"In half an hour, gather at the property management department to receive auxiliary equipment for detecting parasites. In addition, this mission is important, and you are not allowed to go out or ask for leave during the mission."
Arianna dropped these words and turned around to leave the office. Her face was extremely ugly, and she was obviously angry with Marco and the others.
"Did we go too far with him, Marco?" Lydia covered her mouth and smiled, obviously not thinking there was anything wrong.
"The relationship between Part One and Part Two has always been like this,"
Marco curled his lips, looked at Reinhardt's body in Wei En's hand, and asked, "Did you find anything over there?" "
Well, from the Abyss Sect. People."
"The city-state magic circle was also made by their people?"
Wei En nodded, "It was he who replaced the young scholar, and I also met two extraordinary people from the Abyss Sect. One is named Poulsen or something."
"Poulson? I seem to have heard somewhere... It seems that he is a favored person of the Abyss Religion?" "
He did admit it just now."
"That should be him. , the beloved of the Abyss Sect, Poulson Heikeme." Marco and Lydia looked at each other.
Wayne asked curiously: "Is he famous?"
"No," Marco shook his head, "It's not that he is famous, but the followers of the Abyss Sect are all famous for having brain problems." "
And some time ago . In the northern city-state of Idris, there was also a disaster caused by the Abyss Cult. I heard that many people died." "I'm afraid
the city-state of Caster is in big trouble this time."
"Huh?" Liddy Ya pouted and said, "I just joined the Secret Adjustment Department and something like this happened. If I had known, I would have returned to Klande..." "It's too late for
you to go back now."
"I don't want to. I'm really in danger. Isn’t there still you?”
The corner of Marco's mouth twitched, you really think highly of me, thank you.
"Let's not talk about this for now, what should we do next? The captain is not here..." Wei En helplessly looked at the bored expressions of the two people.
"Since the department has made arrangements, let's do it. Facing lunatics like the Abyss Cult, the sooner we deal with it, the less trouble we will have." "
Okay, what about this corpse?"
Marco looked at Reinhardt on the ground, " Well, it was a miserable death... Wei En, has your strength improved again?" "
Just a little bit." Wei En smiled and made a million-dot gesture.
In fact, after this battle with Poulsen, he had a clearer understanding of his own strength.
It is enough to deal with the average captain level, and under certain circumstances, he can even fight against some minister level extraordinary beings.
The premise is that there is space and distance to use a sniper rifle...
"You can handle it as long as it is reflected in the case file. Abyss converters like this have basically no recycling value." "
Okay."
Wei En snapped his fingers. , cast the soul-devouring spell, and let the four heads directly devour Reinhardt's corpse.
[You use the Devouring Soul Spell to devour Reinhard Tania's origin, and your origin will be improved. Special reward: Origin +0.02. ]
"Wow, it's gone? What a powerful spell." Lydia blinked and said with a look of surprise.
Wayne: "..."
This is a bit too false. Obviously, these two people had seen him devouring Ognyan before in the parliament hall.
"...Lydia, he already knows." Marco covered his forehead.
"Well, I told you earlier. I also wanted to avoid exposing that I was doing it with you in the parliament hall... wu wu wu." "
There's no need to say unnecessary words!" "
..."
Before it was time to gather, Wei En briefly compiled the investigation files on those who had tampered with the city-state magic circle.
In addition to the battle with Poulsen and Reinhardt, he also wrote some speculations about the location of the Bone Crush Mother - near the Laos and Ruhr neighborhoods.
The reason is that Mateo, who came from behind, is an unknown powerful transcendent from the Abyss Sect to be precise.
After doing this, Wei En and Marco discussed it, and he submitted the case file to the war department.
There was no way, Lacey wasn't there, Yegor wasn't there either, and they didn't want to trouble Arianna, so they could only report to the higher-ups through the people in the war department.
"Huh, I hope we can deal with the Abyss Sect and them."
After the case files were sent out, Wei En calmly looked at the Custer City State outside the window and fell into deep thought.
...
...
In the administrative building of the Secret Service Department, there is a spacious conference room.
