"So, that evil spirit is cooperating with Adrian, which means that the traitor in the Adventurers' Guild will also protect him. Since Perry went to inform the Adventurers' Guild, it's possible that he's alerted them."

"I can assure you that Perry won't tell anyone. He'd rather claim responsibility for everything himself than let us get into his hands and be held a grudge against us." Logan was quite confident about this.

Then, with a glimmer of hope, he added, "Perhaps once those guys realize their plans have been exposed, they'll abandon them temporarily and run off to hide somewhere else, allowing us to have some peace and quiet for a while..."

This was a safe and simple approach, avoiding direct conflict. Logan preferred this method, so he didn't try to dissuade Perry too much. Previously, he wouldn't have realized he was doing anything wrong; it was only because his companion was Chroya that he began to wonder what Chroya would do.

Kroya would never do that...

"But I'd rather nip it in the bud. Once that evil spirit swaggers into the city, I'll get rid of it with the two priests," Kroya added unconsciously. "After all, they're out in the wild; who knows if they'll do something bad or go and wreak havoc elsewhere."

"My mistake..." Logan then defended himself, "But you can't persuade Perry. Even if you tell him outright that there's a mole in the Adventurers' Guild, he'll probably think you're trying to fool him and steal his credit. I shouldn't have chosen him..."

"Then let's not dwell on these things, Logan. You've already helped me a lot. Let's just wait and see."

"Besides, we might be able to use this opportunity to expose the mole, which is not bad. My previous idea could not achieve this."

After saying this, Kroya returned to Lillian's place, vowing that if that dog dared to come back, it would never return.

......

"Danger......"

Perry stepped through the doors of the Adventurers' Guild, remembering what Logan had told him before he left.

Recently, rumors about a mole have indeed been circulating within the Adventurers' Guild. Perry had heard some of them, and although he didn't take them seriously, he did remember some of them.

After Logan reported the information, the Adventurers' Guild did launch a secret investigation to find the hidden mole. However, apart from Logan, the other investigators, and the upper echelons of the Adventurers' Guild, no one knew about it.

"Playing tricks."

Perry shook his head. In the end, those rumors were just gossip pieced together by busybodies using recent accidents as fodder for conversation, and he didn't believe them.

Furthermore, Logan's words are inherently unreliable; after all, he doesn't like me, so what valuable things could he possibly say to me?

As if in a fit of pique, Perry strode up the stairs and headed toward the room where the superiors of the many secret agents were located. He stopped in front of a door, straightened his clothes, and then knocked on the door.

"Oh, it's Perry. I thought you were on vacation right now."

A tall, thin man with meticulously combed hair, wearing monocles, pushed open the door. His eyes were narrowed, and he wore a friendly smile. His name was written on a nameplate with a gold-rimmed border on his chest—Hawk.

"I have important news to report!"

Perry said loudly, and Hawke ushered him in and closed the door behind him.

Perry recounted in great detail to Hawke his observations and experiences while tracking the evil spirit, and Hawke listened to his report with a smile, nodding slightly from time to time.

"Did you find out this information on your own?"

"That's right," Perry said confidently.

There is a contract among the members of the Adventurers' Guild that prohibits them from lying when reporting information. However, this contract has a loophole—although they cannot lie, some things can be omitted. Logan omitted a lot of things when he reported.

"Did no one help you throughout the whole process?"

"That's right, I did it all by myself."

  

Hawke then asked a few more questions, in which Perry cleverly concealed Logan's presence.

"it is good."

Hawke sighed.

"You did a great job."

This is a definite statement, there's no mistake!

Perry could almost see wealth beckoning him; the Adventurers' Guild was known for its generosity...

This was not an illusion; in fact, a pair of hands reached out to him.

"..."

Hawke snapped Perry's neck, and Hawke, holding Perry's body, moved him silently while saying calmly:

"I'll apply for a generous reward for you, but are you sure there's only one evil spirit and one vampire there?"

Hawke's hand sliced ​​open Perry's back as if gliding through butter, then he reached inside. In an instant, Perry's long-dimmed eyes lit up, and the goblin came alive with energy. He uttered a sound:

"I'm not so sure about that."

"Then you'll have to make do for a bit," Hawke said, as if manipulating a puppet, "After all, the enemy is an organization, and we need to understand the situation better before we can act. Of course, we won't let you take the risk for nothing; the reward will be three times the original amount..."

"So, I have to go back there again, right?"

The sounds emanating from the corpse were exactly the same as those Perry made in life, but they were chilling to hear. His heartbeat continued in a bizarre way, thus avoiding detection by any magic.

"That's right..."

Hawke answered leisurely.

After that, Hawke resumed his work. He gently placed the goblin's corpse on the ground. The wounds seemed to have frozen and no blood was flowing. Hawke took out a pen and wrote on a piece of paper.

"You idiots!"

"You've only been here two days and you've already been discovered! What are you good for?!"

"You think it's easy for me to infiltrate the Adventurers' Guild?"

"Because of you, Adrian, you let that goblin escape and didn't even tell me in time, which made me a suspect, and my room is now filled with magic that listens to my voice..."

"Now, you want me to clean up your mess again!"

He tore off the paper filled with complaints, gently and silently pasted it onto the goblin's body, then picked up another piece and began writing on it:

"Detective Perry reports: Traces of the vampire Adrian and an unknown evil spirit have been discovered in the Misty Forest. The exact location is as follows..."

Hawke wrote the information down truthfully. In the past, he could have tried to play some tricks, but now the Adventurers' Guild's supervision has become stricter, and he can only write things down as they are, otherwise his life will be in danger.

However, he can do some subtle tricks.

"Furthermore, it is suspected that the outsiders Lillian, Tiki, and Guise have ties to evil spirits, which are parasitizing their dogs..."

"Request to implement a capture plan for the outsiders Lillian, Tiki, and Gus..."
