"What did you say?!"
In a secret office of the Loen military, Duchess Georgina Augustus stared at the trembling Heras in front of her, "The Black Emperor is back?!"
"That's right. It's absolutely true, Your Majesty!" The Sequence 6 Beyonder, who had been defeated by the Black Emperor in Kapin's mansion and finally escaped in a panic, nodded frantically.
"After the [Secret Deal] was disrupted, Sanson received the tarot cards sent by the trading party!!"
"That's an Emperor card!!"
"It's that guy again... Duchess Georgina gritted her teeth, "He's back, ruining our business again...
"Where are those people captured by Samson?" There seemed to be an electric current flowing through her eyes. Sequence 3 level [Mind Piercing] accumulated in her eyes, oppressing Heras's soul. "Where are the people?!"
"[Robber]The Black Emperor twisted their delivery location and they all ran away
"Useless!!!" The mental piercing instantly pierced Heras's head, "You actually let that damn [Rogue] steal your business just because of such a lame excuse as 'not enough money'!! Do we look like we are short of money?!"
"Earlier, I asked you to protect Kapin, but you and three Beyonders teamed up and still lost! If it weren't for the fact that you and I are members of the same family and have a certain blood relationship, I would have executed you long ago!!"
"This time, I asked you to be a trading party and exchange people with Sansong to atone for your sins, but you still managed to do such a stupid thing!!"
"Do you know how much effort our ancestors put in to bring the plan to where it is today? Do you know how many years our family has spent planning for that great plan?!"
"Three hundred years! We have been planning for nearly three hundred years!" Duchess Georgina shouted angrily, "These three hundred years of hard work may be completely ruined because of you!!"
"If you walk out of my office door alive today, I will no longer be called Augustus.
!!"
Laughing, laughing wildly, Heras laughed loudly, laughed so hard that he fell backwards and even a little breathless.
"What's so funny?" Her face turned pale. "Heracus, what's so funny?!"
"I'm laughing at you! Georgina Augustus!!" Heras smiled crazily, "You actually told everything!!"
"You said you won't let this idiot leave your office door? Hahahaha
Ha...." He laughed crazily until he covered his stomach with his hands. "Kill them all! Kill them all! I already know everything!!"
"Who are you? You are not Heras." Georgina stood up suddenly and stared at Heras in front of her, "Who do you represent?"
"I represent the [Demon Family]," Heras stared at
He said to the semi-saint in front of him, "I am here to investigate the large-scale disappearance of people in the territories of the three major families."
"Originally, I just wanted to investigate Backlund's human traffickers to see who was behind the extortion of people. I didn't expect that the Black Emperor killed the biggest human trafficker, Kapin, half a year ago, and the clues were cut off."
"But later I was surprised to find that Kapin was protected by so many [Arbitrators], some of whom were even mid-sequencers. This is quite interesting."
"So I started tracking down the bodyguards who survived from the Black Emperor, and finally found this guy." Heras pointed at himself.
"Until then, I also thought that human trafficking was just a demigod abusing his power for personal gain and enriching himself. All I needed to do was give him a warning… The representative of the demon family stared at the duchess in front of him.
"Now it seems that it is quite different from what I guessed~"
"I'm very curious now, what is the big event that your Augustus family has been planning for three hundred years? Is it useful to our Demon Family?"
"Goodbye, Duchess Georgina. I hope this is not the last time we meet."
After saying this, Heras' body fell down, as if he had already been eroded by the abyss.
Georgina's face turned pale and she clenched her fists.A little blood.
"Why did you come to me all of a sudden?" Xio looked at the MI9 liaison officer wearing a golden mask in confusion. "What happened?"
"I don't know, but there's a high probability that something has happened." The man in the golden mask said in a deep voice, "According to the order from above, we are going to investigate the recent serial murders with all our strength and find the Beyonder murderer. Once found, we will kill him without mercy."
"Uh...." Xio was speechless for a moment as she looked at the man in the golden mask. "Did your boss give you any clues?"
"Yes," the man with the golden mask said, "The murderer is a Sequence 7 Beyonder, who may have been promoted to Sequence 6. The corresponding sequence potions are [Serial Killer] and [Demon]."
"I'm only Sequence 8," Xio weakly pointed out. "Even if I find it, how can I possibly defeat a Beyonder with a higher Sequence than me? And one who's obviously good at fighting?"
"That's not a problem. They've taken that into consideration." He took out a package and said, "Look."
He opened the package and saw a bottle and a pile of materials.
"I've said before that our superiors take this mission very seriously and are even willing to prepay a bottle of potion for each informant," he looked at Xio, "I will mix you a dose of Interrogator potion on the spot. Drink it and advance to Sequence 7, and solve the case as soon as possible."
Xio blinked, a little bit unable to believe her ears, but her eyes told her that there was nothing wrong with her ears, because the man with the golden mask really started to mix the potion.
Soon, a magic potion emitting a white arc of light was placed in front of her, waiting for her to take it and advance.
"Is this really an advance payment?" Xio carefully picked up the cup of potion. "Will there be more merits after the task is completed?"
"Yes," the man nodded, "The higher-ups said that whoever can catch the murderer will be given the next sequence of potion formula."
