Absolute Death Game-Chapter 442 - 44 Ancestral Dragon Mirage (Transitional Chapter)_3
Eagle Eye quickly thought that Deputy Qiu was not the real Deputy Qiu, could it be someone in the game had acquired a skill to change faces to tease him? He quickly dismissed this notion since Deputy Qiu had actually transferred him money; he was afraid of being exposed. This meant the situation was not just a simple prank, Deputy Qiu was very likely a spy planted by someone else, and it seemed that the fate of the real Deputy Qiu was grim.
As a military man, upon discovering such a situation, Eagle Eye reported it immediately. After passing through the ranks, Eagle Eye was eventually brought before the base’s second-in-command, Dugu Han. Dugu Han was a recent addition to Ancestral Dragon, supposedly representing a civilian organization and collaborating with Ancestral Dragon. After his entry into Ancestral Dragon, he quickly gained Huo Guangxiong’s trust, and his rank was promoted again and again, now holding the position of a major general.
"I hear you’ve uncovered a spy among us?" Dugu Han’s body lazily rested in the wide-backed sofa, his slender fingers ceaselessly caressing a white porcelain cup in front of him, his eyes squinted, giving off an impenetrable gaze that roamed back and forth over Eagle Eye.
Being face-to-face with an officer of such rank for the first time, Eagle Eye was somewhat nervous, further compounded by Dugu Han’s demeanor that was starkly different from that of a military man. Eagle Eye felt sweat seeping from his palms; this was even more nerve-wracking than an assassination.
"Not discovered, just suspected, sir," Eagle Eye had not further confirmed Deputy Qiu’s identity, firstly for fear of alerting the enemy prematurely, and secondly because he had more faith in the organization.
"Well, well, well, I hear you are a good assassin, but I didn’t expect you could also serve as a good espionage operative," after saying these words, Dugu Han leaned forward, his thin eyes staring straight into Eagle Eye’s eyes, as if trying to see right through him.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir, I hope you can thoroughly investigate this," Eagle Eye didn’t dare to relax for a moment, his voice clear and loud, maintaining the posture befitting a soldier.
"Alright, but before that, I should reward you. How about a Cross Medal?" The Cross Medal was a military decoration established within Ancestral Dragon, only awarded for at least second-class merit. This reward was certainly unexpected to Eagle Eye.
"Thank you, sir!" Eagle Eye responded loudly.
"Hehehe, not only that, but I also want to give you a little gift. I hope you can wait in your room, and I will have them send it over to you shortly," Dugu Han sank back into the chair, his voice ethereally floating.
"Yes, sir," Eagle Eye answered loudly, saluted, finished the salute, turned around, and marched out of the room. It was only after he was out the door that his heart finally settled.
Eagle Eye’s room in the base was like that of any other soldier of his rank, a small single room of about ten square meters, with a single bed covered in army green sheets and duvet, a small desk, and a bookshelf built on the wall. At this moment, Eagle Eye sat stiffly in his chair, thinking it more proper to sit formally as someone was coming to present him with an award.
Half an hour had passed, and Eagle Eye was beginning to feel restless. In the past, when he received awards, he would go to the relevant department and directly complete the formalities. This time, however, it seemed rather strange. Almost instinctively, unease crept into Eagle Eye’s mind.
"Do you really trust them?" Suddenly, the room echoed with the voice of a man full of magnetism.
Eagle Eye’s figure flashed to the side of the door, watching warily behind him, "Who’s there?"
A figure slowly emerged from the space between the bed and bookshelf, showing a level of Shadow Technique far surpassing Eagle Eye’s.
"It’s you?" As the figure fully emerged, Eagle Eye said in surprise; he was familiar with this man in black. He often saw him when Qin Shimoon was around, but back then, Eagle Eye wasn’t of high enough rank to speak to him. "Are you here to kill me?"
Seeing the man, Eagle Eye’s first thought was that Qin Shimoon had sent him to kill Eagle Eye, for the obvious reason of Eagle Eye having shot Qin Shimoon.
"Hehe, I’m not here to kill you, the person outside the door is here to kill you," the man in black said leisurely, suddenly vanishing on the spot. Eagle Eye moved forward to check what was happening, when suddenly, a knock sounded at the door behind him.
Eagle Eye turned sharply, "The person outside is here to kill you." He didn’t know why, but the man in black’s words from before suddenly echoed in his mind.
The knocking at the door became more and more urgent, clearly indicating that the visitor was not in the best of tempers. This was not the attitude one would expect from someone coming to present an award. Eagle Eye started to hesitate, but as an assassin, he was always prepared for a full retreat.
Without further hesitation, Eagle Eye quickly flipped open the bed, took out a violin case containing his beloved sniper rifle, pulled out two bank cards from a book on the bookshelf, and drew a file bag he had received from the general from beneath a pile of books. If the person outside was indeed there to kill him, he felt it might be deeply related to this file bag.
"Do you think you can really escape with that big thing?" It was clear that the shadow had not left the room, and the magnetic voice suddenly sounded behind him again.
"FUCK," Eagle Eye growled lowly, suddenly doubting the words of the shadow. If the person outside was just there to present him with an award, then wouldn’t he be branded a traitor for nothing?