"After using the developing agent for observation, it has been determined that the people who just appeared in the Ruhr neighborhood are the favored member of the Abyss Sect, Poulson Heikeme, and an unknown transcendent." Ormod reported seriously
. Said: "Especially the one who came to the rescue from behind, he is very strong!"
"According to your observation, is it possible that the other party is at the director level?" Abbott, the director of the combat department, asked with interest.
"It's very possible."
"Oh? The newly joined investigator is quite good, and he was able to escape from them. Director, do you think you can transfer him to our combat department?"
Abbott's mind The appearance of Wei En whom I had seen in the Basil neighborhood before emerged, and I felt at that time that his strength was pretty good, at least at the captain level.
Dong Dong Dong...
"Abbott, what time has it been, and you are still thinking about this?"
Deputy Director Balaz knocked on the table dissatisfied, "Now we are discussing the elimination of the parasite as soon as possible to avoid the occurrence of something like Idris The tragic situation of the city-state."
"Didn't we all discuss it just now? Just sweep the entire city-state, just a few thousand parasites."
"Abbott..."
"Okay," Alais raised his hand and said with a slightly tired look. : "Proceed according to the plan and divide the areas of responsibility for each as soon as possible."
"Director, I am ready."
Abbott looked at the parchment in his hand and said: "The first combat department and the second investigation department are responsible for the eastern part of the city-state. , including the factory areas of the Ruhr neighborhood and the Idrisu neighborhood."
"The second combat department and the first investigation department are responsible for the western part of the city-state, including the Basil neighborhood and the Natoli neighborhood." "
Finally, according to the previous battles with the Abyss sect , The investigator reported that the location of the bone-eating mother worm is near the Laos neighborhood and the Ruhr neighborhood. I will go there and solve it..." "Wait a minute, Abbott
, is this allocation inappropriate?"
"Dole Deputy Director Husband, what suggestions do you have?"
"Since the people of the Abyss Sect are all in the Laos neighborhood,"
Dolph glanced around and said in a deep voice: "I suggest that a few of us take action to sweep them away to avoid any trouble. Necessary casualties."
As soon as these words came out, several other senior officials looked thoughtful.
"Dolph, I don't recommend doing this." Balazs thought for a while and shook his head.
"Why? I know that Minister Abbott's strength is comparable to that of a director, but the other party is the Abyss Sect, and this time it is mainly about sacrifice. If something unexpected happens..." "Listen to me, what I mean is
by It's enough for Deputy Director Nifa and I to cooperate with Abbott."
"...You and Nifa?"
Dolph was stunned for a moment. He looked at the two people sitting on Alais's left and right hands. With their strength, , indeed enough to solve all the troubles.
He hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then Moises and I will stay in the department and wait for the director's dispatch." "
Second."
"Second."
"..."
Seeing that several people had communicated the specific action plan, Alais said: "Then follow the plan and get rid of all the parasites as soon as possible to avoid a worse situation." "Later, I
will Contact Crist. Once the location of the parasite is determined, the city guards stationed in each block will assist you in the fight." "
Understood!"
Abbott and others stood up, saluted with different expressions, turned around and left the conference room to do what they were doing. Prepare.
After most people left, only Alais and his deputy, Balazs and Nifa, were the only two deputy directors left in the conference room.
"Ales, are you sure you want to go to the slums alone? It's too risky." Balazs said worriedly.
"Haha,"
the tired look on Alais's face slowly disappeared, "Originally I was still thinking about who would leave the final battle, but unexpectedly someone came to my door." "
A director-level director of the Abyss Sect, regardless of Who is he? It's enough to accompany me to death."
"You!?"
"Balaz," a veiled woman on the other side leaned on a high-backed chair and said calmly: "Since Alais The decision has been made, let him go."
"Look, Nifa is more calm."
"Now is not the time to be calm!"
Balaz stood up and said angrily: "Ales, I know you have always been I haven't gotten over what happened back then, and I'm not willing to cooperate with treatment, but..."
"That's enough!"
Zizzizi!
Following this low shout, several arcs of lightning flashed across, raging around and smashing several tables and chairs into pieces.
Under the silver light, Alais's face looked very gloomy, "Balaz, you just need to do what you are responsible for." "
You..."
"No need to say any more."
Before he could finish speaking, Alais raised his hand and the electric arc around him dissipated, "You know, sooner or later, this day will come."
