In the city security team, Investigator Raghavan, the security team captain and several officials were gathered in the conference room, looking at the magic screen projected in mid-air. On the screen were civilians in the lower areas, men and women, coming and going. Children and old people, everyone is walking around in a hurry, forming an ordinary street scene. However, the difference is that the figure of a child is always locked in the center of the picture. A black-haired child looks to be fourteen or fifteen years old, with an ordinary appearance. , dressed in ordinary clothes, and holding in his hand a bag of black bread rations, the most common ration for civilians in lower-class areas, everything looked ordinary.
However, Ragavan, who has a sophisticated and vicious eye, locked onto this ordinary young man at a glance, and asked the plainclothes spies wandering nearby to quickly follow him.
"Let the fourth team give up tracking at the next intersection and let the fifth team take over. The second team and the first team will go to the two turning points of the next intersection to stand by."
Ragavan personally issued the command order. The other party was a mage, one who ignored all magic circles, a magical mage who could hide his body without being known by anyone, and the other party also had extremely sensitive nerves and insight. , the previous time the person responsible for tracking followed him for too long and was noticed by the other party and lost him. This time he will not make the same mistake.
"Let the fifth team go directly forward and pass the opponent and stop on the street on the right to buy some fruits. Then the second team will take over the tracking."
Ragavan looked at the screen and used the communication magic device to continuously issue orders: "Don't look at the suspect specifically, just keep the other person in the corner of your eyes. The other person is a magician with very keen insight. Don't give him any attention." I do unnecessary things, I just need to follow the other person and make sure I don’t get lost.”
These spies are elites dispatched by the security team. After rigorous training, they are completely different from the ordinary security team members who are careless. Everyone carries out Ragavan's orders accurately. Each team will never follow them all the time. Behind Claire, the task will be handed over to the next group immediately before reaching an intersection.
"Team 3, if you are a female, you can come a little closer and look at the other person's arm from behind to see if there are any features worthy of attention. Be careful not to stare for too long."
At Ragavan's request. A middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties held a camouflaged cloth bag and walked a little faster to a distance of about five meters from Claire. After a brief observation, the female detective immediately reported that she found Claire's right wrist with something on it. A very thin scar, this news was immediately recorded by the assistant next to Ragavan.
Ragavan nodded with satisfaction and then said: "Okay, now you can turn away from him. The next team is ready to respond."
"Are you sure it's this child? Mr. Ragavan!"
The captain of the security team sitting next to him with a sturdy figure asked with some uncertainty. After watching it for so long, he didn't find anything special about this child. The information showed that the prisoner was a magician who could become invisible. If he Being able to be invisible and not detected by anyone or the magic circle, why is he walking on the street in broad daylight now. Instead of buying bread and then disappearing and leaving
Besides, the direction the other party was taking was completely opposite to the river course. Could it be that he was following the wrong person
Ragavan looked at the screen with concentration and replied without looking back: "There is no doubt! This boy should be the person we are looking for. Even if he is not, there is a big problem with him. He has passed by him several times along the way. He used reflections when there was glass, or looked behind him when turning. This action clearly showed that he had been followed before, so he developed these anti-tracking habits. "
The captain of the security team fell silent. Since Ragavan was so sure, he could only trust him.
Ragavan ignored the captain's mood and continued to shout with bright eyes: "You are following too closely and slow down. Your task is only to monitor and follow. I did not ask you to arrest. Don't cause any trouble." The other party’s attention slowed down and put some distance between them.”
Claire, who was completely kept in the dark, still walked forward without knowing anything. Looking around carefully, Claire didn't notice anyone following her for a long time. After walking for a while, she noticed that it seemed impossible to go to the alley. People, Claire turned sideways to prepare where to hide and then returned to the underground waterway.
"The target is walking towards the alley. Do you want to continue tracking?"
"No need~ stay away from the target."
Ragavan showed a cunning look like a falcon, as if he had expected it: "Team Six took over immediately, pretending to be drunkards and turned into the alleyway from the other side. Don't try to block it, just quietly observe the opponent's movements. Just the whereabouts.”
The security force spy who received the order deliberately poured the rum he had prepared on himself. Then he appeared in front of Claire with a bumpy step and a bottle of wine in his hand. A hint of displeasure suddenly flashed in the eyes of the boy holding the bread and he slowed down, as if he was ready to let the drunkard get out first.
