Lilia briefly checked the pistol hidden under her arm, tightened her coat, then pursed her lips and smiled, taking the lead in entering the door of the Independence Hall with elegant steps. She was already very tall, and she used to be in the student union.
Originally, she was only at the second level of Miss Anne Romanova. Once she showed this kind of sinister smile, she suddenly gained a bit of proud and independent coolness. I accidentally thought it was...
Supermodel travel.
If it weren't for the fact that the girl was followed by a dozen men in coats, menacing men with bad intentions at first glance, the staff at the memorial hall would have thought she was a celebrity invited by the director to do the event.
It wasn't until everyone had entered the hall that a staff member finally ran over as if waking up from a dream.
"You, you..."
One of the burly men in trench coats took out his ID and stopped him, saying in a low voice: "Authorized by the city government! The museum is closed today!"
The staff member looked at the other party's police officer ID and was a little confused. He looked at Lilia who was smiling, and then at another lady with silver hair and a cold and arrogant temperament who was following Lilia. What did he think about these two people?
They don't even look like police officers.
Lilia tapped the headset covered by her long hair, and then came the information from various departments.
"The demolition team is in place!"
"The sniper team is ready!"
"The attack team is in place!"
"The instrument responds normally!"
"The target is still in the room."
Lilia nodded, exchanged a look with Ms. Perlo next to her, and walked directly to the curator's office. Before opening the door, she winked at everyone. Everyone had drawn their guns, except for Ms. Perlo.
Still no response.
"I don't want you to be caught off guard." Lilia whispered.
Ms. Perrault snorted silently as if she was holding the opponent against her. She stretched out her hands under her coat. Each of them actually held a heavy police crutch, which had been modified in a crazy way, adding a pulse shocker and
The kind of gun barrel.
Lilia then opened the door with confidence.
The director of the Independence Memorial Hall, who has been serving here since its construction, the old man Beruf, who has a certain reputation in the cultural circles of New Seville and the entire Far Coast Sector, is sitting in his chair.
Behind the desk, he raised his head and showed a surprised expression, which then turned into obvious dissatisfaction.
In the eyes of others, this is an old scholar whose work was interrupted.
"Miss Alfonso, I haven't seen you for a while. Is your father still in good health?" He suppressed his dissatisfaction, turned into a warm and elegant smile, and nodded to Lilia.
As one of the local tyrants in New Seville... ah no, Lilia, the eldest daughter of a local celebrity family, would naturally know Beluff, a cultural celebrity.
"Ms. Jimenez..." The old man nodded slightly to the lady again.
"I don't know why you came here today? This is a church to commemorate the heroes of independence. No matter what, you should not come with guns and ammunition!" He showed a reserved and alienated smile, and there was something in his smile.
There is a clear sense of alienation and arrogance, showing the posture of an old scholar who does not submit to power.
Lilia said bluntly: "You have committed a crime and are now being charged with theft and illegal drug use. Please come back with us to assist in the investigation."
The old man Beruf was dumbfounded for a moment. Over the past few decades, he had envisioned this scene countless times, but he never expected that the other party would use such a charge.
Go ahead and lie to ghosts! Is this the battle to catch thieves and drug dealers?
"Please come back with us and assist in the investigation."
I have never heard that a vigilante group has the power to enforce the law. The old man Beruf was about to say this, but suddenly he recognized that several people who followed him into the house were policemen.
"This is slander, Miss Alfonso. I am also a decent person with status. Framing me with such a charge will only make you look disgraceful."
"Yes, it is precisely because a person of your status is involved in such a crime. For the sake of everyone's dignity, we must ask the question clearly!"
"I will call Chief Boca. I will also call your father. I hope you understand what you are doing." The old man stopped his smile and began to threaten.
Of course, a highly respected cultural celebrity like Mr. Beruf will know several very powerful figures in the political and business circles.
So far, all his reactions have been quite consistent with his character.
"Don't get excited. It's theft and drug safety anyway. We can only invite you for twelve hours at most." Lilia pondered for a moment, as if she had just thought of it, and quickly added: "In addition, the suffering master told me
He said that he lost an antique ring. It must have been dropped after you drugged him. I hope I will find it back."
Probably because the content of these words was so impactful, it took the old man Beruf several seconds to understand this scene, and the elegant and elegant scholar's demeanor just froze on his face. He groaned
Well, nothing could be said. At first glance, he looked like an old man who had difficulty breathing. This silence lasted for several seconds, and the air pressure in the room seemed to gradually decrease, and then it condensed into a breathless sound.
Trembling.
...This is a trap! The leader must be informed! This was the first reaction of the old man Beruf.
However, the machine that can directly communicate with Lumina is an encrypted communication device for military use. No matter how crazy he is, no matter how hard he plays under the light, he cannot put it here.
Must evacuate immediately!
But, from where?
The window behind you? No, if it were me, I would definitely put a fire net on the room opposite.
Then, there is only one way...a head-on breakthrough!
When he thought of this, the elderly Beruf did not feel any excitement, but he only felt extremely tortured.
This is not his active choice, but a forced choice. How can he be passionate about it?
However, he has no choice!
"Moo!" He let out the power of speech and spirit that humans could not summon at all, and a dazzling light like thunder flashed in the room.
However, before the light could completely condense into lethal and destructive energy, a huge roar erupted from the wall next to him. A long-range anti-material weapon sniper attack from a thousand meters away penetrated the walls of the memorial hall.
The wall hit Beruf's upper body.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been blasted into a large mass of flesh and blood from his torso to his head.
However, Beruf, who had already revealed his identity as a psyker, seemed to have been hit by an old punch on the chin, and his whole body fell backwards behind the edge of the table. Everyone could even see that at that moment, his facial features were filled with pain.
and the consternation and distortion caused by accident.
