Mirror World Administrator

Chapter 106 Grayscale Informant
Between half asleep and half awake, consciousness fell.

Yang Xu opened his eyes and appeared in the pure white space again.

The world of stillness remained the same, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Only the one who stopped stood still in the center of the venue, with his hands behind his back, looking up at the time display screen high in the sky.

Yang Xu shook his head, came to his senses, and hurried towards the Stopper, ready to consult for information about the Demon Flame Guild and the prisoners.

As soon as he arrived beside the stopper, before he could speak, the stopper suddenly asked, "What day is it today?"

Yang Xu was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that the stopper was not asking about the time in the world, but about the date in reality.

"February 2th!" Yang Xu said.

"Is there a 29th this month?"

"No."

"In other words, it's the end of the month again..." The stopper sighed, and a rare look of melancholy appeared on his face.

Yang Xu was a little surprised. He was used to seeing Zhizhe being calm, furious, and crazy, but this was the first time he saw such a sad expression on Zhizhe's face.

Fortunately, the melancholy was only fleeting, and the stopper quickly regained his composure: "What did you want to ask just now?"

"Oh, do you know the Demon Flame Guild?"

"I've never heard of the Demon Flame Guild." The Stopper shook his head.

"Even you haven't heard of it?" Yang Xu was surprised.

"Why would I have heard of this kind of shady guild that can be seen everywhere on the roadside?" asked the stopper.

"Uh……"

Yang Xu couldn't refute it. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have always regarded Zhizhe as an omniscient god. Subconsciously, he thought that a top master who reached Zhizhe's level should know everything about the mirror world.

In fact, no matter how powerful a master is, he is not a god after all. Because he stands too high, he will only pay attention to high-level things. He may not know more about the middle and lower levels than some ordinary people.

But on the other hand, since Zhizhe had never heard of this guild, it meant that the Demon Flame Guild was not a very well-known guild.

"What happened?" Looking at his expression, Zhizhe guessed that he must have encountered some situation in real life.

Yang Xu hurriedly described what was happening outside.

Zhizhe listened to him quietly. He was indifferent to the first part until Yang Xu mentioned the people who were trapped in the building. Zhizhe's expression suddenly changed.

"Prisoners? You mean, the people who are surrounded by them are called prisoners?" asked the stopper.

"Yes."

The stopper was silent for a moment before saying, "I recognize this prisoner."

"Oh?" Yang Xu was a little surprised.

The prisoner was only a seven-star guild member, and belonged to the Demon Flame Guild. The stopper had never even heard of the Demon Flame Guild, so how could he have heard of an ordinary member of their guild?

"Because, this prisoner is an informant of Grayscale." said the Stopper.

"Grayscale..." Yang Xu was surprised. This person was actually related to Grayscale?

"Of course, he's not an official member of Grayscale. Grayscale only has ten seats, and the tenth is called 'Faceless Man.' He's an intelligence expert, fully responsible for Grayscale's intelligence work. He has recruited and trained many spies around the world, scattered across various organizations in major cities. This has built a vast intelligence network that regularly provides him with various intelligence."

"And the prisoner is one of the Faceless Man's spies."

"I see..." Yang Xu nodded. The Faceless Man was ranked 50th on the Emperor's Ranking, the weakest member of Grayscale. He was originally an intelligence specialist, so his relative weakness was understandable.

"What are the characteristics of this prisoner?" Yang Xu asked again.

Although they knew that the prisoner was a Faceless Man, it seemed to be of no help to their current situation.

"Characteristics... This prisoner, as I recall, was originally a necromancer from the Everdark City. Later, he was recruited by the Faceless Man and became a spy for Grayscale. A few years later, his crimes were exposed, and his spy identity was revealed by the Everdark Legion. He had no choice but to change his name and, with the help of the Faceless Man, escape to the White Night Alliance and continue his spying career."

"I don't know what he did after that. After all, he wasn't one of my men, so I didn't pay much attention to him. But..."

The Stopper paused and said, "If we talk about characteristics, all the Faceless Man's spies actually have one thing in common."

"What are the characteristics?" Yang Xu asked.

"Smooth with all manner of people!"

The Stopper said, "Those chosen and trained by the Faceless Ones are all small individuals with extremely strong vitality. They are like sewer rats, very good at hiding their cards. They will do anything to survive. Often when everyone thinks they are dead, they always find a way to survive."

"You mean..." Yang Xu was stunned.

"Haha, for someone who has been a spy for so many years, it's impossible for him not to have thought of the enemy setting up an ambush at the resurrection point."

"Similarly, a person who cherishes his life like this will never put any treasure above his own life. His fearless attitude towards death can only be a means for him to delay time." The Stopper sneered.

"Delaying for time?"

Yang Xu frowned. If this man knew the enemy was already ambushing him at his respawn point, what was he still waiting for? Even if he delayed until the respawn cooldown was over, his situation wouldn't seem to change at all...

No! Yang Xu suddenly realized that it wasn't that nothing had changed. There was one thing that was constantly changing at the scene: the crowd!

As time goes by, more and more Qingyang City residents come to watch the excitement after hearing the news!

