Chapter 21: Infiltration

The case committed.

Tang Luo: It's not like they haven't investigated.

Unfortunately, nothing was found except for the discovery of a person suspected of having been possessed by a ripper.

Donlo was also not interested in handing the man over to Gran Field as Jack the Ripper.

Instead of collecting the Glen Field bounty, they have to complete the quest "Find Jack the Ripper".

"Master, are we going to do it tonight?"

Chu Chongtian asked, his glasses were firmly tied to the back of his head with a rope, making it difficult to fall off.

The original immature color has also disappeared, and it looks a lot more stable.

After all, these three days have been fighting.

His hands were stained with blood, and his bloody ferocity was stimulated, and he grew quite fast.

As for Li Liang, he also tried to participate in the clean-up operation.

He Nai is not that material, and he is scared.

I decided to be a salted fish that could only hug my thighs, and anyway, at least survive this mission.

I'll talk about the tasks later.

Salted fish Li Liang adhered to his principles and followed Tang Luo and the three of them all the time, trying to reduce his sense of existence and not causing them any trouble.

The trio didn't mind continuing to shelter him.

The main thing is that Master Xuanzang spoke, and Zhou Zhenguo and Chu Chongtian will definitely not object.

"Why don't we postpone it for a night?"

Zhou Zhenguo said.

On the list of invitations to the banquet was Inspector Glen Field, who had nothing to do with the organization.

But as the highest sheriff in the town, the theme of tonight's banquet is to solve the problem of law and order.

It is impossible to do without him.

Thus, in addition to the personal bodyguard regiment of the Earl of Thorndike, the estate also had part of the patrol of the Grand Field.

Protection is more comprehensive than ever.

Before coming, Tang Luo and the others didn't know that there would be a banquet in the evening.

After all, it's just a few outsiders.

Even the residents of the small town only know that the big names in the small town have finally been unable to sit still these days, and they plan to work together to solve the problem of law and order.

But I don't know exactly what time to get together.

"It's all here, let's go in and have a look."

Tang Luo uttered a four-character curse, and under this four-character curse, people can almost eat the worst dishes and experience the worst activities.

Of course, there is also the possibility of having a good time.

The estate is on the outskirts of the city, about an hour's horse-drawn carriage ride from the entire main part of the town.

Since they are all here, Tang Luo is reluctant to leave.

"You can stay outside and pick me up." Tang Luo continued.

Zhou Zhenguo and Chu Chongtian glanced at each other and nodded.

Tang Luoyi is bold, he can "come and come", and then go directly to Mang.

They can't.

The little benefits obtained in the past three days were not enough to arouse the psychology of the two of them seeking wealth and nobility in danger.

Chu Chongtian is a lot more stable, not to mention Zhou Zhenguo, who is already stable and likes to use the confinement chain to take the lead.

Reaching out and pressing the black hat on top of his head, Tang Luo walked towards the manor.

As he walked, he took down the merit jade lotus hanging around his neck.

Throw it into the sky.

The Merit Jade Lotus hovered above Tang Luo's head, emitting a soft glow.

The light did not spread, falling like a tassel, enveloping Tang Luo's body.

"Huh?"

Zhou Zhenguo and Chu Chongtian, who were still looking at Tang Luo just now, had their eyes glazed, and they lost Tang Luo's figure in front of them.

"Gone?"

Chu Chongtian looked at Zhou Zhenguo, making sure that he was not dazzled.

"It's gone." Zhou Zhenguo nodded.

"How? Skills? Chu Chongtian asked.

"It's possible, stealth skills are also available." Zhou Zhenguo is now more and more sure that Master Xuanzang must be a "veteran boss".

"I'm so envious, I really want to have skills."

Chu Chongtian said.

"If we can complete the task this time, there will be." Zhou Zhenguo's desire to complete the task is stronger than anyone else, after all, it is related to his life.

The reason why Tang Luo disappeared had nothing to do with the skills obtained by the gods and demons walking.

It's just the ability of the merit jade lotus.

In fact, to be precise, Tang Luo has never directly used the power of merit to heal injuries and save people.

Rather, it is using the merit jade lotus, a mystical magic weapon that uses the "power of merit" as the "source of power".

This time, Tang Luo did not use the "Xuanzang style of infiltration".

chose to consume a part of the power of merit, urged the merit jade lotus, and performed a method of concealment.

It is in the "invisible" state.

If you are a local tyrant and consume a lot of merit, not only is it invisible, but it can also be "inaudible" and "untouchable".

It is a first-class method of saving one's life and escaping.

Of course, it is now not used by Tang Luo to escape, but as a sneaker.

With the merit jade lotus on his head, Tang Luo swaggered into the manor from the main entrance.

The banquet at the manor began.

Most of the guests have already arrived, and a few are coming one after another.

Walking into the banquet hall, you can see bright and gorgeous decorative lights, which illuminate the entire hall as if it were daytime.

The luminaires used seem to step straight into the level of a few decades later.

On a long table, delicious food is placed.

Next to him stands a messenger holding a wine bottle, ready to serve guests.

On the wall directly opposite the gate, there is a portrait of a man who is supposed to be a great man from the ancestors of the Earl of Thorndike.

