Leonard Churchill again scrutinized the decrypted message from the Silver Moon Mirror several times.
Finally, he concluded one thing.
It seemed that the people from the Silver Moon Sect were not here to fight, but rather to help someone else locate something.
Someone else was truly on the hunt.
“What is going on?”
Leonard was somewhat confused himself.
Looking at it this way, the other party probably wasn’t here for a cross or a weeping angel.
Otherwise, they would have done more than just locating.
They would have launched a direct attack.
He thought for a long time but could not figure out those people’s objectives.
Luckily, the three people from the X Bureau had arrived.
After having drinks at the Thunderbolt Fortress the last time, Leonard had established some level of camaraderie with these official personnel, particularly with Reuel Bible, a generous and straightforward middle-aged man.
The two had similar temperaments.
Upon hearing Leonard’s call for urgency, Reuel arrived in no time, along with his team.
In the dilapidated building, a muscly figure emerged from the shadows.
After exchanging pleasantries, Reuel couldn’t help but tease, “Hey, how come it always feels like you’re at odds with the Silver Moon Sect? We’ve tried every means and can’t find any clues to those old believers. But you, you seem to always run into them…”
Leonard spread his hands, also feeling somewhat helpless, “I really don’t know.”
He kept silent about the Silver Moon Mirror, which allowed him to understand the Demon’s language.
Reuel, guessing Leonard had special information channels, tactfully didn’t ask.
Regardless, the feud was real.
They didn’t waste time chitchatting.
Leonard shared the intelligence he had analyzed.
Reuel’s guess was similar to his; the Silver Moon Sect might just be assisting someone else in locating something this time.
However, this opportunity was hard to come by.
If there was a chance to follow the trail and uncover it, that’d be perfect.
Reuel also shared some of his thoughts, “Those Silver Moon believers have hidden identities in Sinless City. We cannot afford to miss this hard-earned opportunity. I have several more squads on their way. If there’s a chance, we should try our best to resolve this once and for all. It’s just when the time comes, I might not act immediately. So, the pressure on you will be a bit heavier…”
“Hmm.”
That was Leonard’s original intention.
There were certainly risks involved, which he’d anticipated.
Thinking for a moment, he said, “There are my friends in that building, who might also be their targets. If possible, please look after them.”
Unsure who the other party was targeting, Leonard separated from Tracy Garcia and hid separately.
While he was sure he could protect himself, it was uncertain whether the round-faced lady could.
Upon hearing his request, Reuel agreed immediately, “No problem.”
After deciding to take action, the two men discussed details of their operations in the dilapidated building.
Soon, Reuel discovered something and exclaimed, “They’re really here! The one who can manipulate the dead, it’s that hunchback from last time!”
Upon hearing these, Leonard sighed in relief.
The combat power of that hunchback was only second tier.
Apart from being somewhat tough to kill, as long as he did not summon any peculiar dead creatures, he wouldn’t pose much of a threat.
This was Sinless City, and he doubted that the man would be reckless enough to summon something mythical like a weeping angel.
The ruined building’s area was vast.
It had numerous routes in and out, and anyone could easily hide by using the terrain to their advantage at the slightest sign of trouble.
This excellent location was the main reason Leonard originally chose to hide here.
The people from the Silver Moon Sect were well aware of this.
Even if they knew that their target was in this area, it would not be easy to pinpoint their exact location.
A large-scale search would be meaningless.
Therefore.
Sending the Old Cook who was good at manipulating the dead could not have been more appropriate.
Once Reuel noticed the arrival of someone, a layer of death air enveloped his body.
The ghostly entities sealed by the tattoos on his body didn’t merely augment his combat power. They also had unique effects on perception.
Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, saying, “A spiritual entity monster has entered. It’s the invisible kind. But there’s no major problem. Its spiritual pressure is very low. It seems to only look for people. They can’t see me, but they’ve probably found you already.”
“Hmm.”
With no change in his expression, Leonard took this in his stride. The Old Cook’s tricky tactics were no longer new or surprising to him.
But he inwardly admitted he was fortunate to have made some official friends. Otherwise, if he were discovered, he wouldn’t even have the slightest idea.
Now, what Leonard needed to do was act as bait.
Once he was located by the people from the Silver Moon Sect, those who were behind the scenes would appear.
Soon, Leonard confirmed one thing, “They’re really after me?”
The scouting ghost entities were lurking around him after discovering his presence.
According to Reuel, they had not moved elsewhere, nor had they detected Tracy Garcia, who was hiding a kilometer away.
Or had they missed Tracy, who happened to be a spirit communicator?
And, the hunchback had not shown himself the whole time, seeming to only assist in locating him.
All the while, Leonard was contemplating why the enemy would come after him.
But before waiting long, news came again.
There was a secret base of the X Bureau in Sinless City with strong reconnaissance capabilities.
In addition, Mushroomhead Noah Wright and Ada, Reuel’s two assistants, had been observing from a high point in the distance.
Using their binoculars, they could clearly see a large group of people approaching.
When Leonard heard about the large group, he sensed that something was amiss.
After all, in Sinless City, few forces could dispatch a large group of troops.
However, it didn’t take long before Mushroomhead relayed a surprising piece of information: among the newcomers, there seemed to be the frost knight elites from the Miller Family!
