Horford has the ability to enter and leave the Halsay Palace freely, so he is not with Xu Nan.

According to yesterday's plan, he would go to the Twilight Hall alone and try to steal the Bridging Book. Anyway, today's twilight hall is full of people, and there will be many alchemists who will come to listen to this debate, and even if they really lose the bridging book, it is estimated that they will not suspect that the artifact leader is an inner ghost for a while.

Xu Nan walked aimlessly along the corridor on the side of the three-leaf hall.

The Halsay Palace is just too big.

After the seal was lifted, Stephensand didn't have enough manpower to inspect and monitor every corner, which gave the Lifestealers a lot of room to operate.

After all, the owner of this palace is no longer there, and even Ansuli can't control the whole situation through the fixed magic array of the Halsai Palace itself; Conversely, they will also lose their home advantage due to the various spell designs unique to Halsai Palace.

With the infiltration ability of the Soul Stealing Monster, if it hadn't bumpered with Xu Nan, it would have been really difficult to identify.

So, just in case, the law enforcement team still prepared a large number of live rabbits.

They were going to drop the rabbits when necessary, to catch the Lifestealers by surprise.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Akai's intelligence is correct.

"I heard that the soul thief on Heiwo Island was caught by Senior Sister Jiang and the team."

"The errand she mentioned before is running errands outside the city, and she is actually capturing soul stealers."

Regarding which parts of the law enforcement team's operations outside the city, Xu Nan had only read the part of the dossier provided by Akai - judging from the description, it was quite thrilling, and someone was almost caught by the Soul Stealing Monster and turned into nourishment.

No wonder Jiang Yuanchi has been staying in Stephen Sand, an enemy of this level is indeed very nerve-wracking.

There was a turn ahead.

Xu Nan couldn't help but slow down.

"Over there, it's the Dusk Hall."

"It seems that there are a lot of alchemists who join in the fun."

He glanced at the other side of the passage, and could vaguely see many people.

Compared to the purification ritual that had been going on for two days, for most wizards, today's debate was the main event.

Everyone was looking forward to the identity of the Anonymous.

"What an eventful time. Dead Helena can be resurrected...... Well? ”

Just when he was thinking wildly, Xu Nan suddenly saw a familiar face in the afterglow!

That's a fat woman!

She was dressed in a very standard alchemist's uniform, and had just walked from the twilight hall, her steps were steady, her face was smiling, and she looked quite amiable.

It's Miranda!

Xu Nan's pupils shrank slightly.

When they were at the Lettuce Inn, they didn't catch the innkeeper who was suspected of being a high-level soul stealer. Although Akai later sent elite members of the law enforcement team to search, Miranda showed superb anti-search skills and was not found at all.

Xu Nan thought she had left Stephen Sand.

I didn't expect it to appear here!

And it's still true.

"She infiltrated as an alchemist?"

"Where is this going?"

Xu Nan walked past her quietly, without much hesitation, but slightly raised his chin at a certain angle.

Miranda apparently saw him.

There was surprise and hesitation in her eyes.

After only a few steps, Xu Nan heard a gentle and familiar voice behind him:

"Thomas?"

Xu Nan ignored her, but sped up his pace and walked towards the depths of the passage.

Xu Nan's reaction made Miranda even more hesitant, but he didn't give her much time to think at all, seeing that the figure was about to disappear into the shadows.

Miranda still stomped her foot and followed, separated from Xu Nan by half a body.

Xu Nan sneered in his heart, he didn't speak, just lowered his head and walked away.

Miranda was very patient, she seemed to have misunderstood something, and followed Xu Nan all the time.

Xu Nan is even less anxious, his every move is under the nose of the law enforcement team, and it is estimated that Akai and the others are discussing countermeasures at this time.

He just needs to set up doubts and drag Miranda.

Wait for Akai to figure out the strategy, what they need to do, and just execute it.

It's just that it didn't take long for Xu Nan to suddenly feel as if something was missing behind him.

He jerked back and looked—

Miranda, gone!

"She's found me!"

Xu Nan was not annoyed, but a little pity.

