Chapter 217: A Long-Premeditated Trap

So everyone lowered their heads to check their shadows, because James who was present was the most spiritual, so they quickly discovered Bert's hiding place, touched their heads and smiled:

"Chris, Bert, he's in your shadow. ”

"Ahh

As if to verify James's words, Chris's unconventional black shadow began to expand and break free on the ground, as if something inside wanted to jump out.

At the same time, Chris actually felt a subtle astringency in his limbs.

Could it be that the "Arcane Knights" are not only able to hide in the shadows of others, but also further control the activities of others?

Just after Chris had this conjecture, he saw the shadow on the ground gradually break free, and finally Bert's figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Bert, this ability is great. James patted Bert on the shoulder, smiling and complimenting.

One of them, Elton, also shouted:

"No wonder the 'Listener' path is called the weird ability, the closest to the darkness of the extraordinary way, I didn't expect to really have the ability to use shadows, it seems that our team will have more combat power in the future. ”

Bert, who has always been calm, couldn't help but smile at this time, clenched his fists, and finally, he also had the ability to fight.

The strange combat ability of the "Arcane Knight", coupled with the ritual magic used by the "Listener", it can be said that Bert's strength has risen a lot.

Chris also showed a pleased smile, Bert's efforts in the past few months he has seen in his eyes, in order to digest the "listener" potion as soon as possible, he experiments with various ritual magic alone in the bedroom or laboratory every night, and now he can become an extraordinary person in Sequence 8 at this age, even if he has a certain talent, but it is inseparable from hard work.

After seeing Bert's successful promotion to the "Arcane Knight" and the stable control of the potions in his body, everyone returned to their bedrooms, while Bert returned to his bedroom to continue to feel the new abilities and get familiar with and use them as soon as possible.

When Wayne and Bonnie returned the next day, Chris shared the news with them, and the little girl Bonnie excitedly ran to knock on Bert's bedroom.

Knock knock!

"Bert, Bert, open the door and show me your new abilities. ”

Bert opened the door to Bonnie without waking up, and then reluctantly demonstrated to Bonnie the various abilities he had mastered last night.

An hour later, in the Pruka police station, James threw a dossier in front of the crowd and said:

"This is a file submitted by the police this morning, saying that a serial murderer has recently appeared in several nearby streets, but every time the police arrive, they can only see the victim who has died of blood loss all over his body. ”

When they heard James's words, everyone was shocked, because they were all too familiar with this horrible and strange way of dying.

Seeing everyone's expressions, James said in a deep voice:

"You're right, I suspect that a member of the Gates of Hades is committing a crime with a seal, the Bloodthirsty Blade. So today Elton himself and Jeffrey and Bert, Chris and Paul went to the nearby streets to investigate clues. ”

In fact, James originally wanted to divide into two groups, but considering that there were three streets to search and guard, he let Elton go into a group by himself, after all, he had joined the "Punisher" second only to himself, and he had more experience in dealing with it.

So the captain sat at the police station, and the other three teams went to the nearby streets to find the suspect.

According to the dossier, the murderer would kill one person on the nearby street every day, so they had to catch each other as soon as possible, or another innocent person would be killed.

Near noon, with the extraordinary ability of the "investigator", Paul quickly found some hidden clues according to the time and place of the death of the previous victims, and finally at five o'clock in the afternoon, he and Chris came to a dilapidated wooden house.

And as Chris and Paul pushed the door in, a slightly hoarse voice rang out from the couch in the corner:

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, are you finally here? haha. ”

After hearing the voice, Chris had a warning of spiritual madness in his brain, and hurriedly pulled Paul back, wanting to leave the cabin in a hurry, but it seemed to be a little late, and behind them, there was already a powerful gray-black barrier, preventing the two from leaving.

I saw a strange black mist quickly attacking Chris and Paul, Chris hurriedly released his spirituality, and a red fireball attacked the black mist like bullets, but Paul beside him seemed to inhale a mouthful of black mist, and immediately fainted and fell into a coma.

"Who are you?" Chris scrambled in front of Paul, the violent wind blowing the black fog around him, and shouted loudly to the figure inside.

"Who am I? haha, I'm here to kill you, Chris Simon. The black shadow wrapped in black fog all over his body and couldn't see clearly said hoarsely.

Chris's heart sank, and then he thought about the serial murder case for a moment......

It seems that the locations of the crimes for several days are all in the streets under the jurisdiction of their fifth "punisher" squad, and I am afraid that this is a trap against them. Chris analyzed inwardly, and they also used the murder methods they were familiar with, which was like a trap that had been planned for a long time and carefully prepared!

I just don't know if the other party is targeting the entire "Punisher" squad, or just killing himself?

"Are you from the Gates of Hades?" asked Chris vigilantly, using blasts of wind and fire against the apparently poisonous black fog around him.

"Haha, you want to stall for time? It's useless, you're surrounded by my barrier, and your captain can't find you right now. The dark shadow gradually came out of the depths of the cabin, and to Chris's alarm, the other party was shrouded in a thick black mist.

Is this his extraordinary ability, or is he wearing some kind of magical item with strange abilities?" Chris guessed as he looked at the black mist around him.

Glancing at Paul, who was only in a coma behind him, his life was not in danger for the time being.

Chris sighed, sighing that he didn't even carry the "Awakening Charm" with him, while quickly running the spirituality of his whole body, thinking to himself, no, I don't know if there are any enemy accomplices around, and I must fight quickly!
