Selin sat at the end of the long table, holding an unlit pipe in one hand, lowering his head in thought.
Cecia sat on his left hand side, holding an ancient book with a cowhide cover in her hand, looking up something carefully, and occasionally glaring at Angdu who was doing nothing, but the other party ignored her.
A sound of heavy footsteps came from the first floor. Gary, the subordinate that Serling sent out earlier, quickly went upstairs with a tall, dark-skinned man. After sitting down at the table, they each drank a large glass.
water.
"Any progress?" Selling asked.
"No, that's a really powerful guy. The police station used almost all the available people, but no trace of that guy was found at all. He must not be an ordinary guy, and at least he has gone through a certain degree of training." Gary
Breathing loudly, "And I think part of the reason why he has not been caught until now is because his accomplices in the city helped hide his identity or helped interfere with our search."
"If there are accomplices to help, the difficulty of the search will skyrocket. Moreover, those who performed the demonic rituals on Green Manluo Street have no clues. It has been a whole day, and we don't even know their plans. This
That's the most serious problem. Where's Betro?" Selin looked at the burly man.
"No, and there's also bad news."
"What bad news?" Angdu sat upright and asked.
"In the evening, most of the manpower in the lower block was taken back by Neo, leaving only a similar number of security guards as usual, guarding various major intersections."
Cecia frowned directly, as if she was very confused by what Neo, the police chief, did.
"In fact, it is a reasonable deployment. The dispersed manpower cannot conduct command immediately, and the search throughout the day has no results. The efficiency at night will be even lower and almost useless. It is better to go back to rest. This method seems
Silly, he is actually prepared for a protracted war, strictly speaking, it is not bad news." Angdu explained.
Angdu turned around and asked: "It's just that this idea is not like Neo's style. Is it the advice given by the people around him?"
"I don't know. I just heard that after he came back from Golden Gallen Street, he immediately called all the people back. I don't know what happened." Betro's voice was low, with almost no unnecessary movements, and he shook his head evenly.
Very slightly.
"That's it..."
The room became quiet again, and several people looked at each other.
"Wait a minute!" Angdu suddenly stood up, "Where do you think he came back from?"
"Golden Gallon Street."
"Why did he suddenly go to Kinggallon Street?"
Betro shook his head, "I don't know."
"What was your reaction when you came back?"
"I don't know the details, but it seems that I was frightened. The people below said that when Neo came back, he was mumbling something in his mouth, which was not clear, and he looked very cold." Betro said honestly.
Really replied.
Angdu and Selin looked into each other's eyes and understood what the other was thinking.
"Let's go," Selin said to several other people, "Ondu and Betro will follow me, Gary will go to Leinu Church to see if he can find reinforcements, and Cecia will..."
"I follow you too. The Destiny Church has not yet played a combat role in the churches here in York."
Selin nodded and looked around, "Remember, we are the purifiers of the church. No matter what happens, ordinary people cannot be harmed."

Su Ge gradually woke up from his dazed state. He subconsciously wanted to open his eyes, but resisted and moved slightly. He found that his hands and feet were tied, and the wound on his wrist still hurt.
Where?
Su Ge closed his eyes and used other organs of his body to feel the surrounding environment.
First, his ears heard the faint sound of running water and the creaking of wood, with a certain rhythm. The sound was not loud, but very clear. Then he twitched his nose slightly and smelled a plant mixed with earthy smell.
aroma.
The taste is very familiar...Su Ge discovered it since
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I am no stranger to this smell.
After thinking about it, he still opened his eyes, but only squinted his eyes a little. In this case, people who didn't look carefully would think that he was still unconscious.
A waterwheel with a height of three or four people was turning in the darkness. The blue-white moonlight illuminated the lower part of the waterwheel. The water taken from the Lims River was cut into sections and then sent to the water tank.
This is... the waterwheel shop, next to the East Street Market in the Lower Block, the waterwheel shop used to wash vegetables?
After spending almost half a day in the city dealing with the soldiers, he was now very familiar with the layout of the lower block. By considering the environmental factors, he could easily analyze the current location.
But how did I get here? I was clearly still on the block when I fainted... No, I was strangled, on Golden Gallon Street not far from Naiya's house...
Someone wants to arrest me?
But there should be many soldiers guarding all important roads now. Although I am not strong, it is almost impossible to take a person through all the layers of inspection... Who is he...
When he was thinking about this problem, a voice suddenly came over, "Now that you've woken up, don't make meaningless disguises."
Su Ge thought about it, opened his eyes calmly, and looked in the direction where the sound came from. He saw a man wearing half a goat mask slowly walking over, and from under the mask, half of his face without obvious features was revealed.
Su Ge closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then opened them again, "Are you not from the police?"
The man didn't say anything, but asked: "Did you bite your arm like this?"
Su Ge glanced at the wound on his wrist, and after a simple thought, he said expressionlessly: "Did you catch me? If so, it should have been bitten on you."
"You are not a member of the police, why did you arrest me? Do you want to exchange for a reward?"
