Chapter 1098: Monitoring

Nisea's heart tightened, but she was very calm on the surface.

When she slipped out, she was prepared to deal with similar situations.

She patted her chest and said in a complaining tone:

"Are you trying to scare me to death? Suddenly popping out a sentence!"

"Calmed" for a few seconds, Nisea answered Gruet's question with an indifferent expression:

"Couldn't sleep, a bit stuffy, went to the balcony to blow some wind."

Not giving Gruet a chance to pursue the question, she pursed her lips, showing her depression:

"Do you think Louis really had an accident?"

This is the leader of the Emperor Party. His mysterious disappearance will inevitably bring anxiety, tension, and pressure to his subordinates. It is normal to have insomnia.

Gruet stared at Nisea for a few seconds and softened his expression:

"Who knows?"

"Maybe in two days, he will suddenly appear."

Inside the luxury villa, in Franca's studio, mirrors floated in front of Lu Mi and the others, and the scenes reflected in each mirror were different.

Several of the mirrors showed the conversation between Nisea and Gruet from different angles.

When projecting through the Mirror World before, Franca marked all mirror items in that house.

This was to ensure the safety of her only subordinate and ensure that she would not be exposed and attacked because of stealing the Gustave family brooch and Tudor gold coin.

Subsequent developments proved Franca's wisdom and intuition—Gruet did notice Nisea leaving the room quietly.

During the exchange between the two, Franca was ready to project power through the Mirror World.

After a while, Franca's expression suddenly became a bit strange:

No, why did you suddenly kiss?

So many people are watching!

Her purpose was just to add an insurance policy to Nisea's safety. She didn't expect Nisea, who had ulterior motives, and Gruet, who had begun to suspect Nisea, to kiss while talking!

Is this going to stage a scene unsuitable for children?

If only Franca herself was watching the "monitoring," she would feel that this kind of thing was unexpected and reasonable, nothing special, and it was quite fun, having the pleasure of peeping into others' privacy. But now, Jenna was sitting next to her, and Anthony and Ludwig, who was eating a midnight snack, were behind her.

She began to feel embarrassed.

At this time, Anthony, who was focused on the scene in the mirror, said:

"The body language of both people shows a certain resistance, and the kiss is deceptive and perfunctory."

Professional... Franca muttered in her heart.

As Anthony expected, after Nisea and Gruet kissed for a while, they said goodnight to each other again and went back to sleep.

Franca breathed a sigh of relief and said to her companions:

"Just one person watching the monitoring is enough. You can rest."

"Jenna, come to replace me in an hour and a half. Lu Mi, replace Jenna three hours later. Anthony, there's no need for you and Ludwig to stay up late."

Watching "monitoring" requires a demigod Demoness to provide support.

Moreover, if any accident really happens, only the Demonesses can project or shuttle over in the first time to provide help.

"Good." Anthony did not insist on anything. After Ludwig finished his midnight snack, he took him away from the room.

Lu Mi and Jenna exhorted Franca a few words and went back to rest.

Franca completely relaxed and watched the "monitoring" leisurely.

As time passed slowly, she, who was leaning against a pile of pillows reading a novel, had a spiritual premonition. She raised her head and cast her gaze toward one of the "monitoring" mirrors:

Gruet rolled out of bed silently, went around to the desk, and opened the secret compartment.

After confirming that the Gustave family brooch and Tudor gold coin were still there, this core member of the Emperor Party went to the bathroom attached to the master bedroom, making the sound of a flushing toilet.

Seeing Gruet return to bed after coming out of the bathroom, Franca curled her lips and said:

"That's it?"

She thought the other party would suddenly jump up, attack Nisea, or contact Louis Gustave or someone else through the brooch or coin.

As a result, Gruet was so well-behaved that she was disappointed.

Just like this, in rotating monitoring, the sky gradually brightened, and bright sunlight spilled down from high in the sky.

Franca, who changed into a lady's shirt with lace flowers and off-white loose trousers, reached out to cover her mouth, yawned, walked into the studio, and asked Lu Mi, who was watching the "monitoring" seriously:

"Nothing unusual?"

"A little bit." Lu Mi had one leg upright and one leg naturally stretched, leaning against the pile of pillows behind him.

"What's unusual?" Franca was suddenly spirited.

Lu Mi laughed:

"After waking up on the same bed as a 'Pleasure Demoness,' Gruet didn't have a morning exercise. This shows that his attention is not on this side at all, he has things hidden in his heart, and he might do something later."

"Makes sense." Franca was very clear about the charm of a "Pleasure Demoness."

She sat next to Lu Mi and recalled:

"I have marked the metal buttons of Gruet's clothes. As long as our luck is not bad, we should be able to see where he goes and what he does."

