Chapter 448: Chapter 445: Found the Right Place!

Beneath the night sky.

Two figures easily crossed the gap between rooftops, then together stepped onto the top of this three-story office building.

Supported by their outstanding physical conditions.

The entire rooftop crossing process was very swift and effortless, taking even less than a minute.

"Ronald, do you feel it?" Standing on top of the office building, Halloys smiled at Ronald with a hint of pride in her glance downward, "My discovery wasn’t wrong, was it?"

"Very accurate," Ronald nodded in agreement.

Other matters were put aside for the moment.

When it came to detecting traces of the mystical realm, Halloys’s abilities were truly impressive.

It was only after Ronald himself stood atop the office building that he could confirm the powerful Magic Power lingering within the structure beneath him, understanding that there was undoubtedly some kind of mysterious ritual or Spell being conducted inside.

And Halloys?

She was able to sense such phenomena even from outside of the block, which spoke volumes about her remarkable abilities.

Feeling quite pleased with herself, Halloys took the initiative to volunteer:

"Ronald, I’m particularly sensitive to changes in Magic Fluctuation, so I’ll take the lead. If any concealed entity approaches us, remember to alert me."

"No problem."

After deciding on their respective positions for the action, Ronald and Halloys immediately leaped from the edge of the office building. For them, dropping from the rooftop of the third floor to a second-floor window posed no difficulty; it was as simple as walking down an ordinary flight of stairs.

Thus without making the slightest sound, nor attracting any attention.

The two of them slipped through the open window in this effortless manner and stepped onto the corridor of the office building’s second floor.

At their current location, they were at one end of the outer side of the building’s mountain-shaped corridor. Light bulbs placed in the upper corners of the walls provided steady lighting, and the floor beneath them was covered with a layer of monochromatic carpet.

Aside from the faint hum of the lights, no sign of anyone could be seen.

Of course, that excluded Ronald with his excellent hearing.

He could faintly discern the sounds of office work and slacking off napping coming from several rooms around him. Regrettably, beyond these, Ronald had no other sources of information; the scene presented here was just that of a typical office building.

Therefore, Ronald reminded Halloys in a hushed voice:

"Besides what we discussed before coming in, the Spirit of the people here is somewhat off, but I haven’t detected anything else."

"Wait a moment..."

Halloys nodded in acknowledgment.

But she didn’t abandon her plans to explore the area just because of Ronald’s assessment.

She naturally softened her footsteps, then approached a room where someone was working. Bending slightly and shifting her viewpoint, Halloys carefully peered through the keyhole.

Discounting the more expensive security designs.

Locks of this era were generally of the older design, and one could glimpse inside through the keyhole.

At this moment, all that appeared in Halloys’s view was a young man sitting quietly inside the office, writing in a ledger or something of the sort with a pen.

"..."

Halloys frowned slightly.

There was Magic Fluctuation around the guy, but it was clearly the kind that came from being a victim of a Spell, completely unaware of it. Besides this one person, there was nothing within the visible range of the room that seemed noteworthy.

It looked... was there really nothing amiss here?

After confirming that, Halloys straightened up and stealthily moved to the door of another office, spying inside in the same manner.

However, after scanning four rooms in succession.

All the results she got were exactly the same.

The number of people varied, each with differences, but most of them were engrossed in their work or slacking off, without any unexpected discoveries.

At that point, Heloise finally shook her head in resignation:

"It seems there’s really nothing to gain on the second floor."

Ronald immediately chimed in,

"When Ilian was interrogating that guy, didn’t he say something about providing ’food’ to ordinary people? Should we go down a floor and take a look?"

"Let’s continue."

Ronald and Heloise discussed in low voices before moving on.

As they prepared to go downstairs, an office worker working late was walking towards them from the first floor, holding files.

Hearing the noise from below, Ronald instinctively wanted to hide.

However, at that moment, Heloise grabbed the hem of his garment.

"Ronald, let’s test the waters with this guy!"

"Is that really okay? What if it startles the snake in the grass?"

"We’ve already come this far, let’s be cautious and boldly probe!"

Persuaded by Heloise, Ronald sighed softly and walked down, then bumped straight into the person.

"Ah?"

The employee, who was about to go upstairs, was immediately startled.

A strange man stood in front of him, and behind him was a girl so beautiful that he was lost for words. When had these two people appeared in his company?

Faced with this situation, the employee instinctively stepped back.

As a result, he missed his step on the stairs.

Watching the young office worker falling backward, Ronald sighed inside.

Scared like this by a stranger, with no Magic Fluctuation inside as a Caster should have, was there any need for further testing?

With a light rubbing of his fingers, the ability of the "Archangel" tugged on the employee’s clothing and dragged him back, saving him from a tragic fate with the back of his head hitting the ground.

As for the one being acted upon, the office worker’s brain could no longer process the current situation: "You... what is this... I..."

He had just begun his confused inquiry,

when Ronald’s authoritative and demonic voice interrupted him:

"Listen, you haven’t seen the two of us today, continue with your previous work."

"Uh..."

The ability of the "Authority Angel" immediately took effect.

The office worker didn’t say another word, turned his head with his files to bypass the two on the stairs, and headed straight to his office on the second floor. Ronald could even hear him muttering, "Working overtime this late, I’ve really had enough..." as he passed by.

Watching the young man disappear up the staircase, Ronald turned his eyes helplessly towards Heloise:

"Dull and ordinary reaction, can be normally influenced by a spell."

Heloise shrugged her shoulders:

"At the very least, this means that our enemy isn’t every ordinary person in this building, which is good news."

The two continued downward, and this time, they encountered no further nuisance from ordinary people.

However, when they arrived at the kitchen in the corner of the first floor, the situation was completely different.

In this rather unremarkable room,

heavy and slow footsteps lingered, and the breathing that was much more rugged than that of humans echoed incessantly.

They stopped in tacit understanding, Ronald and Heloise exchanged glances.

Both could see what the other was thinking.

We’ve found the right place!
