Chapter 131 The Secret Technique of Shadow Killing (Updated with monthly tickets)
Along with the rapid and intensive ringing of bells, the entire Custer city-state became quiet as never before.
Whether it was the nobles in the Natoli neighborhood or the struggling poor in the Laos neighborhood, they all stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the Krimos Cathedral in the center of the city-state.
"Is this an alarm bell?"
"Early warning..."
"The alarm bell of Dawn Church, how, how could it be?"
"What the hell? Why don't you quickly pack up your things and go to the underground defense center?!"
I don't know who reacted and shouted There was a cry, and then everyone started to move.
"Run!"
"Damn it, I just arrived in Custer City, how could I be so unlucky to encounter something like this?"
"Stop talking nonsense, get out of here before it's too late!"
In just a moment, The entire city-state switched from silence to boiling.
Their heartbeats were like the sound of bells, rapid and powerful, for fear that if they ran too slowly they would be hit by the legendary crisis.
No matter what their status was before, whether they were nobles, poor people, or middle class...
they all turned into the same appearance under this warning - weak!
At this time, outside the high wall in the northeast of the city of Custer.
"Has it started?" Poulsen stood on the head of a dark vicious dog and heard the bell.
Next to him, standing on the deep evil dog, was a man also wearing a dark green robe and a black gold-patterned mask. He said in a hoarse voice, "Leave the north to you, I'll go to the east." "Okay,"
Bo Erson looked at the high wall of Custer City and said calmly: "The adults have been waiting for a long time." "
Let's go, have a good meal!"
The other person stamped his feet, and the dark vicious dog under him howled. Got out.
Poulsen watched him go away, and took more than a dozen equally ferocious deep evil dogs behind him to the north of the city of Custer.
At the same time, outside the port to the west of Basil Block, more than a dozen three-masted sailboats were stationary on the sea, blowing with the wind and waves of the Cordo Sea.
Some of them look like they have just experienced battle, and their hulls are covered with wooden boards of various colors.
Some of the ships were bloated, with huge cannons placed on the decks, and hundreds of well-trained sailors looking seriously in the direction of the city of Custer.
It looked more like a giant steel beast. The deck and hull were covered with thick steel plates, and there were two large chimneys emitting white smoke on both sides of the hull.
Various mechanical weapons were arranged neatly on both sides of the front deck. Some were like giant turrets, and some were giant crossbows. The crossbows were still shining with the light of runes.
It looks like a fortress from a distance.
The church bells came here from the faint wind, and the entire fleet fell silent for a moment, as if they had received some kind of signal.
"Raise the sails, set sail!"
"Raise the sails...set sail!"
"Woo-hoo--"
These ships of various shapes slowly sailed towards the city of Custer.
"In accordance with the order of the great Black Pearl, all Custer ships are prohibited from sailing on the west coast!"
Following the order, the sailors on the ship, no, it should be said to be pirates, all showed ferocious smiles and shouted and cheered.
"The great overlord of the Cordo Sea, Isabello!"
"You can kill him!"
But in the south of the city of Custer, it seemed unusually calm at this time.
"Praise to Lady Storm!"
An old man wearing a dark blue robe couldn't help but smile as he looked at the high wall in the distance, especially those who had fled in panic.
"Master Bishop, he, he really did it?"
Behind him, rows of people were wearing armor of the same color as the old man, with the storm logo printed on their chests - a slender figure standing proudly in the wind and waves.
"Of course."
"Then..."
the old man turned around and glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and take your people over to greet her. They are all devout believers of Lady Storm!" "
This, it shouldn't be, right?" "
The old man looked at him and showed two rows of white teeth. "You should believe that if they are not, then you will have no choice but to accept the summons of Lady Storm." "Please rest assured, Lord Bishop, they can only and must be
. A devout believer of Lady Storm!"
"It's best..."
The old man looked in the direction of Custer City State again, and could vaguely see a section of the spire exposed on the high wall.
Dawn...dawn!
...
...
"Teacher, is there really a level four disaster coming?" Carly settled down on Euan and couldn't wait to run to the chapel inside the church.
Andrews did not look back, his eyes were still fixed on the statue in front of him, and he spoke slowly in a low and powerful voice: "Carly, you are now a candidate saint, and you must always remember the teachings of Dawn." Carly has already retired from the Secret Adjustment Department
. The investigator's uniform was replaced by the dress worn at the ceremony, which was sacred and noble.
Before that, she was extremely anxious.
