In the forgotten dark corners of the city, Zao Wou-Ki is like a giant bear walking alone in the night, slowly walking through the narrow and winding streets.

Every crack in the masonry seemed to carry the sound of his heavy footsteps, echoing in the quiet and dilapidated atmosphere.

Whenever he encounters oncoming pedestrians unexpectedly, those people who are in a hurry will subconsciously shrink their pupils after catching a glimpse of his towering figure, and then quickly retreat to both sides for this man. The man as towering as a mountain made way for an unimpeded path.

Finally, under an ancient street lamp that flickered with dim light, Zao Wou-ki locked in on the target of his trip—a simple grocery stall run and guarded by young children.

This stall is obviously mobile in nature. The wooden shelves are slightly shabby and shabby, and the table legs are rough, but they tenaciously carry a dazzling array of merchandise, like an isolated island shining alone in a remote place in the dark night.

At this moment, the entire city is shrouded in a haze of chaos and uneasiness, and in this remote place late at night, a child dares to risk his business by setting up a stall. This is undoubtedly particularly abrupt and eye-catching.

Zao Wou-Ki walked with steady steps towards the grocery stall that exuded a lonely but determined light. He looked at the various small objects placed among the rows of wooden grids seemingly casually, but in fact, every tiny movement was filled with emotion. Vigilance and vigilance are revealed in his movements and expressions.

"Old Owl told me that the quality of your goods is outstanding. He has paid a deposit in advance, and that is why I came to pick up the goods."

This sentence was like a low note rising from the calm lake. It was thick and rough, powerfully spat out from Zao Wou-ki's mouth with a beard as thick as a clump of weeds, and echoed in the silent night alley.

However, what responded to him was not the usual greetings from vendors, but a hoarse and slightly trembling voice coming from the child's mouth.

"Ah, so you are the distinguished guest. Please wait a moment. Please move to the side a little so that the man behind can see the goods clearly."

Just when Zhao Wuji turned sideways as he was told, he noticed that in the cold shadow of the street corner, a pair of cold, razor-sharp eyes were staring closely at the stall under the street lamp.

The murderous look in his eyes made even Zhao Wuji, who had been on the battlefield for many years and experienced countless life-and-death battles, feel a chill in his heart. His hair stood on end instantly, and a strong sense of crisis hit his heart like a tangible thing.

A playful yet alert smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Zhao Wuji responded calmly:

“It seems like your stall is really a ‘registered operation’!”

Although his words were joking, his eyes never left the dangerous existence hidden in the darkness.

The dwarf businessman rubbed his rough little hands with a strange and uneasy smile on his face, trying to ease the tension.

"Although my stall is inconspicuous, it is a law-abiding and serious small business."

The dwarf deliberately emphasized the words "legal business", as if to convey some kind of message to Zhao Wuji.

I saw him carefully taking out a few documents that were folded as thick as bricks from the shabby but meticulously arranged robe, respectfully handed them to Zhao Wuji, and took them from the other party's hands without hesitation. That heavy purse is full of money and goods.

In this tense atmosphere, the monitor in the darkness did not hide his presence, but tapped some device on his left hand quite naturally.

Zhao Wuji could tell at a glance that the guy was recording transaction information through his bracelet.

As the Eagle Dog of the Tiandou Empire, he was obviously determined that no one who came here to trade would dare to act rashly.

Zao Wuji was deeply disgusted with this kind of eagle dog. In order to get rid of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, he quickly calmed down his emotions and strode back to his temporary safe house.

The safe house's conference room was brightly lit, and the magic device's lights were dazzling, illuminating the room as if it were daytime.

Flanders sat on the large leather chair, leaning forward slightly with his tired body, gently stretching his stiff muscles, and then gently adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingertips.

The table was filled with intelligence materials collected with great pains from various places. These dense texts and sketches were the basis for his ongoing intelligence compilation.

At this moment, Flanders's mind has sketched out a picture that is gradually becoming clearer but still blurry. All the clues are like pieces of a puzzle waiting to be assembled. Although most of them have fallen into place, there is still a certain... Two crucial pieces of information are missing, preventing the entire picture from fully emerging.

At this moment, familiar, solid and powerful footsteps came from outside the door, and then, with a muffled sound, the heavy wooden door was pushed open by a strong hand.

It was after a day of running around that Zao Wu-Ki, who had just finished the transaction, walked into the room.

