Chapter 123 Pain, pain and happiness...
Next to the Natoli Block, in that inconspicuous small building, is the office of the Custer City State Rune Array Research Department.
Yegor and Lacey came here under the leadership of the guards.
They looked at the scene in the office with embarrassed expressions.
"Killed with one blow, no struggle, no traces left around." Yegor carefully observed Professor Lin Qiaoya who died tragically at his desk and exhaled a stream of smoke.
Lacey on the side looked angrily and cursed: "Damn it, at this time... Now that the professor is dead, what about the repair of the city-state magic circle?" "Developing
potion."
"Yes."
Lacey took out the developing potion and poured it Around Professor Lin Qiaoya, she also wanted to know which bastard killed the professor.
As the potion took effect, two figures appeared in front of them one after another in the mist raised by the developing potion.
In the image that appeared in the mist, Professor Lin Qiaoya entered the office with a face full of joy, waving his fists as he walked, not noticing anything strange behind him.
The figure behind was wrapped in a black robe, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. He was like a ghost, following the shadow of the professor quietly.
When Professor Lin Qiaoya sat down and just picked up a pen and paper to write the application documents, the man in black robe just waved his hand casually, and a black arc flashed in the mist.
The professor was seen covering his neck with his eyes wide open in fear. He turned his head in disbelief and saw black and red blood flowing out of his palms.
The man in black robe watched him die slowly, motionless, as if admiring Lin Qiaoya's final struggle.
It wasn't until Lin Qiaoya stopped moving and was sure to be dead that the black robe slowly disappeared into the shadows on the ground.
"Minister, he looks..."
"It's the Shadow Killer!" Yegor looked at the black-robed man in the mist with a calm expression. "It was originally a secret spell taught by the wizards of the Shadow School. It was later made into a magic potion, specifically used to transform extraordinary beings."
" In most cases, various extraordinary families use it to train family guards. I believe your Montoya family should have a lot of them, right?" "
No, the family prefers to cultivate extraordinary bloodlines."
Lacey shook his head with certainty, and then realized Yegor raised his eyebrows and asked, "Minister, you mean what happened here in the magic circle was done by the nobles?" "Let's first listen to what
Professor Lin Qiaoya said...Forget it, let's focus on the follow-up questions. It's about repairing the magic circle."
"...Okay." Lacey took out the spirit-calling potion again, righted Lin Qiaoya's body, and poured the potion into his mouth.
She knew Yegor's temper very well. The angrier he was, the calmer his face became. At this time, she could only do what he asked honestly.
At the same time, she understood what Yegor meant by saying this.
The shadow killer who assassinated the professor didn't expose anything, and couldn't get any information out of it. It was better to focus on the repair of the magic circle.
Not long after, the soul-summoning potion awakened Professor Lin Qiaoya's soul, and the soul's shadow floated out from the corpse. The gray body was slightly twisted, as if it would dissipate at any time.
"I, am I dead?"
"I'm sorry, you were assassinated." Lacey said with great certainty.
"Hey, I'm really dead. Why is it at this time? I also want to learn more about the core knowledge of city-state magic circles..." It can be seen that he doesn't have much feelings
about death, and he regrets that he has not learned more. Much knowledge of runes.
"Professor, time is limited, please tell us how to proceed with the repair work of the city-state array?"
Lin Qiaoya's pale face showed a touch of bitterness, "I am already dead, Captain Lacey..."
Lacey also knew that she shouldn't embarrass a dead person, but now that Custer's crisis has not been resolved, she could only say apologetically: "I can't just watch a bigger disaster happen to the city-state. Please forgive me." Lin
. Qiao Ya was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "If we follow the method discussed before, there are actually other candidates." "Is
it Nifa, the deputy director of our secret coordination department?" "
Nifa is not suitable, she is more suitable. She is good at defensive runes. If she is asked to engrave unfamiliar attack runes, the success rate is very low." "
Who is that?" Lacey knew nothing about runes and really didn't know the difference.
"There is a professor at Dawn Church School, and his attainments in runes are better than mine. If he is willing to take action, I believe he can complete the repair work of the magic circle under the guidance of the scholars from Kelland." Lin Qiaoya hesitated and said
: "But I heard that the relationship between your Secret Service and the church is very bad?"