At this point, his eyes gradually softened, and he stood up and patted Balazs on the shoulder. , "After I leave, cooperate with Nifa, and the Secret Adjustment Department will rely on you from now on." "
Also, remember to help me cover. I don't want anyone to interrupt the final battle."
Balaz looked at it with a wry smile. Looking at him, "Ales..."
"Stop talking, Balazs."
Nifa also stood up, wearing a tight black dress, which made her figure even more proud, "It's better to think about Ales leaving. How will the secret blender handle himself after that?"
"Hahaha, that's true,"
Alais laughed heartily, in high spirits, as if he had returned to his boyhood, "Come on, come and have a few drinks with me, I don't know what else to do. Is there any better wine in the world..." ...
When Krims Cathedral rang the third bell in the afternoon, everyone from the War Department and Investigation Department of the Secret Service Department were already outside the Property Management Department. The gathering is complete. The two deputy directors, Balazs and Nifa, stood in front of the team and looked at everyone with serious expressions. "I believe everyone is aware of the seriousness of this incident. The Abyss Sect is trying to replicate the disaster of Idris City State and destroy the Custer City State..." Wei En stood in the crowd, followed by Tina, Marco and others. Listening quietly to Balaz's speech on the stage. Judging from the current response measures of the Secret Adjustment Department, at least it is impossible for the Abyss Sect to create a third-level disaster through a sacrificial ceremony. Not to mention the parasites they clean up, the strength and determination of the Secret Adjustment Department can be seen just by the two deputy directors taking action against Mateo. This made him sigh in relief. Sure enough, no one in this world is a fool, especially those who have committed similar evil acts like the Abyss Sect. Each city-state has corresponding countermeasures.
But Wei En also knows very well that this time it is not just the Abyss Sect, but also the Desire Sect hidden in the dark and some people in the City that Never Sleeps... But as long as the Abyss Sect and
those parasites are dealt with, no matter what the purpose of those people is, it will not matter. It's important.
The third level disaster is gone, can they create another one?
"...The above are the specific arrangements for this operation. Let's start with Somle."
Immediately afterwards, the Property Management Department led several other personnel in Somle to distribute equipment that can detect parasites to everyone.
Wei En hasn't seen Somle for a long time since he last received the second-level mission reward.
Looking at him now, he looked quite serious and serious.
"Baba, there is something weird about him."
"Huh?" Wayne glanced at the speaking ghost and asked through the source: "What's weird?"
"Something like the person he swallowed before." "Swallow?"
"Swallow?
" The one with the delicious bones, that horse..."
The driver rolled his eyes, "That's the Undead Knight."
Like Ogonyan?
Wei En frowned slightly and carefully observed Somle's appearance. There was nothing special about him, right?
Could it be that he is also a wizard from the Ghost School?
Or maybe, with the same identity as Ognyan, he is a shadow person under the Ghost Liaison Department?
Well, it seems that we need to pay attention to it later.
After everyone had received the equipment, Deputy Director Balazs nodded to Abbott and said, "It's time to start. Let's take action." "
Everyone, let's go!"
Everyone present began to walk outside the Secret Adjustment Department. According to the goals of their respective teams, go to different neighborhoods to perform tasks of clearing parasites.
"Abbott, for the time being, you can lead the team to clean up the Idrisu neighborhood. Nifa and I will go to the Laos neighborhood to investigate in advance. After we find out, we will take action." "
Huh?"
Abbott was stunned. After a moment, "Don't you need me to come with you?"
"With Nifa here, it's enough." Balazs shook his head, a trace of sadness flashed across his face, "After the Idrisu neighborhood is dealt with, you can come over again. Not too late..."
"Then I will take people to clean up the factory area in Idrisu Street first..." Abbott thought for a while and nodded.
At this time, Nifa suddenly said: "Let's go to the residential area too. You guys should start from Basil Block first. With your strength, the progress will be much faster." "...Okay." Everyone
else
said After leaving, Balazs sighed, "Nifa, why did you agree to Alais's plan?" "
The gunfire sounded, the death knell has arrived,"
Nifa's bright eyes looked under the veil. Krims Cathedral not far away, "This is a fate that none of us can escape."
