Please be my partner.

After he finished cleaning up and returned to his room, he took out today's gains... [Ring of Swiftness].

[Ring of Swiftness] is actually not a bracelet, but more like a long bracelet. It looks like jade, but has good flexibility.

With the infusion of Mellen's spiritual power, it can be expanded and contracted to a certain extent.

When worn on the wrist, the [Ring of Swiftness] naturally shrank and became a perfect fit, leaving no gaps. Even if I moved a little, there was no discomfort.

As the [Ring of Swiftness] was put on, it was as if an invisible force field appeared around Mellen's body. He waved his arms but could not feel any wind resistance at all.

However, as Mellen swung his arms faster and faster, he gradually felt the resistance.

In other words, the [Ring of Swiftness] does not directly eliminate resistance, but weakens it to a certain extent through the force field.

After a few light jumps, the body weight is reduced by about 10%.

Don't underestimate this 10%. With this reduction, you can jump higher and run faster with the same strength.

Of course, if you have a strength-based job, this reduction in body weight may be a negative effect.

After all, weight itself is also a very important factor in the confrontation of power-based professions.

Melen withdrew his mental power, and the effect of [Ring of Swiftness] was immediately turned off, the force field disappeared, and the weight lost by the body was returned.

He nodded slightly, feeling pretty good. It didn't consume much mental energy when it was turned on, and he could turn it off at any time without affecting his daily exercise.

Although these 800 gold coins are a bit of a premium, it is worth it.

Chapter 98 Discovery and Alerting the Enemy

On the morning of July 7, the sky was clear and the air was fresh.

Mellen changed his appearance and jogged slowly towards the Special Affairs Bureau.

Spike shrunk his body to the size of an ordinary pug, and used [Hide Edge] to completely restrain his own aura, following Mellen closely.

Mellen talked a lot with Richman yesterday, including the working hours of the Special Affairs Bureau. These were not secrets, so the latter just talked about them casually.

Generally speaking, it is no different from the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters in Roland City, except for some deviations in details.

When he ran to the Special Affairs Bureau, it was just time for them to punch in for work.

Melen found a small shop nearby, ordered a hearty breakfast and started eating.

Privately, Spike used his keen nose to search for Isaiah's scent.

From a dog's perspective, these smells look like lines of varying shades, and it can even roughly tell how long they exist.

Soon, Spike could smell Isaiah's scent, but it was very faint, probably from yesterday.

Melen wasn't looking for these, so he just waited patiently.

After a while, he paused in his eating, glanced around, and saw the target of his trip... Isaiah.

The latter entered the Special Affairs Bureau like an ordinary member of the Special Affairs Bureau.

Mellen lowered his head, ate the food in big mouthfuls, then stood up, paid, and left.

It's just that the direction he was heading had quietly changed.

Following Spike's guidance, they continued forward and finally stopped in front of an apartment building.

Mellen asked, "Is this the place?"

Spike nodded slightly in confirmation.

That’s right, this is Isaiah’s home. Melen got up early and spent so much effort just to confirm this first.

However, he had no plans to go in and investigate right now. After all, the former was a member of the Special Affairs Bureau and was involved with a mysterious organization, so his vigilance should be quite high.

If you want to take action, it is best to wait for a good opportunity.

Next, Mellen continued the missing persons investigation from the previous few days.

In the busyness, several days passed in the blink of an eye.

July 7th, the night of the full moon.

Mellen specifically told Butler Morgan in advance that he would be back a little later today.

At this moment, he was in an empty alley in the lower city, quietly waiting for the resolution of [Final Trajectory].

He only used two bullets in this cycle, one was a test shot when he just got the [Final Track], and the other was when he got rid of the ghost life when he was wiping out the trafficking gang.

That is to say, when settling the trajectory, you only need to go to the lowest level. Logically, the probability of getting injured should be very low, only one in six.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that he will be unlucky enough to be killed by a single bullet, so in order to avoid the possible sound of gunfire attracting other people's attention, it is better to stay away from home at this time.