Lacey waved his hand: "Don't worry about it. When it comes to the safety of the city-state, I believe that the Parliament and the Noble Committee will not stay out of it." "
You only need to His name tells us..."
Before she could finish her words, Yegor next to her suddenly said: "Someone is coming!"
"Who is it?"
Zhiya.
The door to the office of the Magic Circle Research Department was pushed open, and several people wearing the uniforms of the Custer City State Council members walked in.
"Deputy Speaker Harrington?"
"Well," the person who came was Deputy Speaker Harrington and his party who had just left the Secret Service Department, but Sir Stanik was not there.
"Professor Lin Qiaoya?" Harrington looked at the ghost shadow and was stunned for a moment, "You, what are you..."
"He was assassinated." Yegor replied.
"Who did this?!" Harrington said angrily: "Damn it, something happened even to the city-state's core array!" "It's still
unclear who the other party is. I can only confirm that he is a shadow reformer."
Shadow Transformer?
Harrington's face was uncertain. After a long time, he sighed softly, looked at Lin Qiaoya and said, "I'm sorry, Professor, for causing you to encounter such a thing." "The Vice Speaker came just in time. I believe you have already submitted the
application documents I submitted yesterday. I saw it." Lin Qiaoya had accepted the fact of death and said seriously: "Currently, the city-state array has encountered a big problem, and we are discussing to solve it..." "Wait!"
Harrington
interrupted him, and then looked towards Yegor and Lacey said, "Minister Yegor, our parliament is responsible for this place. Please take your people from the secret coordination department and leave first." "Huh?
Mr. Deputy Speaker, what do you mean by this?" Lacey narrowed her eyes and snorted coldly.
"This is the decision of the parliament!"
"You..."
"Are you sure?"
Before Lacey could continue, Yegor stepped forward and looked down at Harrington, "Are you sure that the parliament is solely responsible for the affairs of the city-state legal circle? , including subsequent repair work?"
"Of course!" Harrington said forcefully: "Please leave now, and I'm afraid you don't know about it yet, right?"
Lacey and Yegor looked at each other, "What do you know?"
"Just in the early hours of this morning, Director Alais of your company died..."
Yegor suddenly grabbed his collar, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura, as if he was ready to kill everyone here at any time.
"Do you know what you are talking about?"
Lacey was equally dissatisfied, "Deputy Speaker Harrington, you have gone too far!"
"I, I," Harrington was lifted in the air by him, his face flushed, "I , What you said is true..."
"Let go, Mr. Speaker, your director has indeed died, and just now the new director of the Secret Adjustment Department has been in place." "
Who?"
"Ni, Nifa... …”
Bang!
Hearing this name, Yegor threw him to the ground with a stern expression, turned around and walked out, "Let's go!"
Lacey quickly followed, she was somewhat convinced that something had happened in the Secret Adjustment Department.
"Damn it, these people from the Secret Adjustment Department really don't know what politeness is."
Harrington looked ugly. In just two hours, he suffered at the hands of the Secret Adjustment Department. No one else would be in a better mood. .
"Now?"
"Hurry up and take over the city-state magic circle. I will report the repairs to Lord Consul Samir." "
Yes, Deputy Speaker!"
Lacey on the other side did not forget to inform Ka in the stone tower before leaving. The four of them, Li and Alicia, took a mechanical wheeled vehicle and rushed towards the Dumitru neighborhood where the secret transfer department was located.
As for the repair of the magic circle...since the parliament wants to take over, then they can find a way on their own.
"Egor, is this not true? How could Director Alais die?"
"We'll find out when we get back!"
Carly and Alicia were stunned when they first heard the news.
Why did the Secret Adjustment Department undergo such a big change overnight?
Melbell, the guardian knight who temporarily served as their guard, followed the mechanical wheel car leisurely.
He didn't care whether Alais died, but he paid attention to the movement behind him from time to time, as if there was something hidden there.
...
...
It was until noon that Lacey returned to the office with Carly.
"Captain, you're back." Seeing her return, Marco's face regained some expression, and he asked hopefully: "Is Director Alais okay?"
Lacey looked gloomy, "...No, he has been identified. Sacrificed."
Marco then looked at Carly next to him, saw her biting her lip and nodding, and murmured: "It seems like it's true..."
"Lacey...Captain, how did Director Alais die? Are there such powerful extraordinary beings in the Abyss Sect?"
