Chapter 582: Secret Guards and Spies
Imperial calendar, summer 2086, a year flies by.
On the noisy streets of Kanins City, a pair of good-looking young lovers seemed to be avoiding something.
"Shirley, don't go into the alley." At a slightly dark corner of the street, the man stopped the direction his female companion had chosen.
"Have you not read the information? There may be more eyes in the remote area of Cannes than in the city hall." After grabbing his female companion, the man pulled her into a fashionable clothing store on the street.
When the two of them walked out of the clothing store again, they both put on clothes that had a completely different look from before.
After sorting out her emotions and calming her breathing, the woman's arm naturally held the man's arm. The two pointed at the shops on the street. Suddenly, a shadow obscured their figures, and a huge ghost claw reached in front of them.
"Hi, Shidao Burger House is open at a special price. It's a three-day couple's day. You two can go and sit down if you have time." A rough voice.
The nearly seven-meter-high Otara demon held a pink balloon in its claws. He handed the balloon, which was clearly printed with a store advertisement, to the woman. Looking at the other person's arm, which was two circles thicker than her waist, the woman subconsciously took it. The rope holding the balloon.
The corpse demon, the corpse demon that made a man and a woman almost draw their swords. This guy's appearance was much scarier than the person they were hiding from, but from what he said, the corpse demon might just be a young ghost doing odd jobs.
The two of them have long been familiar with all kinds of weird things in Cannes City, and now the streets are no longer full of skeletons and undead.
After taking the balloon, looking at the somewhat eye-catching advertising pictures on the balloon, the woman wanted to throw away the balloon, but looked back at the Otala Corpse Demon who was 'smiling' at her with a stiff expression. The woman wisely put the rope away. He held it firmly in his hand.
It doesn't matter whether you go to a burger restaurant or not. It's not easy for people to hand out flyers. It's better not to throw away the balloon. . .
"Puff~puff~!" There were two sounds of sharp weapons entering the body.
"Papa~~" The electric current carried by the crossbow cone caused a young couple to fall to the ground and twitch.
On the streets that were noisy just now, with the couple at the center, there was a moment of silence and stagnation in the surrounding people.
Killing in the street? The passers-by around were hesitant, but the eyes of the couple who were attacked were blank. They had been observing their surroundings, and they didn't see anyone suspicious in the direction where the short arrow came from earlier.
Holding back the feeling of fainting and stinging pain, the two saw that the corpse demon who sent the balloon earlier seemed to want to step forward to protect them. His movements were a bit clumsy and he obviously had no fighting qualities, but he should be a good person.
But when the corpse demon saw the two short steel arrows stuck on their shoulders, he saw a look of disgust on the corpse demon's stiff face.
Yes, he disliked them, and then the corpse demon acted as if he hadn't seen them, turned his face and continued to 'threaten' passers-by to pick up his balloon.
Not only the corpse demons, but also the humans passing by them. Even if some people exclaimed at first, they ignored them in the blink of an eye, as if they couldn't see them at all.
At the same time, the two also saw the existence attacking them, an individual with a certain number? An individual was carrying two bags of garbage in his hand and seemed to be working in a Chinese restaurant on the street.
And she ignored them. After the guy shot them, he continued to throw away the garbage. . .
"Chi~" A commercial vehicle with a black raven logo parked on the side of the road.
The car door opened, and two silver-haired women with similar looks threw the injured couple into the car. When exposed to the electric light in the hands of the strangers, the injured couple almost became incontinent on the spot, but their bodies could no longer move at all.
The vehicles drove away, and everything on the city streets was as normal. Everything just now seemed to be an illusion.
Perhaps it was because the steel arrow that hurt the couple was special, so no one paid attention to them.
Kanins City pays more attention to the practice of crossbow shooting. In order to be able to reuse it, the good materials here are used by the lords to make crossbow arrows, and the short steel arrows just now are known to the locals. It is a weapon specially designed for urban secret guards.
There is only one kind of person who will be attacked by them, and that is the detectives and spies who lurk in Cannes and have spied on some non-public areas of Cannes.
"Name, affiliation." In the commercial vehicle, an individual with a serial number asked the two people who were handcuffed.
"Barney Detective Agency, we don't mean any harm, and the employer didn't reveal the details." The man named Barney seemed to be very used to this kind of situation. He endured the pain with a groan and answered the inquiry in a somewhat professional manner.
