Bang!

The sound of chewing came from behind a broken wooden door, punctuated by the sound of tears. There were crows flying out of the windows and into the cloudy night sky.

It stands to reason that anyone who hears such a strange movement will be suspicious.

But due to the remote location and the fact that it was already night, it didn't alarm anyone.

After a long time, the broken door slowly opened, and the cloaked man slowly stepped out of the shadows behind the door.

At this moment, a ray of moonlight suddenly shone through the gap in the dark clouds and hit the cloaked man's face, revealing half of his face.

His pale skin was covered with countless small sarcomas, and only his chin and nose could be faintly discerned.

At this time, at the corner of his mouth, a touch of red was unusually bright, reflecting an evil light under the illumination of the moonlight, coupled with a strange arc at the corner of his mouth, which made people shudder.

Needless to say, this person is the culprit of the Black Arts incident in the Imperial Capital.

No one knows why he kills people so frantically, like a man with a fever frantically looking for ice to cool down, making people confused about his psyche.

Because of this, his behavior brought great pressure to the military department. Every time one more victim is found, the military department receives another slap in the face.

Some people have already proposed to summon the nine-star powerhouses who are still on the border to the imperial capital to participate in the pursuit, but they have been opposed by others.

The nine-star powerhouses all have their own accusations, and each of them is an indispensable combat force. Even if any one of them suddenly disappears, it will be a huge blow to a certain area of the empire.

If this bothers the nine-star powerhouse to make a move, then there may be a bigger mess!

So the military department decided.

The quality is not enough, the quantity is to make up!

The military headquarters has planted hundreds of eyeliners in the imperial capital, most of which are in the slums.

After all, compared to other areas, the slums crisscrossed by streets and houses are more conducive to the commission of crimes and escape by dark magicians.

The slums have long been a place of criticism in the imperial capital, where the inhabitants are poor and struggling to survive, and the Senate once passed a decree to provide them with resources such as groundwater.

And they only need to pay a small nominal fee, or even allow them to default.

But the decree has not improved the lives of the slums, where the standard of living in terms of health care, transportation, and even economic development has been extremely low compared to other areas.

Poverty breeds crime.

The slums are also the source of crime in three-tenths of the imperial capital, and this is still discovered, and there are only a few more events hidden under the water!

But the hunt for criminals is difficult, and the slums can be deserted in large areas, and you can just flip through a window to another house.

Even all kinds of tunnels, cellars, and even all kinds of unclear routes often disturb the people who come here to handle cases, and the pursuit has become a flower in the mirror, and the moon in the water.

So even if a lot of eyeliner is arranged here, it still makes the cloaked man commit a crime again.

......

Bang!

This time it was not Dickor who slapped the table, but the officer who had always seemed to be calm.

"This is already the fifth case! What the hell does he want to do? Kill everyone in the Imperial Capital?" Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it is undeniable that the indiscriminate killing of the black mage is still going on.

"It's close to twenty people's vitality, and if he completely absorbs it, then he will be at least a six-star level. At this time, Dictor was relatively calm, just in response to the sentence that the more dangerous the more calm.

"It's impossible, it's a priest's magic array, it's impossible for him to absorb so much magic power, at most to five stars. "The officer has not gained nothing in the past two days, at least he has figured out the role of that bloody magic array.

"Where are our prophets, where are the astrographers?" At this time, Dictor also hoped to find the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to sleep at night.

"Failed. Even Redagat of the Holy Dragon Academy could only foresee a dark force looming over the Imperial Capital, but he couldn't find the source of that power. "The officer was clearly well aware of the importance of this matter, and searched in all possible directions.

"No! I think we have to start with the first scene. That was his first crime, and the most likely mistake!" Dictor groaned, deciding to look at the image from the Shadow Stone again.

But he had seen this picture countless times, in a room, two men were brutally dismembered, and the rough blood sacrifice circle was painted on the ground and walls, revealing a strange atmosphere.

Dictor suddenly spoke, "What's going on?"

The officer followed his gaze and saw a dark shadow underneath a bloated body.

"It was a whip that, according to the on-site investigation, was the possession of one of the two bodies. The two are father and son, the father is the vice president of the Norton auction house, and he heard that the son had just messed up his father's arrangement that day, lost a large sum of money and only bought a piece of Alkna gem from the alchemist William, and then locked him in the secret room to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, when they were discovered, they had already been poisoned, and the gem was gone.

In fact, we initially thought it was a robbery and murder case, only to find out later that it had something to do with the black magic case in the imperial capital. ”

"William?" Dictor widened his eyes, "William Copperfield?"

The officer nodded, he didn't know why Dictor was so surprised by the name, in fact, many people knew that William's alchemy level was not as good as that of other alchemists.

He was just lucky enough to refine a Philosopher's Stone.

"That Alkena gem is a fake. Dictor had a look of ecstasy on his face, and he felt that the key to solving the case had to be solved by him!

"What?" the officer was stunned, how did he know? He hadn't seen the gem with his own eyes.

"One of William's gems was kept anonymously in the home of an old senator, and I stumbled upon it while tracking down a lost treasure. The patriarch's family also admitted that they had bought it from William's descendants at great expense a long time ago. Only one of the two gems is true, if the patriarch is there

If it's true, then the other one must be fake!"

Dictor had already begun to sort out the whole thing with new information.

"The wrong gem...... First Scene ...... The Lost Gem ......" Dictor paced back and forth in the room, muttering something incessantly.

"This gem must not have been received through official channels, so it is under this name. After all, many people thought that this gem was long lost. Dictor continued to think.

"Who sold this gem? I can't find out...... But it's also possible that it doesn't matter. The important thing is that this gem is a fake, it may not be an Alkena gem at all!"

Dictor suddenly had a glint in his eyes, and he suddenly remembered something he had recently heard on the black market.

The treasure in Yunting Mountain was opened, and someone released the monster for the disaster of the imperial capital.

Dictor had thought it was just a rumor that the dark magic had disturbed people's hearts, and if there was any monster, how had it escaped from the griffons.

Unless...... It is a stone that the griffon is not interested in at all!

Dictor decided that he was going to Yunting Mountain to have a look.

There, there may be the cause of all these events, or it may be the place where the end ends.

......

When Cizer felt heavy, it wasn't just mental, it was up.

He felt something heavy against his head, and his head, which was a little drowsy because he had just woken up, he didn't know why.

What's wrong with you?

When he opened his eyes, he saw a somewhat familiar arc.

What is it?

Cizer had just come to his senses, and his vision was still a little blurry, but when he finally found himself lying in Susan's arms, his face was like a cloud of fire, red and exuding an astonishing heat.

"Are you awake?" said Susan to his feet, only to realize that he was still in the arena. It's just that by this time everyone has already left, and the audience is empty, only Susan and him.

"What about them?" Cezel wondered.

Susan Wan'er, "They all went first, after all, I don't know when you'll wake up." ”

It occurred to Cezel that he had slept in the morning, but now it was clearly dark.

Lay on Susan's lap all day!

West Zelton staggered, "You, you, you......"

"Let's finish eating. Susan suggested.

"Good...... Cizer scrambled to her feet, but Susan stumbled on the soles of her feet and nearly collapsed, but Cezel held her shoulder.

"Are you alright?" Cezel asked.

Susan shook her head, and soon returned to her usual self, and her steps were much lighter.

"Let's go, let's eat. I'm going to be hungry. Susan urged.

Cizer looked at Susan's back, and there were only two of them in this huge gladiatorial arena. He suddenly wished that this period could go by a little longer, if not a little.

That's it.