Wei En knew that Mateo was very powerful, but after thinking about it all morning, he still couldn't I don’t understand why Alais went alone.
According to the news Marco brought back, it was clear that the Secret Service Department had arranged for two deputy directors, Balazs and Nifa, to go there. How come it was Alais who got into trouble in the end?
Lacey took a deep breath, "Minister Abbott used the developing agent to check there. It was the director who exploded with power beyond his own limit and died together with the people of the Abyss Sect." "Perish together..." Isn't that
suicide
?
Wayne frowned, "I don't understand, why did Director Alais do this? Obviously..." "
This is also where we find it difficult to understand. According to yesterday's arrangement, it was clear that Director Alais did not need to take action, but in the end..." It's him."
Lacey leaned on the high-backed chair, rubbing his brow, looking very irritated.
"Have you confirmed the identities of those who died from the Abyss Sect? Yesterday, when I was investigating the student Lin Qiaoya, I encountered people from the Abyss Sect, and one of them was their favored one, Poulsen." "The favored one
? "
Lacey stopped rubbing his brows and looked at him sharply, "Are you sure?" "
Yes, he admitted it himself at the time, and the Reinhardt who I killed also confirmed this."
Wei En Of course, he was sure that he could still see the bright words "Polsen Heikeme" on the panel.
"Abbott did not say their specific identities. He only knew that two of them were wearing dark green robes and black masks on their faces." The
clothes on their bodies were consistent.
"That should be them..."
No!
Wei En's eyes narrowed, there's a problem!
If he remembered correctly, when he met the abyssal creature that Poulson contracted with at the Clown Theater last night, it said that Poulson was not dead yet?
I remember what the thorn demon said at that time: Until now, he can only lie on the bed and lick his wounds. (Chapter 119)
Director Alais rushed towards the lightning in the Laos neighborhood before he encountered the abyssal creature!
In other words, Poulsen is not dead!
"Is there any problem?" Lacey noticed his look.
"I, I'm not sure," Wei En hesitated and expressed his suspicion, "I suspect that Poulsen from the Abyss Sect is not dead." "Not dead?!" Everyone else in the office was shocked by his
words
. The words attracted people, and they also realized the importance of this discovery.
If Poulsen is not dead, it means that someone else was killed by Director Alais last night.
More importantly, there are still people from the Abyss Sect in the city of Custer, so there is no guarantee that the parasite plan will not come back.
"Why do you have such suspicion? If it was Poulsen, he should have been with the Bone Erosion Mother last night. With his strength, there is no way he could have escaped Director Alais's attack." "I
, I'm just guessing."
Wayne glanced at Tina and the demon clown in her hand. He was not sure whether Lacey knew that the clown could move freely with the help of Tina's body.
He is even less sure what kind of impact it will have on him after telling him about the demon clown.
After thinking for a moment, he reluctantly explained: "In fact, I seriously injured that Poulsen yesterday. If his recovery ability is not strong, he should be recuperating at that time." After exposing the devil clown and the
sniper Between guns, it was the lesser of the two, and Wei En finally chose to expose part of his strength.
And yesterday in the Basil neighborhood, he had already exposed the power of the sniper rifle in front of Santiago and others.
We can only hope that such a statement can get away with it...
"Severely injured? You?"
Lacey looked him up and down. According to her understanding of the Abyss Sect's favored ones, they are at least minister-level extraordinary ones. With Wei En's strength, he shouldn't be able to defeat him, right?
Well, let alone the fight, it would be nice to be able to escape.
"Actually, I made a gun, and it's pretty powerful."
Wei En knew that she didn't believe it, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Captain Lacey, you can ask the people in the war department. Yesterday I was in the Basil neighborhood. Use that gun to kill Collins and the others."
"Gun, Collins? Is it the one from the Seres family?"
"It's him."
"That's right," Lacey said without doubting that he was there. "If Poulson hadn't died, It means that Director Alais did not eliminate all the people from the Abyss Cult..."
"Is it possible that the Director is not dead?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Marco's eyes again.
"This," Lacey wanted to say, it was possible. She also hoped that Alais would be alive, but...
"There is no such possibility. At the end of the image, Director Alais's body melted away, leaving only one arm. And after passing by Director Alais The senior management confirmed that it is indeed the director's arm, and his extraordinary power still remains on it."
