Me? The director of the Asylum of All Heavens!

Chapter 13 Surveillance and Counter-surveillance
"I feel like someone is looking at me. That look is so annoying. Don't let me know who it is, or I'll dig their eyes out and shove them up their ass." Harley Quinn said angrily.

"What's going on? Are we exposed?" Lin Zizhi asked in confusion.

"I am very confident in my disguise skills. They will never be able to recognize us just by comparing our faces on the wanted poster." Lloyd Foldger said with a frown.

"It should be that I was too graceful when eating the fish fillet just now, which exposed my disguised identity as an upper city noble. I'm sorry, I was careless."

This is the problem with lack of intelligence. Lloyd Folger, who has just arrived here, has no time to collect intelligence.

He didn't understand the plot and had no idea that yesterday's explosion would deepen the martial law in Piltover, completely blocking traffic between the upper and lower cities.

At this time, his disguised identity of Shangcheng had a huge logical loophole. Theoretically, people from Shangcheng could not come here at all.

"Wait, let's go to that alley first." Lloyd Folger said as he quickened his pace and turned in another direction.

Seeing this, several seemingly ordinary vendors stopped pretending and quickly followed.

Harley Quinn doesn't care about Lloyd's mistakes, she has great confidence in the abilities of this super spy.

She turned to the previous topic curiously and asked, "Is the Hilco you were talking about just now the gangster boss who is wanted by us?"

"Yes, he is not a good person, but he is also a bad person with ideals and principles." Lin Zizhi replied hurriedly.

"Could he be the mentally ill person we are looking for?"

"No, the person we are looking for is his adopted daughter, Jinx. Jinx has typical symptoms of schizophrenia, hallucinations, delusions, aggression and violence, suicide, and she may also suffer from schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, or attachment personality disorder, etc." Lin Zizhi said while running and eating a sandwich.

"The problem is that the current plot has deviated from the original direction, and I'm not quite sure where to find her." Lin Zizhi did not forget to take a few sips of his drink.

No matter how nervous he is, he must not forget to eat. He doesn't want to change his personality and lose his memory because of hunger.

Suddenly Lloyd Folger in front stopped.

They suddenly realized that they were in a dead end, and the vendors chasing them were already close at hand.

……

At this time, three guys dressed as Zaun merchants saw Lin Zizhi and the other two disappearing in the alley around the corner and quickened their pace.

"Are you sure it's those three? They don't seem to be on the wanted list." asked one of the women, wearing a beret and with eyebrow, nose and lip studs.

"In Zaun, the pretentiousness of the noble lords in the upper city is not common. It's the same as what those guys who escaped from the garbage dump said. And I've seen that woman too. She's Singed's new female assistant. There's intelligence that the wanted person escaped from Singed's laboratory. She must know something." The one-eyed man with an eyepatch and a pigtail sneered.

"Hey, wait, she's much crazier than Jinx. Before, someone saw her as a stranger and wanted to cause trouble, but she broke three of the people's legs and hung them upside down on the dock. The upper half of their faces were painted black, and the lower half was painted with a weird red-lipped smile, looking like an evil masked clown crawling out of hell. She knows how to establish her authority and survive in a chaotic place. I think she should be from Bilgewater. Do you really want to cause trouble for her?" The woman in the beret said a little worriedly.

"Whether it's them or not, there's no shortage of money to be made from the nobles of the upper city. There's a dead end ahead, and they can't run away."

Finally, a guy wearing a white shirt, a sleeveless jacket, an alchemical prosthetic leg and a shifty look interrupted their argument.

"Don't be impulsive. Boss Finn said that you should be polite when you meet them and ask if they are willing to cooperate first." The lady in the beret was still worried and reminded them.

However, when they followed the dead end, they found it empty except for two dumpsters.

"Where are the people?" the one-eyed man said angrily.

What they didn't notice was that as they walked deeper into the alley, three shadows were cast from above, covering them.

Suddenly a drink cup full of ice cubes hit the one-eyed man on the head.

Lin Zizhi and the other two who were hanging high in the air on the wall of the alley jumped down from the wall one after another, blocking them in the alley.

"It's game time, come and meet the beast from your nightmares!" Harley Quinn swung her baseball bat with a straw in her mouth and a wicked smile.

……

At this time, a small boat was crossing the river between Zaun and Piltover, and the guards stopped the boat as usual.

"Senator Heimerdinger!"

