While Xu Baigan was scrolling through the progress bar, in one of the medicine stores on a gorgeous street in Fallen Phoenix City, a servant dressed in linen clothes was helping customers get medicine.
The shopkeeper was sitting in front of the counter, collecting the silver and laughing happily.
This was just like an ordinary medicine shop. There was nothing unusual about it. However, after a customer paid the bill and left, the manager of the medicine shop suddenly changed his expression.
The smile on his face disappeared, and the corners of his mouth turned from upward to downward. His face was cold.
“Goudan, you stay here and watch. I have something to do.”The innkeeper instructed the servant, lifted the curtain that led to the back, and walked towards the backyard.
The servant replied. Although he was busier now, he could still handle it.
After the shopkeeper entered the backyard, he went straight to a room. He quickly pushed open the door and walked in.
The room was empty. Other than some essential furniture, everything seemed unusually simple.
At this moment, there were three to five people sitting in the room.
These people were dressed very ordinarily and looked no different from ordinary people.
“Number 2950 is dead.”The shopkeeper said indifferently.
After saying this, everyone’s expressions changed and they stood up abruptly.
“Who killed him?”
“I don’t know.” “Where’s Zhang De?” The shopkeeper shook his head.”
The people present looked at each other, and one of them stood up.
“He went out to patrol the streets. He should be back soon.”
The shopkeeper nodded.” Then let’s wait for him. There’s a problem with the spy’s plan. We need him, a Qi Seeker, to see who did it. Yun Liu, pay attention to the other spies. You must be careful.””
Yun Liu, who was the first to speak, nodded after hearing this.”Don’t worry, I’ll immediately inform all the spies we’re responsible for. However, 2950 doesn’t seem to be under our complete control yet.”
“No, I haven’t.” The shopkeeper shook his head and said,” She has only entered the first stage and is gradually eroded by desire. Only when she is eroded to the extreme can she be controlled by us. Unfortunately, this spy’s family is very rich and beautiful. If we can control her, she might be able to enter a certain level in Great Chu.”
“Should we kill him immediately if we discover him?” asked Yun Liu.”
“The person died in Fallen Phoenix City. If this person has any talent, perhaps we can recruit him.”The shopkeeper said,”After all, it’s not easy for us to nurture a spy. Let him fill in the gap. If he doesn’t agree, don’t blame us for being ruthless.””
The Dark Tower was a special organization of the Great Yue State, similar to the Heaven Inspectorate.
The shopkeeper was very frustrated. The spy plan had always been a plan that they had put in a lot of effort into.
The profession of a music seeker was indeed strange, but they would not let themselves be controlled by desire. However, this profession had been changed by them.
Through step-by-step temptation, their desires would overcome their rationality, and they would have a way to control their desires.
In fact, this plan was only recently developed. Not long ago, it had been controlled by poison, but poison control might encounter those with strong personalities.
Moreover, the spy plan was selected from ordinary people. The music seeker could not only give ordinary people the ability to do business, but also control them. It was the best of both worlds.
Now that something had happened, as the person in charge of the Dark Tower’s Fallen Phoenix City branch, the shopkeeper felt a lot of pressure.
Don’t underestimate the fact that they only lost a music seeker, but if someone followed the clues and found out, they would probably become the sinner of the entire Dark Tower.
Therefore, he had to find the person who killed the music seeker and see what the situation was.
He could either absorb it into the Dark Tower and control it with poison, or kill it directly.
“Let’s wait. When Yun Liu comes back, we’ll use the Qi Observing Technique to check.”the shopkeeper said slowly.
“Yes, sir!” Everyone hurriedly nodded and agreed.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, night fell.
Xu Bai had changed his appearance a long time ago. At this moment, he rubbed his sore eyes and put the book in his arms.
The progress bar was still quite rewarding. It wouldn’t be long before the progress bar was full.
Due to the progress bar, he forgot to close the window.
The bright moonlight shone through the window and onto the ground, revealing a snow-white patch.
Xu Bai got up from the bed and went to the window. He was about to close the window and rest early.
However, before he could touch the edge of the window, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
At this moment, the street was dark. There was no one coming or going. Other than a few night watchmen passing by, it was quiet.
However, just because it was quiet did not mean that there was nothing else.
Xu Bai’s gaze fell on the other side of the street. There was also a tall building there, and on the roof, there were a few people dressed in ordinary clothes standing.
These people were dressed in ordinary clothes, but their auras were not ordinary at all.
The person in the lead seemed to be middle-aged. Although he was standing on the roof, Xu Bai could tell that he was slowly floating in the air. Due to the night, he looked like he was standing.
Mortal evolution state!
