Chapter 552

Takuma wanted to speak back, but in the end he closed it obediently.

"Let's go back today."

Takuma nodded silently.

Under the bright starry night, the noisy insects can be heard endlessly.

After Suki said goodbye to them in the inner courtyard of the shrine near Ugaya's residence, she stayed where she was, watching their backs as they went away.

"You look very sad."

Suddenly someone spoke from behind, and hurriedly looked back, it turned out to be grandma.

"Grandma, do you know Logos?"

Zhu Ji couldn't help but asked.

She regretted why she didn't ask first.

However, grandma didn't answer Zhuji's question, she just looked at the starry sky in the distance and murmured: "The bugs are all commotion. The movement of the gods is also a bit strange. They were quiet before, but now they are all angry. It's so weird, it's almost like someone's..."

Although she had guessed this would be the case, Zhu Ji still couldn't hide her disappointment.

She didn't understand why grandma didn't tell her about it.

But Zhu Ji also realized one thing, that is, she can no longer count on grandma.

"Grandma, is it okay if you don't rest in the room?"

Unknowingly, Zhu Ji's tone also became loud.

Grandma looked at Zhu Ji and smiled, just like before, a very kind smile.

"You're right, the wind is cold, I should go back. Good night, Zhuji."

Grandma turned and left, silent when she came, and silent when she left.

"Good night, grandma."

Zhuji said softly to her grandmother's thin back.

Nothing happened today, very peaceful—

However, Zhu Ji's heart was more turbulent than after the previous battle.

Yalia was sitting in a luxurious chair in a certain room of the old bungalow.

"Headquarters has sent the results of Dreyer's investigation."

Feiya held a roll of parchment and dedicated it to Yalia.

"Drai—the original No.3 follower really has someone else."

The report confirmed Arya's suspicions.

"So, where did the people who were supposed to follow me go?"

"Failed to die while performing other tasks, that's why I reassigned that magician to be dispatched by you, Saint Arya..."

Yalia squinted her eyes slightly, staring directly at the flickering candle flame.

De Lai is a bit of a weird person. He seems to obey orders on the surface, but sometimes he will act suspiciously without authorization, and often go out without permission.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look right... The reason why Yalia suspected Dreyer was an anonymous letter.

On the night of four days ago, Phoebe received a report written in a special code, which was a Hebrew code that Yalia and others were all too familiar with who had learned the Logos—a code written by occult techniques document.

"The third person is using the saint."

After deciphering the password, you get this message.

Whether that was true or not, Yalia couldn't be sure for a while.

Maybe this is just a strategy to disrupt our internal operations.

But in Yalia's intuition, she thought that what the letter might say was true.

"What is Dory doing now?"

"He stayed in his own room, and occasionally had a few conversations with Jabai who was watching."

"okay."

Yalia nodded proudly.

Considering that De Lai might attempt to rebel, she temporarily stopped her action of snatching the treasure and made the following decision.

First of all, cut off the means of contact between De Lai and Logos.

The second is to prohibit him from leaving the bungalow, and to send Jabai to monitor him at any time.When Fiya was conducting espionage operations, Ain was by his side.

Under such circumstances, Yalia contacted the Logos headquarters to find someone she trusted to investigate Dreyer's identity, and the result she got was——

"Was the third person originally scheduled to be absent? But it is also true that the higher-ups of Logos incorporated that magician into my deployment."

Yalia stroked her chin with her index finger and aimed at the parchment on the table.

"Have you found out who wrote the anonymous letter?"

"not yet."

Yalia slowly closed her eyes and sighed softly.

"It seems that the task of destroying the seal will be postponed."

Phoebe lowered her head quietly.

"I always feel a little confused."

Hearing this little murmur, Feiya immediately raised her head.

"Did you just say something?"

Yalia glanced at Fiya, then shook her head.

"—It's okay, I'm talking to myself."

"I'm going to do my best to investigate today!"

Early in the morning, Wei Xianhu yelled out the window, and jumped onto Zhuji's head to cooperate with her, and let out a vigorous "Mi--".

He hurriedly changed his clothes and walked out of the room, just in time to bump into Meihe who came over.

She was holding a bento for Zhu Ji in her hand.

She came to wake Zhu Ji up.

"Good morning, Mizuru."

"Good morning, it seems a bit tense today, it's already time for school... Uh, what's wrong with your uniform?"

Still wearing casual clothes at this time, Meihe was stunned.

"Huh? I won't go to school today, I'm going to skip class!"

With such a straightforward speech, Meihe was dumbfounded on the spot.

Not wanting to go to school was one reason, but more importantly, she couldn't wait to pursue the truth.

anyway……

Zhu Yuki accepted the bento gratefully, and then went to the warehouse with Misenho.

"Really, tidying up is the same as not tidying up!"

In the warehouse she had become accustomed to, Zhu Ji kept taking out materials and returning them to their original positions.

It is as huge a project as the cleaning at the end of the year.

It has been three hours to find information like this.

Perhaps because of the bright sunlight during the day, the warehouse today does not feel as gloomy as before, but has a sense of liberation and refreshing.

The materials buried in the warehouse are several times more than what the eyes can see. Every time when I thought I was about to finish reading, when I moved the book away, I found that there was still a large pile behind it like a mountain.

Moreover, they are not divided into categories, whether they are new or old, they are all thrown together casually.

Zhuji had no choice but to roll up her sleeves and start working hard with all her might, but probably because she didn't sleep well last night, her consciousness would fly away when she looked at it often.

"Hold...there's no end to doing this..."

I couldn't help sighing.

Wei Xianhu probably hates dust, and refuses to come out of Zhu Ji's shadow at all.

Suuki continued to investigate while thinking listlessly.

Almost another hour passed.

"Huh? Huh..."

Among the books Zhuji threw on the ground, there were two books that made her feel particularly different. One looked very old; the other was bound in black synthetic leather, and it was probably recent.

It looks the same as the one Masahiro found yesterday.

"Strange, I didn't seem to see such a thing just now..."

Glancing at his watch, it was past noon.

Only then did she realize that she was hungry.

"Let's eat!"
