Pale Red
The capital, Moxi's Tavern.
This is a special bar open only to VIP members, open only at 10 p. m. and closes at 5 a. m.
Members of the Special Operations Department occasionally come here for a drink.
tonight.
Yu Ze, Yun, and two other investigators who are not of Huaxia Nation have booked a private room here.
A special plan map lay on the table.
Various cut-out newspapers, cards, and hand-drawn papers are pasted on it, all ultimately pointing to a specific target, a dangerous target related to monsters.
Detailed action plans will be formulated tonight, and action will begin.
There are currently three available routes of action, and it is impossible to determine which route is the best based on the Bright Side clues. This is where Yu Ze's abilities come in handy.
Yu Ze drew three talismans representing different actions on the spot and placed them side by side on the table.
He then tossed a string of copper coins high into the air with his eyes closed.
The route that drops the most copper coins from the talisman indicates which route is the best.
They used to do this all the time, and it always worked very well.
Throw!
Dozens of copper coins were tossed into the air.
The talisman on the left side has the most copper coins, more than twice as many as the others, which means we can start tonight's operation immediately.
But Yu Ze, the one casting the spell, looked surprised. He bent down and picked up a copper coin that had missed landing on the talisman from under the table.
impossible.
He had bound the talisman and the copper coin together in advance in some way, so that they wouldn't fall outside the talisman, something that had never happened before.
There are only two possibilities for this to happen.
First, Yu Ze was in poor condition and unable to concentrate.
Secondly, some kind of "cause and effect" related to him disturbed the spellcasting just now.
Yu Ze took a nap in the afternoon and drank some special fermented rice wine that evening to refresh himself, so he was in excellent condition.
He tried throwing it again.
Bang!
This time, three copper coins fell outside, and one even landed right in the wine glass, splashing the deep red wine all over the table.
"Senior brother!"
"Yu Ze, what's going on? Were there any distractions during tonight's operation?"
Everyone has noticed a certain problem.
"No... it's something else." Yu Ze went through all the things that had happened to him recently, and when he got to a certain person, a bead of cold sweat broke out on his temple, and his fingers trembled.
He suppressed his surprise as much as possible and pretended nothing was wrong in front of his colleagues.
"There are no problems with tonight's operation; there are no interferences, and it can be completed smoothly using Plan One. The problem lies with me; something has happened in the world connected to me, and I may have to rush over there tonight to deal with it."
you..."
Before Yu Ze could finish speaking, a woman with red lips sitting opposite him interrupted in Russian: "Go do your thing."
"Okay, this time it's on me."
Yu Ze downed his drink in one gulp, left the private room early, and settled the related expenses.
In less than five minutes, Yu Ze had already appeared near the "train station," which is the orbit connecting the capital city and the Moon City.
He needs to get closer to have his divination done again; he needs to get a more accurate result.
Unexpectedly, Yu Ze began to count on his fingers, a passenger in a hurry to catch a train happened to pass by him.
The heavy suitcase being dragged accidentally bumped into Yu Ze's elbow, and the impact caused his fingernails to dig into his skin.
Seeing the blood seeping out and even overflowing his entire palm, Yu Ze's expression changed drastically.
He then looked up at the moon hanging in the sky.
For some reason,
He could even see the faint red spots appearing on the moon's surface.
"Fellow villager..."
[Moon Ring Street]
Luo Di stood once again on the opposite sidewalk, across the street, looking at the concrete skyscraper that stood in the city center but no one approached.
Traffic light switching
Step onto the sidewalk,
He approached the tall building again, just like he had a few hours earlier, but Luo Di's state of mind had completely changed.
His previously expressionless, cold face was now radiating warmth; a certain excitement and determination were pulling at his facial muscles, putting him in a relaxed, even happy, state.
As you approach the building,
The Venerable One's spiritual domain once again enveloped him, monitoring his every move.
However, this time, the Venerable One sensed that Luo Di was no longer as tense and filled with killing intent as before.
It is a state of complete relaxation, a letting go of guard.
This change led the Venerable One to believe that Luo Di had made the decision to cooperate with the organization, so he stood in the meditation room waiting for Roddy to arrive and for the cooperation to be reached.
Entering the building,
Enter the long corridor on the first floor.
La la la~ Luo Di actually started humming a little tune, a folk song he often heard in his childhood.
