn’t mean Su Ran was going to let the tiger back into the mountains, allowing him to hide in the dark. Whether it was the impending arrival of the security officers or asking Isa for a tracking method, it was all a demonstration of Su Ran wanting to seize the initiative.

Isa carefully considered Su Ran’s question in her mind, searching for a solution, before replying with guilt, “There is a magic potion that can achieve the effect you’re talking about, but with my current Sequence Two magic essence, I don’t have enough to support the entire brewing process.”

Faced with Her Highness Su Ran’s question, Isa understood. This was Her Highness hinting that she needed to meditate harder and reach Sequence Three as soon as possible.

‘Her Highness Su Ran, in order to tactfully point out that my cultivation speed is too slow, specifically mentioned needing a tracking potion to hint at me.’

‘Otherwise, the great Witch Lord surely has many ways to solve this problem and wouldn’t need to ask me.’

Thinking of Her Highness Su Ran’s hint, Isa made up her mind to break through to Sequence Three as soon as possible before they set off.

Isa had found a way, but she couldn’t brew it yet, which put Su Ran in a difficult position.

If this dragged on, who knew what variables might arise with that masked person.

If possible, Su Ran hoped to deal with that masked person herself, rather than passively waiting for news.

Su Ran glanced at her own long, slender fingertips and suddenly had an idea.

Thus, Su Ran asked, “Isa, your magic essence can’t support the entire brewing process. But what if your magic essence recovery speed were to increase? Could you brew it then?”

“If my magic essence recovery speed could be increased, then I could indeed brew it. But ordinary potions require me to divert my attention to drink them, which would affect my brewing process.”

Faced with Her Highness Su Ran’s hypothesis, Isa voiced her concerns.

Isa’s concerns were no problem for her at all.

At this moment, on her slender finger, an exquisite ring was quietly worn.

It was the bonus reward she had received from pulling the “Witch’s Meditation Technique,” the Ring of Pride.

It could increase the recovery speed of magic essence. In the battle just now, Su Ran, wearing the ring, had hardly experienced a state of magic essence depletion.

She figured that if she gave the ring to Isa, with the increased magic essence recovery speed, she should be able to brew the tracking potion she wanted.

Just as Su Ran was about to pass the Ring of Pride to Isa, she found that she couldn’t send the ring in her palm over at all.

[Hint: If the Host wishes to send the Ring of Pride to Isa for use, a 999 yuan isolation package must be purchased.]

Looking at the prompt that popped up from the system, the pink blush on Su Ran’s pretty face couldn’t help but twitch.

‘Is it really not taking advantage of the situation?’

However, in order to get the tracking potion as soon as possible, Su Ran looked at the prompt and still clicked it.

The Ring of Pride disappeared from her hand and reappeared in Isa’s.

Isa quietly felt the magic essence recovery speed of the Ring of Pride, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

“Your Highness, with this ring, I have full confidence in brewing the potion.”

Hearing Isa’s affirmative reply, Su Ran nodded. She had to prepare to face the security officers who were about to arrive at her room.

“By the way, Your Highness, there’s one more thing I was just about to tell you…”

Isa told Su Ran about Canlisa and the commission from the Lord of Blackstone City.

“I agree to this matter. It’s a good thing to have a new companion join us. You’ve worked hard recently. When we have some free time, I have a surprise for you.”

Su Ran hadn’t forgotten about giving the Witch’s Meditation Technique to Isa, but recent events had followed one after another without a break, leaving her with no time to give it to her.

In Su Ran’s view, Isa’s talent was likely limited by her meditation technique. After switching to a new one, her speed would definitely see a qualitative leap.

Knock, knock, knock.

Not long after ending her communication with Isa, a knock came from outside Su Ran’s door.

In fact, after the masked person had entered, the lock on her door had already been damaged.

The reason the security officers knocked instead of entering directly was mainly a matter of professional conduct.

After receiving Su Ran’s permission, the security officers finally entered her apartment.

As soon as they entered, a wave of cold air washed over them.

Normally, security officers who handle superhuman incidents are composed of superhumans themselves and wouldn’t have a particular reaction to ordinary temperature changes.

However, when they entered the apartment, a chill they hadn’t felt in a long time made their skin crawl with goosebumps.

When they saw the severed hand encased in a block of ice on the floor, they finally understood why they felt so cold.

The leading security officer had originally intended to use a stern tone for his questioning, but looking at Su Ran’s harmless appearance, he subconsciously softened his tone.

“We observed a magic essence fluctuation in the city and saw a mass of magic essence rush from your apartment, followed by a black figure leaving. Can you explain what happened?”

The attitude of this security officer put Su Ran at ease. At least he wasn’t aggressive from the start.

She took out the Blood Hunter badge Winnie had given her from her pocket and showed it to him for inspection, then explained, “I am a Blood Hunter. I was attacked in my own home. The mass of magic essence you saw was sent by me. The black figure was my attacker.”

Saying this, Su Ran pointed to the severed hand frozen in ice on the floor. “This is the other party’s hand, cut off as he fled. I hope that with these clues, you can find the attacker.”

“Miss, I have verified the badge, but I hope you will come with us to make a statement.”

“Of course, no problem.”
