Chapter 53 Tracking
……
……
A week ago on Wednesday, at ten o'clock in the evening, a figure quickly slipped into the second-grade toilet in the teaching building without anyone noticing him. It was dark in the night, and the figure's face could not be seen. I could only tell that it was a male, with hair parted in the middle.
The mysterious man with middle-parted hair waited in the toilet for a while, and then a pure black shadow suddenly flew from the distant horizon. The shadow quickly escaped into the toilet where the mysterious man was, and after landing, he transformed into a tall figure wearing a cloak.
"You haven't been discovered or followed, right?" the cloaked man said in a low voice. If Lin Tianlang was here, he would definitely recognize the cloaked man as one of the two people he eavesdropped on the conversation that night.
"Sir, I have checked carefully. At this time, all students and teachers have taken a break. And I can guarantee that my whereabouts have not been discovered by anyone." The mysterious man also lowered his voice and said.
"Very good, stay vigilant." The cloaked man nodded: "Rainbow Gem...how is the investigation going?"
"Sir, the scope has been narrowed down very much. I am confident that I will determine the final location within one to two weeks." The mysterious man said.
"As soon as possible, we don't have much time." The cloaked man said.
"But, sir, there are some situations that need to be reported." The mysterious man lowered his head and said: "I seem...I don't know, I feel like I'm being noticed. This week, I always feel that someone is secretly watching me. .”
"Really?" The cloaked man's tone became colder.
"I'm not sure, but I feel this way," the mysterious man said.
"In this case, slow down the pace of your investigation and don't reveal your flaws. Be careful not to reveal your identity. You should know how hard I tried to put you into Shenglun Magic Academy. You must know that you It is a very important chess piece of the throne and cannot be lost so easily!" The cloaked man's voice was hoarse.
"I understand, sir." The mysterious man nodded: "However, the level of those who are following me does not seem to be very high, and their methods are very low-end. They look like students, and they are junior students."
"Haha, it seems that old guy Vincent is really stupid. He arranged for such a few underclassmen with no hair to be investigators." The cloaked man sneered: "But, even if they are underclassmen, Don’t take it lightly. No matter what, be careful and don’t expose it.”
"I understand, sir." The mysterious man nodded again.
"It may still take four or five years before the seal of the throne is broken. But if we can use the power of the rainbow gem, even the fragments will be a huge help, and the throne can be born in advance. By then, my king will be invincible!" The cloaked man! He said with a hint of perverted pride in his tone.
"My king is invincible!" The mysterious man also shouted in a low voice.
"You should be very aware of your importance. If we can successfully obtain the rainbow gem fragments, you will be indispensable. But don't blame me for not making it clear. If we can't get the gems because of you, then you also There is no need to go back to see the throne." The cloaked man said coldly.
"I know, I know it very well." The mysterious man nodded for the third time.
"Remember your mission. Don't let me down, and don't let the throne down."
"Ricky."
……
……
"Tonight is the time to finally confirm the location of the gem." Ricky quietly came to the complex. This building is the exclusive teaching building for the practical classes of Potions and Magical Astrology. Lin Tianlang quietly followed Ricky. Through this silhouette, he was 80% sure in his heart that this was Ricky himself.
"Did you finally show your weakness?" Lin Tianlang gritted his teeth and kept a distance of about thirty meters from Ricky to ensure that he would not be discovered.
"Is it really you, Ricky?" After he became more and more sure that the dark figure he was following was Ricky, Lin Sirius didn't feel any joy in his heart, but instead felt a burst of disappointment. Just two weeks ago, he had a very good impression of Ricky, thinking he was an approachable senior with a gentle personality. Who knew that underneath this meek mask, there was actually an ugly demon spy.
Although Ricky had been alert to his surroundings, he never noticed Lin Tianlang following him. On the one hand, the light was very dark at night, and on the other hand, Lin Tianlang's footsteps were very light and did not make any sound.
Ricky walked into the complex, looking sneaky. Lin Tianlang quietly followed him, never taking his eyes off Ricky's body.
Walking into the corridor of the complex building, there were no lights around, and the light was so dark that although it was not so dark that you could barely see, you could only see a vague outline. In such dim light, Lin Tianlang couldn't see the road at all, but Ricky moved very quickly, as if he was not affected by the darkness at all.
"Damn, why is this guy moving so fast? Is he turning on night vision?" Lin Sirius gritted his teeth. He really guessed this right. Ricky had cast a night vision spell on himself at this time, which allowed his eyes to ignore the darkness, and the surrounding scenery was as bright as daytime to him.
