60 Spies (1/2)
After returning to the Star Lou Inn and he quickly went towards Rongrong's room. He felt guilty for leaving her behind all alone, she had left her comfortable lifestyle to support him and he left her all by herself.
She had every right to be angry at him, he couldn't argue with her. He didn't want to tell her about Lin Yanluo and others till he was sure that it was absolutely safe for Rongrong to meet them.
He was being so cautious because of Nightfall and the spies set up by Spirit Hall. He knew for sure that there was at least one spy in the Blood Mercenary Gang as it was impossible that a gang of local thugs wasn't under observation.
He wanted to make sure that there weren't any spies amongst the people that decided to joined him. That was the reason why he still hasn't shown his face to them till now. In fact, he wanted there to be a spy as he wanted to know about the way spies contacts the Spirit Hall.
He wanted to know every detail about their information network. Did they directly write letters to the Supreme Pontiff? Or do they use code words or coded messages that only Spirit Hall could decode?
The more he thought about it the excited he grew because he felt that it was similar to the cases he solved in his previous life, but instead of catching the criminal, here he was catching a spy.
'If there really is a spy among you all. I wonder how long can you keep yourself hidden from me. No, I shouldn't focus on the guys in the organization too much. If there are no Spies in the organization but in Bright Silver Town then they can also be harmful to me.' Ryusei thought while thinking about the spies.
'I have to be careful about this and slowly investigate the whole town. It will take time but the organization is still in starting phase, it's not like they would be able to do anything right now. I just have to catch them before they realize the matter of the Eclipse Pagoda. Hmm, I suppose I have around 3 months before they start paying attention to the pagoda's construction and start investigating about it.'
This was just the Spirit Hall, but he still wasn't sure about the Nightfall Organization and its mysterious leader.
'Just who is he? What is his motive? And most importantly, how strong is he?'
These were most important three question regarding that Nightfall, he felt that it was even more dangerous than Spirit Hall as he at least knew something about the Spirit Hall.
But Nightfall, they were just blank slate for him. The only thing he knew was what Town Lord had told him. He couldn't gauge the power of the organization based on his words only as he didn't how they were able to kill 5 Titled Douluo without anyone noticing.
He felt that that the reason was not as simple as that because if they had such strength, then they wouldn't need to kill 5 Titled Douluo secretly. If they fought openly then people would surely notice a battle of that magnitude.
But there no evidence of battle, no one knows anything. This confused him every time he thought about the disappearance of 5 Titled Douluo.
