Chapter 79, Part B: Aftermath
"The little boy in my arms?"
"They said Captain Parker was in charge of the funeral. Please express your condolences." Emma's voice lowered as she talked about this, probably to take care of Annick's emotions.
"Today is the 9th?"
"Yes. You have been sleeping for a day, and your two sisters came here during the period. It turns out that you are not bragging. Compared to your inconspicuous appearance, your two sisters are really beautiful. Hehehe."
Annick handed over a tissue and said, "Wipe your saliva. Our family is conservative and cannot accept a female son-in-law."
"What are you thinking about."
This is when the door of the ward was opened, and two maids pushed in a small car, which was filled with luxurious food. Annick could only recognize that there were almost two-inch thick steaks, grilled crispy breast chicken, and a stick.
Bone-in hoofs and various fruits.
"It's supper time, miss. The master said that you need to eat more to recover quickly. He said that he will come to see you tomorrow. The city is busy hunting for prisoners tonight. There are also security guards at the door of your ward. If you need anything, just call them.
He is a veteran who has been on the battlefield with me and is trustworthy."
Emma didn't seem to be interested in what was in front of her. She just picked a few fruits and then pushed the dining cart to Annick's side. "You want to eat, feel free, they will take care of it for you."
The two maids looked happy. It seemed that as long as someone was responsible for destroying the pile of things in front of them, the task was completed. They didn't care who got into the stomach.
"Please give me that hoof, it looks very tempting." After hearing this, the two maids hurriedly used knives and forks to remove the bones and cut them into small pieces. Annick's judgment was correct, and he stewed it with a variety of spices.
The soft and rotten hooves are more suitable for me now.
"What's going on with the search for the prisoner?" Emma seemed to have discovered the key point in what the two maids had just said.
"Oh, I heard that a convoy responsible for transporting a group of suspects was attacked by a bomb. The police responsible for the escort carried out the attack and cooperated with outsiders to attract attention. The two suspects were killed on the spot along with the police. The maid at home heard that
During the long chat, he said that the person who died was still a noble child."
They came to silence them so quickly. The people behind this group were so powerful that they dared to kill everyone alive in broad daylight. Annick immediately thought of killing people to silence them. After all, this Monger didn’t look like a tough guy who would rather die than surrender. Provide him with information or
Ritual magic and even those who helped him plan the whole case were not like the few soldiers and crab generals around him.
After eating a whole dish, Annick felt a little stuffed. He already had a plan on how to fool the people who came to inquire tomorrow. He just happened to destroy the ritual magic circle by biting himself to death. Anyway, there was no third witness at the scene.
By.
On August 10th, the morning sun shone on Annick's face. When he woke up, the bed next to Emma was empty. Maybe this so-called good partner was fine, and Emma had no reason to live in this civilian ward.
The door was quickly pushed open, and two men wearing a black police uniform and a man wearing a suit walked in. Annick took a closer look and saw that they were old acquaintances, Inspector Fred, one of the men who came to hypnotize him in June.
Fred didn't seem to recognize him. They were probably busy fishing in the haystack in June. Fred stretched out his right hand and shook it towards Annick.
"I am Inspector Fred from the Special Operations Division, and this is my assistant. I am here today to ask you for some details. In fact, they have already recruited most of the Mongers, but after the on-site sacrifice, after the evil god is possessed, how do you interrupt it?
It's for the summoning ceremony. Oh, there's also a machine here to make sure that what you tell is the truth. After all, it's a big deal, I hope you understand."
Annick watched curiously as the assistant took out a metal box from the suitcase. There was a pointer on it. There was a fan-shaped panel behind the pointer. On the left was a yes and on the right was a no.
"As you can see, this is a lie detector, and it is only used for extraordinary people."
The little assistant took out a shiny silver clip with a metal wire from the metal box and clamped it on Annick's middle finger. The cold touch that Annick felt must also be a magic item. Annick shook his head and complained directly.
road.
"Why don't you just find someone who can hypnotize you? Is this thing reliable?"
Fred shook his head, "Hypnosis may work for ordinary people, but it's hard to say how to deal with an extraordinary person. Most extraordinary people's energy has been strengthened and it is difficult to be hypnotized. Even if they are hypnotized, there is no guarantee that they are telling the truth.
, this box was invented by that dead nerd vampire. It is said that when a supernatural being tells lies, his emotional fluctuations can increase with magic power."
Annick looked at it and saw that it was no longer easy to fool him.
Fred found a folding chair and sat down, then said: "Get ready, I'm here to ask questions."
Annick only has a piece of meat now. Even if he tells all the truth, there is nothing to fear. "Please."