But after arriving at this chapel, under the gaze of the statue of the Lord of the Dawn and the portraits of the eight Guardians of the Dawn, any strange emotions were instantly soothed.
"Teacher, can you tell me what is going to happen?"
"This is not something you should know now... Follow Melbell, he will take you where you should go." "
Where you should go? Do you want me to leave here?" A trace of solemnity flashed through Carly's eyes that had just regained their composure.
Although Bishop Andrews didn't answer, she was already sure that something big was going on at Dawn.
"Of course, your destination is not Custer, but the sacred authority."
Authority...
if she can't even do what she wants to do, what's the use of having that authority?
Carly shook her head, "I won't leave!"
"Be obedient, child." Andrews turned around, "Please forgive my disrespect, and please allow me to call you this for the last time. I am very happy to receive a great gift from you." Before He calls, he teaches students like you."
"Call?" Carly was shocked, and regardless of the occasion, she stepped forward and took his hand, "Teacher, when is it?" "It's time to come
. It will always come." A familiar loving smile appeared on Andrews' face. "You should be happy for me. This is a great blessing from the dawn." "Let's go,
leave here, this matter has nothing to do with you."
"I..."
"Your Majesty Bishop," at this time, Melbell suddenly appeared next to the two of them, "I also suggest that Your Majesty stay here." "
Melbell, you have crossed the line!"
Andrews turned sideways. The body, with its back to Kali, was half submerged in the shadow of the Dawn Lord statue.
Under this shadow, the smile on his face was strangely split into two, with one side being kind and the other side being eerie.
Melbell bowed slightly, "Sorry."
"Teacher, as you said, let me follow Melbell closely." Carly walked around Andrews, stood next to the guardian knight, and said firmly: "I will follow him. Will stay here!"
Andrews was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the statue again, "Look at that scene, it's good...remember, never run around."
Carly was delighted, "Teacher, please don't worry, I Will protect myself."
"I hope..."
The guardian knight took a step back, disappeared into the shadows, and stared at Carly from an imperceptible corner.
Your Majesty, this will be a perfect trial.
...
...
Just when Carly decided to stick to Krims Cathedral, she was in the 102 Secret Adjustment Department in Dumitru Block, not far away. Everyone stood neatly outside the detention area just like they saw off Director Alais yesterday.
But unlike yesterday, the number of people was less than half of yesterday's.
"Damn bastards, they are all on the side of the Ernst family..." Marco glanced around and cursed in a low voice.
"You should be happy," Lacey looked forward. "Wouldn't this highlight your alternativeness?"
Marco: "..."
Alternative?
Are you saying that Nascimento and all of them support the Ernst family, but he is the only one missing the heir?
That was really unusual...
Wayne didn't notice the conversation between Lacey and the two, and didn't even notice that the number of people was reduced by more than half. He was busy thinking about how to get rid of Black Jack.
Along the way from the logistics department to the detention area, whenever he deviates from the route, a murderous intention prompt will appear on the panel.
This basically confirmed his suspicion - Black Jack's target was indeed one of him and Tina!
Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, don't be anxious...
In just one second, or even less, he can take Tina and hide in the clown theater.
Hold on, hold on!
"Wei En, Wei En?"
"What's wrong, captain?" Wen En came back to his senses and saw Lacey standing in front of him half turning to look at him.
"If there is a fight, you must take Tina and follow me closely, understand?" Lacey reminded him seriously, not paying attention to his distraction.
"Yes." Wei En shook the white-haired girl's little hand.
"If you're worried, I'll be responsible for protecting them." Old Jack looked at Wei En and the others with concern, "Let me contribute one last effort." "..." The corner of
Wei
En's mouth twitched slightly, and then No need, right?
Don't promise him, Captain Lacey!
"Old Jack, this is not something I can decide." Lacey shook his head, "You know, when Si Li summoned you, he also made all arrangements." "That's right..."
Old Jack touched his head. The short gray-haired man didn't insist anymore and seemed to just make a casual suggestion.
Okay, okay...
Wei En felt a little relieved, but he was even more wary of Black Jack. This man was really evil!
At this time, Nifa hurriedly came with a group of senior members of the Secret Adjustment Department and ministers from various ministries.
Everyone stopped talking and looked forward seriously, waiting for their orders quietly.
Except for Wei En, who has little experience, everyone else knows that when a city-state is in crisis, the chance of surviving by escaping is not high. It is better to fight with the large army.
