Chapter 181: There is another one of the same kind
"squeak--"
Lin En stood at the door for about four or five seconds when she heard the sound of metal friction, neither high nor low.
He followed the direction of the sound and looked behind him.
I saw a nail floating slowly across the door of the hotel.
If ordinary people saw this scene, they would probably break into a cold sweat at the first sight.
How could a nail float up on its own and scratch the door?! It’s haunted in broad daylight?!
But Linn knew very well that this was something that only Reiner could do except himself. And his intention to do this was obvious, he wanted to give himself some hints.
Tip what?
Before Linn could think more about it, the nails floated away along the base of the wall.
It turned out to be guiding myself.
wonderful.
After giving Reiner a thumbs up in his mind, Linn pretended to take a casual walk while lamenting that he still underestimated Reiner.
It is obvious that Reiner has also obtained the ability to control metal products and iron products, which is similar to telekinesis, and his attainments in this area are several times greater than his own.
At least he could control the iron nails, but the distance could only be ten meters at most.
At first glance, Reiner estimated that the diameter was no less than thirty or forty meters.
On one side of the hotel is a damp and dark alley. The alley exudes a stench, as if many people have solved three emergencies here.
Linn covered his mouth and nose with his collar and continued to go deeper. Soon, at another corner of the alley, he saw Reiner, who had changed into black clothes.
"How are you doing here?" Reiner looked behind Linn and asked first after confirming that no one was following him.
"I have initially gained their trust. I drank all night last night..." Lin En told Reiner everything he had learned from the train.
After hearing this, Reiner pondered: "They should have a superior."
"Superior?"
"After I came over last night, I kept waiting nearby, looking for a chance to meet you directly. But before I could wait for you, I saw the robber leader leaving in a hurry in a truck. So I had to change my plan temporarily and follow up to see you.
Let’s take a look.” Reiner mentioned what happened at night.
This is exactly what Lin En wanted to ask: "After drinking in the evening, I saw him leaving, and I saw you following him. Boss Xin didn't tell me about this secret trip, so I think it was them
One of the most important secrets. According to you, he went to see another person with a higher status than him at night?"
Reiner analyzed: "It should not only be higher than him, but also higher than Captain Quentin."
"Tell me carefully." Lin En frowned, realizing that the problem was not simple.
If there are people above [Extraordinary] Quentin, then there might be cleanup personnel among them.
But it's best not to poke holes in the nest of the same kind, deal with one Quentin, and involve a bunch of troublesome enemies.
"Actually, I didn't see the details. I only found that Boss Xin went to a very luxurious mansion, respectfully reported something to the servant, and then handed him a letter." Reiner recalled the night.
After hearing the news, "Quentin should have asked him to deliver the letter to the owner of the mansion on his behalf."
"Have you found out who the owner of the mansion is?"
"There's no one there in the early hours of the morning, so I can't inquire. I plan to go over there later to check and confirm the situation."
Lin En nodded slightly: "You have to pay attention to rest. In such a cold weather, you will stay outside all night."
"Don't worry, I will find a hotel to stay in after confirming the situation." Reiner looked at the hotel next to him, "Do you think it will be risky for me to stay in this hotel?"
"It's hard to say. The lower two floors are the guest rooms, and the top floor is the activity area of the robbers. Logically speaking, it is safe for you to live on the first and second floors, but you and they have to move around in case you are recognized.
That would be troublesome." Linn did not directly confirm or deny, leaving it to Reiner to decide whether to move in or not.
After all, he knows best what he is capable of.
Just do what you can.
"Indeed. I was the first person in the carriage to resist them, and they were deeply impressed by me." Reiner nodded, "What's going on with them at night?"
"We get together to drink together at night and sleep during the day." Lin En said.
Considering efficiency, Reiner wanted to fight for it: "If I am more cautious, I shouldn't be discovered by them. The key is that there should be no one of them at the hotel, right?"
"It's a different group of people who run the hotel."
"That's okay." Reiner felt that this was something he could definitely try, "Then I'll live here, and it will be easy to contact him later."
"Okay." Seeing that Reiner was quite confident, Linn did not express his opinion anymore.
"Then I'll go to the mansion first to investigate who the forces related to these people are. We'll find a chance to meet and talk in the evening." Reiner said and was about to leave.
Linn stopped Reiner: "Be careful."
"Are you worried that... the owner of that mansion is also a cleaning staff, and is much more powerful than Quentin?" Reiner understood what Linn meant in an instant.
"We can't rule out this possibility. It's either a person with high authority or a veteran extraordinary person, otherwise it would be impossible for Quentin to take it so seriously." If Boss Xin and the others hadn't been completely reassured about him, Lin En would have wanted to go and see it himself.
look.
He has the [Eye of the Peeper], so he can clearly see what is going on over there, and his efficiency is much higher than that of Reiner.
