Section IV. Scene of the Crime

"ZERO, I ADVISE YOU NOT TO RESIST, IT'S BETTER TO JUST BE CAUGHT. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info "Sileclo walked up to Ling and Zhuge Xun, who had been tied up.

At Ling's signal, Zhuge Xun did not resist. "What do you mean by this, even if I make a mistake, I need a formal arrest procedure, and I don't know what mistake I made, is this also the meaning of the world government?" Ling looked at Hatit to the side.

"You are still stubborn, I received a 'wanted warrant' from the Central Circle on the way here, because the situation is urgent, so the Central Circle is to let all the hunters and workers outside arrest ZERO as soon as they see it, and send it to the Central Circle for trial." Celeclo said.

"Why?" Ling asked.

"Do you still need me to say this? Don't you know what you've done yourself? This is an electronic wanted warrant issued to each of us, and you can take a good look at it. Celeclo opened the wanted warrant for ZERO that he had received on the phone.

Ling and Zhuge Xun saw the three-dimensional image displayed by the phone on the wanted warrant for the crime: suspected of killing Scher. Sebas.

"Schel. Is Sebas dead? How can you think I killed it?! Ling asked.

"Hmph, you're still pretending to be stupid? It seems that without some means, you won't be honest? Sileclo winked at his men.

"Wait." Hattitz on the side said.

"Thank you, old man, for helping us capture the murderer ZERO. I'm coming to the second civilian area this time to deliver some supplies to the civilian areas after the World Conference, and I've already delivered the things, and you've already signed for them, so I have no reason to bother you, and I've also caught the murderer ZERO, and I'm going to go back to the Central Circle now. Sileclo said.

"Well, ZERO is an important murderer wanted by the World Government, although he was captured in my second civilian area, but it has nothing to do with us, please explain this when Sileclos returns to the Central Circle. And as I said earlier, my second civilian district is very grateful that the central circle can still think of us and send us some necessary supplies, if it is useful to my second civilian area, I only need to send someone to inform us, and the second civilian district will do its best. Hattith said to Celeclo.

"Well, I don't need to explain Hattit's capture of ZERO in the second civilian area. Then I won't bother you. "Sileclos is ready to take his leave.

"Rick, you send Celeclos and his group away. Alas......" Hatit asked, as if remembering something, "Can you tie ZERO with a rope?" ”

"Haha, you're worried, even ZERO won't be able to break my 'god lock'," Sileclo smirked complacently.

"Then rest assured. Rick, you must send them out of the second civilian area safely, although there have been many aliens in the second civilian area recently, but Rick, you have to be careful of everyone's safety, don't be careless? ”

"Yes, I know Grandpa." The tall soldier who had been standing by Hattith's side assured Hattith. "Everyone, please come with me this way."

Zhuge Xun looked at Ling and found that Ling was looking at Hadit with a smile on his face with a puzzled expression. But since Ling didn't say anything, let's see what these people want.

Led by Rick, the crowd descended from the elevator to the ground, joined up with the men brought by Celeclus, and left in the opposite direction from where they came. Rick asked the soldiers guarding the gate to open the stone gate behind the mountain, and everyone came outside through the stone gate in turn.

"Rick, isn't this the same route I used to take?" Sileclo asked Rick, who was leading the way.

"That's right, not long ago we were attacked by aliens, you also know that our civilian area is not peaceful, and recently there has been a lot of aliens, and not long ago contact caused us to destroy several passages, so my father told me to take you away safely. We are now walking in the back mountain, which is relatively secluded. Rick explained. And the underground passage you took when you came here was relatively close to this side, and your vehicle was passing through the woods. ”

"That's right." Sileclos looked around, and there were all kinds of trees at a glance, and it was difficult to find a way out without someone leading the way. "You guys give me a good idea of Zero and his accomplices, and I'm going to report back to the Central Circle." Sileclo said to his men.

"Ling......" Zhuge Xun whispered to Ling.

"I know what you think, but after leaving the second civilian zone." Ling whispered.

At this time, Ling was still thinking about the people in the second civilian area. With the strength of the two of them, the twenty or thirty people brought by Xileclo are not a problem at all, and this 'god lock' that he is very conceited will not work for him at all. Ling is still not leaving now in order not to cause trouble to the second civilian area.

But there is one thing I haven't understood, before I came, the person who said from Ling's mouth Hatit should not be the way I saw it just now, from the tone of Hattitt's voice just now, it can be seen that this person is a very 'scared' person, Ling has always been with him, so that Scher. Sebas was by no means killed. Then there are only two possibilities, one is that the Central Circle wants to use this matter to solve Ling, and the other is that the troubled vampire...... Since Ling didn't say anything, she looked at it first, but it was very uncomfortable to walk with her body tied up like this.

