Neo suddenly became nervous, and with a hint of panic, he stammered:
"Your Highness...where did you hear about this?"
Li Yedonich raised his eyebrows, his expression became lively, and with a smile on his lips, he said: "Oh? So, this matter is true?"
Neo gritted his teeth and nodded: "The person is indeed missing. Both the police station and the prison have sent personnel to search, but so far, there is no news."
"How did your Highness know this?"
Li Yedonich did not answer, but just glanced at the female guard beside him.
Neo immediately understood and nodded, looking at Ansner with a hint of awe in his eyes.
"So, why did that person leave?" Liye Donich asked.
"This is just a small thing. Maybe he is just sick, or maybe he got drunk somewhere. Yes, that's the case. It is said that that person has a bad habit of drinking. Maybe he is lying in a trash can in the lower block now..."
"Is it really?"
These words made Neo suddenly break out in a cold sweat. Neo looked into Liye Donich's eyes and found that those emerald-like eyes were extremely deep, like two endless whirlpools.
Li Yedonich suddenly laughed and changed his position on the chair, "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask about the specific situation."
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, we will find out the truth as soon as possible." Neo kept wiping his sweat and said.
"Well, this is best. If a subordinate of the security force disappears, the reason must be found out." Liye Donich looked at Neo, "Isn't it because you withheld his salary? Or, using some unsightly means.
Use small means to isolate him?"
"This will never happen!" Neo said excitedly.
"Then it's best. Well, it's getting late. I have to go back to Faerun. I hope you will continue to work hard. After all, York is such a big city and it must be in charge of someone with matching abilities."
Neo left tremblingly. The moment he exited the room, the cold sweat all over his body seeped out like a flood from a floodgate.
Having been a York City police officer for so long, he naturally understands what Liedonich said, which means...
If you are not capable enough, you can leave this position.
"Damn it, what happened again, and some ignorant guy is holding me back at this juncture."
Neo lowered his voice, cursed and went downstairs. Suddenly, a feeling of hunger came from his stomach. He remembered that he had not eaten for two hours.
"Well, let's go get something to eat first, and then we'll go find that damn bastard. Well, that's it. We can also have some Sarriere wine."
Neo suddenly felt relaxed and walked directly to the high-end Moenxi restaurant nearby, preparing to fill his stomach first.
????????????
The only room on the third floor of the Morn West Hotel.
Liedonich stood on the balcony, looked at the streets of York, and asked in a low voice: "How long will it take?"
"The steam train will arrive in two hours. The carriage downstairs is ready. Excluding the half hour to prepare for emergencies, you must set off in half an hour at the latest so that you can get on the train on time."
The female guard named Ansna Tasia reported in an orderly manner.
"Half an hour?" Li Yedonich was slightly surprised, "Can I still have time to play a game of chess?"
"It's too late." Ansner replied affirmatively.
Li Yedonich didn't say much. He seemed to be used to the speaking style of his female escort. Then he turned his head and turned his attention to the city of York under the sun again.
"York, it feels like a nice city. It would be great if I could stay here for a while."
"Let's go, Ansner, pack your things and prepare to return to Faerun. There are still many things to do after you return."
"Yes, Your Highness."
????????????
Leinu Church, York.
Selin walked out of the church door, took a deep breath, and sighed: "Well, the weather is nice."
Su Ge nodded after him.
This was the first time he went out to visit with people in the association. He enjoyed the feeling of everyone being together, without having to worry about anything.
Just like a real family, preparing for a picnic.
Selin walked in the front, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "The Kanos flowers are blooming just right. It's a good day to embark on the journey."
"Canos flower?" Su Ge looked at the blooming flowers on the side of the street, "Is there any explanation for this?"
"The meaning of the Kanos flower is the beginning of light," Gary explained. "It should be a unique saying in York. Anyway, I have rarely seen the Kanos flower in other places."
"A unique statement? Have you been to other places?" Betro whispered.
Gary's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said quibly: "Well, because of the commission, I still passed by some other places."
As he said that, the two started to quarrel.
Su Ge enjoyed the daily hustle and bustle, came to Selin's side, and looked at the clusters of tender flowers in full bloom.
