Chapter 1382: The Little Spy
Inside the theater, at the entrance.
Su Xiao was sitting at the entrance in a chair by the wall, holding a book in his hand. The mechanical eye hovered above him.
If Bubtney had been in the theater with him, the difficulty of this mission would have been reduced by at least 20%.
It looked like Su Xiao was reading a book, but in reality, he was watching the crowd at the checkout counter. The Apostle's Eye scanned the surrounding area once every five minutes.
Inside Su Xiao's book was a tablet that displayed everything that the Apostle's Eye had seen.
All people who bought a ticket were marked with the Eye of the Apostle. If Su Xiao saw any suspicious people, he would immediately scan them.
He decided to use the exclusion method. The spies and traitors who were supposed to meet at the theater this evening probably bought their tickets in advance. If his guess was correct, with such a simple step, he would be able to remove most of the problems.
As for whether they could meet at the entrance, that was one of the most likely moves on their part. Considering the number of people, meeting in the middle of such a huge crowd somewhere at the entrance was a very logical step.
After half an hour, Su Xiao began to feel tired. Finding a needle in a haystack wasn't an easy task. Finding the core of the world must have been even harder, but considering the reward for finding the core, it was a pretty good job.
Stretching his neck, he looked towards the entrance. Three men and one woman went straight to the theater. Judging by their words and actions, they were just ordinary theater goers.
Su Xiao was about to look away when he suddenly felt someone's eyes on him.
One second, two seconds, three… It wasn't until three seconds later that the bald man in the group looked away from him.
Su Xiao had a habit of not looking away when someone looked back at him, but he never allowed himself to show even a bit of emotion. Such a simple step allowed him to immediately determine whether the person opposite him was hostile towards him or not.
After the bald man looked away, he glanced at Su Xiao again out of the corner of his eye and found that Su Xiao was still looking at him.
Their eyes met again, but this time the bald, middle-aged man mumbled something that was clearly not a good thing.
Su Xiao's gaze shifted to the book. Thirty seconds later, the middle-aged man looked at Su Xiao through the mirror on the pillar. Seeing that Su Xiao wasn't staring at him, the middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on a chair by the entrance, wanting to wait for the next movie to start. During this time, he often glanced at Su Xiao intentionally or unintentionally, but he never looked directly at him, as if he was afraid of something.
«One, two, three, four...»
The timer in Su Xiao's hand started ticking, then vibrated slightly.
Not long after, a small boy wearing a baseball cap ran straight up to Su Xiao.
— Where are my candies? The little boy asked loudly with the tone of a naughty child and snatched the book out of Su Xiao's hands, to which Su Xiao only shrugged helplessly.
— I'll buy them later. It's still half an hour before the movie starts. Where should we go in a hurry?
— I want candy, " the naughty child replied loudly and glared at Su Xiao angrily.
— Good, good, " Su Xiao replied as he stood up and walked towards the theater's main entrance with the naughty child.
He had already caught a fish, so now he could safely leave here.
After Su Xiao left the theater, he wandered into an alley and handed 1,000 lanks to the little boy.
— Sir, I don't need a reward, " the little boy replied and pushed his baseball cap back on his head, then smiled.
— Take it, it's payment for your help.
— But if Mr. Lezon finds out... " The little boy, no, more like a little spy, was quite reserved, but his intelligent eyes occasionally glanced at the money in Su Xiao's hand. With this money, he would be able to do a lot, at least he would be able to order enough food for his younger siblings from the shelter.
That was the essence of the alliance. Anyone with talent could get a job even if they were only 10 years old.
— Five, four, one...
When Su Xiao's countdown immediately jumped from 4 to 1, the little spy immediately took the money.
— Thank you, sir, " said the little spy, and smiled.
— Tell Lezon I'm in his debt.
— Hmm, " the little spy just grunted and ran away, clearly intending to send a signal to the other agents nearby to retreat.
Lezon was no ordinary diplomat. When Skane shot his assistant through the head, Lezon didn't even blink. In response, he just took out his handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose.
Ordinary people wouldn't do that in a similar situation.
The deafening sound of the gunshot and the blood along with the lifeless body on the floor would have made even trained soldiers instinctively blink or move, but Lezon remained calm and even counterattacked Skane.
Although Lezon was a diplomat, he was also the leader of an intelligence organization called the Eye of the Moose. Its sphere of influence included the alliance capital and four nearby major cities.
The fact that Su Xiao was released so easily was due to the constant presence of 14 agents around him.
Lezon released him and sent his agents because he had no other choice. Although he was very angry about the whole situation, further escalation of the conflict would only harm the alliance.
Because of this, he sent 14 of his agents, 10 of whom were little tomboys, which should create some problems for Su Xiao.
After all, he was a very vindictive person.
In the alley, Su Xiao put a transparent mask on his face and his face immediately changed. The traitors had already noticed him. Now, to enter the theater, he would have to take this little hooligan with him, which might cause him some trouble.
After changing his clothes, Su Xiao waited in the alley for more than 20 minutes before heading back to the theater.
Once inside, Su Xiao immediately entered the cinema hall. In this theater there were only 6 cinemas. Because of the huge cost of projection equipment, each cinema hall could accommodate more than 400 people, so sitting in the back rows was clearly not the best experience..
Su Xiao had bought a total of 20 tickets, so because of this, he could enter any cinema hall.
Since the movie was about to start, the audience took their seats one by one. The hall itself was now brightly lit.
Su Xiao quickly found an empty seat and took it.
Three beetles appeared in Su Xiao's hands. I dropped them under the seat, and he took out the electrodes and attached them to his temples.
A virtual screen immediately appeared in front of his eyes. He could control the bugs himself with a micro-gun, but now he left them in standby mode.
The three beetles, anchored under the seat, went into standby mode.
The bald, middle-aged man who had been staring at Su Xiao was sitting on a chair. With the help of the Eye of the Apostle, Su Xiao already understood who this man was.
His name was Duke. In terms of physical fitness, he was better than the average person. His stats didn't indicate that he was a spy, but one skill did. He had a passive ability called 'Blessing of the Goddess of Dawn', which increased his luck and health.
Would a civilian from the alliance worship the Goddess of Dawn? And would he have sought her blessing? This was obviously what he got from the kingdom at the expense of betraying the alliance.
Su Xiao wasn't going to catch him right now. He was waiting for the other spies of the kingdom to come to him.
After they met, Su Xiao would observe them for a while and then decide what to do with them.
