As night fell, the wind and snow intensified.
However, the plant shelter above Gangdian City sheltered the more severe wind and snow than usual, allowing the city to remain calm and accept the protection of the ancient enchantment—it was also the means by which the civilized city-state relied on it for its livelihood at the beginning of its establishment.
In the Jazz District, on Tulip Avenue, private carriages occasionally stepped on the puddles and galloped across the street.
The celebrities and gentry sitting in the carriage occasionally lifted the curtains and looked at the plant shelter above the sky. Most of their expressions were calm. As residents of Gangdian City, they had long been accustomed to this strange scene.
When they were born, they were educated by their parents about the "Lonely Cold Wave" and knew that the second "Lonely Moon Night" was approaching, and they would also face the greatest test of the northern season.
In fact, due to the plant shelter, the steel city in the daytime is also darker, and the gas lamps on the road are working all day long without stopping. This is a special situation that only happens once a year.
— This is also the New Year in the cold land in the north.
In the alley that the squires would never pay attention to and was not illuminated by street lights, a young man in a cloak with wine-like pupils and an outstanding appearance looked at the people in the alley in front of him who were dressed similarly to him in cloaks.
The next moment, he took out the clock from his pocket and glanced lightly:
"The time for the 'Golden Song' gathering is coming soon."
"I have already told you all about the situation of this gathering. There are no omissions or concealments. As long as you follow the plan, you will definitely be able to catch all the important targets!"
"Remember our goal, the first goal is to capture the organizer of the party, the man in gray robe, and kill him if necessary! The second goal is to capture alive the mysterious lady code-named 'Black Butterfly', remember one thing, we must Capture her alive, follow the clues to find out the mysterious forces behind her!"
Accompanied by the cloaked youth's speech, loyalists from the ancient nobles one after another supported their shoulders and said—
"clear!"
At this time, Theodore, with a warm face, took the initiative to step forward, patted the shoulder of the young man in the cloak, and said in a grateful tone, "Well, I'll leave it to you, Mr. Suleman."
"No!" Suleman shook his head suddenly, looking at him innocently: "I don't intend to personally enter the party for this operation."
Theodore was obviously taken aback, and asked subconsciously: "If you don't go in, who will cooperate with us?"
"Mr. 'Code' Ed, of course!"
Suleman looked at the middle-aged man with blue hair who was silent in the crowd. The latter was stunned for a moment, his face gradually bewildered. He obviously didn't understand this matter. on the head? Obviously he didn't speak!
"Isn't this your task?" Ed retorted instinctively.
As a result, Suleman had already planned, and gently spread his hands and said: "Mr. Ed, please understand one thing first, I just reported the passers-by of the secret gathering, in essence, this is between you and the Praying for Life Society." Disputes, and I'm just assisting as a third party."
"Before I cooperated with you, I accepted the entrustment. This time, I don't intend to enter the party in person. I just cooperate with your follow-up siege. Of course, if you are unwilling to accept, you can also terminate this operation."
Both Ed and Theodore secretly shook their heads to terminate the operation. How could it be terminated? The conflict between the three great nobles and the Qishenghui has been going on for a long time, and it is almost impossible to mediate. When they get the whereabouts of the core members of the Qishenghui, they must destroy each other and dispatch all their nests. There will be no room for relaxation!
"Of course, I will provide you with identity assistance." Suleman took out a crow mask from his arms, gently handed it to Ed's hand, and did not forget to explain: "About my disclosure at the party You all know the details of the content, as well as the transaction with Ms. Black Butterfly, as long as I wear a mask, it is not difficult to pretend to be my identity, coupled with the cover of the cloak, the subtle differences in body shape are also ignored."
"You will agree, Mr. Ed?"
Obviously, Ed gritted his teeth fiercely. If the situation allowed, he really wanted to punch the young man in the face with his fist, and bruise the face that looked prettier than the girl's.
But unfortunately, considering the difference in strength between the two sides, he curbed this unrealistic idea.
"I understand!"
