<h4>Chapter 819 Subteam Operation</h4>


    819 Subteam Operation


    In the evening, in Trier, at 35 Rue Saint-Nornez in Quartier 20, known for its public cemetery.


    In different states of invisibility, Franca, Jenna, and Anthony stood outside Room 6 on the fifth floor, checking the details of the environment and making final preparations for their operation.


    ording to the information provided by Periodic Table, Nik, a suspected member of the Moses Ascetic Order and possibly a Mirror Person, was an ordinary employee of a grainpany, living a very regr life, leaving home punctually every day and returning on time.


    The only unusual thing about Nik was that, despite being in his mid-thirties, he was still unmarried, citing severe intermittent migraines as the reason why women found him unappealing.


    When Franca read this information, she immediately thought, This matches the characteristic of Mystery Pryers continuously influenced by the evil god, Hidden Sage... Could it be that Mirror People of the Mystery Pryer pathway are also infused with knowledge by the Hidden Sage?


    Recalling the content of the dossier, Franca emerged from her invisibility state and created ayer of frost, making it seep into the keyhole and freeze solid.


    As a result, she produced a crystalline key and easily opened Nik''s door.


    Taking advantage of the fact that this ordinary employee hadn''t yet returned home from work, Franca took out a mirror and began divination to avoid any traps or warning setups that might be in the apartment.


    "Bedroom, living room, and guest room all have full-length mirrors, and there are up to fifteen or sixteen portable mirrors. If you''re not a Mirror Person, who would believe that?" Franca mumbled to herself, checking the room twice.


    She was also conveying the collected information to Jenna and Anthony outside the door.


    Of course, there was another possibility for so many mirrors, which was that Nik was a Demoness. However, it was obvious that this individual was not an exceptionally attractive female, nor even a female at all.


    Franca went to the full-length mirror in the living room, looked at Jenna and Anthony''s figures in the hallway, and said, "I''ll ambush behind this mirror. Follow the n to force the target into this mirror. If he can use the mirror world, we can confirm he''s the Mirror Person, Griffith."


    As she spoke, ck mes quietly burned around the room, erasing traces left by the previous search.


    Jenna nodded slightly and specifically reminded, "Be careful of an ambush behind the mirror, like the one Lumian encountered before."


    "Don''t worry. Magic Mirror Divination told me there''s no ambush. Of course, I won''t fully trust and rely on divination. I''ll stay vignt." Franca felt Jenna''s concern, smiling as she took out the Seven-Stone Bracelet from the Traveler''s Bag, now with only two diamonds left, and tossed it outside.


    As she threw it, she couldn''t help but mutter in her heart, Out with the old, in with the new, out with the old, in with the new...


    Once Jenna caught the Seven-Stone Bracelet, Franca reiterated, "After confirming Nik enters this mirror, you both immediately teleport away, using that fixed entrance to the mirror world to assist me."


    "No problem," Anthony replied, wearing gloves, closing the apartment door, and warming the lock area, which had be icy from the cold key.


    This was to prevent Nik from sensing the residual cold and suspecting anything amiss when he opened the door.


    Once Jenna and Anthony left, Franca took out the Ice Amulet, hanging it around her neck.


    Then she ced her palm against the full-length mirror in the living room.


    With a sh of cold light, she silently passed through the ss.


    Behind the mirror was void, a spider-web-like deep dark tunnel filled Franca''s vision.


    Keeping a close watch on the surroundings, Franca breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, No ambush.


    Confirming this, she leaned closer to the mirror, peering through the ss into the apartment''s living room: Nik had not yet returned, and outside, the dusk was eerily quiet.


    Franca''s nerves instinctively tightened. She raised her right hand, rubbed her temples, and sighed.


    It would be great if Lumian were here...


    This operation was proposed and perfected by her, killing many of her brain cells and making her responsible for achieving the goal without severely harming Jenna and Anthony. She couldn''t rx at all.


    In the past, Lumian bore these burdens and responsibilities. She only needed to question and use her imagination toplete her part of the task.


    Sigh, being a team leader is exhausting, no chance to ck off... Francaposed herself and patiently waited.


    In the café diagonally across from 35 Rue Saint-Nornez.


    Jenna, now a girl in a ck dress with her hood removed, sat by the window, chatting with Anthony about various Trier anecdotes.


    Suddenly, she propped her left elbow on the table, using her palm to press down her original xen hair, her voice dropping slightly. "The target is back."