"Flanders, this is the clue I got from the intelligence agent according to your tips. I have browsed it roughly on the way. The situation is not optimistic."

Zhao Wuji handed over the text in his hand as he spoke, with a solemn expression on his face.

"The Tiandou Empire has implemented a strict blockade on all sewer exits and has deployed manpower to gradually explore in depth. It is estimated that the hiding place of Ross and his gang will be found as soon as tomorrow, or even tonight."

Flanders took the information from Zhao Wuji and quickly scanned and digested its contents.

"Using quantitative changes to lead to qualitative changes, and advancing step by step through carpet searches, is indeed the empire's consistent method, but it is also effective. We don't have much time, we must act before them."

Flanders dug out some marked texts from the chaotic pile of documents and carefully compared them with the information in front of him.

As he spoke, he accurately picked out several marked documents from the messy pile of documents on the table, and carefully compared them with the new information brought by Zhao Wuji.

"After all, those high-ranking officials will not easily share the information they have worked so hard to dig up. If we want to avenge Lu Qibin, we can only rely on our own strength."

As Flanders spoke, he stood up and walked towards the huge sewer map of Soto City hanging on the wall behind him. He focused on a specific area with sharp eyes and circled it heavily.

"Ha, I found you!"

The information he compared before was the homeless man who disappeared inexplicably after the city-wide carnival and before the food crisis.

The homeless people in Soto City sometimes hide in the complex and dark sewer system to avoid being evicted.

There are various possibilities for their disappearance, but the sudden disappearance of a large number can only mean one thing, they are getting in the way of some ruthless people.

"Old Zhao, tell Qin Ming these things face to face."

Although Zhao Wuji had some grudge against the Imperial Eagle Dog he met before, under Flanders' determined gaze, he finally nodded, turned around and walked out of the conference room.

"Let's see what surprises our outstanding apprentice can bring us."

Qin Ming sat at his desk, clutching the intelligence document he had just received from his mentor Zhao Wuji.

The texture of this paper has a familiar coldness, but it also seems to contain fiery power, just like the warmth conveyed by Zao Wou-ki's calloused hands. Scenes from the past emerged in his mind: the journey of struggling and climbing in Huangdou Academy, and finally being promoted to a teaching position, as well as the consistent strictness and care of Teacher Zao Wuji.

I remembered the subtle anger hanging on the corner of Teacher Zhao Wuji's mouth at that time, and the force with which this information was put into his palm. How can we not understand the meaning of these things?

Now, as a sharp sword under the command of Queen Qian Renxue of the Tiandou Empire, Qin Ming deeply understands that behind those seemingly ordinary orders, they actually affect the interests and strategic layout of the core of the empire.

He clearly remembered that the recent series of events originated from a secret order from His Majesty Qian Renxue.

Qin Ming stood up and walked slowly to the window. Outside the window was the brightly lit aristocratic district. Even though the city was facing the threat of famine at the moment, the prosperity there was still not reduced by half.

Through the glass of the window, he seemed to see two worlds

——One is the nouveau riche who are prosperous and prosperous, and the other is the real world where the people at the bottom are struggling to find some precious food.

"Sure enough, Teacher Zhao Wuji still sneers at these people from the empire as before." Qin Ming thought to himself.

Principal Flender's intention was clearly visible to him. He wanted to use Qin Ming as a chess piece to skillfully leverage the complex political situation, and he even did not hesitate to let intelligence personnel become the vanguard of the charge.

This careful calculation and unyielding character are undoubtedly the embodiment of Principal Friend's consistent style.

Recalling the green years he spent in Shrek Academy, Qin Ming couldn't help but evoke a warm smile on his lips.

At that time, he and his partners grew up together and experienced ups and downs together. That memory has been deeply imprinted in his soul and has become an indelible part.

Despite this, Qin Ming did not lose his way due to personal emotions. He repeatedly weighed the potential risks and possible gains of this operation in his mind. After some careful consideration, he decided to report this information to the relevant person in charge of the Tiandou Empire.

He knew that although the influence of Wuhun Palace and Little Reincarnation Academy had become increasingly obvious in recent months, the belief from Shrek Academy was ultimately the most solid rock in his heart. This influence was far more profound than any short-term camp influence. Much more.

With the submission of this key piece of information, the huge intelligence network began to slowly start up like a sophisticated machine.

In the archives in every corner, long-dusted documents were opened by pairs of well-trained hands, and detailed and secret information about the local conditions were unearthed one by one from the files piled with traces of time.

