Chapter 254: Pursuit (3)

The female thief who rescued Josha, Ryan's new thief companion Sophie, burst out laughing after hearing Faras ask this question. She replied: "Of course, otherwise what would I do?"

Are you here to take care of this business?"

"Have you been following that guy?" Petra, Farasi's adjutant, asked hurriedly.

Of course Sophie understood the meaning of Petra's question, but she didn't intend to say it. Sophie, who was once one of the top killer groups of a mainland killer group, certainly had her own unique skills, otherwise how could it be possible?

How about living till now? It's just that Sophie doesn't want to say this kind of thing, because she hopes that she can forget her previous experience and start her life again. If Ryan hadn't spoken, Sophie would never have returned to her old career.

Seeing Sophie smiling and saying nothing, Petra felt anxious, because she would never allow people or forces beyond her control to appear, otherwise Sophie would suddenly sneak into Farasi's mansion one day, and the fun would be nothing more than that.

It was too big, so Petra took a step forward and continued to ask: "Why, you dare not say it?"

"Enough!" Faras shouted angrily, making Petra stand back obediently. After staring deeply at Sophie for a few times, Faras spoke again: "Ryan, does he know everything?

Can you tell me what he is doing?"

"I'm really sorry, Miss Faras." Sophie had the same thoughts as Vivian, so she didn't dare to offend Faras anyway, so Sophie had always been quite polite to Faras, even

I'm a little scared, but Sophie really doesn't know

She had no choice but to tell the truth about what Lane was doing: "It's like this. A few days ago, Mr. Lane suddenly ordered me to follow Yusha and protect her as much as possible. But I can't enter your mansion.

, we can only arrange personnel to monitor it outside."

"I understand, when Josha left, you got the information and have been following her, right?" Faras asked.

"Yes, Miss Faras." Sophie replied honestly.

"You are so amazing. The two magisters couldn't even detect your existence with their 'magic eyes'. Sophie, your performance is really refreshing to me." Farasi said lightly, but Sophie

You can still hear a little bit of praise in her tone.

"You praised me, I just did this trivial thing." Sophie didn't dare to take credit. After all, this matter involved the trust issue between Ryan and Faras, and it was not like she would get into trouble.

"Sir!" The voice of one of Farasi's subordinates came from outside the room: "The target has escaped from the well. Do you want to continue the pursuit?"

Faras did not reply immediately after hearing the report, but turned his attention to Sophie, and then said to Sophie: "What is Ryan's plan? Do we still need to continue the pursuit?"

Sophie shook her head quickly and said: "I really don't know, Miss Faras, the order I got was to monitor and protect Jessa. I really don't know anything else. And after receiving this order, I never saw her again."

Lane, and have not received any new instructions from him."

Farasi sighed softly. What she was most worried about had finally happened. However, the plan had been implemented to this point. If it were stopped, all the previous efforts would be wasted. So Farasi had to give the order with a wry smile: "Close the Internet cafe."

, you can catch as many fish as you can. Also, Petra, please personally lead people to remove all the strongholds of the resistance organizations that we already know."

"Follow your orders!" If Petra still doesn't understand that Faras is sparing her and does not intend to let herself take the responsibility, she is not worthy of Faras's adjutant. Although Petra intends to explain a few words, but for Faras

After all, it was not convenient for her to talk about personal matters, so she could only carry out the order silently.

Watching her subordinates leave one after another, Faras couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the past, she and Ryan had nothing to hide from each other. Unexpectedly, because of this inexplicable woman, Josha, a crack appeared between the two. This is terrible.

This is definitely not what Faras wants. What she wants to do most right now is to find Ryan immediately and explain to him in person, hoping to get his understanding. But where is Ryan now?

"Damn, damn, you stinky bitch!" The apprentice endured the rotten smell of the sewer and ran forward quickly, one foot at a time. He originally planned to switch to an adventurer to serve and go directly to the lively street.

There are at least a hundred thousand people wearing adventurer costumes in the imperial capital, and no matter how powerful the Public Security Department is, they can't even hope to find him in a short time.

But the apprentice never expected that a female assassin would be following him all the time and rescued Josha at the critical moment. Moreover, people from the Public Security Department also arrived very quickly. This only meant one thing, and that was him.

His whereabouts are basically under the control of the other party.

