old dream

Chapter 290
Mammoth turned and walked away, turning his back on his opponent grandly, as if saying you weren't worth watching.

It wasn't until the mammoth disappeared around the corner that Emil recovered from the terrifying oppression, and hurriedly stepped forward to take out the master key of the hotel, ready to unlock the room of the Iceni spy.

Colin withdrew his gaze, turned his head and glanced at the door, and said a little tiredly:

"Don't expect anything, there will be nothing left in it."

"I know." Emil replied in a deep voice.

What exists behind the door will be a scene that has been eaten up, like the crumbs after the bones of wolves chewed.Since it was given by the Grand Duke on his own initiative, no valuable clues will be left behind.

Emil turned the handle, and the door opened with a click.

According to the description of the "Magician's Wire", the spy left his wife and children and fled.It is difficult for a person to bear such pressure alone in a foreign country, so such agencies sometimes send family members together.

But his accident may have been too sudden, so he had no spare time to take care of his wife and children, or because of the priority of the mission, this person fled the country overnight by himself.

The lights were on in the room, but at the same time there was an ominous silence.

Lily-of-the-valley and laurel-colored satins are spread everywhere, and flowers picked in the morning are placed on the cabinets and tables.In the bathroom, there is a built-in bathtub, and a bloodstain on the exquisite tiles.

Colin looked up and saw the body lying on the ground.The appearance is consistent with the photos in the newspaper, with a strong body and drooping mouth, always looking very unhappy.There is just one difference.

"He's dead," said Colin.

Emil stepped forward and squatted halfway to confirm the laxity of the pupils and the arrest of the heartbeat.In fact, this is a bit redundant. After all, everyone can see that there is a black hole on his forehead. It was not left by a bullet, because the diameter is larger and the edge is smoother than the bullet hole.

The only wound is a fatal wound, a one-hit kill.And it is located on the front, not a sneak attack, but a slaughter.Colin looked away from the corpse and swept around. There was no sign of a struggle, not even the remaining wine in the glass on the edge of the bathtub.

The informant marked the strength of this spy as the peak of Chi Erxing, the so-called "fourth type of object".But on the side, he added that he may have broken through to the female moon in the near future, otherwise it would be almost impossible to successfully escape to the Principality, so the rating should be updated to "Excellent Category [-]", which is consistent with himself and Ellie.

Colin asked himself in his heart, if he used all his abilities, overt or dark, would it be possible to kill Ellie here silently?
Impossible, at least impossible not to be noticed by others.

So the strength of that humanoid mammoth may be even more terrifying than just imagined.

Emil thought for a while and was silent for a while, reaching out to touch the eyelids of the deceased:

"...We are one step late."

He stood up and walked around twice, and began to check every detail in the suite unwillingly. Emil searched all the storage spaces, and finally he could only punch the wall angrily, and turned his head. Say:

"It's been wiped out. Operation failed!"

Tonight's experience was like a slap in the face, and the Grand Duke has always controlled everything in the palm of his hand.

But Colin was not as depressed as he was. Instead, he stared at the cold corpse on the ground and said to himself:

"But it shows that he will protect foreign spies, not because he has a connection with the Iceni, but because he wants to get something through him... So after getting it, this person is useless... That's right, That's the only way to make sense."

If you can confirm this, tonight is not in vain.Colin raised his head and looked at Emil:
"What kind of technology was stolen from the hinterland of the alliance, is there any news?"

"Not yet..." Emil recovered from the blow, and was taken aback by Colin's question.

"Then we'll check it out," said Colin.

"Step by step, turn out his underpants."

Colin has no sense of identity with either the Ankh Alliance or the distant Iceni Empire, so the loss of the alliance's technological outflow has nothing to do with him.

The only thing that interested Colin at this time was the Grand Duke.Not only because he is the target that Nancy and Anhe are going to hunt, and is the stepping stone for him to go to Baidu and reunite with Ji Lian, but also because tonight's experience really ignited his curiosity, and he sees an opportunity - set up like an altar The Capitol of the Night, the Mecha, the Mammoth, and the exterminated Iceni spies.

Grand Duke Edmund, what on earth do you want to do.

Recalling the series of collaborations he had with the Archduke when he was in Stade, the other party's behavior style seems to have always been like this, both unpredictable and superior.The pain always belongs to others, but he is the one who benefits the most.

This time, let's play against each other.

Colin said secretly in his heart.

After the operation was over, the two left the Metropolitan Theater separately.Colin left through the small door of the fire escape, and finally looked up at the flickering neon lights on the corners of the building. The mercury vapor in the vacuum tube released a blurred blue light in the current.He told himself he would come back sooner or later, and then there would be no secrets here for him.

The snow from a few days ago began to melt, and the road surface was wet and slushy with the slush.Colin wrapped his coat tightly, and couldn't help feeling a little cold because his coat had been left in the theater.He walked alone in the alley between the two buildings, still thinking about tonight's events in his mind.

Mammoth is looking for a puppet, what happened to the puppet?

Are the actions of those security personnel also related to this incident?
There is a garbage dump not far away, because the people in charge of cleaning seem to be on strike, and no one has come to take away the garbage for several days, so dirty things are overflowing from the tall iron buckets.Colin walked carefully sideways on his tiptoes, so as not to let the soles of his shoes touch the cross-flowing sewage.This made him frown.

Speaking of which, there are many exits to the Grand Theater, why did I choose the most difficult and messy exit?Although there are no street lights here, it may not be safe.

Just as he was thinking this way, the large trash can behind him fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Colin frowned and turned his head, his hands already touching the weapon.Then he saw that the pile of garbage dumped on the road seemed to move slightly.If someone is ambushing, no matter how you say it, you won't be able to bury yourself in the garbage dump.Maybe it's a wild cat or something, when he thought so, a small head got out of the debris.

That is……

Colin had read the magazine for the Grand Theatre, and Boyd Ives had turned the pages upside down for tonight's show when he came out.Photos of actors are published there...or maybe they thought they were actors at the time, but now they know dolls.

"The leading actress?"

How come here?Colin murmured puzzled.

Under the neon lights and the dim moonlight, "Lydia" carefully got out of the garbage that had accumulated for an unknown amount of time.Something, what seemed to be a splinter of wood, ran through her right leg, leaving a horrific gash there, but it didn't seem to affect her movement.Her body was very dirty, even on the fine crown on her forehead, there was a banana peel that had rotted for an unknown amount of time.

"Lydia" shook her head, shaking her hair and the rubbish in front of the crown to the ground.It seemed that it was because of the wound on her leg. The dirty woman just took a few steps forward when she staggered and lost her balance, and hugged Colin's waist as if she had fallen.
