A few days later.

The fog that permeated the city of Brut had long since dissipated, but the panic was far from gone.

On the morning of August 10, the people who had escaped from the destruction of the walls of the park suddenly reappeared from the place where they had disappeared.

The return of those who had been missing for more than two months surprised some of those suffering from their disappearance, but was followed by a flood of coverage.

On the following day, 11 August, a large number of newspapers carried the good news.

It's been a long time since the newspapers of Brut have seen such a positive story.

People were holding newspapers and discussing how those who had been swallowed up by the walls had returned, and where they had been held in the meantime.

But almost all of the people involved are completely unaware of what happened, the memories of playing in the park are not preserved, and they don't even know what they have experienced.

Recruited as "nationals", their physical metabolism is reduced to a minimum, like animals that have entered a state of hibernation, and only those who have disappeared for the longest time feel intense hunger after escaping.

Other than that, they don't know anything.

Some people, even after escaping, move forward by habit, to eat, to work, to play...... It wasn't until the people in those places asked where they had been these days that they realized that there was a big gap in their lives through the comparison of time.

With more and more reports related to this.

The joy was quickly diluted, and more and more people realized the horror hidden within.

Unknowns are often a big cause of fear.

Those who escaped confirmed the existence of the "mysterious disappearance".

And they did not come forward to explain the cause of the incident to them, and no one told them for sure that the incident was over.

The thought that they might as well disappear into thin air without noticing it makes many people unable to laugh anymore.

The feeling of powerlessness that you can't control your own destiny can make you feel panic from the bottom of your heart.

At such times, the government needs to stand up and guide public opinion, and at least have an "expert" to explain the cause of the incident - even if it can't be explained, it must be loudly told to people: we can solve it, please believe us!

But the town hall, which was supposed to be responsible for this function, was in an indefinite shutdown.

Because something happened to the mayor.

……

However, Brut City was originally such a place, and the difference is that relatively stable areas such as the college district have also been affected.

As a member of the residence, Su Xian's feelings are quite clear.

The most obvious example is that there are significantly fewer pedestrians on the streets, and people begin to consciously walk in the middle of the road and do not go near the walls.

It is not known how long this will last.

What made Su Xian feel sad was that he suddenly noticed that for more than a month, he had only made a big deal - he was even deceived by it.

This is completely contrary to his original intention, and it is too bleak.

Fortunately, there is a mine in his house.

……

The third day when the fog cleared.

August 12th, nightfall.

Su Xian put down a paint pen, looked at the white clown mask in his hand that had been colored, and couldn't help but exhale softly.

The art of carving is indeed difficult to learn, and even if he has the dexterity of the "Spirit of the Dragon Demon Swordsman Toko Scat", it took a lot of waste of materials to carve such a barely visible clown mask, and then paint it pure white.

When the paint on the mask was dry, he changed into a pure black dress, put on the mask again, and went out.

Tonight, he's going to continue his thoughts on the day of the fog and go to the Skeleton Gang to get to the bottom of it.

Now that the clue about the clown has been broken, the black-robed man with the skull mask who appeared in the Skull Gang is another clue that can be pursued.

He suspected that the black-robed man who called himself the "Deathbringer" was also a masquerade partyman.

And that guy, who obviously knew him, also spread information about him within the Skull Gang.

I have to guard against it.

……

The Skeleton Gang is based not far from the Academy District, and many of the members of this gang operate in this area.

Su Xian didn't even ask anyone, and easily found their location.

It was near the site where the fishmeal warehouse was burned that day.

It was a compound formed by several bungalows connected together, and there was even a sign of "Skull Gang" hanging at the entrance of the courtyard.

This is the gangsters of the city of Brut, blatant and unabashed.

It was late at night, and there weren't many people coming in and out of the compound.

Su Xian stood on the roof of a house next to him, looked down for a while, then took out the "Explorer's Eye" and stretched out his hand towards the compound, and that eye flew out silently and invaded the compound.

Slightly different from what he imagined, the Skeleton Gang was quite heavily guarded, whether it was behind the door, in the corner of the wall, or at the window, there were many people guarding and guarding, and the expressions of those people were extremely vigilant.

