Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 88 Reliable "Leader"

While the waiter was shouting, Odysseus chatted with Xio. When he learned that the enemy had followed Xio all the way here, he took out his pocket watch and checked the time: "It has been 32 minutes since I received the notification. The enemy's support should have arrived by now."

Odysseus analyzed, "I suspect the person following you is at least a Sequence 7. Now with their helpers, the two of us are definitely no match for them."

Xio was slightly stunned, and felt that the "leader"'s analysis was correct, and suddenly became a little worried.

While organizing his extraordinary weapon, Odysseus continued, "The reason why the other party didn't take action immediately is because they noticed that there were people from MI9 around.

"But according to MI8's practice, they will currently send at most one Sequence 9 and two Sequence s for surveillance.

"Together, we can barely escort you to MI9."

"MI9?" Xio felt somewhat resistant when he heard the name of this department.

Odysseus said, "Don't worry, I will go talk to them. They won't dare to do anything to you."

Then he warned: "Hide in the carriage for a while, don't come out to show off your strength, let the people from MI9 block the way first.

"They get a good pension when they die, but you don't."

Xio nodded immediately: "Oh."

From the "leader's" analysis, she could feel the "leader's" reliability, so she was willing to trust the "leader" completely and listen to whatever he said.

……

The waiter who received the order from the "leader" did not quite understand the "leader's" intention.

When the "leader" invited "them", he didn't know who he was inviting.

The waiter followed the leader's instructions and came to the alley on the left side of the door. It was empty, with no one in sight.

He cleared his throat and shouted, "'Chief', here is key information about Bruce!"

Apart from the barking of dogs in the distance, there was no movement around.

The waiter took a deep breath and was about to shout again when suddenly a hand reached out from behind and patted the waiter on the shoulder.

The waiter was startled and turned around to see a young man in his thirties standing behind him.

The other party's face was stern: "Where does the 'leader' have information about Bruce?"

The waiter swallowed and said, "Yes... yes, that's what the 'chief' said."

The other party asked again: "Where is the 'leader' now?"

"In the living room."

The man frowned: "When did you come?"

"Just now."

"Take me to him."

The waiter nodded. "Originally, the 'leader' also wanted you to come in and talk."

"We?" The young man couldn't help but look back at the entrance of No. 199 Hairun Avenue. He had always felt that their surveillance process was very secretive. When did the "leader" discover it?

Then he realized that the "leader" was a senior figure in the intelligence community and should have been guessed according to convention.

Thinking of this, he put his index finger in his mouth and blew a loud whistle.

A few seconds later, a man and a woman came out from the surrounding shops and houses.

The man in his thirties said loudly, "The 'chief' wants us to come in and talk."

Then, he took the lead and entered No. 199 Hairun Avenue.

The waiter following behind was extremely impressed with the "leader". After shouting in the alley, someone really answered, and it was indeed "them".

By this time, the "chief" was already sitting in the same place he had been at the party, with Hugh standing behind him like a young waiter.

"Please take a seat," Odysseus said with a smile. "Let's introduce ourselves first. This is Hugh Dilcha. It was she who obtained very important intelligence for MI9."

Odysseus knew very well that MI9 must attach great importance to Bruce's intelligence. Even if he was not the member responsible for this matter, he must have received a notice to collect relevant intelligence.

Three people from MI9 sat opposite Odysseus. Since the "leader" asked them to do so, they briefly introduced themselves. The man who had just patted the waiter's shoulder was called Cyril, and he was the leader of the three.

The other man and woman were about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and there was nothing impressive about their looks. The woman was called Leona and the man was called Gene.

Odysseus continued, "Let's talk about how to get the information to MI9 as quickly as possible."

Cyril still looked stern and said, "Can't we just ask Miss Diercha to tell us what she has told us?"

He paused and continued, "As for the payment, it will definitely not be delayed."

"It's not about the reward." Odysseus briefly recounted Xio's description and his own guess about the enemy, then said, "If anyone of you leaves here at this moment, you will be attacked immediately.

"We only have two options now. The first is for you to send out a distress signal, and we'll wait here for reinforcements.

“The second option is to send Dilcha to MI9.

"It's important to note that if you use the first method, the enemy will launch an offensive after you send the signal. We must be prepared to face an attack from at least five or six Beyonders, led by a Sequence 7.

"Although the second method seems dangerous, we are on the move, and they are also on the move, so it is difficult for the enemy to set an ambush in advance."

Cyril frowned: "You shouldn't have called all of us in!"

