6:45 p.m. in the southwestern part of the Tokubang Empire in the Northern Hemisphere (6 hours from Kyoto)

Surrounded by mountains, a dark forest and a narrow valley, the dense jungle is surrounded by Frankenstein, an ancient castle made of countless large and small stones, which has been damaged by countless years of wind and frost.

As the sun sets, 400 meters down the mountain, the boat cruises slowly down the beautiful Rhine, with ripples on the river's surface. Birds pass by, and after entering the mountains and forests, they disappear like fish into the sea.

In the deathly silence of the valley, there was a slight humming sound, as if a dark cloud was hanging low in the shadows of the trees. This 'dark cloud' is like a flying carpet fluttering in the breeze, slowly moving in some kind of strange wave.

When approaching Frankenstein Castle, it instantly disintegrates into countless tiny objects that are incomprehensible and difficult to see with the naked eye, and retreats into the tiny cracks in the castle wall.

The exterior looks solemn and gloomy, but the interior is not too dark.

In the center of the main hall of the castle hangs a large medieval-style circular chandelier, without candles, countless spherical objects that look like night pearls are stacked on five layers, emitting a light yellow light.

The brightness was not as bright as that of an incandescent lamp, but it was enough for the circle of people standing under the chandelier to see the sudden appearance of uninvited guests.

A total of 13 people stood in a circle, Qing Yishui was wearing a black robe and a huge hood, and he couldn't see his face at all, so he could only judge that he was very tall.

The robe was not the kind often worn by church priests, but was a heavy, tree-like bark soaked in tung oil. Styling aside, it's more like some kind of armor with a unique style.

One of the black-robed men said in thick German-style burger-accented English, "Mr. K, you're late." ”

The oriental man who suddenly appeared in the center of the circle surrounded by these 13 people tilted his head to look at the black-robed man who was talking, and smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth.

He smiled in a spicy Sichuanzhou English and said, "Lord August, you are really harsh. Is every adult in the doctrine of [order supreme] as every second counts like you?"

"The beautiful Rhine traps your eyes, but you don't know if the witch beasts in the valley are to Mr. K's liking. ”

As he spoke, the black-robed man named August reached out and pulled the huge hood to the back of his neck, revealing a head of silver-white hair.

"Alright, well," the man waved his hand as if impatiently, "Lord August, I admit that I was late, and you can deduct a 1% commission for it." ”

August's old face never showed a trace of expression, just quietly looking at the slender Oriental man in front of him, who was as pale as Count Dracula.

"2%, that's the limit I can afford, if you want to sit on the ground and raise the price because of such a small thing, then, sorry, you can only ask for another skill. ”

August ignored him, and with a slight wave of his hand, something the size of a grain of rice, like a glass shard, floated out of his hand.

The Oriental man, whom Auguste called 'Mr. K', stretched out his right hand to catch the faintly silvery 'glass slag'.

"Find someone, in the East. Take that person to the Polar [Order Supreme] HQ and you'll get paid in full. ”

With a long tail note, K asked lazily, "Dead or alive?" or half-dead?"

"Mr. K, if you have what it takes to kill that, feel free. ”

Hearing this, K seemed to be interested, "Lord August, you don't know how big the East is. ”

"Mr. K, you don't know that this is a [Sensing Stone]. ”

"Well, since you've approached us, you should know the prerequisites for us to accept the offer. So..."

August beckoned, and a black-robed man showed a brown spar in his hand. Polygonal, angular, and only the size of a palm.

K raised an eyebrow and nodded after seeing the hedrome, "And then?"

"Two months ago, Lord Bishop sensed the aura of the Abyss Lord. After many prophecy ceremonies, the Bishop saw a terrible future.

The Abyss Lord will break through the spatial barriers, attract the Abyss Legions, and summon ancient beasts to crush the entire planet in 5 years.

In short, it is a demon that will bring unimaginable disasters and a destroyer that no one can resist.

Luckily, the demon has just been revived and has not yet regained its energy. Therefore, the demon must be found and destroyed before it fully awakens.

This [Induction Stone] has the remnants of primordial energy from the Demon Lord of the Ancient Devouring Abyss, and it will alert you when you leave the human who has been revived by the demon as a bearer.

Forgive me for being blunt, though, Mr. K. Although the demon is still only in its initial state, I am afraid that you and your companions alone will not be able to completely destroy its energy. But I believe you have the power to find out. After that, the bishop has his own arrangements.