Seeing that it was Heimerdinger who was driving the boat, everyone saluted.

"I'm no longer a councillor. I just went to Boreal to relax. Don't worry about me and continue working." Heimerdinger smiled and waved his hand.

"Yes! Heimerdinger... Professor!"

The law enforcers turned their eyes away, and no one thought to check Heimerdinger's boat.

Unbeknownst to them, Heimerdinger's boat actually had two stowaways hidden under a heavy tarp. The sight of a small boat crossing the river in plain sight of the law enforcers caught the attention of some gang members on the Zaun docks.

At this time, a gangster wearing cheap smoky makeup threw away the cards in his hand, picked up a telescope and observed the small boat floating on the river.

"Hey! You can't afford to lose!"

The guys who were playing cards with him cursed.

"Stop talking nonsense. Someone has sneaked across the river! I want to see who is so powerful that he can cross the river under the eyes of the law enforcement officer."

Now is a critical period of martial law in Piltover. The cross-river bridge is closed to traffic, and the smuggling business of the gangs is very difficult.

If we could find out how the other party crosses the river, perhaps we could reopen the channel for smuggling trade.

Thinking of this, the gang members stood up and looked at the small boat on the other side, only to find that the one driving the boat was Heimerdinger.

There's nothing to see there. The congressman's connections are not something these gangsters can imitate.

"Never mind, just play cards! You lose that game!"

"Why? I have a good hand!"

"If you throw them all away, who knows what cards you have!"

……

In a huge trash can, two men who were stripped naked except for their underwear were stacked together by Lin Zizhi and Lloyd Foger.

Even the one-eyed man's eye patch was taken off.

Harley Quinn carried the last unconscious woman and took off her beret.

"I'll gladly accept the beret. As for the clothes, forget it. I bought them in Zaun anyway. A lady should have some privileges to maintain her dignity."

Harley said as she threw the woman into another dumpster and clapped her hands.

"Sorry, it was my negligence this time." Lloyd Folger said with some self-blame.

Lin Zizhi patted the dust off his hands and consoled them, "There is also good news. Based on their confessions, we have determined that most of the guys targeting us are subordinates of the Alchemist Baron Finn. Hilco, who actually issued the bounty, doesn't care that much about our whereabouts."

Lloyd Fold said as he changed into Cyclops's clothes: "What Hilco really wants to find is Jinx. Last night, he saw Jinx being taken away by Ike, so it's reasonable that Wildfire's Ike's bounty is prioritized ahead of us."

He was still struggling with his mistake.

'Did I really choose to disguise myself as an upper city noble just to save trouble? Or was it because this identity was most similar to Lloyd Folger's identity as a parent of a noble academy?'

"So I still can't give up the happiness brought by the identity of Lloyd Folger? Shouldn't my desire for such things be destroyed along with my identity certificate the day I become a spy?"

Lloyd Foldger frowned, thinking while looking at the faces of the three people in the trash can and pinching new human skin masks.

Lin Zizhi looked at the three people lying in the trash can and said with some confusion:

"This Finn is also very strange. His men initially came to us simply to earn the bounty from Hilco, and they did it secretly without telling Finn. But now Finn has no idea what's wrong with him, and he has his men looking for us in a big way. From what they say, does Finn want to talk to us?"

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Finn wants to pull us on board to fight against Hilco together, but I don't know if he has the ability to do so." Harley Quinn said disdainfully.

She has been here the longest and has some understanding of some local gangs.

Finn is just the second generation who took over his ancestors' business, but he is the most ambitious guy among them and has always dreamed of replacing Hilco one day.

Everyone knows the heart of Sima Zhao.

"Let's talk about contacting Finn later. Our first priority now is how to find Jinx."

Lin Zizhi had read the plot and didn't have a good impression of Finn, so he didn't want to waste his time on him.

"There's nothing we can do. We still lack intelligence and information. Maybe Mr. Lin can provide us with some clues?"

Lloyd Foldger stopped hesitating. He put on a new human skin mask, a one-eyed dragon's eye patch, and tied his hair into a braid. He immediately changed his temperament and adopted the unique ruffian style of Zaun.

As he spoke, he handed the other two human skin masks to Jinx and Lin Zizhi.

Lin Zizhi took the mask, thought for a moment and said, "Being familiar with the plot will indeed help us with our next move, but "The Battle of Two Cities" is a multi-line narrative story. Let me try to pick out some key points to tell you..."
