Backlund, in the hall of Earl Wolfe's house.

Men and women with good looks and temperament danced gracefully to the melody played by the violin.

In an unnoticed corner, a gloomy young man wearing a black formal suit with black hair and brown eyes was walking on the edge of the dance floor. He was looking for something in the dance with a solemn expression. After repeated searches to no avail, he casually picked something from the vase beside him.

Next red rose.

When he made this action, he noticed that several invisible eyes were scanning his body.

He glanced indifferently at a few seemingly harmless places at the dance.

The young man did nothing. He left the dance floor with a red rose in his hand and walked further and further away as if taking a walk.

He quickly moved away from the place where the music was playing, and came to the door of a room where the servants were being pushed away. When he heard the faint groaning and lingering sounds inside the door, the young man's expression instantly became extremely ugly, and he suppressed the anger in his eyes.

Push the door open and go in immediately.

But just when his palm was about to touch the door, he stopped for some reason.

The ugly expression on his face changed several times, and he finally withdrew his hand.

He just quietly stepped aside and waited for things to finish in the room.

The waiting was excruciating. It took nearly half an hour before a young man with slightly messy hair and a still flushed face opened the door. It was as if he couldn't see the black-haired young man waiting at the door. He arranged his clothes and hair by himself.

, leave here carefully.

Looking at the back of the departing boy, the black-haired young man took a deep breath.

The anger in his heart was about to erupt like a restless volcano.

Slowly walking into the smoke-filled room, he closed the door with his backhand and sealed the room with a spiritual wall.

The smell of lust mixed with the smell of tobacco continued to stimulate his anger. When he saw the strong man sitting naked in the smoke, smoking a cigar leisurely on the sofa, his anger could no longer be endured and he roared at the man.

:

"Becklund! Are you crazy? You..."

"Where's Ian?"

The angry shouting ended abruptly with this plain question.

Backlund leaned against the sofa cushions, squinting at the young man he was questioning. He chuckled and pressed his hand against the youthful energy that was about to rise again. He blew out a puff of smoke in his direction and said in a frivolous tone:

"Rosago, don't make excuses for things that don't work well. It's been so long. We haven't gotten Hermoshuin's manuscript. Finding the moth inside has failed. We also failed to ask you to kill the little detective who teased us. Hehe, you

Look, I still listen to your advice. If you don’t let me touch those troublesome women, then I will change my taste and play, tut! Count Wolfe’s youngest son is very good~"

Staring at the shameless Backlund with a sinister look on his face, Rosago said in a deep voice:

"Your 'conspiracy' has long been seen through. Red Brick Alley is a trap from beginning to end. My secret partner just appeared and was destroyed by the official demigod. If I hadn't been prepared in advance, I would have died in the hands of that demigod."

, now that MI9 has targeted you, what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, red fire snakes suddenly rose from the tips of Beckron's fingers. After the flames burned out the cigar, he slowly sat up and looked at Rosago carefully.

Only then did he realize that the other party was not in good condition.

Catching the keywords "trap", "official demigod" and "MI9" in the other party's words, his face gradually became solemn, and he immediately stood up and picked it up, ignoring his habitual "provocation".

The clothes scattered on the ground began to be put on.

While getting dressed, he was also thinking about what went wrong.

Rosago is the Sequence 5 "Secret Puppet Master" of the "Soothsayer" pathway. He has two secret puppets, the Sequence 7 "Pyromancer" of the "Hunter" pathway, and the Sequence 6 "Dawn Knight" of the "Warrior" pathway. Their cooperation is quite perfect.

He is the most powerful mid-level Extraordinary person among the demigods.

MI9 is ​​not good at divination at all. Even with the help of extraordinary people who are good at divination, it is impossible to ignore Rosago's "divination interference" to obtain intelligence.

So why did MI9, which should have been kept hidden, get involved?

A mole?

No! It can’t be a mole.

Backlund himself believed in Rosago's ability very much, and using "provocation" to manipulate his subordinates was just a habit of being a "conspirator". Since he repeatedly checked the loyalty of his subordinates and found no problems, then there really was no problem.

If the problem is not internal, it can only be external.

Was it the belief in the "Guardian God" that triggered a city-wide investigation that led to the discovery of the Zmange Party?

Or the missing Meursault?

Thinking of the little detective who directly caused Meursault's disappearance, Beckland, who was roughly dressed, stopped buttoning his cuffs. As if something suddenly occurred to him, he turned back to Rosago and asked:

"Has the manuscript fallen into the hands of MI9?"