"Is it on the embankment?"

Su Xian thought about it for a while and continued to manipulate the "Explorer's Eye" to explore in the courtyard.

His goal is clear, to find Yoni, whom he met that day.

No one could detect the invasion of the "Explorer's Eye", and the entire compound's defenses were flawed in his eyes, exposing all people and objects to his eyes.

Most of the people in the courtyard seemed tense, and the atmosphere was delicate.

But even in such a tense atmosphere, there are still people in the compound who are fornicating, many people who are addicted to gambling, and even some people are smoking fishmeal.

In this case, the "Explorer's Eye" only glanced at it, and quickly found a room that looked like a conference room.

There are people on guard inside and outside this room, as if telling someone that something important is here.

Su Xian manipulated the "Explorer's Eye" to drill into it, and sure enough, he saw people inside, a group of people who were obviously in a meeting.

"Found it."

Su Xian's eyelids moved, and he slowly opened his eyes, and he saw "Yoni" inside.

"I'm so lucky."

……

Yoni attends a meeting of the Skull Gang.

Meetings like this, in recent days, have been held almost every night.

The meeting consists of the leader of the Skeleton Gang, the deputy leader, and the leaders of the three groups, a total of five people, that is, the five people who control the entire Skeleton Gang.

Their people may not understand the reason for the frequent meetings, but all five of them know it all too well.

They are discussing countermeasures, and in layman's terms, they are trying to find a way!

Three days ago, the fishmeal from the three major warehouses that the gang had made with all their might was burned by someone who jumped out of nowhere!

In order to buy the "forked seabream" that makes fishmeal, they not only spent a lot of money, but also owed a lot of human debts, and even caused a phenomenon similar to "monopoly", which caused the purchase price of "forked tooth seabream" in the market to skyrocket.

Even so, it is only the amount of the three major warehouses that are manufactured.

However, the fishmeal that had been produced with such hard work was burned overnight!

It's not scary that something is gone.

It's terrible to anger people who don't get something.

The man who calls himself the "Messenger of Death".

"It's been three days!" The leader of the Skull Gang couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "In three days, we only bought a small amount of fishmeal from other gangs, which is far less than the amount requested by the envoy!" ”

Listening to his voice, the other four people present all looked sad and didn't know how to respond.

Finally, the leader turned to Yoni and asked, "Yoni, you have been in contact with the messenger the most, do you think he will be the kind of person who has a forgiving heart?" ”

Yoni couldn't help but cover his head and said bitterly, "I don't know. Uncle, I really don't know. ”

The deputy leader seemed to have found an opportunity to vent, and suddenly asked: "Yoni, you tell us honestly, did you offend someone that caused the other party to come to retaliate?" ”

Yoni looked up in surprise and said, "Uncle Bed, why do you have this thought?" You should know that I don't get into trouble easily. ”

The deputy leader said bitterly, "Yoni, it's not that I don't trust you. But you know what's at stake, and if you really anger the emissary, we're all going to die! I've heard that you provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked a few days before the warehouse was burned, and in the end it was the messenger who rescued you. ”

Speaking of this, one of the older group leaders also said angrily: "I know about this too. I remember that the messenger had told us that he had told us. Doing things in this area must not provoke the man named Mark Guynon. Yoni, it's your responsibility! ”

Seeing that the pot was about to be thrown on him, Yoni's eyes widened and he quickly explained, "You can't do this! At that time, I just wanted to teach the two detectives who were following me that if I knew they were related to Mark Guynon, I wouldn't have provoked them in death! You must know that even the Messenger himself did not blame me that day! ”

The deputy leader said bitterly: "That's because the envoy didn't know that it would lead to this result!" There are three whole warehouses of fishmeal, and once the messenger comes to receive it, and we can't take it out...... Yoni, do you want the whole gang to die because of you? ”

Fear gradually appeared in Yoni's eyes, and he stared at the deputy leader, and couldn't help but tremble, "What do you mean by this, Bed?" ”

The deputy leader looked at him slowly and said in a deep voice, "Yoni, there is always a price to be paid for doing something wrong. ”

Yoni suddenly understood what he meant, and quickly turned his head to look at the leader: "Uncle! There is no evidence that the man who burned down the warehouse was that Mark Guynon! This matter has nothing to do with me at all! ”

But the leader of his vision, the man he called "uncle", was only holding his chin with his fingers crossed, and his eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.

