Volume 1 Seraphic Incident - Battle of Star Thunder 18
"No, I don't know any of that, but my instincts have always been accurate. Hua Xiangrong argued. "Especially when looking for someone, my mother is right. β
"Shut up. "Xia County is honored to support the amount. He really didn't believe that if he wanted to walk around, he could find Ragnarok's stronghold. If it's really so easy to find, then there's no need to mix up the shadows.
"Don't you believe it? Don't you think that person was acting a little strangely?"
"What's weird?" Hearing Hua Xiangrong say this, Xia Xianrong naturally recalled the person he had just seen. That man was a non-high-powered man, not outstanding, and even a little cunning...... "You mean that ordinary people should be in awe when they see a magician, and it seems that he dares to shout at us angrily, which already shows that he is unusual?"
"According to you, the man just now is indeed not simple. But it's also possible that the work he does is related to the magician, so he is not surprised by the magician. Xia Xianrong secretly noted down the appearance of the person just now, and was about to find an opportunity to leave Hua Xiangrong to investigate.
"Hey, hey, do you think it's common for a sixth-order magician like you! "Hua Xiangrong is extremely sure.
"Can ordinary people tell the strength of magic power?"
"Uh...... Shouldn't it?"

"In the name of scouting, you are really a spoiled little devil who wantonly ravaged my wallet. Xia Xianrong looked at the bill on his mobile phone, thinking to himself that it was fortunate that all the expenses during his mission were reimbursed by the empire, otherwise he would have died of pain in the past few days. Hua Xiangrong asked him to follow Shang Caixin, Xia Xianrong thought that he had no other target to contact anyway, so he simply agreed. After agreeing, Hua Xiangrong took him to keep drilling into high-consumption places, and visited three hotels and seven restaurants at the end of the day, eating a little at each house, walking and stopping, until sunset, the sky was dark.
"But you're willing to give me your wallet to ravage, isn't it because I'm really powerful?" Hua Xiangrong looked at the photos taken secretly on his phone, and passed them to Xia Xianrong one by one. Although he is the prince of the organization who ignores the affairs of the world, he doesn't understand these things of the Ministry of Culture, but Xia Xianrong understands.
The city they are in now is called "Chiqiu", and it is located in the Heling City District of Island 8. The island shape of Island No. 8 looks like a semi-ellipse, looking north above, there are three horizontal and vertical two or five communication lines, which run through the entire No. 8 Island. Chiqiu is a complete traffic city, located at the node of the vertical and horizontal traffic lines. The huge flow of people can hide a lot of unknown secrets, so Xia Xianrong discovered a lot of people who "have secrets".
For example, Shang Cai Xin. He followed Shang Caixin and saw two people. One is a well-known singer-songwriter in the entertainment industry, and the other is an important employee of the local government. Xia Xian Rong checked this staff member with the dark network, and sure enough, his assessment was ordinary and had no bright spots. But it's just such a person who may be a hidden chess piece that hasn't been discovered.
Flower wants to ...... Could it be that he was born with an ability? Xia Xianrong couldn't help but think of this. He was very curious about who Hua Xiangrong's parents were. Needless to say, it is possible to give birth to a child with innate abilities only if they are at least an eighth-order person.
Innate abilities refer to those who are extremely special in the crowd. It's not limited to high mana, and many non-high mages have innate abilities as well. For example, some people are very lucky, and they are rising all the way in the workplace, which may also be because they have the natural ability of "good luck". Some scholars in the Empire believe that innate abilities are synonymous with luck, but other scholars have made certain cases to prove that innate abilities can be controlled and used by the wielder. The two sides have been arguing endlessly, and there has been no result after a hundred years. Xia Xianrong is biased towards the latter, after all, there is an excellent example in front of him.
Why was the organization of [Ragnarok] completely unknown to the Empire before this? and from what he knew now, it was enough to shake the Empire......
Taking a deep breath, Xia Xianrong put this thought behind him. He is a little dark commissioner, and it is useless for him to think about things that he shouldn't think about.
Xia Xianrong got up to leave, Hua Xiangrong saw him walking away, and couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"
"At the end of the day, we're not mission partners. I've been with you for a few days, but it's just curiosity. Xia Xianrong said indifferently: "I have other things to do, let's see you in the future." β
"Oh. Hua Xiangrong retracted her gaze, and then couldn't help but glance at the man's departing back again. Although the uncle is old-fashioned and boring, he is just a good person, and I hope I will really have a chance to meet again in the future.
As for him...... Hua Xiangrong stared at the bearded man who entered the hall of the restaurant at this time, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his lowered eyes covered the light in his eyes. He should have thought of a way to put this person in the hospital, so that people like flies would not get in the way of his uncle's eyes.

Xia Xianrong's current identity can only have access to a part of the organization's intelligence network, but it does not prevent him from finding people who can access more information.
Sticking a fruit knife into the ruddy apple, Xia Xianrong skillfully divided it into eight. "Maybe it's a little different from you, I don't peel apples. β
At this time, it was close to ten o'clock in the evening, the moonlight of late autumn was bright, there was no wind, no clouds, and the night sky was silent. Xia Xianrong unceremoniously finished eating a whole apple at the home of a cyber intelligence officer.
