Rode naturally did not refuse. It was so satisfying to kill a high judge, so why not kill more high judges? How about killing the Chief Justice?
Moreover, the king promised that cleaning up the Doomsday Cultists could also clear their guilt. It was a win-win situation, so why not do it?
"After the introduction by Aig, Rode learned that Aig had gained even higher control over his abilities. His white smoke could to some extent replace his senses. By extending a tiny strand, he could catch a glimpse of the surrounding scenery and hear nearby sounds.
After they were released, they suddenly discovered Manolobana's whereabouts. So, Aig sent out a strand of white smoke and heard a piece of news -
Manolobana was going to have a secret conversation with an important person.
The location was his mansion, and the time was today.
So, they decided to go on an adventure tonight and obtain evidence, directly eliminating these pests from the human ranks.
Annabel also strongly agreed with their actions. She would use a special method to prove that they had returned to the secret branch base and were undergoing closed special training.
As long as they were not caught on the spot with the stolen goods, it would be fine.
Of course, the fewer people involved in this kind of thing, the better. So, Aig decided to only invite Rode and Raisin. Rode had various abilities and versatile methods, while Raisin would provide frontal cover, and he would be responsible for scouting and exploring.
Manolobana's mansion was in the eastern part of the upper city. To avoid being discovered, Aig decided to enter the upper city from the lower city through the sewer system and then attempt to infiltrate the mansion, seizing the opportunity to use the crystal of photography to record the images and sounds of their secret conversation.
This was Aig's entire plan, which sounded quite crude.
In fact, it was also quite crude.
But sometimes, crude things were surprisingly effective. The more complex the plan, the more variables there were, and the more potential points of failure.
And Rode had an ace up his sleeve that could greatly increase their chances of success.
That was the Mist Pendant.

This spiritual item gifted by Miss Green Feather had already been returned to him by the Court of Judgment. Green Feather admitted that she had given it to him, and after Rode's guilt was determined, the Chief Justice returned all the items to him.
This pendant had a powerful effect. Back in the Court of Judgment, Rode wore the pendant and walked directly to Greygrove's side. So many people didn't notice, and he killed Greygrove in one move.
Was the security of a mere high-level official's mansion more stringent than the main hall of the Court of Judgment?
Heh heh.
It seemed that they could make a big move this time.
Full of confidence, Rode set off with Aig and Raisin.
They first discreetly left the academy, then entered the sewer system from the innermost part of the inner city.
There was a difference of several hundred yards in elevation between the sewer systems of the upper and lower cities, and they were very complex with many twists and turns.
But under Rode's guidance, they successfully reached the upper city from the lower city without encountering any danger.
Aig couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly the King of Sewers."
Rode dissatisfiedly said, "Don't talk nonsense. It's because Professor Bince gave me a sewer map. I have studied all the upper-level sewer terrains."
Raisin laughed, "Who else would study this kind of thing if not the King of Sewers?"
"You better go and carry out the mission!"
"Alright, alright."
Raisin changed into his disguise and climbed out of the sewer after Aig confirmed that there was no one nearby.
He would go to Manolobana's mansion as a black market merchant and trade with the people there, selling a large quantity of spiritual materials at an irresistible price, and requesting them to send out a large number of personnel and guards to retrieve them from outside the city.
If he failed, he would disrupt their attention in another way and cover their actions.
Afterwards, Rode and Aig arrived at the sewer below the mansion. Aig transformed into white smoke and probed upwards from various holes in the main passage.
Rode heard the constant muttering from the central white mist.
"Ugh! So disgusting!"
"Who the hell ate butter fruit and got diarrhea?"
"This guy has hemorrhoids, ugh..."
"Mm, this is the deputy hall, outside is the courtyard."
"This is the bedroom, ugh, two fat guys..."
"This is the bathroom, hey, this little girl is not bad."
Suddenly, Rode felt that he should report Aig's ability to the academy. Although there were many people with the white smoke attribute, according to Aig, he was the only one who had discovered the sensory effect.
After a moment, he suddenly heard Aig say, "There is a spiritual energy seal here. It should be here."
Then, Rode saw a thin strand of white smoke from the already very thin white mist in front of him, and a voice came from within.
"Rode, this strand of white smoke will follow you and guide you to a safe route. I will remind you if there is a major danger. But please note that the smoke that leaves my body cannot speak. You should pay attention to the twisting of the white mist in front of you. If it is very intense, be careful."
"Okay."
The white smoke disappeared into thin air.
Rode put on the Mist Pendant, infused it with spiritual energy, and a faint light enveloped him. Following the white smoke, he arrived on the ground.
This was the side alley of Manolobana's mansion, quiet with no one around. The almost invisible white smoke crossed over the high wall and shook in front of Rode, indicating safety.
Rode's spiritual energy surged, he exerted force under his feet, and his figure soared into the air, landing on the high wall.
Looking around, the mansion was large, composed of multiple buildings, decorated in an ancient style, mostly made of green stone materials. The security was not very strict, and there were few guards patrolling, with some of them being ordinary people.
