Night.

The outer city under the purple moon was dark and silent.

Compared to the inner city in the distance, this place is more like a pool of stagnant water at the moment.

Across a wide river, you can vaguely see the tall buildings in the inner city in the distance.

The lights are brilliant, like the stars in the night.

The galaxy is reflected in the inky black river, which is the all-night hustle and bustle of the rich.

After watching it for a long time, I seem to be able to hear the collision of wine glasses and loud laughter from there.

Chen Lun had been standing behind a tree by the river for a long time, looking at a bridge through the guardrail.

The bridge has a checkpoint, and teams of five people work in shifts.

"Through this bridge, you can enter the inner city from the outer city......"

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He came here at night because he wanted to go to the inner city in advance to find out the situation and prepare for the next plan.

The separation between the inner and outer cities is quite tight.

In order to prevent people from smuggling from the river to the opposite bank, a row of five or six meters high guardrails has even been erected on both sides of the river.

The black-painted metal guardrails are finely spaced and less than a palm's wide, and the tips are as sharp as a gun. If someone tries to climb over the guardrail, they will break their stomach if they are not careful.

And on the surface of the Amber River, as well as along the banks of the inner city, there are police and guards patrolling cross-sections, and there are almost no dead ends.

I'm afraid it's because the outer city is too chaotic.

The inner city is inhabited by people from the upper echelons of power and money, and if the two sides are allowed to communicate with each other, it is very likely to cause danger to the residents of the inner city.

The more noble the person, the more afraid he is to deal with the bottom.

Amber City is the result of the influence of the magnates on the council.

"It's really strict......"

Chen Lun sighed, it is difficult to sneak into such a situation.

But there was no need for him to sneak in.

"Fortunately, I already have identification, and I will be interrogated at most."

After a short pause, Chen Lun's body moved, like a fast-swimming ghost, and disappeared in place.

In front of the sentry post on the bridge, the two guards standing guard had just finished checking a caravan carriage and were standing boredly, when they soon saw a tall man walking slowly.

"Sorry, please show your identification."

A guard with a short sword at his waist and a leather-gloved hand outstretched.

Chen Lun handed over a small leather notebook.

The guards opened their identification documents and looked at the black-haired young man in front of him a few times by the light of the street lamps on both sides.

He was seen dressed decently and holding a book in his hand, indeed as stated on his identification.

The guard handed back the identification and saluted with his left hand on his right chest.

"Mr. Jack, may the sun shine upon you."

He stretched out his hand and moved out of the way.

Chen Lun nodded, and walked straight onto the bridge under the gaze of several guards.

Walking on the bridge, overlooking the river on one side, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Indeed, as he expected, it will be difficult to move an inch in the inner city without identification, and I am afraid that he will not even be able to pass this level.

When you actually enter the inner city, the first thing to do is to find a permanent place to live so that you don't have to be constantly checked.

After crossing the bridge, Chen Lun came to an extremely spacious street.

The view is spectacular.

The street floor is paved with uniform blue-gray stone bricks, and the flanks are flanked by tall and neat buildings.

Most of those buildings looked like shops of all kinds, and Chen Lun also found a branch of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce in them.

Unlike the outer cities, electricity is widely used here, and it is like two very different systems, operating on their own.

Colourful signboards glitter at night, and horse-drawn carriages and well-dressed pedestrians weave through the streets.

In a trance, Chen Lun seemed to see the shadow of his previous life.

He walked all the way, following the roadside signs, towards the second avenue, where the Pompeii estate was located.

It is not uncommon to see fashionable women walking in groups on the streets. Some would also turn their heads and wink at Chen Lun, then chuckle and leave.

If Chen Lun stepped forward and said in a magnetic voice at this time, beautiful young lady, please give me a chance to invite you to coffee.

Then the probability of these women handing over their contact information is probably 100%.

But he didn't have time to pick up girls.