"Where did she disappear?"

Not far away, two members of the law enforcement team who were secretly following also ran over.

They looked at a wall beside the passage with some confusion and groped their hands gently.

"There should be a secret door here."

"That woman just came through the secret door."

"Found it!"

A wizard chanted a spell in a low voice, his hand pressed against a slightly raised particle, and suddenly white light shone brightly.

A laser-like secret door revealed through the thick walls.

"The Soul Stealers are more familiar with the Halsay Palace than you are......"

Xu Nan couldn't help but complain.

"Looks like Miranda is a lot more alert than you expected."

Now it seems that Xu Nan's disguise did not seem to deceive this high-level soul thief, but instead exposed the drama that the law enforcement team was setting traps and waiting for the soul thieves to take the bait-

Miranda chose to follow Xu Nan on the surface, but in fact she was ready to leave at any time.

This completely caught the law enforcement team off guard.

No one would have guessed that the Lifestealers would know so much about Halsai Palace. Judging by Miranda's skill, it shouldn't be the first time she's done this.

No wonder the young lady Xu Nan saw in the Dawn Hall before disappeared so cleanly!

"Beware of traps."

Xu Nan reminded. The two members of the enforcement team nodded, and they quickly did a [trap test] to make sure they were safe before walking in quickly!

Xu Nan seemed to be about to follow, but at the last moment, he suddenly stopped.

He stood where he was, and stood for a long time, until the secret door disappeared, and he did not move.

He seems to have suddenly entered a daze mode.

"Huh?"

It was a long time before a sneer came through the air: "You're more alert than the wizards." ”

Ten paces away.

The air twisted slightly, and Miranda's chubby figure appeared leisurely.

"Sure enough, it's fake." Xu Nan sighed softly: "You soul stealers are really very sinister." ”

Miranda smirked:

"Strictly speaking, we're all anthropological with you."

Xu Nan looked at her expression, slightly curious:

"Isn't the Soulstealer supposed to be emotionless?"

"Compared to the last time we met, you seem to have a lot more emotions......"

Xu Nan has always had an over-the-top vision, and of course he knows Miranda's situation well.

Although she is still at a very low level compared to normal people, for the Lifestealer, her emotions are now rich.

Is it the human body that is subtly changing her?

Xu Nan was a little curious.

Hearing this, Miranda's expression became nervous as if she had been stepped on by a cat with her tail.

She pretended not to care and laughed dryly:

"Don't you care about the situation of your two companions?"

Xu Nan nodded: "It seems that that secret door is actually a portal." ”

"How are they now?"

Miranda sneered:

"It's a pretty standard Star-Moon Gate."

"As for your two companions, of course, I sent them to our mothership...... I'm sure you'll see them again soon, oh no, if it's you, there's probably no chance. ”

Xu Nan let out an "oh", casually took out a time-space remote control from the crotch of his pants, and pressed the detonation button.

It's a shame that he can't hear it, but he can remember the scene where the alchemy bomb he placed in the two inflatable golems explodes on the Lifestealer Mothership.

Well, the money for the purchase of the alchemy bomb, remember to ask Akai for reimbursement.

Well, remember to add a markup.

"I'm glad I had an extra mind."

"How could the Soulstealers know more about Halsay Palace than the wizards!"

Xu Nan sent a signal to inform Akai to prepare to close the net.

Miranda didn't react, she couldn't understand the meaning of Xu Nan's operation, and she didn't expect that the two "wizards" who were abducted by her on the mothership were actually just two inflatable puppets.

But she still knows the situation on the spot.

The real members of the law enforcement team appeared.

There were four of them, two of whom were carrying rabbits.

"You humans are so conceited and stupid."

Miranda mocked again:

"Do you think we're a race like you, who know we have weaknesses but never get to make up for them?"

Xu Nan reminded:

"I don't think so, but you're becoming more human."

"Guys, go on, don't leave your hands behind, give me a hard beating."

As he spoke, the four wizards made a move!

