Chapter 117: The Time to Kill (Part II)
Mohun-Eternity: "When do we have to wait?" ”
Mohun-Xiaochao: "It can't be helped, the four high-ranking generals of the empire have been killed, and we haven't been able to find the murderer yet." Although our current strength is very close to that of the high-ranking who was killed, the strongest 'Havoc' general among us has been killed, and it will be a huge threat to us to disperse. ”
Mohun-YY: "With all three of us together, and a dozen royal guards outside, nothing should happen." ”
??? "This world doesn't need you!! ”
At the same time, the Demon Soul Emperor Capital was in the Dark Prison......
Max: "The gate was split open by a single sword, and it is very likely that the sword qi with strong power was used, otherwise even the sharpest sword would not be able to split the iron door, unless a heavy sword like a giant sword was used." ”
Izemo: "But the high-level of the empire uses ordinary broadswords, not to mention the high-level of the empire who use heavy swords, and there are no people in the entire Demon Soul Empire who even use big swords." ”
Hinter Cook: "The truth is getting closer, but so is the unsettling emotions. Why did the upper echelons of the Demon Empire rescue Vetani? Why are they helping the continent to escape from prison? ”
Isomo: "I'd love to refute your suspicions of the Empire's leader, but the facts that I can't refute are in front of me. The only ones who can enter the third-story prison of the Shadow Sub and not set off the alarm are the upper echelons of the Empire! ”
Max: "But the question is, who is it?" Because, if two or three high-ranking Imperial Officials come to the Dark Prison, there will definitely be a record, but if there is only one, it can go directly to the Dark Prison for the reason of asking Vetani's question, and there can be no record. ”
Izemo: "But why? Which Imperial Leader would dare to risk confronting the Dawning Council and release the Dawning Council's most wanted criminal? Isn't this angering the gods and the countries of the continent? ”
Chris: "What if it's forced to do so? ”
Isomo: "What do you mean?" ”
Chris: "Doesn't the upper echelons of the Demon Soul Empire have divine powers?" ”
Max: "Isn't that something everybody knows?" ”
Sintrkuk: "You mean to say that there are high-level people in the Demon Soul Empire, and their minds have been eaten up by the power of the ancient gods?" ”
Chris: "It's not impossible. ”
Isomo: "It's a terrible accusation, but it's a real possibility. ”
Chris: "The power of the ancient gods, we can't describe it in words, we can't confirm whether this huge power has the power to fight back, after all, huge power is often accompanied by a heavy price!" ”
Max: "I remember that the power gained by the Lord of Fate seems to be that of the 'Light and Dark Titan', while the others are the Yama Death God, the Dream Dragon God, and the Dark Frost God. Each of these four Elder Gods has the ability to devour people's minds. ”
Sintr Cook: "The unstable darkness of the Giant God of Light and Darkness, the evil power of the Yama Death God, the nightmare panic of the Dream Dragon God, the dark energy of the Dark Frost God surges......"
Chris: "However, if the high-ranking of the empire enters the prison, there should be soldiers who will know about it, and the high-ranking of the empire has already left the imperial capital, so ......"
Isomo: "I immediately sent people to investigate, the soldiers on duty at the time of the crime, and questioned them one by one. ”
Isomo quickly walked out of the Shadows Prison, mobilized the four members of the Aquila Force, and quickly went to the guardhouse and the warden's office at the gate of the prison to investigate the list of patrol personnel at the time of the crime, and questioned the guards at the gate. Sintr and others, who were still on the third floor of the sub-prison, investigated the bodies of the dead royal guards during this period
Hinter Cook: "This one at the door was a one-hit kill, but strangely enough, the wound was from behind and forward. ”
Max: "The wound in the guardhouse, the wound is from right to left on the chest knife, and the glass in the guardhouse is broken, judging from the position he is lying on the chair, I am afraid that the murderer killed the royal guard directly through the glass." ”
Chris: "The royal guard in front of the cell was killed sideways, which means that he was originally facing Vetani and then killed when he turned around. ”
Sintrkuk: "From the royal guard at the door, the order of their positions is 1, 2, and 3, but the order of their death is 3, 2, 1, that is, the suspect killed the third royal guard first, and then immediately turned around and quickly killed the second royal guard, so that he was not able to sound the alarm and finally killed the number one." And since that person can destroy the iron prison door, the glass of the guardhouse must be no problem for him. ”
Max: "That's not right...... The wounds of this guard... Not a knife wound! Rather, it was caused by the bracers of the seven gods!! ”
Two: "How is that possible!!" ”
Although this clue seems very ordinary, it breaks all reasoning. They originally thought that this time the crime was that a certain high-level of the Demon Soul Empire walked down first, walked to the cell and killed the royal guard, and then killed the royal guard in the guard room at an extremely fast speed, and also killed the guard at the staircase at an extremely fast speed, but this different wound broke all reasoning
Because in this way, what happened was that after the death of the third royal guard and the second royal guard, the first royal guard was not killed, but the royal guard who broke the cage of Vetani and handed over the bracers of the seven gods to Vetani, the royal guard that Vetani killed, but this could never happen, both royal guards died, and the most threatening royal guard at the door died later, it stands to reason that there should be an interval of 10 seconds between them, and the royal guard has enough time, Notify the royal guard on the second floor of the sub-prison.
