Chapter 1638: Chapter 1638

He is not someone who doesn't know how to be flexible.

Gathering his thoughts and emotions, Jason prepared to challenge the True Skill again.

This time, he wasn't planning to 'stick to the rules'.

Instead, he intended to 'increase the intensity'.

For Jason, over this period, the basic acupoints of several True Skills had been almost fully opened and filled through his self-torturous method of practice.

Now, what he needed to do was 'overlap'!

To 'overlap' these acupoints that needed to be used!

However, there's no regret with True Skill!

According to original theories, each acupoint could only be used once!

Yet, Jason planned to use them several times!

After all, he was gifted.

"Hope the fullness can hold up!"

Jason quietly glanced at the 29456 points of fullness and was ready to start,

but at this moment, he sensed something unusual.

It wasn't inside 112 Zhengli Tree Street, but outside.

A cold aura flashed and then moved away towards the distance.

Moreover, the cold aura erupted from time to time.

As if it was worried he wouldn't notice it.

Jason squinted his eyes and snapped his fingers.

The dazed undead was slowly being controlled to walk out of Zhengli Tree Street.

The controller completely ignored this undead, invisible to ordinary people, his eyes tightly fixed on the house at 112 Zhengli Tree Street.

The controller was testing.

Testing whether the rumors were true.

Testing whether the target was capable.

But as the undead was about to walk out of Zhengli Tree Street, there was still no reaction from inside No. 112.

This made the controller a bit anxious.

After the unexpected event, they had completely fallen into a passive position.

Wanting to turn the situation around was almost impossible.

The only way was to temporarily stabilize the situation, then look for an 'escape' opportunity.

Compared to those blindly optimistic fools in the organization, this controller was very clear about what they were about to face.

From both official sources and the shadows.

"At this point, still hoping for 'fairness'?"

"Tert has stayed here too long, their brain must be fried!"

Thinking of the foolish words from those in the organization, the controller sneered silently.

But soon, it was overshadowed by anxiety. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel※fire.net

Because the undead he controlled had already walked out of Zhengli Tree Street, yet there was still no reaction from No. 112.

Was the intelligence incorrect?

The opponent was not 'one of us'.

Or had the opponent already left?

Various speculations and doubts began to emerge in his mind, just as the controller was about to leave temporarily, a cold dagger pressed against his neck—quietly, just as he noticed something, the dagger appeared.

For this, the controller was not surprised but pleased.

Because he not only felt the sharpness of the dagger, but also that familiar cold aura behind him.

That was the unique aura of 'them'.

"I wish to see your master!"

The controller spoke quickly.

Even if the dagger cut his skin, he didn't slow down his speech in the slightest.

Then, the controller heard the unique voice of the undead.

"State your identity and purpose."

Gloomy, hoarse, like the sound of friction on an icy surface.

The controller immediately removed his hood, revealing a middle-aged face.

The beard was neatly trimmed, and the hair was meticulously groomed.

The first impression he gave was well-dressed.

"I am Hofklo, advisor to His Majesty Sewock VII."

"I wish to meet with Lord Jason."

"Here for the 'Alliance'."

"And also for the..."

Hofklo, who had a brief conflict with Prince Ruitai at the station, directly stated his purpose.

Before arriving, Hofklo had thought it through clearly.

If he wanted an opportunity, he had to express it.

Not just his identity and information.

Whatever he could offer, he would give to Jason.

Coincidentally, he had what Jason wanted most—at least according to the information he had gathered, that was what Jason wanted most.

Hofklo was not very sure.

Especially after the cold aura behind him remained silent.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

Is this all just a facade Jason presents to the outside world?

But, at this point, it's already too late to recover.

"I came with sincerity, and besides this information, I also have some unknown secrets, and... quite a collection."

This time, his tone was more urgent than before.

Because the blade against his neck was pressing tighter.

If it had just cut the skin before,

now it was piercing into his flesh.

The inward-moving dagger stopped.

Hofklo breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As long as it's not someone without desire!

Hofklo thought, feeling the dagger ease off his neck, and he turned to look behind him, only to be stunned as the advisor to Sewock VII froze.

Standing behind him was the Undead, which he knew, so it wasn't what made him freeze.

The real reason for his shock was that he recognized this Undead.

Once favored by Prince Ruitai, the 'Shadow Warrior'!

A fifth-tier 'assassin'!

The latter was particularly important!

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Hofklo's forehead.

He realized he had been careless.

The 'Tomb Guardian' able to command a fifth-tier 'professional' like Daller must at least be a fifth-tier 'Bone Desecrator'!

But how could a 'Night Watcher' become a fifth-tier 'Tomb Guardian'!

This completely goes against the norm!

After all, this is a fifth-tier profession, not a fourth-tier!

The core task of a fifth-tier 'Bone Desecrator' is to 'complete two devastations (at least at the scale of ten thousand lives)'!

And the 'Night Watcher'?

The core of the 'Night Watcher' is, 'rescue a city targeted by monsters or bizarre entities (a city of at least ten thousand lives).'

Rescue first then destroy?

Or destroy first then rescue?

Hofklo's sweat flowed more and more.

Because no matter if it was the former or the latter, it indicated that Jason was even scarier than the collected information suggested.

At the very least, deep and calculating.

Is cooperating with such a person really suitable?

Moreover, this was the best-case scenario!

What if he was a lunatic similar to the 'Shepherd'?

Thinking of this, Hofklo felt like backing out.

But looking at Daller, Hofklo knew very well that he had no chance of escaping the watchful eye of a fifth-tier 'assassin', especially when the 'assassin' was undead.

Finally, Hofklo gritted his teeth.

He was prepared to risk everything.

Some secrets he hadn't planned on revealing, he now had to divulge.

How he knew Jason had already become a fifth-tier 'Night Watcher'.

Inside 11 Zhengli Tree Street, Luodeni and Matthew looked shocked at Hofklo as he came inside.

The middle-aged man, taking off his hood, gave the two a slight nod.

"I'm here to visit Lord Jason."

Saying this, the advisor to Sewock VII walked straight to the basement.

Daller had informed him that Jason was inside.

"Was that just Hofklo?"

After the advisor to Sewock VII headed to the basement, Matthew inquired.

Luodeni's voice was dry.

In fact, upon seeing Hofklo, Luodeni had already formed the suspicion, 'Could Sewock VII really have been done in by Jason?' in his mind.

Clearly, Matthew was thinking the same.

"How about we run away?"

"My intuition tells me that if we want to die, we should leave here immediately."

"If we don't want to..."

"Then be patient and wait!"

Luodeni said, sitting back down, closing his eyes to appear patient, but his eyeballs were moving restlessly beneath his eyelids.

Matthew glanced at Luodeni.

He pondered carefully again.

In the end, he laid back down.

He couldn't change anything either way, so he might as well take it one step at a time.

And in the basement, after Hofklo met Jason, he bowed politely and then spoke directly—

"The 'Shepherd' is in Tert!"

"He knows you've advanced to the fifth-tier 'Night Watcher'!"

"And he's preparing to..."

"Make a move against you!"