However, what the boy didn't expect was that the most common drunkard in the lower class area actually sat down on Zhang Xixi's ground. It seems that he is planning to sleep here.
Claire had no choice but to walk into the alleyway immediately, preparing to choose a suitable place to hide.
At the same time, in the city security team, Ragavan had issued orders one after another, and began to deploy a large number of spies and surveillance magic devices in several rivers. The security team had been holding back when they found the opponent's hiding place. He didn't take action, but kept monitoring the target like he was protecting a rare monster. The reason is that the opponent's invisibility method can block any detection method. If he is caught rashly, he is very likely to be escaped by the opponent again, and the opponent can ignore the particularity of all magic circles, which makes Ragavan also have trouble with the construction proposed by some mages. To block the demon' area, we lost confidence in building a space blockade area.
Ragavan would rather spend more time studying the other person's daily routine. As long as the other person still needs to eat and sleep like an ordinary person, then he can find out his routine and catch him when he is most tired and relaxed.
Regarding this idea, Investigator Ragavan and Lelouch came up with it together.
However, during this long tracking and investigation operation, there is a third pair of eyes that is also monitoring Claire's every move, and this pair of eyes is even more careful and more covert than Ragavan who mobilized a large number of people. Even under surveillance along the way, Claire, including the security team's spies, didn't notice it.
Because the owner of these eyes is a very common bird in the free city, the Gray Spot. They like to appear in pairs. They can be seen almost anywhere in the lower area, but they are rarely seen in the upper area. Because rich people don't like their expensive carriages to be soiled by bird droppings, these gray finches parked in twos and threes on the roofs and trees combing their bird feathers will always fix their eyes on the boy walking below, even if the boy After leaving, there will naturally be other gray finches taking turns to keep an eye on him.
No matter how clever the mage is, it is impossible to cast identification spells on every bird in the city. Even Claire ignores the birds above his head, even if he has these birds wherever he goes. After all, these birds are the most common birds in the free city. At the same time, because they have lived with people for too long, these birds have also developed the habit of not being afraid of people, so Claire, who is being watched, does not pay any attention.
In addition to birds, some night cats that shuttle between the eaves also take on the role of surveillance from time to time, forming a surveillance system with no blind spots. In comparison, Ragavan, who has taken away a large number of manpower, looks a little bit... lame.
When Claire finally found an uninhabited corner and disappeared, the birds on the roof fluttered their wings and flew into the sky. At the same time, many gray finches in the free city seemed to be well-trained. Soldiers also began to keep an eye on every intersection in the river and underground waterway in the lower district, closely monitoring everyone who came and went.

In the room, Yunokia was sitting alone on the bed. She was wrapped in a purple gauze dress and her slim body was wrapped in a purple gauze dress. Her fair hands were holding her equally white and sexy slender legs. She looked like a tired child with half-squinted eyes. He leaned his head on his knees and pondered.
The liquefied mithril was used as silver foil to cover all the walls of the room. The fine gold was used as a transmission wire to connect the huge magic crystal pillars above the palace for collecting magic power. A huge torrent of magic power poured into the room. Activating countless large and small magic circles and runes carved here, in such a room that seemed to be piled with money, Yunokia expanded her consciousness to the entire free city, and she became Like a liberated soul, he can browse any place in the city that is not covered by a special magic circle at will. He can easily control the animals with weak self-awareness in the free city and let them become his eyes and ears, putting the entire city under his surveillance. among.
Yunokia saw everything, the child's departure and disappearance, and she was sure that it was not magic or even the power of the boy himself. Just as she expected, the boy himself did not have any power, it was just the power around his neck. A hanging gem possesses this strange and great power. Not only can it block one's own consciousness, which is amplified by magic power, so that one has to use the bird's 'naked eyes' to observe, it can even distort the plane so that the boy's The body sneaks directly into another plane.
Maybe you can do more unexpected things!
She longs for more knowledge and extraordinary power. Eunogia has never violated her desires, but this time the legal businessman, one of the three giants of the free city, fell into a strange silence, because of that power, and What that power can do is really familiar to me.
The moment the unforgettable past was brought up from the depths of her memory, Yunokia felt lost. Pain, sadness, and full unwillingness overflowed from her heart. That gem belonged to her...it should be... What belongs to you must also belong to you. You must take back everything you have lost, not only for yourself but also for her┉┉(~^~)
