Weighing the gold coins in his hand, the pudgy boss said: "Go back and wait at the place written here at midnight today."

He showed a piece of paper and asked Li Rui to see clearly the place and specific time recorded on it, but he did not hand it over.

"If you are late, don't expect me to wait for you. The money will not be refunded." The attitude of the smuggler boss was very tough.

Of course Li Rui wouldn't, he agreed with a smile and then left.

"What now? Just wait? Do you want to find a way to find out this guy's background?" Cheng Mingyue asked.

"Wait, don't stir up trouble. If it causes other troubles, it will be a bit troublesome."

Li Rui said, "It doesn't matter. He is obviously not an extraordinary person and cannot capsize the boat."

So the two of them waited in the city. At two o'clock in the morning, they arrived at the scheduled location. However, they did not show up directly. Instead, they hid in the dark and observed the situation nearby.

"There are people in the two alleys next to them. They are two ordinary people. They seem to be observing."

"There are already a dozen people at the reserved place, so there's no problem."

After the two of them confirmed that this was a normal stowaway and not a trap, they waited for a while and then showed up.

This time, they also wore hats, masks, etc. that concealed their faces.

As stowaways, this is of course normal. Others are more or less concealed. Only a few of them seem to have no plans. After arriving here, they realize that they are too upright. They can only try to turn their backs to others, or turn their backs to others. The hat at the back of the clothes was pulled up to make it fit.

Soon, a tall and burly man appeared, who was not the same person as the smuggler boss during the day.

Li Rui and Cheng Mingyue looked at each other and both confirmed that this was an extraordinary person, but his strength was very weak, probably no more than level 20. Because of the crushing perception attributes, it was impossible for the other party to detect their abnormality.

After everyone confirmed their identities one by one, the big man led the way around to another intersection, where a van was parked.

"Get up there and don't say anything. If anyone causes trouble, they will be kicked off the car. Don't blame me then."

Of course, not all those who want to enter the restricted area illegally at this time are people like Li Rui. Most of them are actually civilians who want to enter the restricted area and accept the protection of the Holy Inquisition High Court.

Even if you become a gangster and work illegally, it is still much better than worrying about war outside.

Li Rui and Cheng Mingyue sat low-key in the corner, secretly assessing the situation and ready to react at any time if something went wrong.

However, within two minutes, the person sitting opposite them met their eyes.

This man was wearing a black sweatshirt, a hat on his head, and a mask. Only his eyes were exposed, with a pair of brown glasses outside.

Both sides felt a threat.

Extraordinary one.

They are both aware of each other's identities.

And they were all surprised to find that they couldn't see through each other, which meant that they were very close in strength. Put here, they were all top-notch masters.

"What are you looking at? Since you want to go in, be honest."

Cheng Mingyue said fiercely, but this was actually a hint, meaning don't make any noise, otherwise no one would be able to achieve their goal once exposed.

The other person had a fierce look in his eyes, but the person next to him pulled him back.

"You're right, peace can keep us all safe."

The two parties reached a tacit agreement and neither spoke again.

Only the big man escorting them in the carriage glared at the four of them.

"Shut up, don't speak. Damn it, if you don't obey, I'll throw you all out."

He didn't know that any of the people he threatened could kill him on the spot with just a flick of his finger.

Soon, the car started and set off with a swaying motion.

Li Rui silently felt the speed of the car in his mind and determined that the car had driven about thirty kilometers before stopping.

"We've passed the test now," Cheng Mingyue said in a low voice.

The restricted areas of the Holy Inquisition High Court also need supplies. Such trucks often have to pass through checkpoints. To pass the checkpoints, someone needs to be inspected, but there is room for operation if someone is there.

I don’t know who is behind the smuggler. Anyway, the well-sound-insulated carriage has not been opened from beginning to end. Soon the car started again, drove about ten kilometers in, and then stopped.

The big man escorting the car got out of the car first, then opened the door, revealing a wall outside the door, which was a warehouse in use.

"Just wait, someone will take you out at dawn. Running around in the middle of the night, I will not be responsible for your death. The Holy Inquisition will not be as kind as me when seeing unidentified people."

He said confidently, seemingly convinced of his so-called friendly evaluation.

Li Rui, Cheng Mingyue and others naturally waited where they were asked. Even they didn't want to go out for a walk in the early morning. It would be too conspicuous. After all, this is a restricted area under the jurisdiction of the Holy Inquisition High Court, not the night market of Dragon Kingdom.

The sun gradually rose, and sure enough, someone came to take them out, but before that, the visitor asked them who needed work. Obviously, if they needed it, they would definitely be sent to serve as cheap labor.

At least half of the stowaways chose to stay, while the others left safely.

"It seems like the people behind them have a lot of background."

Li Rui said, "The confidentiality measures are too poor, and we are actually allowed to come out on our own."

He looked back and saw that this warehouse belonged to a cold chain transportation company. The fact that it was located in the direct area of ​​the Holy Inquisition High Court meant that the boss was probably a priest or something.

The two quickly left and came to the street.

It is very close to the Holy Mountain. When you look up, you can see the huge covered statue. At the bottom of the mountain is a small city. Most of the people living here are people from the Holy Inquisition High Court and their relatives. The rest are for protection. Necessary residents mainly provide some labor force.

But if you ignore the identity of the local residents, this place looks no different from a normal large town during the day, except that there are no high-rise buildings.

After the sun rose, there were gradually more people outside. The two of them took off the masks that covered their faces and walked on the street like two ordinary people.

"What to do now?" Cheng Mingyue asked.

"Work."

Li Rui said, "There are almost no outsiders here. It is easy to be discovered when going to a hotel or something. We need to investigate as soon as possible and then retreat as soon as possible."

However, he was soon slapped in the face. Now the penalty area is overcrowded. It can be said that there are outsiders sneaking in everywhere, even to the point where they can be seen at a glance.

"It's strange, why do the Holy Inquisition High Court just ignore the sudden increase of so many people? Aren't they usually cracking down on stowaways?"

Li Rui also shook his head in confusion: "Maybe a large number of manpower has been transferred to the front line, and there will be no time to take care of it. It's a good thing!"

In fact, this is just a joke. No matter what, the Holy Inquisition High Court will definitely not be able to control the area at the foot of the Holy Mountain. However, there are already many abnormal things, and this is nothing in comparison.

He looked at the street, which was not supposed to be lively but was now crowded with people. He always felt that something was wrong, as if the Holy Inquisition High Court was deliberately letting these outsiders in.

But why?

He didn't have an answer yet.
