"Did you encounter any problems at work?"
Sitting on a bench in the amusement park with Sakura, the little girl named Ling looked worried.
Although she didn't know what the person on the phone said, it was obvious from her sister's frowning expression that it was not a good thing.
Touching Ling's forehead with her palm, Ying smiled and explained:
"How could that be? It's just that I'm going on a long trip and will be away for a while."
"But don't worry. I'll leave today and be back the day after tomorrow morning at the latest."
"You must eat well at home and don't open the door to strangers..."
Her face instantly turned depressed, Ling responded with a forced smile:
"I'm not a child anymore, don't worry, sister. I can take care of myself!"
Half an hour later, after visiting the amusement park, Ying reluctantly sent Ling back home.
Before leaving, she glanced around and, as expected, found several surveillance personnel.
Carrying a long wooden box on her back, Ying got on the Poison Pupa Organization's special car and headed towards the base.
A few hours later, when the helicopter completed its landing, she had a very bad impression of the weathered land beneath her feet.
As an elite agent, Ying could tell at a glance from the traces in the mud that a battle had broken out here before.
Of course, because she had read information about Huanghun Street, she had a psychological expectation of the "simple folk customs" here.
"One deep, one shallow, and one hanging at the back."
"A young man, about 1.85m tall, and two young girls, the taller one a little over 1.6m tall."
Bending down, Sakura determined the general information of one of the parties from the footprints, and suddenly frowned:
"No animal would leave such strange footprints."
"It seems like another monster from a laboratory has escaped and is causing harm to others."
"No wonder I was asked to investigate. This is no longer an ordinary incident."
Suddenly, Sakura's ears moved, as if she heard danger coming.
Almost in the blink of an eye, she stepped back and avoided the huge net that fell from the sky.
Then, several gang members raised their guns and warned:
"The mayor has ordered that strangers like you are forbidden from approaching the river!"
"Behave yourself and come with us, or we'll feed you bullets!"
11. Sakura's Bizarre Adventure
Putting the ice-blue long sword into the box, Ying looked at the few people she had knocked unconscious and realized that something was wrong:
"It's really strange. When did a mayor appear here?"
"According to Poison Pupa's information, isn't Dusk Street a lawless area ruled by the Three Dragons?"
In that instant, her intuition, which had been wandering in the darkness for many years, made her keenly aware of—
The extra mayor must be the core target of this investigation mission.
"If the information collected by Poison Pupa has been misleading, then the other party is definitely not an ordinary person."
"To be able to hide from the eyes of these agents, that guy must have either reached an agreement with someone or is extremely powerful."
"But no matter what the situation is, this mission is very troublesome."
Ying took out a set of rustic clothes from the piano case and put them on herself to cover up her originally curvy figure.
She tied her hair into a bun with a rubber band and put on a work hat to hide her shoulder-length hair.
Her original dressing style of black hot pants with a white shirt and a gradient jacket can provide a good camouflage effect in big cities, so people will not associate her with an agent.
But when she arrived at the wilderness town, this outfit made Sakura look out of place in the environment.
Since she had been noticed to be unusual by the locals before, she was almost certain that there was something wrong with her attire.
After injecting several potions into the guards, Ying had no good feelings towards the leader of the Poison Pupa, but was very satisfied with these props.
After the drug takes effect, these people will forget some of their memories and will only think that they overslept and will basically not have any other suspicions.
As for why they weren't killed once and for all, Ying knew it very well:
Her mission this time was to infiltrate and investigate, not to annihilate or assassinate.
Killing a few guards will inevitably alert more guards later, which is basically not worth the loss.
If she goes on a killing spree, there is a high possibility that her identity will be exposed, which will increase the risk of mission failure.
If the mission fails, based on Ying's understanding of the person in charge of the poisonous pupa, not only will she die, but her sister will also disappear from the world.
As for resistance, Ying didn't dare to gamble with her family's lives.
"It's 15:37 PM now, so it's still a while before nightfall."
"Let's go to the town first and check the situation."
After erasing all traces of herself, Ying headed straight towards the town.
On the way, she was like a transparent ghost, easily avoiding the guards' sight and blending into the streets from the north of the town.
But what surprised her was that the streets were so crowded that it was difficult to move forward.
In the center of the crowd, many tattooed gang members were holding loudspeakers to maintain order:
"Say it one last time!"
"The mayor said that anyone who has worked at Twilight Street, even if you're from outside, can at least get a room and a living room!"