The visual difference made Lin Tianlang gradually unable to keep up with Ricky. Ricky nimbly turned left and right in the corridor. Although Lin Tianlang was not unfamiliar with the terrain here in the complex, he was not very familiar with it either. Suddenly, Ricky quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor. Lin Tianlang wiped his eyes. Searching for targets in the dark for a long time made his eyes feel harder than usual.
Speeding up and walking to the corner, Lin Tianlang clung to the wall and quietly poked half of his head out of the corner. Of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to walk out of the corner blankly.
Ricky didn't realize that after walking around the corner, there was a long straight corridor. Sirius Lin saw Ricky suddenly stop and fiddle with something on the wall.
"Huh?" Lin Tianlang hid around the corner again, wanting to observe Ricky's actions. Lin Sirius remembered that there didn't seem to be any rooms in this corridor, so what was Ricky doing against the wall?
At this moment, Ricky was facing the corridor wall. At this time, there was an oil painting in front of him, but it could not be seen from Lin Tianlang's perspective.
"I've been paying attention to you for a long time in this painting. If there's something fishy about it, it must be you!" Ricky said, holding the painting with both hands, and then moved it to the side. The oil painting was moved, but behind the oil painting was not a plain wall, but a dark secret passage.
A smile appeared on the corner of Ricky's mouth: "I found you, Gem Secret Room!" He looked left and right, trying to make sure that no one had discovered him.
Seeing Ricky sweeping towards him, Lin Tianlang quickly retracted his head into the corner. However, he did not notice that a thick black shadow was slowly approaching him.
"What a risk, we were almost discovered!" Lin Tianlang exhaled, and then slowly poked his head out of the corner again, but...
"Boom!" A pure black shadow suddenly blocked Lin Tianlang's sight. Lin Sirius' breathing was stagnant, and he suddenly felt as if his heart had stopped beating. Slowly raising his head, he seemed to see something similar to a cloak, and then a powerful pale claw suddenly grabbed his neck.
"No..." Lin Tianlang didn't have time to struggle. The feeling of suffocation quickly came towards him from all directions. Along with the feeling of suffocation, there was also a deep fear. The world seemed to have turned black, and no sound could be made. Lin Sirius quickly lost consciousness and then collapsed limply on the ground.
"Idiot..." The cloaked man cursed in a low voice, carrying Lin Tianlang to Ricky, and threw Lin Tianlang to the ground like a puddle of mud. When Ricky saw the cloaked man approaching, he was about to happily report that he had found the gem secret room, but when he saw Sirius being thrown towards him by the cloaked man, he was immediately frightened and speechless.
"You were followed here and you didn't notice it at all, you loser!!" The cloaked man reached out and slapped Ricky directly.
"Sir... Your Majesty..." Ricky covered half of his face that immediately swelled up, feeling so painful that he was about to burst into tears. But he still said with a smile: "Sir... the gem secret room... is here... the fragments of the rainbow gem must be inside!"
"Hmph! Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you! Let's just..." The cloaked man was about to steal the gems out now, but a bright light suddenly appeared at another corner of the corridor in the distance.
"No, someone is coming!!" The cloaked man roared, sounding like he was trying his best to suppress his anger.
"Ah? What should we do?" Ricky suddenly panicked.
"The location of the gem secret room has been discovered. The situation has changed today. We will take action tomorrow!" The cloaked man said: "Hurry back to where you should be, don't get caught, don't be discovered!!"
"Yes, sir!" Ricky nodded quickly: "What about this person?"
"Originally, it would be best to kill him. But if someone discovers that someone is dead, that old guy Vincent will definitely take all actions to seal the gem secret room immediately, and then we won't be able to do anything." The cloaked man whispered. Said: "So now, we can only leave this person here. As long as no one is killed, Vincent and his gang will not take action so quickly."
After saying that, the cloaked man turned into a pure black shadow again and fled quickly. Ricky also quickly took action and quickly ran away in the opposite direction of the light.
"Deng-deng-deng" The lights became brighter and brighter, and a burst of footsteps also appeared on the right corner of the corridor. Then, the owner of the light appeared, it was Geer holding a lantern. Last week, Vincent told Geer to be more vigilant, so Geer came here every night to patrol.
"Huh?" Geer turned into the corridor. The light of the lantern was very bright in the darkness. The light extended out and reflected Sirius Lying on the ground.
