    Chapter 234

    After knocking everyone unconscious, Su Hao immediately infused Blood Qi into the bodies of the two Summoners. Avoiding their consciousness entirely, he recorded their complete physical data into the Marble Space.

    Once he was finished, he dusted off his hands.

    "Let's go, Jingyi."

    Yashan nodded and took a few steps before suddenly stopping.

    "Wait a moment, Boss Jingzhong."

    "I'll drag her back to where she was."

    "It feels rude leaving her here. What if something happens to her?"

    Su Hao merely shrugged.

    "Make it quick."

    Yashan immediately dragged the unconscious woman in blue back to the place where she had originally been ambushed.

    After a short while, he returned, dusting off his hands.

    "Done, Boss Jingzhong."

    Su Hao nodded.

    "Let's keep going."

    "Since we're already out tonight, we'll collect data from a few more Summoners."

    Yashan didn't ask why.

    If Boss Jingzhong wanted to find Summoners...

    Then there was naturally a reason.


    ---

    The two wandered through Yongxin City's streets until late into the night.

    To Su Hao's surprise...

    Summoners were far more common than he had expected.

    Many of them enjoyed taking nighttime walks with their Summoned Beasts.

    Whenever Su Hao found one...

    The process was exactly the same.

    A flash of lightning.

    A quick knockout.

    Body data recorded.

    Then they quietly moved on to the next target.

    By the end of the night...

    They had recorded the data of more than a dozen Summoners.

    Naturally...

    They also relieved several of them of some pocket money.

    Only at around three in the morning did the two exhausted children quietly sneak back into Morning Sun Courtyard.

    The moment they climbed into bed...

    Both fell asleep instantly.


    ---

    At seven o'clock sharp the next morning...

    They forced themselves awake.

    Dragging two enormous dark circles beneath their eyes, they staggered into the orphanage cafeteria.

    The freckled assistant, Xiaotian, stared at them in surprise.

    "Little Zhong! Little Yi!"

    "What happened to you two?"

    Feeling sympathetic, she placed two enormous soup bones into their bowls.

    "Were you starving last night?"

    "Eat more."


    ---

    Su Hao and Yashan looked at each other.

    Both froze.

    Su Hao thought,

    ...I thought only Jingyi had dark circles.

    Yashan thought,

    ...I thought only Boss Jingzhong had them.

    Without changing expression, Su Hao answered,

    "Jingyi snored all night."

    "I couldn't sleep."

    "So I got insomnia."

    Yashan immediately nodded in agreement.

    "That's right."

    "I snored."

    Xiaotian looked at him suspiciously.

    "You?"

    "Snoring?"

    "Then why do you have dark circles too?"

    Without missing a beat, Su Hao waved his hand.

    "That's not important."

    "The important thing is that neither of us slept."

    "Sister Xiaotian..."

    "You're such a kind person."

    "Could you help us apply for a morning off?"

    "If we go to class like this, we'll definitely fall asleep."

    "That'll disturb everyone."

    "And Brother Hu Sheng won't be happy either."

    "So whether you think about us..."

    "Or everyone else..."

    "The best solution is to let us sleep."


    ---

    Xiaotian hesitated.

    After thinking for a while...

    She finally nodded.

    "Fine."

    "After breakfast, go straight back to sleep."

    The two immediately buried themselves in their food.

    Within minutes...

    Their bowls were spotless.

    Then they sprinted back to the dormitory.

    Pulled their blankets over their heads.

    And happily went back to sleep.

    Nothing in the world...

    Felt better than going back to bed.


    ---

    When they woke again in the afternoon...

    Yashan stretched lazily.

    "Boss Jingzhong."

    "I've completely recovered."

    "Can we stay up all night again tonight?"

    Su Hao immediately shook his head.

    "Sleep is important."

    "Staying up all night isn't a good habit."

    "We'll simply work more efficiently."

    "Tonight..."

    "We finish everything by exactly two o'clock."

    Yashan nodded seriously.

    "Understood, Boss Jingzhong."


    ---

    Night fell once again.

    After confirming Bai Jingchun had been put into a deep sleep...

    The two quietly climbed over the courtyard wall.

    Soon...

    They were once again roaming every street and alley of Yongxin City.

    Su Hao activated his Perception Rune.

    Almost immediately...

    Another target appeared.

    "There."

    "Let's go."


    ---

    Beside a quiet lakeside path...