    Anthony, while acting attracted to the beautiful woman opposite, nced with his peripheral vision at the apartment building.


    A double-decker public carriage had stopped by the roadside, and a man in his thirties wearing a ck wool coat and a half-high silk top hat got off.


    The man was nearly six feet tall, walked steadily, had a thin face with distinct features, and rare deep ck eyes.


    It''s definitely Nik... Anthony nodded slightly to Jenna, confirming she hadn''t mistaken the target.


    Jenna then straightened her head, withdrew her left hand, and nced at the cuckoo clock on the café wall.


    She smiled lightly at Anthony and said, "Three minutes to go."


    She meant that in three minutes, the operation would officially start.


    The reason for waiting three more minutes in the café was to avoid Nik''s instinctual investigation as a Mystery Pryer after returning home.


    This was a detail discussed and decided by Franca, Jenna, and Anthony.


    ...


    Nik, wearing a half-high silk top hat, walked step by step up to the fifth floor and stopped outside Room 6.


    He didn''t open the door immediately but raised his right hand and rubbed his temples.


    Then he closed his eyes briefly and reopened them, his pupils now a deep purple with a mysterious aura.


    Eye of Mystery Prying!


    Usually, Nik used special Warlock spells to weaken the effect of the Eye of Mystery Prying to avoid sudden death, but it couldn''t bepletely sealed. Now, he was using it to its full potential to observe the surroundings inside and outside the room.


    Bugs on the ceiling, hairs in the cracks, the neighbor cooking in front of the coal stove, dust floating in the air, children running up and down the stairs, rats hiding in the shadows, pedestrians passing by on the streets -all these scenes ovepped in Nik''s deep purple eyes.


    At the same time, he saw shadowy curtains around him and dark aqueous light on the surfaces of all mirrors.


    Before the gaze behind the shadowy curtain could be more pronounced, Nik ended his observation abruptly, closing his eyes.


    He knew if he continued looking, something unpredictable might happen, filling him with fear.


    Phew... The Eye of Mystery Prying is truly dangerous. Listeners on the Secrets Suppliant pathway hear things, we see things, and both are equally likely to encounter the forbidden and die mysteriously... Nik muttered, pulling out a brown leather scroll from an inner pocket of his ck wool coat, softly chanting a word in Hermes-"Myopia."


    The scroll immediately ignited with ck mes, quickly turning to ash.


    The mysterious deep purple in Nik''s eyes faded into the ck depths of his pupils.


    After doing this, Nik took out his key and opened the door.


    He had confirmed there were no suspicious individuals or enemies hiding in the shadows, nor were there any signs of abnormalities around the apartment or the street.


    Entering the living room, closing the door behind him, Nik unbuttoned the top of his wool coat and white shirt, rxing on the sofa with his arms stretched out.


    Franca, watching from behind the full-length mirror, took advantage of Nik''s forward movement to grab a beer from the coffee table, extending her right hand slightly through the mirror, pressing it tightly against the ss.


    When Nik sat back on the sofa, Franca immediately withdrew her hand.


    Gulping beer, Nik read the newspapers he had brought back, behaving like any ordinary employee.


    Time passed slowly, and as three minutes psed, Jenna and Anthony left the café, turning into a nearby secluded alley, preparing both their shadow hiding and Psychological Invisibility techniques.


    They quickly returned to the target apartment and hid in their prearranged positions.


    At this time, Nik was still reading the newspapers, considering whether to go out for dinner or cook something simple.


    Suddenly, Nik''s throat felt dry and itchy, as if he hadn''t drunk water for a long time.


    He coughed once and thought, I drank half a bottle of beer, why is my throat so dry?


    As this thought crossed his mind, he couldn''t help but cough again.


    Immediately, a strong sense of unease washed over him.


    Something''s wrong!


    Just as Nik became alert, Jenna, hearing two consecutive coughs from the target through the wall, emerged from the shadows without hesitation. With her hood still on, she inserted the Arrow of the Bloodthirsty into her own heart.


    Her xen hair seemed to lengthen slightly, her contours became more refined, and her facial features more stunning. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Previously, Jenna''s beauty highlighted her feminine charm, an expression of femininity. Now, her beauty seemed to be a more independent concept, alluring by sheer virtue of its existence.


    Through the door, she made the shadows beneath Nik''s feet and the surrounding darkness coalesce into illusory yet solid ck chains, wrapping around the target.
