Zheng Shu is enjoying life here, while a large number of people, including the Warlock Association, are too troubled to sleep.

Inside Lebra's headquarters, Stephen looked at the report in his hand with red eyes.

He slumped down on the sofa with an exhausted look. Next to him, KK and Lebra's newcomer Doug sat on the sofa in silence.

The expressions of several people were exactly the same, and they all looked sad.

Smoke lingered around Stephen, and the ashtray on the table in front of him was already full of cigarette butts.

The invasion of the nodes of the Great Barrier of Hershalemz was quite serious, and Lebra also received a commission from the Warlock Association to investigate.

But obviously, the result was quite unsatisfactory.

Jane and other werewolves used their invisible abilities to obtain a lot of jaw-dropping information in the base camps of major violent groups.

Once this evidence is disclosed, it will be enough to defeat dozens of large criminal groups. However, even so, no one has heard anything about related mechanical smuggling.

Stephen led his subordinates and walked through the dark alleys of Hersalemz for a full half month. Their clothes were almost soaked with the blood of various overconfident thugs.

Stephen even felt like he was suffering from ischemia because he used too much Blood Fighting Technique.

Even KK, who has always been extremely busy, returned to the headquarters and led Doug on a tour of various underground places in Hershalemz. He also did the same after "politely" rejecting countless requests to buy Doug. Nothing was found.

"It seems that the opponent is quite able to hide this time..." Putting down the document in his hand, Stephen put the cigarette butt in his mouth into the ashtray, lowered his head in despair and sighed.

"I have searched all the underworld headquarters and found no relevant information at all." Jane curled up on the chair next to her with a disappointed expression.

"It's the same here. I haven't found any information about anyone requesting to assemble related machinery in the major workshops. Judging from the information transmitted, the shape of the machinery is quite peculiar, and its use should be very special. As long as the order is accepted, it should not be It will be forgotten.”

K·K looked much better than the others present. Doug next to him took out a record seriously:

“We have already looked for the modification shop Billy, Gene \u0026 Saxon Modification Workshop, Gordon Biochemical Machinery, Armor Merchant Co., Ltd., Hasselhoff GMBH...basically all the big shops.

I also searched for small shops such as Xiao Akihabara's personal business office, but there were not many small shops that could meet the mechanical construction accuracy requirements, and indeed no relevant information was found. "

K·K also nodded after Doug finished speaking, then turned to look at Stephen:

"So we can basically rule out the possibility that these guys have commissioned these workshops to assemble the machines. Speaking of which, the accuracy of that thing is surprisingly high. Could it be that it was manufactured directly outside and shipped in?"

An instrument capable of carrying a space-traveling spell is very high-end in itself. Coupled with various additional unknown functions, even with the blessing of other-world technology, there are only a handful of workshops in Helsalemzli that can process such machines. number.

If it were outside, the number of countries and factories that could manufacture this number of machines would be an order of magnitude less.

But even so, it is still possible that the other party made this machine from the outside and transported it into Helsalemzi.

After all, judging from the information sent back from the Warlock Association, the other party is a force that can find the magician and request the other party to take action.

What is difficult for ordinary people to do is not difficult for such a powerful being.

"Impossible. The Warlock Association has already asked Bang Lai Nankada here, and later asked Rey Demisos from the other world. Both of them said they have never seen similar machines. , I haven’t even seen the parts. After all, making such a delicate thing will definitely attract their attention.”

Stephen shook his head and denied KK's statement.

"That's it..." K·K heard this and didn't refute anything.

As a city completely enveloped in fog and barriers, the only channel through which Helsalemz can communicate with the outside world is the cross-sea bridge.

In order to maintain the stability of the two worlds, both worlds have sent their own personnel as "gatekeepers" to guard this only passage to prevent something too outrageous from Helsalemzi from entering the two worlds. in the world.

Bangle Nankada and Rael Demisos are the names of the two gatekeepers.

The miraculous balance that the otherworld and the human world have maintained so far is largely due to these two paranoid men.