"Is it Mr. Christon? I'm Sileclo, and I'm about to leave the second civilian zone right now. I have something to report to you. I caught the wanted criminal ZERO in the second civilian area, and I am about to bring him back to the Central Circle to stand trial. "Originally, Sileclo's immediate boss was Schel. Sebas, but from the last World Conference after the Schel. Sebas was sent to do other things, and he was assigned to the subordinate of the 'proposer' Nangong Lei. But this time, when I received a wanted warrant for ZERO, I announced the exclusive phone number for this incident, emphasizing that if ZERO's whereabouts or arrest on the spot, one of the 'Three Kings' and also a 'decision-maker' should be notified as soon as possible, and anyone can call this number.

"Well, yes, the subordinate arrested the suspect ZERO in the second civilian area...... This is not known at the moment...... That's right, it was ZERO who was taken down by me as soon as he arrived...... Well, Hatit in the second civilian area assists...... Now he is returning to the Central Circle with ZERO and his accomplices...... Haha, don't worry, no, even if he's ZERO, I'll tie him back! Celeclo said to the other end of the phone. Looking back at Zhuge Xun, he had the impression that he had seen this man somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. "Well, my subordinates know. Rest assured, the subordinates will bring the two back safely. When Sileclo was talking, he heard a scream behind him.

"What's wrong......" The moment Celeclo turned around, he felt something bite on his shoulder. Sileclo is also a hunter, and he took out the pistol on his waist and shot it at the head of the monster that was biting his shoulder, and suddenly the monster's blood was splashed, although the head was smashed, but the monster's teeth were still deep in Silecro's shoulder.

Enduring the pain and pulling out his teeth, Silecro saw clearly what was happening in front of him through his blood-blurred eyes, it turned out that the group was being attacked by a group of giant rats, and the number was twice as many as the people on his side, the one that bit him just now was almost as tall as himself after standing up, and some of the mice that were attacking others were also more than one meter tall upright, and some even had more than two meters! His subordinates are all hunters, and most of them are C-level hunters, but they are bitten like children in front of these mutant rats, and in the blink of an eye, corpses are everywhere, most of which are human corpses......

"What's wrong with you over there? Is something going on?" came Christon's voice on the other end of the phone, which was still on the phone.

"We're under attack from the aliens right now...... "Celeclor fired back as he reported to the other side of the phone.

"Didn't you catch ZERO? Let him ......" Without waiting for instructions from the other side of the phone, the phone in Celeclus's hand was bitten off by another rat that pounced on him, along with the entire palm of his hand.

Enduring the pain, Silycloe knew that aliens were rampant on the border and civilian areas before, and he had encountered many mutant aliens when he was on a mission before, but it was the first time he encountered it like today, and the Hunter Guild had said that mutated rats were very harmful, and he didn't believe it yet, but now, he ...... By the way, what about Rick? Now that it is not out of the protective range of the second civilian zone, you can let Rick call reinforcements! What about ZERO? At this point he should help himself...... In a panic, he searched for Rick and ZERO, and saw Rick blowing something behind the mouse, Zero who had already untied the 'lock' and the man who looked familiar.

"So ......" Silecro finally understood what was going on, and it was too late, and the figure had been crushed under the rat that pounced on him.

Seeing that Seereclos and his party had been bitten by rats, Rick stopped playing the whistle in his mouth. "It's a pity, I lost ten 'warriors' this time, and I have to be told by my grandfather again."

"What's going on?" Ling asked Rick.

"I'm sorry to make you suffer. These troubles have been solved, please go back with me, and this friend of yours. Grandpa has prepared lunch and is waiting for you. Rick blew his whistle again, only to see the rats that had been crazy immediately stop biting at the corpses and scatter into the woods.

Rick led Lingtong Zhuge Xun back into the mountain.

"Haha, I'm sorry Ling, I've wronged you, and you understand me. In the immediate aftermath of the World Conference, we also had a lot to think about. As soon as he arrived at the elevator in the work area, Hartit greeted him and said to Ling.

"Nothing, it's just that I don't understand what the hell is going on?" Ling held Hattith's hand and prevented him from making amends to herself.

"We're eating, and we're saying, 'You're hungry too.'" I've got food ready for you in the living quarters. Hattith said. Rick, you go and arrange it, and then come over too. ”

"Yes."

Originally, on the right side of the work area was the residential area, and through an underground stone door, Zhuge Xun Tongling entered the living area of the mountain on the right. There is not much difference between this side and the work area in the middle, and it is now the time for the 'window' overhead, and there are a lot of 'exhaust vents' working on the surrounding walls. The only difference should be that there are many military tents on the mountain that circles here, and each tent has a name plate written on the door......

"Two of you, please." Hatit said.

"You're welcome, old man." Ling said.

The voices of the two of them pulled the observing Zhuge Xun's thoughts back to his eyes. Near the left is a large military tent with the word 'Reception' written on the doorway.