"Have you thought about it?" Next to the cold-faced individual, another individual showed a smiling expression.
"Huh?" Barney and Shirley were confused.
"You stayed outside Feilong Ridge for two days under the pretext of camping, and stayed one night at Nigel Farm. Yesterday, you went to Aqua Church to attend the service. At night, you opened a private room in the Fall, but you went out in hiding, trying to Sneak into the Dusk Villa of Scholomance Academy.”
The numbered individual with a smile on his face briefly told the two of them their recent itinerary. The two of them did not show any surprise. They didn't know what the other wanted to do, so they pursed their lips and waited for the other to continue speaking.
"You need to understand that we are not judges and we will not judge you. Some things do not require much evidence."
"If you were just a private detective agency, we wouldn't ask too much about your employer."
"But..." As the numbered individual spoke, she even pulled out the short arrows on the two people and used healing magic on them, but the two slave collars were thrown next to Barney and Shirley.
"You... You can't do this, this is a crime!" The slave collars made the two people furious.
This kind of thing has nothing to do with the devil's contract. To put it another way, it can also be called a training belt. If the owner of the collar pays attention to it, it is very difficult to self-harm and commit suicide when wearing this kind of thing.
"It's normal for two private detectives to disappear. It's okay if they are not found. Moreover, there are many people who voluntarily wear this kind of thing for money."
"Believe me, it's not difficult to add this money to your account. And those who are interested in you will also make up this money. Of course, these are no longer yours, including your body, or, offspring?"
The numbered individual shook his head and looked up and down at Shirley, as if he was judging a commodity.
"Then I'll ask again, subordinate." The serial number individual who had been cold all the time seemed impatient and spoke again.
"Speak, we will give the emperor's wallet to Princess Ingrid, and we will give the people of Blood Moon City to Elzak. As for the agents of other countries, we will consider recruiting them based on your personal abilities and the information you can provide. The treatment here is still good."
"If it is a royal power, we don't want to provoke the royal power, so we may ask you to get out. As for the crown, at most we will ask the other party to give us an explanation."
"Speak, the matter is not as serious as you think, anyway, you didn't steal anything." The smiling serial number individual took a slave collar and opened and closed the collar to play with it.
The two were silent, but this silence seemed to be the two people's expression that they did have a subordinate behind them. Seeing that the two were hypocritical, the serial number individual took the collar and put it directly on Shirley's neck.
"Blood Moon City! We are from the Elders' Council!" Shirley twisted her body and exclaimed to dodge.
"Oh, then do you want to see Elzak or Setsuna?" The smiling individual stopped what he was doing and gradually put away the smile on his face.
Elzak and Setsuna are both vampires, but they come from two different factions. Relying on their relationship with Mu Hua in the early years, the vampires in the academy were regarded as a communication channel between them and Mu Hua, and they have been stranded in the Psychic Academy, but their identities have changed from students in the early years to teachers now.
And as the Blood Moon City repeatedly sent spies to Caines City without communicating with them, Elzak and his friends have already had the idea of joining Mu Hua.
After all, Mu Hua sent spies to them again and again, and the embarrassment made them very angry, and they were not sure when the Blood Moon City would really poke Mu Hua's pain. If they died unjustly in Mu Hua's hands at that time, they would not even have a place to reason.
"Setsuna, we want to see Setsuna." Following the inquiry of the individual, Barney said calmly.
"Are you sure?" the numbered individual asked, and the two looked at each other and nodded. You know, Setsuna is from the neutral faction, and neutrality is not a good person. On the contrary, in many cases, neutrality may be more complicated, and her temper is much worse than Elzak.
"Let's go to the Psychic Academy." The numbered individual who interrogated the two patted the front seat and said to the driver.
"I need to remind you that Setsuna generally doesn't kill people easily." Turning his head and saying another word to the two, the numbered individual no longer paid attention to the two.
No matter whether the person is handed over to Ingrid or Elzak, it is not the end of the matter.
That is just to hand over the interrogation and other things to them. The spies and agents caught by Meiling's men basically don't expect to leave the city of Caines alive.
Mu Hua has been ruthless enough in this regard, but this kind of spying has never stopped. Sometimes, human life is really worthless.
Thinking that the recent exploration from the Blood Moon City seems to be more frequent, a numbered individual called Meiling. (End of this chapter)