Time passed little by little, Melen looked at the full moon in the sky, feeling calm and waiting quietly.

He placed the [Final Track] in the [Blue Ring].

When the time reached midnight, Melen suddenly felt a mysterious aura enveloping him. At that moment, he seemed to be independent of the heaven and earth, isolated from the whole world. Everything became still, and he himself was also solidified in it, with only his thoughts moving.

Melen could even see scraps of paper blown by the breeze, frozen in mid-air.

He could clearly sense that in this state, his extraordinary powers had lost their effect, and he seemed to have turned back into an ordinary person.

The shadow of [Final Trajectory] appeared not far ahead, a bullet was loaded into it, and then the roulette wheel spun rapidly.

The next moment, Mellen felt the muzzle of the gun pointed at his thigh, and then...

"Crack!"

After the crisp sound of the firing pin, no bullet was fired, the shadow of [Final Trajectory] disappeared, and the stagnant world returned to normal.

The whole process seems extremely long, but it actually only lasts for a tiny moment.

After clearly feeling the trajectory settlement, Mellen also had a clear idea.

When I got home, I found that the lights in the house were still on.

When he opened the door, he saw Butler Morgan waiting for him to come home as usual.

7 month 16 day.

In the morning, Mellen changed his appearance again and passed by Isaiah's house on time.

But I didn't see the person who would go out to work at a fixed time.

His eyes lit up, and he dodged into an unnoticed alley and released Spike.

The dog's sense of smell revealed that Isaiah had actually gone out about an hour ago, and the direction he was going was not the Special Affairs Bureau.

Led by Gou Zi, Melen quickly followed.

On the way, Mellen also found traces of Isaiah deliberately staying at certain specific places, as if he was trying to counter-track him.

Unfortunately, Isaiah never imagined that someone would follow the smell and come here an hour after he left.

Downtown area.

Suddenly, Mellen paused slightly, then naturally walked into a cafe on the street and sat down at a random place.

Through the glass of the cafe, he looked at a residential building not far away, where Isaiah was now.

Spike also keenly sensed that several hidden lines of sight were sweeping out from different places in the residential building, covering all nearby areas almost without any blind spots.

While drinking coffee, Mellen was thinking about whether he should report this place and let the police and the Special Affairs Bureau help him investigate.

But after thinking about it, he temporarily put this plan aside. After all, there were too few clues at the moment, and he didn't even know what kind of organization Isaiah had joined.

After drinking his coffee, Mellen didn't stay for long and walked past the residential building like an ordinary passerby.

Spike transformed himself into a dirty stray dog, quietly lurking not far from the residential building, watching what was happening over there.

Anyway, the contract of the [Wolf Tamer] is much more special than the contract of the ordinary [Beast Tamer], and it will not be weakened even if they are far apart.

In the evening, after Mellen and Spike reunited, he asked seriously, "Is it confirmed?"

The dog grinned and nodded.

Mellen's mouth corners also curved up. He didn't expect that the flowers he planted with care did not bloom, but the willows he planted by accident grew into a shade.

Of course, this is not quite appropriate. After all, he initially found Isaiah through the disappearance incident.

At first, Spike was only monitoring Isaiah outside the residential building. Because there were surveillance cameras inside the building, the dog didn't dare to get too close.

Soon, someone came out of the residential building. The dog didn't care at first. It just wanted to guard its main target.

But when the man walked past not far from it, the dog smelled a familiar smell, which was a scent that made it remember deeply...'Swallowing Swamp'!

The man who walked out of the residential building was actually a polluter!

This polluter had obviously just been infected by the power of the 'Swallowing Swamp' and still retained a certain degree of sanity. His purpose in leaving the residential building was also very simple, which was... to go home.

After noting down the polluter's residence, Spike returned to the residential building again. However, no other polluters came out until Isaiah left in the evening.