After Ling and Zhuge Xun accompanied Hatit to the seat, Hatit said: "There is no one else today, all of you are my family. Ling: Tell me about this friend of yours. ”

"Oh, look at me. This is ......" Ling glanced at Zhuge Xun and said: "This is the contract I received Zhuge Xun, who usually follows me to help me do some things." He was also one of the people who was infected, and I saw that he had some skills and asked him to follow me. Ling knew Zhuge Xun's personality, so he introduced it like this.

"Well, I'll listen to Kara. Brenda said I was a little surprised that you brought a friend this time. Hattitz laughed.

"Kaoru, this is the boss of the second civilian area, and my friend Hartitt, and then the first one on the left is Ferry, the eldest son of Haditt, and Rick is his child. Next to him is Xirui, the second son. Then there's Leary, the third son. Hattitt's other children and grandchildren are working in their own positions. ”

Zhuge Xun nodded hello to the person whose name was called.

"I've heard, why is the World Government trying to arrest you?" Ferry asked.

At this time, the food was served one after another. Zhuge Xun found that there were many more types of food here than in the first civilian area.

"Ferry, let Ling eat something first, and we'll talk about this later." Hatit said.

"I don't understand what's going on." Ling really didn't know what was going on, and it seemed that the old guys from the World Government still thought their existence was an eyesore.

"Ling, you tell me, that Schel. Did you kill Sebas? Hattith asked.

"It's not." Ling replied. "I also just found out about my wanted warrant, and if I had known, I wouldn't have caused you any trouble."

"I see. That's someone is going to blame you......" Hatit continued with a sip of wine.

"I heard that the World Conference was recently held, and you showed your hand at the conference. After this meeting, the World Government distributed some daily necessities to our numbered civilian areas, and I didn't even see that thing. Silecro came before you, and he was in charge of bringing things here, and then he told me one thing, on the way here, he received a wanted warrant for the 'outsider' ZERO issued by the World Government and the Hunters Association, and the content is the one you saw, ZERO is suspected of killing the original proposer, Schel. Sebas, all hunters outside will notify the Hunters' Association Headquarters or the Central Circle as soon as they see ZERO. No protective enclosures or civilian areas are to harbor ZERO without permission.

And what I heard from Sileclos about your murder is: the original proposer, Schelle. Sebas was found dead in his office, and the death was tragic, and the specific world government did not announce much. Sebas's body was that of his colleague, and according to the person who found him, Schelle in recent times. Sebas always seems to have something on his mind, and he has also changed from the job of 'proposer' to you, that is, ZERO's subordinate, but he can't find you. Because he did not return home for several nights in a row, and his family could not contact him, they went to his place of work to find that he had died in his own office. When the body was found, it was split in two pieces from the left shoulder to the right hip, and the internal organs were scattered on the ground. It's a blow that cuts people off, and it's hard to believe that anyone would have that kind of strength or power. The results of the on-site investigation by the World Government and the Hunters' Association showed that the incision of the corpse was a scar that can only be found by 'electric burns', or was it an ultra-high volt voltage...... As for other more detailed on-site situations, Silecro didn't receive much either. And Sileclos told me a strange thing, and he said that Schelle. The last time Sebas's colleague saw him, the space around him seemed to be a little strange, and the gravitational sensation became stronger...... That's why the World Government and the Hunters' Association will tentatively designate the murderer as you, who can freely control the electricity. And it was Edhris from the Hunters' Association headquarters who came to this conclusion. Summer. ”

"Schel. Sebas became my subordinate? Electrical burns...... If the corpse is really what you say, think only I can do that. But I didn't do it. After listening to Hattitt's words, Ling also understood why the World Government thought that he had killed Scher. Sebas. If not himself, then who still has this ability? Hattith didn't know he could travel through space, so he didn't understand what that 'gravity' was all about. Indeed, when the door is opened, the door emits a suction force that increases the gravity around the door for a short period of time, causing discomfort to the person next to the door. Can the 'Gate of Time' be opened by anyone other than the people who live in the Red Moon Pavilion? Or is it ...... However, there is a contradiction in this matter, that is, the gate of time, you can feel that the distorted gravity must be within 3 meters of the radius of the gate of time, and it is only open for a long time, when the door is closed, the increase in gravity will disappear. If in Schelle. When Sebas died, someone felt the gravity of the Gate of Time, which means that someone witnessed Schel. Sebas's death, but why was it three days later, or was the body found only when the family found their workplace? Knowing that he could use the ability to travel through space must have been used in the second lap to scare Gerald, and the people at the World Conference...... Ling found that Zhuge Xun was looking at herself, and believed that he also found something wrong here.

"But the current situation is not in your favor." That's when Rick came in through the door and walked over to the table.

"All things are taken care of?" Hattith asked.

