Chapter 207: Action Begins

ce.But as the leader of Soul Hill, he still acted responsibly. He had all the souls temporarily retreat from Soul Hill. Then, when mages arrived due to sensing elemental fluctuations, they saw countle...Miyata stared at the receiver in his hand. The only sound was the dial tone after the call ended. He furrowed his brow, a sense of foreboding washing over him.

Today he came here to do the final preparations before evacuation, and eliminate all traces. As a result, he didn't see his second-in-command, Mori, that morning. He just arranged for someone to look for him, but no one had replied yet, when he received a call from the KMT intelligence officer who had defected to them.

The call seemed to be made in a rush, and the caller hung up without waiting for a response. It was clearly an emergency situation.

Miyata immediately ordered someone to call Yamamoto, the captain of the Special Forces, and have him go to Ripple's residence to check it out. He also instructed the operator to trace the caller's address and arrange for someone to confirm it.

About forty minutes later, Yamamoto returned to report to Miyata:

"Director Miyata, I went to the new address of Wu Lianyi. There were two people monitoring around her house. I avoided them and entered the room, but it was empty."

Have you found anything unusual

The house was very clean and well-equipped, not like someone had left in a hurry.

"I understand. I'm afraid things might change. You take the people who are staying behind and leave now, go into hiding immediately."

Miyata immediately ordered.

"Yes, we will certainly not disappoint the Emperor's trust."

Yamamoto bowed and, with the twenty carefully selected individuals, quietly left headquarters.

After Yamamoto left, the phone on Miyata's desk rang again. He picked it up directly:

"Director Miyata, I found out where that phone call came from. It was made from a public telephone booth on Hongxia Road."

Our people went to investigate. According to the nearby vendors, during the morning hours, only a woman in a white cheongsam entered and made a phone call for a very short time. Afterward, the woman hurried into a side alley.

Because the other party was very pretty, these vendors took a few extra glances and remembered her.

"Are there any other clues"

"Temporarily unavailable."

Okay, you guys line up first.

Miyata hung up the phone, and the bad feeling in his heart grew stronger. He pulled open the door and called out into the hallway:

"Has Sen Yue arrived yet"

"Reporting to Professor Konda, we still haven't found him."

Immediately, a female officer dashed out and responded to Miyata's words.

"Wasn't he on duty yesterday Where is he Didn't you see him when he left"

Miyata said with displeasure.

"Director Miyata, yesterday Mori was indeed on duty. He checked the post last night, and everyone saw him. It's just..."

What is it Stuttering, spit it out!

The last person to see him said that Mori went into your office, but they're not sure when he left. He wasn't seen at the end of his shift.

Miyata's eyebrows jumped, and she immediately turned back to her room to check the important files in the secret compartment.

The file was still there, but a single strand of hair that was inside it was missing. This made him jump and he immediately threw both files into the fire.

Miyata sat back down in his chair, his eyes becoming deep and distant. He guessed that Ripple hadn't expected her nighttime visit to the Japanese headquarters to be discovered by the adjutant, but it actually made her plan even more perfect.

Kiyota considered all possible scenarios and then instructed his intelligence agents to send out a series of different messages.

All that remained was waiting. Miyata waited until midnight, just as he was losing patience and feeling that Ripples had probably died, the security guard called, saying someone named Wu Ripples wanted to see him.

"Bring her to see me at once."

"Yes!"

The guards at the gate took ripples directly to Miyata's office, then turned around and guarded the door.

Miyata looked a little disheveled, with Ripple in a black cheongsam and a black headscarf, directly asked:

"If you don't come soon, I'm going to leave."

"Mr. Miyata, I'm so sorry! After shaking off the pursuers, I hid and didn't dare come out during the day. I only came now."

Who is tracking you Why are they tracking you What important information did you say

Miyata didn't waste any time and went straight for a triple question.

“My tail is being run by your adjutant, though I don't know his name! He's trying to silence me because this morning when I left the house, I accidentally saw him meeting with a Nationalist intelligence officer. It was unexpected, so I looked a few times, and he spotted me, then I ran!”

If Ripple had said that yesterday, Miyata would have absolutely not believed it. But now, he held a reserved attitude, frowning and asking:

"Are you sure Sen was meeting with KMT intelligence agents"

"OK, that person trained me. They taught us codebreaking. I wouldn't get it wrong."

The ripples spoke with conviction.

At this moment, the phone on Miyata's desk rang again. He frowned and picked it up. The voice of the security guard came from inside:

"Dr. Miyata, Mori is back. He seems drunk and kept demanding to see you. He wouldn't let us help him and went straight to your office."

"Are you sure it's Morita"

"OK."

"I understand. For now, just stay put."

"Yes!"

Miyata hung up the phone and saw Renri, her face pale with terror, spinning in circles in the office. Then, she said, her voice trembling:

"He knew I would come to find Mr. Miyata, so he was waiting for me here like a hunter. Otherwise, how could he have followed me right after I stepped into your office Should I hide"

"No need, with me here, you can just confront each other right in front of me!"

Miyata said with narrowed eyes.

"Oh, okay!"

R ripples nodded hastily, then took several steps back to the desk beside the door, putting some distance between herself and the entrance.

"Knock knock," the knocking sounded. In his hand, Miyata held a gun and spoke in a low voice:

"Come in!"

The moment the door creaked open and shut, a man with his head bowed walked in. As soon as he took a step, he fell to his knees and landed on the ground. A strong smell of alcohol immediately filled Miyata and Ripples' noses.

"Oh! Miyata, I found something!"

The people on the ground were speaking incoherently.

The ripples seemed to be startled, receding further aside as if they wanted to be ten thousand eight thousand miles away from the other party. They didn't even have the courage to go over and check.

Miyata immediately drew back his hand, trying to swivel the gun, but unfortunately, the next second he heard a "click" and then lost consciousness.

Even Mori, who had been lying on the ground, sprang to his feet. Seeing the woman arrive before him, he shoved Miyata, whose neck was about to be broken, under the table.

"Hurry up, you ready to blow the power I'm going to get the explosives."

At this time, the ripples had already covered her own face and said to Lao Zhou, who was dressed up as "Mori Yue".

"Great!"

"Meimei's skills are quite good; ordinary people wouldn't be able to tell if it wasn't for someone familiar with her work, especially after a power outage."

"Ripple made a comment, then opened the window, dodging the searchlight, and jumped out."d there's no sign of it stopping. The city's power grid is already damaged, and we don't know how long the gas supply will last. The most important thing is food. We need to find a way to get some fo...
