Even in places like Demacia, where the number of players online at the same time exceeded 500,000, it was still much more deserted than at 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening.

The NPCs also vividly close their doors, leaving only the sallow light peeking through the windows on the side of the street.

The central square, which is the busiest during the day, has also become deserted as the battlefield administrators go home to sleep. Only a few players who had finished playing all night were still trying to form a team, intending to take advantage of the darkness to continue the battle against Noxian players in the neutral zone.

Wang Jian sat alone on the tower of the city of Demacia.

The Demacian soldiers who stood here did not react to his presence, and stuck to their posts like sculptures, guarding the peace of the city.

The gates below are also closed due to curfew, leaving players who want to continue out of the city through the sewers to get out of the city.

The night is as quiet as water.

The first quarter moon, which is mostly obscured by clouds, is a light source that can replace the sun during the day, except for the lights in the city.

"Not activated yet?"

Wang Jian has been waiting here since 11 p.m., hoping to find any clues.

Outcome......

Not a single mouse hair was found, but for an hour I admired the Germanic-style Western-style scenery of the city of Demacia and Ionia.

"Is there a discrepancy between time and reality in the game?"

If Wednesday in the quest refers to Wednesday in the game, he's really going to have a pain.

But when I think about it, it's not right.

In terms of time, the game is consistent with reality, just to facilitate the usual schedule of some players. Now it's dark in the early hours of the morning in the game, and it's dark in the early hours of the morning. The time is exactly the same in every minute and second.

But......

So far, Demacia has not seen any unusual movement, which makes him a little impatient.

If it doesn't happen today, he'll have to wait for next week.

He didn't have so many Wednesdays to spend on such a mysterious mission.

"Wait another 5 minutes."

After looking at the time in the game, I decided to wait another five minutes before leaving.

Now that it's midnight, he can also do today's mercenary mission. I just finished sleeping. Tomorrow continue to single-farm the Darkkeep dungeon.

Just as he was thinking this, there was a sudden commotion on the castle tower. A Demacian spearman hurried up to the tower and reported to the city guard guarding the tower: "Report to the sir! An Assassin was found in the city a minute ago. Master Hagrid is confirmed to have been assassinated. Steward Zhao Xin asks you to take precautions and prevent a rat from escaping from here! ”

"I know that I will issue this order." The city defense officer's expression was immediately solemn, and he knew that this was a very serious matter. Immediately orders were given to strengthen the guards, and the gates of the city were ordered to be closed so that no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Wang Jian's eyes lit up, and he knew that his mission was coming. I also know that there is no need for Lu Dao to stay here any longer.

Looking from the city tower, you can see that a large number of patrols began to run through the streets of Demacia, which had been extremely calm a moment ago, carrying torches. The idea attracted a lot of players who were still online, and I had a gut feeling that there must be a mission going on.

"Lord Hagri's mansion."

The hint of the coordinates on the map made him immediately know where he was going to go.

To be on the safe side, he activated his ghost form and quickly ran towards Lord Hagri's mansion.

Half a street away from this palatial mansion, you can see that the gate is heavily guarded, and a large number of Demacian troops appear here, and even near the back gate is heavily guarded. How do you look at this Haigli is still a heavyweight official.

Because of the strong flavor of the mission, many nearby Demacia players want to enter to understand a situation. Violently driven away by Demacian soldiers guarding the door, the two sides almost clashed.

"You can't get through the main entrance." Wang Jian judged at a glance that the road to the main gate was impassable.

Because there are two archers with open eyes on their heads, representing that they can be invisible. It was also to prevent the Assassin who might still be hiding in the mansion from escaping.

The backdoor doesn't look as tightly guarded as the front, but through his mind's eye ignoring the stealth effect, he found that there are actually several stealth NPCs who are also guarding against this anti-stealth magic mark. The guards were actually far tighter than the front door.

It was impossible to enter the front door and the back door, and the activation of his next mission obviously required access to the interior of the mansion. Only the adventure point climbs through the wall on the side of the mansion, praying that there will be no more anti-invisible NPCs watching inside, otherwise he will be sent directly to the door to find death.