After hearing this, the look in Marco's eyes disappeared again, and the result was still the same.
"Then captain, why did the director go there alone? He shouldn't be..."
Lacey sighed, "I got the answer to this question from several senior officials this morning."
"Oh?"
Wei En waited for her The following, if you understand this, you should be able to know the cause of the whole thing, right?
"Ever since the incident of losing control of forbidden items more than ten years ago, Director Alais has had physical problems, and his extraordinary bloodline is always in danger of collapse." "Collapse?" "You can understand it as losing control
or
being contaminated," Lacey put it another way, "Until now, his body is no longer strong enough to support him in high-intensity battles."
"This is the reason why the Director has stayed in the Secret Adjustment Department all these years."
Is there something wrong with your health?
And it was because of the clown's out-of-control taboo thing...
Wayne looked at the clown doll and thought, "Damn, this thing is really harmful."
"Then if there was only one chance, why would he choose to take action against the Abyss Sect?" "
I just said, we don't know this!"
Lacey said irritably: "In the morning, the senior officials and ministers were asking Director Nifa and Deputy Director Balaz launched an attack. Everyone wanted to figure out the reason why the director did this, but..." "
But until now, there is no reasonable explanation. They just said prophecies and the like, saying that the director The chief chose to sacrifice himself in order to avoid a greater disaster."
"What disaster is greater than that? With the strength of our secret coordination department, what kind of disaster can we be afraid of?" "
Wait a minute, what do you mean, Director Nifa?" Lydia, who was listening quietly, asked in surprise: "Isn't that Nifa the deputy director?"
Marco also recovered from his sadness and said, "Yes, Lacey, the position of the director has been confirmed now. ?"
Lacey snorted, "In the morning, people from the Parliament and the Noble Committee came to issue new appointments. Director Nifa had no choice but to take out the appointment letter prepared by Director Alais in advance." "Those bastards, they are
really He would choose a time to come and seize power. If the senior officials had not prepared in advance, the parliament would have taken advantage of this loophole."
She was very dissatisfied with what happened in the morning, especially when she heard that the parliament appointed the son of Consul Samir as the director of the department. As soon as she got the job, she became angry.
Just like Marco, who only knows how to hang out in the city that never sleeps, what qualifications do he have to be the director of the Secret Investigation Department? "Damn it, how dare they do this?" Marco said angrily.
Lydia also knew the faces of those people, but unlike Marco, she was far away from the core of the Nascimento family. As the jewel of the Ernst family, she really couldn't criticize the noble committee.
Carly, who was next to her, had a thoughtful expression on her face. She vaguely understood the reason why the city-state's top officials did this.
Just as she now wants to gain the support of some of the clergymen of the Church of Dawn, the purpose of those people is probably to control the Secret Adjustment Division.
"Sooner or later, we have to settle the accounts with those idiots in the parliament!" Lacey slammed the table with hatred.
Wayne didn't care who was the director, whether it was Nifa or Balaz, it had little to do with him.
What he was more concerned about was the prophecy from Lacey's mouth -
"Captain, did you just prophesy?" "
The gunfire sounded, and the death knell has arrived. When death comes, it means stepping into the abyss of despair, or the dawn of eternal life.
" Xi recalled: "According to Director Nifa's prophecy, the gunfire refers to Director Alais. As the director of the Secret Adjustment Department, he is enough to use the symbol of the Secret Adjustment Department, 'gunfire', to refer to him." Wei
En Thinking about the content of this prophecy, he thought for a while and said, "The first two sentences make sense, but what about the 'death coming' in the back?" "It
means that there is still a certain crisis coming," Lacey took a deep breath. , raised his spirits and said: "So the above just informed us that we must stay vigilant during this period and respond to possible crises at any time."
Lydia asked: "Is it possible that it is still the Abyss Sect? After all, what Wei En said just now It's possible..."
"As for the news that Poulson is not dead, I will convey it to the minister and apply to continue investigating the Abyss Sect. Speaking of this, Wei En..." "
Huh?"
Wei En came back to his senses. Still thinking about that prophecy, I always felt that the interpretation of the prophet, Director Nifa, was not accurate enough.
A stiff smile appeared on Lacey's face, "The gun you just mentioned, I want to see its power." "
Ah, this is not the right time, right?"
"Come on, it's been a few days since the last fight. Now, let me see your progress during this time."
