Chapter 445: Night in the business district
There are still more than twenty minutes before midnight.
Ronald and Heloise quietly opened the door and left the boarding house where they lived.
The investigators who were originally responsible for monitoring Ronald have withdrawn due to Elaine's appearance. But today's situation is special. The investigator who took over the job, Elaine, is temporarily absent due to work.
Therefore, it is rare for the two of them to be in a situation where there is no surveillance at all by the Investigation Bureau.
The commercial area is geographically connected to the riverfront area.
Ronald took Heloise as they walked towards the Vis River, talking and laughing like a young couple walking in the middle of the night.
In the riverside area during this time, there was basically no trace of people nearby.
There was only a moored boat on the Vis River accompanying the two of them.
As they walked along the Weiss River comfortably, until they approached the business district, there were more signs of citizen activities in Springs.
This is, after all, the business district of Springs.
As the economic hub of the country of Greed, their work will not be affected by changes in day and night. Every minute and every second is an important moment when people in the business district need to devote all their energy.
"Ronald, do you think those guys chose the target intentionally by placing the ceremony in the middle of the business district?" As they walked on the road, Heloise suddenly asked Ronald a question.
Ronald thought for a moment, and then gave his own idea:
"When Elaine interrogated the guy before and confessed, they were obviously planning to cause a big event in Springs, and now they have placed the ceremony center in the business district like this I'm afraid it's a place with a lot of people to facilitate the implementation of the plan, right?"
Faced with the answer given by Ronald.
The smile on Heloise's face did not diminish, but her seriousness when answering was obviously more serious:
"Ronald, I know that you managed a cult warlock's activity in Berenwich, but this also led to your committing a crime. A habitual error in thinking. This is a cult warlock, not a mysterious magician with normal brain circuits!" "I have actually
mentioned before that you must not follow normal thinking when fighting or dealing with these cult warlocks. Speculate their purpose. Judging from the fact that they chose the commercial district as the center of the ceremony, they may not have any purpose at all, but simply think that this place is interesting!" "..." "Is that
okay
? "
That's it, the cult warlock!" As
they gradually entered the brightly lit environment of the business district, Ronald and Heloise's discussion gradually became lowered. Coming to a densely populated area, it is obviously no longer appropriate to continue discussing the previous issues.
And this change.
It also means that their exploration will officially begin tonight.
Because it was an issue related to the mysterious side and the cult warlock, Ronald and his team's action plan was also very clear. Heloise used the means she was good at to detect the magic fluctuations around her.
And Ronald quietly summoned the black mist with the power of 'wrath'.
With a wide range of emotional awareness, try to identify the unsociable group of people in the business district.
Starting from the northeast corner of the business district, a man and a woman walked slowly on the street. There were also Springs citizens who were busy working around them and noticed them, but no one came to disturb them because of their important work.
Walking on this street at night.
Heloise even couldn't help but sigh:
"On a night like this, perhaps only Springs can see it."
Ronald on the side smiled knowingly:
"If society continues as it is now, If the development continues, I think this kind of scene may become a very common situation in the future, and prosperity will spread to many corners of the civilized world." "
Is that so..."
Regarding some of Ronald's opinions, Hailoy Si has always been more convinced.
At this moment, listening to the description of the man next to her, her tone became emotional, and her eyes became a little subtle.
It seems to be accompanied by such a conversation.
She began to recall some of her past experiences, so that she inevitably began to feel something in her heart.
But this situation did not last long.
When they passed a third of the way through the business district, the two stopped together in perfect agreement.
"..."
They noticed something strange and looked at each other.
Ronald saw the confirmation in Heloise's eyes, and Heloise also saw the seriousness in Ronald's expression.
"You feel it too?"
"It's over there."
Almost at the same time, a three-story office building on the side of the road in the business district caught their attention.
With the help of the power of 'Rage', Ronald could clearly feel that something was wrong with the citizens in this building. Their mental and emotional state was in a psychedelic state that seemed like a dream but not a dream, and seemed to be awake but not awake.
In Heloise's eyes, things were very simple.
Although in the eyes of ordinary spellcasters, the magic power fluctuations in that building are probably just normal defensive spells, according to the special method Heloise mastered, she can detect the closed loop formed in the magic power flow near the office building. .
This closed-loop phenomenon of magic power means that after someone mobilizes magic power to achieve a goal, he then uses exquisite means to continuously export magic power to maintain the balance of the region. Generally, only very sophisticated magic circles or rituals can do this.
It would be a bit too wasteful to use it on such a mediocre office building.
Reference to Ronald and Heloise's purpose here.
This three-story office building is obviously the first suspicious target tonight.
"The people over there are not in the right state."
"The operation of magic power is also strange."
"The location is at the center of the rune, which is doubtful."
"..."
The two exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then walked to the corner of the business district in tacit understanding. Walk in the dark.
Both Ronald and Heloise have extremely exaggerated physical qualities, and the choices they are making will naturally highlight this advantage.
When they came to a dark corner where no one was paying attention, they climbed up the wall one by one, and jumped up continuously with the help of left and right. In the blink of an eye, they all climbed up to the roof of the building.
Phew -
at this time, a cold wind blowing from the west passed through the corners of their clothes.
Feeling the coolness that was different from the heat of the day in Springs, Heloise looked back and forth towards the three-story office building, and then confirmed the best route.
"The windows on the west side of the second floor of that kind of building are open. They are not along the street and there are no street lights. We can sneak in from there without alerting anyone." Follow Heloise's white fingers to confirm the location
.
Ronald nodded to express his understanding, and then jumped to the opposite side:
"Okay, let's set off."
"Everything from now on will put safety first."
