There are still more than twenty minutes until midnight.
Ronald and Heloise quietly opened the door and left the boarding house where they lived.
The investigator who was originally responsible for monitoring Ronald has withdrawn due to Elaine's appearance. But today's situation is special. The investigator who took over the job, Elaine, is temporarily absent due to work.
Therefore, it is rare for the two of them to be in a situation where there is no surveillance at all by the Investigation Bureau.
The commercial area is geographically connected to the riverfront area.
Ronald took Heloise as they walked towards the Vis River, talking and laughing like a young couple walking in the middle of the night.
In the riverside area during this time, there was basically no trace of people nearby.
There was only a moored boat on the Vis River accompanying the two of them.
As they walked along the Weiss River comfortably, until they approached the business district, there were more signs of citizen activities in Springs.
This is the business district of Springs after all.
As the economic hub of the country of Greed, their work will not be affected by changes in day and night. Every minute and every second is an important moment when people in the business district need to devote all their energy.
"Ronald, do you think those guys placed the center of the ceremony in the business district as a deliberate target?" As they walked on the road, Heloise suddenly asked Ronald.
Ronald thought for a moment and then gave his own thoughts:
"When Elaine interrogated the guy before and confessed, they were obviously planning to cause a big event in the Springs. Now they have placed the ceremony center in a place with a lot of people like the business district. I'm afraid it is also to facilitate the implementation of the plan, right?"
Faced with the answer given by Ronald.
The smile on Heloise's face remained unchanged, but her seriousness when answering was obviously a bit more serious:
"Ronald, I know you managed a cult sorcerer's activity in Burrenwich, but this also led you to make a habitual mistake in thinking. This is a cult sorcerer, not a mysterious side magician with normal brain circuits.
!”
"I have actually mentioned before that when fighting or dealing with these cult warlocks, you must not speculate on their purpose according to normal thinking. As far as they choose the commercial district as the center of their rituals, there may be nothing wrong with them.
The purpose is to simply think that this place is interesting!"
"..."
"Is this okay?"
"The cult warlock, that's what it is!"
Gradually entering the brightly lit environment of the business district, Ronald and Heloise's discussion gradually became lowered. When they came to a densely populated area, it was obviously no longer appropriate to continue discussing the previous issues.
And this change.
It also means that their exploration will officially begin tonight.
Because it was an issue related to the mysterious side and the cult warlock, Ronald and the others had a very clear plan of action. Heloise used the means she was good at to detect the surrounding magic fluctuations.
And Ronald quietly summoned the black mist with the power of 'wrath'.
With the ability to perceive emotions in a wide range, try to find the group of people in the business district who are not so gregarious.
Starting from the northeast corner of the business district, a man and a woman walked slowly on the street. There were also Springs citizens who were busy working around them and noticed them, but no one came to disturb them because of their important work.
Walking on this street at night.
Heloise even couldn't help but sigh:
"On a night like this, perhaps only Springs can see it."
Ronald on the side smiled knowingly:
"If society continues to develop as it is now, I think this scenario may become a very common situation in the future, and prosperity will spread to many corners of the civilized world."
"is that so……"
Heloise has always been more convinced of some of Ronald's opinions.
At this moment, listening to the description of the man next to her, while her tone was filled with emotion, her eyes also became a little subtle.
It seems to be accompanied by such a conversation.
She began to recall some of her past experiences, so that she inevitably began to feel something in her heart.
However, this situation did not last long.
When they passed a third of the way through the business district, the two stopped together in perfect agreement.
"..."
Sensing something strange, they looked at each other.
Ronald saw the confirmation in Heloise's eyes, and Heloise also saw the seriousness in Ronald's expression.
"You feel it too?"
"Right over there."
Almost at the same time, a three-story office building on the side of the road in the business district caught their attention.
With the help of the power of 'Rage', Ronald could clearly feel that something was wrong with the citizens in this building. Their mental and emotional state was in a psychedelic state that seemed like a dream but not a dream, and seemed to be awake but not awake.
In Heloise's eyes, things were very simple.
Although in the eyes of ordinary spellcasters, the magic power fluctuations in that building are probably just normal defensive spells, according to the special method Heloise mastered, he can detect the closed loop formed in the magic power flow near the office building.
.
This closed-loop phenomenon of magic power means that after someone mobilizes magic power to achieve a goal, he then uses exquisite means to continuously export the magic power to maintain regional balance. Generally, only very sophisticated magic circles or rituals can do this.
It would be too wasteful to use it on such a mediocre office building.
Refer to the purpose of Ronald and Heloise coming here.
This three-story office building is obviously the first suspicious target tonight.
"The people over there are not in the right state."
"The operation of magic power is also strange."
"The location is right at the center of the rune, which is questionable."
"..."
The two exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then walked together into the darkness in the corner of the business district in tacit agreement.
Both Ronald and Heloise have extremely exaggerated physical qualities, and the choices they make now are naturally of a type that can highlight this advantage.
When they came to a dark corner where no one was paying attention, they climbed up the wall one by one, and jumped up continuously using the strength of the left and right. In the blink of an eye, they all climbed up to the roof of the building.
call--
At this time, a gust of cold wind blowing from the west passed through the corners of their clothes.
Feeling the coolness that was different from the hot daytime in Springs, Heloise looked back and forth towards the three-story office building, and then confirmed the best route.
"The west-facing windows on the second floor of that kind of building are open. They are not along the street and there are no street lights. We can sneak in from that side without alerting anyone."
Follow Heloise's white fingers to confirm the position.
Ronald nodded to express his understanding, and then jumped towards the opposite side:
