"Notify everyone and hold an emergency meeting!" Mou Xuan's tone was as cold as ten thousand years of ice, which made people shudder.
The alliance member did not dare to delay and immediately turned around and ran to convey the order.
In the dim conference room, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.
Mou Xuan sat in the first seat, his eyes sharp as he scanned the people present - Investigator Cheng, a burly, impulsive man; Analyst Ju, a slightly frail young man wearing thick glasses; and several core members of the alliance.
"'Shadows are lurking, doomsday is approaching'..." Mou Xuan put the strange note on the table, "This is obviously a warning, or a provocation! A mysterious organization hiding in the dark is ready to make a move."
Investigator Cheng slammed the table and said in a gruff voice, "Boss, what are you afraid of? Let me take my men to wipe out their lair!"
Analyst Ju pushed up his glasses and calmly analyzed: "Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle. We know nothing about this organization, and acting rashly will only alert the enemy."
Mou Xuan looked at Analyst Ju with appreciation, and then decisively ordered: "Investigator Cheng, you will go to the intelligence collection point immediately and collect intelligence about this organization at all costs!"
When Investigator Cheng heard this, he immediately perked up and patted his chest and assured, "Boss, don't worry! I guarantee to complete the task!" After that, he rushed out in a hurry.
Mou Xuan watched Investigator Cheng leave
The intelligence gathering point is located in a shabby bar on the edge of the city.
This place is a mixed crowd, and it is a gathering place for all kinds of intelligence dealers.
Investigator Cheng found a guy named Sheng who was an intelligence dealer. This guy had a greasy face and looked like a bad guy.
"I want all the information about 'Shadow Stealth'!" Investigator Cheng said straight to the point in a firm tone.
Information dealer Sheng squinted at investigator Cheng and held up five fingers: "Five hundred alliance coins!"
"Five hundred? Why don't you just go and rob?" Investigator Cheng almost couldn't hold back and punched him.
"Do you want it or not? I have exclusive information!" Sheng, the informant, looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Investigator Cheng cursed inwardly, but finally paid the money reluctantly.
There is no way, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!
After receiving the money, the informant said slowly, "I heard that Shadow Stealth has been active around the abandoned factory in the west of the city recently..."
After getting the clue, Mou Xuan immediately led the team members to the abandoned factory in the west of the city.
As night falls, the abandoned factory is shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, which makes people feel creepy.
"Be careful, there may be a trap here." Mou Xuan warned in a low voice.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden "crack" sound under his feet, the ground collapsed, and several people fell down instantly.
"Oh shit!" Investigator Cheng yelled.
At the critical moment, Mou Xuan activated his time ability, and time went back briefly, returning to the moment before the trap was triggered.
"Everyone step back!" Mou Xuan shouted in a low voice, and everyone quickly stepped back.
Seeing the trap closed again, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
If Mou Xuan hadn't reacted quickly, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Boss, your ability is simply amazing!" Investigator Cheng said with admiration.
Mou Xuan ignored the crowd's admiration and looked around vigilantly.
He knew that this was just the beginning and the real danger was yet to come.
"Keep going!" Mou Xuan said in a deep voice, and took the lead to walk into the depths of the abandoned factory...
As the night deepened, a group of people crept silently into the shadows of the abandoned factory. The air was filled with a strange atmosphere that was suffocating.
"Boss, look..." Investigator Cheng pointed ahead and spoke in a low voice.
In the dim light, a blurry figure appeared in their field of vision... In the dim light, the figure swayed like a dead grass swaying in the wind.
Investigator Cheng rubbed his hands and asked in a low voice: "Boss, shall we go ahead?" Mou Xuan shook his head slightly, motioning for everyone to move closer.
When they got closer, they could see clearly that it was a man huddled in the corner and shivering. He was the wire broker they were looking for.
"The informant?" Investigator Cheng asked in a gruff voice, scaring the informant so much that he trembled all over and almost jumped up on the spot.
"Don't... don't kill me!" The wireman held his head, his voice trembling like a sieve.
Mou Xuan took a step forward and said as calmly as possible: "We are not here to kill you. We want to know about 'Shadow Stealth'."
The wireman still didn't dare to look up, mumbling incoherently: "I don't know... I don't know anything..."
Mou Xuan saw through his fear at a glance, so he promised: "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with us, we will protect your safety."
Hearing the word "protection", the wireman raised his head slightly, and he stammered, "I... I have only seen them a few times... They were all wearing black cloaks, and their faces could not be seen clearly... But... But I heard one of them... His voice was very shrill... Like... Like..." He tried hard to imitate the voice, "Like... a rooster with its neck pinched..."
Investigator Cheng almost laughed out loud, this description was too bizarre, the image of a rooster being pinched by the neck was simply too vivid!
Mou Xuan suppressed his laughter and continued to ask, "Anything else?"
The wire bagger seemed to recall something, his face turned even paler, and he said tremblingly: "They...they...have a strange smell...like...like rotten meat..."
