Chen Yifei walked about forty to fifty meters away and suddenly turned around, entering a nearby public toilet.
He naturally saw the meeting information given by the grocery kiosk, but Lingdong Port was so small that he couldn't directly approach the grocery kiosk owner under the watch of the three law enforcement officers and Agent 8.
To meet with that mysterious Twilight Society member, he had to use a more discreet method.
Chen Yifei tailed a lucky boy and, as the boy was about to enter a cubicle, he knocked him unconscious with a hand strike, then dragged the boy and quickly closed the door...
When the door opened again, he had transformed into the boy's appearance.
Chen Yifei adjusted his slightly messy collar, walked out of the toilet, and headed straight for the grocery kiosk.
"Newspapers, magazines, toys, playing cards... Do you need any? If not, I'm off work~"
"Hello, I want to write a letter to my mother..."
Just as the woman was yawning, a childish voice suddenly sounded.
She looked down and saw a pair of innocent big eyes staring at her pitifully.
"Kid, we here..."
"My mother has a heart disease, and I want to give her some hope." Before the woman could speak, the boy continued, "I only have six yuan left. Can I send it?"
Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes flashed with a barely noticeable surprise. She immediately smiled and pushed the paper and pen towards him:
"Of course, you can write it here."
"Thank you."
The boy picked up the pen and rapidly wrote on the paper:
[The Fire Manipulator has infiltrated the team, and the Thief Saint Bai is also hiding in the shadows. Request backup!]
After writing the last word, he immediately folded the paper and handed it to the woman. At the same time, several law enforcement officers hurriedly passed by him and headed towards the port's gathering point.
The law enforcement officers from District Four had arrived.
Seeing this, the boy deeply looked at the woman and immediately headed towards the toilet.
This woman was not a member of the Twilight Society but, like the Xiaofang Grocery Store in District Three, only played a role in information transmission. Although he didn't get to see the member who came to meet him, he knew the woman would definitely pass on his message.
With this, the Twilight Society would also be prepared. They might not send an additional member who could suppress the Thief Saint Bai, but at least they could ensure his safe retreat, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Yifei's heart immediately calmed down.
He returned to the toilet, reverted to his own appearance, and then leisurely walked towards the gathering point...
At the same time,
The woman at the grocery kiosk scanned her surroundings with vigilant eyes. Carefully, she took the paper from under the table and slowly unfolded it... then froze in place.
On the large sheet of paper, there were only two blood-red characters:
——["Die"].
Woman: ???
...
[Audience Expectation +5]
The instant Chen Yifei saw these words, his heart skipped a beat.
An unexpected surge in audience expectation could never be a good thing... This was the experience Chen Yifei had accumulated over time.
Chen Yifei tried to look around for any clues but found nothing. No assassins, no danger. He even walked around the ship for a while, fearing that someone might have secretly opened a large hole in the bottom.
As the law enforcement officers from District Four arrived, the three law enforcement officials summoned everyone to gather and board the ship in order, with each major district boarding in sequence.
"There are so many people from Aurora City... They make up almost half of us," Zhong Yaoguang couldn't help but comment as he saw a large group of law enforcement officers gathered together.
"Normal," another Fire Manipulator replied indifferently, "Aurora City is the core of the Aurora Territory. One city monopolizes 80% of the territory's resources. In the initial design, the seven major districts were meant to serve as outer factories for Aurora City.
It's better to say that they're already doing well by giving so many spots to the seven major districts..."
Chen Yifei followed their gaze and saw a large group of law enforcement officers waiting by the ship, preparing to board. There were at least over thirty people, and they were communicating with each other without even glancing at the law enforcement officers from the surrounding seven major districts. On the contrary, the law enforcement officers from the other major districts looked at them with envious and admiring eyes.
Actually, just from their demeanor, one could see the difference between the law enforcement officers from Aurora City and the others. Every move they made carried a confident aura. Compared to them, the law enforcement officers from the other major districts looked like clumsy bumpkins who happened to wear similar clothes.
And at this moment, among the many law enforcement officers from Aurora City, there were three particularly conspicuous figures.
They were conspicuous because none of them wore the black and red uniforms of law enforcement officers. One wore black clothes and pants, one was adorned with jewels, and one held a folding fan and leisurely waved it in the cold wind.
They stood at the forefront, and no one dared to step half a step closer to them. Even the three law enforcement officials from Aurora City intentionally didn't position themselves to outrank them.
"Who are those three?" one Fire Manipulator asked curiously.
"The one in black clothes and pants should be Lu Xuanming. His father is one of the five seven-stripe law enforcement officers in Aurora City, high in position and powerful. The one with the fan is Pu Wen. It's said that his family is a book deity clan that moved from another territory..."
"A book deity clan? Why are they going into the Ancient Relic of the War God Path?"
"I don't know..."
"What about the one adorned with jewels?"
"He..." Zhong Yaoguang hesitated for a moment, as if he had discovered something. He picked up the newspaper he had just bought and widened his eyes, "I said why he looks so familiar. He's Yan Xicai, the third young master of the Starry Sky Merchant Association."
Everyone's mouths gaped in surprise.
Chen Yifei's eyes narrowed as he deliberately raised his voice and pretended to be shocked, "Is he the one who sleeps with his aunt?"
"Quiet down," the leading Officer 8 frowned, "Don't cause trouble."
At the same time, Lu Xuanming, dressed in black and standing at the forefront of the queue, glanced towards District Three and leisurely said,
"Yan Xicai, your glorious deeds have spread beyond Aurora City... In terms of fame, we indeed can't compare to you."
Yan Xicai's face turned extremely ugly, and he glared fiercely at everyone from District Three.
"Damn it! When I go back, I'll make the Aurora Daily bankrupt! These hypocritical dogs!"
"You'd better really step onto the War God Path first. Otherwise, even if you go back, you'll be expelled from your family."
"What's there to fear? This time, with Brother Pu here, I don't believe I can't walk onto the deity path..."
"Alright, let's get on the ship."
As the law enforcement officers from Aurora City boarded the ship first, the others followed suit. Compared to the number of people from the other major districts, the eight people from Districts Three, Five, and Six combined seemed somewhat modest.
After confirming that the number of people was correct, one of the law enforcement officials nodded slightly, signaling the ship to depart. With a rumbling whistle, the ship slowly sailed towards the center of the Frozen Sea.
Just as Chen Yifei stepped onto the ship, he heard an irresistible voice coming from the center of the deck.
"Hey, you!"
Chen Yifei turned around and saw Yan Xicai standing there with a gloomy face, beckoning him,
"Yes, I'm talking to you... Come here."
Seeing Chen Yifei being called by Yan Xicai, it wasn't Chen Yifei who was the most tense, but the nearby Fire Manipulators. They were startled and suddenly had a bad premonition.
Seeing this scene, a barely perceptible smile flashed in Chen Yifei's eyes.
The fish has taken the bait, indicating that the plan is working.
