Chapter 406 The Villain Lady Arrives 235
"Who's there?" Alice shouted.
The footsteps stopped, and then a deep voice came from the darkness: "Humph, Alice, you are still not cautious enough."
Alice was startled when she heard this. She recognized this voice. This voice had echoed in her dreams countless times, keeping her awake at night. The owner of this voice was one of the masterminds she had been looking for all along - the Shadow Assassin.
"Shadow Assassin, how dare you show up?" Alice shouted angrily. She knew that the appearance of the Shadow Assassin was definitely not a good sign.
The shadow assassin slowly walked out of the darkness, his figure like a ghost, with a sneer on his face. His eyes were as deep as the abyss, as if they could swallow up all light.
"Alice, your road to revenge doesn't seem to be smooth." The Shadow Assassin taunted.
Alice snorted coldly and did not answer. She knew that there was no point in arguing with the Shadow Assassin. She had to stay calm and look for an opportunity to defeat him.
"But you don't have to worry too much." The Shadow Assassin continued, "I didn't come here to fight you today. I just came to tell you a piece of news."
Alice frowned slightly, she didn't know what the Shadow Assassin was up to, but she knew that the news about the Shadow Assassin would definitely not be good news.
"What news?" Alice asked coldly.
"There is actually more than one person behind your scenes," said the Shadow Assassin.
Alice was shocked when she heard this. She had never thought about this question. She always thought that there was only one person behind the scenes, and as long as she found him and defeated him, she could avenge Tariq. But now the shadow assassin told her that the mastermind behind the scenes was actually an organization, which put her in a dilemma.
"What did you say?" Alice's voice was trembling. She didn't know whether the news was true or not, but she knew that if it was true, her road to revenge would become more difficult.
"Humph, I knew you wouldn't believe it." The Shadow Assassin sneered, "But I can give you some evidence."
As he spoke, the shadow assassin took out a thick notebook from his pocket and threw it to Alice. Alice took the notebook and opened it. She saw that it contained all kinds of complicated intelligence and clues, as well as some names and photos that she had never seen before.
"This is..." Alice looked at the Shadow Assassin with some confusion.
"This is our organization's internal intelligence record," said the Shadow Assassin. "It contains everything you don't know. Including the true identity of the mastermind, their organizational structure, and their plans and actions."
Alice flipped through the notes page by page, feeling increasingly depressed. She discovered that everything she knew before was just the tip of the iceberg, and the real organization behind the scenes was far more complex and massive than she had imagined.
"Why are you telling me this?" Alice looked at the Shadow Assassin, her eyes full of confusion and vigilance.
"Because I have my own goals." The Shadow Assassin said, "But I can assure you that my goals do not conflict with yours. We both want to destroy this organization."
Alice remained silent, thinking whether the Shadow Assassin's words were credible. She knew that the Shadow Assassin was a cunning and dangerous person, and his words could not be trusted. But at the same time, she also knew that if what the Shadow Assassin said was true, then she had to take action as soon as possible.
"Okay, I believe you." Alice finally said, "But you have to tell me, how can I find the real core of this organization?"
The Shadow Assassin smiled slightly, as if he was not surprised by Alice's decision. "It's very simple. You just need to follow the clues in this notebook to investigate, and you will gradually get closer to the core of the organization. But you must remember that this process is full of dangers and uncertainties. You must always be vigilant to ensure your own safety."
Alice nodded. She knew that the Shadow Assassin was telling the truth. But she also knew that she had no way out. She had to avenge Tariq, no matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead.
"Thank you." Alice said, "I will remember your words."
The Shadow Assassin said nothing more, and he turned and disappeared into the darkness. Alice looked at his departing back, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She didn't know what the Shadow Assassin's real purpose was, but she knew that she had to be careful.
Alice returned to her residence and began to carefully study the notes given to her by the Shadow Assassin. She found that the notes contained a lot of information and clues that she had never known before. These information and clues were like a complex puzzle that she needed to piece together one by one to gradually reveal the true face of the organization behind the scenes.
In the following days, Alice began to get busy. She rushed around, investigating every clue and character mentioned in the notes. She encountered all kinds of enemies and difficulties, but she overcame them one by one with her tenacious will and outstanding abilities.
However, Alice found that her bad luck did not seem to end. On the contrary, as she gradually approached the core of the organization behind the scenes, she encountered more and more difficulties and dangers. She even began to doubt whether she could really complete this difficult task.
"Can I really defeat them?" Alice asked in her heart. She looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes full of fatigue and confusion.
At this moment, she remembered Tariq's smile and words. "Alice, you must be strong." Tariq once said to her, "No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must not give up. Because you are our only hope."
Alice took a deep breath. She knew she couldn't give up. She had to avenge Tariq and fight for justice and belief. She picked herself up and continued to pursue clues of the organization behind the scenes.
Alice's footsteps seemed particularly heavy on the streets late at night, and every step seemed to be on her heart. She recalled her experiences over the past few days, and every investigation seemed to be groping in the dark, and every groping was accompanied by unknown dangers. She had imagined the true face of the organization behind the scenes countless times, but the reality was always more complicated and cruel than she imagined.
That night, she came to a seemingly ordinary cafe to meet an informant. This cafe is located on the edge of the city, a place where good and bad people mix, but it is also a distribution center for intelligence. Alice knows that only here can she find those who are hiding in the dark.
As soon as she stepped into the cafe, she felt a strange atmosphere. Everyone's eyes seemed to be inadvertently sweeping towards her, and her intuition told her that this place was not safe. She took a deep breath, tried to keep herself calm, and then walked to a seat by the window.
Not long after I sat down, a man in a tattered jacket came over. His eyes flickered, as if he was confirming Alice's identity.