Wei En wanted to refuse, but he couldn't find a better reason, so he had to nod and agree.
Then, a few people left the office, and after Lacey finished reporting on Poulsen, they walked to the arena behind.
When Wei En saw that Lacey had reported about Poulsen, he felt relieved.
He had done what he could, and he just hoped that the terrible disaster predicted by Nao Shizi would not come.
At the same time, Wei En also knew in his heart the reason why Lacey wanted to fight with him. Most of the reason was to vent his depression, and only a small part of it was to test the power of the sniper rifle.
But it was really difficult for him to control the power of that sniper rifle... He was really afraid of killing Lacey with one shot.
As for the other Carly and others, they also came with the idea of diverting attention and being curious about his gun to watch the battle together.
Don't stay in the office and think about Director Alais.
Well, especially Marco!
"Come on."
Sure enough, after entering the arena, Lacey changed his previous irritability and depression, clenched his fists and shook his neck, "I hope you have made enough progress, Wei En." "...
Captain, is there such a test? A target for the power of a weapon? Why don't you check the power of the gun first?" "
Oh? What do you mean by this, are you worried about hurting me?" The corners of Lacey's mouth turned up, and the expression on his face became more excited. "I like people who are as confident as you, unlike Marco who is like an egg."
"I..."
"Hey Captain Lacey, I won't bring you such an insult. Why don't I do it before Wayne?" Are you going to fight with the captain?"
"You?" Lacey glanced at him with an obvious disdain.
"That's me."
Before Wei En could say anything, Marco jumped into the arena first, and the lantern staff appeared in his hand, "Come on, Captain, let you see my progress during this period. !”
"Courage is admirable, but you are weak..." Lacey shook his head and said without refusing.
"Zach, Blue, Zac." (Easy Wind.)
Before she could finish speaking, Marco had already cast a spell with the help of the lantern staff, swayed his body and rushed towards Lacey, while activating his extraordinary bloodline.
"Apu, De, Liole!" (Blood of Chaos!)
"Are you serious?!"
Lacey looked at him in surprise, but it was better this way, the fight would be smoother, "Kes, Tefa No, Vicki!" (Sigil - Duel Cage!)
The dark chain spiraled out, and the end formed a bone claw with a shining metallic luster, tightly grasping the handle of the ax in both hands, surrounding the two people.
For a moment, the fist and the lantern staff collided together, and the bodies of the two people, one large and one small, turned into afterimages and fought fiercely.
Bang, bang...
Wei En felt a little relieved as he looked at the two people fighting in the field. He was really afraid that the full force of the sniper rifle would kill Lacey directly.
At the same time, he also had to admit that the physical fighting style of Lacey and Marco was more suitable for venting their inner emotions.
"They are so strong."
Carly, who was watching the battle, opened her mouth slightly, "I have seen Captain Lacey take action before, but I didn't expect Marco to be so strong." "
Aren't you a candidate saint of the Dawn Church? Your strength isn't bad, right?" Lidya asked curiously.
"No, it's different. I am practicing the Auxiliary Department in the Dawn Faith System, which is not suitable for fighting like them." "
Auxiliary Department? I heard that there are four branches within the Dawn Church, right?"
Carly hesitated. After a moment, he replied: "Yes, there are only four branches. They are the auxiliary system, the guardian system, the judgment system and the final ascetic system." "It sounds very powerful," Lidya said with envy: "It's
really Well, it would be great if I was also a transcendent..."
"Aren't you?" Carly was stunned for a moment. She thought that everyone who joined the Secret Adjustment Department was at least a transcendent.
"No, I was unlucky and didn't awaken my family's extraordinary bloodline. However," Lydia thought of her brother's appearance of activating his extraordinary bloodline, and said with disgust, "I don't like that look either, it's too ugly." "Yes.
" Like Marco?"
"Him? Their Chaos Blood looks pretty good, you can't even imagine how ugly it is." "
Really?" Carly looked at her thoughtfully, tentatively Then asked: "Then have you ever thought about embarking on the road of faith?"
"Faith?"
Lydia was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment, her eyes couldn't help but brighten: "Yes, why didn't I think of it before, you can still pass it?" The church becomes a clergyman."
"Let me think about it, dawn, storm, red moon and earth...which one is better to choose?" "
Of course it is dawn!" Carly said without thinking.
