Duran, City Hall

Superintendent Ryan finally understood why Colonel Dudge said he would know.

After yesterday the soldiers of the Ministry of Defense escorted those corpses into the city, today he received a notice to go to the town hall for a meeting.

The atmosphere of the meeting was much more depressing than he had imagined.

The nominal supreme leader, the old Duke Edward, the mayor of Durand, was at the top of the list, and today he wore a crimson velvet coat with four mink furs on his hat and a gold ring on his crown and eight gold leaves.

The old duke's face was serious, and he listened to the reports of the people in the audience without saying a word.

"There was an outbreak of disease in Martintown, and nearly half of the inhabitants had deformed limbs and twisted flesh and skin, and it took only three days from the onset of illness to death......"

"Plague?" The old duke asked in a low voice, "Medical Department, what about your results?" ”

A young lady stood up and responded, "The yellow mist in Martintown is a slightly corrosive and toxic gas, but the effects of that mist on the human body need to be studied and observed. ”

"That is, the townspeople did not necessarily die of poison in the fog, but something else."

At this moment, a middle-aged man with long hair wearing a delicately carved robe stepped out of the crowd.

"Greetings to you, Your Excellency the Duke." The man bowed slightly.

"Bishop Girome, what do you think?" The old duke asked.

"Poison and Yellow Mist, there are three heretics that meet these characteristics, the poisonous Cypress in the twilight, the Abyss Serpent Demon Kugal, and ...... Roald the Forgotten Witch. Bishop Girium said earnestly.

"Mr. Bishop, let's save the legend until bedtime, this is the town hall!" A young handsome man stood up and interrupted Bishop Girome, "Lord Duke, the legend of the Church of Order is interesting, just as interesting as other churches, but I don't think those wonderful creatures that have never appeared will not appear after this. The plague in Martintown is supposed to be a premeditated enemy attack, and I am willing to lead the city guard to eradicate them. ”

The old duke was silent, just his eyes moving back and forth over everyone in the room.

After a while, he asked, "The Ministry of Defense, the police station, and ...... Ministry of Special Defense, tell me what you think. ”

"We think it's a man-made attack, our soldiers have completely blockaded Martintown, but those yellow fogs ...... Not only is it horribly toxic, but it's also so corrosive that we can't go deep inside the fog to see the root cause. "Colonel Ducky spoke on behalf of the Ministry of Defense.

"Lord Duke," Superintendent Ryan stroked his chest with his right hand and bent down, "The last time in the town of Aino, the Defense Department also said that it was an ordinary man-made incident, and let our police station take over the handling, and as a result, the loss of the grassroots police officers in the entire Dulan exceeded forty percent, and I can't believe and accept the judgment of the Defense Department!" ”

Colonel Ducky glanced coldly at Superintendent Ryan and did not speak.

"Please Lord Duke officially set up a special defense department, the last incident has shown that some strange phenomena that we don't understand are emerging, and in the face of weirdness, we can only use weirdness to fight!" Superintendent Li'an looked a little excited, the huge casualties of the last police station were always a thorn in his heart, and it was also after that time that Dulan City had the prototype of a special defense department.

He must straighten out this department, which has appeared temporarily and is about to collapse at any time! to divide a part of the vast power of the Ministry of Defense.

Obviously, the old duke didn't want to see the defense department dominant, the city guard, and the police station were all checks and balances supported by him, but the effect was definitely not good.

So, it was at that time that the Ministry of Special Defense appeared.

There is a large population in Dulan City, and there are always a few "abnormal" people, and the special defense department chooses those "abnormal" people.

In the face of Superintendent's aggressive attitude, the Defense Department did not react much, Colonel Ducky was only a spokesman, and the real leaders of the Defense Department did not come to the town hall at all.

The current situation is clear at a glance, if it weren't for the old duke wanting him to say, Superintendent Ryan would never have said so much, he was just a superintendent, and the real person in charge of the police station, like the Ministry of Defense, was not present.

Colonel Ducky was very aware of the old duke's attitude, and this old gentleman had already intended to correct the Special Defense Department, otherwise he would not have deliberately named it just now, which was only a temporary department.

Don't disobey your superiors, especially if he's already made a decision.

"Giger."

The old duke said suddenly.

A tall and strong middle-aged man with a face like a knife came out of the crowd, and there was a narrow scar on the bridge of his nose that spanned the entire face, which should be extremely terrifying, but it added a bit of sharpness and composure to his face.

"Investigate, clean up Martin Town, resolve all anomalies, make a written report," the old duke paused, "After success, I will officially set up the Special Defense Department." ”

"Yes." The man he called Jig simply owed himself and retreated to his place.

One after another, eyes shot at him, and the situation in Dulan, a big city in the south, suddenly changed.

But everyone knows that this time the operation of the "Special Defense Division" will not be so easy to succeed, in all respects......

"Your Excellency," Bishop Girome began, "can you give the Order a few places to Martintown?" ”

"How many do you need?"

"Three." Bishop Girome laughed.

"One." The old duke's dull voice did not change Bishop Guillome's smile in the slightest.

"As you wish, Your Excellency."

"Ducky, tell Helma that his soldiers in Martintown will fully cooperate with the Special Defense Department and ...... Investigation of the Order Church. The old duke said suddenly.

Colonel Ducky, who had been expressionless, suddenly turned ugly after hearing this, but he still respectfully touched his chest with his right hand and responded, "Yes." ”

"Adjournment."

……

"Avella, what's wrong with you?" The long-haired burgundy woman's voice was elegant and puzzled, "Since you came back yesterday, you have been a little unrelenting. ”

Avella woke up from her distraction when she heard the voice.

"Look at you, the silver pearl of Dulan University actually showed a look of longing, which lucky kid stole your heart?"

"Deanna ......"

Avella's face was a little unnatural, how was she going to tell her noble-born roommate that she had been thinking about a strange woman?

"You won't ...... Did you really fall in love with someone yesterday? Deanna's eyes widened in amazement.

"No......" Avella shook her head, "I just saw something unbelievable and I had never seen ...... in my previous life"

Deanna stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Avella's waist from behind, and said with a smile: "Very well, our Mr. Headmaster went to the town hall council, and now he suddenly called you, as if he had something to say to you." ”

Ivy stretched out her hand and pinched Deanna's waist: "Don't say it sooner......"

"Ahh Deanna exclaimed, and hurriedly dodged Avella's hand.

But I heard Avella say, "I'll go first." ”

"You...... Note that Mr. Principal seems to be in a bad mood. ”

"Hmmm......"