Music moves the body.
It's no longer a simple walk, but a light and bouncy stride, just like the feeling of walking home from school as a child.
Step into the elevator car.
There was no sign of murderous intent.
Luo Di's face beamed with an absolutely sunny smile as he waited for the elevator to reach the top floor.
Bite!
The elevator doors opened.
He once again entered the meditation room, which was constructed from countless brains, and watched the little snacks being enjoyed, while his gold-rimmed glasses stared at the returning Venerable One.
"I knew Mr. Di would come back~ After all, we are too well-matched."
"I've already drafted the contract; all you need to do is sign your name. Tonight, I'll arrange a hunting activity to suit your tastes, Mr. Di, to help you replenish the nutrients your pituitary gland needs."
As the Venerable One handed over the contract,
Luo Di maintained the same smile, offering no verbal response, and walked straight up to them.
He reached out as if to take the contract.
In reality, an invisible spirit emerged from the back of his hand, resembling both a finger and a tentacle, and with lightning speed stabbed at the Venerable One's hand holding the contract.
Through mark.
A streak of gray immediately burrowed into the other person's body along the wound, heading towards the brain.
"You!!"
The Venerable One's reaction was equally swift.
An extremely powerful mental shock came directly to Luo Di's brain, instantly shutting it down.
At the same time, root-like structures resembling neurons grew in the meditation room, attempting to bind Luo Di's body.
The closure of the brain does not affect Luo Di's activities, nor even his consciousness. His consciousness is no longer dependent on the brain; the spine is the true center.
A certain intense heat spread out.
The sound of chainsaws echoed inside the house.
Whoosh!
The approaching neurons were instantly severed!
The Venerable One, who was trying to retreat, only saw a metal chain fly straight towards him, and the next second it pierced through his abdomen and began to pull.
Moreover, the gray tinge spreading across his brain actually caused him to feel intense fear, affecting all his movements and slowing down his thinking considerably.
Snap!
Pull the chain back.
The Venerable One's body was hooked back to Luo Di's side, his head held tightly in his hand.
There's only one odd thing.
The Venerable One was not afraid of Luo Di's form; he seemed more worried about the color left in his body and whether it would affect his brain.
Luo Di noticed this as well. The other party seemed to care nothing for death and was not afraid of the impending execution. Instead, he was fighting against the colors that were spreading through his brain.
Since that's the case, Luo Di will not be executed.
Gaga~
Before the blade even reached it, the tentacle entered its mouth!
One by one, Color Tentacles from Luo Di's body were poured into the Venerable One's mouth and inserted into his brain.
At the crucial moment!
Snap!
The Venerable One's brain exploded like a time bomb, blasting Luo Di several meters away.
Looking at the headless corpse lying on the ground,
Looking at his hand, which had been blown off and was bleeding, he...
"As expected, the real body isn't here... However, I've already marked it with my color! Even if it's faint, as long as I'm in Moon City, I can find it."
The nutrients from the spine allow the injured hand to heal quickly.
Luo Di quickly picked up the butcher knife and began cutting along the edge of the pure white house, circling it completely!
Whoosh!
The enclosed meditation room was transformed into an open one.
Several pendants embedded in the floor were also completely shredded, Corner-transforming item of this house structure were completely destroyed.
Luo Di stood with one foot on the edge of the open-plan house, scanning the entire Moon City with his camera lens, and spotted a gray spot in a certain direction.
Although it is blurry, it can give a clear location.
This is also where Benjamin's true form resides.
That direction is very bad; it corresponds to the train station in Moon City... If the other party wants to escape, Luo Di will have no chance of catching up.
So Luo Di wasn't in a hurry at all. He got back into the elevator and dealt with the matter slowly and methodically.
This is his largest offline event since arriving in Moon City.
He didn't care whether the other party would escape. He only knew that the Venerable One's true form had been marked, and this pursuit would continue indefinitely, even if the other party escaped to the capital.
Bite!
The elevator returned to the first floor.
Just as Luo Di was about to leave the concrete building that represented the Surveillance Team.
But what he heard were sounds coming from the stairwell: the sounds of fighting, exercising, and loud laughter.
For some reason,
The faint smile on Luo Di's face gradually deepened.
Instead of leaving the building, he turned and walked up the opposite staircase, heading to the gym on the second floor, just as he had done the first time he had been there.
