"I'm sorry to visit late at night, but I do have something important to tell you."

In the corner of the hall, there was only a dim candle, and Thomas seemed to pull the brim of his hat a little uncomfortably, and lowered his voice:

"I've got an impromptu tip-off that the Back-of-the-Head Raider might be taking action tonight on a Ron Warlock who is in charge of sourcing from the Second Roundabout!"

"It's a great opportunity for us to take advantage of him."

There was a hint of excitement in his tone, if Xu Nan hadn't been able to see his true emotions through the super-spiritual vision, he would have been deceived by his slightly improved acting skills.

"Really? Then why are you still stunned? ”

Xu Nan asked with a smile.

Thomas was stunned for a moment, and he hesitated, "What do you mean?" ”

Xu Nan pretended to be confused and said, "Shouldn't it be the duty of your law enforcement team to arrest criminals?" ”

"I'm just a traveler, and I'm very interested, but it's not good to intervene directly, right?"

Thomas was silent for a while, then said with relief:

"So you're worried about that."

"Actually, it's not that there is no workaround, as you know, I'm working alone now, and I lack a partner, and it just so happens that the law enforcement team has been short of manpower recently, so I can temporarily apply for a [collaborator] certificate for you, so it makes sense for you to intervene in this matter."

"To be honest, although I got this tip, I always felt that the news came too easily, and I didn't trust the informant very much; Of course, I'm not afraid, I just want to make things better......"

Xu Nan suddenly realized: "Then you mean, you want me to be your assistant?" ”

Thomas nodded:

"If you want to."

Xu Nan patted his chest: "Of course you can!" ”

But without waiting for Thomas's expression to turn into a standard smile, he quickly added:

"And how much are you going to spend?"

"As a friendly reminder, my worth is not cheap."

Thomas looked confused, didn't you say you were interested in this case? Now that you have a chance to intervene, you still have to collect Lao Tzu's money?

He was a little puzzled, but he quickly smiled: "Of course the help is not gratuitous. ”

"For each [collaborator], the law enforcement team will carry out post-event subsidy ...... in accordance with standard terms."

Xu Nan blinked: "I have never believed in afterthought. ”

Thomas's face stiffened slightly.

But on second thought, the Ron's greed for money has always been one of the big reasons for their notoriety; Although Xu Nan's move is in contrast to the previous bribery, it is not completely unreasonable.

Bribe...... Yes!

Looking at Xu Nan's smiling expression, Thomas suddenly realized, scolded the door in his heart, and moved quickly at hand, pretending to be a little painful and took out the metal box before:

"Hmm...... Since you don't want to believe in the subsidy of the time, then this local product will be put in your hands as a collateral first. ”

His tone sounded somewhat reluctant.

But the mood was as calm as ever.

"Sure enough, I'm still acting." Xu Nan was satisfied and took back his share of the pure gold from Thomas, and immediately became extremely cooperative:

"Let's go! The arrest of the prisoner is a matter of urgency, Mr. Thomas, let's not procrastinate! ”

Thomas looked depressed.

But he still asked, "What about the lady before?" The one you've always been with? ”

Xu Nan waved his hand: "She went to play somewhere else, it's okay, don't worry about her." ”

Since he decided to use himself as bait to lure Thomas to the bait, Xu Nan naturally would not let Xie Yutong follow and risk his life; In the afternoon, he used Paradise Lost's communication channel to call her out, and then sent her to Roger's Elemental Tower, where Roger arranged a part-time job for her.

In the next few days, Xie Yutong, who was in the Elemental Tower, should not be in danger.

Thomas nodded thoughtfully, didn't dare to ask more, and left the lettuce hotel with Xu Nan.

Burst.

After the two left, a gust of wind blew leisurely, blowing out the last candle.

……

The second roundabout, a corner of the bustling neighborhood in the west.

In a small alley opposite the Ivory Tavern, two figures hidden in the darkness were waiting.

Naturally, it was Xu Nan and Thomas.

Along the way, Thomas gave Xu Nan a list of suspects, and there were three main people on the list. All three of them are likely to have been involved in the parody of the back-of-the-head attacker.

According to Thomas, it is much easier to find the real culprit after catching the imitator.

He had wanted to follow the list for an in-depth investigation, but he received a temporary piece of information from an informant and was told that someone was going to do it tonight.

The target was a Warlock Ron who had just arrived at the Second Roundabout today, and was currently talking to someone in the Ivory Tavern. Thomas had done a good job of exploring, and the area was actually quite bright, except for this small alley, which might be a more suitable place to start.