"He wants to use the crowd to escape?" Yang Xu asked.

"maybe……"

As the Stopper spoke, his expression suddenly changed, a flash of pain flashing across his face. Without a word, he stood up, walked to the edge of the boundary, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes in meditation. Yang Xu understood that the Stopper was about to have another attack of mania.

It was not easy for Zhizhe to persist in talking to him for such a long time today, so Yang Xu did not disturb him again.

Besides, the author has already pointed out enough.

After this analysis, he had roughly guessed what the prisoner wanted to do.

In this situation, all escape routes are blocked. The prisoner has only one way to survive, and that is to find a way to pass this hot potato on to an outsider, diverting the conflict and giving him a chance to fish in troubled waters...

Yang Xu put the matter aside for the time being, walked over to activate the stone statue, and began his daily training.

For the first three days, he conducted combat training as usual.

During the next four days, the sparring will be suspended and the Five Ghosts Moving Technique will be practiced instead.

After four days of practice, Yang Xu is now able to summon three little ghosts at the same time and can lift heavier objects.

In addition, in addition to 'Qian' and 'Xun', he also mastered two new talismans, 'Li' and 'Dui', which can transfer something in one direction.

Yang Xu stood up and tried it. He engraved the character "Dui" on the flying sword and the character "Li" on his body, then controlled the flying sword to fly out.

When the flying sword flew to twenty meters away, Yang Xu pinched his fingers and released the Five Ghosts Moving Technique. Three little ghosts appeared around him. The next second, his figure disappeared instantly and appeared next to the flying sword in the distance.

"This is equivalent to teleportation!"

Yang Xu was somewhat surprised. Although the teleportation distance could not be too far, and the character "li" could only be used on oneself, it still had practical value.

At this time, the seven days are coming to an end and the world is on the verge of collapse.

Yang Xu was just about to leave when he suddenly woke up and appeared beside him.

"Tomorrow's boundary-limiting training will be suspended. Tomorrow at midnight, you will use my identity to attend a meeting on my behalf."

"What meeting?" Yang Xu immediately became alert.

What kind of meeting would require the person to attend in person? Why would he be asked to attend on my behalf?
"Don't be nervous, just meeting some old friends."

The Stopper patted Yang Xu's shoulder and said, "After six o'clock this afternoon, go check your mailbox. There should be an extra ring, a cloak, and a letter in it."

"Put on the ring and the cloak, and no one will know who you are. Give those men the letter, and your mission will be accomplished."

"Where are we going to attend the meeting?" Yang Xu asked hurriedly when he saw that the world had begun to collapse.

"You'll know when you get the thing..."

With the last words of the Stopper, the pure white space completely collapsed.

Yang Xu woke up from his dream, opened his eyes, and saw the desolate sky of the mirror world.

"woke up?"

The Bloody Darkness's voice came: "I thought you were going to sleep for a long time..."

Yang Xu had this habit of going to bed at midnight every day. He had seen it before in the Bloody Darkness dungeon. At that time, he thought it was just a casual excuse, but he didn't expect it to be a real habit...

Yang Xu rubbed his forehead, sat up, and checked the time.

0:10 pm.

I woke up a little later than usual today.

"What's going on?" Yang Xu turned to look at the building in the distance. The building in front was still surrounded by layers of onlookers. Compared to before he went to sleep, the number of people nearby was obviously larger, reaching seven or eight hundred.

"It's still the same. Both sides are in a standoff, but they are both secretly making small moves. I guess they won't be able to hold back and will start fighting soon." said Bloody Dark.

In the current situation, it is basically impossible to gain any benefits. However, it is rare to encounter such a civil war among large guilds. It would be a pity to leave without seeing the result.

Yang Xu looked around and suddenly said, "This place is not good, let's change places."

"What's wrong?" Bloody Dark looked at him curiously.

Yang Xu shared the speculation he had discussed with Zhizhe before.

Bloody Dark's eyes lit up after hearing this: "You mean, the prisoner will throw away the treasure next?"

"possible."

Yang Xu actually didn't dare to make a guarantee, after all, it was just speculation.

"By the way, is there any prop that can deliver things to the surroundings over a large area?" Yang Xu asked.

The Demon Flame Guild's target was obviously those badges, and if the prisoners wanted to divert the conflict, they had to throw the badges to the outside and let the onlookers pick them up.

However, all the onlookers were cleared out by the Demon Flame Guild and moved 500 meters away. It was not easy to throw something meters away by brute force, and it was basically impossible to do it without props.

Throwing things around in a large area?

Bloody Darkness was startled and blurted out, "Yes! Fireworks!"

Fireworks do not refer to real-life fireworks, but a kind of magic prop from the Third Age.

His Bloody Dark skin belongs to the Third Age. He can go to the Third Age for one day every week and is quite familiar with various magic props in the Third Age.

He had witnessed it firsthand: a wealthy Third Age wizard, celebrating his daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, tied a large number of props to fireworks and set them ablaze throughout the city. The props blew into thousands of homes, drawing countless scrambles for them. Bloody Dark, with his agility, managed to snatch up quite a few props that day, making a small profit.