In this case, the apprentices no longer dare to go to the organization's secret contact point to connect, but choose to escape through the sewers. The sewers under the ground of the Imperial Capital extend in all directions, connecting almost the entire city. However, within 200 years after the city was built,

There has been almost no effort to clean the sewers. In other words, the current sewers are not only pitch black and difficult to distinguish, but if you are not familiar with the route and direction, you may get lost in it and never get out.

Fortunately, the apprentice had obtained a rough distribution map of the imperial capital's sewers before. Although it was rudimentary, the apprentice still memorized it in his heart and used it just in time. After the apprentice slid down the well, he immediately dived into the water.

He jumped into the sewer from the previously arranged passage. He was soaked now. Naturally, he couldn't get a torch out. He just took out a bright pearl from his body and used the faint light emitted by the pearl to identify the surrounding environment.

Soon, the apprentice turned to the left. He clearly remembered that as long as he ran forward for about three streets, then turned to the left and walked a few hundred meters, he would reach a more open place, and then he would be there.

You can find a place to go out, and that exit should be deep in an alley in another block.

Even though the apprentice was full of energy, he still felt short of breath after running for more than ten minutes. This was not entirely because he exercised a lot, but also had a lot to do with the poor air circulation in the sewer. The apprentice had no choice but to slow down.

Walk slowly to regain your strength.

"Hoo! Hoo!" The apprentice walked forward while wearing rough clothes, holding up the pearl. This kind of bead is quite precious. The most rare thing is that it can shine completely naturally. It has nothing to do with magic at all, and it can even not be affected by a certain person.

Some detection magic arrays have been detected, but in this way, the light they emit is very limited. With the eyesight of an apprentice, he can barely see clearly the blurry environment around him that is only half a meter away.

"Pa!" A soft sound came to the apprentice's ears. The sudden occurrence of such a sound in such a quiet environment was indeed suspicious, and the moment the apprentice heard the sound, he immediately put his fingers together and held the pearl tightly.

Holding it in the palm of his hand, the faint light suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The apprentice stopped and listened, hoping to find out where the sound was coming from. The whole sewer was quiet, and the apprentice could only hear his own heartbeat and the faint sound of breathing that was suppressed.

After more than ten minutes, I heard a second sound coming from the corner in front: "Pop!"

The apprentice frowned, gently raised his right foot, then took a step forward very slowly, and then gently put it down. The whole process did not make any sound at all, and then the apprentice continued to lift his left foot.

, moving forward in the same way...

This walking method is quite slow, but it does not make any noise. The apprentice is determined to call out the person who made the noise. He will never allow himself to be followed again. It is not just a matter of his own self-esteem.

, it is also related to the safety of the entire organization's stronghold in the imperial capital.

In ten minutes, the apprentice had advanced no more than twenty steps. The person making the noise at the corner seemed not to be aware of the apprentice's presence at all. He still made a "pop" sound quite regularly every few minutes. The apprentice slowly calmed down.

Slowly walking forward, listening vigilantly to the noises from all sides, he made up his mind that if anything unusual happened,

He immediately ran away without hesitation, but it was still quiet all around. Not to mention the sound, there was no sound of the heartbeat. A person can stay still and suppress his breathing frequency, but he cannot control his heartbeat.

, so the apprentice is quite relieved, he is sure that he will not fall into someone else's trap.

Just as the apprentice slowly approached the corner, a sudden sharp pain came from the back of his head. His body almost fell limply and uncontrollably to the ground. Then a pair of cold hands firmly grasped the apprentice's ankle, and then

Pulling him forward like this, the apprentice's back of the head had been severely injured, and now it was rubbing against the ground, causing him to scream in pain. This painful sound echoed throughout the sewer space, making people shudder.

"Very good, someone actually came to my door. I haven't found fresh materials for a long time." A low and cold male voice came into the apprentice's ears. This voice made the blood in the apprentice's body feel like it was coagulated. Next,

, another woman's voice rang out: "Okay, let's each take what we need. You come first or I come first."

"You... you... are... who... people?" The apprentice asked his question in a weak voice. He didn't understand what happened to the guy who slapped him in the back.

Avoiding his own listening, his apprentice was absolutely sure that he could hear all the sounds within a few dozen meters in this environment, such as the human heartbeat. However, he was completely unaware of the existence of that person from beginning to end.

It's as if that person doesn't exist at all.