"Drink."
Xio looked at him again and turned his attention back to the potion.
She closed her eyes and swallowed the potion in one gulp.Chapter 48 Interrogation
"Dad? Why do you want to become a Beyonder?" Xio asked curiously.
"To maintain the laws and peace of the kingdom, to maintain true justice." Mason Dill looked at his 10-year-old daughter, "to protect the future of my beloved daughter."
"Dad, what is justice?" Xio looked at his tall father and blinked.
"The will of His Majesty the King is justice."
It hurt, so much that it shattered this warm scene.
"Dad, why did you want to rebel?"
What?! Because of what? Because of what?
Xio held her head, as if someone was whipping her brain with a whip. Invisible light penetrated every pore of her body, just like a sharp knife scraping across her skin.
"Mason Dill intends to rebel and subvert the kingdom. The evidence is clear and the charges are proven. This court hereby
"Deprive the Dill family of their titles and fiefdoms!!
Confiscate the treasure house and collections of the Dier family!! Exile the Dier family members and clans!! Arrest the Dier family's accomplices and gang members!!"
"At the same time, Mason Dill himself shall be hanged immediately!!"
The judge, whose face had long since become blurred, brought down the gavel of judgment, smashing all the glory of the entire family for hundreds of years.
And everything about Hugh Dilchar.
The wriggling pain drilled through her head. The potion turned into mist, filling her vision. The tall interrogator interrogated one tribesman after another. They could not bear the torture in the pain and confessed under the suffering.
Her eyes widened as if they were about to burst and burst out.
"Thank you, Miss Xiu." A voice came in my ear, "You really helped us a lot."
"Thank you, Miss Xiu, you really made these gangsters behave themselves."
"Thank you…..Thank you......
Every word of praise echoed in her ears, rushing
The horrible pain faded away, allowing her to regain consciousness and reason.
"Xiu, remember this," the father's voice said again.
Echoing in my ears, "The rules that cannot be violated are [laws], and the behavior that maintains the rules is
[Public security].
"When your actions are to uphold the law and maintain public order, there is no need to
Feeling pain for my actions."
"Even if someone suffers because of the rules you follow, you are not the source of their suffering. Because you are just maintaining them.
Ah." "The source of error is always the maker.
Her shaking began to slow, her breathing evened out, until finally, she was no longer gasping for air.
"Sequence 8 [Sheriff]." She slowly stood up. "Sheriffs maintain law and order."
"Sequence 7 [Interrogator], Interrogator interrogates
sinner. "
"Headline news, breaking news!!" Klein said
Wearing pajamas, thinking about the newspaper I read late at night, I took a sip of tea, "90 men and women suddenly appeared out of nowhere, it seems like a supernatural event!!"
"......The bishop of the Church of Darkness bluntly claimed that this was all a trick of the evil gods and demons to deceive people into believing in the goddess. Currently, a priest has been sent to the scene to perform an exorcism......
"These journalists are really dedicated to their duties.
Ah." Klein sighed secretly, "But now I know the location of the organizer of the transaction."
After breaking the deal, he and Hazel
After communicating for a while, they made some inferences about the identities of those traders.
Hazel pointed out that the first transaction was hosted by
The party A is very similar to the previous party A, and the organizer of the second transaction is replaced by the previous party C, and the trader is still party D. As for the previous party B, it did not participate in this transaction.
Klein has no way to deal with Party A for the time being.
He couldn't find the position of Party B, but he could vaguely see Shi Zan, who was holding the weapons.Chapter 49: Mask of the Eggers Family
Backlund, Docklands, Black Skull Party
"Boss, have a cigarette," a gang cadre flatteredly handed a cigarette to the Black Skull Gang's leader, a Sequence 8 Gravedigger, "consider it my humble gift to you."
"Well," the leader of the Black Skull Party took the cigarette and started smoking, "When will Pdogos come back?"
"Look at the time. Let's wait a few more minutes." Another member said, "Boss, what magical effect do you think the mask of the God's Family will have?"
"The mask of the Eggers family?" The boss exhaled a puff of smoke. "I don't know, but I personally guess that the symbolic effect of the mask is greater than its practical effect."
"According to common sense, the more powerful the magical item is, the more exaggerated the side effects will be. If it is a divine item, it must be very dangerous."
"Count Wolfe is just a mortal with high power. How could he possibly afford to collect a divine item? In my opinion, that mask is at most Sequence 5 or Sequence 6."
"However, since it is the mask of the great Eggers family, it must be recovered even if it only has symbolic meaning! Not to mention that the Eggers family is the family of God, there is no telling what secrets the mask may hide!!"
"We cannot leave such a precious mask to the pagan nobles!! The property of the descendants of the god of death can only be controlled by the descendants of the god of death!!"
As he was speaking, the door creaked open and Podogos pushed the door open and came back.
After exchanging pleasantries, Pdogos walked unnoticed to the high-performance explosives piled up in the corner.
"boom!!!!"
The loud noise woke up many families. They only saw a huge explosion in the dock area at night.
Ryan appeared on the rooftop of a nearby building in the form of a spirit, staring at the flames still exploding below, "Interesting."
