That afternoon.

"Duran," Alice said telepathically as she walked down the street, "I am being followed."

Durang: "What's going on?"

Alice: "As I walked along the road, every beggar on the roadside would peek at me secretly."

Durang: "Maybe it's because of your appearance?"

Alice: "No, if they are greedy for beauty, I can see it in their eyes. The eyes of these people are very calm, without any unnecessary emotions, but the average time their eyes stay on me is longer than that of other passers-by. I think

, they should be here to monitor me, they are most likely the spies bribed by Chino."

"Kino knows that you are a processor, and he must also know that your perception is far beyond ordinary people. How could he use these rookies..." Durang thought for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and asked quickly, "I have a question, if

In the past, that is, in the previous life, would you have been able to discover these people?"

Alice said with certainty: "No. These beggars are not rookies, they are very professional! If I hadn't specialized in assassination in the world of reincarnation, and my static and dynamic vision and sixth sense of mind have been greatly enhanced, it would be impossible to detect them."

"Very good, Kino has exposed his flaw!" Durang's voice was full of power and he said excitedly, "These beggars did not expose themselves intentionally, they are really following you. Now, every move you make will be transmitted to Kino

.”

Alice: "What do you want me to do?"

Durang: "Listen, we have two advantages."

"First, Kino has used these beggars with superb detection skills, but his understanding of you is still in the past life, and he did not realize that your perception ability has been greatly enhanced, and these informants have been exposed."

"Two, he doesn't know that you and I communicate through telepathy."

"We are going to use these two points to mislead him!"

"Now, leave these beggars alone, pretend you don't know anything, and then go to the city gate to explore the way as originally planned to find out why you were exposed."

"I know." Alice looked calm and continued walking towards the city gate.

She came to the east gate where she entered the city, bought some oatmeal, and sat at a roadside stall to eat it.

At the same time, her eyes scanned around the area, looking for clues.

The city gate is very lively, with busy traffic and people coming and going. The guards' inspection procedures are also very routine. At first glance, nothing unusual is found.

Alice closed her eyes, feeling a heavy pressure faintly exuding from her body. When she opened her eyes again, strange ripples appeared in her pupils, and the object in front of her eyes instantly turned into a spectrum with constantly changing wavelengths.

Thermal perception, which is an assassination skill, can see the heat of surrounding objects, which is equivalent to a naked-eye thermal imager.

There are many moving heat sources in front of us. It is the 27th of God's Blessing. The temperature has turned cooler and people's body surface temperature is 0.5 to 1℃ lower than the body temperature.

In contrast, those with high skin temperature will become very conspicuous.

Apart from some slave laborers carrying heavy objects, Alice found a man sitting quietly in the dark with a very high body temperature.

Alice had actually seen this person before turning on the heat perception, but he just sat and occasionally moved his hands, without much other movement, so she didn't become suspicious.

Having such a high body temperature while sitting quietly means only one thing - his body is operating at high speed.

Alice turned off her heat perception, and her eyes began to focus on that person. The static vision continued to advance, and the details she glimpsed became increasingly clear.

About ten seconds later, she saw the man put a piece of paper into the box next to him, and she also saw clearly the drawing on the paper...

"Dulang, I know why I was exposed." Alice said telepathically, "Kino has placed painters at the gate of the city. They are the kind of sketchers who draw wanted portraits. When I entered the city, the sketchers took me

He painted his face and sent it to Kino."

"Very good, very good..." Du Lang thought for a moment and said silently, "Your second mission is to make friends in the city."

Alice was puzzled: "Make friends? What do you mean?"

Du Lang: "Just try to chat with people as much as possible. It doesn't matter what the chat is about. When you meet a man, just strike up a conversation and do some small gestures of handing things over. You should be very good at this."

Alice was a little helpless: "When I was a processor, my communication skills were indeed among the best in the organization, but I didn't understand the meaning of doing so."

"You'll understand. Now, do it."

"knew."

...

Late that night, Paladin hurriedly knocked on the door of the office and ran in with a cold sweat: "Sir, all the sketchers we installed at the city gates were assassinated, and no one survived!"

Kino was eating sweets. When he heard the news, he stopped moving his mouth. After a long silence, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did Varta's people say?"

Paladin said quickly: "Varta's beggars have been monitoring the woman named Alice. She went near the east city gate this afternoon and has been drinking in the tavern since then. She chatted with more than 40 men and did nothing else.

thing."

Kino frowned even more tightly: "Of those more than forty men, how many are blessed by God to enter the city after the 25th?"

"I've checked for you. Most of them are locals and have been living here. 13 of them are not locals, and 9 of them entered the city after the 25th."

"Go and give Lugo an order to kill all nine of them."

Paladin was startled, but he was used to not questioning Kino's orders and just passed them on.

...

4 hours later, 3 o'clock in the morning.

Chino's desk is filled with candy wrappers, and he has already eaten several kilograms of candy.

Lugo came back with Paladin, and Lugo reported: "It's done, because there are night watch soldiers patrolling the city, and a lot of hands and feet were disabled."

Kino: "Kill them all?"

Lugo: "Kill them all."

"Ka." Kino put the candy into his mouth, crushed it with his tiger teeth, and chewed slowly.

impossible.

The countdown to invasion appears on the 25th of Divine Blessing, and only those who enter the city after this time may be reincarnators.

On the 25th of Divine Blessing, he had exchanged his respect points for a set of radio signal shielding devices, which covered the entire city and blocked the possibility of long-distance communication by the Samsara Team.

In other words, assuming that Alice discovers clues at the East City Gate this afternoon and passes the information to her companions, asking them to assassinate the sketcher, her companion must be someone she has come into contact with in person, that is, one of these nine people.

Now that Lugo has killed all 9 of them, even the Class B reincarnation disguise should be ineffective.

However, in the Mark of the Rejector, the countdown does not change, and there is no reminder that the reincarnation disguise has expired.

There are only two possibilities: either, these 9 people are innocent and not reincarnators; or, the other party has activated B-level or above, that is, A-level or S-level reincarnation disguise.

The second possibility is slim. This is the second wave of reincarnation invasion. If a reincarnation team can afford A-class or S-class reincarnation disguises, their own strength must far exceed this class.

This class of reincarnators coming to Twilight City would definitely be a massacre. They couldn't have been secretive and delayed for so long, and the supreme being wouldn't have made such an outrageous difference in combat power.

But if these nine people are not reincarnators, how did Alice pass on the information?

Kino thought of a possibility and asked, "Did Alice lose or leave anything today?"

Paladin was stunned: "This... I haven't asked Valta yet."

"Ask immediately! If she threw something into the trash, find the person who went through the trash. If she left something in the tavern, find the waiter who was responsible for cleaning up. Everyone who has contacted and seen it

Find all the people who are responsible for these things, and if any of them enter the city after the 25th, kill them all."

At this moment, even a murderous mercenary like Lugo was shocked: "That would kill dozens of people."

Paladin secretly nudged Lugo with his elbow.