Max: "How did this murderer kill two royal guards without attracting the attention of the royal guards at the staircase, and then release Vetani?" ”
Sintrkuk: "Or, the royal guard was originally the murderer's man, and then he killed people to make sure he kept the secret." Either that's ......"
Isomo: "Nzerul's scepter, with the ability to control people's minds. ”
Chris: "Is that really the case?" ”
Isomo: "We asked the guards in the guardhouse and at the gate of the prison, and they didn't see anyone passing through the gate and entering the prison. In other words, that person infiltrated the area, and the guards who arrived at the path from the inside of the main prison to the dark sub-prison lacked 5 minutes of memory time, and the royal guards at the entrance of the stairs between the first and third floors of the sub-prison were all killed. ”
Max: "The royal guard's spell resistance is higher than that of ordinary guards, ordinary guards may not remember the memories before and after being controlled by Enzerul's scepter, but the royal guards are not necessarily, it is possible that the royal guards still have memories before being controlled after asking Enzerul's scepter to control them, that is, the royal guards may know who the high-ranking Empire leaders who controlled them and helped Waitani escape from prison." So ......"
Sintr Cook: "In order to destroy unfavorable evidence, let criminals kill the people of their own empire." ”
Hitbels: "Are you guys done investigating?" ”
Suddenly, Hitbels appeared in the Dark Prison, and everyone was startled, because Hitbels appeared here without moving, and the mission statement did not mention that Hitbels would enter the imperial capital.
Chris: "What's wrong?" ”
Hitbels: "Big deal. ”
Max: "What's wrong?" ”
Hitbels: "There are dead again, and...... Also the upper echelons of the Empire! ”
Everyone: "How is it possible!!" ”
Hitbels: "New instructions from above, come with me at once!" ”
Everyone immediately followed Hitbels out of the prison, and Izemo also asked the four Aquila investigators to follow, but Izemo was still in charge of the defense and order of the imperial capital, so Izemo could not go with him. And the group was led by Hitbels to a city in the Demon Soul Empire, which was where other high-ranking generals were concentrated
Led by Hitbels, the crowd immediately broke into the door of the concentration and found the six high-ranking generals of the empire sitting at the table unharmed, playing cards and entertaining
Mohun - Eternity: "Who are you!" ”
Hitbells: "Sent by the Celestials, something has happened. ”
Max: "Didn't you say that the higher-ups were killed?" How to ......"
Mohun-Xiao Chao: "The upper echelons of the Empire? Except for the 'fate' lords who went out en masse, our other high-ranking generals have already gathered here, and even the meals are bought for us by plainclothes soldiers, and we don't go out at all. ”
Mohun-YY: "But, we're all here, and we're all here. ”①
Hitbels: "I didn't say it was the top of the Demon Empire, but ...... Tomb Empire!! ”
Everyone: "What?!" ”
Hitbels: "Lord Celestials just sent me to inform me that the last remaining high-ranking people in the Divine Tomb Empire were killed two hours ago, with a total of four high-ranking personnel and six generals. ”
Chris: "Then why don't we go over there?" What are you doing here to bother a few high-level executives? ”
Hitbels: "The only remaining personnel of the Tomb Empire have all been arranged in a new residence by the high-level of the Demon Soul Empire, and they can find all the remnants of the Tomb Empire, and kill three high-level personnel, as well as the leader of the 'bread' who has obtained divine power, I am afraid that only the high-level of the Demon Soul Empire can do it." And one of the purposes of our visit is to take them to the Dawning Mansion, where the Dawning Council and the Celestial Gods will personally protect them. Another purpose is to ask them, the high-level of the Demon Soul Empire, the 'fate' lord, why they went out, we have to find them quickly! ”
Mohun-Eternity: "They went out on July 2nd, but where they went, it's classified, we can't know. ”
Sintrkuk: "We can't tell now whether they are the only one who has been devoured by the dark power of the Elder Gods, and until the truth is known, we can only grieve a few people and temporarily go to Muthdalo to take refuge from the limelight." ”
Mohun-Xiaochao: "I didn't expect this matter to evolve so severely. The empire that once defended this world will begin to disintegrate internally at this time. ”
Max: "If there is one more person in the upper echelons of the Demon Soul Empire to keep their minds, we can save the situation." Next, we will do our best to investigate, and we must not let the Demon Soul Empire collapse! ”
At this point, the dark dungeon ......
??? "How are these souls?" ”
A thousand faces. Yugsaron: "Yes, my soul energy is already 52 points, as long as the progress is still so fast, I will be able to complete my resurrection by September this year!" ”
??? "Although, the energy you need must be special soul energy, but you can rest assured, we will find those special souls. Your resurrection is only a matter of time, but ...... Time, it's not my problem!! ”
A thousand faces. Yugsaron: "The power of resentment and hatred is what nourishes my energy." Pure aimless killing has no effect on my energy recovery, and I can only recover if someone has resentment and hatred in my heart to kill someone with special significance. At this point, the high-level of the Demon Soul Empire that you control is very useful, and those high-level people who were killed have played a great role in my recovery. Have you decided on the next candidate? ”
??? "Don't worry, after all...... I have a backup plan! ”