But it may have been his prayers that worked.

He had just climbed over the wall and fell from the interior of the mansion when one of the guards inside turned his back to him, moving the surveillance to the other side. It just so happened that I didn't see him.

Wang Jian didn't dare to attack him. Here is the obvious chain of guards. He slaughtered the soldier with ease, but the trouble his corpse caused him was endless, and would immediately increase the level of vigilance here, that is, increase the difficulty of his mission.

Creeping to the infinite invisibility effect of the ghost form to approach the big house in the depths of the mansion.

As soon as he came in, he heard the wailing of the heavens and the earth, and the sound should be that of this lady or the little wife of Lord Hagri, crying and crying.

But here, the guards aren't as tight as they are outside.

Maybe it's because they are so heavily guarded on the outside, and they don't need to be so heavily guarded inside.

Or maybe it was because of the yellow-skinned man in the middle of them with a ponytail, a knife-like cheek, and a long spear in his hand.

The name of [Zhao Xin, the head of Debang] displayed on this man's head shows his identity that no one can reach here. It is one of the famous Debang Sanying!

"Did you find the murderer?" Zhao Xin looks to be over thirty years old, and his deep voice is full of masculine charm. It is very similar to the demeanor of Zhao Yun, who entered and exited three times in the army back then.

"Report to your lordship, the murderer has not been found yet. And ...... "Next to him, a middle-aged short man in his fifties who didn't know whether he should be called a coroner or a puppet, wearing a white apron, respectfully reported to Zhao Xin what he had done."

"Say!" Zhao Xin shouted in a stern tone and told him to hurry up and say it, don't give him a mouthful.

The current situation around the mansion has proved the gravity of this adult's sudden death in the city of Demacia.

"Yes, sir." The short man was so startled by Zhao Xin's angry shout that his body trembled slightly, afraid of his majesty. Feeling more humble and respectful, let yourself say clearly in every word: "According to our unanimous examination, it has been found that Master Hegrid was not killed, but was ...... Scared to death. ”

He didn't dare to believe it when he said this, but it was true, so he didn't dare to tell him openly for fear that this powerful adult would think that he was making up a reason.

"Scared to death?!" Zhao Xin's voice turned three times in a row, from low to high, I am afraid that the heart of this short man has been raised from his chest to his throat.

"Yes...... Yes, sir. The short man's voice trembled, and his forehead was full of power. Feeling stressed, he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and replied that he was right. It's also that he still has some ability, otherwise he would have been too scared by his courage to stand. Both of his legs were shaking violently right now.

"This is already the third."

Zhao Xin suddenly felt a great responsibility. I didn't think the short man was telling a joke at all, but I believed what he said. It is even more powerless to find that this is already the third victim. is a high-ranking figure in Demacia.

"You say, do you think this kind of thing is natural?"

Zhao Xin, as the governor of Demacia, is the person who manages most of the things in Demacia. Now that something so big has happened, he has absolute responsibility.

"Report, sir. No...... No...... Unnatural. The short man was so frightened by Zhao Xin's courage that he stammered. However, he also answered his words and continued: "It is said that the Yue clan on Chinese New Year's Eve had a similar assassination method. But since their clan came to the news from the mainland, there has been no such death in recent decades. ”

"You're saying it's very likely that someone from the Night Moon Clan did this?" Zhao Xinlei raised his eyebrows, and a vast force like a big Lang storm emanated, sweeping everyone present. The soldiers here stood straighter, and the short man bent his waist harder.

"Yes, yes......" replied to him in a trembling voice.

Wang Jian kept eavesdropping on the side, not expecting that this matter would have something to do with the Night Moon Clan.

But he knew very well that this was definitely not the work of the people of the Night Moon Clan, because they were all in the Shadow Isle now, and they had not left the Shadow Isle for many years, and they lacked a medium for them to take on the task of the killer.

The people who committed three murders in a row in Demacia were definitely not them.
