"What?"

Bundy was stunned, thinking he had misheard.

"Kerosene, explosives, artillery!"

Even if it was repeated again, and then, specific additions were given:

"30 barrels of kerosene! 100 explosives! 2-3 artillery pieces! ”

"If you could......

"The more of these, the better!"

Undoubtedly, this time Jason made a normal request, but Bundy was still stunned.

Even, a little overwhelmed.

"Are you ready to go to war?"

The sheriff was joking.

But Jason didn't smile at all.

Instead, he shook his head very seriously.

"It's harder and more dangerous than an ordinary war."

"Because ......"

"You don't know if what you have will be able to defend against what exists there."

Jason replied with a solemn face.

If he could, he really didn't want to touch anything related to the Moon Mask Club before he didn't have enough self-preservation.

But the change in the 'Moon Mask' made him have to pay attention there.

Even, go and take the initiative to solve the things there.

After all, his main quest had already changed to [Seven Days in Lorde], and now that it had only been three days, who could guarantee that in the remaining four days, the 'Moon Mask' would not have more terrifying mutations?

If it happens, he'll be defenseless.

Rather than wait until that time and sit back and wait.

It's better to ......

Take the initiative!

'Mystery' is the only way to deal with 'mystery'.

This naturally makes sense.

But when you can't cope with the 'mysterious' ability you have, you have to look for something else.

Dynamite!

Flame!

From Jason's contact with the 'mysterious side' to the present, he has been proving his effectiveness against the 'mysterious side'.

Then, he relied on explosives and gunpowder to make up for his shortcomings!

If you can't do one, you'll have ten!

Ten is not enough, only 100!

If a hundred pieces don't work......

So he went for a thousand!

As long as there are enough of them, they will definitely be able to produce qualitative changes!

Jason looked straight at Bundy.

Bundy stared into Jason's eyes with unprecedented seriousness.

The next moment-

Call!

He took a deep breath, pressed the brim of his hat, and said:

"Understood."

"Leave it to me."

With that, the sheriff jumped out of the carriage and ran in the direction of the police station.

Kerosene, explosives, to put it mildly, with his authority, if he does his best, there is a little hope that he can find it.

But the artillery ......

Don't say 2-3 doors, he can't get 1 door.

Because, in the entire city of Lord, there is only one place where artillery is kept: the barracks!

It's not something that ordinary people can enter.

Even if he had come from the military, and now he was the sheriff of Lorde, he was an ordinary person there.

but

Someone can!

His immediate boss!

Your Excellency, Director!

However, it is not a simple matter for the boss who wants to move him to use artillery.

For that, he had to think of a good rhetoric.

And, be prepared to be scolded.

Inexplicably, the sheriff who had hoped that Jason would be normal before had begun to miss Jason's cold humor at this moment.

He felt that Jason was more 'approachable' at that time.

Thinking in his heart, the sheriff walked faster and faster, and soon his back disappeared from Jason's field of vision.

Then, Jason closed his eyes and waited.

……

On the outskirts of Lorde, somewhere in the woods.

The man wearing a wide cloak and completely covering his face was walking calmly, surrounded by dense thorny bushes, as if the commoners had seen the nobles, they retreated, and after the man walked by, these thorny bushes were restored to their original state again.

"It was really an accident."

"It's not just me who got a good apprentice."

"Dan, are you too?"

The other man muttered to himself.

There was a very sincere joy in his voice.

It's like a blessing.

But the other party's face in the shadow did not smile at all.

The cold killing intent is twisting in some kind of stealthy and unique way.

The surrounding plants were affected by this killing intent, and the thorns and shrubs quickly withered and withered.

The other party lowered his head and looked at the withered thorns and bushes.

"Seedlings are seedlings after all."

"Don't experience wind and rain."

"How can it grow into a towering tree?"

As he spoke, the other party raised his hand and waved.

Suddenly, the thorns and bushes that had just withered and withered quickly came to life.

Then, like the thorns and bushes that had been before, they made way for the man.

Whistling briskly, the man walked slowly.

"Shhhh

"Dead Kurz, pitiful, pitiful, pitiful."

"Dead Karina, pathetic, pathetic, pathetic."

"But the night, the night, is coming."

"The black lamb danced."

"Hurry up and dance."

"Hurry up and dance."

The man walked farther and farther, his steps became more and more brisk, but the whistle and singing became more and more indistinct.

Eventually, it was gone.

……

It was only around midnight that Jason and his party arrived in front of the Moon Mask Club behind Kensing's Street.

None of them approached at Jason's beckon.

With nearly twice the average eyesight, Jason stood at the corner of the street and looked at the 'Moon Mask' in the distance by the moonlight.

The door that he had pushed open before closed again.

And the corpse of the gatekeeper who should have been covered with a white cloth has long since disappeared.

"We're not closing."

"The corpse was here before, and it disappeared with our people."

Hall said immediately, and then, pointing to the street entrance and about five meters in front of the club, continued: "I have set up two checkpoints here, here and there, two people per shift, three shifts, and I am in charge of the response. ”

"There was nothing unusual for the whole day."

"But when I returned, the four people who were supposed to stay behind and the two bodies at the door were gone."

"Not a trace of it."

The veteran detective clenched his fists as he spoke.

Those present understood what it meant to be missing in such a place.

A wave of sorrow poured into the hearts of these young police officers.

In particular, Finch's eyes were red as he looked at the Moon Mask club in the distance, he had a good relationship with two of them, because they were his roommates in 202.

Call!

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.

The autumn night breeze is already full of coolness.

But the chill in the gust of wind was bitterly cold.

Many people instinctively shuddered.

But what makes people tremble even more is -

Squeak!

In the distance, the doors of the 'Moon Mask' club opened.

The two doors open inwards slowly.

With a tooth-sore sound, the lights in the club became dazzling again, and the music sounded again.

In the hall, people danced and laughed softly.

And then......

Two figures stepped out of the dancing crowd.

"Kurtz!"

"Karina!"

When they saw the two figures, many people exclaimed, they looked stunned, smiled, walked out of the club hand in hand, and at the same time bent down to make an invitation, and the two people who made the invitation suddenly became overwhelmed.

"Jason?"

Bundy asked in a low voice.

Jason didn't speak, just turned his body sideways.

Crunchy.

Overwhelmed, two bronze cannons were slowly pushed over.

Two blasting shells were loaded into the breech.

The muzzle of the cannon slowly turned to the 'Moon Mask' club.

Jason's raised hand fell heavily—

"Fire!"
