Chapter 37: Disappointment
The first to notice the abnormality was, of course, the police in Guanbuzi City.
But it's also normal.
Because Guanbuzi City is actually not a city that has been valued by the mystical side, and there are no important spiritual veins, none of the forces that manage the local magic families, templar churches, etc.
It is for this reason that Aozaki Orange settled in the city. But as the only magician in the city, she's also not in charge of managing the mysterious side of the city.
Therefore, if there is any criminal case, it is naturally the police who get the news first.
Besides, in this year, as long as it is not a country that does not care about international influence at all, then it will pay great attention to diplomatic issues, and the personal safety of foreign friends is of course very worthy of attention.
However, in the past two months, many foreign friends have come to the ghost place of Guanbuzi City one after another, and they are happy to send people away...... No, it's sightseeing.
This is quite puzzling, after all, Guanbuzi City is not a tourist attraction in the first place, and even because of the Asian financial turmoil last year, the economy is quite sluggish, and the city's development has shown a trend of recession.
Twilight, lifeless, lifeless, the flow of wealth stagnated.
To put it mildly, that's the first impression of the city, sunset. In addition, there are no tourist resources and places of interest, but those foreigners go here exclusively......
It's a really puzzling thing.
And most importantly, as the number of foreign friends entering the city increases, the number of missing cases has skyrocketed, showing an almost reciprocal proportional relationship.
It is precisely for this reason that it is a headache, otherwise, who cares where you go for sightseeing, it is something to encourage to be able to drag economic development.
But the current situation is fundamentally that Guanbuzi City has become a bottomless pit dedicated to killing foreign friends
Those Germans, British, anyway, or whatever, all rushed there in a pile, and then they all mysteriously disappeared and disappeared from the world one by one.
Not only did he never go back, but he never even appeared in this world again.
This kind of thing simply makes the scalp of the government department tingle, and at the same time, it also greatly increases the pressure on the local city's metropolitan police department.
The previous turmoil of the murder and corpse mutilation case finally passed, but now it has exploded more violently? Is it that the killer has upgraded and started to specialize in brushing foreign friends?
The most damning thing is that those foreigners are all very powerful and powerful. Disappearing any one of them can cause big problems, let alone disappearing in droves.
Therefore, the bigwigs above gave death orders, asking for money for money, asking people to give people, and piled up the police force in Guanbuzi City to the extent that they wanted something. They are only asked to track them down to death, and dig three feet into the ground to find out those who are missing.
But even so, the police almost broke their legs, and it was still as if they were looking for a needle in a haystack, and the progress made people feel hopeless.
After all, the world will not change for you because of how strong your thoughts and obsessions are.
Even if those high-ranking bigwigs give death orders, the objective facts are still objective facts, and they will not change because the old man came up with a set of deadlines to solve the case.
If they can really do this kind of talking, they will directly issue orders to "research interstellar colonization technology within three days", "dominate the solar system within five days", and "light up galactic war technology within a week......
Wouldn't that be better?
Disappearances are on the rise, but police officers are not making any progress in solving cases.
There has been no more substantial progress other than clearing the dead corners of the city and cleaning up the rats. And the clues that are occasionally found are not clues at all, and can only be sealed as nonsensical supernatural files.
For example, if there is a violent conflict in some places, even to the extent that someone fights each other, and then a foreign friend disappears, this situation is connected no matter how you look at it, right?
It's a pity that the police officers who rushed to the scene to collect evidence will soon find that the traces at the scene cannot be explained by common sense at all, unless the perpetrators and victims who created the scene are monsters by default.
That's right, it's the kind of mecha that dismantles with bare hands, or rubs fireballs with bare hands, and can only be found in fantasy, games, or anime.
Anyway, there was no progress, but the problem was getting worse and worse, and just when the police officers began to think wildly, and the bigwigs above began to seriously consider whether to ban foreigners from entering Guanbuzi City, the situation finally changed.
Probably because there were so many missing people, they finally began to be afraid, and gradually there were no more foreign friends who were ready to visit that city.
……
……
Yaning Albe, a coffee shop with a European style.
It's noon, but there are very few customers. And I don't know how to design it, the light in the store is very dim, only the table facing the outside is bright, and the inside of the counter is quite dark.
There are four square windows on the walls, and the interior of the store is lit only by sunlight coming in from there. On the table by the window, there are square spots of light. Perhaps due to the bright summer light, this contrast of light and dark gives a sense of solemnity rather than eerie.
"It's really disappointing that they just flinched? What about the authority of the Magic Association? ”
Mu Xiu sat at the innermost table, sighing and complaining as if he was bored, as if he was lamenting his misfortune and angry at someone.
The girl sitting opposite was dressed in a black European-style maid style, with long black hair that lasted until her back, and her posture was awe-inspiring, but it always made people feel as if they were about to be broken.
