Chapter 25 The Real Reason
"Dark, wide, dry, wet, dirty, clean, dangerous?" Passion was still the unchanging expression of the unchanging years, repeating the keywords Katherine said: "Was that person said these keywords?"
"There are only these." Catherine nodded and said, "The problem is inconsistent, and it is really difficult to understand."
"Not difficult." Passion saves language like Katherine saves money: "I understand."
"Well, with his prophecy, I roughly know where it refers to." Indulgently said, "I didn't expect to have a relationship with it, which was really unexpected."
"You guys thought of it?" Vivian asked in surprise: "My elder sister and I studied it for a while but couldn't figure out what it was referring to. You actually understood it as soon as we heard it?"
"That's because you don't know some secrets." Indulgence bit his index finger gently and tilted his head, saying, "The existence there is a secret for the City of Innocence, and it's normal for you to think of it."
"What should I do later?" Catherine asked, "Are you going to explore the dark alley as planned? Or will you give up the dark alley and go directly to where the prophecy refers to?"
"You can't pin your hopes on illusory prophecies." Indulgence is rare to be serious: "We will accompany you to investigate tonight, but from tomorrow on both of you will depend on yourself."
"Yeah? Why?" Catherine asked incomprehensiblely: "You two have something to leave?"
"No... forget it, let's tell you the truth." Huan and passion hugged each other gently, and the exchange of opinions was completed in the moment of hugging. Huan said, "Do you know why the guild wants you to come?"
"Of course I don't know." Catherine said with a lip slander: "The reasons I gave us before were only to deceive the children, but I know you must have a reason to say."
"You dare to come if you don't know anything." Wan Yan was helpless at Catherine's answer. He sighed and said, "Would I praise you or scold you?"
"We had a very pleasant deal before, and Miss Hot had a very pleasant relationship with Panis before. You have no reason to harm us." Catherine replied naturally: "And, Panis and I have discussed it. I believe that with his eyes, if you have any abnormalities, he will not be unable to see it. Since he also thinks it is okay, why don't I dare to come?"
"Don't believe in the Shadow Hands, there are no good people here, including us." The passionate and rigid face changed for the first time. He smiled bitterly, and said more than usual: "But there is indeed no malice this time."
"Let me say it." Wan Zong took over the topic and said, "I'm asking you to come because there may be a traitor in the hands of the shadow. In fact, the sacrifice happened in two times. The first time was more than three months ago, just after I returned from the crying cave. That time, the sacrifice occurred throughout the city, which did cause a lot of commotion. The two of us were responsible for the investigation. We tried our best to search and reconnaissance, but it seemed that someone knew our movements very well and reported them to them at all times.
Let me, there were several times when we almost touched each other's shadow, but they always slipped away. But in the end we still gained some knowledge and followed the clues to find a large organization in the city. Their leaders colluded with the cults who sacrificed the sacrifice. Although we destroyed this organization, the group of cultists had long disappeared, and those who knew their specific situation had been silenced. Fortunately, no other sacrifice incidents have occurred since then, and I and Jueqing were relieved."
"It must have deteriorated again," Catherine asked, "Otherwise, I won't come to us."
"You guessed it is very correct. I mentioned in the morning that in the first half of the New Year, by chance, our people found the corpse left behind in the dark alley area when they sacrificed again." He said with a solemn expression: "And judge the death time from the corpse. It must have been after the last sacrifice incident, not the corpse that was left out by us during the last sacrifice. After receiving the report, we took our direct subordinates to search the entire dark alley area according to the search and found new traces of sacrifice. If we traced it again, we will inevitably use the power of the Shadow Hand. Due to the lesson last time, we were worried that we would repeat the failure of the last time and the actions were destroyed by the traitor, so we simply concealed this secret and asked you to investigate it secretly. The traitor is very keen. I am afraid that if we act abnormally, it will make the insider alert, so we must keep normal every day from tomorrow and appear as much as possible in the eyes of the guild people to paralyze the traitor's vigilance once."
"I understand." Catherine nodded and pondered: "In other words, from tomorrow, we will be in a completely unfamiliar and disorderly city, and try not to disturb anyone, to find clues that do not know whether there is, and then to pull out enemies who have no known information at all? That's what you mean."
