At that moment, Fang Li really regretted not exchanging for suitable items in the Main God's Dimension.
"This same situation has already happened several times."
For example, in the world of **"Shakugan No Shana"**, Fang Li had spent considerable effort to locate Friagne.
Similarly, in the world of **"Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World", Fang Li had put a lot of effort into finding the whereabouts of the Witch Cult.
Given this experience, it should have been essential to equip some exploration and search items.
But this time, Fang Li was still struggling with the whereabouts of an enemy active in the shadows.
Fang Li felt somewhat helpless because he had not learned his lesson.
Of course, it wasn't all Fang Li's fault.
The resting time in the Main God's Dimension is limited by nature.
During his time in the Main God's Dimension, Fang Li's schedule was always very busy.
Either he was training with Ryougi Shiki in the soul space to improve the power of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
Or he was clearing stages in the Trial Tower to earn exchange points and attribute points.
There simply wasn't enough time to think about so many things.
Therefore, even the time to go to the trade area and the auction house to look for special items that could enter certain worlds was squeezed out by sheer force.
As a result, it was naturally impossible to cover all the bases.
However, Fang Li was still a Butei (Armed Detective).
For a Butei, reconnaissance and exploration are almost the most important courses.
After all, there are never a few quests that require searching, and even finding a criminal requires testing one's searching ability.
Under normal circumstances, the goal of finding a specific target can be approached from three aspects.
1. Manpower.
2. Material resources.
3. Collaboration.
Manpower is simple: send a large number of people into the search area to conduct a search. It's simple, crude, but often the most effective method.
In this regard, Fang Li could think of asking Tohno Akiha for help and asking her to make a move.
As a well-known financial conglomerate, the Tohno family has considerable advantages in manpower.
Even setting aside the mundane manpower, in the industry, the Tohno family has many People Outside the Family branches with considerable ability.
The Nanaya Clan, as an assassin clan, hid in the deep mountains where no one could see them, and they were found by the Tohno family.
It's obvious that this is definitely worth relying on.
Unfortunately, given Tohno Akiha's apparent reluctance, it's likely that the head of this family won't agree to help Arcueid.
In addition, Tohno Shiki has his own problems here as well, so it is hard to expect results from manpower.
In terms of material resources, this means using modern technology.
Placing cameras, trackers, or other advanced instruments within the criminal's area of activity would greatly increase the chances of finding the target.
However, in this case, because the opponent isn't active outside but manipulating the dead, even if found, it would only be a puppet, making it unlikely to directly locate the target. This aspect also seems useless.
Not to mention that the opponent isn't an ordinary criminal, but a vampire. Whether modern instruments can accurately locate the target is still unknown.
Otherwise, the police wouldn't be bothered by a serial killer for so long, unable to find the culprit, not even knowing that there are more victims who have died without leaving any corpses and thus cannot be confirmed.
As for the collaboration, it's even easier to understand.
For example, a decoy.
If we know the target, using that target as a decoy should yield effective results.
Even if it's a bit risky.
But this time, the opponent's target is all the humans in Misaki Town.
Every human in Misaki Town is their target, their food.
Therefore, the range of the decoys is too wide, making it impossible to pinpoint the target.
"Do we really have to use such a crude method?" Fang Li muttered to himslef.
Arcueid and Tohno Shiki both heard this.
"A crude method?" Tohno Shiki asked quickly. "What crude method?"
Arcueid seemed to understand what Fang Li meant by a crude method.
"I was also thinking of that crude method." Arcueid said happily, "It's to kill all the dead controlled by that guy, right?"
Fang Li nodded.
Exactly.
They just need to kill all the dead controlled by the vampire, and the problem will be solved.
As a vampire, unless you're a True Ancestor, you have to rely on human blood to survive.
If Fang Li's group kills all the dead controlled by the enemy, the vampire will be forced to come out of hiding and attack humans directly to sustain itself.
At that point, the chances of finding the vampire increase.
This is a method used by Arcueid in the original story.
Given the current situation, this method may indeed be unexpectedly effective.
"But how do we find the dead?" Tohno Shiki raised his hand and asked, "Even though there are many more of them than the vampire, we still don't know where they are, right?"
Seeing this question from Tohno Shiki, Fang Li, and Arcueid both smiled.
Then Arcueid said:
"It's simple. The aura of the dead is very different from that of ordinary people. If they are at a relatively close distance, I can identify them in a crowd."
After saying this, Arcueid looked at Fang Li and Tohno Shiki one after the other and continued:
"Of course, detecting the aura of the dead in a crowd is somewhat difficult for me in my current state. But for you two, these eyes should be an effective weapon."
Arcueid's words surprised Tohno Shiki.
"Eyes?"
Did she mean the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?
Could it be that the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception could be used to find people?
"You haven't used your Mystic Eyes to see the Death Lines and Points of the Dead, have you?" Fang Li said. "If you have, you'll understand that for us, no matter how well the dead hide, if they appear in our sight, they can't escape detection."
"Exactly," Arcueid said with great satisfaction. "For now, let's wait until nightfall and act when the dead come out."
"Night?" Tohno Shiki asked instinctively. "What about now?"
"Now?" Arcueid tilted her head, looking somewhat surprised.
Clearly, the True Ancestor princess hadn't thought about what to do now.
Fang Li half-narrowed his eyes, sighing.
"For now, let me find a place to eat."
After all, Arcueid and Tohno Shiki had already eaten, but Fang Li hadn't yet.