"Everyone," Nifa faced everyone, his voice was low, but it could be heard clearly by everyone, "We don't know exactly what will happen next." "
But I am sure that everyone in the city-state, including us, will , are all facing an unprecedented crisis!"
She said without unnecessary nonsense, seriously and seriously: "I hope we can solve it together!"
[You have been scanned by Nifa Letitia Ellis' mental perception. Comments: ...do you have a strange feeling? Reward: Survival Points +3. 】
Strange feeling?
Wei En secretly wondered, what does it mean?
Is there anything wrong with Director Nifa’s perception?
"Now, the specific arrangements are as follows."
"Deputy Director Balazs, lead all the investigators who have been called back, and guard the west entrance of Dumitru Block." "
Deputy Director Dorff, you and Minister Abbott, go to the northwest entrance!" "
Bei Deputy Director Renick, lead the temporarily sealed polluters to protect the southwest..."
It didn't take long for everyone to receive the task arrangement, and those with stronger combat capabilities, such as the Investigation Department and the War Department, were assigned to The east side is closer to Klims Cathedral.
Wei En was overjoyed. The bastard Black Jack was placed to the west, far enough for him to escape.
As long as he is patient, absolutely!
Immediately afterwards, everyone began to receive various equipment issued by the Property Management Department, which even included some mechanical weapons that had been stored in the collection room.
Only then did Wei En notice those people walking out of the sealed area.
Among them was Roget, whom he had met once when he first joined the company.
It's just that these people all have some distortions on their bodies, and some even have most of their bodies turned into disgusting tentacles.
"Roget..." Marco also saw Roget and the others, shook his head and sighed, silently checking the equipment on his body.
But Old Jack hadn't left yet, and returned to them after picking up the equipment.
"Why don't you go to Deputy Director Balazs?" Lacey looked at him doubtfully, "Old Jack, now is not the time to be willful. Wait until the matter is over..." "I'll go there later," Old Jack raised his
eyebrows Hand interrupted.
"Past..."
"Ah——"
At this moment, a scream sounded, alarming everyone.
Immediately afterwards, Director Nifa's voice appeared, "It's the Shadow Killer. Everyone works in pairs, back to back, and watch your steps!"
Shadow Killer?
what is that?
Although he was confused, Wei En reacted quickly and quickly moved closer to Marco and pulled Tina to his side.
Lacey and Old Jack were back to back, and they did not forget to remind them in a low voice: "Be careful, the shadow killers can attack through the surrounding shadows!" "
Understood!"
Wei En quickly observed the surrounding shadows, holding his hands Holding the newly modified revolver, the ghosts above them also looked around seriously.
Damn it, Black Jack was attacked before he could leave... Fuck!
[You are targeted by Shaluba Kristoff’s murderous intent. Comment: It’s dark and the road is slippery, so be careful where you step. Reward: Survival Points +3. ]
[...]
[You are targeted by Jesiah Ledesma's killing intent. Rating: ...Reward: +2 Survival Points. ]
In just three seconds, everyone was ready and looking around with caution.
"Aren't you slow to respond? The ominous people from the Secret Investigation Department..."
"Come out!"
Just as the voice appeared, Minister Abbott stepped out and punched the shadow behind an investigator.
In an instant, a black shadow shattered and turned into tiny black shadows all over the sky, scattering to everyone around him like raindrops.
"The secret technique of the shadow transformer?" Abbott's face darkened and he shouted: "Get out of the way!" "It's too
late..."
I saw that the bodies of those who were contaminated by the small black shadows were so stiff that they could not move. He opened his mouth with a frightened expression and wanted to say something.
But before their voices could be heard, their entire bodies and their clothes turned into the color of shadows in a very short period of time, and then their bodies fell into the shadows on the ground like ink and disappeared.
The same secret attack exploded in the crowd from time to time, taking away all the people around who were contaminated by the shadow.
"careful!"
Wayne's mental perception covered the surroundings, and he immediately discovered that the shadow emerged from under Marco, and the force of the impact with his back caused Tina to roll forward.
boom!
Old Jack reacted faster than him, and fired the standard musket in his hand at the black shadow, and the bullet exploded and shattered him.
"Bastard!"
When Lacey saw those small black figures, she inserted her ax in front of her and opened her hands: "Cool and De!"
A shield protected her and Old Jack.
"Balaz, activate the magic circle!"
I couldn't write, it was harder than I thought. There will be a chapter around six o'clock during the day.