"You..."
Dang, Dang Dang.
The four o'clock bell rang at the right time, reminding everyone in the city of Custer that midnight was approaching.
"Let's go, it's time for us to cooperate."
Hearing the sound of the bell, Balaz pursed his lips, and the groove on his face became a little deeper.
Alais walked well...
At
the same time, in a dark room, six candlesticks were placed on the long conference table. Dozens of candles were swaying, reflecting the shadows of the people at the table. .
"Lan'er, the Secret Adjustment Department has already started taking action!" "
As planned, the Abyss Sect's sacrifice ceremony is enough to involve the Secret Adjustment Department and the others. I wonder if Alais will take action..." "
He Yes!" Laner said with great certainty.
"Oh?"
"With his character, even if he knows that this is a trap prepared for him, he will still step into it!" "In
that case, our plan will be short of the last step!" "
Well, wait for the Black Pearl When the people arrive, let's start!"
"Hahaha... I really look forward to such a moment."
"It's a pity that Alais persisted for so long, and I'm afraid he won't be able to see such a great moment. I really hope he can be there to watch. Ah..."
"Forget it, you haven't suffered enough from him over the years?" "
I'm just talking."
"Okay, let's go prepare ourselves and prepare for the new era of Custer City State!"
Lan A smile appeared on Er Junlang's face, he raised the wine glass in front of him and stood up, saying, "Everyone, praise Rongguang!"
"Rongguang!"
... "Wei En, these are the lanterns and candles we need to prepare for the night. Please put them away. " Marco took out the night work equipment he received from the property management department. "You must remember that even if you are protected by the light of a lantern, you cannot stay under the red moon for more than two hours." "Yes, I made a note of it . " Wayne took the lantern and candle and put them into the space ring, "Are we sure we want to spread out?" He looked at the personnel of the combat unit in front who had been divided into two groups, and was a little worried that there would be accidents during the night investigation. "Don't worry, the people in the war department are crazy, and they are not weak at all." Marco looked relaxed, took Lidya's hand and shook it, "Besides, she is stronger." "Oh . ?" Wayne looked at Lydia, remembering that he heard before that this noble lady of the Ernst family was not a transcendent? "Even if you're not extraordinary, you can still deal with extraordinary people." Lydia blinked at him and said mysteriously: "Sometimes it's even stronger."
"Awesome."
Puff.
Marco couldn't help but laugh. When he saw Lidia's smile froze, he waved his hands quickly and said, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to." "
You are such a bastard..."
Um, what's going on?
Wei En looked at them suspiciously, not understanding what riddle they were trying to solve.
"Actually, I envy you. After all, not everyone goes out without being followed by two captain-level transcendent guards..." "
You still say?! I will bite you to death!" Lydia became angry and chased Marco and wanted to bite him. .
Wayne: "..."
It turns out that this is how ordinary people can deal with extraordinary beings. I learned... "
Brother Marco, there should be parasites in the Natoli neighborhood. You... be careful." "
Alright. , No problem, and the captain and Minister Yegor are not far away from there. If there is any danger, I will go there and ask for help." "Yes." Not long after,
Wei
En took Tina and Marco They spread out, each followed by a team of four warhead personnel.
"Are you clear about the mission objectives? Investigate and eliminate all bone-eating insects and their parasites in Basil Block." The
person in charge of Basil Block in the Combat Department unfortunately happened to be the Lacey family member. Santiago Montoya almost had a conflict with Wayne before.
"Introduce each other to avoid any problems with cooperation."
Knowing that he and Tina were being asked, Wayne Loft said honestly: "Wayne Loft is good at using muskets and is a wizard apprentice." Before,
he and that person The scene of the assassin's battle has long been seen by the people in the war department, and there is no need to hide it.
The white-haired girl tilted her head, as if she was thinking, "Tina, fist."
"Kaitan and I are responsible for Kutra Avenue in the south. Hector, you and Chirrut are responsible for the north."
As Wei En thought, after they finished their introduction, Santiago directly arranged: "As for Wei En... you two take the main road, there are more people there, and most of them come from the sea, the parasites The number won't be too many."
"Understood."
Looking at his serious look, Wei En couldn't help but feel a much better impression of him.