When necessary, at any cost. [Order First] will provide you with all the supplies you need, and in case of loss or sacrifice, you will receive additional maximum compensation. ”

August said, and with a wave of his hand, the brown spar flew towards Mr. K.

K looked at the hedron in his hand and smiled at Auguste, "As you wish." ”

In the middle of the 13 pairs of eyes, the Oriental man codenamed Mr. K disappeared as abruptly as he had been.

The black-robed man who had originally shown the brown spar lowered his head and asked respectfully, "Lord Ogu, does this Mr. K really have the ability to arrest the other party?"

Auguste's ravine-faced face was still expressionless, he looked at the castle gate behind him, and said, "Do you think I'll find a fool or a clown to do such an important thing?"

With that, with a wave of his right arm, August heard several small insects on the castle gate, which were originally invisible and invisible to the naked eye, seemed to be covered by a layer of power grid, unable to move, and kept making a slight popping sound.

The black-robed man named Frank looked up suddenly, lifted his hood, and turned his head to look at a 'K' letter expelled from the door with a dense mass of insects, and his face was shocked.

"Yuan-level insect master, the one just now is just a clone he created with [Mimic Cryptopteran]. And he himself should be on the Rhine now, watching the beautiful sunset. ”

August waved his hand again, and the invisible power grid on the gate tightened, blasting all the bugs to pieces.

He took a deep breath and said to the rest of the black-robed people, "Who cares if they can catch that person. These outlaws, blinded by money, are just a tool no matter how high they are. Get ready, and it won't be long before we can enjoy the beauty of the Land of Eastern Witches. ”

"Yes, Lord August. The black-robed men saluted with their hands staggered on their shoulders.

"The stealth witch beasts in the valley for early warning have been eaten away by these insatiable oriental bugs. Frank, Ilona, go rearrange a batch. ”

"Yes, sir!"

…………

The Rhine, on a pleasure boat.

Mr. K, slender and pale, dressed in an ill-fitting and somewhat scruffy-looking suit, leaned on the side of the boat and talked on the phone while eating a hamburger.

"Z, this [Order First] is really fucking weird, I've never heard of a group of god stick organizations, how did they find us?"

"What task?" said an indifferent male voice on the other end of the phone, without any emotion.

"You don't know how to care about me first, but I made an appointment with the great beauty Elaine, and rushed to the northern hemisphere alone. ”

"Hmm. ”

K chewed on the burger and scolded in dissatisfaction with Z's disregard for himself.

There were many tourists on board, but there was no Asian face, so he unscrupulously spoke about the mission in Mandarin.

"Save the planet and eradicate demons. I thought your ambitions were big enough, but I didn't expect there to be anything more unreliable than you.

The gloomy castle with a group of black-robed people, and the old man August, said it as if it were true, and I almost believed the innocence.

However, the shot was amazing, and the deposit was directly given to a source energy level energy crystal, I said Z, this can't be a cult!"

"[Order—supremacist] is one of the oldest teachings of the lineage.

It is said that they have in their hands the fragments of the Pillar of Source Energy in the Land of the Ancient Witch God.

For thousands of years, he has been abiding by the nine commandments of Wu Zu, and taking keeping rank as his eternal responsibility. Its members are not many, but their strength is extraordinary. ”

K frowned, "How do you know this? If you don't tell me beforehand, you're not afraid that I'll be calculated." ”

"Just got the news. And, what do you have to be calculated?"

K……

The male voice on the other end of the phone continued: "The order-abiding bishop is the only [prophet] of the transcendent class in the world. ”

K put away a cynical look and narrowed his eyes slightly, "If what August said is true, shouldn't he notify the wizarding federations of various countries as soon as he predicts such a terrifying news?"

Prophets' abilities are extremely rare, and their time to foresee the future is limited.

Moreover, it is necessary to spend a lot of time, energy, and energy to set up totem formations to connect with future time and space, and purposefully perceive someone or a certain place.

"If the Bishop did foresee a terrible future. It is certain, then, that he must have calculated the possibility of preventing or modifying the future. ”

"So, August will find us because of fate?!" K's face was incredulous.

"No, it's probability. The power of a prophet is not just to see the future. Since [Order Supreme] is using us as an introduction to revise the direction of the future, we might as well take a look at it first. ”

K seemed to suddenly understand, "Aha, what August said about the East, in fact, Huaguo!"