Shaking his head in silence, Rosago said nothing more.

But Backlund knew that this meant that the manuscript had not fallen into the hands of MI9, not that he didn't know.

As a senior "conspirator" and professional intelligence officer, he was keenly aware of the truth of the current situation. They were being used as a shield by others, and someone deliberately leaked his information to draw the attention of MI9.

The operation at Red Brick Alley in East District was originally an act, and the people who actually obtained the manuscript were in another place.

It's unusual for an official demigod to appear in Red Brick Alley.

He, the intelligence chief installed by Intis in Backlund, may be important, but he is not important enough to need to send a demigod. It is more like Rosago is unlucky and has been implicated.

He has a secret partner, and he should be able to escape smoothly even if he is discovered. Now that all the secret partners are lost and he is injured, it only shows that the Red Brick Alley has a layer-by-layer arrangement by the opponent.

The target must also be a demigod.

The combination of various conditions has narrowed the range of answers to a very small range.

Presuming that there would be no trace of the matter and that it would not be too long ago, Backlund quickly ran through the recent information about Backlund in his mind. Soon, a certain rumor attracted his attention.

Behind the foggy city is the resurrected Russell!

Without any evidence to support it, he just intuitively believed that this was the answer.

In this way, everything can be connected. The demigod that MI9 has to deal with should be from Misty City, and compared to his identity as a member of the Intis intelligence agency, his identity as an important official of Intis is the key.

After all, Russell is the Caesar of the Intis Empire. He only needs some specious guidance to label him as a hidden Zionist party.

"Damn! These idiots!"

Wanting to understand the crux of the problem, Backlund cursed angrily.

If he had been a member of the Zionist Party, could he still have climbed to his current position alive?

Are those esoteric demigods all idiots?

Are the bishops of the Church of Steam and the Church of the Eternal Sun all idiots?

He did not curse out all the questions in his mind. Guesses were just guesses after all. Even if he guessed them all correctly, they could not be used as evidence until the information could be implemented, because there was still a key question that he could not figure out.

That's why the Loen Royal Family targets Misty City?

Backlund did not believe that the operation in Red Brick Lane came from the will of MI9.

Not everyone has the right to mobilize demigods. The situation in the church and the state is similar. Having the right and being qualified are two different things. Being able to mobilize and being able to mobilize are even more different. To achieve the level of Red Brick Alley, you only need to

It could be an order from the Loen royal family.

This is barely a gain.

After putting on his coat and wiping his hair back, a sarcastic smile reappeared on Backlund's face. While adjusting his sleeves, he walked up to Rosago, deliberately tilted his head and whispered into his ear:

"I feel very lucky. Now I can't get the manuscript of Hermoshuyn at all. It's really incompetent. Rosago, I just let go of such a rare and great contribution. As a bodyguard, I was targeted by MI9.

Even after catching several rounds of traitors, our intelligence network is still like a sieve. Even a small detective who offends us will fail. How should I evaluate your work? It is excellent?"

Backlund's approach and whispers made Rosago very uncomfortable.

When the intimidation with his eyes was ineffective, he could only frown and take two steps away from the opponent.

Although Rosago has basically become accustomed to working with Extraordinaries of the "Hunter" path, the idea of ​​​​turning them into secret partners still pops up from time to time.

This is especially true at this moment!

Trying his best to suppress his anger, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Don't go too far. If I were to turn you into a secret partner, I would just spend some time to change an ambassador. Now Backlund has a demigod of the 'divineer' path. It's not convenient for me to take action casually. I'll wait for that person to leave me."

Naturally, I will kill the detective, but you should think about how to deal with the trouble of MI9."

He didn't care at all about Rosago's disgust and threats.

Backlund buttoned up his coat and said with a somewhat presumptuous smile:

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Of course, do nothing. They already know who I am. The reason why I can still stand here is because there is no clear reason for my treatment. It's the same now. The missing Mi

If Erso is in their hands, do they still need to monitor him?"

He glanced at Rosago as if he were an idiot, and then pointed at the door.

Understanding what he meant, Rosago snorted and lifted the spiritual wall that blocked the room, then changed into a mediocre appearance and followed the other person away.

Backlund returned to the hall and continued to attend the ball, as if the secret surveillance did not exist at all.

Of course Rosago would not stay and suffer.
To be continued...
