The air was damp, no light could be seen in the blurred vision, and the foul smell of fish poured into the nose, making it disgusting to hear the sound of rushing water not far away.

The killer gasped in pain, trained but mortal at heart, the pain of the successive blows nearly tearing his will apart.

He was thumped to the ground, his vision slightly clearer, all around him was viscous darkness, with only a slight glow in the nearby corner.

The killer tried to move himself, but the previous fall broke his bones, not to mention the gunshot wounds on his body, and the blood loss caused him to lose all his strength.

"Wake up, you still have a chance to live. ”

Reaching out in the darkness to help him up, Erin crouched down, a short sharp dagger in her hand.

"Where's Ivar?"

Erin didn't talk nonsense and asked directly.

The killer looked at her, his mouth wide open and he could see that his mouth was covered with blood, and to prevent him from killing himself, Erin pulled out his teeth.

The killer smirked at the smell of blood, but then the smile twitched with pain.

The dagger stabbed into his arm, the wound was not deep, but in order to inflict more intense pain, Erin gently twisted her wrist.

The woman's face was expressionless, as if she had become accustomed to such cruelty.

Blood poured out of the killer's wounds, and his complexion was pale, as if the blood in his body was about to run out.

"Erin, you can't escape, you know the end of people like us. ”

The killer's voice was muffled, but still barely recognizable.

He looked at Erin as if he were looking at a dead person, a corpse that could still move.

"Gaspard won't let you go. ”

The killer kept his mouth shut, his face still smiling eerily, his eyes bulging, staring at Erin like something sinister.

Erin felt a little cold for a moment, and shivered uncontrollably, and then anger, and she repeatedly used the dagger to inflict pain on the killer, but he no longer made a sound, not even a wail of pain.

He was like a broken doll, his bloodshot eyes staring at Erin.

The torture didn't last long, and Erin knew full well that she was doing nothing but venting her anger.

She stood up, was silent for a long time, picked up a cigarette, and a faint fire rose in the darkness, and the burning light of the fire briefly brightened her face, and she looked a little tired and stared blankly.

"Forget it, I don't want to be like you. ”

Erin wiped the dagger and put it away, she wasn't a pervert, and killing others like this would not bring her pleasure.

She dragged the killer's body towards the light, and one last glance at the bloodied face, Erin snapped his neck and kicked the body into the ditch.

The water carried the killer's body into the dark depths, and Erin stripped off her clothes and walked out of the dark sewers.

Beneath the cleaner's clothes was the formal suit she had already put on, and she removed the cotton wool that had stuck to her clothes, and she finished her dress, strolling through the streets of Rendona as if nothing had happened.

After walking for some time, Erin stopped and looked at the sea not far away.

It's late at night, but the port city doesn't seem to sleep, with huge cruise ships and fishing boats running across it, lit up like stars on the ground, reflecting the colors on the sea.

Prosperity and beauty, or cruelty and darkness, none of this has anything to do with her, she is like an outsider walking alone in this strange land.

"Ivar ......"

The cigarette went out, and she lit another one, her eyes apprehensive.

......

In the living room, the people who had just finished their mission were seated, and Lorenzo was still slumped on the sofa as before, and beside him was a sluggish kestrel that was still mechanically knocking on the iron triangle and making a noise.

Eve sat in the chair on the other side, looking much more reliable than the two unscrupulous ones, while Haybold stood like a butler not far from the men, his eyes lowered as if he were preparing a speech.

"What are we going to do next?"

Unlike the two guys who were passive and slacking off, Eve was very concerned about the results of her internship.

"Proceed according to the normal plan, make a correction here for one day, and the day after tomorrow carry out the boarding of the ship to Gaulinaro...... Anyway, this time for Erin's action was just a temporary idea. ”

Haybold said that he was not surprised by the failure of the operation, and that if Erin was really so good at arresting, he would not have allowed her to escape the Vikings.

Lorenzo didn't say anything, he looked at the ceiling, thinking about the connection between the killer and Erin.

"Hybod, do you have any thoughts on the killers? According to my speculation, Erin actually deliberately leaked her whereabouts, she had already set a trap in the Blue Whale Hotel, and it was not us who was going to hunt, but the killers, and we were the spoilers who strayed into it. ”

Lorenzo analyzed.

"Is Erin still involved with any other organization?"

Faced with this question, Haybold fell silent, and after a moment's thought, he spoke.

"Iron Law Bureau. ”

It was an unfamiliar word, Lorenzo had never heard of it, and Eve looked puzzled, but at this moment, the decadent-looking Kestrel sat up in disbelief.

"What did you say?

Looks like this guy knows what the word means.

"Erin is affiliated with the Iron Law Bureau, and it is also thanks to her that Ivar was plundered by the Iron Law Bureau. If anything, it's them...... I remember mentioning this in the operational file. ”

Halfway through his words, Haybold felt that something was wrong, and he looked at his team members suspiciously...... Truth be told, when the Vikings' resolute faces showed puzzled expressions, Lorenzo really thought it was funny, like a bear staring at you.

But Lorenzo didn't dare to laugh, and he wasn't sure if the bear would eat him in a fit of rage.

"I'm just an intern, I don't have that much authority. ”

Eve spread her hands, and this was the truth, she didn't know the whole story of the operation until she set off. Kestrel has the same expression as her, this guy has been completely tricked.

As for Lorenzo, he smiled awkwardly,

"This ...... Is that so?"

Probably weak-hearted, Lorenzo stumbled to speak, his hand groping wildly on the couch, and he remembered that the file had been lost here.

God Odin is above.

Looking at Lorenzo's damn look, Haybed's eyes darkened.