"Those who have documents, go to the building and line up. Those who don't have documents, then line up and wait for us to check!"
After hearing this, Ying was stunned for a moment.
She really didn't expect that such a good thing could happen in this remote place.
As for the house in the city, I still have a few years of mortgage payments to pay off, so I dare not spend money recklessly.
Ling's school is in the city center. Compared with those strange and expensive fees, Ying sometimes feels:
The speed at which you make money by working as a killer or taking on commissions from agents is not as efficient as those people.
“No wonder there are so many people that it’s hard to move.”
"Good things will definitely be rushed to do."
After figuring out the situation, Ying quietly retreated in the opposite direction of the crowd.
Twenty minutes later, she had walked through the town without incident and collected the information she wanted.
From the information she gathered from various shops, taverns, and other crowded places, Sakura came across a fact that was beyond her comprehension:
The Three Dragons Society, the underworld king that had dominated Twilight Street for over a decade, was suddenly overthrown in a single day!
Before coming, she had specifically looked up information about the Poison Pupa and learned that the Three Dragons Society was an extra-staff organization supported by that scumbag minister.
But even with the advantage of overwhelming equipment, the Three Dragons Club was still quickly defeated in half a day.
This made Ying suddenly alert - at this moment, she was very suspicious of the mayor's true identity.
Although she was a temporary worker, Ying still knew that the Poison Pupa Secret Force was just a subsidiary of another organization.
And that organization is filled with all kinds of inhuman monster members.
If the scumbag minister's deeds were discovered by the people above, then this so-called mayor would most likely be here to clean up the mess.
Only in this way can we explain why an outsider would spare no effort to rebuild Dusk Street.
This must be Fire Moth's compensation to Dusk Street!
After figuring this out, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief:
"If that scumbag is gone, it would be a good thing for me."
"But I have to go meet the mayor first to prevent my guess from being wrong."
Thinking of this, Ying strode straight towards the sanatorium.
She learned from the locals that the mayor's temporary office was set up near the sanatorium.
The building that stood out from the crowd was allocated by the other party to homeless vagrants as a place to stay.
If Sakura hadn't heard someone else say it before, she would have almost gone in the wrong direction.
Ten minutes later, Ying stopped near a three-story building and began to scout the area.
After observing for a long time, she was very sure:
There is basically no one coming to this place, no security guards on duty, and not even a single surveillance camera can be seen.
In Sakura's eyes, the defense measures here are almost zero.
When it got dark, Ying took advantage of no one noticing and easily slipped into the backyard.
Carefully climbing up to the second floor, she suddenly heard a snoring sound.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Sakura suddenly saw a cat-like girl sleeping lazily on the front desk.
With a subtle expression, she did not alarm the other party and continued walking towards the third floor.
Just as she finished walking up the stairs, Sakura heard a strange noise.
With her ear pressed against the office door, she tried to eavesdrop:
"Aponia, is this why you tricked Alicia into going to the sanatorium?"
"Lord Mingyue, please forgive my selfishness."
"You should know that I'm not that kind of person."
"Of course I know. You are just like the Son of God in church legends, spreading your light to the world."
Realizing that she had touched a big melon, Ying slowed down her breathing and didn't dare to make any noise.
At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind -
What important deal is the owner of the nursing home planning to make with this man?
Otherwise, there would be no need to deliberately send people away.
The next second, Sakura got the answer:
"Aponya, help the nursing home. This is what we agreed to, and I will keep my promise."
"The children are willing to trust you, and so am I. But Master Mingyue, I know better—a transaction requires equal value."
"...Do you think there's something wrong with my treatment of the nursing home?"
"How could that be, Master Mingyue? I just want you to be more fair to the children."
Afterwards, the two people in the room stopped talking. Sakura only heard a swallowing sound coming from Aponiya after the zipper was opened.
Her expression was calm. After working for so many years, Ying was already accustomed to the communication methods used by important figures.
In other words, Ming Yue and Aponya's little tricks were not enough to make her feel disturbed at all.
After listening attentively for twenty minutes, Sakura ran into trouble herself before the two people inside could reach a conclusion.
"Hey, look what I found~"
"A beautiful girl with the same hair color as me!"
"But, my strange friend, what are you doing now?"
"Ayue didn't tell me that he found a new secretary~"
12. Sakura: I predicted your prediction
After hearing this, Sakura realized that she had met an extremely formidable opponent before she even turned around.
She knew very well that—
Even if I am distracted, I can still react immediately if there is any movement on the stairs.