After spending nearly two hours and a few long detours, Chen Lun finally found Second Street.

And by this time it was already late at night.

The terrain in the inner city is on the high side, and the further you go in, the higher you get.

From here, you can see the spacious Amber River and the dark outer town.

"9 Second Avenue, Pompeii."

He came to the outskirts of a large manor.

The rustling of the wind blows the lush trees of the manor, and the shadows of the trees sway gently.

Looking through the intricately carved black guardrail, you can faintly see a lawn through the gap, and there are several villas in the deepest part, which are lit up.

Walking around the guardrail, Chen Lun estimated the area in his heart.

"It's so big...... How do I find it? ”

Chen Lun couldn't help frowning.

While he was thinking, suddenly his expression moved, and he dodged behind a tree, hiding in the shadows.

Footsteps followed, and two police officers from the police station passed by with lanterns and a large dog.

“…… Recently, the order was conveyed from above to increase the length of patrols, alas, I still want to go home and spend more time with my daughter. ”

"No way, bear with me, man.

Something so big happened at the Garden Hotel, even Lawson's son died there, and it was inevitable that the security would be strengthened. ”

Two officers were chatting, and one of them was complaining.

"Those damn extremists did such a cruel thing......!"

"Do you believe the explanation given above? Forget it, I saw the investigator of the mysterious department at the scene with my own eyes, and this is probably not done by normal people......"

As they walked away, the big dog at their feet seemed to have noticed something and stood still.

It stared straight at Chen Lun's hiding place and let out a slight low roar.

The police officer felt the rope in his hand tighten, and also noticed the abnormality of the big dog.

"What's wrong, Charlie?"

Following the dog's line of sight, the two officers looked at a tree outside the fence of Pompeii. Years of experience have taught them that there seems to be a cat in the shadows behind the trees.

They glanced at each other, and invariably took out their throwing sticks, formed horns with each other, and slowly approached Chen Lun.

One of them also kept the whistle to his mouth, ready to blow it at any moment to call nearby police for support.

Chen Lun's heart tightened.

He didn't want to be discovered, it would disrupt his plans.

The index finger lit up slightly, and he hooked it towards the big dog.

The dog broke free from the rope and rushed past the two police officers to Chen Lun.

"Charlie!"

Before they could react, the big dog named Charlie ran back to their feet.

Wagging his tail, he handed over a silver jue in his mouth.

"Uh...... Silver Lord? Haha, what a good boy! ”

"When did Charlie learn to pick up money? Man, I think I can make a fortune from it......"

The two officers breathed a sigh of relief, teased each other, and left with the dog.

The big dog turned his head and saw a thumbs sticking out in the shadows behind the tree.

Its tail wagged even more cheerfully.

Waiting for the police officers to go away, Chen Lun walked out from behind the tree.

"It still seems too idealistic."

He glanced at the Viscount Manor beside him and groaned.

Originally, I was going to find a chance to sneak in, find [Philip's Legacy] and leave.

But now it seems that this plan is a bit unrealistic.

Pompeii's estate was so big that even if he used animals to search inside, it would take a lot of time. However, it is impossible for him to appear in this area frequently, which is easy to arouse suspicion.

"Let's use the alternative...... Break into the manor first, and then wait for an opportunity to find it. ”

Having made up his mind, Chen Lun was ready to leave.

When passing by the gate of Pompeii's estate, it happened that two middle-aged maids came out of it.

They were carrying some packages in their hands and seemed to be ready to go out.

“…… Miss Rebecca has been throwing tantrums a lot lately, which is a real headache. ”

"It's okay, Lord Viscount has already found a candidate for a tutor, it seems that he is a professor at Yellow Iris Academy, and he will come to the door in a few days......

When the time comes, Miss Rebecca won't be so idle, and she will always make fun of us. ”

Chen Lun's face walked forward as usual, but his heart sank.

Someone chosen?

Is the road to the alternative blocked too!?