"Did you premeditate to kidnap Miss Emma? Although Miss Emma later confessed herself, the general forced her very hard. Please tell me the situation."
Annick shook his head, "There was no premeditation at all. I heard that little Cole, the little informant of our police station, was kidnapped and rushed to rescue him. He is just a civilian life. I don't think you will take it too seriously.
, so we staged this play. A general’s daughter should attract attention.”
Annick said this and glanced at the lie detector. The pointer on it swayed to the left. Fred also took a look.
"It seems you didn't lie. This was just a practice. Why was the ceremony suddenly destroyed?"
"I don't know, but I feel that there is the power of ice and snow at the scene, and the magic power of the winter god's amulet on my body has also been drained out." Annick said this, took out the amulet from his chest, and the cold feeling no longer existed.
The luster of the amulet has also dimmed a lot.
Fred took the amulet and said, "What's the power of ice and snow? I'll send someone to check out the scene later. Give me your amulet and I'll send it to you next week after the investigation."
This time, the polygraph tests were all tilted to the left. Fred was very satisfied and continued to ask: "There was a lot of damage in the courtyard at the scene, and there were obvious remnants of evil power. What's going on?"
"Well, I don't know how the first summons ended. I had a fight with Monger's transcendent. Since I still had a gun in my hand, I shot him 7 times. He was in a hurry to escape and didn't even bother to die with me.
After a fight, you should be able to see 7 shell casings together at the scene."
The instrument deflected more decisively this time, hitting the far left at once.
"continue."
Annick cleared his throat, and it was time for him to show off. "After defeating the enemy, I wanted to rescue little Cole. Unexpectedly, he seemed to be possessed by a god, oh, an evil god, floating in the air.
An attack was launched on me and Miss Emma. After Miss Emma was knocked away, I rolled around on the ground. After being hit by a spear from the evil god, I was blown up and landed just beside the summoned magic circle.
, I smashed the magic circle on the stage, and when I was about to escape with little Cole, I fainted."
This time the pointer did not swing to the left, but swung back and forth between left and right. Fred glanced at the instrument, turned his head and said with a hint of threat: "Chief Annick, have you still not fully explained?
."
Annick's head was sweating, "Let me add the details. After I dodged the first blow, I used my extraordinary ability in a short period of time, which is the one that enhances dynamic vision, and then I cast at the evil god.
The spear that came to my side fired five shots. That's all."
This time the pointer finally moved to the left.
After Fred looked at it, he said, "Last question, why didn't you just shoot the possessed boy? Your behavior is a bit strange. You are willing to go to create a base camp for an organization and face the evil god to harvest and sacrifice for a kid with whom you have no friendship.
You didn't stand up and resist immediately at the scene? About thirty cultists died at the scene, I thought your sense of justice was overwhelming."
Annick smiled bitterly: "I only went out of sympathy for my acquaintances. I promised his sister to bring him back. I didn't have a sense of justice or want to be a hero. Facing dozens of big men and three extraordinary people
Or I don't dare to openly cause damage. As for the large-scale casualties, it has nothing to do with my responsibility. On the contrary, if I didn't destroy the magic circle, I'm afraid there would be more casualties. The destruction of the possessed evil god is almost like a human cannon. You can kill me.
I understand him as a good person who is greedy for life and afraid of death but will risk his life to save his friends. As for the large number of cult members, I really don't dare to give up my life to challenge an evil god. The first time I summoned, only one appeared.
My hands are already very big. I can easily crush a transcendent who looks more experienced than me. Faced with this situation, I am not selfless enough to challenge the gods for someone who has nothing to do with me."
This time the needle is very far to the left. Annick is just an ordinary policeman with a weekly salary of 5 pounds. He is just a person who just wants to find his way home. He has never wanted to be a hero or a savior.
When Fred heard this, he stood up and shook hands with Annick, "You are still a hero. Although you did not perfectly calm the ceremony, you have made contributions that are beyond your abilities and responsibilities. Are you interested?
join us."
Annick replied with a smile: "I'm not interested. I've been in the hospital twice in less than a month. With my luck, I don't have the life to make money or spend money. By the way, you can recycle my gun and glasses."
Is it gone?"
"The gun will be replaced with our special .50 caliber Zuolun gun of the same model as ours, and you will also be given 30 rounds of special magic and evil-destroying ammunition. Your glasses, according to the records, were specially made for you by our nerd vampire below.
Well, the lens is broken. It looks like it can’t be repaired. If you can find some nice and exquisite dolls to bribe him, maybe he will make another one for you."
Annick shook his head. It would be very difficult for him to be shameless about magic items. He was afraid that he would have to use both hands to hold the large-caliber revolver. He still preferred the automatic pistol, but he was wearing such a pistol.
