Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 892 852: Half an Hour Has Passed

Following that, under the astonished gaze of everyone, the palm-sized little gadget suddenly floated mysteriously in mid-air, yes, it floated up.

This caused everyone present to be greatly startled, instinctively taking a step back, while tightening their grip on their weapons, and raising them slightly.

Their expressions became extremely tense, with a solemn look, as if fearing that this little gadget might suddenly attack them and cause harm.

However, under their nervous gaze, while they stared unblinkingly at the gadget, it drifted leisurely overhead and flew out through the open door.

This action truly shocked them.

After all, many of them hadn't witnessed Lin Yi's methods.

This seemingly spontaneous object not only appeared out of nowhere, but could fly so smoothly while emitting a humming sound, how could they not be scared and terrified?

People are always fearful of the unknown, let alone this little gadget that suddenly appeared before their eyes.

"What should we do? Should we send someone to chase it?"

Just as the gadget flew out of the hall, a deputy beside the leader among the guards asked him.

The leading guard frowned in thought, then immediately instructed two people to quickly chase after it.

Upon hearing this, the two didn't dare delay and rushed out immediately.

However, when they rushed outside, they were astonished to find the gadget had already vanished, and no matter how they searched the sky, they found nothing.

After all, it was already quite dark and nearing midnight, during such times, the sky was pitch black, making it impossible to find a small drone in the dark night sky.

Moreover, the drone didn't have any flashing lights.

As a result, after searching outside for a while, the two hurried back.

Approaching their leader, they reported softly that they had lost track and didn't see the object at all.

This deepened the leader's frown, but when he looked at the relaxed person in the field, he felt slightly relieved.

No matter what just flew out, as long as this person was still here, it was fine, as his order was to guard here for half an hour without letting him move an inch.

And now, the person was just sitting here, which was enough, at least he didn't violate the command of the regent.

Therefore, he waved directly at the two subordinates, indicating for them to return to the group, and continued to fix his gaze on Lin Yi in the field.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi paid no attention to the surrounding people's glances. After releasing the drone, he focused on the tablet in his hand.

Displayed on the tablet was the video feed returned by the aerial camera, and the night vision capability allowed the ground to be clearly visible.

To solve the doubts in his mind, he directly controlled the drone to the lake's surroundings.

At this moment, the area around the small lake was still bustling.

After all, the regent had just gone down, so those cronies on the shore were busy hiding themselves.

Little did they imagine, even in this dark night, their actions were already clearly visible to Lin Yi.

Indeed, this was technological superiority, descending like a dimension-cutting blow.

Seeing the busy crowd below, Lin Yi's frown deepened.

He pondered internally, given the movements here, the regent clearly should not leave, he should be here, yet no boats appeared on the lake surface, so why was the red dot still at the lake's center?

After maneuvering the drone around the area and observing thoroughly, he concluded the regent probably hadn't left the Royal Palace.

If he had, there should've been abnormalities around.

Through the drone's observations, the few large gates of the Imperial Palace showed no disturbances, indicating the regent hadn't been there.

As long as he remained in the Royal Palace, it would be easier to find him.

To clarify why the red dot was at the lake's center, he controlled the drone to lower altitude for closer inspection.

Yet, after meticulously searching the lake surface several times, he still found no abnormalities.

"There must be something strange, it's impossible there's nothing unusual.

But where did this guy hide? Could it be he went underwater?"

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head, and he had a bold guess.

Could the person have directly submerged into the water?

If he did, how long could he stay underwater?

As he thought about this, he also fixed the drone's feed at the lake's center where the red dot was, continually watching.

He believed if the regent went underwater, he would have to come up for air, as currently there's no diving equipment or oxygen tanks, making long stays underwater impractical.

Unless there was a space existing underwater, but that seemed equally unrealistic.

Since underwater spaces can't accommodate for air exchange, lack of oxygen makes it unable to house people.

Though the drone watched for over ten minutes, no anomalies appeared, not even ripples on the lake's surface.

"Damn it, this guy is hiding pretty well, whatever, I'll go check later."

Watching the tablet's video feed for quite a while made Lin Yi's eyes slightly sore, failing to find anything unusual, the frustration led him to curse.

Time ticked by, eventually reaching half an hour during Lin Yi's reluctant wait.
