Then the scene on Eula's side changed, and Noelle came into view.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Noelle was visibly panicked. "As long as Senior isn't going to lift my skirt, I can still support it."

Hey! Is that the image you have of me?!

He complained loudly in his mind, but he felt a completely different feeling in his heart.

So, this is what it really feels like to be a leader?

Well, that doesn't feel bad.

"Then I'll be rude, Noelle—"

"Hey!!"

Chapter 179 Accident

As expected, there was still no gain today, but Luo Mu's mood was slightly different from before.

Since there is no harvest today, let’s go and catch people tomorrow!

After these few days, he finally began to look forward to the next day again.

Of course, before arriving on the second day, they also completed Eula's daily tasks, and the number of people on the list decreased by 1.

The progress here is quite smooth, but according to Eula, although many people have been arrested, the other people on the list are still like a stagnant pool of water and have not revealed any information, so the progress here has actually stagnated.

However, Luo Mu does not have the energy to pay attention to this matter for the time being. In fact, it is not something that requires his attention.

***

As he expected, the next day finally arrived.

After several days of investigation, they already had detailed information about the target, including his address and his habits of going to work at night and returning home in the morning.

Therefore, early in the morning, Luo Mu led his team to set up an ambush downstairs of the target's residential building. The entire building was also checked in advance, waiting for the target to arrive.

"After you control her, don't worry about anything else. Don't let her make any noise. Then take everyone with you to the target's house. We'll talk about anything when we get there."

Luo Mu gave instructions in a somewhat nagging tone.

These were actually what had been agreed upon when the plan was being arranged, but he really couldn't stop now.

Maybe they were a little excited, or maybe they were a little nervous, but this time, Noelle and Barbara obeyed the captain's command with understanding.

"coming."

Eula, who had been paying close attention to the situation, gave a brief reminder.

Luo Mu's eyes lit up, and after confirming it, he raised his hand without hesitation:

"Up, up, up!"

He rushed forward first.

It wasn't that he was excited, but it was also a well-arranged plan.

He was responsible for arresting people, Eula was responsible for being alert to all possible accidents, and Noelle was responsible for covering Barbara.

He landed in front of the target with precision and efficiency. While the other party was stunned for a moment, he instantly locked the target's arm, covered his mouth, and ran towards the residential building with the person in his arms.

It was not until this time that the brown-haired beautiful girl who was caught by him reacted and struggled desperately, but as they had confirmed these days, this beautiful girl was just an ordinary person, and that little bit of strength was completely useless.

Luo Mu and his team quickly entered the residential building, came to the target house, opened the door and went in.

Great, everything went well!

Luo Mu turned his head and looked at Eula with a little excitement, but found that Eula was frowning and looking at his hand.

He couldn't help but be stunned.

"what happened?"

"She's dead."

"——??"

He suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head. He quickly turned around to look at the brown-haired beauty in his arms. The other party was indeed motionless now.

He felt the carotid artery.

"..."

No movement.

"This, it can't be that I killed him, right? I was paying attention."

He subconsciously released the target's hands and looked at the motionless woman lying on the ground. His original excitement had completely disappeared without a trace, and instead he felt a little confused, very confused.

"How could this happen? I also don't think that senior would make such a mistake."

Noelle turned his gaze to Eula, and even rarely opposed Luo Mu.

Eula didn't answer the question directly, but looked at Barbara.

"Did you discover anything just now?"

"Eh? No..."

Barbara was startled, then seemed to remember something and hurriedly took out her prayer book.

There was no need for any special prayer ceremony at this time. A hazy purple-black mist soon emerged from the female body on the ground.

Barbara's eyes suddenly widened.

"How could this be... the aura of the ritual spread, and it killed the host, but why didn't I notice it at all..."

As a result, Barbara also looked very shocked.

Eula opened her mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly closed it and turned to look at Luo Mu.

At this time, Luo Mu was standing next to her with a sullen face. He raised his hands and slapped his head hard a few times, even making a "bang bang" sound. Then he exhaled forcefully and looked at Barbara, who looked unacceptable and shocked.

"It's not time to show that expression yet. If you give up now, you'll really lose!"

I don’t want my big sister to leave me!

He laughed at himself in his heart, while continuing to look at Barbara who raised her head and was about to cry.

"Let me confirm this first, Barbara. What you just said is, normally, you should have noticed this situation?"