He just thought that Lorenzo was a reliable guy, but now he was thinking about whether he had been deceived by the Purifier and Nordero, this guy looked outrageous no matter how he looked at it.

"The Iron Law Bureau, the intelligence agency of Gaulinaro, our counterpart is the scavenger, although the scavenger is subordinate to the purification agency, but with the control of the antimemetic power, coupled with the scavenger's own connection with the 'information', it has gradually become our intelligence agency in Invig in recent years, coupled with its own particularity as a 'backhand', it is gradually independent of the purification agency.

The two sides are fighting openly and secretly, and sometimes it is even necessary to dispatch the power of the purification mechanism, and I have taken on such a task urgently on the way to cut demons before, so I know more or less about it. ”

Kestrel explained to Lorenzo, but the more he spoke, the more his expression twisted, and he pounced on Lorenzo and grabbed Lorenzo by the collar.

"So how could we have anything to do with this thing!"

It was already painful to be tricked into working overtime, but when he worked half of the overtime, he suddenly found that he had to deal with a huge and tricky project, and the kestrel felt that his world was almost collapsing.

Why do you do it yourself?

But if you think about it, it seems that only you can bear this big responsibility.

Joey's fate is still unknown, but judging from the doctors' accounts, Kestrel is a colleague who is dead, and even if he doesn't die, he will become a walking corpse like many patients in the Black Mountain Hospital.

To be honest, Kestrel was sad for a while when he knew this, because of his work, he didn't have any friends outside of work, he was barely a hobby fishing, and because of the damn water of the Thames, he had never fished before...... Something alive, to be exact.

At work, because of these hateful demons, he often changes colleagues, and sometimes before he knows his face, his colleagues change again.

There is quite a kind of flowing colleague, the feeling of an iron kestrel beating, and even Blue Jade sometimes praises him, saying that he is not dead yet, and it is scary to be lucky.

But in the end...... Joey was the only friend he had.

As for the other colleagues, they all have their own work to do, and Kestrel is the only one on vacation at this critical moment.

So is it your own fault for taking a vacation?

Or did you behave too well in the Montenegrin hospital incident?

But at that time, it was because he was going to die, and Kestrel felt that he was dying anyway, so it was better to be a fierce man before he died, and cut it hard, but who would have thought that he actually survived, and it was only a minor injury.

All sorts of strange thoughts poured out, and it seemed that a dozen or so little kestrels, chirping and shouting in his own head.

Lorenzo once again recognized the complexity of human expressions, and did not know what was going on in front of him, but he could carefully observe the rapid change in the expression of the kestrels, from anger to sadness to confusion and a hint of a smirk.

The kestrel slowly let go of its hand and collapsed on the couch again.

Fortunately, he also knew that he was already on the thief ship, and he couldn't change the situation by saying anything, so what if he caught Lorenzo?

"So that Ivar was captured by the Iron Law Bureau, and we have to find a way to snatch people back from the Iron Law Bureau on the soil of Gaulnalo?" the kestrel said pessimistically.

"Is this Iron Law Bureau so terrifying?"

Lorenzo asked, somewhat puzzled, if the group of killers he had just fought were the Iron Law Bureau's troops, then they were too weak, and he didn't understand the kestrels' pessimism.

"That's just the periphery, a bunch of cannon fodder to use at will...... Maybe it's still an outsourced killer, but the one who is really capable and can be regarded as a full member is someone like Erin. ”

Recalling his previous actions, the kestrel spoke slowly.

"Although they are a group of mortals, you must know, Lorenzo, not everyone is a macho man like you, we are mortals too. ”

The eye swept over Eve, and Kestrel continued.

"You're half. ”

"Anyway, it's a very tricky organization, if it's fighting in Invig itself, we still have the advantage, pull out the original sin armor, they are not opponents no matter how many comes, but this time it's different, we have to infiltrate the enemy's base camp this time, and fight with these guys. ”

The kestrel lamented the fragility of humanity once again.

"You can understand that we are a group of Gaulinaro killers, ready to find a way to infiltrate the Platinum Palace and kill Queen Victoria under the guard of the Purifier! ”

He also made a gesture of cutting off his head as he spoke, and his expression was fierce.

Probably noticing the strange stares of the others, the kestrel added with a cough.

"I have a lot of respect for the Queen, just to describe. ”

"Is that so......"

Lorenzo thought about it again and finally came to a conclusion.

"That's why you're a burden!"

Looking at it this way, Lorenzo can completely push the macho man all the way from the sky, and maybe he can directly blow up the Iron Law Bureau, although the consequences of such a high-profile action will be very serious, and if you think about it badly, maybe it will become the fuse for the war between the two sides, and directly start the second glorious war.

The kestrel looked disdainful of this.

"Lorenzo, you are very strong, but sometimes there are many things that cannot be solved by force. ”

"For example?" asked Lorenzo rhetorically.

"For example......"

The kestrel was speechless for a moment.

Well, if you think about it, the detective in front of you is indeed outrageous, as if there is nothing he can't do, although he looks casual, but when faced with danger, this unreliable guy is the most reliable.

"But you're right, Kestrels, force doesn't solve everything. ”

Lorenzo suddenly reflected again, and he could not have imagined that this somewhat arrogant guy would actually reflect.

Indeed, if force could solve everything, the world would not be so complicated.

With Lorenzo's experience, he also knew that death would be near when he forgot his fears and his humility for the unknown.

"Well, at least we know who's going to meet next, and it looks like the plans are going to be reorganized, I think we're going to have to spend some time at sea, right? ”

Lorenzo's words were full of confidence.

"And then talk about it...... Next question. ”

Lorenzo looked at the few people in the room, and Lorenzo cared more about the matter in front of him than what he had said.

He asked.

"So we're going to sleep four of us in this room?"
