The night goes on.

On a remote street in White Rock City, two figures appeared - Somen and Mu Coni.

The two talked in a low voice as they walked.

Mu Coni spoke up and complained slightly: "If you want me to say, what you did to the people at that auction before was completely superfluous. ”

"That's to make sure the information is accurate. "Somendao.

"But the problem is that the information we got was of no value at all - we had already guessed it - the 'classified' books, and the auction house did give them to that kid, but somehow, they were lost by that kid. ”

"......" Suomon was silent, and half spoke, "Anyway, this matter should be paid attention to, and when today's task is completed, I will report and explain the situation." ”

"As for all the fuss?" said Mu Kne, rolling her eyes, disdainful.

"It's not a fuss, it's an organization's rule. "Although I know that many of the people above are mere formalities, and even if I report it, they don't necessarily read it. But I've done my job well, and if something goes wrong, they can't trouble me. ”

"Whatever. Mu Coni shrugged her shoulders and glanced ahead, "Uh, by the way, is it somewhere?

As she spoke, Muconi stopped in front of a small courtyard made of white stones.

Somen stopped, surveyed the courtyard, and nodded, "Well, indeed." ”

"Well, get things done early and rest early. Mu Coni said, approaching the courtyard door and knocking on the door.

......

In the courtyard, in a spacious study, numerous candles are being lit and brightly lit.

In the middle of the room, there is a table on which numerous gears, metal sheets, wires, and other parts are placed.

An old man with a wrinkled face, hunched over at this time, fiddled with the parts. As he fiddled, a fist-sized precision machine gradually took shape.

After a while, the old man put the mechanical assembly on the table, and I don't know where he pressed it, and the many gears on the machine turned and made a "click" sound.

"Whew-"

The wrinkled old man looked at the machine and exhaled with a satisfied expression, and at this moment, there was a knock on the courtyard door outside.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Huh?" The old man's eyes flashed, and he was a little puzzled, he didn't know why someone came to him at such a late hour.

Glancing at the stable machinery, the old man couldn't guess the identity and intention of the knocker, so he frowned and pushed open the door and walked out.

Walking to the courtyard gate, the old man opened the door with a "squeak", looked outside, and saw that the remote street was dark and empty.

The old man frowned, closed the courtyard door, and walked back to the study with a mutter.

"Really, children nowadays are getting more and more annoying, not sleeping so late, coming out and knocking on doors, playing pranks. The old man spoke, and walked into the study, "That is, I didn't get caught, otherwise I would have been beaten very hard...... Gah!"

The old man's words came to an abrupt halt because he saw that there were inexplicably two more people in the study, a man and a woman.

The woman was holding the machine he had assembled with a little curiosity, while the man was unceremoniously rummaging through the contents of his room.

"You guys!" the old man's eyes widened, and he felt some blood surge, and shouted, "You two thieves, when did you come in......! Get out of here! You ...... Don't touch my darling, you damn bitch, don't flip through my books and scrolls. ”

The old man shouted loudly, but the man and woman were not moved at all, and continued to do their own thing, not looking at him at all.

The old man was furious, and his eyes scanned, and he saw a black wooden crutch in the corner of the wall, and he picked it up and hit the woman viciously. At this moment, the old man didn't have any pity for the jade, he just wanted to knock the woman who dared to touch his baby to the ground and snatch the baby back.

But he held the wooden crutch and slashed it down, and the woman reached out and waved it lightly, and with a "bang", the wooden crutch shattered in mid-air.

"You!" the old man's eyes widened, holding the small half-cut wooden crutch that remained in his hand, looking at the woman, then at the man, and realizing something, "You are ...... Wizard?"

No one answered his words.

The man found several papyrus scrolls from the bookshelf, walked over, opened them in front of his eyes, shook them, and asked in a loud voice, "The contents of this scroll are what you studied, right?"

"Forehead ......"

"That's good. The man's hand flicked, and the scroll disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, the woman holding the mechanical creation let out a chuckle, and with a single hand, the machine in her hand violently deformed. Various parts such as gears and wires, which were perfectly embedded in the machine, flew in all directions with a "bang".

"No!" the old man saw it, his eyes were split, his whole body trembled, he didn't know whether it was anger or fear, he looked at the man and woman and shouted, "Who the hell are you?!Why did you do this?!"

The man finally replied, "We are the ones who killed you." As for why, it's simple, because ...... Well, there are some things, some people that shouldn't be in this world. ”

"But ......"

"No, goodbye. The man said, stepped up, walked up to the old man, and lightly touched the old man's eyebrows.

The old man shook suddenly, his body fell straight back, and he fell to the ground with a "bang", and a blood hole appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and blood was flowing out continuously.

The man saw this, shook his head lightly, stretched out his finger and swiped in the air, and a golden flame was born.

The next moment, with a flick of his finger, flames flew out, suspended in mid-air, burning silently.

"Gone. The man said to the woman.

"Got it. The woman spoke, walked out of the study, and followed the man out of the courtyard.

It didn't take long for flames several meters high to rise from the courtyard and burn the entire courtyard to the ground, and the light of the fire could be seen clearly from thousands of meters.

......

"Brush!"

Two black shadows flew in the night, landing on the street, looking at the burning courtyard, eyes narrowing slightly.

"Something happened again. The first shadow shook his head and sighed.

"It's not been peaceful lately. The second dark shadow echoed, and his voice was solemn, "Some people in the city seem to need to be beaten. ”

"I hope that this time, those people will not say anything strange. The first dark shadow said worriedly.

"We can't stop talking weird things, we just need to do our own thing. The second shadow looked away, "Okay, the situation is not serious, let the rest of the people investigate slowly, we can leave." ”

"Hmm. The first shadow nodded, and the second one turned to leave.

As a result, as soon as he took a few steps, the second black shadow suddenly thought of something, turned around sharply, and patted his head: "Eh, I almost forgot." ”

As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, a silvery-white light flew out and shot into the raging flames.

The silver-white light was wrapped in a cherry-sized ice core, which exploded as soon as it touched the flames. With a "bang", the whole courtyard flew with goose-feather snowflakes, which quickly lowered the temperature, and the flames were forced down and extinguished, and a thin layer of ice formed on the ground of the entire courtyard.

The second black shadow looked at it and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it should be no problem now, you can really go." ”

"Forehead ......"

"Brush!"

Two black shadows leaped into the air and flew into the distance in the night.