The premise is that the warlock will walk this alley. If the murderer could have foreseen this, there would be a lot to scrutinize.

"Anyway, just wait for a while, if this line report is fake, I will immediately go and investigate the three people on the list."

These are Thomas's exact words.

Xu Nan readily agreed on the surface, but he was already complaining frantically in his heart.

It's just that in order to cooperate with Thomas, he has to act, and it is subtle to say that both of them are acting, but I don't know who can calculate whom.

Although Xu Nan was confident, he also found an opportunity to contact Akai with a quick letter ghost.

Akai's reply was brief: act on the opportunist.

This made Xu Nan very satisfied, what he was most afraid of was that he found something, but because this was Stephen Sand, he was fooled by Akai under various names; Now that Akai has said so, he has obviously given himself the greatest authority to deal with it.

He hid quietly in the alley, silently observing Thomas.

In all fairness, his acting skills are impeccable, and along the way, Xu Nan occasionally finds a few tentative topics, all of which he has dealt with perfectly in the past. For a moment, Xu Nan wondered if he had made a mistake.

At this time, Thomas suddenly lowered his voice and reminded:

"Here we are."

Sure enough, out of the middle of the tavern came a man of medium stature, wearing a green hood, a green tunic and a grass-green belt—a style that was clearly out of step with Stephen Sand's people.

Apparently the Ron Warlock from Paradise Lost.

"Will he take this box?"

Xu Nan was a little curious.

At the same time, he was looking around, the alley was a shortcut from the ivory tavern to the street next door, and a few drunks passed by occasionally, most of whom seemed to dislike it, and few people passed by.

Not far away, there was a drunken drunk lying in the corner whispering.

"If someone really wants to do something to him, who will that person be?"

Xu Nan observed for a long time, but did not determine the location of the suspect.

Fortunately, he and Thomas maintained a good position, and the two of them were able to take care of each other. As for the possibility that Thomas himself was the sneak attacker in the back of the head, Xu Nan had not considered it, but it was really too wild, and was finally ruled out by Xu Nan.

The warlock stood for a moment at the tavern door, as if waiting for someone, and after a short time a short man did have a brief conversation with him; After the short man left, the warlock quickened his pace, and after looking to the side to make sure no one was paying attention to him, he strode straight into the alley!

Xu Nan silently paid attention to him and the surrounding situation.

Thomas was even more aggressive, at least as it seemed.

The warlock's footsteps were fast, because in the darkness, Xu Nan couldn't see his face clearly, but at this time, he suddenly felt that this person was a little familiar.

It's just that before he could identify the identity of the other party, a trace of abnormal aura fluctuations finally appeared in the dark alley.

It's the bum!

He just pretended to be drunk, but that was just his disguise - because he focused on other people, Xu Nan actually subconsciously ignored the homeless man.

He didn't even glance at the homeless man with his psychic vision.

"This guy has a big problem! He must have a spell like [Subconscious Invisibility Technique] on him! ”

At that moment, Xu Nan suddenly realized.

But soon he thought of another question, the guy who can use subconscious stealth must be the big guy among alchemists, why would this kind of person come to attack Ron Warlock?

Say it's too late, then it's too fast.

Before Xu Nan's thoughts could react, the edge in the homeless man's hand had already flashed, it was a huge mace!

"I'll go! Is it so violent? ”

Xu Nan was shocked.

He didn't panic though, because Thomas had already done it. This member of the law enforcement team showed extremely high quality, and a long-standing [Weapon Crushing Technique] came first, directly turning the mace into powder.

The warlock reacted as well and quickly turned around, only to see a pile of flying powder and a homeless man imprisoned by a spell!

[Transcendent Confinement]!

This is one of the self-created spells that the Stephen Sand Enforcement Team is proud of!

Every time this dark blue light is lit up, all the inhabitants of Stephen Sand have to give in to it—in Stephen Sand, the authority of the law enforcement team is amazing.

Thomas held the staff in his hand, his expression was slightly proud, and the corners of his mouth rose:

"I got you."

The homeless man looked at Thomas in amazement, his whole body was crushed to the ground by the powerful arcane shockwave, and he lost the ability to resist.

The special spell of transcendent imprisonment was developed by the members of the law enforcement team specifically for wizards, and in the confinement, unless the magic power exceeds the caster by a lot, it is impossible to resist at all.

At the beginning, because of this spell, there was a lot of controversy within Stephen Sand, believing that this spell would be abused by the law enforcement team and there would be violent law enforcement, in fact, this slightly pessimistic concern was considered correct, such as Akai often did this.