"Luck? Luck will definitely not be bad." Lu Mi smiled and patted his "Traveler's Bag," which sealed the "Apocalypse Book."

This "0" level sealed item did not come in handy in the end. The two metal buttons on the formal suit Gruet changed into after breakfast were marked by Franca.

The "monitoring" screen suddenly changed, presenting mainly the scene in front of Gruet, shaking.

In the following time, Gruet kissed Nisea goodbye and took a two-wheeled two-seater carriage to a street in District 4, which is the prison district.

He walked to a dark red door and rang the doorbell.

The door opened by itself.

Just as Gruet passed the entrance, the "monitoring" screen suddenly blurred, showing a large number of white noise points.

These noise points only lasted for two seconds and then disappeared. The mirrors in front of Lu Mi and Franca no longer presented any images.

"Discovered? Or is there an abnormality in the house itself that affects the Mirror World?" Franca looked at Lu Mi.

"Wait a little longer." Lu Mi said calmly.

After about three or four minutes, there was an image on the mirror again, and Gruet left the house.

Franca nodded thoughtfully.

Throughout the morning, Gruet, as the deputy manager of an arsenal, visited a large number of military camps in the Erato District and returned to his office at lunch.

Lu Mi, who had rotated to rest, stood up:

"Nothing worth watching."

"Hmm, hmm." Franca stood up as well.

She looked at Lu Mi and suddenly looked puzzled:

"Why do I feel you are a bit shorter?"

"My 'Weather Warlock' potion has been digested to a certain extent, my state is completely stable, my control over my body is stronger, and I can control my height to about 1.95 meters. As the digestion progress deepens, I can continue to compress it. By the time the potion is completely digested, I should be able to maintain it at 1.85 meters. In battle, even if I don't reveal my mythical creature form, I can expand to 2.7 or 2.8 meters, like a little giant." Lu Mi answered in a good mood.

"Digested to a certain extent so quickly?" Franca asked in surprise.

Lu Mi laughed:

"Because I found the key point of acting as a 'Weather Warlock,' I also discovered a tribe in the primitive jungle of the Southern Continent that maintains the tradition of blood sacrifice a few days ago. I brought them different extreme weather. After they persisted for three days, they were crushed by fear, surrendered to me, and completely abandoned the habit of blood sacrifice."

"This led me to summarize an acting code, and the potion was digested to a relatively large extent."

Franca thought for a few seconds and asked curiously:

"Is manipulating the weather to bring disaster and make the target surrender?"

This is consistent with the inner meaning of the "Hunter" pathway.

"Almost." Lu Mi looked at the floating mirrors and said with a smile, "It's time to visit that house with abnormalities."

"You go?" Franca frowned, "Just leave it to the Demoness Sect or official Beyonders. Whatever you do now, I feel like there might be a trap ahead."

Lu Mi smiled and said:

"This is on the ground, not underground, under the gaze of Mr. 'Fool' and the True Gods."

"If I don't dare to deal with abnormal events like this, how can I act as an 'Iron-Blooded Knight'?"

"Also." Franca said "Hmm."

She hesitated for two seconds and said:

"Then take Jenna with you."

Lu Mi laughed and invited Franca:

"You come too."

"Alright..." Franca followed suit.

At the door of the house at No. 20 Saint-Fred Street in the prison district.

Lu Mi, wearing a top hat, a white shirt, a black vest, and trousers, opened the dark red door.

He walked in and didn't notice any abnormalities.

Franca and Jenna outside the door saw the situation inside through the makeup mirror he was holding:

Sofas, cabinets, etc., were covered with white cloth to prevent dust from accumulating, and the ground was cleaned very cleanly.

"No problem, no interference." Jenna also passed the entrance and said to Lu Mi.

Lu Mi looked around and said:

"No one has lived here for a long time, but maids come to clean regularly."

This is the extraction and restoration of environmental information by "Weather Warlock."

Just as Lu Mi finished speaking, Franca, who had also entered the house, saw a figure walking down the stairs slowly.

The figure was very thin, as if it would fall if the wind blew.

His hair was mostly gray, he was already old, and the brown beard on his face seemed to have not been trimmed for a long time. He was wearing a wrinkled black formal suit.

Before he appeared, Lu Mi, as an Angel, did not discover him, and he did not smell his breath at the moment.

Lu Mi therefore believed that the other party did not actually exist.

The old man looked at Lu Mi and smiled:

"You finally came to pick up the letter."

"Letter?" Lu Mi raised his eyebrows.

The old man smiled and answered:

"I am the 'Messenger of God,' and one of my roles is to deliver letters for the Great Ones."

"Here, there is a letter for you."