Hearing the complaint on the other side, Asakami Fujino seemed to be a little amused: "Senior Mu Xiu, even if the Magic Association values authority very much, it can't withstand such a toss from you, senior, they have already lost fifty or sixty people in the past two months......"
"Well, more than a third of them are from the Abbey of Benheim? The potential of the clock tower is far more than that, and one or two hundred more people are fine......
The young man lay on the table weakly and sighed, as if he was very dissatisfied, he glanced at his reincarnation world by the way, and then sighed again.
The soul of the magician is indeed strong enough, and the quality far exceeds that of ordinary people, but there is still a considerable gap from the quality of the soul of the servant, and if the quantity is small, it is still not enough to meet Mu Xiu's soul needs.
Maybe by slaughtering the clock tower and the Schupbenheim Abbey, it is estimated that the real-world area in the reincarnation world can be close to perfection?
It's a pity that after two months of casting a long line to catch big fish, the clock tower and the Schupenheim Abbey seem to have been intimidated, and from the beginning they were violent, determined to take revenge and maintain their authority.
Now, those who died just pretending that nothing had happened were dead, anyway, it didn't have much impact, as long as they didn't shake their foundation, everyone would be fine.
Mu Xiu and Asakami Fujino also came out today as usual to wait for those magicians to come and retaliate, but today was also the same as a few days ago, nothing happened.
After sending dozens of heads one after another, the people on the other side seemed to be starting to feel frightened.
Originally, he just wanted to maintain the authority of his own organization and make an example of it, but it turned out that no matter what level of magician passed, he didn't come back, and he inexplicably lost a large group of backbones of the organization.
If it continues like this, I don't know if it will be able to successfully maintain its authority, but the clock tower will definitely decline.
"I've heard Miss Orange say that the Magic Society is also divided into three major organizations, and the Clock Tower is just one of them...... Although it is not an antagonistic relationship, the three have different ideas, and it doesn't matter if you consider that there is a considerable gap between them. ”
Asakami Fujino said this very seriously, and said his conjecture.
"The current clock tower can be seen as the headquarters of the association, and there is an overall leading trend, but the size of other organizations is also quite ...... If they continue to consume their own strength meaninglessly in this matter, it is estimated that they will not be able to maintain their leading position. ”
Even if it is a rigid and rigid ancient organization, it can be passed down to this day, and it certainly does not rely on a reckless style.
Knowing how to coward is an important quality that they can pass on to the present, if they can't beat others, knowing that the target can't be provoked, they still have to be the head iron, so they will be exterminated for eight lifetimes.
Of course, Mu Xiu also knew such a thing, so he sighed weakly.
"But then again, it's good to pause for a moment...... Fujino: Your actual combat ability has been getting stronger and stronger lately, but there is no psychological pressure? ”
The black-haired girl showed a standard smile like a big lady, shook her head gently, and said very implicitly: "No, I'm very happy to be able to help you with Senior Mu Xiu." ”
Because of her magic eye characteristics, when dealing with those magicians who came to find trouble, Mu Xiu always brought her, first, to be convenient, and second, to exercise her actual combat ability.
After two months and the accumulation of fifty or sixty real magicians, she is now indeed a magician killer in the true sense of the word.
He has even succeeded in awakening the magic eye properties of clairvoyance.
It's just that although the ability is growing rapidly, the psychological pressure may accumulate and be difficult to return, right? A delicate lady who runs around with her every day, and when she finds a target, she twists people directly into a twist or something......
Well, anyway, Mu Xiu always felt that it might not be too good if it continued like this, but Fujino seemed to be unaffected at all.
"No, I don't have any psychological pressure. And didn't you say that they came for Miss Orange, you and us? ”
To Mu Xiu's question, Asagami Fujino seemed to be a little puzzled and replied.
“……”
“……”
"Well, that's fine, but let's pause for a while." After receiving such a natural answer, Mu Xiu still said this after carefully looking at the girl opposite.
"Okay."
The eldest lady-like girl bowed her head lightly and subconsciously agreed, but soon she seemed to be a little uneasy, raised her head and asked.
"In other words, Senior Mu Xiu, I'll ...... next Don't we have to come out like this anymore? ”
"Ah, it's true that you don't need it, anyway, those guys don't continue to refresh, and it's useless to come out......" Mu Xiu replied casually.
Then, he saw the slightly disappointed look of Asakami Fujino, and suddenly couldn't help frowning slightly.
Why be disappointed?
Even if you can accept this kind of thing without psychological pressure, you shouldn't be disappointed at this time! Is it true that she is starting to feel pleasure in hurting others, and she can't stop it?
Wait, this isn't good, I just want her to face up to the inevitable problem, not to immerse her in it! 2k reading web
