He stretched out his hand, and the black cloak beside him was draped over the stern young man, covering his face and hiding everything.
"My Lord God, goodbye."
Turning around and walking into the living room, Bai Ke looked at Hestia who was still busy in the kitchen and didn't notice him at all, and said goodbye to her.
"Hey?"
The voice coming from beside her made Hestia subconsciously turn her head and look. She was stunned when she saw the man in black robe, but then she recognized the identity of the man in black robe based on his figure and the words he just said.
"Bai Ke, come on, are you silent when you walk? You suddenly made a sound and scared me!"
Coming back to her senses, Hestia couldn't help but complain.
"Lord God, I'm sorry."
Bai Ke said something apologetically, and then he repeated what he had said before:
"My Lord God, goodbye."
"Ah."
Hestia nodded, and then she reminded him again with some concern: "Bai Ke, remember to be careful in everything you do."
"I know, Lord God."
Bai Ke nodded in response, then without saying anything else, he turned and walked out the door.
After watching Bai Ke's figure disappear, Hestia withdrew her gaze and continued to wash the dishes and pots, but she was praying silently in her heart, hoping that Bai Ke would return safely.
Click~ The door opened and the street scenery outside came into view. Bai Ke walked out of the house without any hesitation.
This time, Bai Ke only planned to go alone and did not plan to take Lilyluka with him.
Today's training and the fighting in the afternoon were indeed too much for the girl, so much so that after she relaxed, she fell into a deep sleep.
Now, it’s better not to disturb the other person’s rest.
In this situation, it would be too inhumane to interrupt Lily's sleep and force her to wake up and continue to be his supporter.
So, Bai Ke refused this.
At this moment, because it was already evening, the sky was orange-red, dyeing the entire horizon red and splashing down below.
The people walking on the street at this moment were dyed orange under the setting sun, and their faces became a little blurred at this moment.
Even the whole city is dyed a different color under this sunset, giving people a different feeling.
At this moment, if you look down from the height of the Tower of Babel, you will definitely see a beautiful scene.
Although the sunset is beautiful, it will eventually disappear.
The beauty lasted only a moment.
The beautiful orange-red color took on a dim feeling as the sun gradually set. This strange color immediately destroyed the beauty of the sunset.
Instead, there was an eerie and spooky feeling.
This strange change at this point in time has different names in every country or nation in the world, but most of them carry ominous meanings.
At this moment, a figure was standing on the top floor of a clock tower, facing the dim setting sun.
The man was dressed in a black robe and had a tall stature. He looked very cold. Combined with the dim glow of the setting sun shining on him, it immediately gave the man a somewhat eerie and terrifying feeling.
At this moment, if a child came here and saw this figure, he would definitely be scared and burst into tears.
If an ordinary person suddenly saw this scene, he would still be scared to death under the rendering of the scenery.
Needless to say, the strange figure in black robe standing on the top floor of the clock tower was Bai Ke who had just left home.
Seven twenty-eight.
Taking out a pocket watch from his waist bag, Bai Ke stared at the numbers rotating on it and waited quietly.
Seven twenty-nine.
Time passed slowly, getting closer and closer to the originally agreed time, but there was no trace of the green figure, and no one knew whether he would come.
Seven-thirty.
Finally, the time came to the agreed point, but the green figure did not appear as promised.
Bai Ke's expression did not change at all. He raised his hand and put away the pocket watch. Then he turned around and looked back.
The next second, a green figure rushed up from the side of the bell tower. She quietly climbed over the railing and landed on the ground easily without making much noise.
Looking at the black-robed man who seemed to have been waiting for a long time on the top of the bell tower, Liu Liang recognized the other party's identity at a glance.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Seeing Bai Ke standing there, seemingly waiting for a while, Liu Liang said subconsciously.
"You don't need to apologize. I've only been here for a few minutes. I didn't wait too long."
Bai Ke waved his hand casually and said.
The two did not waste their saliva on this topic. Neither of them was the kind of person who would waste time and energy on such trivial matters.
Leave
one day.
I'll try to adjust the time again, but I don't know if I can adjust it back to the past. Sigh~ Sighjpg.
Make up the word count..................................................................................
Chapter 154: Clues
"Bai Ke, isn't Lily here?"
Seeing that Bai Ke was alone and the petite girl who used to follow him was no longer there, Liu Liang felt a little confused and asked casually.
"This afternoon, Lily exercised too much and fell asleep. She hasn't woken up yet, so I didn't disturb her and came here alone."
Hearing this, Bai Ke began to explain.
"I see."
Liu Liang nodded to show that he understood.
"Let's check and see which areas and locations we will each be responsible for investigating."
As Bai Ke spoke, he reached to his waist and took out something like a scroll from the belt buckle. Then he pulled it open.
A painting appeared before the two of them.
This painting is the map of the entire Orario.
There are many small circles on it, more than a dozen of them if you count them carefully. These are the intelligence bases provided and marked by Liu Liang and Lililuka, and are also where the two are going next.
"According to the previous plan, with north and south as the boundary, I will be responsible for the east part and you will be responsible for the west part. We will meet at the agreed place every hour to share information."
Bai Ke stepped forward, placed the map in his hand on the railing, then pointed to a place on the map and said.
"no problem."