Otherwise, he could have kept one or two people in the dark. Odysseus smiled and said, "At this time, we must concentrate all our strength."

In fact, he wanted to tie the three people from MI9 to himself and Xio.

Cyril sighed and added, "We don't have much time."

Odysseus nodded in agreement. From the moment the MI9 men entered the room, the enemy commander should have been making a final decision: attack immediately, or wait for the right opportunity?

He smiled and said, "If you can't make up your mind, please drive your carriage here and we will go to MI9 immediately."

Cyril asked, "Mr. 'Chief,' do you think we should escort Miss Dilcha back to MI9?"

Odysseus nodded: "Yes."

If they were at Gar's Herb Shop or Odysseus's home, he would definitely suggest holding on, because Odysseus had made many arrangements in these two places that could fully withstand the attacks of several extraordinary people.

However, in order to prevent the members from noticing that the "leader" was proficient in magic circles, the gathering place of the Mysterious Research Society did not have any defensive arrangements or backdoors, and there was no way out at all.

In this case, it would be better to fight the enemy in motion. This was Backlund after all, and to avoid attracting demigods, the enemy didn't dare to launch too intense attacks on the streets.

Cyril pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Leader."

Then he said to Jean, "Go and drive the carriage."

"Yes." Gene stood up and walked out quickly.

Odysseus picked up the cloth bag containing the extraordinary weapons, walked to the wall in the direction of the door, hid behind the wall, and looked out through the glass of the door with his side face.

Seeing Gene driving the carriage over, he took out the metal crossbow and put a metal arrow on it: "Do you have guns?"

Cyril and Leona both pulled out a revolver and flipped the safety.

Odysseus said, "Follow me and rush out, pointing the gun towards one o'clock!"

After saying that, he rushed out first.

As they came out, Gene just stopped the carriage at the door.

Almost at the same time, two men rushed out of the shop opposite, drawing their guns as they ran towards this side.

For Odysseus and the others, their location was exactly one o'clock!

Before the two men raised their guns, Odysseus, who was well prepared, had already fired the metal crossbow, and the exquisite metal arrow hit one of the men in the heart.

Bang bang bang bang~
Cyril and Leona raised their guns faster than them. They each fired two shots, both hitting the target. The two enemies immediately fell in a pool of blood.

The sudden gunshots caused pedestrians around to scream and dodge, and the street suddenly became chaotic.

Odysseus smiled and said, "Good marksmanship."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, observed the situation around him, and motioned for Xio to get in the car first.

After the four people boarded the carriage one after another, Gene, who was sitting in the driver's seat, waved the reins and said, "Go!"

The two horses neighed and pulled the carriage forward quickly.

Inside the carriage, because of the victory in the first battle, although the four people were looking out the window carefully, they couldn't help but curl up the corners of their mouths slightly.

While staring outside, Xio asked, "Mr. 'Chief', how did you know there would be enemies in that direction?"

"It's very simple." Odysseus smiled and said, "Because that's the direction of the horses and the driver. If I were the enemy commander, after learning that the enemy is driving the carriage towards me, I would definitely arrange for people to kill the horses and the driver.

"If there really is such an arrangement, they can't attack from the direction of the carriage, right?"

Xio nodded slightly, feeling very impressed.

Cyril also said, "I've heard about Mr. 'Chief''s' wisdom for a long time, and today I know that there is indeed no falsehood in his words."

Odysseus smiled and said, "I guess you wouldn't describe me as clever, but rather 'cunning'?"

Cyril and Leona smiled slightly, neither explaining.

At this moment, Gene, who was driving, suddenly shouted, "Enemy attack! It's the Fire Crow!"

As he shouted, he pulled the reins hard, turning the carriage into an alley.

When turning a corner, Odysseus and others in the carriage saw from the window that a group of fire crows were flying rapidly towards the carriage.

After the carriage turned, the flock of fire crows also turned and caught up.

Although the two horses were running hard, the Fire Crow was faster than the horses.

Odysseus immediately stood up and broke the rear window of the carriage. When the Fire Crow was about to catch up with the carriage, he threw a blue axe to the back.

This axe was exactly the "Ice and Snow Bomb" he had used before. After hitting one of the fire crows, the axe immediately exploded with a slight "bang".

The area within four or five meters around the small explosion was immediately covered with a layer of frost, and even the fire crow was frozen.

Cyril was slightly surprised at the effect of the "leader's" weapon, and said coldly: "Arsonist!"

At this time, Gene in front reminded again: "The enemy is boarding the car! Ah..."

As he was shouting, gunshots were heard outside, and it was obvious that Gene was injured.
