Chapter 9: The Carnival of Delinquent Teenagers
After completing his investigation, Yu decisively returned to the Support Section and contacted Lloyd.
"Hey, Lloyd? It's done on my end. What about your side? β
"It didn't go well. There was an arson in the hospital. β
"Longitudinal ...... Arson......"
"No, it shouldn't be arson. Sorry, Yu, it will take some time on my end. β
"It doesn't matter. Then I'll take care of the rest of the commissions. β
"Well, then, you go back to the department building first. We will go back soon. β
"Understood."
After turning off the communication, You sat down in his chair with some weakness.
My goddess of emptiness...... I've forgotten Lloyd's seriousness.
I could only persuade him to give up.
You Qian was extremely bored and opened the terminal of the support department, and began to check the tasks, which were all trivial tasks, and there was nothing particularly noteworthy.
It's one thing to be busy at the time of the celebration, it's another thing to be busy. The mission here is rare and gives You a feeling that he is still a guerrilla. Thinking about it this way, the experience of looking for cats in the city of Liber is still vivid.
After a short time, Lloyd led the tired crowd back to the Support Section.
Although Yu prepared desserts to replenish energy in advance, everyone was still not in good spirits.
"Yes, are you that tired?"
You are a little embarrassed.
If it's just a mechanism that you made, it should be easy to spot, right?
"It's annoying......"
Randy slumped on the table, his head in his hands, and he looked like an overripe orange in his orange coat.
"What's wrong?"
"We first found the missing professor at the fishing grounds, and it was just an ordinary skipping class. However, when we returned to the hospital, we found that someone had deliberately set fire to the hospital. β
Lloyd's addition made You's heart chuckle.
However, Lloyd, who was preoccupied with reasoning, did not notice the subtle change in the look in his companion's eyes.
I saw him take off his coat, wear a beige stand-up collar shirt, support his nose with his hands, and look like a high-ranking person thinking silently.
"The fire started in the bathroom, and it seems that a simple fire start device was made of lime and water. Judging from the fact that the fire did not spread, the perpetrators should have used the fire signal to create chaos and then take the opportunity to invade the medical university. β
"And then! Our conscientious and responsible captain not only let us search the hospital inside and out, but also didn't let go of the information! β
Buried in his clothes, Randy makes a dull voice with a very unpleasant feeling.
Ah, that's really ...... It's so pleasant.
Pleasant feelings unexpectedly rose in Yu's heart. As for his own pleasure, which can almost be called a bad taste, even he himself, a killer without normal values, can easily detect that he is abnormal.
"That's necessary. The other party's purpose should be the information of the medical university, and he took advantage of the panic of the fire alarm to take the opportunity to steal the information. It's a pity that there is too much information. β
Lloyd was also a little depressed, and uncontrollable worry appeared on his face.
"Woo...... I don't want to see books anymore......"
Ellie covered her eyes with her hands, unable to see her expression, and Noelle looked burned out, and her expression was very gloomy. He Xu was not even in the mood to eat the pudding, and Tio's eyes were straight.
"However, we searched through all the materials and found nothing missing...... What do you think the other party's goal might be? β
Lloyd threw the question to the person in the room who had the most say in crime. Before You could speak, Randy cast his hot gaze first: "Speak quickly, I must make that guy pay!" β
After Randy, even the gentle Ellie whispered resentfully, "Force him to read the entire Chronology of Crossbell, plus the entire volume of Puppet Knight, Obsidian, and Black Market Doctor Glenn......"
Theo nodded, Ellie's proposed punishment without corporal punishment was very much in line with her thoughts. So she silently added: "I also want to add the basic theory of conductive engineering." β
"Then do push-ups while studying, until you finish reading."
With a look of hatred, Noelle proposed a plan that would kill people, but no one objected.
Well, I think sometimes it's better not to tell the truth.
You swore in her heart that she would bring this secret into the coffin.
"I don't know. But when it comes to hospitals, it's probably a prescription or a case. If I'm going to assassinate someone, I'll investigate his case first. You might be able to catch a clue to the details. Just memorize the information you need, and in general, no one will take it out. β
casually made up a lie to fool them, and You hinted to himself in his heart: I was right, it just had nothing to do with what they asked.
If you think you're lying, your body will subconsciously cover up the details. So, the real liar will be convinced of his lies.
Seeing that there was no useful information, Lloyd could only sigh and asked, "Then, this is the same as the ...... of devouring the body."
Before he could speak, he swallowed himself back into his stomach.
Because his communication rang.
"Hey, Officer Lloyd?!"
Turning on the com, Fran's hurried voice came out.
"It's me, what's wrong?"
Hearing her urgency, Lloyd subconsciously stood up.
"There's a disturbance in the Harbour Area! The situation is almost out of control! β
"I see!"
ββββββββββββββββββ
In the small square of the harbor area, the temporary stage used for the concert yesterday has been dismantled, and people in red and blue costumes have gathered in a large circle in the vacant area.
There were about twenty people, red and blue clothes, and everyone was still standing quite organized, without a swarm of swarms. In the middle of the crowd, two people are fighting alone.
Needless to say, this kind of distinctive costume can be seen by anyone, and this is another conflict between the two bad organizations in the old city, the [Sword and Snake Gang] and the [Holy Book Society]. I guess I was carried away by the fiery atmosphere of the festival. Both sides are young and vigorous teenagers, and it is not incomprehensible that they are overly excited at the celebration.
And outside of this group, the leaders of both sides were also there.
Waji was still wearing the blue and white robe, which looked very religious. Valudo was still wearing the off-the-shoulder jacket, with gleaming nails.
The two sat side by side, with a sinister aura on their bodies, and everyone seemed to be able to see the sparks bursting out between the two.
Is...... You don't even have to think about it to know what's going on......
"I said you ......"
"I said you, this will cause trouble for the others!"
Lloyd's words were not finished yet, and in the other direction, the crisp female voice had already finished speaking!
An orange martial arts uniform, a sunny and cheerful girl with a long ponytail intervened in the illegal assembly of the delinquent teenagers!
Beside her, the boy with short black hair and a pair of knives pinned to his waist followed steadily, vaguely revealing the smell of a prince.
"Really, we rushed over as soon as we were notified, and there were quite a few of themβyou are the Sword and Serpent Gang and the Holy Book Society in the Old City, right? Please stop the brawl and disperse immediately. β
Before everyone could react, the girl with the double ponytail had already warned them solemnly.
However, no one was going to listen to her.
Although the two men who fought stopped fighting, their blood had not subsided. Probably, it will evolve into a new brawl.
The person who came was none other than You's juniors, Estelle Bright and Joshua Bright.
They were so focused on solving the incident that they didn't realize that they were nearby.
But this feeling ...... I always feel like I've seen it somewhere.
With this in mind, everyone in the support section couldn't help but look at their captain.
What do you mean where have you seen it? Isn't this our captain!
Long before the Support Section was formally established, Lloyd had been involved in the battle between the Serpents and the Holy Book Society. It's like an arrow. Noticing the strange stares of his teammates, Lloyd was a little puzzled, but didn't say much. Now is not the time to talk more nonsense.
Estelle was right. But right too much.
It's like if you tell an alcoholic please don't drink anymore, drinking is bad for your health. Although your point of view is absolutely correct, but the drunkard will never accept it, it is good to be able to laugh and perfunctory, and if you encounter a bad temper, I am afraid you will have to do it.
Vaji and Varudo correspond to the two personalities mentioned earlier.