This is a person who can understand the situation clearly and is not as brainless as he appeared before.
At the same time, he also secretly increased his vigilance.
Even these extraordinary beings who often deal with all kinds of aberrations are so cautious. I am afraid that this mission will not be as simple as he thinks.
"Kaitan, let's get started."
"Okay."
Kaitan took out the detection equipment just issued by the property management department, a palm-sized black box with an antenna-like device on it.
After he activated the detection equipment, Wei En's mental perception could feel the runic power emanating from the box.
Um?
Only less than a hundred meters away?
"You guys start it too. I'll call out when I'm in danger later, and the others will immediately come to my aid."
"Understood."
Immediately after, the six of them separated and carefully investigated possible possibilities along the three main roads in the Basil neighborhood. Where parasites exist.
Wayne took Tina into the Basil neighborhood again and thought to himself: There are not many parasites here, but there are those Vazquez people.
I hope they got what they wanted and left...
Perhaps because it was approaching night, there were not many people coming and going on this once bustling main road, and even the sailors rarely saw it.
[You are under a mental perception scan by Robson Sverak. Reward: Survival point +1. 】
【……】
[You are scanned by Michele Este’s mental perception. Reward: Survival point +1. 】
However, just because there is no one on the street does not mean that there are really fewer people...
Wayne looked at more than a dozen prompt messages on the panel, and he was still thinking about going to Basil Street to get some survival points.
Now it seems that the previous idea was correct.
He had just walked less than ten meters and already gained more than a dozen survival points, which was really enough to give him face.
Thinking like this, Wei En pulled Tina and strode towards the port. His mental perception covered the surrounding three kilometers, and no abnormality was found.
Compared with the panel, the detection equipment issued by the Secret Adjustment Division is completely unattractive.
If there were parasites within his range of perception, the panel would have given him a warning.
The area of the Basil neighborhood is not large, but there are cliffs facing the sea in the north and south directions, and all the way to Custer Port in the west.
Therefore, the Basil neighborhood is longer than other neighborhoods in the east-west direction.
Three major thoroughfares continue to the west and eventually converge. At the same time, there are alleys on both sides of the middle avenue that lead to other streets.
This is why Santiago has the confidence to provide quick support, and the distance from north to south is no more than two kilometers.
With the strength and speed of extraordinary beings like them, support can be in place in less than 30 seconds.
"Nothing?"
Wei En and Tina walked west for nearly half an hour and arrived near the alley where they came with Marco before.
But strangely, apart from some spiritual perceptions, he found nothing.
Not even one of the common murderous intent locks appeared before... Could it be that those hot-tempered sailors and pirates have changed their gender?
Obviously impossible!
Wei En stopped and used his spiritual sense to carefully perceive everything around him. He always felt that something was strange here.
It's so peaceful!
Not only were the passing sailors and people on the ship missing, but there were also many girls wearing cool clothes missing outside the pubs on both sides of the street.
Wei En glanced around and felt enlightened.
No wonder something felt wrong. It turned out that the girls who were standing outside and calling the guests enthusiastically were missing...
How is that possible?
He looked at a tavern not far ahead, thought for a moment, and then walked over with Tina.
[You are scanned by Claire Yuri Biondini's mental perception. Reward: Survival Points +2. ]
Claire?
"Hey, if I were you, I wouldn't walk in at this time~"
Hearing this voice, Wayne looked back at a man wearing half leather armor, "Claire?" "
..." Claire Rolling his eyes, he muttered: "I still can't hide it from you..."
"Why are you here? And what did you just say that you can't go in?" When
Wei En saw his expression, he knew that he had guessed it right and pulled it. Tina, who was moving next to her, signaled: "This person is not an enemy for the time being." "
Tina, I know."
The white-haired girl loosened her grip on the clown doll, but her eyes were still staring at Claire. .
"What do you mean temporarily? I'm not your enemy in the first place, okay?"
Claire's pure manly face changed a bit, only half of her original appearance was revealed, "Come with me, this is not for talking. Place."
Wei En looked around and followed her into a nearby alley.
"Where are you going?"
"Just follow me," Claire said angrily: "If I want to hurt you, do I need to wait until now~" "...That's
true."