Although they belong to different worlds, they both have the same characteristics.

In terms of strength, both of them can be called divine beings. Depending on the status brought by strength, they both have enough ability to refuse all kinds of temptations.

However, the reason why they have been able to maintain their status as selfless gatekeepers has nothing to do with money, power or sense of mission, but only relies on the pure desire to remember everything in the universe in their minds.

The current positions of the two are enough to realize this wish, coupled with a sense of tension that they compete with each other after recognizing each other, and their strong power and status are enough to maintain their own safety...

With multiple combinations, there is no more solid level than them in the world.

With the status of these two people, even if the Warlock Association wanted to ask them, it would have to pay a heavy price, so they generally would not bother them casually.

But this time the matter was too serious, and it was no longer the "little things" such as special poisons (harmony) or biological and chemical weapons that Lebra usually dealt with.

The Great Barrier of Hersalemz is related to the life and death of the two worlds, and no matter how important it is, it cannot be overemphasized.

So after getting some clues, the Warlock Association contacted other forces and asked the two gatekeepers together.

Of course, the answer they received was within their expectations. The other party did not leave any clues on the gatekeeper.

Stephen picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip: "However, not only in this city, anything can happen all over the world, so it is not impossible even if someone really bypasses their eyes."

"In that case..."

Behind the desk in the corner, Klaus, who had been silent since just now, suddenly stood up. His huge body and sudden movements attracted everyone's attention.

"Then it's my turn."

Newcomers like Doug looked confused when they heard this. They didn't know what their boss could do when all the intelligence personnel were ineffective.

K·K showed a worried look, but he quickly hid it in his smile: "You are so impressive, little Klaus."

While Stephen was drinking the coffee in his hand, he glanced at the computer that Klaus had just turned off, with a look of understanding in his eyes.

So he shook his head at Klaus: "No, we can't do that this time."

"But isn't there nothing we can do?" Klaus looked puzzled.

He is very aware of the character of his partner. Logically speaking, even if this matter is extremely risky, he should not stop himself.

"It's not just a matter of your life safety." Stephen saw through Klaus's thoughts.

"This situation is very unusual. Although no specific clues have been found, judging from the known intelligence, it is likely to involve those at the top of the two worlds. So we don't know, 'Which one 'Have you joined this plan?

The Warlock Association dares to ask the gatekeeper because it can ensure that these two people have not participated in this plan, but other than that, all rights holders cannot be trusted! "

"……I see."

After a moment of silence, Klaus sat back in his chair.

Everyone else present also understood what Stephen meant, and their expressions became heavy involuntarily.

Although I knew this matter might be difficult, I didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

It involves the two most powerful people in the world. Once this matter is not handled well, a war between the two worlds is likely to break out.

Seeing that everyone present understood the seriousness of this matter, Stephen sighed helplessly:

"It is precisely because of the special nature of this matter that the Warlock Association has also said that even if you don't get any answers, don't use too drastic methods and do it as secretly as possible to minimize all impacts.

Fortunately, the opponent will not make any moves in a short period of time. The Warlock Association has also strengthened the protection of the Hersha Remuz barrier. The scope of this incident is too wide, and Lebra is unable to do anything. We This time the job is just to assist. "

"It's... really stressful." KK leaned on the sofa and sighed.

As if to boost the morale of his subordinates, Stephen put down the coffee in his hand and clapped his hands:

"Okay, okay, don't be too discouraged. Besides, we haven't gained nothing."

"What should I say?" KK's attention was indeed attracted.

Not only her, but Klaus and Doug next to her also set their sights on Stephen.

"Not finding any clues is actually a clue. There is no information about the destruction of the workshop in the recent period, which means that the other party did not kill anyone. On the other hand, they did not use Hector when assembling or manufacturing this machine. The workshop inside Erza Remzi.”

"What do you mean?" K·K asked.

Stephen smiled: "It means that this time the enemy's power may be stronger than initially expected. They are likely to have people who understand advanced mechanical technology in their own action team."

