After a while, the invited guests entered the venue one after another.

There were a total of eight people at this table, except for the four people who entered the venue first, the other four people Gu Yun didn't know, only one of the old men was a little familiar - the day he went to face the man in the trench coat, he seemed to have seen each other at the venue.

An Ling whispered to Gu Yun on the side that the people who could be assigned to the table with Eric Brando were all the best among the key officials in X City, and housemaids like her, who usually barely left the house, had seen these four people more than once on different occasions, they were frequent visitors on the news, and the financial resources in their hands often became a topic of discussion in various media.

Many of the guests present seemed to have a strong interest in the identities of Gu Yun and An Ling, not all the dignitaries were trapped at the airport at that time, so there were many people who saw Gu Yun for the first time, and as for An Ling, no one knew her details.

At the same time, the "dignitary" of a certain table took out his mobile phone and laid it flat on the table.

The mobile phone was facing Gu Yun's table, and all the images near the stage were filmed.

In the limelight, Eric Brando took center stage and stood behind the microphones set up.

Two security guards stood on both sides of the stage, one on the left and one on the right, and according to Shen Yue, these two were Eric's personal bodyguards hired at a high price, and they belonged to a very well-known security group.

In fact, since Gu Yun came to the banquet hall, the two of them have maintained the same expression and the same posture, and they are pestle there like statues.

"Good evening, everyone, the reason why I am standing here today is because President Shi of the Foundation invited me to be a guest here."

Eric cleared his throat and began his speech.

"According to the latest survey by Geert Pharmaceuticals, 9.4 million people worldwide die every year from cancer......"

………………

At the same time, his sonorous and infectious speech was clearly heard by another person.

Late at night, the playground was deserted.

A bonfire was lit not far in front of the haunted house, and a man with long hair sat by it, a conspicuous scar stretching from the left side of his face to the right side of his face.

The man looked to be about fifty years old, his hair had begun to turn gray, and his cell phone playing Eric Brando's speech was placed on the bench next to him, while he himself was intently scorching the silver dagger in his hand on the flickering flames.

A moment later, he pressed the silver-white blade against the black shadow trapped in the salt ring.

After a heart-rending scream, puffs of smoke rose from the surface of the black shadow, followed by a puff of burnt smell.

However, it was not the scorching heat that made the black shadow scream, but the silver dagger itself.

"Come on, let's put our thoughts together again."

The man spoke, "The catastrophe you're talking about is a monster that can revive urban weirdness?" ”

“…… I've already said it, and he's been eliminated. ”

"So, what about the mask killer from the other day?"

"I—I don't know!"

"Zila-"

The hot blade stabbed into the shadow's arm, and there was another scream.

"Hopefully, this will help you recall some of the details."

"I really don't know! …… As I said, it was a cleaner who put on that mask first, and then he beat away a bunch of thugs who came to make trouble, and I usually live here, and I've never been anywhere! ”

"I've heard this detail, so I'll tell you about other details, for example, if anyone else has come to you recently to ask about the Mask Killer."

"No, I don't know why the weird stuff stopped all of a sudden."

"It seems that you are telling the truth."

"It's true!"

"Well, I have one last question, and after that's answered, you're good to go—where is the home address of the cleaner you mentioned earlier?"

"I don't know...... They can't see me, and they won't tell me about these things. ”

"I'm disappointed, but a promise is a promise."

The man kicked the corner of the salt ring, and the moment the restraint disappeared, the black shadow sprang out, but before it could return to the haunted house, the silver dagger that chased after it sank into its body.

"Unfortunately, evil spirits are evil spirits, and no matter how much they do good deeds, they will not become human beings."

The man looked at the dark shadow that was fading into nothingness, and his eyes did not wave, and he sat back on the bench by the campfire, and continued to listen to the speech being held in the banquet hall.

There were many ways to find a cleaner's address, and there was no need for him to waste time with a Dream Eater.

He had learned most of the situation.

There was a major disaster in this city not long ago, and if it hadn't been stopped in time, it is very likely that City X would have disappeared from the country's territory, and without further investigation, he could have guessed that it must be one of the natural disasters that could cause this level of damage.

In this way, it makes sense that Eric Brando suddenly came to the city.

According to their investigation, after the catastrophe ended, other strange phenomena appeared in X City, which caused dozens of deaths.

For them, there is no priority for cleaning up hazards, and any strange phenomena that appear around them are the object of their hunting.

The speech on the other side also seems to be nearing its end.

"We have conquered cancer, but this is not the end of Geert Pharmaceuticals, leukemia, AIDS and many other incurable diseases that cannot be solved by current medicine are all within our range...... Our ultimate goal is to make it possible for all people to get rid of the disease! ”

"Not just all of you, but everyone, rich and poor, regardless of class, is the focus of Geert Pharmaceuticals, and our purpose is to make the future of this world a better place."

He was greeted with a round of applause.

The applause faded away, and the phone seemed to be taken away from the venue.

It wasn't until all the sounds died down that a male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Quentin, did you see the footage you just sent?"

"No, I've got something to do right now."

"That's a shame, there's a beautiful woman at the table with Eric Brando."

"We're on a mission right now."

"I know, I know, but if the real identity of that beauty is a witch, it's a different story, right?"

"Witch?"

Quentin was silent for a moment, then said, "I've heard that Marianne Thesia has been to the city for some purpose, so make your own decisions. But...... Eric is currently protected by the demon hunter forces in the city, so don't rush into war with them until you find out what they do. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a torch and walked towards the haunted house.
