Chapter 39: Night Detective

For a moment everyone was lost in thought, and the room became quiet, except for the sound of rain pounding on the window.

"Why don't we go directly to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow?" Seeing that everyone was no longer talking, Liao suddenly proposed.

"No, we can't take any chances until we find out what the enemy is doing!" Ryder decisively refused.

"But I can't figure out the situation when I stay here!, it's better to call directly!"

"It's really not okay to stay here, we can't afford to wait. Jane interjected, this time on Ryo's side.

"I'll go to find out!" Lianhua said suddenly.

"There's a good chance that the necromancer who created the zombie disease is in the City Lord's Mansion!" Ryder reminded.

"I know!" Lianhua nodded at Ryder.

"It's too dangerous! Are you sure you're going?" asked Ryder, looking at Lianhua.

"Confirm something!"

Ryder wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a while. Liao is a person who knows Lianhua's surname, and he also knows that their family is good at this kind of thing, so naturally he will not object. Jane didn't think of any other feasible way, and all three of them acquiesced.

It is impossible to do such a thing as spying on news during the day, and night is the most natural protective color. It's too much of a waste of time to wait for tomorrow night, and they can't afford to wait for this time, so it's just tonight.

When everything was ready, Jane walked up to Lianhua and took out a scroll and a dark blue stone from her backpack and handed them to him, and explained, "I have set up a positioning magic array outside the church, this scroll is the 'Fixed-point Teleportation Scroll', if you encounter trouble in the City Lord's Mansion, you can directly use it, and you can return to the church." The other is the Memory Stone, which records your discoveries along the way. ”

Lianhua understood what Jane meant, and after putting the two things close to her, she took advantage of the night to open the window of Ryder's room, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"I'll try to communicate with the Light again!" said Ryder and left the room.

"I've found a place to meditate. Jane left the room the second.

"Really, then I can't lag behind!" Li Ao directly took off his clothes, dragged the giant sword through the window and rushed into the rain shirtless, and began to cultivate.

Obviously, Ryder, Jane, and Liao didn't want to sit idle and wait for Lianhua to return.

In the dark night, Lianhua was running through the streets of Kasro City, there were no street lights, no moonlight, and it was still raining lightly, and the surrounding area was pitch black, and the visibility was very low, but these did not affect Lianhua's speed. Strangely, the zombies that were still roaming around during the day and hindering them were all gone, and the whole city of Kasro was like an empty city.

The closer you get to the City Lord's Mansion, the stronger the fishy smell in the air. "It seems that there is indeed something wrong with the City Lord's Mansion. "I haven't arrived at the City Lord's Mansion yet, I can already confirm one thing, Lianhua thought like this, looked at the City Lord's Mansion in the distance, jumped with both feet, and climbed onto the eaves. After getting to the eaves, Lianhua deliberately slowed down, suppressed the footsteps, and bent her body slightly, looking more like a nimble black cat shuttling on the eaves from a distance.

Stopped on the last row of eaves, Lianhua lowered her body and lay on the eaves, only revealing a pair of eyes to look out, the city lord's mansion was close in front of her, and the pungent fishy smell was emanating from the city lord's mansion, this smell made Lianhua a little nauseous, and she could only temporarily seal her sense of smell with her fighting spirit. Across the street, the city lord's mansion under the rain curtain was as majestic as ever, and a vermilion gate was tightly closed, as if it was rejecting all visitors. A neat and powerful sound of footsteps came from behind the gate, which made Lianhua a little puzzled, because ordinary zombies couldn't make such a sound.

On the eaves, he couldn't see the situation in the city lord's mansion clearly, Lianhua simply didn't look at it, jumped down from the eaves, and with the momentum of falling, the "Shadow Shura" was released to cover the whole body, and before the landing, the "Shadow Curtain" had been completed and entered a state of invisibility. Under the cover of darkness, the stealth is more perfect and less noticeable. After landing, Lianhua did not pause, took advantage of the momentum, jumped high and climbed over the vermilion gate, and landed gently and steadily in the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Fu Bing, what the hell is going on?" In order to clarify this doubt, Lianhua tiptoed to catch up.