"It makes people feel happy, doesn't it?" Selin said with a smile, "You see, just a few simple things can add color to life and make people feel that life is not so bad, even if they encounter temporary difficulties.
Even if you are stuck, you can start a new journey full of light."
Su Ge nodded, deeply convinced.
"Haha, that's good. If you choose to travel far away one day, remember to find a season when the Kanos flowers are blooming. I will see you off then." Selin winked at Su Ge.
Just when Su Ge wanted to say something, Cecia suddenly interrupted: "Are there men like you? Who like flowers?"
"Of course, there are women like you who like wine." Angdu hummed in an inconspicuous corner.
????????????
While they were talking, several people arrived at No. 15 Jingallan Street.
Looking at the building behind the black iron door, a serious and heavy pressure spread around them.
Selin looked at the silent Foer Mansion in front of him, and asked Angdu next to him with a puzzled look: "It's strange, isn't it?"
"It's very strange," Andu also looked at the Foer Mansion, turned to ask Su Ge, "Have you been here a few times, do you always feel like this?"
Su Ge shook his head slightly, his expression also very confused, "No, never. When I came here a few times before, there were many people here, busy and lively, but now..."
Su Ge looked at the deadly silent Foer Mansion in front of him and swallowed, "I don't know why, but it feels like this place is... very much like..."
"A cemetery," Ondu said.
Su Ge nodded.
Yes, just as Ondu said, the Foel Mansion at this moment has lost its former vitality and has become dead, just like the suburban cemetery they once visited, without any color.
Not only is the atmosphere of human activity missing here, but even the plants and trees in the garden seem to have lost their vitality, showing an appearance of decay and decay, as if they are approaching the end of life.
The entire Foer Mansion is like a black and white sketch, lifeless. In that silence that can drive people crazy, something seems to be hidden and ready to move.
It was like an invisible flame was burning, making everyone feel flustered and anxious.
Everyone in the mutual aid association looked at each other and adjusted their status.
"I'll open the door." Su Ge volunteered and came to the black iron door. With a stroke of his hands, a small door opened for only one person to pass through.
The moment the iron door opened, an evil and filthy aura appeared. Su Ge was shuddered. He subconsciously took out the dagger from his lower back and stood in a posture facing the enemy.
Seeing this scene, everyone else fell silent.
Chant after chant sounded, and holy and bright power descended on everyone.
Selin and Ang both walked at the front, "Let's go and see what's inside."
The group of people walked quietly in the Foer Mansion, passing by withered landscape trees, passing by the black and smelly fountain, and passing by the dry grass.
Everything in front of me shows that this place is suffering from a strange and terrifying influence. As for why this is happening, no one knows.
Everyone was silent, like a team of corpse bearers.
A heavy and panicking pressure came, and Su Ge tried his best to control his breathing so as not to break this crazy tranquility.
He always has the illusion that the first sound that appears in this environment will bring some ominous consequences.
A buzzing sound came from the front, attracting Su Ge's attention.
He looked in the direction of the sound and found that in a corner of the garden, a large group of flies were surrounding something, biting and biting.
Su Ge judged it from the rotten fur and speculated that it was probably a cat.
All members of the association saw this scene, but no one seemed to have seen it. They just walked through quickly and came to the door of the Foel Mansion.
The tension and depression along the way made Su Ge forget his instinct to speak. He gestured randomly, and in the end he could only use his dagger to draw marks on the ground.
"Why don't you speak?" Angdu asked.
This familiar voice seemed to have some kind of magical power. Su Ge and others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, feeling as if they were being dragged back to earth from hell.
"Huh, I'm almost dying." Gary forced a smile, sweat began to drip from his forehead.
Selin also adjusted his state and whispered: "There are extraordinary factors affecting it, there is no doubt about it, but..."
"But why is this feeling the smell of decay?"
Angdu also made a questioning expression and said: "But it seems that no human beings have been affected. At least on the way we came here, we did not see a single human being affected by this aura. It is a blessing among misfortunes."
"Do you want to go in? Noli may have left too."
Selin was silent for a moment.
"Jin, since we are in York, this is our responsibility."
In Selin's firm voice, Angdu opened the door.
The next moment, a storm full of decay surged in, like a tsunami, swallowing everyone up.
