Infiltration

Under Gilan's orders, the familiars Vivi and Buweige quietly departed.

Beneath the wall outside the red-brick factory buildings, only Gilan's group of four remained.

"Haldan, Celine, what alchemical items are the two of you carrying?"

"This is Sound-Absorbing Cloth. It can eliminate sound."

Meanwhile, Celine pulled several sets of translucent "raincoats" from the handbag and explained:

"Putting on this kind of cloak allows you to mimic the surroundings and hide your body visually. It is extremely difficult to spot
