After dealing with the first matter, Dorothy immediately began to talk to Beverly about the second matter.
"I have something else I want to ask you for help with. Can you be my postman again and help me pass a message to the Security Bureau? It must be an urgent letter that can be delivered within the hour at most."
"Sending a letter again? Well, as long as the postage is settled, everything will be fine."
"The postage is the same as before, payable on delivery. Try to knock as much as you can. If you can't knock less, I'll pay you later. If you knock more, we'll split the fee." Dorothy added, and Beverly took another sip of the engine oil tea and nodded.
"Still in this mode? Sure, but how much you can knock depends on whether the message you give them is some important information. Tell me, what do you want me to tell them?"
Beverly spoke, and Dorothy spoke seriously.
"Tell them... around nine o'clock tonight, a group of evil society members will gather at No. 38 North Pine Forest Field, north of the King's Campus of Guanda. This society is called the Eight-pointed Nest. They use the Fear of Punishment to torture innocent people to accumulate spiritual power. They are extremely brutal and their combat power involves the black level. I hope you can make some moves.
"If they ask who provided the information, just say it was 'detective' as last time."
After Dorothy finished speaking, Beverly, who was standing beside her, had already memorized her words.
…
The setting sun shone on the streets of Greenshade Town. Dorothy, who had just walked out of Beverly's house, strolled under the setting sun, opened her pocket watch, and glanced at the current time.
"Six twenty-five... there are still more than two hours left. I hope both groups of people can arrive on time for the gathering and chat..."
Looking at the time on her hand, Dorothy murmured, it has been such a long time since she came to King's Campus. Now the location of the ruins has been investigated and everything is ready. Now it is time to go in and take a look.
"I hope... those guys can stay entangled with the hunters for a little longer.
"However, we still need to make some arrangements now."
…
Soon, time flies by, the sun sets and the moon rises.
The day faded and night came. The bright moon hung high in the dark sky. The cool evening breeze blew through the tall trees in the darkness, making a slight rustling sound.
This is a forest farm located north of King's Campus. It was originally a logging site used to provide wood, but because Crown University opened a natural science course involving the study of animals and plants many years ago, logging was prohibited here and the forest was newly nurtured. The small villages on the edge of the forest farm, which originally flourished because of the logging industry, have gradually declined in recent years. Except for a few forest rangers, many people have moved out, leaving behind empty houses.
No. 38, Songlinchang, Beibei is one of them.
At the edge of a deserted village, in the dark woods at night, the two-story building at No. 38 stands there, with an especially eye-catching light shining through the windows. This brightly lit scene is completely different from its previous silence.
In the distance from No. 38, several figures were standing in the darkness. There were about ten of them, wearing different clothes and carrying pistols. They were all men. There were two people leading them. They all wore wooden masks, but the patterns on the masks were slightly different. One of them was Thorn.
"Chad...are you sure it's there?" The man next to Cirong said, pointing forward with his hand, and Cirong immediately responded.
"Of course I'm sure, A-Ming. I just sent someone to ask the villagers. That's No. 38. No one has lived there for several years. The lights are suddenly so bright tonight. It's hard not to think there's a ghost."
Looking at the lights in the distance, a man named Amin, who seemed to have the same status as Cirong, took out a lens, looked at the lights in the distance, then put it away and said.
"That's the light from the Huijian lamp. It's certain that there are extraordinary people inside. In order to keep the secret, the lamp was specially hung up."
"Heh... these people are quite cautious. However, they spent so much effort on counter-investigation, but they never thought that their intelligence had been leaked long ago."
Looking at the houses in the distance, Ci Rong chuckled and said that the feeling of having everything under control and looking down on his opponent's stupidity made him feel happy.
"They had a lantern hanging in their house. Given the size of the house, it must have been fully illuminated. Spider went over to investigate first and was discovered by the light."
Looking at the lights in the distance, Amin said, and then the second sentence began to flow.
"If the spiders go there, they will be alerted and flee, so there is no need to use them. According to the intelligence we have, there are not many fighters inside. At most, there is one black-rank and three apprentices, or two black-ranks at most... The total number of people is no more than five. We have two black-ranks here, five apprentices, and some other people. If we take the initiative and launch a surprise attack, we can definitely take them down in one go."
Cirong said confidently. After hearing his words, Amin nodded and then spoke.
"Well... you have a point, but if we don't know the situation inside, there is indeed a slight risk. What should we do if we encounter any unexpected situation?"
"If you encounter an unexpected situation, you should solve it. If you can't solve it, don't we still have a trump card here? What are you afraid of?"
"That's right... Then let's get started now without further delay."
"Um."
After nodding to each other, the two Eight-pointed Nest cadres began to assign plans to their subordinates, asking them to sneak towards the No. 38 submarine in the distance, and then disperse and form a circle around No. 38.
As they approached No. 38, Ci Rong and A Ming heard the faint, chaotic and unclear voices of people inside. They could also see human figures swaying slightly on the translucent curtains, as if many people inside were whispering and plotting something.
After seeing this scene, everyone thought that there was someone inside Room 38.
After seeing that his men were in position, Ci Rong looked at No. 38 a few meters ahead. The people inside seemed to have not noticed the abnormality outside, and their voices were the same.
"This is the price you pay for provoking someone you shouldn't have provoked, Rosicrucian..."
Muttering, Ci Rong took the lead and fired at the window of No. 38. Taking him as a signal, all his men who were stationed around No. 38 suddenly stood up and fired at No. 38.
Suddenly, there were random gunshots and bullets flying. Under the random gunfire, the doors and windows of No. 38 were pierced by bullets, and the wooden boards and glass were shattered. Bullets were fired into the house from all corners, and the continuous gunshots echoed in the dark woods.
Finally, after everyone had emptied their magazines, Ci Rong and Amin dropped their guns, pulled out a folding dagger from their clothes, unfolded it, and then sprinted into the house in a shadow, vowing to kill the survivors as soon as possible.
However, when they broke through the doors and windows and rushed into the house of No. 38, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
At this time, No. 38 was littered with wood chips and glass fragments, and there were traces of bullet damage everywhere, the scene was a mess.
䀴In this messy scene ravaged by bullets, there was no body at all. The whole house was empty, without a piece of flesh or a drop of blood.
There was no one in Room 38. There was only a phonograph that had fallen in the corner and was hit by bullets and was no longer working. There was only a human-shaped wooden board with countless holes pierced on it and placed next to the table. The bright lights on the ceiling were swaying slightly in the wind coming in from outside, and the many projections were also swaying.
There was no one inside Room 38, but outside Room 38, many eyes were staring at them.
