The man took off the thing stuck to his face and threw it in the wind without looking at it. He looked at Angdu fiercely, with a look of anger on his face.
Angdu gestured to Selin, "Ah, this is an old acquaintance of mine. Brother Selin, please go first, I will come later."
After Selin left, Ondu came over with a playful smile and said, "Police Chief Neo, I miss you every day we can't see each other."
Neo, who had a round belly, was full of anger and did not speak. He only stared at Ondu with his hands behind his back.
Angdu still smiled playfully, took a few steps closer, grabbed Neo's arm and walked aside.
"What?" Neo asked angrily.
"Let's talk, come here." Ondu firmly grabbed Neo's arm and walked to a place where no one was around. "I know why you are angry."
Just as Neo was about to open his mouth, Ondu immediately said: "I did this actually for you."
"For me?" Neo's eyes were full of doubts, "For me, you sent my police officers out to work for you without telling me. Am I just air in your eyes?"
Angdu glanced down at Neo's round belly and said seriously: "Do you know that this explosion is actually related to the devil?"
"Evil, devil?" Neo looked horrified and lowered his voice and asked eagerly, "How can it be related to the devil?"
"If it was just to lie to you, don't you think it would be a bit ridiculous? I just found out. Think about it, a demonic incident occurred near York a week ago, and this explosion is likely to be a follow-up to that.
Thanks to 'you' who dispatched the police at the first time, there were no deaths."
After saying this, Leon paused and blinked at Neo. After seeing that Neo understood it, he continued: "And now this area has been blocked. With a blanket search, we can find it soon."
Relevant people, if you are asked by the higher-ups and you have caught the suspect, do you think the higher-ups will give you a promotion because of your ability to do things well?"
Neo was a little panicked when he heard this, "How come there are still people involved? They haven't been caught yet?"
Angdu choked for a moment and comforted him: "It's coming, it's coming, it's coming soon."
"Then you have to hurry up," Neo looked down at his watch, "I'll leave first if I have something else to do."
After speaking, Neo simply rectified the policemen present, then climbed into the carriage and disappeared at the end of the street in the blink of an eye.
His thoughts flew away with the sound of horse hooves. Angdu always felt that something was not right, so he found a policeman who was conducting a search, "Haven't you found it yet?"
"Not yet, but sooner or later he will be found," the policeman said, sweating profusely, but very optimistic. "The streets have all been closed. Unless that person really has wings, he will definitely not be able to escape the search."
Angdu thought it was quite interesting, "Do I have to grow wings to leave?"
"It's okay if you can swim, but there are fences and a treatment system to filter debris beside the city wall. People can't get through. If it's not a person, we won't be able to find it with our own strength."
Angdu looked at the tall building beside the city wall from a distance, suddenly turned his head and looked upstream, raised his legs and ran, but after running a few steps, he stopped, stood in the middle of the road and thought, then turned around and headed towards Lims Bridge.
Run in the direction.

Walking out of Green Mangluo Street, Gratchi took Martin to the port in the northeast.
"Brother Grachi, can I not go?"
"Then you stay on your own and take on all the tasks of finding the address and finding materials?"
"That's fine," Martin gritted his teeth. "It's not that I'm afraid of putting in the effort, but I really can't stand the fishy smell at the port. In comparison, I'd rather stay with my socks."
As he was talking, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and a dark thing came face to face.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Hit him in the face.
"Let you talk more," said Gratchi.
Martin frowned and took the thing off his face. He found it felt strange in his hand and asked in surprise, "What is this? A piece of parchment?"
He held the parchment in his hand and looked at it over and over again, showing a puzzled expression.
Glaci glanced at it and accidentally discovered the complex and mysterious pictures and texts recorded on the parchment. He was surprised and snatched it away.
Martin observed carefully on the side and noticed that Gratchi's expression changed drastically, from shock to ecstasy, and then trembled slightly because he was trying his best to endure.
"Brother Grachi..."
Before he finished speaking, Grach stuffed the parchment into his clothes, dragged him to a less crowded area on the street, raised his finger to his lips, and made a silent gesture.
Martin understood and followed Gratchi as he wandered through the streets until he reached a place where no one was around. Gratchi took out the parchment again after repeatedly confirming that no one was following him.
Martin took a look curiously. First he saw two twisted goat horns, and then there was a dark and empty skull with dark eye sockets. Although it was a picture, it gave people the feeling of being angry and sinister.
The illusion of laughter.
Martin couldn't help but shudder, took half a step back, and cast a questioning look at Gratchi.
"The correct guidance given to us by the messenger." Grachi tried hard to suppress his excitement, "It is a complete ritual drawing."
"Really? Then we don't have to go to the dock, right? The messenger's way of delivering messages is really strange." Martin also became happy.
"Yes, although it is a completely different ceremony than before, it is not incomplete." Glaci looked around, as if searching for the origin of the parchment, "but now we have a new problem."
Under Martin's curious gaze, Gratchi's throat moved and he said slowly: "A living sacrifice."
"Live sacrifice? Is it okay to use live fish? I'll go down to the next block and buy one."
"The living sacrifice I'm talking about...is a human being."
"It's best to be the type that has no identity and can disappear without being noticed by the surrounding people."
There seemed to be a gust of cold wind blowing by, and cold sweat dripped down Martin's back, and then the hairs stood on end.
"Brother Gratchi, what do you want?" Martin tried to figure out Gratchi's thoughts, "But every resident in the city has made a backup copy of their identity information at the police station, even the outsiders who come into the city. Let's go
Where can I find a target whose origin is unknown and who will not be noticed by the people around him even if he disappears?"
"This is the new issue we have to consider now. If it doesn't work, we can only leave York and go somewhere else."
Gratchi was thinking about his next move when he suddenly saw the wanted list posted on the wall in front of him. On it was a young man of unknown origin named Suge Aiosig.