But for some reason, Stephen Sand's higher-level officials still did not ban this spell, but only strengthened the supervision of the members of the law enforcement team and established the so-called inspection office.

Regardless, this spell ensures that the members of the enforcement team are almost invincible among wizards of the same level in a one-on-one situation!

"He's really going to be transcendent."

"Am I really wrong?"

Thomas's performance surprised Xu Nan a little. If it's an impostor, the rest of the play is similar, but this forbidden spell level is not easy to master!

"What about taking bribes?"

Now, Xu Nan is also a little confused.

……

In the alley, the warlock seemed a little surprised by what had suddenly happened.

Thomas still maintained a spell-casting posture to prevent the drunk from making any moves, he looked at the warlock and smiled kindly: "Law enforcement team, this guy wants to attack you, but your luck is good, we got the news in advance." ”

"Next, you just need to go back to the office with us to go through the process."

He looked at the place where Xu Nan was hiding, and Xu Nan needed to make a move at this time.

It's not for nothing that the enforcement team is a team of two, and at times like these, Thomas must be preoccupied with exerting control over the suspects.

The person who contacted the potential victim could only be Xu Nan, and it just so happened that he was also a Warlock Ron, so it was easier to deal with.

Xu Nan slowly appeared, but before he could speak, the other party had already preemptively surprised:

"Mr. Xu Nan?"

"Huh?" Xu Nan looked at it, and when he was close at this time, he saw the other party's face clearly, and he was really an acquaintance.

Green. Cebaron.

"How are you?" Xu Nan was very surprised.

The last time I saw Green was at Twin Moon Plaza in Wildfire City; After the Star Spirit Ryll incident, Green, who was deeply implicated by the superior devil Sebaron, left the Northland in frustration, and Xu Nan didn't know where he went, he only heard some fragmentary news from the other two members of the 999 trio.

If Green was just a little warlock with little talent and troubled by traits before, then now he has become full of charm after only about two months.

Even in the dark, even Xu Nan could feel the attraction from the bone, and it was obvious that Green had changed a lot.

Xu Nan also smelled a strong smell of perfume, which smelled more than one kind of perfume, and obviously belonged to different women.

"His strength is at least close to the third order, and he is almost catching up with me."

"So fast, so strong......"

"It seems that people will always change, after stimulating the potential of traits, is it really that strong?"

Xu Nan once again lemoned deeply.

"Looks like they're friends."

Thomas seemed to be in a good mood, and couldn't help but laugh and whistle:

"If there's anything, let's go back and talk about it first."

Xu Nan nodded.

However, at this moment, a galloping purple light passed through the small alley and suddenly stopped in front of the four people.

"This person, I want it."

The man pointed to the transcendent imprisoned homeless man on the ground and said coldly.

"Vice-Captain?" Thomas's face was a little ugly: "It's not in order. ”

Akai wore a pair of thick purple leather gloves and glanced at Thomas:

"Oh, really?"

In the next second, he hit Thomas directly on the side of the face with a heavy fist of lightning, knocking him all into the wall on the side of the alley!

Thundered.

Thomas was instantly unconscious, blood pouring wildly, and the dirt and stones on the wall were rolling down.

"It's up to the rules now."

He grabbed the frightened-looking "homeless man" and said so.

……

Akai's strong arrival completely broke Xu Nan's plan, and he originally wanted to follow the vine of Thomas and touch the melon hidden behind him. But Akai's guy suddenly came out and cut him even the vine and melon in one go!

This made Xu Nan a little unhappy, and even made him wonder if he had found the wrong person.

"You've got five minutes to catch up."

Akai said to Xu Nan.

Then he grabbed the homeless man and walked to the other side of the alley, where an impromptu interrogation seemed to begin.

Xu Nan glanced at Thomas on the ground, this guy was miserable, he had been beaten by Akai to the point of being inhuman.

"By the way, you'd better not touch that guy and let my partner come."

"She's a telemagician, and she's best suited for situations like this; Also, don't try to talk to her, she's deaf and dumb. ”

As Akai turned around, a woman in a plain lilac robe quietly appeared by the wall.

"That purple light just now wasn't Akai's?"

"This woman is a telemagician?"

Xu Nan looked at this relatively rare profession with some curiosity.

The woman smiled softly at him, then crouched down to check on Thomas.

"Am I getting into a big deal?"

As if frightened by the battle in front of him, Green looked at Xu Nan with a confused expression.

……