The white smoke in front of his eyes was shaking frantically, indicating their impatience.But Rode didn't mind. The effect of the Mist Pendant was indeed powerful. Even when he stood on top of a high wall in a bright environment, no one noticed him.
It seemed to be able to divert others' attention, Rode thought, and jumped off the high wall.
White smoke flew in front of his eyes, continuing to guide the way.
It seemed to understand the power of the Mist Pendant and became less cautious, flying even faster.
The journey went smoothly, and Rode quickly arrived outside the room where Aig discovered something abnormal.
The white smoke flickered, indicating that it couldn't go any further. It was up to Rode now.
Rode nodded and activated the Eye of the Soul. It had a certain perspective function and could see the people behind the wall in the absence of too many physical obstacles.
The room was divided into a main hall and a side hall. Rode carefully walked into the side hall and quickly saw the familiar soul - Iron Mask Manolobana.
He seemed to be waiting for someone.
Rode couldn't be sure how effective the Mist Pendant could be. When he was in the court, most people's attention was already attracted by Greygrove's impassioned speech. If he appeared directly in an empty room where the focus of attention was on him, the Mist Pendant might not work.
Rode looked around and quickly found a long French window on one side of the main hall. The window was frosted and unclear, but the bottom of the window was hollowed out, with just enough space to fit in a Crystal of Reflection.
Rode immediately ran over, carefully hiding by the window, and gently squeezed the crystal to look inside.
After a moment, Rode saw layers of spiritual fluctuations appearing in the middle of the hall, and a person walked out from the fireplace on the wall.
Rode found that this person was actually Jon, the candidate for the King.
His hoarse voice came from the room.
"Gura, you are under surveillance. Why did you meet me at such a sensitive time?"
"Lord Jon, I feel that the situation is not good. Greygrove's punishment has dealt us a great blow. That kid's punishment was neither light nor heavy, proving that the wind in the central city has changed."
"I know." Jon's voice was impatient. "There's no need to say these things here. You can write them in a letter."
"Lord Jon." Manolobana's speech speed increased. "I think we should launch a deadly attack on Green Feather and Star Song as soon as possible. Amori and Krama also share this opinion..."
Jon impatiently interrupted him, "I've said it before. What we need to do now is to resist the Black Tide with all our strength and protect as many people as possible... That's it. Don't contact me unless it's an emergency."
With a powerful spiritual fluctuation, Jon left the room.
Rode immediately put away the Crystal of Reflection and quickly ran out of the side hall.
With a sweep of his gaze, he saw a large increase in the number of people in the mansion. It should be the end of Raisin's cover.
The white smoke flew over and guided him to a new escape route.
Rode followed the white smoke and ran wildly. He was about to leave the main residence when suddenly, his heart jumped, and a long-lost sense of heart season appeared in his heart. Some unknown existence was attracting him.
It was a fragment of a dream!
Rode immediately realized and looked down.
It was in the treasury below.
What should he do?
Raisin's cover had already ended, and with so many people around, even with the Mist Pendant, it became very dangerous. He had also left traces. If he was discovered, it would be dangerous.
Now was the best time to escape.
But if he missed this opportunity, it would be almost impossible to return to the old place if the Manolobana family became vigilant.
Without much hesitation, Rode gritted his teeth and turned to run down the side stairs.
The white smoke immediately jumped up and rushed over, trying to stop Rode, but when it reached the stairs, it was blocked by an invisible barrier.
It anxiously swung behind, but Rode had already disappeared.
The stairs were deep, and Rode finally reached the bottom with great difficulty.
Sure enough.
A huge steel door stood in front of him, covered with spiritual patterns, and powerful spiritual energy flowed in the patterns, isolating all prying eyes.
There was no one here. Manolobana seemed very confident in his steel door.
Heh.
Rode sneered. How naive.
From the perspective of the Eye of the Soul, he could clearly see the trajectory of every strand of spiritual energy. The distribution of spiritual energy inside was like a three-dimensional projection map displayed in front of him.
Rode quickly found the center of the spiritual energy - a inconspicuous round ball, located on one side of the steel door, like an ordinary decoration. There were many similar decorations around it.
But their spiritual energy was all one-way and shining with danger. If touched rashly, it might trigger an alarm.
Rode touched the ball, but there was no response. He tried to infuse spiritual energy, but a barrier appeared on the ball, preventing his spiritual energy from entering.
The pressure of the ball was high, and Rode tried several times without success.
He tried to destroy the ball, but it was particularly strong, at least not something Rode could move.
What should he do?
Should he use the Quintet of Spiritual Energy?
But with such a big movement, the other party would definitely notice.
If the Mist Pendant could still be effective in this situation, Greygrove would not have discovered that Rode killed him.
And what if it couldn't be blasted open?
Before mastering more advanced techniques, Rode temporarily lost confidence in Justice Execution.
What should he do?
Rode glanced up and saw many figures passing by overhead. Some shouts came down:
"There's a malicious spiritual energy intruder!"
"Find him! Hurry!"
Aig had been discovered.Although no one had come down yet, it was clear that this place was not safe, and he needed to leave as soon as possible.
Rode stared at the sphere, deep in thought. Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across his mind!
