night.
The courtyard where Richard lives.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a knock on the door, Richard opened the door, and Mu En, tightly wrapped in black robe, walked in.
The moment Mu En saw Richard, he was slightly startled and couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency Richard, you look... well, very tired. Did something bad happen?"
"Um, it's nothing." Richard waved his hand and said, it was indeed nothing. The reason why he looked tired was entirely because he had been busy cleaning up the ruins of the Garden of Eden.
Richard was not prepared to discuss this topic further. He looked at Mu En and said directly: "Tell me about the latest situation on your side. Next, I may not have too much contact with you for some time. I need to deal with some things. trivial matter."
"Oh, that's it." Mu En nodded, without being verbose, and reported quickly: "I still haven't found any clues about the girl named Heidi, but as for the information about the Black Spirit Empire, according to what you provided last time, Mr. Richard I have been tracking the breakthrough point and gained a lot.
Many wizards have indeed reacted to the Rotten Pine Alley incident, but my people have only been able to infiltrate for too short a time. They have not yet obtained the more important things, so they need to continue to wait patiently. "
Richard nodded: "This is understandable."
"Finally, there is the malicious arson organization you mentioned, Mr. Richard." Mu En said, "I have used my ears and eyes to carefully contact the other party's people several times, but the other party is very difficult to deal with, and I directly caught him several times. Use the eyes and ears I set up to interrogate you."
"You should have taken protective measures, right?" Richard asked.
"Yes, it's done." Mu En replied, "According to what you suggested before, for a high-risk operation like this, the connection between the ear and the eye is a single line. The person who ultimately takes action has no idea other than the content of the action. The reason for the action and other information. After they were caught, I cut off the entire line where they were in time to ensure that the other party would never find the source."
"That's good." Richard said, "However, even if the other party can't find the source, you still have to be vigilant. You can reduce your actions appropriately."
"Is it appropriate to reduce it? Okay, I will."
"That's good." Richard said, "It seems that everything is normal on your side, so I'm relieved. Next, don't rush forward, be prudent first, the first priority is not to make mistakes, Collect the target’s information bit by bit, and I’ll contact you later.”
"I took note of it." Mu En said seriously, "So, if there is nothing else, I will leave first? After all, according to what you said, the longer and more frequent our contact, the less conducive it is to keeping it secret. "
"Okay, see you then." Richard said, "Be careful and stay safe."
"Yeah." Mu En responded, quickly walked out of the door and disappeared into the night.
Richard glanced at the door and closed it, and was about to enter the Garden of Eden and continue cleaning up. After all, the reconstruction of the Garden of Eden "has a long way to go." But the moment he turned around, he suddenly felt something. He stopped turning and narrowed his eyes slightly.
…
outside the door.
In the night, Mu En was dressed in a black robe, walking silently and quickly along the remote alley, like a ghost in the dark night.
But as he walked, his pace slowed down, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction behind him, frowned, and said to himself: "Is someone following me? Isn't it possible? Maybe it's an illusion. Well, an illusion."
After the last word fell, Mu En stepped hard, and his whole body almost turned into a black shadow, bursting out at extremely high speed, and rushed forward, reaching the end of an alley in just a few steps.
Mu En jumped up, first stepped on the wall, and then stepped on the air with his other foot, as if he had stepped on an entity, and quickly rolled out of the alley.
Outside the alley was a wide street. Mu En walked quickly along the street, made a sharp turn, entered another alley, turned into a house in the alley, and exited from the opposite direction.
Next, Mu En behaved as if there was a natural enemy chasing behind him. He ran away like crazy. With the help of the zero-ring spell, he climbed over many obstacles like parkour and kept walking through the extremely complex Florentine city. He was so fast that he almost lost his ability. All shadows will be thrown away.
Just like that, half an hour later, Mu En disappeared into the streets and alleys of Florence, and appeared in an abandoned and dirty yard in a slum.
There was a pile of wooden boards piled up in the corner of the yard. Mu En was hiding behind the wooden boards, looking out through the gaps between the boards warily, trying to control his breathing and not making any suspicious noises.
Time passes quickly.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
In the blink of an eye, a full hour passed, and it was late at night, and there was no sound in the yard.
"Zhizhizhi—"
The wooden board was moved, and Mu En walked out of his hiding place. He stood in the yard and looked around. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no suspicious presence.
While walking before, he felt for a moment that someone was following him. His perception was so weak, almost like a baseless guess, but he didn't hesitate and ran here with all his strength.
Because someone told him that in order to ensure safety, it is better to be too sensitive and be regarded as a fool than to become a real corpse.
It seems that he no longer needs to be a corpse.
With this thought in mind, Mu En was about to leave the yard, but as soon as he took two steps, the hair all over his body suddenly exploded. He turned around suddenly and saw a tall figure standing behind him.
The other party was at least 1.8 meters tall and weighed more than 250 kilograms. He looked like a wall when he stood up, and he looked like a mountain when he sat down. He didn't know when he appeared quietly in the yard. If the moon hadn't illuminated the Without the shadow of the other party, he couldn't find the other party at all.
Looking at the other party, Mu En's muscles tightened, his throat went dry, and his whole body was highly nervous. Although he did not have any communication with the other party, he had already guessed that the other party had no good intentions.
Clenching his fists, Mu En tried to stay calm, looked at the other person and said, "You... who are you?" He was trying to delay time and learn more about the other person, which might increase his chances of escaping. As for killing each other through combat? Just kidding, there has never been such a thing as head-on confrontation in his life. He is an information dealer, not a soldier.
At this time, the other party spoke, looked over, and said playfully: "I, don't you know? Ha, I thought you knew. After all, recently, you have been investigating us openly and covertly. I have to. He said, your method of investigating us is still very good. Even if we catch your people, we can't find out anything because you, the mouse, are hidden deep enough.
To be honest, if I hadn't used a stupid method to confirm through questioning that you might appear nearby and kept watch, and then happened to meet you, I really don't know when I would catch you.
It's okay now. If you fall into my hand, you can't run away. Tell us all the purpose of your investigation of us, and I will give you a pleasure. Otherwise, you will suffer a lot. "
After hearing this, Mu En pursed her lips and looked at the tall figure, not doubting that the other party would do what he said. During the investigation with his eyes and ears, he had already understood some of the other party's methods. That was why he did not hesitate to cut off the entire line to ensure safety. Who knew that he still made a miscalculation.
In this case…
Mu En gritted his teeth, feeling anxious and moving his eyes constantly, trying to find a way to reverse the situation. The next moment he suddenly saw something, he was stunned for a moment, then his expression became calm, and finally he looked at the tall figure and even laughed.