Spike deliberately waited for half an hour before following the smell to track Isaiah. After confirming that the latter had returned home, he returned to reunite with Mellen.

In the next few days, following Isaiah and the exposed polluter, Mellen found more clues and discovered more traces of the polluter.

At the same time, Mellen also had a general idea of the residential building.

After being infected by the power of the Devouring Swamp, the polluters can only maintain their sanity for one or two years at most, after which they will completely turn into a walking corpse.

In this situation, they can no longer live a normal life and can only hide somewhere and wait for the orders of the invader.

This residential building is one of such strongholds.

It is conceivable that there must be invaders among them.

July 7, late.

Melen looked up at the sky and saw thick dark clouds covering the moon.

After several days of observation, he couldn't get any more clues. In this case, there was no point in continuing to wait, so he planned to take action today to really alarm the enemy and see if he could make some waves.

As the night deepened, the residents around had already fallen asleep. After all, they had to get up early to work tomorrow and didn't have much time for entertainment.

Mellen changed his appearance and put on a veil, with Spike and Xiao Honglian standing on his left and right.

Although the two dogs are quite recognizable, "Unparalleled Assassin" tells us that as long as all enemies are eliminated, it will be a perfect assassination!

Following Mellen's order, the two dogs turned into two streams of light and pounced on the residential building. This change immediately alerted the monitors in the building, who issued an alarm.

The two dogs didn't care and directly broke open a door, easily killing the polluter who tried to resist, and then rushed to the next target without stopping.

The huge noise immediately woke up many people who were sleeping, and Melen could also hear screams from many places.

However, no one dared to come out to see what was happening outside. At most, they could only observe the situation carefully through the window.

After all, this is not the safe country of the previous life. Once there is any disturbance, the first thing everyone thinks of is to come out and watch the excitement. They instinctively don’t think that any danger will happen.

This world is different. Often the price of watching the excitement is quite high. Sometimes, if you get too close, it can easily result in loss of life!

"Boom! ~"

Spike was like a ferocious beast. He swung his claw and the wall exploded. The polluter in the other room didn't even have time to react before he was riddled with holes by the flying debris. Then, Gouzi swung his claw again and smashed his core to death.

Comparatively speaking, the Little Red Lotus is much more elegant. Although the blood and even the entire body of the polluter have been transformed into a kind of viscous liquid, the little guy cannot directly control it, but it can control the blood mist to directly penetrate into the opponent's body. After finding the core, the blood mist will condense into spikes and directly shatter it.

As for Mellen, he followed the dog easily, collecting spiritual energy while also conducting a simple search of the room.

Of course, he gave up on this latter action after simply searching a few rooms and finding nothing.

Melen was not worried that the polluters would flee in all directions. After all, the polluters who stayed here had lost their own will and were just tools of the eroders.

Have you ever seen someone stay behind to buy time for his opponent to escape?

Moreover, the invader had long been locked by Spike's breath. It was the [Fighting Formation] that the dog cast. Although the dog was clearing the monsters, as long as the invader tried to escape, it would inevitably be affected by the power of the [Fighting Formation].

Moreover, at this distance, even with layers of houses blocking the way, Spike could not be stopped.

The Eroder understood this and began to command the Polluters to move closer to him, trying to concentrate their forces to deal with the crisis.

In just a few minutes, Spike and Little Red Lotus killed thirteen polluters, and the rest took the opportunity to gather on the roof.

The two dogs joined together and walked slowly towards the roof.

At this time, Jonah the Eroder felt terrible. He was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly attacked by a powerful enemy. Before he could figure out the situation, his polluters died quickly.

The intensity of the battle made him think for a moment that it was the Special Affairs Bureau that was attacking him.

"Could it be that that damn bastard Isaiah betrayed me? And then gave away my information?!"

The moment this thought came to his mind, Jonah couldn't help but want to run away.
