Night.

The courtyard where Richard lived.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knock on the door, Richard opened the door, and Muen, who was tightly wrapped in a black robe, walked in.

The moment Mu En saw Richard, he was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but speak: "Your Excellency Richard, you look ...... Well, I'm tired, is there anything bad going on?"

"Well, nothing. Richard waved his hand and said, there is really nothing, the reason why he seems tired is completely tired from being busy cleaning up the Garden of Eden, which has been turned into ruins.

Richard wasn't going to discuss this topic more, looked at Mu En, and said directly: "Tell me about the latest situation over there." In the future, I may not be in touch with you too much for a while, and I need to deal with some trivial things. ”

"Oh, that's it. Mu En nodded, didn't ramble, and quickly reported: "Regarding the girl named Heidi, I still haven't found any clues, but in terms of information about the Black Spirit Empire, according to the breakthrough point you provided last time, Your Excellency Richard, I have been tracking it down, and I have gained a lot."

Many wizards have indeed reacted to the Rotten Pine Lane incident, but my people have not been able to get anything more important yet, so they need to continue to wait patiently. ”

Richard nodded: "This is understandable. ”

"Finally, the group of malicious arson you mentioned, Your Excellency Richard. Mu En said, "I have been very cautious in contact with the other party's people a few times, but the other party is very difficult, and several times directly grabbed my ears and eyes and forced me to interrogate." ”

"You should be taking precautions, right?" asked Richard.

"Well, it's done. Mu En replied, "According to what you suggested earlier, in a high-risk operation like this, the connection between the ears and eyes is one-line. The person who finally acts, except for the content of the action, has no idea the reason for the action and other information at all. After they were caught, I cut off the entire line they were on in time to ensure that the other party would never find out where the source was. ”

"That's good. Richard said, "However, even if the other party can't find the source, you must be vigilant, and your actions can be appropriately reduced." ”

"Okay, I will. ”

"That's good. Richard said, "It seems that everything is normal on your side, so I can rest assured." Next, don't be rash, be steady, the first priority is not to make mistakes, collect information about the target little by little, and wait for me to contact you later. ”

"I made a note of it. Mu En said seriously, "Then, if there is nothing else, I will leave first?" After all, according to what you said, the longer and more times we have contact, the less conducive it is to secrecy. ”

"Okay, goodbye then. Richard said, "Be careful and stay safe." ”

"Hmm. Mu En responded, quickly walked out the door, and disappeared into the night.

Richard glanced at the door and was about to enter the Garden of Eden to continue packing, after all, the reconstruction of the Garden of Eden "has a long way to go". But at the moment of turning around, he suddenly sensed something, and the movement of turning around stopped, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

......

Outside the door.

In the night, Mu En, dressed in a black robe, walked quietly and quickly along the remote alley, like a ghost in the dark night.

But as he walked, his steps slowed, he turned his head sharply to look in the direction behind him, his brows furrowed, and he said to himself: "Someone is following? Isn't it? Maybe it's an illusion." Well, delusion. ”

The last word fell, and Mu En stepped on it suddenly, and the whole person almost turned into a black shadow, bursting out at an extremely high speed, and swept towards the front, and it only took a few steps to reach the end of an alley.

Mu En jumped up, first stepping on the wall, and then stepping on the air with his other foot, as if stepping on an entity, and quickly turned over to the outside of the alley.

Beyond the alley, there was a wide street, and Mu En hurried against the side of the street, turning sharply, and then entering another alley, turning into a house in the alley, and turning out in the opposite direction.

Next, Mu En's performance was like a natural enemy chasing behind him, fleeing frantically, with the help of the Zero Ring Spell, parkour-like climbing over many obstacles, constantly passing through the incomparably complex Florentine City, so fast that he almost threw off his shadow.

And so, half an hour later, Muen disappeared into the streets and alleys of Florence, appearing in an abandoned, dirty courtyard in a slum.

There was a large pile of planks piled up in the corner of the courtyard, and Muen hid behind them, looking out vigilantly through the gaps between the planks, trying to control his breathing, trying not to make any suspicious noises.

Time passes quickly.

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

In the blink of an eye, a full hour passed, and the time had entered the middle of the night, and the courtyard was silent.

"Squeak squeak—"

The plank was moved, and Mu En walked out of his hiding place, stood in the courtyard and looked around, and found that there was no suspicious existence, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

As he had been walking before, he sensed for a split second that someone was following him. The perception was so weak, almost like unfounded speculation, but he didn't hesitate and ran here with all his might.

Because someone told him that for the sake of safety, it is better to be too sensitive to be taken for a fool than to be a real corpse.

It seems that he doesn't have to be a corpse.

Thinking like this, Mu En was about to leave the courtyard with one step, but as soon as he took two steps, he suddenly had a hair all over his body exploded, and when he turned around suddenly, he saw a tall figure standing behind him.

The other party is at least one meter eight meters tall, weighs more than two hundred and fifty pounds, stands up like a wall, sits down like a mountain, I don't know when, quietly appeared in this courtyard, if it wasn't for the moon shining the other party's shadow, he wouldn't have found the other party at all.

Looking at the other party, Mu En's whole body muscles were tense, his throat was dry for a while, and the whole person was highly nervous, although he didn't have any communication with the other party, he had already guessed that the other party had no good intentions.

Clenching his fists, Mu En tried to keep his composure, looking at the other party and exclaiming: "You...... Who are you?" Trying to stall and learn more about the other person, maybe you can increase your chances of escape. As for killing the other party in battle? Just kidding, in his life, there has never been such a thing as a hard fight, he is an intelligence monger, not a fighter.

At this time, the other party spoke, looked over, and said with some amusement: "I, don't you know? After all, lately, you've been investigating us, both openly and secretly. I have to say that your methods of investigating us are still very skillful, even if we catch your people, we can't ask anything, you rat is hiding deep enough.

To be honest, if I hadn't used a stupid method to make sure that you might have appeared around here, kept guarding, and then happened to run into you appearing, I really don't know when I would have caught you.

Now, if you fall into my hands, you won't be able to escape. Tell us all about the purpose of your investigation, and I'll give you a good time. Otherwise, you will be tormented. ”

Hearing this, Mu En pursed his lips and looked at the tall figure, not doubting that the other party would do what he said. In the process of investigating with ears and eyes, he has already understood some of the other party's methods, and it is because of this that he will not hesitate to cut off the entire line to ensure safety, but who knows but still miscalculated.

In this case......

Mu En gritted his teeth, his heart restless, his eyes constantly rolling, trying to find a way to turn the situation around. The next moment I suddenly saw something, first stunned, then my expression calmed, and finally I looked at the tall figure, and even laughed.
