Chapter 136 Infiltration
Chapter 136 Infiltration
The sound of heavy armor and horse hooves finally faded away, leaving only the bustling noise outside the alley.
Xu Heng hid in the darkness, knowing that no one would dare to come in to join in the fun because they had nothing to do. He wanted to see who the patrol team was guarding just now, so he set up a alert formation.
In addition to the objective fact, whenever someone approached, his emotional perception told him that the person only had "reverence" and a little "cowardice" towards the alley. In the end, he did not come in, but might have to walk close to this side.
Subjectively, the patrol team couldn't do anything to more people, so who would dare to take this bad luck? The warning was put out, which was no ordinary matter, but it was solved very quickly, and after it was solved, no one was arrested. There must be a tiger in this alley that ordinary people can't afford to mess with.
The people of Jincheng are not stupid. None of them have that much free time. Making money is the most important thing. As for other things, they can just ignore them.
After a brief thought, Xu Heng still stayed in the alley. He sent Mia away not for some high-sounding "image influence".
It was because the little Shi on his body automatically detected the second person who appeared silently in the alley.
"Lao Kui, it's you, right? Don't hide, come out quickly." Xu Heng shouted towards the end of the alley, but after waiting for a while, there was still no response, so he said impatiently: "Don't force me to kneel down in front of you."
"Sir Xu Heng, please don't do that." Quessus, who was hiding in the darkness using special fighting skills, was touched in his soft spot by Xu Heng's words. He sighed secretly and had to show up.
Because he was masked and dressed in his usual black clothes, after Quessus appeared, in order to let Xu Heng see clearly where he was, he carefully lit a fire, allowing Xu Heng to see a "ghost fire" floating in the air.
"You know what's going on?" Xu Heng's eyes were hurt by the firelight, so he covered his face slightly. "That's great, I have something to ask you."
"Okay... But Lord Xu Heng, before that, please forgive me for expressing my curiosity. How did you discover me?" asked Quessus.
"Well... I have my own way, but if I didn't have that way, I would also be suspicious. You can think that I just took a chance. It's just that among the secret guards, I only know you. If I call you, the other secret guards will also know that I know you, and we can communicate better.
This suspicion is that I just passed through most areas of Jincheng and found that there are some problems with the construction of Jincheng. Why are there so many dark alleys for no reason?
Aren't you afraid of increasing the risk of crime? But I remember that before I went to the black market for the first time, when you attacked from the alley, I had a rough guess, right? You know what I guessed. "Xu Heng began his words with a hidden purpose. In fact, he was not as sharp as he said. It's just that Quesus is indeed here, and he has just returned. Does he have such a great ability to find him immediately?
If there is, one possibility can be guessed, but Xu Heng is more inclined to another one.
"Mr. Xu Heng is still so perceptive. That's right. Most of the construction in Jincheng was invested by our Yanyun Chamber of Commerce. Those alleys were built according to the needs of the Chamber of Commerce.
It is a transit station and tracking point for our secret guards during the day, as well as a place to handle "important matters", but in fact, we are also good citizens who assist the patrol army and secretly control the public security in Jincheng. "Quissus did not hide his admiration for Xu Heng, and revealed all the potential designs of Jincheng in the dark alley.
"Well, but I don't believe it. You are here because I passed through many alleys and was seen by other secret guards. If that were the case, I would have been stopped by you long ago and would not have been blocked by the patrol army. Then you have to decide whether to take action or not.
For me, I want to destroy your mission of secretly following this patrol army, or Mia? "Xu Heng smiled, his eyes sharpened, although he couldn't see Quess's expression - let alone his expression, he couldn't see his whole appearance, but it was obvious that the "wisp" in front of him shook slightly.
He now realized the function of those alleys belatedly, but he still wore a hood when he walked through the streets, and the slime did not react.
Let Quess get a good shock. This masked man almost hid himself for the sake of the kids. Now I have to be more forceful and let this guy know the difficulty and cost of hiding things from me.