Under the portrait, it is a platform specially erected, about two steps high.

On either side is a staircase leading to the second floor.

A richly dressed man was standing on the stage, giving a speech.

Full of emotion, loud voice, very infectious.

Needless to say, the theme of the speech was to restore the long-term peace and stability of the town and solve the serial murder case of the damned Jack the Ripper.

But if you listen carefully, you will find that there is actually no substantive content.

It is lyrical throughout, and calls on everyone to donate money to solve the problem together.

As for how to use the money to solve the serial murder case and restore long-term peace and stability.

It's not the concern of this group of big people.

No one really cares too much about how the money is spent in the end.

What they want is more fame.

Tomorrow's newspaper headlines.

Praise and respect from the mud legs.

We're in charge of giving the money, and the others are in charge of doing things.

Hasn't it always been like this?

After finishing his impassioned speech, the man stepped down and greeted the guests around him.

A group of people all had smiles like a spring breeze on their faces.

It also made Donlo sure that this person was Leo Thorndike.

Before that, Donlo really didn't know what Thorndike looked like.

Thorndike walked through the crowd as if he were a spectator, stopping to talk to people from time to time, not knowing if there were any members of the group.

It was about half an hour before he walked alone towards the stairs.

And before that, a few people had gone up the stairs one after another.

The staircases on the left and right sides are guarded by elite bodyguards.

Tang Luo leisurely followed Thorndike and went with him to the second and third floors.

Compared to the bustle of the first floor, the second floor is still occasionally walked around, and the third floor is empty.

In the long aisle, only the slightly dim lights were on.

Sounds, and only footsteps.

Thorndike stopped suddenly, a strange expression on his face.

How could he hear footsteps?

- not the sound of your own footsteps.

Turn around and make sure there's no one behind you.

The Earl of Thorndike frowned, loosened his somewhat tight collar, and continued on his way, stopping at a door that opened and closed.

Pressing the handle, Thorndike opened the door and walked inside.

Inside is a study.

Only the lamp on the table was on.

Thorndike looked around, then double-peered into the hallway outside the study, and after making sure that the footsteps he had just heard were delusional, he closed the door and locked it.

They are extremely careful in their own homes.

He walked over to the bookcase and removed a few books to touch the mechanism.

The bookcase slowly moved away, and inside it turned out to be a small elevator.

Thorndike walked into the elevator, pressed the switch, and the elevator slowly descended, and then the bookcase slowly moved and began to return to its original position.

The light faded.

"Bump!"

Suddenly, Thorndike heard a noise.

At the same time, the elevator shook, as if something heavy had been smashed overhead.

"Who!"

Thorndike immediately reached inside his shirt and looked like he was about to draw his gun, while looking up.

In order to reduce the weight, the top of the hollow is not seen in the trace of anyone or anything.

"Another delusion? Just a little bit of an elevator shake? ”

Thorndike's face was not pretty.

In the past few days, members of the organization have been killed one after another, which has made him very sensitive.

The slightest disturbance will be shocked.

After staring at the top of his head for a long time, making sure that there was really nothing, Thorndike looked down.

At this time, the elevator also descends to the bottom.

Thorndike walked out.

Outside is a fairly bright basement.

There is a round table in the middle.

There were four people seated.

Behind the four people, there are also bodyguards.

Two for each of them, and two more bodyguards stood next to the wall.

There are ten in total.

Several people were directly holding revolvers.

The waist is also bulging, apparently with a second handful.

Two tall men standing near the wall, one of them holding a dagger.

The dagger flew and swirled in the middle of his palm, and a cold light flashed from time to time.

"It's all here."

Thorndike said as he walked over to his seat and sat down.

In fact, there are still three empty seats.

But the masters of these three seats will never arrive.

They were all dead, in just three days.

Not only them, but the rest of the organization were also wiped out.

That night, after an accident in a psychiatric hospital.

Their underground research field directly collapsed into a Jedi.

All the fruits were buried.

Jack White, the most important researcher, also disappeared.

If you're lucky, you might not die.

Bad luck, most of them were buried in the research field.

If it weren't for the fact that Jack the Ripper started to commit a crime frenzy and attracted attention, they secretly tried to press things down.

The current newspaper headlines are certainly sensational cases in psychiatric hospitals.

"Clues, I want clues."

Thorndike said, looking at the others.

Here, apparently, his status is the highest.

"There is no living mouth." Someone said, "But there are still clues, and there are people who have seen these people appearing ......"

One by one, he pressed the portraits on the table, pushed them hard, and slid them into the hands of the others.

The sketch portraits above are somewhat similar to Tang Luo.

However, to be honest, there are many similar dresses in small towns.

And because of the raging relationship with Jack the Ripper, everyone also likes to go together.

"Useful?"

Thorndike suppressed his anger and said, "It's looking for a needle in a haystack." ”

"We can get Gran Field to help, let's just say these people might be with Jack the Ripper-"

"Squeak!"

At this moment, there was a sharp and piercing sound of metal tearing and breaking.

Thorndike jerked his head back.

The figure fell, "smashing" into the narrow elevator.

One hand pressed his hat and lowered his head slightly, so that people could not see his appearance clearly.