"This is damn good news!!!" KK was a little crazy.

"Haha, I didn't say this was good news."

After telling a cold joke, the originally depressing atmosphere in Lebra's headquarters was swept away. Stephen looked at the lively people in front of him and his smile faded, with a trace of hidden worry flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly he felt someone tapping his shoulder. He turned around and saw that Klaus had come to him at some point.

Although he didn't speak, his firm eyes still gave Stephen strong support.

Stephen felt the determination of his old partner through the force of his palms on his shoulders, and a slightly relaxed smile appeared on his face:

"Ha! I'm not defeated that easily!"

Another month has passed, and there is still no progress in the investigation into the invasion of the Helsalemz Grand Barrier Node.

Both the Warlock Association and Lebra have tried their best, but still haven't found any clues.

Although having a sword hanging over your head and not knowing when it will fall makes you feel headache, time will not care about anyone's troubles and will continue to flow forward.

Gradually, because of other events that occurred in Hershalemz, Lebra and the Warlock Association began to gradually shift their focus to these things.

After all, if the Great Barrier of Helsalemz is invaded, it will indeed affect the balance of the world, but other events also have similar problems.

With no clues for the time being, they could only record the incident and then shift their focus to other incidents that could be handled.

However, after this battle, Stephen also discovered the problem of Lebra's manpower shortage. In other aspects, it can be said that they are still lacking in frontal combat effectiveness.

So while solving various incidents to maintain world balance, Stephen also began to secretly look for new people suitable for Lebra.

This is not a simple matter. As Lebra solves more and more incidents, their reputation begins to be secretly passed on to major underground organizations and super villains.

Different from the situation when no one knew about it when it was first established a year ago, the news about the secret society Laibra is now the hottest topic among underground organizations.

Unfortunately, Stephen discovered his problem after contacting Zheng Shu, so he improved confidentiality measures.

Therefore, only one name of the secret society Lebra has been circulated so far, and other related information is still unknown.

Facing such an enemy who is hiding in the dark and may bite his own neck at any time, all those who want to cause trouble in Helsalemz are trembling with fear.

In contrast, the reward price for information about Lebra has become higher and higher.

And this also caused a certain degree of trouble for Stephen in finding new people. Faced with such a huge risk, many people who were originally interested quietly retreated.

After searching for a long time, only one and a half people were found.

"What do you mean one and a half? Although this kid looks stupid, he can still be considered a person. And I have no intention of joining your Lebra, so don't just count me in."

Zheng Shu sat on the sofa, drinking Gilbert's special black tea, while expressing his dissatisfaction with what Stephen described.

"Boy! Are you looking for trouble?!"

On the sofa opposite Zheng Shu, a guy with silver hair and brown skin suddenly jumped up, stepped on the table, and shouted at Zheng Shu menacingly with a bloody sharp blade condensed in his hand.

"Cough! Zap, calm down." Stephen coughed, reminding the newly recruited newcomer.

The new person Lebra recruited this time is Zapp Renfro, a cheerful delinquent in the original work. He likes to take care of his juniors. He uses the sword skill "Bleed Fighting Technique" that turns blood into a blade shape. He is considered Lebra. funny characters in.

Stephen looked at Zheng Shu's indifferent expression and hesitated for a moment, then said the truth with some embarrassment:

"Actually, Zapp counts as one, and you count as half..."

"Hahahahahaha! Silly man, you heard it! You are the only one who is half-assed..."

Boom!

With one punch, Zap, who was laughing at him, was knocked into the ground and lost consciousness. Zheng Shu withdrew his fist expressionlessly and turned to look at Stephen.

"Why am I half?"

"Didn't you just say it yourself? You have no intention of entering Lebra, but if we pay you to assist, it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Stephen calmly took a sip of tea, as if he had been smashed through the floor. It's like Zapp doesn't exist.

"There's nothing wrong with that, okay." Zheng Shu nodded.