"Yes, yes. I have always been diligent in maintaining the monitoring ritual. I even didn't forget to do it when I was sleeping."

Barbara's voice sounded very aggrieved, as if she was about to cry, but Luo Mu had no time to comfort her at this moment. He was trying his best to keep his brain working while remaining calm.

"If that's the case, then it means the enemy used some means unknown to you to detonate the ritual aura within the target's body."

"Yes……"

This seems like nonsense.

Calm down, calm down.

He thought of a question, looked at the pitiful Barbara, and then turned to look at Eula:

"How is Barbara doing at the Cathedral?"

"If it's about strength, it's definitely average, but as a pre-selected high priest, you can still be assured of his level of prayer. Otherwise, Captain Qin wouldn't have recommended his sister here."

Eula answered without hesitation.

"Okay, so we can assume that the enemy can't easily hide their actions from Barbara. During your surveillance these past few days, have any suspicious individuals approached the target while Barbara was away?"

Eula shook her head.

"You can rest assured about this. The target's daytime schedule for the next two days is very simple, and you will also be there at night."

In that case...

Luo Mu could only look at Barbara again, then raised his hands to hold Barbara's pitiful and lovely face, looked into the girl's eyes and said seriously:

"Okay, now think about it carefully. If the enemy hasn't contacted the target, and you can be confident that most methods cannot be hidden from you, then how could they have achieved the current situation?"

Barbara sniffed and blinked.

He saw that the corners of Miss Idol's eyes were indeed a little moist, but at this time Barbara was still trying hard to look thoughtful.

"Unless... unless they had planted a fuse in this aura ahead of time, so that it would explode as soon as a specific situation occurred. I was afraid of problems and didn't dare to delve too deeply into this aura before."

"Bury it in advance..."

Luo Mu was also stunned.

He looked up at Eula, and saw an expression of surprise on Eula's face.

It seems that at this time, he and Eula are in similar situations.

But the question now is, how far in advance is that? And since it was laid in advance, doesn't that mean... this is a trap?

Chapter 180 Lisa's Great Crisis

Gan!

Luo Mu was shocked by his own conclusion and quickly alerted his surroundings, but he quickly reacted -

Before they took action, they had already conducted a safety check on the entire building, and they also had arrangements in place for the entire community.

Although the target's death was indeed unexpected, Luo Mu, who was excited before, had almost achieved foolproof results in other aspects. Since he didn't find any problems, it meant that there was probably no ambush.

Having said that, Luo Mu still gave instructions to others in a straightforward manner:

"Leave here first, and let the security department investigate later!"

Eula also nodded.

They quickly left the residential building and then found themselves with nowhere to go.

The target is dead and there are no new clues. The investigation is now completely interrupted. At this moment when time is tight, this is almost fatal.

"So, this is the opponent's goal..."

Luo Mu gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "They don't need to ambush us, just wasting our time is the biggest ambush."

There was no denying that at this moment, he did feel discouraged.

Not only had he fallen into the enemy's trap, but now he didn't have much time left. It looked like he was doomed no matter how he looked at it, and he had become a clown.

But that's not right——

He suddenly thought of a question.

In order to ensure that the target was correct, I clearly asked Mona for divination, right?

Could it be that my genius lady is in trouble this time?

Or... even if this is a trap, we can still find clues about the mastermind from this target...

Eula originally wanted to comfort Luo Mu, but she saw him frowning and lost in thought.

Things seem to be taking a turn for the better.

It’s probably not the time to feel sorry for themselves yet. They did fall into the enemy’s trap, but they also did sufficient preparation. It’s still unclear who will be the one to be punished by the clown’s nose!

Luo Mu patted his head again.

Think about it carefully!

He retrieved the thread he had just thought of at the target's house.

Since the enemy had laid a trap in advance, it meant that the opponent had anticipated their actions, but this was not right!

After he discovered Lisa's problem, he only told Eula and Noelle, and then reported it directly to Captain Jean, who then recommended Barbara.

Logically speaking, their actions should have been kept secret from the beginning to the end. Did someone go wrong in the process?

He shook his head subconsciously.

I don't believe it! I won't accept that there's something wrong with the players I picked!

So there was a problem with the other department they called?

This doesn't make sense. The target clue appeared on the second day of their operation, and they only operated for one night on the first day. This means that the opponent could only prepare this trap before the second day.