Lianhua quickly followed them, but the soldiers didn't notice that there was one more person next to them, and continued to walk aimlessly in the front yard. They couldn't see Lianhua, but Lianhua saw them clearly. It was a pale, lifeless face, a pair of green, godless eyes.

"Infected!" Lian Hua was a little surprised, this was the first time he had seen such an infected person, it was completely different from what appeared during the day, and the city lord's mansion was even more advanced. Suddenly, a terrible thought appeared in Lianhua's mind at this time, "The zombie disease has been upgraded!" And not only this team, there are also many government soldiers standing guard around, which are estimated to be infected.

"No, it's just a matter of entering the City Lord's Mansion and there has been such a discovery, it seems that the situation is much more serious than imagined!" Lianhua thought as she quickly walked through the front yard. After entering the inner court and bypassing those guards standing guard, a faint candlelight attracted Lianhua's attention, and if there was a candlelight, it meant that there was someone.

Following the candlelight, Lianhua came to the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, which was used by the City Lord for meeting guests or office on weekdays, and at this time, with the help of the faint candlelight on the pillar, he could vaguely see an old man sitting on the main seat with his eyes closed. Although the old man's eyes were closed, powerful magical fluctuations filled the entire main hall.

Such a powerful magic fluctuation was something that Lianhua had never encountered. Just feeling its presence outside the main hall already makes people's scalps tingle. With such a strong strength, the identity of the old man on the main throne is already about to be revealed-the creator and spreader of zombie disease a hundred years ago, the magician who studied forbidden necromancy, and the existence of a high-level and above.

After guessing the identity of the old man, Lianhua would not be stupid enough to enter the main hall again, and there was no difference between entering the main hall and actively seeking death. Although he did not go in, one thing was certain, the old man was very weak, and this was a very valuable discovery. With this discovery, Lianhua didn't stay long, tiptoed around the main hall, passed between the two guards standing guard, walked into the corridor on the side, and headed deeper into the city lord's mansion. The inner courtyard is the same as the front yard, there are government soldiers standing guard and patrolling, but the patrol of the government soldiers has changed, from the original one team to three teams, and the invisible Lianhua easily passes through, and there is nothing special in the inner courtyard. Just as Lianhua was about to continue to explore further, a figure suddenly appeared in the inner courtyard, and it could be seen from the back that it should be a woman but a young woman. "Chase away Ryder's woman!" This clue is also very crucial, Lianhua has to follow, because she doesn't know the strength of this woman, just in case Lianhua doesn't follow very closely.

The woman skillfully shuttled through the city lord's mansion, going deeper and deeper, and finally entered a basement. There are nearly 20 government soldiers standing guard outside the basement, and there are as many as 5 teams of government soldiers patrolling, looking at such a garrison, "This basement is not simple!" Although thinking like this, Lianhua did not plan to go down now, it was too risky to go down now, and there were too many unknown things.

Lianhua bypassed the soldiers and lay down on the other side of the basement entrance, waiting patiently.

Time passed bit by bit, Lianhua's fighting spirit was also consuming bit by bit, and the consumption of fighting energy to maintain the state of "Shadow Curtain" was already very large, and Lianhua's face could no longer tell whether it was sweat or rain, but even in this situation, Lianhua showed enough patience.

"Ahh "There are still living people?" Just when Lianhua thought so, the woman walked out of the basement, but when she went in, she was alone, and now when she came out, she was followed by 2 people, and she could only see the backs of 2 people from the angle of Lianhua's stomach, and it can be seen from the back that these 2 people are more than 2 meters tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a strong and rugged body. "What is this?" Just looking from the back made Lianhua feel a dangerous aura.
