Chapter 154 Entering the Tiger's Den Again
"Anyway, that's it. After a few days of investigation, there has been no news about the vice president. I plan to contact them again using the identity of Dong Shuang. See if you can capture a prisoner if there is a chance!"
After several days of hiding and exploring, without obtaining any useful information, Dong Yu decided to take the risk again.
"No, this is too risky. After two days of observation, we can be sure that they are looking for us. Even if they have not yet suspected that Dong Shuang's identity is related to us, we are still one of their targets!"
Ling Feng frowned and rejected the proposal. Fumini and Ina also shook their heads to express their disapproval. Dong Yu shook his head gently.
"There is no other way at the moment. Only Dong Shuang's identity provides a reasonable reason to go there. The most important thing is to wait for the team that went out to perform the mission to come back. Then Dong Shuang's identity and the relationship between us will be exposed!"
Dong Yu still insisted on his own idea. This was the best way at the moment. Although there were certain risks, it was better than hiding all the time.
"How about...we..."
Ling Feng wanted to tell her that he had decided to leave, but deep down he was unwilling to do so. That guy might be the culprit of Rita's death - Rami.
"If I give up like this, I don't know when I'll find clues about her next time!"
"I know what you want to say, but this is the best opportunity, and we are just going to get information. As long as we confirm the news, we can go back to the guild to find helpers to take revenge!"
Dong Yu patted Ling Feng on the shoulder, then looked at Fumini and Ina and smiled.
"You must have faith in me. Although I am not a real alchemist, I am an assassin and I am very good at preparing all kinds of poisons and drugs. Even if I am discovered, I can definitely leave if I am determined to do so!"
Fumini bit her lip and hesitated. All the information now showed that there were doubts everywhere about how the "Speedy Cat" became what he is now. If she continued to investigate, she might even find out the real cause of his father's death.
Aina clenched her hands and looked at Dong Yu with worry in her eyes, but she also understood that it was most likely impossible to stop the decision made by Yu.
"Okay, then Brother Yu, bring the Eight Diagrams with you!"
Ina took out the Eight Diagrams that she had kept in her arms and handed it to Dong Yu. Dong Yu thought for a moment and finally took it. Although he had no magic power now, he could still trigger the lowest level of the Eight Diagrams.
"Okay, little Aina is so good!"
Dong Yu touched Aina's head with relief, making her cheeks blush. After this period of training, with Aina's deliberate cooperation, the two of them returned to the feeling of brother and sister before, and the previous little embarrassment seemed to have been put aside.
"Okay, lend me your crossbow, and any long-range weapons you have. We'll support you from a distance!"
Ling Feng finally nodded helplessly. Dong Yu took out the Shen Ji Lian Nu from the Eight Diagrams Formation and handed it to Ling Feng, then rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"Do you really think this thing is so easy to make? I made one before I came out! Don't worry, although I don't have a crossbow of this level at the moment, I have a lot of other gadgets!"
"Well, with my gauntlets, I can barely count them as two long-range killing weapons. Be careful!"
Ling Feng patted Dong Yu on the shoulder. He knew very well that Dong Yu risked his life for his own sake. The brotherly feelings were unspoken.
Next, the four of them discussed the detailed plan, mainly to interrogate people under Dong Yu's disguise. If there was no chance, they would have to capture prisoners. After all, as long as they captured someone, the identity would probably no longer be kept secret.
After dressing up, Dong Yu put on Dong Shuang's vest again, and the four of them walked out of the secret room from another exit outside the city.
After confirming that there was no one around, they split up according to the plan. Dong Yu took two deep breaths, calmed himself down, adjusted his mindset, and headed towards the Speedy Cat.
The gamble this time was uncertainty. Although her appearance was very different after makeup, if Nick's team passed on the name Dong Shuang, they would inevitably be suspected by the other party.
At this time, Dong Yu regretted why he didn't change his vest! But now he can only take it one step at a time.
When he returned to the town again as Dongshuang, he immediately felt the warmth coming from his right wristband, which meant that someone had noticed him.
Without stopping for long, he headed straight towards the forest behind him, pretending to be very cautious along the way, as if he was afraid that someone was following him.
During this period, the temperature from the wristband never stopped, but he was not blocked by anyone until he arrived at the Speed Cat Guild.
Maybe it's because he's afraid of his own poison, or maybe it's because he doesn't want to alert the enemy. We don't know and can only deal with it as it happens.
The moment he walked into the guild gate, he saw a familiar face. Yuris smiled warmly at the guild counter, and his whole demeanor was that of a gentleman.
"Ms. Winterfrost, what happened? You seem a little nervous."
Dong Yu pretended to be relieved, patted his chest, and then showed a smile with lingering fear.
"Mr. Yuris, things are not peaceful around here. Last time in the forest, I was followed and ambushed! If you didn't know, you would think you were planning to do something to me!"
Yuris squinted his eyes as if he was observing something, but the smile on his face continued.
"Ms. Winterfrost, you should also know that the kingdom is now on a war footing. Perhaps an enemy guild has infiltrated and wants to destroy our reputation!"
Yuris stood up and walked slowly towards Dong Yu. Dong Yu showed panic and nervousness at the right time, and put his hands in his pockets to show vigilance.
"Mr. Yuris, although your guild has always had a good reputation, I think it's better for us to keep a little distance until my doubts are eliminated. After all, you don't want me to accidentally spill some deadly drugs!"
Seeing Dong Yu's nervous expression, Yuris stopped, raised his hands to his chest, and showed a gentle smile.
"Ms. Dong Shuang, don't worry. After all, no one would be stupid enough to do something that would damage the reputation of their guild near their own guild!"
Dong Yu nodded thoughtfully, his expression obviously relaxed a lot, but his hands were still in his pockets.
"Okay! Is there any progress on my commission?"
Yuris waved to someone behind him, took a box in his hand, then opened the box in front of Dong Yu and placed it on the table not far from Dong Yu.
"The materials you requested have been collected and are all here. Please take inventory!"