Xu Heng knew that Quessus would not have any objection to this, because he was friends with Aaron, and this loyal guy still respected him in his heart and was wary of him.
But after all, they are not his real subordinates and have their own opinions on things, which makes Xu Heng feel a headache - they are worthy of being members of the Soma family. They don’t seem to have any scheming at first glance, but they are actually the most thoughtful and have their own little calculations.
The Lolista family deserves to be able to manipulate public opinion and be accepted by the human race. I have to spend a lot of effort to deal with them one by one.
"Sir Xu Heng, what do you want to know? There is no need to put pressure on me. I have long appreciated your sharpness." Quessus turned from admiration to helpless submission and asked Xu Heng directly about his intentions.
In fact, he had never looked down on Xu Heng. After all, he was an important master in the entire continent - Aaron, and he respected this young cat man.
There must be more outstanding qualities that I have not seen yet, and they are just gradually emerging.
"First of all, Mia and I have some relationship. I want to know why you are following her. Secondly, you know very well what I want to ask most. Why did I come back this time and use this roundabout surprise attack method?" Xu Heng still did not finish his words and continued to put pressure on Quessus to think. Now is a critical moment and Xu Heng did not want to show any extra mercy.
Come on, let's start, let's see if I can pry your mouth open, after all, you have been following those guys for the past month. You came to me on your own, so it's a waste of my time to catch you.
Swallowing unconsciously, Quessus felt beads of sweat on his back, because he didn't know what Xu Heng knew specifically or what he was going to do, but it was definitely related to the "tavern".
Protecting the tavern was his job assigned by the owner, and Xu Heng took advantage of this and secretly adopted an attitude of looking down on him from above.
Moreover, Quessus knew that there had been frictions between Lord Xu Heng and his brothers. His sudden return was just like his action a month ago when he secretly went to "catch" those rebellious cat people.
Intuition told Quessus that Xu Heng really didn't know what had happened, but he seemed to have sensed something.
This implicit inquiry now was just to test his attitude, whether he was on his side or like a month ago, leaning towards his brother.
If it was a small matter, he could still be vague about it, but that was impossible. Over the past month, the magical Quessus had found it incredible.
"Sir Xu Heng, the person I was following was indeed Miss Mia, and she had a certain relationship with the tavern. You guessed it right." Quess sighed deeply in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hmm," Xu Heng didn't need to guess. He just wanted to confuse Quessus and then "explode" himself to get the information that the mission was actually related to the tavern. "Then Quessus, do you want to report voluntarily what happened in the tavern this month? I won't ask about your tracking of Mia, but I have to interrupt your mission."
It’s not that there is no need to ask, but there is no need to ask. Soon, based on the report, Xu Heng feels that he will know the reason and there is no need to waste time.
"Okay, Mr. Xu Heng,...but I feel that my personal explanation will always be biased and will cause you to have some misunderstandings. So, how about I take you to the tavern in person to see the current situation, and then report to you based on this?" Quessling said respectfully.
"Oh? It seems that the changes in the tavern are really huge. I'm afraid that your report will be misunderstood, so you have to let me go and see it in person. Well, go ahead. But, Lao Kui, how are you going to take me infiltrate?" Xu Heng still had his hands on his chest. Even though he was much shorter than the 1.9-meter-tall Quess, he had to have the upper hand in both words and momentum.
In the "confrontation" state, whoever comes will be unlucky. Now Xu Heng is very annoyed. Whenever a dog passes by, he wants to say something to put pressure on it - oh, didn't a stubborn "Husky" just come?
And now the soul standing in front of him is still in the form of a "big wolfdog".
"The changes are indeed huge, but they are by no means negative, Lord Xu Heng. Believe me, you will be surprised at the abilities of your brothers and Mr. March's business talent." Quessus seemed very confident in what he said.
But in Xu Heng's eyes, he felt that Quessus must have been affected, but he didn't say to what extent.
