How the Villain Lives

40. Trust

After Lucia left, Sung-hoon sneaks up and starts looking around. As I refined my mind, I soon began to widen the space I could sense. It's not that hard to notice the sound of a person's breathing, the popularity, the presence of someone a few tens of meters away right now. Even if it's not Sung-hoon, it's easy for someone who is somewhat skilled or sensible.

And after finding out something, Sung-hoon murmured with his tail up.

"I can't believe it."

No person existed within a radius of a few tens of meters from the origin of this house, within a range wider than that sensed by Sung-hoon. If he's a fool, he'll move right away. But Sung-hoon wasn't stupid. It is in any situation that one doubts and no one believes.

"Stupid. If you suspect I'm a spy, don't you have to put someone on the line to stop me from acting suspicious? '

Don't you know that if you get rid of people like this, they'll live more suspiciously on the reverse?

If it's Sung-hoon, I won't do it this way. I will set up one or two watchmen for the purpose of making sure that nothing can be done with the Tent of Evil, or I will loose them so that they can act as they are now.

Lucia's reaction made it clear that she was already somewhat wary of herself. Of course, everything can be mistaken. In fact, Arben and Lucia may not doubt the fact that they brought it, but they can trust it like hell. Of course, that is an advantage in itself. I can relay the information here to the Dark Elves as much as I want.

Interference.

Sung-hoon, who opened the door carefully, bowed as quickly as possible and began to ride the tree somewhere. It's only because there was no one within the range that he could detect, that he could be monitored from a much farther distance, and perhaps someone as hideous as Yoohyun could be hiding.

It was a small log house on the outskirts of the city of Elves, relatively far from the World Water. That's why it was easy to get out of the city. Then, when the situation was in the middle of the night and the topography of the forest merged and arrived at a place that could not be separated before the end of the night, Sung-hoon said a word quietly.

"Summon."

"Haaam, what happened this time...?!"

Before the vagrant speaks useless words, Sung-hoon quickly grabs her mouth and brings her fingers to her mouth. Then Borang remembered the order from Seonghoon late, and began to look around.

"Borang is at the heart of this operation. '

An accidental summon that can be summoned anytime, anywhere. This time, it is clear that Borat skin and horns on the forehead will play a greater role than human appearance. Borang has played a really important role in deceiving Japan and getting elixirs. It's just because the owner is Sung-hoon, he doesn't receive any special treatment, and he rolls around every day.

Borang, who coughed for a moment, immediately looked at Sung-hoon with a cold expression.

"Yonke, you made it on time."

"I had fewer eyes for surveillance than I expected, so I was able to get out easily."

I don't think there are opponents who would not be detected even if I didn't know they were close enough to hear the two stories. But the whole world was just in case. Corresponding to Wanderer who can only notice that he is a demon, and who takes such a passive attitude to her. No matter who you look at, you have no choice but to imagine the bad side here.

Moreover, it is possible to achieve more results than expected thanks to the presence of a person who can meet anywhere at any time without setting a place or time.

'To tell you the truth, I hope this conversation is heard.'

"I've gathered all the information you need as instructed."

"It's been less than a day."

"Because we have a very friendly collaborator. This…."

Sung-hoon pretended to hand something over to the Wanderer. It was an intricate move, and it was in a dark forest without light. If someone saw it with bright eyes, it would look like Sung-hoon grabbed something from Borang. Borang also pretends to look at the palm of his hand for a moment, and nods with a nasty smile.

Surprisingly, I was surprised by the act of a skilled bouncer, but I bowed my head again with a humble smile. And while the two were secretly talking, a pair of eyes stared at them from a tree quite far away.

'Demons! There's no doubt about this!'

When I first told you to keep an eye on humans, I honestly didn't trust them. However, when I saw what happened less than half a day later, I was forced to disappear.

'I'd love to hear what you're talking about, but...'

I heard that the most important thing about this is the first boundary, the second boundary. That's why I was just watching from a distance so that I could barely see the location with the elves' eyes. The elf, who looked up as much as possible and checked the shape of his mouth, could barely recognize some words.

"... Ambush, troops, spies. Shit. Should we get closer?"

The elf, who was pondering for a while, did not want to be greedy, but lowered his stance and retreated from the position.

"You've been in contact with the Demons?!"

"Yes, unless my eyes are wrong. Besides, I didn't hear the exact conversation, but it was definitely a troop or an ambush."

"Arben. Your information was accurate."

Cristina nods at Arben. I was embarrassed when I first came to tell him that there was an operation that could reverse this situation, but I decided to move on to Arben's words after listening to his explanation. It was actually quite a gambling scheme, but it wasn't a situation where the elves could afford it now.

"It's hard to be sure with three people. How about a little more surveillance?"

"That's not possible."

"……."