"In a week, I will go to Istanbul and ask Master Garna to make a few sets of magic suits. ”

"Oooh, you've dug up something good in Booty Bay?!"

"Grade 9 net alloy, plus, end a [piercing] hive. ”

K asked a little excitedly, "Are the eggs intact?"

"Intact and alive. Inform Locke, Ivan, and Chaolu and Chaoyang, and see you in Istanbul in a week. A month later, he returned to China. ”

The phone hung up, and K was pleasantly surprised by the [stinging] eggs he was about to go. However, he quickly calmed down.

Back to China?

Z never takes on tasks in China, is it related to the things that Z has been looking for for many years?!

It seems that Z dug up not only net alloys and worm nests in Treasure Bay, but also important clues related to those things.

A few events seem to be unrelated, but K intuitively feels that there seems to be a hidden thread in them, connecting everything together.

What kind of mysterious organization is this sect that seems to be too old and ancient to fit in with the present world?

Of course, he didn't really think that the other party was a cult, and it was not easy for the old man August, who could see through his insect clone and a demon with a bit of a second disease.

Moreover, the old man didn't care at all that he used his clone to connect with them. It's just a little bit of a nod with the words 'the beautiful Rhine traps your eyes'.

It's just a pity that the [mimic cryptoptera] used to eavesdropping.

Suddenly, K frowned.

He put the cold half of the burger in his hand into the trash, scratched his ears and sniffed, and sneezed.

When the boat docked, he crowded among the tourists and disembarked.

After going ashore, K walked through the streets and alleys, taking selfies with his mobile phone from time to time along the way, admiring the scenery of the city called Darmstadt.

When he reached the door of an old-fashioned bar with a closed door, he turned and entered a deep alley next to the bar.

It's a narrow cul-de-sac, with large garbage bins in the corners on either side, emitting a strong smell of alcohol and food.

K stopped before he walked to a high red brick wall at the bottom of the alley and suddenly said, "Hey, buddy. ”

A tall man suddenly appeared in the alley where K was alone, and he stared vigilantly at K with his back to him.

"When did you keep up with me? ”

With that, K turned to look at the man and said, "August? No, you're not a man of order. The old man is not so stupid as to send you to stalk. ”

"Mr. K, the German Federation please. ”

K shook his head and laughed. laughed silently, but laughed so that his shoulders shook exaggeratedly.

As a notorious A-class wanted criminal, K only felt a little tired.

Actually, in the beginning, I just killed a guy who was ugly but flirted with a beautiful woman. Why? How did I get to this point, alas? ”

The tall man looked at K with a serious face, and K babbled, "You know what? You must know that you should be the chief inspector of the venerable German Federation."

Then you must understand the wonderful feeling of eating a maggot that is extremely thick.

One bite, plump and juicy, oh. I kind of can't wait. ”

"Mr. K, please don't resist. As the tall man spoke, a gust of wind blew from the mouth of the alley behind him.

Five members of the inspection department of the German Federation of German Federations in dark blue uniforms arrived at the scene, and at the same time, a power grid fell from the top of K's head.

And even faster, no one could see K's movements, and he disappeared in place.

Then everyone heard a voice behind them.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, go up the mountain to fight tigers, ah, one more. Give one more as a gift. ”

When the 6 Debang inspectors were about to rush towards K, they found that they couldn't move at all, couldn't even perform witchcraft, and their tongues were numb and unable to speak.

All of them had a black substance on their calves, and if you look closely, you can see that they are a thick, dense layer of bugs.

"Eat, eat, you greedy little things. ”

There was a small chewing sound in the deep alley.

The six Debang inspectors were quickly eaten away by these terrible insects since their calves, and one by one those who lost their legs fell to the ground, terrified but did not feel any pain.

Within a quarter of an hour, six living people would disappear from this world.

Not to mention the broken corpses at the scene, there was not even flesh and blood left, and there was no residue left after being eaten.

"The food of Debang people is good, tsk, they all said that it was fat and juicy, and they still don't believe it. Hmm, thunder, that's good. Not only is the flesh and blood nutritious, but even the energy is also of the highest quality. Haha..."

K beckoned, and the horrible, tiny bugs slipped back into his wide, ill-fitting suit. As he babbled, he left the deep alley where six lives had just been buried......
