My Space-Time System

Chapter 504 - 504 Infiltrating the Cobra mob hideout.



504 Infiltrating the Cobra mob hideout.

While following the white trail, Blake went down the mountain and into one of the valleys in the area.

“The more I explore the Duststar region, the more I get angry about the situation of the city.” Blake thought.

The Duststar region was rich in numerous resources thanks to the forests, mountains, and rivers all around. Apart from that, the beauty of the region alone would attract a lot of tourists, which will in turn generate a lot of revenue for the city.

What vexed Blake the most was that not much was needed to develop the region, it was just that the corruption in Duststar was on a whole new level.

After 25 minutes of following the white trail, Blake arrived at a river.

“What the…” Blake was shocked to see the white trail enter the river.

To make sure that it wasn’t a trap, Blake placed a spatial seal on a tree quite a distance away from the river. After that, he created a mana sphere for air before jumping into the river.

‘If not for the space element and arcane spells, I would be no different from a normal human when fighting underwater.’ Blake thought.

The fire element would be quenched by the water while using the lightning element was no different from suicide.

.....

Thanks to telekinesis, Blake didn’t need to waste strength moving against the current or moving in any direction.

Following the white trail, Blake reached the bottom of the river before moving to the opposite bank of the river where he saw an opening in the ground wide enough to fit only 1 person at once. He first checked for traps and alarms before moving in.

Once Blake moved in, the white trail didn’t keep going forward, but upward. The area forward was a dead end, but above was entirely free.

‘This is a brilliant idea for a hideout, too bad I am not a fan of water.’ Blake thought as he moved upward until he reached what seemed to be another dead end.

‘The trail is still pointing in this direction, meaning that there should be a form of passage.’ Blake wasted no time activating mana vision.

Just like he thought, the rocks had mana passing through them. So, he went straight to deactivating.

[What will you do if there are people behind it?] The system asked.

“I don’t mind alerting the entire base; My goal is to locate a hideout and capture important people for interrogation. So even if I set off the alarms, I should still be able to get to some people before they escape.” By the time Blake was done explaining, he had taken over the arrays.

Once he was ready, he controlled both sides of the secret passage to slide open for a second before closing it back up.

With the small opening, Blake was able to see the ceiling behind the secret passage and its spatial coordination, while the system was able to scan the area and find out the guards.

[There was no reaction when the doors opened so they are not aware of your presence.] The system informed Blake.

‘Good.’

Blake cast void shift and warped to the ceiling while using telekinesis to make sure that none of the water from his body or those that entered the spatial corridor dropped to the floor.

Past the secret passage was an artificial cave with a closed tunnel that was being protected by 2 guards.

Blake first scanned the environment and confirmed that only 2 guards were present, before using mana vision to check for traps.

‘The only thing that had mana flowing through it is the closed tunnel doors. So it’s safe for me to act.’

Splash!

The guards instantly turned to the sound of water crashing into the floor, but before they could look up to see where the water had come from, a great sword had sliced through their necks.

THUD!

Ignoring the bodies that were spurting out blood, Blake turned to the closed tunnel door and began inspecting it.

“Palmprint is needed… I guess this could serve.” Blake sliced out one of the hands of the guards before placing it on the door.

The door lit up and slid open, revealing a tunnel with stairs leading upwards.

“I don’t like this.” Blake said as he activated mana vision to inspect the tunnel for traps.

Right from his days of raiding gang hideouts, Blake never liked tunnels because his movements were limited, and there was only one way of escape.

“Not as if I have any other choice.” Blake let out a helpless sigh and began cautiously climbing the stairs.

The hideout was located on the left side of the mountain close to the river. The entrance was some distance away from the river bank, then the tunnel stairs led into the mountain.

Luckily for Blake, he didn’t meet anyone on the staircase, but on reaching the end of the tunnel he saw another stone door.

‘I guess holding on to this was right.’ Blake said to himself as he placed the decapitated hand on the stone door and got ready for combat.

Using heat vision, the system had informed him about the 2 guards standing beside the stone door. So once the door slid open, Blake grabbed them by the head before electrocuting them.

“Guess there is no more hiding from here on.” Blake said as he looked around.

He had finally arrived at the main hideout, but unlike most of those he had raided, this had a lot of open space that made sneaking around useless.

At the other end of the area were 3 corridors, and from his experience of raiding hideouts, one was the living quarters, the second was the storage area, and the 3rd would be where they cooked the drugs.

Just then 2 alchemists walked out of the 3rd corridor and glanced in Blake’s direction for a second before returning their eyes to the original position and moving back to Blake to make sure their eyes weren’t playing tricks on them.