"Huh? I almost forgot that you are a candidate saint of Dawn Church. If you choose to believe in Dawn, I should be able to ask you to guide me, right?" "Of course..." Carly was about to agree, but then she thought of
something, which made her a little uncomfortable. He said politely: "Well, but the premise is that you can embark on the road of faith in Dawn." "
No problem, with my intelligence, I believe that He will accept me as a believer..."
Wei En heard The conversation between the two women made them scratch their heads unconsciously. One really dares to say it, and the other dares to do it.
But he didn't say anything. Everyone has their own choice, and others can't interfere even if they want to.
As much as Carly is a devout believer in Dawn, it makes sense for her to invite Lydia.
As for Lydia, who is an ordinary person and desires to become a transcendent through her belief system, it is understandable.
It's all a personal choice.
boom!
Wei En looked at Marco who was knocked away by Lacey's punch and passed out after hitting the defensive circle. He sighed inwardly that he might not be able to escape.
Okay,
let Lacey taste the power of the sniper rifle!
In the end, under Wei En's strong request, Lacey had to agree to see the power test of the sniper rifle before engaging in a gladiatorial battle.
Just next to the gladiatorial arena is the place where people from the war department usually train musket marksmanship. There is a special shooting range there.
After arriving there, Wei En was not polite and chose a target two kilometers away. Under the eyes of Lacey and others, he hesitated to speak.
Rapid, explosive, rune activated!
Aim and shoot!
Almost the moment he pulled the trigger, the bullet had already hit the target, and the power of the explosive runes attached to it suddenly burst out.
boom!
The target, which was strong enough to withstand a ministerial blow, was torn apart in an instant. The violent explosion also set off a strong wind, which messed up the hair of Lacey and others.
"Oh!!"
Seeing this power, Lacey took a breath, "Wei En, are you sure this is a gun? It's not the power of some powerful rune circle?" She was secretly glad in her heart
. Wei En persuaded her to stop. Otherwise, if he took such a bullet without knowing it, he would not know how he died...
Marco and others all looked like her, looking at the target in the distance. , then turned to look at the exaggerated sniper rifle in Wei En's hand, and swallowed unconsciously.
"The power of this gun is terrifying!"
Carly patted the towering clock and said fearfully: "If Captain Lacey was hit by this gun just now... it would be too scary."
And Lydia and The two of them had different reactions, and a green light flashed out of their eyes, "Wayne, can you sell me this gun? I'll pay a high price!!"
"Sell?" Marco responded, "Yes, Wayne, do you want to sell this gun? You said you made it yourself before, right? Then can you make one for me? I will also pay a high price."
"This..."
"Okay, don't make things difficult for Wei En," Lacey came back to his senses and interrupted several people: "If I'm right, your gun has a rune circle, right?"
"Yes,"
Wayne nodded and looked at Marco and Lydia apologetically, "It's not that I don't want to sell it, but this gun requires puppet manipulation. It's difficult for you not to be a wizard to use it."
" Ah..." Lydia lamented in disappointment, let alone a wizard, she is not even a transcendent, she is not as good as Marco.
Marco was also a little disappointed, but he still asked without giving up: "Can we modify it? Can we remove those rune formations?"
Wei En thought for a while, nodded and said: "This method is feasible, but the power will be reduced. "
He knew very well that the power of the rune array accounted for most of the reason why the sniper rifle in his hand was so powerful.
But even if the rune array is removed, the sniper rifle is much more powerful than the standard musket. It can at least reach the level of an ordinary captain, which is enough for use.
However, if he wanted to transform it into a sniper rifle that ordinary people could use, he would have to install an additional scope.
"Now, I believe you severely injured Poulson yesterday." Lacey came next to him, staring at the sniper rifle without blinking.
When Wei En saw Lacey so close, his body shrank back unnaturally, and he stretched out his hand to hold the sniper rifle as far away as possible.
In fact, the two hanging clocks were almost resting on his hands... This
made him couldn't help but recall the contents of the illusion formed by the source of desire yesterday...
Pain, pain and happiness...
... at the same time , in the Basil neighborhood of Castelpolis.
"I'm so tired."
A tall man in a sailor suit dropped the shovel in his hand with sweat on his face and collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.