Considering that he has already lost all his strength, Mr. Belluff might even want to have his upper body broken with a cannon.
Before he could get up, Ms. Oluo rushed over with a giant rotating stick. The two rotating sticks made of alloy were thrown directly over, as if they had smashed through two impact hammers used to demolish the house.
.
As a result, the floor of Beruf's office was indeed torn down, and his whole body was smashed directly into the lower floor along with the cracked stone slabs, and he could not get up for a long time.
However, it should be said that he is indeed a psyker, and he is still alive.
Lilia's men rushed to the edge of the cave and fired a volley at Beruf below.
The Independence Memorial Hall in Nottingham University was immediately surrounded by screams, cries and the sounds of fleeing.
"Leader..." Beruf raised his hands in pain,
At this moment, no matter what is going to happen in New Seville, (by cosmic standards) the people on Lumina next door have no idea.
Naturally, the group of people inside the virtual ring of the Serlo Forest didn't even know.
Located on the basement level of the ancient city of Surro, on a large altar that looks like a square, a very classical soul-sacrifice ceremony is in the middle of the process.
All I saw was that the gloomy halo was like a fluorescent paintbrush, outlining complex lines on the ground, forming a magnificent and huge magic circle. Runes that could not be described in normal words were constantly surrounding the magic circle.
, changing with various different graphics and coats of arms.
Four objects that looked quite old at first glance were floating in the central ring of the giant magic circle, as if wrapped in invisible water waves, rising and falling in the halo.
They are a short sword, a seal, an orb, and a ring.
Judging from the aesthetic style alone, these objects must have come from the empire and are full of simple and exquisite palace style.
The human priests of the All Souls Religion and the Rumina people in classical attire surrounded the magic circle and loudly recited strange spiritual words with obscure pronunciation.
"Death to the scumbag! Death to the scumbag! Death to the NASDAQ! Death to the scumbag! Death to the scumbag! Death to the scumbag!"
Even though they are human beings, it is really difficult for the Rumina people to recite this kind of spell to their vocal cords.
The dark underground, complex magic circles, strange spells, and casters standing between the interlacing light and shadow, the sense of cult ritual really comes to mind. This style of painting really makes people speechless.
In such an era of "prosperous technology", almost everyone present has had experience in interstellar travel, but they didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it at all.
Flores Wanda, the leader of the All Souls Sect, who also didn't feel anything was wrong, did not stand in the center of the magic circle, but stood on a platform on the periphery, paying full attention to the operation of the magic circle.
His right-hand men and his "allies" didn't dare to express their anger. They occupied the ancient city of Thuluo, and they had been defending it for so long just for this day.
"There are still two hours." Someone whispered. This was young assistant A.
Leader Wanda nodded slightly. He seemed calm, but his right hand kept rubbing a small mirror in his hand.
"Don't worry, everything goes well." He told Yan Gong.
The latter finally managed to move his eyes away from the mirror and nodded.
One of the Lumina people who was presiding over the magic circle let out a painful groan and fell to death on the spot. He twitched twice and then stopped moving.
His actions seemed to trigger a chain reaction. The two All Souls Cultists standing beside him and another Lumina youth seemed to have been deprived of their souls by invisible forces and turned into corpses silently.
The magic circle seemed to sway a bit, and the light faded a lot.
Leader Wanda glanced at his elderly assistant B, who had already walked to the perimeter of the magic circle and made a gesture. Immediately afterwards, four more strong humans and Rumina people walked over.
In the magic circle, the empty space was filled.
Facing this strange ritual that threatened to take their lives, they did not hesitate at all, but everyone's face was filled with the enthusiasm of a martyr.
However, there was a slight commotion on the platform. Although the leaders of the Rumina rebels were mentally prepared and understood that it was not their turn to die, "big men" like them, they still felt chills running down their spines.
"This is a necessary condition for the God of the Sky to come! You must be able to do this."
Colmo looked at the other party, and a sneer flashed in his heart.
Since you are so pious? Then why don't you go in person?
He looked at the fanatical Rumina youths standing outside the circle, ready to rush in to take up their positions at any time, and felt sad.
They are all young people with strong physiques, strong blood, abundant vitality, and unlimited possibilities. They can all become the best warriors. They can even study and become scholars, businessmen, engineers, and technicians like me... But for this...
Such a stupid thing can lead to death? How foolish!
Babaru, you still don't understand! As long as that thing is still there, the Rumina people will never be able to go into battle lightly, and they will never have a future.
Colmo clenched his fists tightly, but then released them and said, "I'll leave for a moment."
This is different from what was promised! Yan Gong was slightly startled.
"You should see such an important scene until the end." He hid his expectant gaze in the shadows.
Kolmo explained: "...there is still half an hour before the magic circle is at its peak, but various large-scale mysterious phenomena have already occurred. No matter how incompetent the earth's army is, it will definitely ask for support from the occult at this time. Perhaps
Someone will find the clues and launch a strong attack. I have to go check and prepare."
What he said was reasonable and reasonable, and no matter how many opinions everyone had, it was really hard to say anything.
"I will be back within two hours." Colmo said with a smile: "I will not miss the scene of greatness coming."
Although Yan Gong was reluctant, he could only nod and watch the place leave. In the final analysis, he was not the absolute leader of the Rumina rebels, not even the leader of the loose alliance. At most, he could only work with a group of juniors.
He was just relying on his old age to show off his strength. Facing Kolmo, who was much younger than himself but no less powerful than himself, he really had no position to give orders.
"Our future, everything we have, has been staked on today's ceremony!" Yan Gong added.
"Don't worry. Mr. Yan, me too!" Kolmo's eyes also glanced at the mirror in Master Wanda's hand, and then turned and left.
