Darkness, Silent City.

"Lina?"

Looking at the figure that appeared on the communicator, Elton froze for a moment, he thought that Carter had something important to look for him, but he didn't expect to see Lina.

"Senior El, there's something I'd like to talk to you about alone."

The voice from the communicator was a little distorted, but the content made Al's heart tremble slightly, could it be ......?

Just when Al's mind was full of thoughts, he heard Carter's smiling voice coming from the communicator: "Ah, this is naturally how it should be, I'll go." ”

"I'm just reporting to Al!"

Lina's angry voice came out, even if the figure projected by the communicator couldn't see the expression clearly, Al could imagine Lina's pretty face tense, tsk, it could make Lina, who has always been extremely gentle, angry, this Carter is also a talent.

After half a minute of silence, with the sound of the door closing, Lina spoke again, and as soon as she spoke, she went straight to the point: "El-senpai, the Ebony Blade has appeared. ”

"Oh, Lina...... What the? Ebony Blade?! ”

Al was a little absent-minded at first, not knowing what he was thinking, but he reacted halfway through his words, and suddenly sat up straight, and the messy thoughts in his mind disappeared: "Are you sure?" ”

Lina didn't answer Al's question, but recounted in a very calm voice: "In the last week, there have been a total of five murders in Snow City, and the six deceased are all women, the first of which is ...... All five murders are headless cases, and the killer leaves no useful clues. ”

After briefly recounting the five murders, Lina began to talk about her investigation again, her voice was still calm, but even if Al was stupid, he could hear the suppressed anger in Lina's voice: "Of course, this is only the result of the investigation of the guards of Snowman City, and the fact is that except for the last case, the murderer left no traces because he did not find out the relationship with the victim, in the other four cases, the murderer left hair, dandruff, and fluid in the victim's body. But when I mentioned this to the guards of Snowman, the guards didn't think these things were useful, and after repeated questioning, the guards said that none of the traces were left by the murderer. ”

"Has the murderer been ignored?" Al muttered quietly, looking up at Lina's image again, "How can you be sure that these things are left behind by the murderer?" ”

Lina's image still looked at Al, but did not answer his question: "I then visited the families of three of the victims, asked the victims' families for clues, and then learned from the victims' families that there was an important task, the victims' boyfriends.

Interestingly, although the boyfriends of these victims do not use the same name, the descriptions of the victims' families are extremely similar, especially in terms of appearance, except for a few synonyms, which are almost identical. ”

Lina said "funny", but her tone grew colder, and although she couldn't make out her expression, Al was sure that her eyes must have turned red.

"Same boyfriend? Those guards should have ignored this, right? Al smiled bitterly, Lina's guess was almost certain in his heart.

"Yes," Lina's image nodded, "not only the guards, but even the victim's family didn't think this person was the murderer, and even gave him a part of the victim's inheritance. ”

"Does killing get an inheritance? It seems that I heard Ah Ye say," Al smacked his lips, "I will send another Shadow Blade into Snowman City and inform Lord Balguf, do you have anything else?" ”

There was a bit of anticipation in Al's eyes, but Lina was silent for a full minute before speaking again, and the hoarse voice surprised Al: "That murderer is Auston." ”

"What!"

Al stood up suddenly, the chair fell to the ground with a thud, and an invisible wave spread around Al, and the projections on the communicator blurred for a moment.

"It's Alston."

Lina's voice was still hoarse, and in the video, it seemed that tears were falling again.

"Don't worry," Al said hurriedly, "I'll rush over with the Shadow Blade's elite right away!" ”

Before the words fell, Al activated another communicator, and after giving a few orders in a hurry, he looked at Lina's image again: "Lina, from now on, you stay in the Chamber of Commerce and don't leave, no matter what happens, you must wait for me to go over, okay?" ”

"Good!"

Lina choked her voice and nodded heavily, then cut off the communication, and at the last moment, Al clearly saw that large tears slipped down Lina's face as if the thread had been broken.

"Ebony Blade...... Auston ...... Lina ......"

Al kept repeating these words in his mouth, and as if his body had been drained of strength, he leaned limply against the table next to him, and only stood up straight again when there was a knock on the door.

He pushed open the door and strode out, looking at the Shadow Blade elites standing in a row outside the door, and took a deep breath: "Everyone, follow me to Xueman!" ”

The Silent City was in turmoil.

As the only high-level person who stayed in Silent City, Al was not able to leave as soon as he said it, but the affairs of Snowman City made him anxious, so he simply recruited his assistant halfway, and gave instructions as he walked, arranging all the things in the next month in Silent City, and then walked into the dwarf elevator with anxiety.

With the sound of steam, feeling the power coming from under his feet, Al took a deep breath and glanced at the Shadow Blade elites around him: "Everyone, this mission is extraordinary, I hope everyone is prepared to die in advance." ”

Silent.

No one responded to Al's words, but the forty-six eyes were full of ease and confidence, the Shadow Blades didn't care, but when they became the Shadow Blades, they had already put aside their personal life and death, and from the beginning, they regarded themselves as the blades of the Silent City, and since then they have ignored life and death, and only fought for the Silent City.

"Very good," looking around, Al nodded, and explained the details of this mission to the Shadow Blades: "A week ago, the demon artifact Ebony Blade that was sealed in the Dragon Night Palace was stolen, and the person who stole the Ebony Blade was bewitched by the demon god Mephala, and committed five murders in one week, the methods were extremely cruel, and because of the demon artifact, the guards of Snow Man City could not hunt him down, so they needed our help, this mission ......"

While assigning tasks to the Shadow Blade, Al sighed in his heart, now that the threat of Mirak has just emerged, there is a demon artifact here to stir up the wind and rain, which is not a good sign.
