After leaving the Ralph family's abandoned mansion, Evan and Tuze went to the local police office, arranged for a search, and learned that Ralph and his wife, Clara, had left Pushu Town almost a week earlier.

Witnesses said they were in a hurry and seemed to be in a hurry.

According to the clues obtained so far, it should be that the dreadbeast took the former family members hostage as a cover and quietly left Pushu Town.

But Ivan was sure she hadn't left, at least not far, as the nightmare had always haunted the town, and its effects were getting stronger and stronger, and it wasn't long before it could even change the environment.

It was the first time for him that he could be sure that there was a dreadbeast here, but he couldn't accurately capture its location.

But the Dreadbeast didn't leave, and to some extent, it's a good thing.

Evan asked the temple to secretly send someone to ask for support, and he lived alone in a hotel in the town, planning to just wait for the rabbit to consume with the other party. Since she has been stranded near the town, the other party must have her purpose, so it saves him from chasing after him.

......

Watching the sunset slowly sink into the distant shade, Evan sat alone on the balcony of the hotel, drinking beer, watching the pedestrians on the street walk back and forth, his heart full of anxiety.

The townspeople on the streets were in a hurry, with no sense of impending disaster, and were still working day and night for their livelihoods, and only a very small number of them felt that something was wrong:

The apparently strong walls were suddenly thickened further, and the usually cold priests began to go from house to house to ask for warmth, and the city defense army patrolled more and more frequently, and the time of the night curfew was greatly advanced. A group of outsiders who have been staying at home all day gradually gathered in the hotel, there seem to be more beggars wandering all day long in the streets and alleys, and the interrogation between the various checkpoints has become unprecedentedly strict.

The official version is that smuggling will be strictly investigated, and ordinary residents are only slightly depressed, but some well-informed people still sensed that something was wrong and evacuated Pushu Town in advance.

......

In the somewhat cool air, Ivan returned to his room, sitting alone by the window, wiping the weapon he was carrying, and watching the gray morning mist permeate the surrounding woods, he felt an inexplicable sense of tension in his heart.

All this in front of me looks like the eve of a storm, it seems to be calm, but the air pressure is getting higher and higher, and the wind and clouds are fusing overhead, and it feels like a thunderstorm will hit this border city at any time.

Knock knock knock——!

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

He lowered his sword, which had been coated with anti-rust oil.

"It's me, Tuze!"

The priest outside the door lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by others, and whispered.

"Damn it!"

Evan suddenly furrowed his eyebrows, cursed secretly, walked over and opened the door, and when the other party rushed in like a frightened monkey, he immediately closed the door and locked it again.

"Didn't I tell you not to act alone!

"It's important, Your Majesty!"

Tu Ze swallowed his saliva, and suddenly his pupils widened, like two round copper bells: "Recently, a group of people in the town seem to have noticed something and secretly left, I have reported this matter to you, right?"

"It's true. ”

Ivan turned back to the bed, sat down gently, and sheathed his well-maintained saber again:

"At that time, I asked you to put martial law on the whole city under the banner of thorough investigation of smuggling, and at the same time to be lenient and strict, so as not to make people panic, and those who want to leave will let them go...... Did something go wrong?"

"We did. ”

The priest lowered his head slightly, and his face suddenly sank into the darkness: "But these people have disappeared since they left the town...... At least most of them are missing. ”

"How can there be no whereabouts!?"

Evan stood up suddenly, walked straight to the other party, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't all the witchers I found come in intact?

"Of course I know that...... It was through them that I found out that those people were gone!"

Tuze tried his best to stay calm, but the flickering pupils still revealed the fear in his heart: "But since yesterday, not a single witcher, or the rest of the temple priests, has arrived in the town. ”

Rumble——!

Suddenly, the hideous and dull thunder came from afar, and the two looked out the window, the sky was still bright, but the black clouds like a curtain had been pulled up on the horizon, and they were slowly crushed.

"This is not normal......"

Evan shook his head, muttered to himself and walked to the balcony, looking at the dark clouds that were spreading, and suddenly shook his body:

"They're casting a net!"

"You mean—they!?"

The priest gasped, and his face turned pale.

The rain began to fall from the sky, and the pedestrians screamed to avoid the rain, and their shoes were wet as they ran away.

"Locking down an area without us knowing it, this is something that a dreadbeast alone will never do!"

Ivan turned to look at him, his pupils suddenly contracted to a point, and his gaze was as sharp as lightning:

"This is the signal of a full-scale counterattack by the Dreadbeast, and the enemy we will face will not be a Dreadbeast, but a gathered Nightmare Legion!"

“......”

Tuze's eyes instantly became hollow, as if his soul had broken away from his body, and his body collapsed limply on the floor like a deflated ball.

Bang ——!

At this moment, the rain grew heavier, and it flew like bullets, hitting him with a cold face, and he raised his face as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Your Majesty, you must have a way!?"

The priest's trembling voice broke the silence and looked at each other with a look of hope.

The person on the other side is the judge who hunts countless dreadbeasts, and the natural enemy of the demons! If it is him, there must be a way, even in the face of hordes of dreadbeasts, he will definitely be able to win as always!

“......”

Evan walked up to him in silence, helped the other party up, showed confident eyes, and said loudly:

"We can win! It will cost you a lot, but I assure you that we can win!"

"We can win...... We can win...... We can win ......"

Tu Ze stared at him in a daze, his mouth was like a dream, repeating his words, his pale face gradually turned ruddy, and his voice returned to its former strength:

"We're going to win!"

Since the Inquisitor says he can win, then he will definitely win, because he is a living legend!