Liu Liang responded. As for this matter that had already been discussed, she did not have any other thoughts because of the passage of time and gave a direct response.
"Well, before that, let's go to East Street first. I hope there will be clues about that person there. Otherwise, we can only rely on this stupid method."
Bai Ke turned his finger and stopped it on a red circle on East Street, then spoke.
From the beginning, it was under discussion.
The first plan was to go to the place where the person was met, conduct an investigation, and even ask or purchase intelligence from the intelligence dealers there.
As for counting the locations where these intelligence are sold, it is just a second backup plan. I plan to use this stupid method as a last resort.
"it is good."
Liu Liang nodded in agreement directly, just like before, without any opinions or suggestions.
Just when the two made a decision, the last ray of afterglow in the sky completely fell to the ground, and darkness enveloped the earth.
At this moment, the top of the clock tower was completely plunged into darkness. But below, the lights were bright, and colorful neon lights lit up on the streets.
Seeing that night had completely fallen, the two of them disappeared from the top of the clock tower in tacit understanding. Taking advantage of the convenience brought by the night, they walked silently in the shadows of the buildings, avoiding the attention of others while moving quickly towards their destination.
On East Street, a very hidden and deserted street with very few pedestrians, two figures walked into the street from an alley nearby.
Needless to say, the two figures with their faces covered by cloaks were Bai Ke and Liu Liang.
"There are not many people..."
As he walked into the street, Bai Ke whispered something.
Compared to the bustle of the last time I came here, this black market street is much quieter, with few pedestrians, and they walk in a hurry. You can tell at first glance that you don't want to stay any longer.
And everyone covered themselves tightly, as if they were afraid of being discovered. There was no one left who did not hide last time.
Most of the shops around had their doors closed, with no light at all. It was obvious that there was no one inside, and no one knew what the shop owners were doing.
"Yesterday's incident had a huge impact. This kind of dark place will definitely be affected. It is normal for it to become deserted."
Liu Liang, who was standing by, heard Bai Ke's murmur and answered casually.
"Ah."
Bai Ke responded. He naturally knew this truth, and his whisper was just a casual sigh, not a question.
However, these are not things he needs to worry about now. The closed doors of the surrounding shops made Bai Ke worry. Is the tavern from yesterday still open?
If it wasn't open, then the two of them would have made a wasted trip and would have to use the stupid method they had previously agreed upon to search for clues.
Of course, if this is the case, Bai Ke would still prefer to look for the whereabouts of the boss of this intelligence location first. Compared with the stupid method, the workload of this method is less and easier.
Thinking of this, Bai Ke's heart tightened. Then he didn't waste time here. He walked quickly towards one end of the street, and Liu Liang followed closely behind him.
It didn't take the two of them too long to cross the extremely deserted streets and reach their destination. A staircase extending downward appeared on one side of their field of vision.
Fortunately, it was not closed, I was lucky.
Coming to this familiar place, Bai Ke walked closer and looked at the faint light emanating from the bottom of the stairs. He thought with some relief in his heart.
"follow me."
Then, Bai Ke took the lead and walked downstairs, while Liu Liang, like before, followed quietly behind without any words or doubts.
Crunch~crunch~crunch….
Walking down the creaking wooden stairs that seemed like they would collapse at any time, a shabby wooden door with many cracks and a faint light shining out came into view.
This is also the light that I saw when I looked at it from above before.
Crunch!
Bai Ke walked forward and opened the door, and the scene in the tavern came into view.
Just like the deserted street outside, there were few people in this pub. It was extremely quiet, and the few people who were there were sighing with their heads down, obviously not in a very good mood.
These people just glanced at the two people who suddenly arrived, then looked away and continued to complain to their companions, venting their frustrations.
After Bai Ke looked around the tavern and didn't see the man, the idea of an accidental encounter was shattered, but he was not too depressed. After all, it was just a lucky idea, and it was normal that it didn't come true.
Walking straight to the counter, Bai Ke looked at the man in bartender's uniform with a sad face. A look of disappointment flashed in his eyes. There was no obvious peculiar smell on the bartender.
Based on his newfound ability to detect good and evil, Bai Ke determined that the bartender was not a heinous criminal based on the subtle smell on him.
After knowing this result, Bai Ke couldn't help feeling disappointed and could only give up some of the ideas in his mind.
Originally, Bai Ke was thinking that if the other party was guilty of a crime, and when questioned, if the other party said that he didn't know these things, he would just take action and force him to interrogate violently.
Now Bai Ke can only give up this idea. After all, he cannot beat innocent people at will. This is one of his bottom lines.
The bartender had no idea that he had just been lucky enough to escape a violent interrogation because he had done nothing wrong. This is really cause for celebration.
Bai Ke had all sorts of thoughts flashing through his mind. In just a moment, he had thought about so many issues. He suppressed his lost emotions and then spoke:
"Boss, I want to get some information."
"Guest, what information do you want to know? Although I may not have all the information about Orario, I definitely know it very comprehensively. I believe I can satisfy your curiosity."
Seeing the question from the stranger, the bartender suppressed the sadness on his face, forced a stiff smile, and asked.
"Yesterday, a skinny middle-aged man quietly told people around you that he had some top-quality goods and that they could be traded at a certain place. Do you have the identity information of this person?"
