In the afternoon of the same day.

"Durang," Alice said telepathically, walking down the street, "I'm being followed. ”

Du Lang: "What's going on?" ”

Alice: "Along the way, every beggar begging for food on the side of the road will spy on me. ”

Du Lang: "Maybe it's because of your looks?" ”

Alice: "No, if it's a lust, I can see it in my eyes." These people's eyes were calm and devoid of any excess emotion, but the average time their gaze stayed on me longer than other passers-by. I think they should have come to spy on me, most likely Chino's eyeliner. ”

"Chino knows that you are a processor, and he must also know that your perception is far beyond ordinary people, how could he activate these rookies..."Du Lang thought for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and asked quickly, "I have a question, if it was changed to before, that is, in the previous life, can you find these people?" ”

Alice affirmed, "No." These beggars are not rookies, they are very professional! If it weren't for the fact that I specialized in the assassination department in the reincarnation world, and my static and dynamic vision and sixth sense of mind were greatly enhanced, it would have been impossible to detect them. ”

"Good, Chino is showing a flaw!" Durang's voice was full of power, and he said excitedly, "These beggars are not deliberately exposed, they are really stalking you. Now, your every move will be passed on to Chino. ”

Alice: "What do you want me to do?" ”

Durang: "Listen, we have two heads. ”

"One, Chino has enabled these beggars with excellent detection skills, but his cognition of you is still stuck in his previous life, and he does not realize that your perception has been greatly enhanced, and these eyeliners have been exposed."

"Two, he doesn't know that you and I communicate telepathically."

"We're going to use these two points to mislead him!"

"Now, leave these beggars alone, pretend you don't know anything, and then go to the city gates as originally planned to find out the reason for your own exposure."

"Got it." Alice looked natural and continued to walk towards the city gate.

She came to the east gate where she had entered the city, bought an oatmeal, and sat at a roadside stall to eat it.

At the same time, her gaze scanned the vicinity, looking for clues.

The city gate is very lively, with a lot of traffic, people coming and going, and the guards' inspection procedures are also very routine, and at first glance there is no abnormality.

Alice closed her eyes, a heavy pressure faintly emanated from her body, and when she opened her eyes again, strange ripples appeared in her eyes, and the objects in front of her eyes instantly turned into a spectrum of constantly changing wavelengths.

Thermal perception, which is a skill of the assassination system, can see the heat of surrounding objects, which is equivalent to a thermal imager with the naked eye.

There are a lot of mobile heat sources in front of me, and now it is the 27th of God Blessing, and the temperature is getting cooler, and people's body surface temperature is 0.5 to 1 °C lower than that in the body.

In contrast, those with a high skin temperature will become very conspicuous.

In addition to some slave laborers who carried heavy loads, Alice found a man sitting quietly in the dark, but with a very high body temperature.

Alice had actually seen this person before she turned on her thermal sense, but she didn't suspect that she was just sitting and occasionally moving her hands, without much other movement.

Having such a high body temperature during meditation only meant one thing – his body was working at high speed.

Alice turned off her thermal sense, and her gaze began to focus on the man, and her static vision continued to advance, and the details she saw became clearer and clearer.

After about ten seconds, she saw the man put a piece of paper in the box next to her, and at the same time saw the drawing on the paper...

"Durang, I know why I was exposed." Alice said telepathically, "Chino has installed painters at the gates of the city, and they are all sketchers who draw wanted images. When I entered the city, the sketcher drew my face and passed it to Chino. ”

"Very good, very good," Du Lang pondered for a moment, and said silently, "Your second mission, to make friends in the city." ”

Alice was puzzled: "Make friends? What do you mean? ”

Du Lang: "It's just to talk to people as much as possible, it doesn't matter what the chat is, when you meet a man, you can talk to a few words and make some small gestures to hand things." You should be pretty good at this. ”

Alice was a little helpless: "When I was a processor, my communicative skills were indeed among the best in the organization, but I didn't understand the meaning of doing this. ”

"You'll understand. Now, do it. ”

"Got it."

...

Late that night, Paladin hurriedly knocked on the office door and ran in in a cold sweat: "My lord, all the sketchers we have planted in the four city gates have been assassinated, and none of them have survived!" ”

Chino was eating candy, and when he heard the news, the movement on his mouth stopped, and after a long silence, he squinted and asked, "What do his people say about Varta's side?" ”

Paladin snapped, "The beggar under Varta has been keeping an eye on the woman named Alice, who has been near the East Gate this afternoon, and has been drinking in the tavern ever since, talking to more than forty men, and doing nothing else. ”

Chino's eyebrows furrowed even tighter: "Among the more than forty men, how many of them entered the city after the 25th of God's blessing?" ”

"I've checked it for you, and most of them are locals who have always lived here. There were 13 who were not locals, and 9 of them entered the city after the 25th of God's Blessing. ”

"Go and give Lugo an order, kill all 9 of them."

Paladin was stunned, but he was used to not questioning Chino's orders, and went straight to the order.

...

4 hours later, 3 a.m.

Chino's desk was piled with candy wrappers, and he had already eaten several pounds of sugar.

Lugo returned with Paladin, and Lugo reported, "It's done, because the city is patrolled by night watchmen, and a lot of hands and feet have been wasted." ”

Chino: "Kill them all?" ”

Lugo: "Kill them all." ”

"Click." Chino put the candy in his mouth, crushed it with his tiger teeth, and chewed slowly.

Impossible.

The countdown to the invasion came on the 25th of Divine Blessing, and only those who entered the city after that could be reincarnated.

On the 25th of Divine Blessing, he had already exchanged his esteem points for a set of radio signal shielding devices, covering the entire city, blocking the possibility of long-range communication for the reincarnation team.

In other words, if Alice finds out at the East Gate this afternoon and passes the information on to her companions to assassinate the shortwriter, her companion must be the person she has come into contact with in person, that is, one of the nine people.

Now that Lugo has killed all 9 of these people, even the B-class reincarnation disguise should be invalid.

However, in the brand of the denier, there is no change in the countdown, and there is no indication that the reincarnation disguise has failed.

There are only two possibilities: either these nine people are innocent and not reincarnated; Or, the other party has enabled B-level or above, that is, A-level or S-class reincarnation camouflage.

The second possibility is very small, this is the second wave of reincarnation invasion, if a reincarnation team can afford A-level or S-class reincarnation disguise, their own strength must far exceed this class.

The reincarnation of this class came to Twilight City to definitely kill at a higher level, it was impossible to hide it for so long, and the Supreme Being would not have made such an outrageous difference in combat power.

But if none of these 9 people are reincarnators, how did Alice get the information out?

Chino thought of a possibility and asked, "Did Alice lose or put anything on it today?" ”

Paladin was stunned: "This... Haven't asked about Varta yet. ”

"Ask now! If she throws something into the garbage, find the person who has gone through it. If she left anything in the tavern, find out the waiter who was in charge of cleaning up. All those who have come into contact with and seen these things are to find out, and if any of them enter the city after 25 days with the blessing of God, they will all be killed. ”

At this moment, even a murderous mercenary like Lugo was shocked: "That's going to kill dozens of people." ”

Paladin secretly elbowed Lugo.

Lugo caught a glimpse of Chino's expressionless face, realizing that he was talking too much, and he said in a deep voice, "Give me some time, and I'll do it at once." ”