"It seems that you are very aware of your situation. You can think whatever you want, but there shouldn't be much time left for you to think about it. It's just that the wound is a problem. I hope that the adult doesn't mind."
Just as the person hiding in the darkness was about to leave, suddenly another person wearing the same mask came out from the side, "Ge...brother, how about I go give him some medicine?"
A loud slap slapped the man on the head, "How many times have I warned you not to say my name to outsiders casually. Go get the medicine quickly."
After Martin left, Gratchi came to Sugar and walked around in silence.
After a while, Martin came back again, looked at Gratchi's expression, and after confirming again and again, went to apply pungent ointment to Suge's wound.
After some operations, Su Ge was even more confused.
What is the purpose of these two people?
If you are not a police officer, you don’t have to do this to get the bounty. If you are a police officer, then you should be in prison in York now, and why are you wearing a goat mask? Is there any special significance?
"Who are you?" Su Ge remembered what the man in front of him said just now, "Who is that adult?"
"You don't need to know, but I can tell you that you will soon return to the arms of that adult and offer devout service." Grachi took a deep breath and looked through the cracks in the roof. It seemed that the moon was not there yet.
Reaching the highest place, "It's really... finally reached this point."
"Actually, it's not too hard. There were a lot less soldiers on duty when we came back. We rode the carriage smoothly all the way. Not many people were even willing to spend some time to check the things on the carriage." Martin on the side.
He seems to have a cheerful personality and can't help but talk.
There are fewer people on duty? Why? It sounds like they are not from the same force as the police, but I hardly know anyone in York. Why on earth did they want to arrest me?
Talk a little more, talk a little more...Su Ge thought that the more he knew, the more he could find a way to escape.
"When you arrest me, do you know who I am?"
"Suge? Iosig, is that the name?" Martin said, "Besides, no matter who you are, you still have to be sacrificed to the devil.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
people."
Gratchi slapped Martin again, but didn't say much, because Martin was right, it didn't matter to them who Su Ge was, what they wanted was someone who would disappear without being discovered.
The two Glaci had a good plan, but Su Ge caught one detail.
Devil? They want to sacrifice me to the devil. Since I am called Lord Devil, I should be a follower of the devil. In this case...
As the information increased, an immature plan gradually took shape in Su Ge's mind. He didn't know whether it would succeed, but in order to survive, it was worth a try.
"Have you heard the rumors at the city gate?"
Gratchi and Martin looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what the rumor Su Ge was talking about.
When Su Ge saw the expressions of the two of them, half of the plan he had just thought of collapsed.
This... they don't know? How can I bring up the topic of demons if they don't know? It's too unconvincing to say it myself, right?
After thinking about it, Su Ge thought of another way.
"Then do you know about the explosion that happened on Green Manluo Street last night? It's just down the block."
Martin was about to open his mouth, but Gratchi covered his mouth and only made a sound of "Uh-huh".
"Go on," Gratchi said.
Su Ge observed the reactions of the two people and knew that he was right. The explosion last night could be seen by everyone in the city, and the city gates began to be strictly inspected, making it difficult to get in and out. The two people only had a small
He probably just came to York today, so he most likely knew about the explosion yesterday.
Thinking of this, Su Ge thought of the coincidence and decided to take a risk, so he thought about it and made up a convincing lie.
"So you know, right? Then let me continue to ask, yesterday's explosion was about demons, do you know?"
After finishing speaking, Su Ge stared closely at the faces of Gratchi and Martin, trying to find some expression changes that could reflect their emotions.
As he expected, both of them showed expressions of surprise, but there were also some things that Su Ge couldn't understand.
"Go on."
Su Ge saw that the two of them had begun to believe what he said, and he already had some confidence in his heart.
"Don't you think there might be some relationship between me and the adult you are talking about?"
Gratchi covered Martin's mouth first, smiled at Su Ge and said:
"I'm curious."

No. 7 Kinggallon Street, Upper York City.
Angdu gave Naiya instructions and just walked out of the gate. When he saw Selin waiting aside, he shook his head with a slight disappointment.
"There doesn't seem to be anything special about Neo. He probably came here after hearing Naiya's name somewhere."
"So you didn't find anything, right?"
Angdu nodded and walked back with Selin and others.
The gas lamps on both sides of the street were dimly lit, with a few unlit ones interspersed in and out along the road.
Angdu lowered his head, counting the stone slabs, and suddenly found a few drops of reddish-brown marks. He was stunned, and quickly took a few steps forward, and found new blood stains.
"Not long."
Angdu turned to look at Selin, who nodded.
"Catch up and take a look, maybe you can find something."
??????
Kinggallon Street was peaceful.
The house at No. 7 had a rare flat roof. At this moment, the glass door connecting to the roof platform was suddenly opened, and a little girl in red came out.
The little girl looked at the moon above her head, showed a slight smile, then clasped her hands together, lowered her head and said something.
I don't know when the moon in the sky was suddenly stained with a layer of reddish color, then gradually became richer, and finally turned into a deep red like blood, which looked shocking.
"Okay, let's get started."
The little girl in red clothes raised her head and smiled.