Cristina, the princess who brought her horse out, was a human being who had nothing to do with it. The Elf warrior shut up and started staring at Arven. Even though he has a considerable ball and is impressed lately, he may be a regular Elf warrior, but he doesn't give orders to high-ranking warriors like himself. Arben began to follow the explanation of the accident as he later noticed his mistakes.

"If you increase your watchdog and notice something strange, you'll find it hard to use him anymore."

"What do you mean it's hard to use?"

"Arben thought he'd rather use him as a station."

It was Cristina who got involved in the conversation.

"The human purpose is to convey false information and gain trust and get our information out to the Dark Elves. If you catch someone named Yooseong, you can prevent the information from leaking, but that alone will not improve the situation."

"Then what?"

"Just as he gave us false information, we also leak false information through him to the Dark Elves."

"Ah!"

Only then did the Elf understand why he was asked to let him go, and he looked at Arben with a slightly different look of respect. After receiving Cristina and Elf's gaze, Arben coughs, avoiding a slight panic.

Rather than spreading counter-intelligence using an embedded spy inside, it is an easy idea to do so even if you have only seen a few spy or investigative films in modern times. However, for the elves, Arben seemed to be a schemer who could come up with an extraordinary strategy.

"But even if you leak false information, how will you use it?"

"It's simple. If you coldly analyze the information that Yooseong gave us, you can hide the real information."

It must be true that we are going to launch a total attack once and for all. Lies are time.

'They said they will attack in four days. You can attack early, but you can't slow down time. It happens faster than 4 days.'

"It'll take me three days, however fast it takes to get the information out of Yooseong and use it."

"Are you saying you're going to ambush him a day faster than he says?"

"Most likely. It's time for the elves to take the most catastrophic hit in case of a day's battle. Of course, I'm not sure, so I need to be prepared in advance for this. You didn't reveal anything to the adventurers, did you?"

"Yes, there are very few warriors or elders who know this."

"There may be spies among adventurers. We need to focus on the Koreans who are from the same city, but we can deceive as many nationalities, so it would be much more desirable to watch out for the entire emperor. Preferably, the less people you know, the better."

"But can I ask Arben one question?"

"What is it?"

"How did you know he was a spy?"

Due to the fact that they had saved a large number of elves, the elves treated Yooseong extremely well and did not even think about it. However, Arben was convinced that Yooseong was a spy and proved that it was true for less than half a day. Cristina could not understand how Arben came to that conclusion.

Of course, I couldn't pick up Lucia for that question. No one will notice lies, and you won't be able to trust words easily. Arben, who was thinking for a moment, thought of someone and said calmly.

"I thought the opposite."

"On the contrary?"

"Yes, I was struck by how I would attack the elves if I were a ghost. And most of all, there's no way that ghosts are that lax."

I have been bored with the vices of ghosts due to recent raids and elaborate psychological warfare. Did you let those ghosts escape the captive users and elves? It is a story that can never be heard. In other words, this is a trap. Moreover, if the elves are the basis of unthinkable cities and additional lives, they can find out how to eat this food.

"I can't sleep for a while."

Given counter-attack operations, intelligence management, and the rapid progress of operations, there is not one or two things to do. However, I was motivated by the idea that I could feed a ghost. There was something I wanted to tell the ghost about winning.

'The current power alone is hard to win honestly. But if you can use the Crusaders who come from Lu Church immediately..'

"Ah! I almost forgot the most important thing!"

"What do you mean?"

"About Choi Chul Hyung. Did I do what I said?"

"Yes, I have specified a different patrol route than usual. We've added five more Epic Warriors and we're spilling surveillance on the Ileux. Is he a spy, too?"

"I don't have any solid evidence, but I can say it's almost nine."

I already have enough doubts that I am a man in a city like a ghost. In this shitty world, no one can believe it, but once on Earth, people from the same country, and now people from the same city, have to be a big factor. Of course, Arben doesn't drive him into spying with just this.

The most important reason is that he seemed so close to Yooseong and Choi Hyeol.

I haven't met a patient with amnesia in the more missionary world in a while, brother. Moreover, the behavior that Yooseong is presently showing is so crucial. I heard from Lucia that Yooseong and Choi Hyeol seem to have made some kind of promise.

'I didn't come here and wander around specifically, but only me, Lucia, and Choi Chul. And if he does that, he'll find out about the elves in half a day and get them out to the Dark Elves? Moreover, so is the existence of the Demons. Setting a meeting place at such a short notice means that there was a facilitator.'

A person who is fluent in internal affairs, can exert a lot of influence among elves and is in constant contact with Yooseong. Only one such person existed.

"I'm not sure, so don't rush me. But I want you to be very careful in case you have to."

The youngest ranker is a tough top-ranker, although he is pushed to other disputing skills. To deal with him as much as possible, you will need to be as attentive and move.

Kill or save? That's the problem...