Coming to the home of the target person, using the safety of life, clichΓ©s, this is the simplest and most brutal method, and it is also the most useful. What's more, Xia Xian Rong was not good at planning, he was even better at assassination - a sixth-order dark demon warrior was certainly suitable for assassination. Therefore, in the process of carrying out the mission, he also knows a lot about all kinds of execution methods that will not show traces, and even if he encounters some hard-mouthed ones, he can successfully obtain a lot of information.
What's more, he is still a member of the organization, as long as he shows his identity and cultivation, he doesn't have to worry about others not agreeing.
"Everything you need is here. Cui Linghan handed a copy to Xia Xianrong. Seeing Xia Xianrong take it, he breathed a sigh of relief. This person broke into his house directly through the window, and bluntly threatened him to give him the information he needed, which scared Cui Linghan a lot, and hurriedly trembled to find information for Xia Xianrong. Don't you say he's just a common man who gets a salary to do things, why did he have to encounter such a scene? Fortunately, Xia Xianrong finally explained the fact that he was also a member of the organization, otherwise Cui Linghan might have chosen to risk his life to tell Mr. Float about this after some struggle.
Xia Xianrong looked at it twice, and was a little surprised: "So you are the center?" Only the center of organizing network information transmission can have so much detailed and sound information.
"You don't know?" Cui Linghan wondered.
"I'm not familiar with Island Eight. Xia Xianrong opened the topic: "Did Mr. Float give you a new order?"
"New directives? I don't know. Cui Linghan shook his head: "I also just came to Island No. 8, and I am only responsible for carrying out some of the orders issued by Mr. Fumare, so I don't really understand what he means." Ah, I have a separate store of his instructions here, do I need to show them to you?"
"Take it. β
Cui Linghan obediently printed out another copy of the information and handed it to Xia Xianrong. Xia Xianrong cautiously flipped through the two pages of the document, and after confirming that this was indeed not a fake, he thanked him: "I will come often in the future." β
"Huh?" the young man was stunned. Why? His little heart can't stand it.
"Just kidding. But I do need to get some other information from you later. β
"Oh...... I take the liberty of asking, how did you find my residence?" Cui Linghan knew that the organization was divided into two civil and military departments, and this was obviously a member of the military department, could it be because he had a bad relationship with Mr. Float, so he had to find him in person?
"Another person told me. β
"Oh...... So, can I ask one more question?"
"Just ask. β
"Isn't there a ban on demons in Chiqiu City, how did you ......" and successfully broke into his house?
In a large traffic city like Chiqiu, the empire has set up a "ban on magic" that does not allow people with high magic power to use magic when their personal safety is not violated, and thousands of magic sensors are arranged along the cables in the city, and as long as you feel the fluctuation of magic power, there will be police dispatch. Xia Xianrong wanted to come in through the window, but he couldn't climb the wall with his bare hands.
"The Demon Prohibition Order is only for those with magic power below the fifth order, you don't even know this?" Xia Xianrong looked the confused young man up and down, and sighed in the tone of a person who came over: "There is no end to learning, not to mention that I am such an identity, at least I must have a general understanding of the empire's laws on high magicians, this is the most basic thing." You don't want to die in vain, do you?"
Cui Linghan immediately shook his head into a rattle.
"Alright, I'm leaving. Xia Xianrong took Cui Linghan's hand, flattened it, put the fruit knife in his hand, and let him hold it. Cui Linghan subconsciously raised his head to meet Xia Xianrong's eyes, only to see that the man's eyes changed in an instant, those dark green eyes were deep and dull, and Cui Linghan had the illusion that he was going to be killed every second after looking at him. Maybe it comes from the instinct of the creature, the young man's clothes are wet with cold sweat behind him, and a cold air on the soles of his feet goes straight up, but he can't escape, his body doesn't obey the call.
"Given your lack of experience, I will carefully advise you this time not to tell anyone that I have been here. β
Xia Xianrong put away his mental coercion, and then used his voice to make Cui Linghan sober. Cui Linghan sat down on the ground with a knife in his hand, his whole body was weak, and he felt that his throat and eyes were aching hotly, his abdomen twitched, and his eyes were black. After a while, I realized that it was because I was wheezing violently, and my body was uncomfortable due to peroxygen. He felt like a drowning fish, struggling on the brink of death.
Thankfully, he's not dead.
Xia Xianrong walked to Cui Linghan's computer desk and found that he was driving the road monitoring in the city, so he asked him, "What are you looking at?"
Cui Linghan's mind went blank. What do you see? He sees everything. Seeing Xia Xianrong facing his screen, he reacted: "This is the task assigned to me by Mr. Float, and I asked me to monitor the wise angel sent by the organization to assist Mr. Float this time." β
β...... Where is he going now?"
"I don't know where he's going, I just know where I'm going to track him through surveillance. By the way, just now he seemed to have grabbed a young man with pink and white hair and carried him into the car. Cui Linghan recalled, seeing Xia Xianrong suddenly turn around and stare at him, he was a little frightened and stammered: "This, this matter, do you want to report it to Mr. Fuma?"
"Report it now! Send me the map, I'll rush over now. β
Xia Xianrong had a headache. The pink-haired boy is qualified to be caught by Shang Caixin, who else can he be besides Hua Xiangrong.
