[The time was about a week before Shireen met Mr. End in Seven Oaks Street]

Emindale Dead Leaf jumped off the roof and accurately landed in the pile of debris she had selected earlier. As she fell, she released the melodies stored in her body and ordered them to form a sound barrier around her.

.

She was quite satisfied with her performance just now. A perfect landing should be as silent as this.

However, this small sense of achievement did not make her fall in love with her job. She was a female elf in the blooming season, and she should have been close to nature in the sunny wilderness, or at least found a flower bed near a natural stream to enjoy the birds.

Speech and the fragrance of flowers.

Well, even if you lie down in the woods and do nothing, it is better than squatting in a dark alley and stalking a single human girl.

But since Dead Leaf is one of the few talented elves in Fire Seal City, she can only put aside her own preferences temporarily. In fact, as long as she can perform on stage as an actress every week, she should be content.

.

You know, almost all the other elves hide in the dark underground garden. When they want to bask in the sun, they can only stand under a narrow greasy glass window, like beggars waiting for alms.

Compared with them, Dead Leaf can be regarded as a free elf. She has nothing to complain about, or there is no point in complaining.

The sound of wheels rolling came from the direction of Haifeng Street, and the sound amplification barrier she left there took effect. Dead Leaf checked her black night cloak again to make sure that no reflective surface was exposed. If she was hiding in the dark,

It would be so embarrassing for a "professional" stalker to be accidentally discovered by an unsuspecting human girl.

The carriage stopped, and someone got off the carriage and walked quickly on the street. Judging from the sound, there should be three people, and Shireen Marron was among them.

Dead Leaf waited patiently. When Marron reached the intersection opposite the hiding place, she should be the only one left. At least it had been like this for the past three nights, and there was no reason to be exception today.

Dead Leaf is not optimistic about this candidate. In her opinion, Shireen Marron is like a fragile porcelain doll, not suitable for being a spy at all. And by human standards, her outstanding appearance may cause dissatisfaction.

Necessary attention.

The footsteps gradually approached, and Marron appeared alone at the intersection of the street. Even wearing high heels, she was still a petite woman, and she was also extremely thin. Her walking posture seemed very tired, hmm, it seems that today

The work was not going well? But even so, she still lifted the hem of her skirt slightly to prevent it from sticking to the mud on the ground.

Ha, Gu Ye liked this about her. Even though she was tired and poor, she still felt that she had the responsibility to be a decent lady. Perhaps it was because of this that Gu Ye did not exclude her from the candidates.

After Marlon passed the hiding place of Dead Leaves, she suddenly stopped. She stood alone in the middle of the road, her shoulders slumped, looking like she was suddenly crushed. But that pitiful look only lasted a moment.

After a while she returned to her previous appearance.

Dead Leaf suddenly had the urge to go out and say hello to the human girl. But she quickly gave up the idea because she didn't know how to speak.

"Hi, good evening, miss. Did you know? In fact, I have been following you for a long time, and I just can't bear it today... Don't be nervous. Actually, I just want to chat with you."

...No, absolutely not, it will scare her.

If Dead Leaf has discovered any unmistakable information from his observations over the past few days, it is that Shireen Malen is easily frightened. Her spirit has always been in a state of tension, and a sudden collapse like the one just now is not the first time.

Once.

If this poor girl is sent into Mr. Ende's plan, Dead Leaf will definitely feel guilty. Let this Miss Shireen Marron continue to live her ordinary and difficult life. Although it is very hard, at least she

is safe.

Dead Leaf waited in the hiding place for a while longer, and Shireen Marron gradually walked away. The female elf hesitated for a moment, and finally followed. She had already observed Marron for four days and three nights, and there was still more to do.

The task was completed in two nights and one day.

No matter what he does, Dead Leaf likes to have a beginning and an end.

Marron stayed on the street for about seven minutes before going home. She first bought two pieces of discounted brown bread in the bakery, and then bought some needlework and half a bar of soap in the grocery store. After a while

After a mental struggle, she went back to the bakery and bought half a piece of strawberry cake.

Dead Leaf saw everything with his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

After finishing a little shopping in the evening, Marron returned to the apartment where he lived contentedly. The dead leaves hid where the street lights couldn't shine and quietly entered the courtyard of the apartment.

There is a leafy ginkgo tree on the other side of the apartment building. When you climb to the second branch of the trunk, you can just see Marron's bedroom.

Today was probably not her lucky day. When the dead leaves climbed to the first section, her boots slipped and almost broke her cloak. During her struggle, the whole tree shook. Marron seemed to notice the shadow outside the window.

He moved and walked suspiciously to the blinds.

Dead Leaf immediately lifted the soundproof barrier and imitated a wild cat meowing a few times.

This kind of lame plot is no longer used in third-rate novels, because most people will not fall for it. However, for some reason, it works every time on Marron. She left the window immediately after hearing the cat meowing.

Dead Leaf breathed a sigh of relief. When she confirmed that Marron was no longer paying attention to the window, she continued to climb up. A few seconds later, she sat on the fork of the second section, covering her whole body with her night cloak.

It seemed a little dirty, but she could only make do with it now.

Marron had finished eating a piece of bread and was wiping her hands with a wet towel. From the perspective of Gu Ye, her food intake was incredibly small, and she felt as if she was deliberately losing weight. But Mr. Ende mentioned before,

The income of an insurance auditor is not high, and there is not much left after paying the citizen tax.

He is cautious, easily frightened, wipes himself with a wet towel every day, sews his own clothes, and loves to eat strawberry cake... Well, it seems that he can add "saving money", although the reason for saving money is unknown.

To be honest, Marron is the poorest of all the candidates. If you only look at this, she is probably the easiest to be tempted by money. But Dead Leaf has always distrusted those who are greedy for money, especially greedy humans. She

I can't safely trust my back to those people.

Wait, what is she going to do? Dead Leaf looked at the bedroom and her eyes widened in surprise. She wanted to look away, but found that she couldn't. Marlon had just taken off her skirt and was sewing it up with needle and thread.

The holes in it.

She knew she shouldn't stare, it would be rude. But since she was already a stalker, there seemed to be no point in thinking about etiquette... and she realized that she had been thinking completely wrong before.

Although Marron looks very thin, she is not weak, and you can even vaguely see some muscle lines, which are the body that can only be exercised by riding horses for a long time. She must have been a girl who liked outdoor sports before, and she probably came to Fire

After Yincheng was built, it gradually became deserted.

And her fingers seem to be very dexterous, at least she has no problem handling needlework... Ah, wait, did she just cut her finger with scissors? Uh, it looks like it hurts, how pitiful.

Dead Leaf added another item in his mind's "Maerlun Characteristics List": "Cannot touch bladed objects", just after "Saving money".

Well, she seems to have finished sewing her clothes, so she should be neatly dressed now... Wait! There is a basin of water on the table, and that bar of soap!

Dead Leaf looked away. Although she could convince herself to peek at Marron mending clothes, peeking into the shower was another matter entirely.

She jumped down from the branch and decided to end her tracking tonight. Although it was indeed interesting to observe the ordinary life of this red-haired girl, Dead Leaf had already made her decision.
Chapter completed!
