Does the Butterfly Effect Really Exist? (6)

Peterburg City, the Lord Mayor's Mansion, the Conference Hall

After the military parade, Sordil led Sage Dragon and the others back here.

"Sister Yelibell, should you say it, or should I?"

"Brother Sordil, leave these small matters to me. You should focus on figuring out how to deal with those guys!"

"Good!"

After assigning tasks, Sordil returned to his seat, closed his eyes to rest, and began to consider the next course of action. Yelibell, on the other hand, stood up and began to explain the results of the parade to everyone.

"After multiple reviews and verifications by my brother Sordil and me, we finally confirmed that there were three people with ulterior motives in each of the Third Brigade and Fourth Brigade. However, it is unknown whether these six people belong to the same faction or to whom they are loyal."

"In other words, although we've identified the spies, we can't determine whether they're subordinates of Old Friend?" (Irene)

Yes! (Yelibell)

"If that's the case, then our operation plan can't continue, right? (Sacred Dragon)"

Upon hearing the Sacred Dragon's words, everyone turned their gaze to Sordil.

"No! Although we don't yet know who our Old Friend's people are, the plan must continue, because soon they will automatically tell us who they are working for, and then we will naturally know who our Old Friend's people are. (Sordil)"

"Tell us automatically? (Diphiya)"

After muttering something softly, Diphiya looked at Mevajena beside her in confusion, only to find that the other was also looking at her in confusion. In fact, they weren't the only ones in this state—no! To be precise, apart from Sordil and Yelibell, the two sensible people, everyone else in the hall was like this.

However, as time goes by, this situation is gradually changing, because a few clever people have figured out the key points and successfully joined the ranks of the enlightened.

Seeing everyone around him jumping ship to the opposing camp one after another, while he still had no clue what to do, Divine Constable Di began to equip himself with cheat codes to avoid being kicked out of the ranks of the smart people.

"Brother, what exactly did you mean by that?"

Listening to the buzzing of mosquitoes in his ears, Sordil glanced around but found nothing, so he continued to remain silent.

After committing her misdeeds, Diphiya perfected her acting skills, then adopted a nonchalant demeanor, quietly awaiting Sordil's answer. However, after waiting for a long time without any response, Divine Constable Di became increasingly infuriated.

"You jerk, how dare you not answer me? You're driving me crazy!"

Just as Diphiya finished mentally criticizing Sordil, a familiar voice appeared in her mind.

"Diphiya, was that your voice just now? I thought I was hallucinating!"

Hearing the "no shoes" reply, Diphiya felt an urge to bang her head against a wall (sigh! Being too good at acting is a problem, and what's worse, her teammates' acceptance level is a bug). However, now is not the time to worry about these things; figuring out the answer is more important. So, after storing these thoughts in her mind, Diphiya began to seek the answer from the idiot.

"Brother, what did you mean by that just now?"

"That last sentence? Oh! I mean, I didn't realize it was you talking to me, I thought I was hallucinating!"

Faced with Sordil's "shoeless offensive," Diphiya's mentality instantly exploded. So she roared in her heart with all her might, "Not this sentence, but the one before it, the one about the Old Friend and the traitor!"

"Oh, so that's what you meant! You should have said so earlier! It's actually quite simple. Once our Old Friend's people get this information, they'll definitely contact our Old Friend. Then we can conduct a surprise inspection and find out who our Old Friend's people are!"

That's it?

"That's how it is, what else can we do?" (Yelibell)

"Hehe! Diphiya, now you understand, right? (Irene)"

As she listened to the voices that appeared in her mind, Diphiya suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Bro... you wouldn't be... communicating with me in a group Mind Talk, would you?"

"Yes! That way, everyone will know the answer, saving me the trouble of explaining it to each and every one of them."

The nightmare had come true! At that moment, Diphiya felt her lifelong reputation crumble instantly, replaced by endless shame. Just as she was preparing to channel her anger and humiliation into a brutal beating of the culprit, a new message arrived in the group chat.

"Now that everyone knows what I mean, I'll explain the follow-up plan. After the meeting, Sister Yelibell and I will go to the Third Brigade and the Fourth Brigade respectively to monitor those guys' movements. At that time, Uncle Sacred Dragon and Uncle Sage Dragon, you will do this and that, Diphiya, you will do this and that."

A moment later, the meeting adjourned, and everyone went to carry out their tasks according to plan.

As night deepened, most of the tents in the camp had turned off their lights, and apart from the guards on duty and the patrol team, everyone else had drifted into a not-so-sweet sleep. Just then, two dark figures emerged from a tent and headed towards the northwest corner of the camp.

"Heh! So these two guys are in cahoots! Well, that's fine too, we can catch them all in one fell swoop, saving me a lot of effort."

Sordil muttered something under his breath, then gestured to the side before chasing after the two fleeing men. At the same time, another dark figure followed behind him.

When Sordil found the two men using the power of the poisonous dragon, they had just finished their conversation. One of them was rapidly writing something on a piece of cloth, while the other stood quietly to the side, holding a strange, bluish-black bird. After a short while, the writer stopped writing, rolled the cloth into a long, thin tube, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, and then they tied the tube to the strange bird. After doing this, they released the bird into the sky and let it fly away.

"Uncle Sage Dragon, I'm going to chase after that bird. You're in charge of these two!"

"Okay!"

After receiving the reply, Sordil turned off Mind Talk and chased after the strange bird.

Because of the unique aura emanating from the dragons, Sordil dared not follow too closely, but instead lingered far behind the strange bird.

After flying for about an hour, the strange bird suddenly lowered its altitude and slowed its speed. Sordil immediately realized that the bird's destination was not far ahead. He secretly calculated the distance he had flown and carefully observed the surrounding environment. In an instant, Sordil determined where he was about to arrive.

"Neva City? This strange bird's destination is Neva City?" (Neva City a city within the Principality of Saint Dreo, and also the closest city to Peterburg City, with a distance of only about 100 kilometers between them.)

In his previous life, when he was a homebody, Sordil read a lot of suspense and mystery novels and spy movies, so he immediately guessed that this place should be an intelligence relay station for his Old Friend, rather than the other party's hiding place.

To be on the safe side, Sordil used compression magic to transform himself into an adorable miniature doll. Then, he slowly approached the bluish-black monster, trying to close the distance between them to avoid losing track of his target later.

Not long after, the strange bird flew towards the city and landed in a courtyard in the east of the city. Just as Sordil stared wide-eyed, waiting for the contact to appear, the ground beneath the bird suddenly cracked open. After the bird landed, the ground returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
