Chapter 76: Night Detective (1)
Sure enough, she was still suitable for living in a natural environment full of grass and trees, and her body had been trapped in this stiff and cold mechanical world for so long that she almost forgot her original appearance. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Standing on a high place, the field of vision is infinitely wide, although it is in the darkness where you can't see your fingers, but for the wandering butterflies who have long been accustomed to walking at night, this is not an obstacle at all.
It was easy for the butterfly to see the lights not far away, and the bright light illuminated the whole ornate castle and the large area around it as if it were daylight.
It seems that the Duke of Gildy was so frightened that he kept his mansion completely away from the darkness with such fanfare. I don't know how much electricity is consumed by such a big project, and it is not worth a pity how many of these evil moths die.
Wandering Butterfly thought hatefully in her heart, and thought of the super killer she might encounter tonight, even if there was no order from the demon general, Wandering Butterfly thought about this mysterious person who could make the entire empire fall into a panic, who was he? To himself, is he an enemy or a friend?
Since the murder of Duke Resette, five more Imperial nobles were killed one after another on the next night, and in just one night, they were able to break into five well-guarded Imperial nobles' private residences so easily, and kill the Imperial dignitaries hiding in the mansions without them knowing......
That man was so arrogant that he literally regarded the Empire's vaunted security as waste!
Such a terrifying incident is tantamount to dropping an atomic bomb in the empire that has enjoyed peace for decades, which makes every imperial person panic all day long, and the nobles who originally had a good show mentality are also scared, and for a while, everyone in the empire is in danger.
The same modus operandi was to brutally break the neck vertebrae of the deceased and kill him directly.
It's no wonder that Duke Gildy was too scared to let his castle lights out, because the few people who had been killed so far were all Imperial nobles with the title of duke, and there was no doubt that as the only surviving duke of the Empire, he would be the next target of the murderer.
Presumably, this Duke of Gildy also knew that he would be the next target to be attacked, so he was so scared to death.
But will the killer show up tonight? Duke Gildy, who has been startled, must have prepared all the countermeasures and waited for the arrival of the killer, and people who are a little sensible will probably avoid the limelight tonight, and wait for Duke Gildy to relax before looking for a chance to do it.
Will he risk coming at all odds? Wandering Butterfly guessed, and then shook her head again, getting rid of all the nonsense that filled her mind, no matter what, it was best for her to wait and see what happened, and wait for the opportunity.
The butterfly jumped from branch to branch, only to hear the sound of the leaves "rustling", like a gust of wind blowing, and the slender figure in a black tights was in the leaves, and she could not catch her flashing at all.
It was not until he came to a large tree not far from the castle of Duke Gildy that the butterfly stood on her jumping body, leaning on the trunk of the tree and brushing away the dense leaves.
Looking at Duke Gildy's castle, I saw that on the lawn in the castle wall, a group of soldiers wearing light gray spotted military uniforms, armed with mad submachine guns, were patrolling vigilantly, and the number of those soldiers was definitely not less than 100 people.
There are Imperial soldiers protecting the Duke of Gildy?
Wandering Butterfly frowned slightly, what is the demon general doing? Since Duke Gildy is the object he wants to protect, why should he ask himself to never carry out any rescue operation against the duke?
Recalling the Demon General's commanding tone, Wandering Butterfly couldn't help but be angry.
And what else to say about helping the mysterious killer when necessary? But you have to catch the mysterious killer yourself? What kind of conspiracy is the wicked man hatching?
The more you think about it, the more questions you have.
Picking up the night vision binoculars hanging around his neck, and then looking at the courtyard below, his hands constantly adjusted the focus, narrowed the distance of the lens, and moved the camera to one of the soldiers in a light gray military uniform, scanning his whole body.
When he saw the serpentine badge on the man's shoulder, he muttered in a low voice, put down the telescope in front of his eyes, leaned against the trunk of the tree, and slowly sorted out the information he had obtained, and his chaotic thinking gradually became clear, although there were still many mysteries that could not be explained, but he finally found a clue.
The insignia on the shoulders of those soldiers in light gray uniforms was different from the falcon-shaped insignia of the Imperial Army, that is, they were not affiliated with the demon general's army at all, and they did not expect that the Empire would have two different army factions.
Is this army what the demon general is afraid of? In order to deal with them, he is even willing to take risks and use himself as an alien? It seems that these gray-uniformed soldiers under the eyes are probably not easy to deal with, so I don't know who this army belongs to?
Wandering Butterfly thought as she picked up the binoculars again to inspect them.
Their formations were obviously not as rigorous and orderly as those of the Imperial armies they had fought against, nor were they as good as the well-trained Imperial armies in terms of courage, but it was not difficult to guess their ferocious nature from their vicious faces and violent looks.
Wandering Butterfly was initially sure that these people should not be a regular army, and the time she had infiltrated the empire was not too short, and she had never heard of this special army that was not in the imperial army.
Faintly aware of the bloody storm that is about to be set off in the empire, will his own people become innocent implicated again? Like the Imperial War that nearly destroyed the Earth a hundred years ago, these hateful Rational militants ......
Wandering Butterfly gritted her teeth with hatred, but more than that, she was terrified, once the war spread, the deepest victims must be her own people, and the homes that her people had built with great difficulty, as well as those compatriots who were imprisoned in this evil city.
Fluttering's hand hung down weakly, and the telescope in her hand was released, and she fell back to her chest (because it was connected by a rope and hung around her neck, so it didn't fall directly under the tree), and her whole back was weakly leaning against the trunk behind her, the back of her head against the trunk, and she tilted her head back, allowing herself to be surrounded by darkness on all sides.