In the end, Ed put on a crow mask and wrapped his body tightly with a cloak to cover up the difference in height. Then, under the eyes of everyone seeing him off, he went to the bungalow club where the "Golden Song" was hung.
Suleman and the others stayed in the alley, quietly waiting for the call to action.
In fact, it is only in terms of strength that anyone can be arranged to replace him. Ed and Theodore are the most suitable for this role. Theodore is an old bone, and his back is almost bent. Show his figure.
Ed, on the other hand, is more suitable than Theodore.
"Well, I chose Mr. Ed after considering various reasons!"
Su Erman thought silently, he would not hold grudges, let alone take the opportunity to retaliate against the other party. As for himself, he had long forgotten that the other party wanted to abandon him in the Yatu ruins, so he would not give people eye drops !
Absolutely not!
In the underground steps filled with the smell of wine, along with the dim yellow infested ground, the light horizon receded.
Ed saw the party hall in front of him, densely packed wine barrel racks, and the gray-robed man sitting next to the round table as the host of the party—the first target of this operation!
At this moment, quite a few members had gathered in the party hall, and Ed entered the venue late. He glanced around and was about to take his seat.
"Mr. Night Crow, why don't you sit next to me?"
Suddenly, a soft and pleasant female voice sounded from his side. It was Ms. Heidi who arrived earlier than Ed!
Ed's back tightened, and his whole heart was extremely vigilant, but he still pretended to be indifferent, nodded towards Ms. Heidi, walked to the side of the other side as he said, and sat down gently.
Before the other party could speak, Ed asked first: "Hei Die, I thought about your invitation to me last time, and I think your proposal is good. Shall we find a room to discuss the details?"
This is a way to make a head start. As the acting head of the Birrell family, 'Code' Ed has a rich life experience, and he also has a unique way of dealing with the current 'stand-in' situation.
Because Ed learned the content of the transaction between the two from Suleman, so in view of this, Ed planned to pretend to agree to the other party and leave a subconscious impression of 'he is the night crow' in the hearts of everyone present. .
In this way, it is difficult for anyone to doubt his identity.
What a wise choice. Ed is silently proud of the way he handled it.
As a result, when Ms. Heidi heard his words, the corners of her mouth twitched, feeling faintly joyful, but in the next second she shook her head and said apologetically, "Sorry, I don't have the contract paper in my hand for the time being. Let's talk about this matter at the next meeting, well, it seems that there is no next meeting, so let's talk about the solution later?"
"The paper of the contract. Isn't she a contract master? It's just a contract paper borrowed from others?" Ed was a little confused, and Suleman obviously told him that this Ms. Heidie might be a 'blood' contract master. He has prepared a solution.
As a result, from her answer, it is obvious that Ms. Heidi is not a contractor. Hey! Ed's teeth were a little gritty, but before he could respond, the man in gray robe who was sitting at the round table.
"Welcome everyone to the party, this is the last meeting of the 'Golden Song'."
"Hehehehe. It's such a nostalgic scene. Unfortunately, due to the situation, we can only stop the gathering." The gray-robed man's tone was regretful, but at the next moment, his tone suddenly rose, with extreme joy-like madness.
— that was the last madness.
"However, at the last party, I want to present a gift to everyone."
After finishing speaking, the gray-robed man looked at 'Mr. Night Crow' in the corner, and his tone suddenly turned cold: "Unexpectedly, at the party where we have acquaintances to introduce and review, there is actually an inside ghost mixed in, heh, Blue Fox has disappeared."
"He must have been murdered by you, right? Ye! Crow! Mister! Sir!!!"
"Do it!!!"
Accompanied by his angry shouts, suddenly, several extraordinary members at the party acted decisively, and Ed, who had already been vigilant, reacted quickly. The moment they acted, a phantom book appeared beside him.
Seeing this book, the gray-robed man's pupils shrank suddenly, and his tone became serious—
"really!"
"I guessed that it was someone from the ancient nobles, or even a high-level figure, and it really was you."
"'Code' Ed!!!"