"Yes. I've already had someone inform the World Government that the last person to call Sileklo was Criston, one of the Three Kings, so that Criston is an indirect witness to this matter, so it saves me a lot of trouble. Then my side reported to him that outside the second civilian area, Sileclos and his party and the captured ZERO and his accomplices were attacked by aliens, and there were no survivors in the second civilian area when they received a distress signal and rushed to the scene. The arrested ZERO and his accomplices are not only gone. I also passed the photos of the corpse to Criston and Edra from the Hunters' Guild. Summer. ”

"I'm going to embarrass you. I didn't know anything like that. Ling said apologetically.

"Say what you say! What you have done for us, we will always remember in our second civilian district, and my wife asked me to greet you on her behalf when she knew you were coming. I wouldn't have met my wife without you. Moreover, when Kara reported to me that you had arrived outside the forest, my grandfather and I were still thinking that if you two didn't meet, we would treat you as if you hadn't been there, but Lu was too, and he didn't look at what was going on inside the house, so he made you feel a little wronged. Rick said.

"How is Lili's body now?" Ling asked

"Hahahaha, my wife is eight months pregnant now, so she didn't come to see you, I'll take you to see her later, she misses you very much. That 'poisonous weed' incident, if it weren't for your help, the original civilian area where Lili was located would have completely disappeared. Even if we take in those who survived, the shadow left in their hearts cannot be removed. ”

"Congratulations to you and Lili. But there's nothing I can do now, this world conference ......"

"Ling, you will always be my friend in the second civilian area, and the person I admire the most in Hatit, no matter what the decision of the World Conference is." Hattith toasted.

"I came over this time and brought something. I believe that Sileclo has already said the decision of this meeting, and the days in the civilian area will be more difficult in the future, I have prepared 100,000 world coins for you, and the population on your side is the largest in several civilian areas, although it is small, it should also be used. At the same time, I have brought you a tree that purifies the air. ”

"Money? When have I ever been short of money? You'd better give it to the other civilian areas. We have numbered ones that are better, and I know that there are some unnumbered ones in this world who need money more than we do. Speaking of the Tree of Purification, is it Pud's boy's? Hattith asked. After the accident with Pudde's little ghost, I asked Ciri to see it, and I heard Morley say that you helped a lot, but he was too anxious! It's going to get to that point in the end. ”

"Things in Pudd are in the past and are now managed by Morley. Hmph, I didn't expect me to have such a day. After I leave you, I should go back to the Hunters' Guild headquarters to explain what happened. I didn't think about letting him die ...... Silecro, and as soon as Hatit said that, I sensed that the World Conference should have said something to the civilian area through the 'executor', so I was still thinking that if you were in trouble on this side I would wait until I left here before 'escaping' on my own. When I heard that Hattith asked Rick to take us back to the woods, I knew you were trying to help me. I haven't forgotten what you told me, 'It's dangerous outside the second civilian area.'" ”

"Actually, Silecro is just a small person. And Ling, you are the kindness of a woman. I also know that you won't hurt him even if you run away on your own, but he won't necessarily appreciate you, so I'll help you. However, in the current world environment, if you still maintain this simple idea, you will end up exhausted to death. Hattith shook her head. This is a little experience of my old man who has lived for so many years. ”

"It's nothing to be tired, I just want to help as many people as I can within reach." Ling sighed deeply.

"By the way, halfway through the talk just now, did you say that the tree you brought here is the one that has just grown in the second circle?" Ciri asked. Because after what happened in the second circle, I went to see it myself, and I was amazed by the mountain god in the second circle.

"The tree in the second circle of Pude is originally there in the second circle, and it is a tree called metasequoia that I brought here, which can properly purify the pollution of the air." Ling replied.

"Metasequoia? Is it the eight-lap kind? I've heard that there is a 'mountain god' in the eighth circle, and I am also a mountain here, and there is also a tree that is relatively long, although it is not as good as Pudena's, but it is also the longest-lived tree in my second district, because I am not familiar with the eight circles, so I have never had a chance to see the 'mountain god'. Hattith said.

"Excuse me, is there a tree in the mountains here that is relatively old? Know the name? Zhuge Xun asked. Every mountain has its own 'mountain god', and if the mountain god still exists, there is no need for metasequoia.

"Ah, there is one tree, which existed before the establishment of the district, and it is estimated that it is more than 300 years old. Are you interested in checking it out? Rick asked. I was very curious about Ling's friend, looking at his peculiar outfit and resolute face, I felt that he was very unusual.

"If you can." Zhuge Xun said.

"Then I'll take you and Ling to have a look when we're done, and I also want to go to the ranch to see the situation." Rick laughed.

Just then a soldier ran through the door and whispered a few words in Leary's ear.

"I'll go right over." After hearing this, Leary got up and said to the people at the table, "There's something wrong with the reserve area, I'm going to go over and take a look now." ”