    A Summoner was leisurely walking his Armor-Plated Turtle.

    Without warning—

    Crack!

    A bolt of lightning struck both man and beast.

    Their bodies instantly stiffened.

    Thud!

    Yashan's club landed squarely on the back of the man's head.

    The Summoner collapsed without even understanding what had happened.

    ...What was that...?

    Before he completely lost consciousness...

    That was his only thought.


    ---

    Su Hao immediately recorded his physical data into the Marble Space.

    Once finished...

    He casually activated a Healing Rune, ensuring the innocent victim would wake up soon without lasting injuries.

    "Done."

    The two disappeared into the darkness.


    ---

    Next target.

    Crack!

    Thud!

    Record data.

    Apply Healing Rune.

    Move on.


    ---

    As the night progressed...

    Their teamwork became increasingly smooth.

    Su Hao handled the lightning.

    Yashan handled the knockout.

    Su Hao recorded the data.

    Yashan searched their pockets.

    The cooperation between the two became almost flawless.

    Exactly at two in the morning...

    They ended their night's work.

    Mission complete.

    Time to go home and sleep.


    ---

    The following evening...

    Two tiny masked figures once again appeared throughout Yongxin City's streets.

    Crack!

    Bang!

    Crack!

    Bang!

    One after another...

    Unsuspecting Summoners collapsed before they even understood what was happening.

    The strangest part...

    When they woke up...

    Nothing important was missing.

    Only their wallets had become noticeably lighter.

    The thieves always left behind enough cash for a taxi ride...

    And a bowl of fried noodles.


    ---

    The victims were utterly bewildered.

    What exactly did the attackers want?

    If it was robbery...

    Why leave money behind?

    If it wasn't robbery...

    Why steal any money at all?

    Could these mysterious attackers actually be...

    Benevolent thieves?

    The entire situation made absolutely no sense.


    ---

    As more victims appeared...

    Rumors rapidly spread throughout Yongxin City's Summoner community.

    People began referring to the mysterious attacker as...

    The Summoner Night Clubber.

    Everyone who heard the stories was shocked.

    Who could repeatedly ambush fully alert Summoners?

    Surely...

    It had to be an extremely powerful Summoner with an exceptionally rare Summoned Beast.

    Stealing money was probably just a disguise.

    That small amount couldn't possibly be the real objective.


    ---

    That speculation continued...

    Until someone released several surveillance videos.

    The footage immediately stunned everyone.

    Instead of some mysterious master...

    The attackers were...

    Two tiny children.

    Around six years old.

    Both wore bone masks.

    One unleashed a blinding bolt of lightning that instantly froze both the Summoner and their Summoned Beast.

    The other calmly walked over...

    Raised a club...

    And knocked the Summoner unconscious with practiced ease.

    Afterward...

    One child pressed a hand against the victim for several seconds...

    While the other efficiently searched every pocket.

    Once satisfied...

    The two quietly disappeared into the darkness.

    The entire operation was smooth.

    Professional.

    Almost frighteningly well-practiced.


    ---

    Every Summoner who watched the recordings was dumbfounded.

    "The Night Clubbers..."

    "...are two little kids?"

    Powerful Summoners...

    Being ambushed and knocked unconscious by children?

    Were Summoners really that weak?

    And what exactly was that lightning attack?

    Instead of answering questions...

    The videos only created even more.


    ---

    Many experienced Summoners carefully analyzed the recordings frame by frame.

    Eventually...

    They reached a completely different conclusion.

    The problem wasn't that the victims lacked awareness.

    Rather...

    The two children were simply...

    Too fast.

    So fast that the victims had no chance to react.


    ---

    "Where did these two little monsters come from?"

    Soon...

    Several Summoners deliberately laid traps, hoping to capture the mysterious duo during their next outing.

    Unfortunately for them...

    Su Hao had already collected all the data he needed.

    From that night onward...

    The Night Clubber Duo completely disappeared.


    ---

    Over the following two days...

    Su Hao remained inside the Marble Space almost without pause.

    He repeatedly compared the genetic data he had gathered from dozens of Summoners while simultaneously studying every book and document on Summoning he had purchased.

    Gradually...

    The final piece clicked into place.

    A smile slowly appeared on Su Hao's face.

    "So that's how it works..."

    "What this world calls Summoner Talent..."

    "...is actually the ability to perceive the fourth dimension."