"I know, Lao Kui, you are really biased towards those little devils and speak well of them. They all have some extraordinary talents, but I have to see for myself to see what they are like, because some things are not right just because they are good in a broad sense. Take me in quickly." Xu Heng responded, then thought for a moment, came back and added:
"By the way, your elder Soma and I have developed a life-and-death friendship within a month, so can I not call you 'Lao Kui' anymore? Should I call you 'Xiao Kui'? But since you haven't seen it, you may not believe it. Believe it or not, but when I report you, I may not just report you to Aaron~"
"This... Haha, you can call me whatever you want, Lord Xu Heng, please come closer to me, I will use shadow magic and fighting spirit to take you on a stealth journey." Quessus smiled bitterly. He dared not disbelieve it, because after Xu Heng left, the elder also suddenly disappeared from the city.
He eavesdropped on the conversation between Mia and Xu Heng and knew that Xu Heng might have really met Clara outside, and that Clara, the daughter of a human noble, had a close relationship with the great senior.
All of a sudden, the pressure on Quessos was maxed out.
Aaron was his benefactor and he respected him very much. He became a secret guard voluntarily, but it was different for his family. The strict hierarchy and generational divisions had been imprinted in his consciousness since he was born.
For Aaron, he could say that he would go against the family a little, but he didn't dare to do that when it came to Xu Heng's affairs.
From the moment Xu Heng used Soma to pressure him, Quessus knew that Xu Heng this time was much more serious than he was a month ago, and the hidden anger was even more violent, like a volcano that could erupt at any time.
He was noisy before, but now he was suppressed, which made him feel inexplicably dangerous and pressured, even though he was just a fourth-level warrior.
But this is also Xu Heng's outstanding feature, letting you know, rank? You only have rank. Throw away your rank and you will be suffocated by this "sharp" and "evil person" who you can't resist at all.
"Oh? You are also practicing both magic and fighting? You vampires are really enjoying life." Xu Heng was surprised and approached Quessus.
Soma's fighting ability is obvious to all. Although he was suppressed by Harun, he was once recognized as the best fighter.
According to the evaluation I got from Julie when I asked her, an eighth-level person wearing a tenth-level demigod outfit can fight with a demigod for several rounds. That is an incredible thing.
This is the power of the dual cultivation of magic and combat. It is easy for an eighth-level to beat a ninth-level one. Wearing armor, judging from his performance against Harun, he has no problem fighting against an ordinary demigod.
However, the demigods Soma met were not ordinary demigods. Whether it was Krolitz before or Harun later, they were both the kings among the demigods.
"No, Lord Xu Heng, the people of my Lolista family are different from ordinary vampires. Please allow me to correct you rudely." Quessus said proudly, gesturing in the darkness with his free hand. Faint white lines appeared out of thin air and began to connect into a small magic circle.
"It's okay. This is true. Well, I can only admire your Lolista family. Both Soma and you are terribly strong." Xu Heng watched the magic circle appear and the shadows around him began to blur and change, as if they had entities and moved closer to him and Quess. He couldn't help but admire him.
"Julie, what is shadow magic?" Xu Heng asked Julie during this break.
"The full name is Light and Shadow Magic, which uses magic to change the relationship between light and shadow. It is actually a spell of illusion. Tsk tsk, this is an innovation that Rainbow Island has made in a hundred years, and the vampires have learned it. Although they are under Aaron's command,
No matter who made the decision to join Ron in the Lolista family, they are definitely qualified to become the current head of the family. They used the magic resources of the human race and combined them with their vampire physique to create one superman after another who practiced both magic and fighting, haha." Julie answered, adding her own evaluation.
The emergence of Soma, the so-called genius who is most likely to become the first demigod in history who can practice both magic and combat, is not accidental.
Hopefully, I can do it too.
Xu Heng didn't reply, but just muttered to himself.
In the dark alley, the figures of Xu Heng and Quess disappeared.
