Chapter 495: Special Agent

One minute later, with Delfinia's help, Li Mochen and the others arrived at the Bone-Eating Plateau. Several people were already waiting for him there.

One was his subordinate, the legendary shield warrior from the former Soviet Union, Viktor Maxim; the other was a middle-aged man in a suit and sunglasses, with a cold expression.

The moment Delfinia saw this man, her face changed slightly, and she assumed a defensive posture.

She knew who had agreed to help Li Mochen: Wallace Carroll, the Senior Executive Deputy Director of the FBI, the legendary director of the Third Special Affairs Division, a Level 9 agent and a high-ranking demigod within the FBI.

Delfinia couldn't help but look around, thinking that since this man was here, his team must be nearby.

Wallace Carroll, however, acted as if she didn't exist. He probably understood that they couldn't capture the Void Night Lord, so he simply pretended Delfinia wasn't there.

His voice was as cold as his demeanor, like a firearm: "Fifteen minutes ago, the dracolich Delarosa and its sanctus Oda Kento left the Bone-Eating Plateau. They likely sensed something or received advance information. I heard that in the past hour, you sought help from at least seven demigods?"

"Twelve!"

Li Mochen corrected the demigod agent's intelligence: "I can roughly guess that the dracolich Delarosa would leave, but that has no effect on our operation."

As he spoke, he began using the 'Zhou Tian Divine Mechanism Xuan Shu Lock Star Secret Art' to calculate Delarosa's location in his mind.

Li Mochen's soul strength had now nearly recovered to its former state. In terms of quantity alone, due to the fusion with the original Li Mochen's soul, it was not inferior to Wenjian Taoran's.

Even so, he couldn't calculate the whereabouts of a demigod. But fortunately, he had the 'Divine Xiao Spiritual Fortune Purple Gold Pagoda.' When three thousand strands of merit energy on the pagoda directly melted away seven hundred strands, Li Mochen first pretended to cast a spell called 'Perception Block' on himself, then made a fake magical satellite phone call in front of the others. After about ten seconds, he turned to Delfinia and instructed: "Nine o'clock direction, about 3,500 kilometers from here, on the east bank of Lake Dru. Be quick."

Lake Dru was a very famous large lake in the dark world, twice the size of the American Great Lakes. But this was only one of eight possible locations Li Mochen had calculated using the 'Zhou Tian Divine Mechanism Xuan Shu Lock Star Secret Art.'

The wish spell gave no warning, and Li Mochen's choice was just following his heart, but based on his past experience, the probability of error was less than 0.2%.

The 'Divine Xiao Spiritual Fortune Purple Gold Pagoda' was very miraculous. As long as Li Mochen made the corresponding wish, the entire world around him would develop in the direction he hoped to see.

However, the people present all showed undisguised surprise and doubt.

Delfinia was also half-convinced, but then she narrowed her eyes and directly asked Agent Carroll: "How many of you are there? Please get closer, OK? For a 3,500-kilometer teleport, we need to be within 30 meters."

She thought she was just getting paid for the job, and success or failure had nothing to do with her.

Wallace Carroll, however, had to be cautious. He stared at Li Mochen: "If the news leaked in advance, the intelligence you received might be a trap."

“It doesn’t matter.”

Li Mochen pointed to Delphinia beside him: “We’ll try to finish this within an hour.”

Carroll’s eyes flickered, then he nodded. He was convinced by Li Mochen—with the Nightlord present, any trap would be hard to spring. Either the ambushing demigods would be banished from this world by her, or they would drag the dracolich Delarosa and its holy director Oda Kenta into another space. Of course, other demigods of the Dragon Lich Cult would do as well; it didn’t have to be that pair of lich lovers. In any case, within an hour, they could besiege and kill without restraint.

As for Delphinia’s reliability, Agent Carroll had already guessed, which was why he was here today.

With a wave of his hand, five figures flashed into their vicinity. Delphinia’s pupils contracted—these were five legendary fifth-ranks: a temple knight, a caster who might be a sorcerer or a wizard, and three magic hunters.

—This configuration, as long as her void abilities were restricted, could kill her here and could also contend with a demigod. Carroll had mobilized the cream of the Third Special Affairs Administration here.

Delphinia quickly collected her thoughts: “Then let’s go, everyone!”

Her hands began to show blue-black scales, and the space around them twisted and vibrated. In an instant, the dozen people here were transported to another location.

Li Mochen looked into the distance and found that this was the shore of Lake Dru.

Though this was a dark world without sunlight or starlight, under his ‘Dragon Vision’, the surroundings were no different from daytime.

The two Gemini immediately left from here, seeking hiding places far away. Both wore masks and were covered in black robes, so no one could know their faces, let alone their gender. Li Mochen didn’t know either, though he was curious.

But this was precisely why the Gemini made Consigli’s enemies wary. Many in Atlanta knew of the Gemini’s existence, yet they could never determine their identities or locations. This allowed the two, with only legendary second-rank strength, to make many demigods led by Philip I treat them with extreme caution.

Then the three snipers also left, each finding suitable sniper positions around.

As for Wallace Carroll, he looked deeply toward the center of Lake Dru: “Your intelligence is accurate. They are underground on that island in the lake. They should have sensed our arrival.”

At that moment, the spatial rift there was changing violently. This was clearly Delphinia’s doing, sealing off the two demigods’ efforts to escape into the astral plane.

“Can you banish one of them first?”

“Impossible! The dragon lich couple has a strong psychic link. As long as one is in this world, the other can easily return to their side. I’m only a fifth-rank legendary.”

Delphinia glanced sidelong at Li Mochen: “If I had enough mana, I could try.”

So why did this guy give the ‘Arcane Crown’ to Alex Granger?

And Wallace Carroll said no more. He raised his hand, and the entire lake surface began to shake violently.
