Chapter 401 Come, let’s kill each other!
There was a lot of noise outside the door. Dorothy listened carefully for a while before she confirmed, "There's a party outside. The scene of that day is being recreated here."
Recreating scenes from the past is not impossible for a place where the rules have changed and is different from the normal material world.
Mo Cheng immediately became alert, "If it is a re-enactment of the scene of that day, then I am not present in that scene."
"The same is true for the me of today. I just heard the servants discussing something about me. It's obvious that there is another me here."
Dorothy was very decisive. "Don't meet with the others. Let's go to the city lord's room to look for clues. Don't worry about anything else. First, find out where the instruments are hidden. Then we can investigate the cause of the city lord's death and where the killers came from."
The delegation died and only Dorothy was left, but she still planned to take the instruments back. She knew how much the academy paid for the research on [Elemental Mages].
Moreover, as the leader of the delegation, the death of members of the delegation was not a big deal, but the failure to bring back the equipment was a problem.
After all, the most important task this time is to bring back the batch of seized instruments.
Either the instrument is brought back intact, or half of Napa Harbor is sent flying.
Mo Cheng was not familiar with what happened that night, so he wisely handed the leadership to Dorothy.
The two waited for a while, during which time Mo Cheng used [Ghost Walk] to observe from outside, and then he seized the opportunity to bring Dorothy out.
Mo Cheng first used the [Seventy-Two Transformations] to change his appearance into that of a noble in luxurious dress. Dorothy did not need to disguise herself because she was a guest at the banquet.
The two met many servants and nobles along the way, but they just nodded to them politely. It was obvious that Mo Cheng and Dorothy's appearance here was not a surprise.
Under Dorothy's guidance, the two consciously avoided others and came to the city lord's study.
The door was locked. Mo Cheng first released his perception, and after making sure that there was no one inside, he pulled out a strand of his hair and then infused it with holy light to transform it into a long, hard needle.
He pushed his hair into the keyhole a few times, and with a "click" sound, the door lock was opened.
"You have quite a lot of skills as a stalker."
Dorothy knew what kind of padlocks were used by the nobles. It was undoubtedly a very difficult task to unlock them easily. That was a skill that only stealth masters had.
And Mo Cheng...
Dorothy could no longer tell what the profession of this man was who wore priest robes, used holy light and magic, and had strong fighting skills.
Even though she now saw that Mo Cheng had good stealth lock-picking skills, Dorothy still felt that it was not a big deal .
"Ah, ah, you have to know that when you are having a tryst with a woman, the little trick of being able to open locked doors and windows with one hand is a very practical skill."
Mo Cheng started making up stories without even turning his head. Dorothy had called him a scumbag many times anyway, so he might as well make up stories to make his character more consistent.
Pushing the door open and walking in, Dorothy started looking through the documents on the desk. There wouldn't be any alarms or traps in this kind of daily office space.
Dorothy flipped through the documents very quickly, checking out ten lines at a glance. There were many documents and they covered all aspects.
As a giant seaport city, the mayor of Napa Harbor has unimaginable amounts of affairs to attend to.
Mo Cheng did not disturb Dorothy. He stood behind the door and quietly released his perception to make sure no one would find out that they were in the study.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
He felt it.
There is a person outside the door with his hand on the door handle, and he can push the door open with just a little force.
But the person outside the door gently loosened his hand and stood in front of the door like Mo Cheng.
Both sides sensed the presence of someone behind the door, but neither side took action.
Because the opponent had already given him an indescribable pressure, just based on this pressure, Mo Cheng could already feel the opponent's strength.
An absolute domineering strength!
"...The power is no less than mine. Is it the strong man in this city lord's mansion? Or the killer on that day? Or... is it just the boss of this [copy] itself?"
The world suddenly became quiet. Mo Cheng could feel the breathing of the person behind the door, as well as the power that rose and fell with that breathing.
The opponent is very strong!
Dorothy behind him was still flipping through the documents. She didn't seem to sense the situation outside the door. Mo Cheng knew that with how powerful the person behind the door was, having Dorothy there would be of no help.
"friend……"
The person behind the door suddenly spoke in a very soft voice that only Mo Cheng could hear, "Did you find what you wanted?"
What is the other party's intention? Is the other party an enemy or a friend?
Mo Cheng didn't know all this, but since the other party spoke first, Mo Cheng was happy to use words to delay time, "I'm sorry, it may take a little time to find it. Is there something you want to find too? Do you want to come in and look for it together?"
The person outside the door could definitely not be the owner of the study, because the study door had been locked before. If the other person was the owner of the study, he should not have touched the handle with his hand, but inserted the key into the keyhole.
"perhaps……"
The person outside the door did not accept Mo Cheng's invitation, but gave another suggestion, "You can tell me what you are looking for, maybe I know it."
"Ah, what I'm looking for is simple."
Although Mo Cheng had a smile on his face, his heart was calm. The conversation between the two sides was just a test. "Maybe you don't believe it, but the owner of this house will die soon. I am here to investigate the murderer who killed him."
"No, I believe it." The man outside the door had no doubts, but his tone was slightly fluctuating. "But I'm curious why you know my next move."
At this moment, Mo Cheng sensed the other party's mind was fluctuating, and he suddenly punched out.
He punched out with great force, like the roar of a ferocious beast, smashing the wooden door and the figure behind the door into pieces.
"Dorothy, have you found it? The murderer has come to our door!"
Mo Cheng looked at the blown-open door with a grim smile, and his muscles began to tense up, his body spontaneously entering the battle warm-up state, "LUCKY, I just happened to run into the guy I wanted to kill, what a lucky guy."
As he spoke, Mo Cheng turned into a storm and blew up the entire mansion. His fists were like sacred mountains descending from the sky, suppressing all living things.
His intuition told him that he had now met the culprit who caused his failure.
So there is only one thing to do next.
"Hahahahaha, come on, let's kill each other!"