Rushing to the front, it was actually the two rabbits, and sure enough, when they encountered the Spirit Stealer, the rabbits seemed to have become the most ferocious predators, regardless of the size difference between themselves and the other party.

"Get out of here!" Miranda let out a low snort.

A rich black-purple color suddenly spread from the back of her hand.

Her nails grew unusually long, and with a single grab, she disemboweled the two rabbits.

It seems that the Lifestealers have indeed evolved.

The wizards began to use instantaneous spells in an attempt to imprison Miranda's actions.

But Miranda's strength is a bit scary.

She looked as if she was completely exempt from low-level instantaneous spells.

A fireball the size of a basin and an arrow of acid strong enough to melt metal hit her, but it didn't make any difference.

Confinement spells can have some effect, but they are also very limited!

"Her body ......"

"Is this a bloodline fusion?"

Xu Nan frowned.

He didn't make a move, but chose to observe.

Miranda at this moment is completely different from the beginning.

Her skin turned purple-black, and fine scales grew from the neck down.

It's like a half-human, half-snake monster.

This situation was something Xu Nan did not expect.

He hadn't fought the Lifestealers before, and Thomas was knocked unconscious and taken away by Akai, and he wasn't as scary as Miranda.

"By the way, what about Akai? Didn't you just send him a signal? ”

Xu Nan felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"You look surprised."

"Let me tell you that on the way to exile, we have successfully reached a symbiotic agreement with another race, and we are one step closer to perfection."

"This time, this suspended fortress can no longer stop our mothership."

Miranda withstood the intense spell attacks of the wizards as she retreated in the direction of the secret door.

The wizards of the law enforcement team are the elite of the elite.

Miranda was able to resist these witchcrafts, and she also exempted many transformation spells in front of Xu Nan, showing the rare magic resistance of the Soul Stealers, which made Xu Nan finally a little unbearable.

He's going to make a move.

It's just that at this time, Miranda's back was completely leaning against the purple secret door.

The light gate that was originally extinguished lit up again, and above the light gate, there was even a sign of a moon!

"It's ...... The Star Moon Gate of the Soul Stealers! ”

"What is she going to do?"

Xu Nan slammed into action.

Element throwing knives.

The long-accumulated gatekeeping technique of the Apostle of Desire has finally been activated, but at this moment, it seems that it is a little too late.

Because in the secret door behind Miranda, there was already a sound of machinery starting.

A sharp triangular bow appeared on the stone wall!

That's it, the vanguard ship of the Lifestealer Legion!

……

In the cold meteorite belt, fleets like space fortresses are gathering.

On the bridge of the mothership, a large number of creatures are waiting for you.

These creatures come in different forms, some resemble insects, some resemble wild beasts, and some have long wings. However, they have one very distinct thing in common, that is, their bodies are the most powerful weapons of war!

"We have braved the waves on the road of evolution, and we are finally about to reach the other side."

In the hearts of all living beings, such a voice sounded.

"After a long years of exile, we have finally found the race that best fits our souls in the multiverse. Let's pay tribute to the great brood! ”

"The body of the zerg, the soul of the soulstealer, super individual ability, and unparalleled war intelligence......"

"We're destined to settle for anything."

"Go ahead, we today will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of biological evolution in the multiverse......"

The Soul Stealers had no feelings, but the Zerg flesh that carried their souls began to get excited.

In the void, one by one the starry moon doors were opened.

Small pioneer ships forced their way in.

The scene was slightly chaotic, so much so that people ignored the information that a Vanguard ship had automatically exploded before entering the Star and Moon Gate.

In the self-detonating vanguard ship, a blue streamer poured into the Star Moon Gate and quickly disappeared.

……

Syllable!

In Xu Nan's hand, there was an expensive scout ball.

This was originally something he had prepared to track down the Lifestealer, but he didn't expect it to come in handy in this situation.

He quickly checked what the Scout Ball had observed, and his pupils shrank!

His bad premonition actually came true!

Something went wrong with Akai's intelligence.

Today is not the day for the Lifestealer Legion to carry out a small-scale attack on the Palace of Halsay!

But......

Massive invasion!

……