"Who is not tired? I advise you to get up quickly, otherwise when the superiors find out, you will shed a layer of skin even if you die." "Speaking of which, why are
we digging this secret passage here?"
"You ask me?
The middle-aged man next to him wiped the sweat from his head, glanced at him, and said angrily: "My salary is only 1 shilling more than you a week. Do you think I can know what the boss thinks? " "
It's such a secret that you don't even know about it?" The man on the ground got up and came to his side, whispering: "Is there some treasure hidden over there that the higher-ups want to snatch?" "Shut up and hurry up.
" Work!" The middle-aged man glared at him.
"If you don't say it, don't say it~"
"Huh?" Before the middle-aged man could figure out why he had such a disgusting voice, he lost consciousness.
"You continue working here, I'll go find someone else to play~"
The middle-aged man didn't respond to his words. He looked at the rocks in front of him with dull eyes. He only raised the shovel in his hand and kept digging.
"It's boring~"
The tall man curled his lips and walked deeper and deeper with "enchanting" steps.
She wanted to see what the people on the Black Pearl were planning~
At the same time, at the port farther west from the Basil neighborhood.
Several figures got out of a small boat, got on a box carriage, and rushed all the way to the Basil neighborhood.
...
...
When Wei En and others returned to the office, they were told to go to the holding area at the rear to attend the farewell ceremony for Director Alais.
After the guard who came to deliver the message left the office, Lacey and the others' expressions became melancholy. They arranged their uniforms one by one, feeling extremely heavy.
"Why are you in the detention area?"
After a few people went out, they walked towards the detention area together under the leadership of Minister Yegor.
"After the death of an extraordinary person, especially a powerful extraordinary person, the flesh and blood on his body will contain extraordinary power and cannot be placed at will." Lacey explained calmly
: "Once touched by other ordinary people or extraordinary people with insufficient strength, If you touch them, they will be contaminated and corroded by the extraordinary power in the corpse." "
So, all the people who sacrificed their lives in the mission of our Secret Division will be placed in the detention area, where there is a specially designated Hall of Heroes." The Hall of Heroes
...
Wei Enxin suddenly realized that the corpse of the extraordinary person was also a source of pollution.
He thought of the prompt on the previous panel. When facing the corpse of a transcendent, it would prompt him to use the soul-devouring spell to devour it.
I guess this is a clear indication that those corpses have polluting properties, right?
[You are under the mental perception scan of Angus Martinez. Reward: Survival point +1. ]
[...]
[You are scanned by Feisa Peralta's mental perception. Reward: Survival point +1. ]
It wasn’t until Wei En followed the team to the gate of the detention area that he discovered that there were so many people in the Secret Adjustment Department. All departments combined, there were more than 3,000 people.
Even if there are only half of them being extraordinary, it is still a very terrifying force!
At the same time, at the door of the detention area, he also saw Director Nifa, a woman with a very hot figure who had just assumed the post of Director of the Secret Investigation Department.
Unlike Lacey, who is robust, Director Nifa has a more mature charm.
She was wearing a slightly loose red robe, and the clock on the left supported an arc that was not inferior to Lacey's, with the "Gunfire" logo of the Secret Mixing Department printed on it.
There is a black veil on her face, only revealing her black eyes, which are deep and calm.
He seems to be a director who is not easy to get along with...
Such thoughts came to Wei En's mind, and he saw the door of the detention area opened, and everyone walked inside quietly.
[You are being spied on by forbidden object 0-91***...]
Huh? ?
Are there any forbidden items here? !
Thanks to Mr. Zuowangfacai for the reward. Thank you very much.
It’s a big chapter with 10,000 words. I will work hard to update it and try my best to live up to the support of all the big guys.
This plot is the first climax of the book, and it is also a challenge for me.
I hope to write about the indifference to life from the perspective of an extraordinary person, the grudges and conflicts under the influence of extraordinary power, and help the protagonist sublimate in this city-state.
I know that this is very difficult, and it is difficult to describe the various sufferings in the process, especially since it is the first time for me to design such a plot where multiple forces join forces, confront each other, and cooperate to advance together.
I just hope that after I finish this plot, I can review it in a single chapter.
It’s still the same sentence, if there is a mistake, it will be corrected, but there will be no crowning. I am short-witted, but with all the big guys here, I can write this book in a good direction.
I hope you guys can give me a chance, thank you very much.