This precious information is pasted page by page on the intelligence analysis board, and the intricate network of relationships is accurately marked through a logical grid woven by threads and needles.

The secret base in Lodz was originally a mausoleum for an ancient and unknown noble. When the underground construction project accidentally touched this area, no specific record traces were left on the engineering drawings. It was like a place forgotten by history. corner of.

As time goes by, this mysterious place gradually becomes a secret stronghold for the marginalized groups living at the bottom of the city. They gather here and carry out activities that are hidden from the light of day.

However, under the surging undercurrent, this land that was originally ignored by the world has quietly transformed into an important intelligence safe house deployed by the Star Luo Empire.

Now that the truth has emerged, for those agents who are well versed in such high-risk covert operations, how to formulate precise penetration plans and uniform plans based on the unique structure of this place can be easily accomplished by using the experience and skills accumulated over the years. It’s just a task to deal with.

At this time, Ross was like a cunning fox who was alone in the world. He had already been keenly aware of the hidden crisis here before the intelligence personnel of the Tiandou Empire took action.

He stood on the rooftop of an inconspicuous small building on the edge of the wealthy area, using the dim light cast by the crescent moon hanging in the night sky to leisurely examine the "landscape" shrouded in tension.

"Those eagle dogs of the Tiandou Empire still maintain their usual stupidity."

The corners of Ross's mouth curved into a mocking arc, and his eyes shone with wisdom, "Such a blind large-scale action without being silent is tantamount to alerting others and will only make others laugh. "

He gently swayed the wine glass in his hand, and the crystal clear liquid glowed with an alluring luster under the new moon, as if he was showing the heavens the dilemma his opponent was about to face in this way.

"I wonder if this 'gift' I specially prepared for them tonight will surprise these self-righteous big shots?"

He toasted to the crescent moon in the sky and tasted it slowly.

On the street not far away, a group of figures wearing tight and smart clothes gradually appeared. They were the elite commandos carefully selected in this operation.

Each team member is fully armed, and hidden under the heavy coat is a variety of sophisticated and complex equipment, enough to deal with any emergency.

In order to ensure the smooth execution of this key mission that the Queen attaches great importance to, the commander did not hesitate to transfer a number of precious soul tools from the mysterious and powerful Little Reincarnation Palace as support.

As the khaki soul power fluctuations quietly flowed between each team member, a strange formation-like pattern slowly formed among them.

Since Mu Zhe made public a large amount of information about the cultivation and application of soul power, Huangdou Academy has also made breakthrough progress in the research on the mechanism of soul fusion.

At this moment, their research results will show their true power on the front line of actual combat.

The moment the formation pattern was gradually completed, a strong vibration spread from the center of the formation, like thunder. Immediately afterwards, the ground beneath the commandos suddenly cracked, and with the sound of broken bricks and rubble, they were sucked into the huge tomb hidden deep underground.

What greeted them was not the violent attack they expected, but a profound silence, like the calm before the storm. This eerie calm is heart-wrenching.

"No!" The captain's sharp shout was like thunder exploding in the night sky. All the team members immediately tensed up their nerves and slapped the soul guidance device activation device on their waists without hesitation, preparing to deal with the crisis that might come at any time.

Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion carefully planned by Rhodes exploded in the underground tomb, sweeping out like hell fire, shaking the heart of the entire city.

On the balcony in the distance, Ross leaned against the railing, leisurely admiring his masterpiece, with a satisfied smile on his lips.

However, when the smoke and dust generated by the explosion gradually dissipated, his keen eyes caught something strange - the commandos who should have been turned into powder in the explosion were now standing unharmed within a huge transparent shield.

That was the modular rune defense cover that had previously shone brightly in the fire of the Small Reincarnation Palace. It withstood this devastating attack with its magical power.

Seeing that his carefully laid trap was cracked, Ross's face changed slightly, anger and frustration intertwined, and he angrily smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

The crisp cracking sound, accompanied by the splashing crystal shards and spilled wine, spread far away in the slightly silent night, like a whine for his failure.

At the same moment, Flanders, the cunning owl hiding in the darkness of the street corner not far away, caught this clear signal with his sensitive ears. His eyes flickered, as if he had found the direction of his prey in the darkness.

"Finally found you! Ross!" Flender's deep voice echoed in the night wind, "Today, Shrek will make you pay with blood. What you have done will come to an end tonight!" (End of chapter)
