Embers Ad Infinitum

ose monks often only have a vague hint in their prophecies.
It’s very normal to make mistakes during interpretation.”

Although Theodore’s previous mistakes would definitely be exposed if they relied on the prophecy to capture October Xue and Zhang Qubing’s team, he still spoke his mind, not letting his expectations affect his judgment.

“It seems like we have to wait here until midnight.” Konstanz looked around.
“Bring over all the surveillance footage from before.
We might be able to find the details that the prophecy points to.
We don’t have anything to do anyway.”

After they ‘took over’ the parking lot because of the prophecy, the Hand of Order mobilized supplies and replaced all the broken cameras with intact ones.

“Alright.” Theodore rubbed his eyes.
He couldn’t move his eyes, so it was easy for him to get eye fatigue.

At this moment, the wall-like Sheriff Wall returned to the room.

“How was it? Did you find anything from your line?” asked Konstanz.

Wall nodded.
“We can now confirm that the person October Xue and Zhang Qubing saved on the street is problematic.
From various feedback, he’s suspected to be an intelligence agent of a particular faction.”

“Caught anyone?” Theodore perked up.

Wall sighed and shook his head.
“He appeared this morning, but nobody has seen him since.”

“It seems like he received a warning.” Konstanz nodded slightly.

Wall then said, “However, I found someone who has a complicated background with him.
That person’s name is Old K—he has connections with a few Elders and many nobles.
On the surface, he’s a merchant who does imports and exports.
He has business dealings with the White Knights, United Industries, and the Salvation Army.
I don’t know what he’s actually doing for the time being.

“The person October Xue and Zhang Qubing saved is called Giuseppe.
He was once Old K’s assistant and won his deep trust.
Later, he slept with Old K’s mistress and jumped ship to his competitor, Red Shirt Army.”

“Old K actually didn’t try to kill him?” Konstanz—who roamed the circle of noblewomen all year round—teased with a smile.

Wall laughed.
“Why do you think October Xue and Zhang Qubing saved him? Yes, I’ll find him as soon as possible.”

Konstanz nodded.
“If we can figure out which faction he works for, the entire matter will become very clear.”

At this point, Konstanz looked at Theodore, who was still observing the parking lot.
He raised his right hand and said, “Get something to eat first.
We’ll look at the surveillance footage later and wait for the workers who are investigating the vehicle’s source to return.
Sigh, I hope we can gain something.”

…

At 7 p.m., the Old Task Force moved all their weapons and supplies to the cars.

In order to express their calmness, they didn’t let Han Wanghuo and Zeng Duo separate.
Instead, they allowed the other party to drive the dark SUV.
They only sent Genava over to help—if not, the jeep filled with all kinds of things wouldn’t have space for sitting.

Jiang Baimian looked at Slumber Cat that sometimes jogged in the shadows of the street and sometimes walked on the roofs of the buildings.
She stepped on the accelerator and started the car.

She didn’t let Bai Chen drive because Slumber Cat would often travel through the streets unseen in order to avoid humans.
One could only rely on bioelectric sensing and mutated biological consciousness to locate it.

Therefore, only she and Shang Jianyao could take turns driving.

The two cars drove out of the Golden Grain Zone and headed north.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Baimian heaved a sigh of relief.
This was because she didn’t know the extent the Hand of Order’s temporary checkpoints had been set up to.
She believed that there was a high risk of exposure if they headed in the direction of Antanna Street and the Factory Zone.

Just like that, they passed through the Red Wolf Zone and entered the Green Olive Zone.
Finally, under the illumination of the street lamps, they saw a familiar area.

West Port!

First City’s West Port!

At this moment, many ships were docked at the edge of the Red River.
Warehouses and containers were stacked quietly in the darkness.
From time to time, port guards patrolled the area.

Slumber Cat jumped out of the shadows by the roadside and walked gracefully toward Pier 1 with its proud head up.

Its so-called path is here? This thought flashed across Long Yuehong’s mind.
