Chapter 530: Scratches
West of Adus, Dosa.
In Dosa at night, it was dark and silent. The evening breeze was blowing and the whole city was shrouded in the shadow of the night, with only a few lights flickering.
Just as the whole city was plunged into darkness and silence, in a house on the edge of the city, the lights were still flickering. Inside the house, a rhythmic beeping sound was constantly ringing. At a table in the corner of the room, two men in long robes with northern Ukrainian appearance were sitting behind a long table. On the long table, a machine connected to various lines was placed on it. The two men were leaning over the table, as if they were busy with something. Behind the two men was a white young man from the Mainland, also in a long robe. At this time, he was standing there, anxiously waiting for something.
"Mr. Croshi... the call back from Kanak has come."
Suddenly, a man in a long robe sitting at the long table stood up, holding a piece of paper, turned around and said to the young man behind him. The young man called Kroshi's eyes lit up after hearing the words of the man in the robe, and then he spoke immediately.
“What did they respond to?”
"Kanak called back and said that they have received intelligence about Adam's movements tomorrow morning, and they will make corresponding arrangements to ambush Adam. In addition, regarding your ghost messenger, they said that they did not see any ghost messenger go to Karnak last afternoon, so your messenger should not have reached the destination."
The man in the robe continued to talk to Kroshi. After hearing that Karnak had learned his intelligence, Kroshi couldn't help but relax and he breathed a sigh of relief. But then he heard that his messenger didn't arrive in Karnak, and his brows became solemn again.
"There is no Dakanak... This means that my messenger had a problem on the way. What happened? Was he attacked by the spirits of the netherworld? Or did Adam realize that there were spies in the city and specially deployed other ghosts in the netherworld as a countermeasure?"
After hearing the report from the robed man, Kanak thoughtfully enumerated the possible reasons why his messenger had disappeared. In his opinion, his messenger must have had an accident in the netherworld, either being intercepted by the spirits of Adam's party, or encountering some ferocious netherworld evil spirits.
In Krosi's opinion, it was unlikely that the messenger would be intercepted by Adam, because Dosa was large enough, and the projection area of Dosa in the netherworld was also large enough. The perception range of a ghost was limited. If you want to monitor such a large projection area in the netherworld, you need a large number of ghosts to perform the monitoring task at the same time. However, he had confirmed the situation of Dosa's corresponding netherworld and did not find such a situation. It was impossible for Adam to control so many ghosts alone.
Therefore, in Kroshi's opinion, his messenger might have encountered those vicious ghostly creatures that were transformed from evil spirits and wandered between the real world and the ghost world on the way.
'So, this is probably just an accident. The messenger must have been attacked by some evil spirit on the way. It shouldn't be Adam's doing. If it was Adam, he wanted to find my messenger. He would have to arrange monitoring souls in the entire Dosa's netherworld projection, or he would know my exact location in the present world of Dosa, and then find the exact point in the netherworld projection and set up an ambush near the point...
"But if Adam really knew my exact location in Dosa, I would not be able to stay here safely. He would definitely bring people to find me right away."
Kroshi thought about this, then he slowly walked to the side, picked up a cup of tea and prepared to drink it. But just as Kroshi raised the cup to his lips, something strange happened.
“——!!!”
Suddenly, Kroshi, as a "Silent" Extraordinary, heard a sharp whistle in his soul perception. Kroshi was familiar with this whistle that ordinary people could not hear at all. It was the sound of the sentinel ghost he arranged outside the base. This was the alarm sounded by his ghost!
Hearing the shrill alarm, Kroshi's heart sank suddenly, and his expression immediately became extremely ugly. After a slight twitch in the corners of his mouth, he turned his head without hesitation and spoke sternly to the two men not far away.
"We're exposed! Destroy the documents! Evacuate immediately! Run to your own places!"
After he finished speaking, Kroshi immediately ran to the table, picked up the kerosene bottle that he had prepared long ago and poured the kerosene on the documents piled on the table. Then he took out a box of matches from his body, struck one and threw it on the table. A flame suddenly jumped up and spread rapidly.
After setting the fire, Kroshi quickly ran to the wall, opened a window and jumped out, disappearing in an instant. The two robed men who remained in the room looked at each other, then immediately moved, jumped out of the window in an unpredictable manner and ran away, leaving only the fire spreading rapidly in the room.
After jumping over the window, a man in a long robe landed in a narrow and dirty alley. He didn't think much about it and ran after standing firmly on the ground. He ran quickly in one direction of the alley. When he just ran around a corner, a tall dark figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the corner, and pounced on the man in the long robe who just walked around the corner. The man in the long robe was caught off guard and knocked to the ground by the huge force.
After being knocked down, the man in the robe was pressed directly under the body. He began to struggle hard, trying to break free from the control. However, as he struggled, a tingling pain that he had experienced before suddenly spread throughout his body. The man in the robe could not help but tremble involuntarily in an extreme numbness. After shaking violently, his head with foam coming out of his mouth tilted to one side and he fainted.
After the robed man fainted, the tall figure who had been holding him down stood up slowly, looked at the unconscious robed man in front of him, searched his body for a while, and took out a seal.
…
On the other hand, after Kroshi jumped out of the window, he began to run quickly, driving his Mercedes as hard as he could towards the city. Due to the overall poverty, there were not many lights on in the whole of Dosa at night. It was dark around Kroshi as he ran. Under the cover of night, the biggest light source that could provide illumination for Kroshi was the bright moon in the sky.
With swift steps, Krosi rushed through the narrow alley and rushed towards the outside of the city at high speed, without encountering any obstacles along the way. While running, he was thinking distressedly about how his position was exposed? What went wrong?
Kroshi's escape route was almost unobstructed, but Kroshi did not relax his vigilance. He was still concentrating on paying attention to the surrounding situation and guarding against any unexpected situations. However, his vigilance was correct, and soon Kroshi was attacked.
