"Come in," the colonel said.

The door was pushed open, and a man in casual clothes with wet shoulders strode forward, pulling a white envelope from his pocket.

He then placed the envelope on the yew wood tabletop.

"Colonel, during my surveillance of Lu Ye, I noticed that he suddenly went to the post office, preparing to mail this letter."

Where should I send it?

"I haven't looked at it."

The colonel frowned as he picked up the letter, then suddenly his eyes widened.

He seemed to sense something was wrong and hurriedly opened the envelope.

After taking out the letter and quickly scanning its contents, the colonel frowned even more deeply.

"what happened?"

Dietfrey asked, looking somewhat nervous.

He rarely saw the colonel make such an expression, and every time the colonel did, something bad was bound to happen.

"That kid tricked me."

"What does the letter say?" Dietfried asked.

"Nothing else, just a letter from home."

The colonel handed it over with the letter tucked inside.

"A letter from home?"

Could a letter from home cause you this much panic?

Dietfrey curiously took the letter, but there was nothing special inside.

It was just an ordinary family letter, telling parents not to worry and so on.

“It’s just an ordinary letter, with no hidden words, and the paper and ink haven’t been specially treated…” Dietfried had considerable experience in this area. “Let’s return the letter; it wouldn’t be good to attract that kid’s attention.”

"Return it?" The colonel lit a cigarette. "Check the mailing address."

Dietfried looked at the envelope and froze.

The address for this letter home is not in the East, but here, in the military camp!

"This……"

Dietfried was a little confused about why this letter had been sent here.

The colonel waved his hand: "Go and tell the other person to come back. There's no need to monitor him."

"Yes." The soldier left the room.

Soon, only the two people remained in the room.

"Could you please explain?" Dietfried asked.

“The informant I planted has been discovered,” the colonel said slowly, taking a drag on his cigarette. “This is a warning, and I should stop monitoring him.”

Dietfrey frowned, his face looking rather grim.

It should be noted that the soldiers dispatched by the colonel were highly skilled; they came from intelligence agencies, and disguise and stealth intelligence gathering were always their forte.

But in less than a few hours, that kid named Lu Ye noticed it... That guy is really something else.

"Alright, Dietfried, you should go and get some rest. You still have to be there for tomorrow's test," the colonel said.

Dietrich said nothing, placed the letter on the table, bowed slightly, and left the room.

Autumn has arrived, and the nights are getting a bit chilly.

The fireplace crackled and popped as firewood burned, its light illuminating the colonel's menacing face.

He took out the gold pocket watch from his pocket and took out the faded, yellowed photograph from it.

Looking at the group of young men and women in the photo, the colonel showed a nostalgic expression.

“My dear old friends, I’ve found another one… I don’t know whose daughter she is, but she’s very beautiful.”

"This will be over soon, just give me a little more time..."

Chapter 55 Doppelganger

Meanwhile, at the port of Leiden.

"Three gold coins, 800 crowns, deal."

Lu Ye readily paid the money, saying, "Don't lose it."

"How could that be? We lock up all the goods; they won't get lost."

"Then I won't bother you any longer, goodbye."

Side Quest: Completed

[Reward: 1000 points]

[Achievement Completed: First Use of Protoss Power]

[Reward: 500 points]

Lu Ye smiled slightly.

Thanks to Violet, he finally discovered a way to use the Celestial Shards.

Lu Ye was initially somewhat troubled.

It's obvious to anyone with their eyes closed that the old fox, the colonel, would definitely have someone monitor him.

The goods sent out like this would never leave Leiden; they would probably be intercepted on the way.

Based on the timeline, the sentry must have arrived after Violet and I returned to the hotel that night.

Because he had told Violet to be on the lookout for anyone following her.

She didn't notice anything unusual until she returned to the hotel after watching the fireworks.

Therefore, the sentries responsible for tracking could only be on duty at night, so that the timing would match up.

Since the colonel only landed at noon, he needed some time to mobilize trusted personnel.

There was a plan, but it couldn't be implemented well because of the surveillance.

Lu Ye couldn't help but start thinking of other schemes, until the moment he put the ring on Violet's finger...

The element that activates a Protoss Fragment is a strong will, or rather, a desire.

Before this, Lu Ye had tried various methods, but the Protoss fragments became dull and lifeless shortly after leaving the Colonel.

But at that moment, Lu Ye successfully activated the fragment.

That's how he eventually managed to get rid of those watchers.

Before leaving the bar, he went to the restroom and summoned his clone.

The one who went to the post office with the white envelope was the clone, while Lu Ye himself slipped away through the back door a few minutes later and then went to the dock.

The letter sent from the post office was meant to warn the colonel that, as partners, they should be treated with respect.

The letter that the deliveryman took away just now was Lu Ye's plan.

Raiden's fate was none of his concern, so after obtaining the Colonel's Protoss fragment, his next stop was Verdon.

That letter was his "pass" to Versailles.

The authenticity of the "third Protoss fragment" mentioned by the colonel remains questionable.

In any case, given the current situation, Leiden will soon be defeated, and it won't be too late to get the real information from the colonel then.

"If I'm not mistaken, the colonel should be on his way to the hotel... There should be enough time."

Lu Ye took out the Star Spirit Fragment.

At this moment, it has completely lost its luster and seems to have turned into a cold, lifeless stone.

But this seems to be a normal phenomenon, because the energy it contains has become Lu Ye's clone.

Once the clone is dispelled, its energy will flow back into the Protoss fragment.

Incidentally, the clone can share the same field of vision as the main body, but it must be actively activated, and it is one-way.

Once Lu Ye activates the clone's vision, he will lose his own vision.

However, the clone has a certain "setting". As long as the goal of the clone is set in advance, it will complete a certain thing according to the predetermined goal.

Of course, the clone will do that thing according to the original body's method, but whether it can be completed is another matter.

Lu Ye felt that the colonel had really gone all out.

In order to get her to help him complete his so-called "plan," she didn't hesitate to hand over the Protoss fragments.

However, given the Colonel's personality, did he realize that he had already used the Protoss shard?

Given his level of caution, wouldn't he know that he might use "fragments" to cover his tracks?

Lu Ye couldn't quite understand it.

But that's not a problem, because the items have already been sent out.

All that's left is to wait for time and a small opportunity.

…………

The light drizzle began to intensify, and the number of pedestrians lingering because of the fireworks quickly decreased.

In contrast, the street vendors quickly packed up their stalls and dispersed with their food carts.

Soon, the streets were deserted.

Lu Ye quickened his pace on the way back.

When I returned to the hotel, there were no waiters in the lobby, only a receptionist at the front desk who was dozing off.

But Lu Ye stopped climbing the stairs.