He disappeared, as if he had never been there.
"Sir, I have figured it out. You are right. Everyone grows up from having no experience or very little experience. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to grow."
"Just figure it out," Klein nodded.
"Don't easily assume that you are incompetent."
"More importantly, don't get involved with those people from the Spiritual Cult.
"Whether it is the Restorationists or the Artificial Death Godists."
"Speaking of which, although I need to focus on stealing the Antigonus Family Notes and don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, I have caused quite a few things to happen."
"No, to be precise, it's a variety of things.
He couldn't help but think, "Yesterday's Eggers family mask was also like that. Things came to me one by one...
"Mr. Azik would be interested in the Eggers family mask, but I have been involved in so many things recently, and it would be too much of a hassle to steal the mask."
"Well... Tomorrow is the Tarot Club. I will announce this mission and ask the members of the Tarot Club to help me steal the mask."
"Perhaps Mr. Moon and
"Magician, please cooperate with me to complete this mission. After all, our Tarot Club is a secret organization, and members must always work together."
'Just like Mr. Hanged Man and the two new members, Pope and Lover, who just joined the organization and already did such a big thing.'
"Speaking of which, I wonder how Mr. The Hanged Man and his men are doing with their hunt for Admiral Deepwater!
'Calculate the time, Mr. [The Hanged Man]
Is it time to reach the Sea of Ximim?'
Raging Sea, Sea of Ximim
The Blue Avenger roamed on the rough sea as if it were walking on flat ground.
Siatas stood on the deck, drew her bow, nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow!
An empty wine bottle was accurately shot through by an arrow.flew over the sea, and under the wine bottle, Mobet breathed a sigh of relief————
The bottle was against his head just now. If Xiatas missed the target or the boat suddenly shook, his head would be shot through.
"Why do you always use such a dangerous method to train your archery?" Mobet asked with lingering fear, "Can't you just put the bottle on the box? Why do you have to let me hold it on my head?"
"Putting it on your head will help me get the feeling of fighting," Siatas didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior. "We are going to find a pirate general, it's very dangerous, I have to stay in good shape."
"What if I get shot to death..." Mobet muttered with a wry smile.
The crew members watching on the deck were almost terrified. They all swallowed their saliva and involuntarily turned their eyes away from Siatas, even though this woman was so beautiful.
They didn't want to become the next person to practice archery with a bottle of wine on his head because of their infatuation with Siatas's beauty.
"Captain..." Brown-haired Kasher swallowed and looked at Alger Wilson, "Is it really okay for us to ask her to be a bodyguard?"
"Too violent," Dellas also echoed, "She is even more violent than the priest in our previous church, and she is also very lazy. More importantly, she doesn't like our Lord."
Alger, who was watching the two practicing, was also terrified, having completely underestimated the strong character of this Second Age elf.
The Beyonders of the Sailor Path were always very irritable, but he asked himself honestly: he had seen so many Deacons of the Punishers and Bishops of the Church of Storms, including many Sequence 5 Beyonders, but he had never seen anyone with a personality as violent as Siatas.
He had received more than one complaint that Siatas had fought with the crew just to get a few more drinks, which was actually good enough, especially considering how much she hated the Lord of Storms.
This elf had no good feelings towards the Lord of Storms. Although she did not say it, her words and actions revealed her disgust for him, which caused her to be hated by most of the crew.
However, the paradox is that although she doesn't like the Lord of Storms at all, she doesn't care about or participate in any of Alger's preaching activities on the ship, and she even has good intentions towards such activities.
Typical example: Once, when Alger was preaching in the middle of a sermon, the ghost ship, for some unknown reason, suddenly played a prank. The ropes on the sails came alive and swept away the "Storm Codex" in Alger's hand.
The sermon was interrupted and the scene was in chaos.
The crew either chased after it or climbed up the mast, trying to snatch the Holy Book back, but the rope was floating in the air and was not so easy to grab.
Alger himself would certainly not reveal his secret advancement to Sequence 6, and could fly up and retrieve the Holy Scripture at any time. Just when he thought this farce would continue for a while, he was shocked to find that Siatas had flown up and taken the Holy Scripture down.
"Your book." She waved her hand and threw the holy book back into Alger's hands. "Since it is so important, don't throw it away casually."
"I thought you didn't like my Lord," Alger asked in surprise, "I never thought you would take the initiative to help me get back my Lord's holy book?"
"I don't like the Lord you believe in," she curled her lips, "but that doesn't mean I despise His followers. On the contrary, I admire those devout people."
"No matter who they believe in," she added, "such people deserve respect even if they are enemies."
"Do you think I'm pious?" Alger asked curiously.
Siatas looked at him and flew away again, leaving only one sentence.
"I have no idea."
Since then, the hostility of all the crew members towards her has obviously weakened, and they are more afraid of her violence.
Back to the present.
"Who among you is willing to help me take the next target?" She looked at the crowd of crew members watching, "I just happen to have a bottle of wine here."
The crew members looked at each other, and then returned to their posts in a flash, as if they had never left their posts and had forgotten that the ship could be operated without crew members.
