Chapter 173: Plan Goes Well! The Chicken Steal Successfully!

That night.

The bright moon hangs high.

Adding water to the pond in the courtyard, the water hitting the pond wall, makes a crisp, hollow, tapping sound.

It made the whole night even more tranquil.

Lin Yi was given a Japanese-style room closest to the Kobayashi family's ancestral home, just as he had hoped, thanks to the delighted Kobayashi Masahiro.

Nangong Ling lay on the tatami mat, her two fair legs still twitching happily.

It was clearly for her.

Sleeping on the floor in this kind of room is a unique experience.

Neither of them actually went to sleep.

They were waiting for their contact to arrive.

Sure enough, it happened right when the moon was high in the sky.

Just as the night breeze was beginning to carry a chill, a soft knock sounded at the door.

Then, an aged voice rang out.

"Young Master Itsujiro."

"It's late at night. After drinking this bowl of nourishing medicine, go to sleep."

Nangong Ling gave Lin Yi a look and nodded.

He then closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep.

Lin Yi got up and pushed open the wooden door.

Outside, an old man was kneeling, holding a bowl of steaming medicinal soup.

"His name is Koga Kyoichi, and he is ostensibly one of the butlers and servants of the Kobayashi family."

"But his real identity is one of ours. Just call him Uncle He. He has been infiltrating the Lin family for 20 years."

"It was Uncle He who told us that Kobayashi Itsujiro was going back to his hometown; otherwise, you would have missed such a great opportunity."

Lin Yi heard Nangong Ling's voice in his mind.

He glanced at He Bo, who remained respectful and showed no sign of revealing his true intentions.

I sighed in my heart.

These are true unsung heroes.

He Bo's strength is not strong, only around level 5, and his profession is also mediocre.

With such limited strength, it's hard to imagine how much caution and prudence one must have needed to remain hidden in an enemy country for over 20 years.

Lin Yi took the herbal medicine handed to him by Uncle He.

Only then did Uncle He dare to raise his head and say with a smile, "Young Master, please drink it while it's hot."

"If it gets cold, the medicine will be wasted."

"This old servant will take his leave for now."

He Bo bowed to Lin Yi again and left.

"This is a code."

"The entrance to the Jiangyuan dungeon is in the basement of the Kobayashi family's ancestral home."

"However, the ancestral home is always guarded by experts from the Japanese mainland and the Kobayashi family's main branch."

"Luo Xiao told me about it."

"If Uncle He brings over hot soup, it means the plan has failed and we need to find another time to act."

"If what's being served is medicine, it means the plan has succeeded. Those experts guarding the ancestral home have had their vigilance lowered by him using special drugs."

"Telling you to drink it while it's hot means that you should set off immediately."

"The duration of the medicine's effects is roughly the same as the time it takes for the bowl of medicine to cool down."

Lin Yi nodded upon hearing this.

Put down the herbal medicine.

She quietly walked out of the room.

On the way to Kobayashi's ancestral home, there are corridors and intersecting rooms everywhere.

Lin Yi estimated that the entire Lin family probably numbered in the hundreds.

However, the lights in these rooms were mostly off.

Most people had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Lin Yi encountered no obstacles.

This demonstrates that Herbert is efficient and decisive in his work.

After turning a corner, the view suddenly opened up before me.

A shrine building with a strong Japanese style, featuring hanging beams and corners, appeared before Lin Yi's eyes.

at the same time.

Around the entire ancestral hall, there were more than a dozen imposing Kobayashi family guards with samurai swords hanging at their waists.

Lin Yi was taken aback.

He thought that Herbert was using special drugs or something like sleeping powder.

They were drugged and knocked unconscious.

But now it seems.

It's different from what I expected.

Surprisingly, all of these guards were fully conscious.

But he was completely blind, not seeing himself at all.

Nangong Ling's voice echoed in Lin Yi's mind. "Stop daydreaming, go inside!"

"The medicine that Herbert gave them only temporarily reduced their mental strength so that I could use illusions to conceal your presence."

"These guards are very strong and have undergone professional training. Once the effects of the drug wear off, you will be exposed!"

Lin Yi heard this.

My heart trembled.

So that’s it!
Yes, I'll just use illusion magic to erase my figure from the guards' sight.

It's definitely much better than using sleeping gas to knock them down.

The guard fell into a coma.

If anyone else saw it, they would be extremely wary.

It's not impossible that they might even sound an alarm.

Lin Yi tried his best not to make any sound.

They passed several guards at lightning speed and arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall's gates were tightly shut, but this couldn't stop Lin Yi.

The sudden flash of lightning was too loud.

The combination of lightning and thunder would definitely give us away.

Fortunately, Lin Yi had previously managed to get some benefits from the chubby Feng Sanyou.

The winding path and leaping technique are used.

An abnormal spatial region enveloped Lin Yi's entire body.

Because this time he chose only himself as his target, the scope involved and the number of people transferred were extremely small.

So it was only a very short time later.

Lin Yi had already passed through the gate and was teleported to the back of the gate.

The hall that came into view was filled with countless memorial tablets and statues of gods, but Lin Yi had no interest in looking at them.

He soon discovered that, sure enough, there was a staircase leading directly underground next to the wall of statues.

We descended to the bottom of the stairs.

A huge stone gate appeared before Lin Yi, with intricate inscriptions and symbols carved on it.

The unique aura of Jiangyuan continuously emanated from the cracks in the stone gate.

Lin Yi took out the invitation letter for the Night of Terror from his personal space.

The palm touched the stone door.

However, the next moment, Lin Yi suddenly heard the sound of countless mechanisms turning in the darkness.

Lin Yi was startled.

Oh no, we've been discovered?
But nothing happened the next moment.

The entire underground space remained cold and deathly silent.

Only that stone door, upon contact with the aura emanating from the invitation in Lin Yi's hand,...

One by one, the intricate symbols on the stone gate lit up.

Above the stone gate is a demon skull mark indicating the dungeon difficulty.

Two lights also lit up.

Then, the stone door slowly opened, and a strong aura of the abyss blew out from behind the door, making Lin Yi feel a chill all over his body.

The next moment, Lin Yi felt a suction force emanating from behind the stone door. Before he could even take a step, he was pulled into the instance.

……

at the same time.

All the lights in every room of the Lin family's house were turned on.

Woof woof woof! !

All of Kobayashi's hunting dogs were brought out and a thorough search began.

Masahiro Kobayashi did this just before Lin Yi entered the instance, at the very moment the mechanism was triggered.

He received the message.

Arriving at the entrance of the rented house and ancestral hall, they saw a group of servants and guards kneeling on the ground, begging for forgiveness.

His fists were clenched tightly, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Master of the family..."

"The duplicate stone door in the basement of the ancestral hall is open...!"

"Someone definitely went in just now!"

"We searched every room around the ancestral hall, but we couldn't find Young Master Itsujiro or his concubine..."

A subordinate reported cautiously.

"Baka—!!!"

Masahiro Kobayashi roared, his eyes turning bloodshot!

He never expected that his second son, on whom he had just placed so much hope, would...

It turned out to be a person from Great Xia in disguise!
Several days earlier, he had received a message from high-ranking officials in Honshu, Japan.

It is said that there is a young genius in the Great Xia Dynasty who may need to complete this dungeon to continue his journey down the abyss.

Make them more vigilant.

For this reason, Masahiro Kobayashi took it very seriously and even set up traps at the entrance of the dungeon.

However, he never expected that even with all the precautions he took, it was hard to guard against a thief within his own ranks!
Not only was there a mole in the house.

That cunning Xia man even disguised himself as his second son and successfully entered the instance!
