Magus Tech Chapter 278: Cleanup

The night goes on.

On a remote street in Baishi City, two figures - Suomen and Mukoni appeared.

The two walked and talked in a low voice.

Mukoni complained a little, "If you want me to say, what you did to that auctioneer before was completely unnecessary."

"That's to ensure the accuracy of the information." Suo Men said.

"But the problem is that the information we got is of no value at all—we have already guessed—that the 'confidential' book was indeed handed over to that kid by the auction house, but for some reason, it was picked up by that kid Just lost it."

"..." Suomen was silent, and then spoke out for a while, "Anyway, you should pay attention to this matter. After completing today's task, I will report and explain the situation."

"As for making such a fuss?" Mu Keni rolled her eyes and said disdainfully.

"It's not a fuss, it's the organization's regulations." Suo Men said, "Although I know that many people above are mere formalities, even if I report it, they don't necessarily read it. But I put my own If things are done well, they won’t be able to trouble me if something goes wrong.”

"Whatever." Mu Keni shrugged, and glanced forward, "Um, by the way, are you here? The target is in this house, right?"

Speaking, Mu Keni stopped in front of a small courtyard made of white stones.

Suo Men stopped, looked at the courtyard, nodded, "Well, indeed."

"Well, finish the work early and rest early." Mu Keni said, walked towards the gate of the courtyard and knocked on the door.

…

In the courtyard, in a spacious study room, many candles are being lit, brightly lit.

In the middle of the room, there is a table with many gears, metal sheets, wires and other parts on the table.

A wrinkled old man is now hunched over, fiddling with these parts. As he fiddled with it, a fist-sized precision machine gradually took shape.

A moment later, the old man put the mechanical assembly on the table, and pressed somewhere, and the many gears on the machine started to rotate, making a "click, click, click" sound.

"Hoo—"

The wrinkled old man looked at the machine and let out a long breath, showing a satisfied expression. At this moment, there was a knock on the courtyard door outside.

"Bang bang bang! bang bang bang!"

"Huh?" The old man's eyes flashed, he was a little puzzled, he didn't know why someone came to him so late.

Glancing at the stable operation of the machine, the old man couldn't guess the identity and purpose of the knocker, he frowned and pushed open the door, and walked out.

Going to the gate of the courtyard, the old man opened the door with a "squeak" sound, looked outside, and saw that the remote street was dark and empty.

The old man frowned, closed the courtyard door, and walked back to the study muttering.

"Really, children nowadays are becoming more and more annoying. They don't go to bed so late, come out and knock on the door, and play pranks." , or I will definitely spank my **** very hard... Ga!"

The old man's words stopped abruptly, because he saw that there were two more people in the study for no reason, a man and a woman.

The woman among them was holding the machine he had assembled curiously, while the man was flipping through the things in his room very rudely.

"You guys!" The old man's eyes widened, and he felt his blood rushing up, and he yelled, "You two thieves, when did you come in! Quick...get out of here! You...you This bitch, don't touch my baby, and you **** guy, don't flip through my books and scrolls."

The old man yelled loudly, but the man and woman were unmoved at all, and continued to do their own things, ignoring him at all.

The old man was angry, and he scanned his eyes. He saw a black wooden walking stick in the corner, picked it up, and hit the woman viciously. At this moment, the old man didn't have any feelings of pity and sympathy. He just wanted to knock down the woman who dared to touch his treasure and **** it back.

But he swung the wooden crutch hard, and the woman stretched out her hand and waved it lightly. With a "crash", the wooden crutch shattered in mid-air.

"You! This!" The old man's eyes widened, holding the small half of the wooden walking stick left in his hand, he looked at the woman, then at the man, and realized something, "You are... wizards?"

No one answered his words.

The man rummaged through the bookshelf and found several papyrus scrolls, walked over, opened them in front of his eyes, and asked aloud, "Is the content on these scrolls what you are researching?"

"Um..."

"That's good." The man shook his hand, and the scroll disappeared without a trace.

At this time, the woman holding the mechanical creation let out a chuckle, and when she exerted force with one hand, the machine in her hand suddenly deformed. Gears, metal wires and other parts that were originally perfectly embedded in the machine flew in all directions with a "crash".

"No!" The old man saw it, his eyes were about to burst, his whole body trembled, he didn't know whether it was anger or fear, he looked at the man and woman and shouted, "Who the **** are you?! Why are you doing this?!"

The man finally replied: "We are the ones who killed you. As for why, it is very simple, because... well, some things and some people should not appear in this world."

"But..."

"No but, goodbye." The man said, stepped up, walked up to the old man, and gently tapped the old man's forehead.

The old man shook violently, his body fell straight backwards, and he fell to the ground with a "bang", a blood hole appeared between his eyebrows, and blood was flowing out continuously.

The man looked at it, shook his head slightly, stretched out his finger and swiped in the air, and a golden flame was born.

The next moment, with a flick of the finger, flames flew out, suspended in mid-air, and burned quietly.

"Let's go." The man said to the woman ~IndoMTL.com~ Got it. "The woman made a sound, walked out of the study, and followed the man out of the courtyard.

Not long after, flames several meters high rose from the courtyard, burning the entire courtyard, and the flames could be clearly seen thousands of meters away.

…

"Swipe!"

Two black shadows flew over in the night, landed on the street, looked at the burning courtyard, narrowed their eyes slightly.

"An accident happened again." The first black shadow shook his head and sighed.

"It's not peaceful recently." The second black shadow echoed, with a dignified voice, "It seems that some people in the city need to be beaten."

"I hope those people don't say anything strange about this incident." The first black shadow said worriedly.

"We can't stop talking strange things, we just have to do our own thing." The second black shadow looked away, "Okay, the situation is not serious, let the rest of the people investigate slowly, we can leave Already."

"Yeah." The first black shadow nodded, and the second black shadow turned around and was about to leave.

As a result, just a few steps away, the second black shadow suddenly thought of something, turned around sharply, and slapped his head: "Um, I almost forgot."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a silver-white light flew out and shot into the blazing flame.

A cherry-sized ice core was wrapped in the silver-white light, and it exploded as soon as it came into contact with the flame. With a sound of "bang", goose-feather-like snowflakes fluttered throughout the courtyard, causing the temperature to drop rapidly, the flame was suppressed and extinguished abruptly, and a thin layer of ice formed on the ground of the entire courtyard.

The second black shadow took a look and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it should be fine now, you can really leave."

"Um..."

"Swipe!"

Two black shadows jumped into the air and flew into the distance in the night.