Listening to the rushing sound of water from the Lims River outside the window, Cecia retracted her hand from the glass bottle.
You are not allowed to drink alcohol while working.
This is the rule Selin gave her.
Cecia knew that Selin seemed to be very talkative on the surface, but as the outer leader of the Sky Church in York and the president of the association, Selin actually had great power and correspondingly heavy responsibilities.
If everything goes well in normal times, now there is a dangerous existence that may be related to the devil. If you don't treat it carefully, the end will probably not be good.
Cecia couldn't help but think of Ondu, guessing that that frivolous guy was following the serious Selin, and he would probably be severely reprimanded soon.
Thinking of this, she became happy. When she was happy, she wanted to drink something. She licked her lips and involuntarily reached out to touch the bottle.
Suddenly, a series of sneezing sounds came from the direction of the stairs. Angdu rubbed his nose and went upstairs.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I touched a chair, sat down and sneezed loudly again.
"Someone must be scolding me behind my back." Angdu concluded.
Cecilia held back her laughter and asked, "Why are you back? Shouldn't you follow Brother Selin to check the place where the explosion occurred?"
"It's over there, it's related to the devil's ritual."
Cecia was stunned for a moment. She had actually thought that there was a very small chance that the explosion was related to Su Ge. Even if there was a one in ten thousand chance, it was a cover for Su Ge to enter the city, but she never thought that it would actually happen.
It's a demonic ritual.
"So..."
"So the situation is different. I came back here specifically just to ask you to help me make a prophecy."
"Don't do it."
"Why," Angdu said anxiously, "aren't you from the Church of Destiny? And now that things have become so serious, you just need to make a prophecy about danger. Even if your ability is low, it doesn't matter."
Cecia glanced at him sideways and did not argue with him, "Predicting the future is the tragedy of the wise."
"You don't look like a wise man either."
"Yes, so I am neither sad nor prophetic." Cecia subconsciously reached out to touch the glass bottle.
There was a crisp cracking sound, and when Cecia's fingers were still more than ten centimeters away from the glass bottle, the glass bottle suddenly cracked.
Angdu and Cecia were both stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and fell silent. They knew that in mysticism, this represented bad luck.
The next moment, the corners of Angdu's clothes flew away, and with a bang and the sound of running downstairs, Cecia was left alone, watching the wine in the bottle slowly flow out from the cracks.

Selin looked at Naia, who was less than his waist height, and his eyes moved downwards, finally landing on a storybook.
"Is this the book?"
"Yes, my father bought it for me when he went out for a long time."
"Can you lend it to me? I won't take it with you. I'll just read it here."
"sure."
Naiya invited Selin into the house, went to the living room, and then like a competent little master, went to the kitchen to make a cup of fragrant Earl Gray tea.
"Please have tea."
"Thank you."
While Naija went to the kitchen, Selin had actually flipped through the storybook and found the story Naija told at the city gate. The content was exactly the same as what Naija told, and even the name was exactly the same.
The story tells a story about human beings defeating demons by relying on wisdom. Although the appearance of "demon" in a story is a bit awkward, it makes sense.
Is it really just a coincidence... Selin closed the storybook and moved his eyes to the little girl opposite, who sat on the sofa with her feet barely able to reach the floor. He looked up and down. He had to say that the little girl was very good-looking.
There is also a cuteness that pretends to be mature.
"Don't go out casually recently, especially at night. The best thing is to contact your parents and ask them to come back as soon as possible." Selin stood up and left.
Naiya nodded and stood up to take Selin to the door, "Is there any danger?"
"It's nothing, remember to close the door at night."
As the door slammed shut, Naiya leaned against the door and glanced around the house with a smile on her face, "Come out, big brother."
??????
Walking down the steps, Selin walked across the small lawn in front of the house while thinking. After leaving the gate, he turned to the side path and saw Ondu running towards him.
"What happened?" Selin asked, but then he saw a puddle of water, crossed the path, and disappeared in front of Naiya's lawn.
Angdu gasped, and his eyes followed Selin to the quiet white double-story flat-roof building next to him, and he realized that something seemed wrong.