Wayne touched his nose, he really didn't want to I'm used to a man showing such a charming expression...
After walking for a few minutes, Claire led him into a small house, "Come in."
After his mental perception found no abnormalities, Wei En pulled Tina in and asked impatiently: "What happened just now?" What's going on?"
Claire returned to her original appearance and figure, but she was no longer wearing the short skirt and tight clothes before, but a very simple long linen skirt, looking just like the beautiful girl next door.
"Also, if I hadn't appeared in time, you would have fallen into a trap."
Wayne looked at her doubtfully, "Is there a problem with that pub?"
"It's not just that pub, but the entire Basil neighborhood now. We all have problems." Claire said, waving for them to sit down.
"The whole neighborhood? No way?"
Wayne thought about the fact that there was no prompt from the mental perception and the panel just now. Is there really a big problem in the Basil neighborhood?
"Someone has set up a rune circle here." Claire said casually.
"Fa, magic circle?"
Wei En opened his mouth, "You mean that there were not many pedestrians on the street just now because of the effect of the magic circle?" "That's not true. There were indeed
not many people, and most of them were The control is in the houses on both sides."
Claire shook her head, "The reason you didn't notice it is because there are magic circles in each house, so you can only perceive what they want you to 'see' Something."
So that's it!
No wonder he felt like he was being spied on when he was on the road before.
But there was no prompt on the panel. It seemed that those who spied on him were just following him routinely and did not show any hostility towards him.
"There are so many taverns here, as well as those sailors and pirates on the sea, how could they be controlled all at once?"
Wei En was very puzzled. There are at least tens of thousands of people in the Basil Block, and there are also city guards stationed there. .
If there is a problem here, the top officials of the city-state should not be able to discover anything!
"Of course some more powerful guys have come."
"Who are they?"
Claire's face showed a solemn look, "I also happened to find it when I came here. If I read it correctly, they should all be black pearls. People on board."
"Black Pearl...couldn't it be the sea emperor who came to Custer?" Wei En suddenly said: "I heard that he will not come to land easily."
" How could it be him?" Claire said angrily: "If it was that person who came in person, I would have run away long ago."
Run?
Wei En looked at her with an expression that didn't seem like she was lying, but he had no idea about the strength of Sea Emperor Isabello.
Not to mention Isabello, so far he has seen several ministerial moves.
As for strength...that's it, I don't feel much stronger than him.
"Is he so terrifying?"
"More than just terrifying, how could the man who had been roaming the Cordo Sea for decades do this if he was not strong? Do you still remember the sea monster you saw a few days ago? "
Remember." Wayne was so impressed by the deep sea monster Rasim that he almost blinded him.
"That monster is the pet of Sea Emperor Isabello!"
"Huh??"
Fuck, that terrifying deep sea beast is Isabello's pet?
Now Wei En had an idea of the emperor's strength. He was definitely an extraordinary person at the inhuman level.
Even pets are in level three disasters. How strong is Isabello?
A level four disaster comparable to Tina's complete deformation?
"It's true. This is the news I just got," Claire said with an ugly expression, "And even if I want to leave now, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." Is the situation already so critical
?
Wei En thought in hindsight: In the morning, when they met Poulsen and the others, they didn't see that they were going to start the sacrificial ceremony.
He thought it would be easier after cleaning up the parasites.
"What is the situation now? Is it related to the Abyss Sect?"
"It would be easier to solve if they were just them..." Claire sighed, "Actually, I saw the Blessed One of the Abyss Sect last night and found them. Where are those parasites?"
"Have you seen him too?"
"Also?"
Wayne said honestly: "I fought with him in the Ruhr neighborhood today."
"Fighted? You?" Claire was surprised. Looking at him, "You're not dead... you shouldn't be."
"Under normal circumstances, it's really difficult to deal with."
Wei En looked at Tina next to him, and then said, "You'd better tell me, what's going on now?" What's going on?"
"Okay, I just have something to ask you for help, or help each other..."
Thanks to the boss of Endless Dimension for the reward
. There are no more chapters today, but there are still two chapters... I have too much work during the day, I don’t have time to write, so I’ll add an update tomorrow when I’m not busy.
(End of chapter)
