This NPC really has a problem

After escaping from the prayer room, the two discovered that the pursuers were not the one that was searching in the corridor.

The other team had to be more covert. If Lu Ren hadn't noticed something was wrong from their shadows on the ground, they might have been discovered not long after they left the prayer room.

Relying on the memory of Father Lu Ren in the last dungeon, Lu Ren dragged Bai Zhu through countless hidden paths in the church, barely throwing off the pursuers.

It wasn't until they left the main church behind and merged into the crowd returning home after praying that Lu Ren and Bai Zhu let down their vigilance a little.

"Who is the second wave?" Bai Zhu lowered his voice and asked, "It doesn't seem to be the same group as those outside the corridor."

"It should be the priest and knight of the main church." Lu Ren also answered him with a voice that only the two of them could hear.

The closest to the cathedral is a residential area. There are not many spacious roads in the residential area. The people returning home are next to each other, and the voices are noisy. Lu Ren and Bai Zhu will not appear abrupt when they get closer to each other.

They didn't see the people who were looking for them head-on, otherwise they wouldn't be able to escape from the cathedral at this time. Lu Ren speculated that there were priests and knights in the team based on the outline of the shadow on the ground and the slight sound of armor colliding.

Unlike the people who searched for them in the corridor with great fanfare, wishing to let people know that they were searching for people from a hundred meters away, the people in the Holy See were very low-key. If Lu Ren was not vigilant enough to find that their walking rhythm was wrong, they would be seen by outsiders. I'm afraid it's just an ordinary church walk.

"Those people may have been appointed by Bishop Lanna." Lu Ren speculated, "The people in the corridor should come from the City Lord's Mansion."

Bishop Lanna is calm and rational. If he is asked to find someone, he will definitely not do anything to scare the snake.

And judging from the look and tone of the team leader who talked with Xu Yan on the first night in this dungeon, the people of the city guard have a rather carefree style of doing things.

"I can't go back at night, and there is no hotel here." Bai Zhu hooked Lu Ren's shoulder, and whispered face to face like a pair of ordinary good brothers, "You don't want to sleep on the street, do you?"

Lu Ren said: "There are patrols at night, you can't run away with me."

It was then that Bai Zhu remembered that Lu Ren would turn into a corpse at night, and he didn't know why the patrol team could still move at night.

"Maybe someone will come looking for us in a while," Lu Ren said suddenly, "In this situation, we are in danger."

Bai Zhu immediately understood that the person Lu Ren was talking about was a young girl.

The girl told him that he could go to her when he was in danger, so Bai Zhu naturally didn't know where to meet the girl.

But he believed that by this time, the girl would find her by herself.

……

Lu Ren and Bai Zhu finally decided to go back to the slums and wait for the girl to find her.

They didn't walk the way they came here. Instead, they took a long circle and walked through a small half of the City of Reflections before returning to the slums. When they walked to their temporary home, they also took as far as possible out of the way.

Lu Ren and Bai Zhu finally stopped two lanes away from their destination.

At this position, people dressed as city guards can already be seen. They hold torches, and their positions seem to be irregular. In fact, they surround a very ordinary low-rise building in a slum.Someone in a nearby building opened the window and looked out curiously, and then hurriedly closed the window because of the city guard's sweeping glance.

Lu Ren and Bai Zhu were standing under that window, and a half-collapsed low wall sheltered them well.When Lu Ren heard the man close the window completely, he muttered, "Anyone else hide the key?"

It's not surprising that he would ask such a question, after all, every time the city guard came to catch the person who hid the key, it was like this.

And because the slums are mixed with fish and dragons, this is the only place in the City of Reflections where fish that slip through the net will appear.

The city guard didn't pay much attention after seeing that the person sticking out the window was not the person they were looking for.

Before the operation, they learned the information of the people they were searching for. One of the two targets was an aborigine of the City of Reflections and the other was an outsider. They didn't know how they met.They don't know much about the outsiders, but the information of the city dweller is easy to get. The city dweller has a withdrawn personality and is an orphan. He has no friends except the young man who lives upstairs. The nearby residents have checked several times, and they are not Worried that someone will take them in.

The City of Reflections has a rule that anyone who sees anyone coming from outside the city must report to the City Guard, and then the City Lord's Mansion will arrange accommodation for them. It is undoubtedly a violation of the law to take in outsiders without permission.Thinking of this, the city guard couldn't help feeling disgusted with that city resident he had never met before. Breaking the law is undoubtedly doing evil. No kind city resident would do such a thing. He must have hidden the key. He is an evil god. running dog.

The only ones who would take him in were the believers of the Evil God, but it was not easy to find a believer of the Evil God in the slums. Even if the City Lord's Mansion and the Holy See worked together to census the population here several times, there would still be omissions.

Unlike the upright citizens of the city, the city guards will never understand where the followers of the evil god are hiding during the census.

The city guards did not leave, and Lu Ren and Bai Zhu had nowhere to go, so they hid behind the low wall in a daze.

They were not very worried that the city guard would find out that there were people hiding behind the low wall.The low wall was built by nearby residents. There are two sides in total, and it looks like it has a history of decades.The resident used two walls to circle a small vegetable garden for himself in the alley, but this blocked the normal passage of others.I don't know how the resident discussed with others. He finally pushed down the wall a little, leaving a small path for only one person to pass through. A semi-open vegetable garden without knowing there's a trail.

Of course the city guards would not break into the vegetable gardens of the city residents.

Suddenly, half of Lu Ren's face appeared behind the low wall they were facing.

The sly eyes blinked, and disappeared behind the low wall in an instant.

Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, then followed Bai Zhu carefully.

The girl stayed behind the low wall and did not leave.

Seeing Lu Ren and Bai Zhu, she raised her index finger to her lips, signaling them not to speak.

The girl turned and left, her steps were light, she tapped the ground without making any sound.Lu Ren and Bai Zhu followed her closely without meeting anyone along the way, and finally stopped in front of an ordinary small courtyard.

The yard is really too small, if it wasn't for the potted flowers planted in it, Bai Zhu wouldn't even want to admit that it was a yard.

But with such a yard, it can be considered a rich family in a slum.

"This is my home." The girl introduced them briskly.

The courtyard door was not locked, and it opened with a slight push.When the girl stepped into the yard, she said to them: "There are not many rooms. People lived in them yesterday and today. It's wrong for you to sleep in the utility room."

Lu Ren asked, "Who else?"

The girl opened the door, and the answer appeared in front of Lu Ren at once.

There is only one table and three chairs in the simple living room, and the four dishes and one soup on the table can hardly be regarded as rich.

But among the two sitting at the table, none of them was paying attention to the table.

One of them looked over immediately after hearing the door opening, and smiled awkwardly after seeing the faces of Lu Ren and Bai Zhu.

The other person's eyes fell on them slowly, with a half smile on his face.

Both Lu Ren and Bai Zhu knew each other.

It was Xu Yan who looked a little embarrassed.

In their eyes, the one who was almost labeled as "crazy" was...Father Lu Ren.