"Hehe." Indulge made a very embarrassed expression, cast a charming look at Catherine, and said in a coquettish tone: "Don't make things so ugly, it makes people feel embarrassed."
Catherine and Vivian felt a chill rising from their backs, and shook their heads hard to make their confused mind clear, and said reluctantly: "I know, please don't make such expressions anymore, it's so disgusting."
"I know this is difficult." Indulgence became serious again: "But as thieves in the hands of the shadow, they don't believe that anyone has become our instinct, so when we encounter problems, we really can't find anyone else to help us. We can only pin our hopes on you whom we trust relatively. I hope you can help us solve this problem. I promise that as long as you do your best, no matter what the result is, you will gain eternal friendship."
"Who said just now that he could not believe the promise of the person in the Shadow Hand?" Catherine asked pretended to be naive: "Especially, it is important to include them?"
"She said." Indulgence betrayed his enthusiasm without hesitation: "I haven't said it, so I can still believe it."
"Huh." Catherine had no choice but to indulge in the behavior of indulging in a way that was not jealous of the dignity of the strong, so she could only say unhappily: "I understand. I promise you that you will do your best to investigate, but I will make it in advance. First, I don't guarantee it. Second, if you encounter a danger that will endanger the lives of my team members, I will give priority to life. Third, I can't guarantee it in time. In fact, I hope to investigate it after Panis comes, but seeing that you are very urgent, you should start a preliminary investigation immediately."
"Very reasonable." He nodded coldly and said, "We accept it."
"Then let's go." Catherine grabbed the prepared black cloak and put it on her body, covering up the light of the silver scales: "However, if we investigate from tomorrow, I hope to find two helpers."
"Are you maids?" Wan Xiang said without surprise: "I have investigated them, there is no problem with their resume, and they are from dark alleys, so the environment is quite familiar. If you don't dislike them being not professionals but just ordinary people, I have no objection to bringing them with me."
"No hurry, today's purpose is to go and see the scene first." Vivian said for Catherine, who was fighting with the cloak: "The formal investigation will not start tomorrow, and it will not be too late to bring them with you."
"By the way, I want to ask you something." Catherine finally put on her cloak and suddenly remembered something, but after saying half of her words, she stopped with some scruples: "Forget it, let's talk about it after the matter is done. It's too early to ask."
"Tell me generously if you have anything." Wanchan suddenly approached, raised Catherine's chin, and said teasingly: "We are all in this relationship, what else can't be said directly? And I won't agree to it after I say it. What's there to worry about?"
"Hey, why don't I know what's going on with us?" Catherine widened her eyes and said angrily, "And what's going on if she said it and didn't agree."
"Haha, just be a little joke." The indulgent and talking eyes blinked at Catherine, showing her white teeth and smiled: "You can ask anytime when you want to ask, I'm not in a hurry. Let's leave separately, I and I will go outside and wait for you first."
Unlike the afternoon trip, this time, Catherine and Vivian did not call Swin, nor did they alarm the maid and the sisters of Flowers and Grass. They quietly left their room and hid in their cloak and walked outside the hotel. Originally, Catherine was still worried about whether her mysterious departure in her cloak would attract attention, but as soon as she went on the street, she found that her worries were really unnecessary.
The scene outside is very different from the morning. In the morning, the City of Innocence was deserted, and even on the main road it took a long time to see a figure. The main road was still the same, but the scene after night still scared them. After night, the City of Innocence was caught in a hustle and bustle with the memorial hall. As soon as they walked out of the hotel, the two saw many people walking through the small street in front of the hotel, many of them wore the same cloak as the two girls, covering their true identities. Just as indulge in the inn, the night was the beginning of the day in the City of Innocence.
The people on the street have different destinations, but everyone has a look of expectation on their faces, as if they have infinite yearning for their own destination.
"How is it, I'm right." Indulgence and enthusiasm began, but they had already put on a cloak with one-piece body. Indulgence pointed to the lively street and said, "This is the real sinless city. It's pretty good here. You'll know when you get to the main road. In comparison, there is more spectacular. On the twenty-meter-wide road, the carriages are connected into a line, and sometimes even block the entire road. The vehicles can only crawl forward slowly, which is very interesting."