Unfortunately, now I can only wait for Reiner to confirm his identity first, and then I can find an opportunity to go there and verify it later.
"What if he really is a transcendent?" Reiner asked.
He was worried that Linn was scared.
I am also worried that this operation will go to waste. Even though we are obviously more capable, we can only watch the tragedy repeat itself.
Lin En said rationally: "Even if there is an extra transcendent level opponent, it does not mean that this matter cannot be done. We can continue to make preparations. However, if it is determined that the risk is greater, we must be on the safe side.
Find another opportunity to clean them up after they become stronger."
This attitude coincides with Reiner's.
Don’t be afraid because your opponent is also an [Extraordinary], nor be arrogant because your opponent is not as powerful as you!
When walking on this road, the most important thing to keep is to be neither humble nor arrogant! Don’t belittle yourself or be arrogant!
After watching Reiner leave, Linn returned to the third floor of the hotel.
The smell of meat was still there, and his stomach growled twice.
Eat for free and don't eat for free.
Lin En went straight back to the dining room and greeted Boss Xin and several of his subordinates who were still eating meat inside: "I'm here, is there still meat?"
"I barely made it, come and eat." Mr. Xin generously gave Lin En a plate of meat.
"Breathing fresh air is really helpful for relieving nausea." Lin En washed her hands and ate meat.
"We were just talking about what we should do today." Boss Xin wiped the oil from his mouth with a napkin and looked at Lin En, "Is there anything you want to see?"
Lin En swallowed a mouthful of meat and said, "You can do whatever you want. I don't know much about Joseph City. It all depends on your arrangements, boss."
"Then let's go see the acrobatic troupe in the afternoon. I heard that a famous acrobatic troupe has come to Joseph City to perform in the past few days." Boss Xin suggested.
"Okay." Lin En had no objection, "By the way, when will Brother Quentin be back today?"
"It's probably late at night."
"Then how often can we get on the train and make a fortune? It doesn't feel right to just sit down and eat, drink and have fun." Lin En asked again.
"Haha! Isn't it good to eat, drink and have fun? Robbery on the train is not completely risk-free, just like this time." Boss Xin drank the remaining half of the beer, "Follow us and enjoy it, don't be too active in the work.
"
Linn said nothing more.
After eating and having nothing to do, he went back to his room to catch up on his sleep. When he woke up, the rest of his friends who had been asleep since early morning had also basically woken up.
A crowd of people gathered in the truck again to watch the acrobatic troupe's performance.
The performance by the acrobatic troupe was wonderful.
It's a pity that in the second half of the show, most of the robbers didn't want to watch anymore. They either went to vent their anger or found a place to continue drinking.
People on both sides also extended invitations to Lin En.
Lin En had no interest and no time, so in order to avoid them becoming suspicious, he told the person who invited him to drink that he still felt sick, and told the person who invited him to vent his anger that he was not good at that, and successfully kept his free space at night.
After following the two robbers who had their own reasons back to the hotel, Linn deliberately stood at the top of the stairs to blow the wind.
The third floor is basically empty now. After investigating the situation of the mansion, Reiner can come up and meet Linn with a little attention.
As he expected, Reiner had already checked in on the second floor, and saw from the window that only he and the other two robbers had returned.
The two met in a tacit understanding at the stairs. For safety reasons, they went downstairs together and shared information in the smelly alley next to them.
"The owner of that mansion has no background. He bought the mansion three months ago." Reiner revealed the bad news when he came up.
Lin En had already deduced it this morning.
To be valued by [Extraordinary] Quentin, the owner of the mansion must be powerful, or someone of his kind who is stronger than him.
Now that it is confirmed that the other party has no background, the result can only be the worst, that is, the owner of the mansion is also the cleaning staff.
In addition, the time when the life trajectory of a cleaner without background undergoes a major change is usually close to the time when he becomes a cleaner.
Judging from the time when he purchased the mansion, this person became a cleaning staff at least three months ago. He has completed four to five more extraordinary-level tasks than Quentin, and is basically the same as Reiner's qualifications.
"It's not easy to deal with." Reiner's expression was stern. "At my level, there are almost always unexpected back-ups. So fighting against an extraordinary person with my qualifications is very risky, and the results are unpredictable. What's more,
, this is still the lowest estimate, maybe his qualifications are more senior than mine."
For Reiner to comment like this, it seems that it is impossible to do it as easily as a sword.
Lin En was also a little unwilling, and decided to take advantage of the time when Boss Xin and his gang were having fun, and Quentin would not come back until midnight, to find out for himself: "Let's go over together and have a look. If it doesn't work, we'll put it on hold."
Choose one of the two options: "The plan here is a long-term one" or "Instruct Boss Xin and his gang to attack us proactively, and then take advantage of the situation and kill them all in one go."
