Chapter 645: Inner Traitor Revealed

The occupant of the second room wanted to teach the mole a technique.

Zhao Xiaowan wanted to hear the key points of the technique, but there was no movement from inside the second room. The key points didn't need to be spoken; the mole could understand them. He and the occupant of the second room shared a natural understanding.

Who else had made a move, powerful enough to suppress even the phonograph's flame? The shadow left the Portable Abode; he just escaped!

Only one person in the Portable Abode could twice render the phonograph's