Yoni couldn't help but push the chair back and said in a trembling voice, "You, you ......"

I don't know when, the eyes of the rest of the people present have all focused on him, like a sharp sword, piercing straight in.

Yoni finally understood the heart of tonight's meeting: "You guys, you want me to be the one to take the blame?" I tell you, no way! No way! ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands on the table and stood up suddenly, a trace of black qi overflowing from his body.

But seeing such a strange appearance, the other four people present did not move.

Finally, the leader of the Skeleton Gang spoke again, "Yoni, I have no children under my knees, and I have always regarded you as my own son......"

Yoni suddenly roared, "Even grandson is useless! ”

The leader was silent for a long time, and then continued: "I don't need you to do anything, just tell the messenger when he reappears that the person who burned down the warehouse is Mark Guennon, and the messenger should not blame us, it is not an opponent we can resist. ”

Yoni gasped, "I won't blame you, only me, because I provoked him?" ”

The leader looked into his eyes and said slowly, "Isn't it? ”

"I'm your Margot!"

Yoni burst into a violent eruption, and a large amount of black gas erupted from his body, his face distorted, and the skin on his body instantly dried up, revealing skin and bones.

Immediately, his whole body was carrying billowing black qi and swooped towards his uncle!

The table used for the meeting was directly smashed by him, and his withered and thin five fingers turned into terrifying claws, which stabbed the leader's neck like lightning!

But such a sharp and terrifying attack was caught by the leader raising his hand.

The moment he caught the claw, the leader's face quickly dried up and turned into a skeletal face.

His eyes gleamed with blood, "Yoni, do you think you're the only one who has received the gift of death?" ”

Almost at the same time, the rest of the people present also turned into shriveled skeletons.

There was a lot of black gas in the room.

……

"Squeak—"

Before the five skeletons could fight, the outer door to the room was pushed open.

"Who?"

Several of the men guarding the inside of the outer door burst into flames, but then there were a few muffled noises, and all those on guard were knocked to the ground.

The man in black with the pale clown mask walked into the room and walked slowly to the conference room inside.

By the time he pushed open the door to the conference room, the five people inside were already staring at the door with full vigilance.

The room was soundproofed, but the people on the outside would pull the trap when someone broke in, causing the alarm bell to ring in the room.

……

"Good evening, everyone."

Su Xian greeted in a sharp voice.

He had been listening outside for a while, but he didn't bother to interrupt them because the meeting was so interesting.

It wasn't until the five of them were about to fight that he walked in.

"The clown in the white mask? Are you the wanted criminal for that cruise ship? ”

Seeing the mask on Su Xian's face, the leader of the Skeleton Gang couldn't help but wonder.

Su Xian smiled: "That's not me, I'm just an admirer of a pale clown." ”

Yes, worshippers.

Since the police issued those two wanted warrants, the clues about "Pale Clown" and "Hood Monster" have been unfound, but a group of admirers of the two have inexplicably emerged.

They often wear white clown masks or black hoods, and they are noisy in groups at night in the markets, bars, and alleys.

Whether it was a cult of violence or an outpouring of panic, only they know.

……

Foul black gas surged through the air, and the leader of the Skeleton Gang had already pounced two seconds after asking the question.

He doesn't care whether the other party is a "pale clown" or not, what he really cares about is whether Fang Cai's conversation leaks out.

Yoni, however, seemed to have found an opportunity and immediately attacked the deputy leader of Bed on the side.

The battle that had been suspended suddenly restarted.

But the battle ended very quickly.

It was all five people who were knocked out, including Yoni.

Kicking all five people together, Su Xian looked at Yoni and asked with a smile, "Are you happy, are you happy?" You don't have to take the blame. ”

Yoni just shuddered.
