Chapter 28: Capture
If you stop when you hear a sound, then there may be some truth in the police comrades shouting "Stop". But knowing that the other party will never be obedient and restrained, why do you still shout "stop"?
If you cry out to "stop" you can stop the atrocity, if you command "Survive" you can keep life going...... It's a meaningless thing and it's still doing it. This may be the difference of being a human being - people always like to do things that are obviously useless, but they can strongly make their position clear.
Now it seems that it is not only human beings, but also servants of God.
Yu Qian's shouting of "thieves are leaving" naturally has no effect. He clearly heard the other party's provocation, and he also knew very well that he might not be able to catch up with this black shadow that had sneaked into the shadows of the jungle.
However, after just shouting "Catch those mortals" and signaling the Orilinger Shaman to lead the other Assassins to capture the bandits, Yu Qian still plunged headlong into the thick green shade.
"Waiting for me to come?" Yu Qian opened hundreds of protective shields supported by divine power the moment he entered the green shade. I almost wrapped myself in a dumpling. However, after rushing into the shade of the trees, the expected attack did not come. At the same time, the black shadow that had hidden in the woods disappeared completely.
Yu Qian looked at the towering spruce trees around him on high alert, and at the same time carefully sensed the movement around him for a long time. After confirming that the other party had run away without a trace, he turned around and walked out of the woods.
The place where the black shadows performed the torture was a forest clearing that had been carved out artificially. The remaining stump sections on the ground are still a little wet, and it seems that the clearing has not been carved out for a long time. It's just that dozens of trees that have been cut down are gone.
It doesn't take much effort to control the bandit leaders who vomit to the point of completely losing their ability to resist. It was only when Olinger tied up his men that he encountered some slight resistance. So Olinger used his dagger to easily defuse the resistance of three of them. At the same time, their lives were dissolved.
"It's all here?" Yu Qian frowned and looked at the human organs that were still wriggling unconsciously, and his nose twitched twice.
"Yes, my lord," Ollinger replied in a low voice, "including three of them who do not have long eyes. It's all here. ”
"The number of people is not right. Yu Qian looked at the many bandit leaders around him and hesitated, "There are nineteen soul fluctuations here. But even if you don't know if you can count it as a human thing, there are only eighteen people here. There's one more person you didn't catch. ”
Olinger was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted around, "You guys, did you see someone running away when you caught the cubs just now?"
"I don't see!" twenty replies rang out from all directions. From the time they entered the clearing, the Assassins had maintained a high frequency of observation of the clearing. From the naked eye, smell and hearing, to the Assassins' usual telepathy and some Scouting spell scrolls, they were used, but nothing was found.
"My lord, something is not quite right. Orilinger Shaman walked over and whispered to Yu Qian, "Although I don't know what soul fluctuations are, I also feel that the number of people is a little wrong. ”
"How do you know if it's right?" Yu Qian said curiously.
"There were sixteen pieces of vomit on the ground, and three bandit leaders who had a nervous breakdown and were on their knees crying wolf. Shaman Olinger replied, "I've just looked at it carefully, and the three guys on their knees haven't vomited. ”
Watching a person he knew be unheard of by a spell that easily removed all bones except the skull and turned into a puddle of flesh. Then the meat puree was also torn by a group of black balls that he couldn't understand, and even simply tore all the skin, and the intestines and internal organs flowed all over the ground. This stimulus is indeed beyond the normal human response. Vomiting and mental breakdowns are normal. The person who was not caught should have been stimulated a lot, but even so, Yu Qian and Olinger could only roughly judge that there was a fish that slipped through the net here. But there's no way to get that guy out.
"We entered very suddenly. Yu Qian thought for a while, and suddenly said, "If he started to hide after discovering that we had entered, then there is no reason why we would not have found him." This shows that this person is often in a state of 'being undiscoverable by others'. Yu Qian walked up to a bandit leader who had just stopped vomiting and was desperately wiping the tears from his face, and asked, "Who is the one who is hiding?" Without hesitation, he raised his right foot and stepped on the left leg of the bandit leader.
"Ahh But it was still quiet, and it seemed that the fish that slipped through the net did not intend to use his own safety to ensure the safety of others.
Yu Qian walked up to the second captive and stomped on his right arm.
The third captive was trampled on two ribs on his left back.
Just as Yu Qian was about to hurt the fourth captive, the man cried and screamed, "I know, I know! That's Andre, he's an invisible man!"
"Let's talk about it in detail. Yu Qian showed an expression of impatience to be disturbed in the process of enjoying the sadism. He asked with a calm face, "What's the matter with the incognito?"
"I don't know the exact content, it's just, I've just heard it said!" I'm not afraid that the captives will see death as if they were at home, anyway, there are a lot of live mouths caught at the scene. As long as one person opens his mouth first, the rest will be easy to handle. The fifth captive was quite a bachelor, and before Yu Qian could ask in detail, he told him what he knew like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.
Andrei was an ordinary gendarme. The Cyblos Empire has a somewhat peculiar institutional setup, and they do not have an independent law enforcement agency. Police-like work is represented by the most responsible gendarmerie of the Royal Knights, who are stationed in various places. Because it is often patrolled in black iron helmets and leather armor, it is also privately called a black leather dog by many people.
It is said that Andre fell into stealth because he was caught up in a rare burst of magic while carrying out his mission, a "folk archmagician" who thought he was excellent at modifying a high-level teleportation scroll. The intention is to use their own modified scrolls to give ordinary people the ability to freely teleport.
However, while the slave that the archmage had bought as a test subject was about to open the scroll, Andre broke down with his colleagues. Before the "Folk Grand Magician" could unfold other auxiliary magic circles, he divided the person by two. But the slave with the scroll in his hand still faithfully carried out the task given to him by his master. After seeing that the slave was about to tear open the scroll, Andrei, who had subconsciously reacted in order to preserve the evidence of the crime, pounced on him with an arrow. Snatched the scroll from the slave. It's a pity that Andrei's movements are a little slower, and tearing the scroll means activating the scroll. Despite grabbing the scroll, the modified advanced teleportation scroll still activated. It's just that this activation has shifted to Andrei-centric. The energy of the scroll, which had been modified in key parts, was completely out of control, and the raging energy and magic washed over Andrei's body over and over again. From the time the hair became slightly transparent, to the complete disappearance of the figure in front of everyone, less than five seconds passed.
Andrei's personality, which has become transparent, has also undergone a drastic change at the same time. After decisively abandoning his job and identity as a gendarmerie and killing his colleague and the slave who came with him without hesitation, Andrei devoted himself to assassination, theft and other crimes. In less than two months, the Invisible Water Thieves Group, led by Andre the Transparent Man, has grown to the scale of hundreds of people. And just as Andre began to ponder his next move, the black shadow appeared in front of Andre.
After the black shadow appeared, no one knows what he communicated with Andre. Andrei himself didn't say it, and the Black Shadow naturally wouldn't explain the content of their conversation to the others. At the same time, Andrei decided to take all his subordinates and join the Black Shadow Organization's interception operation.
"The Invisible Water is the mastermind of the operation!" the captive fell to his knees in his vomit and howled, "we ...... We just want to stutter!"
"It's the funniest joke I've heard today. Yu Qian snorted coldly and motioned for the assassins standing on the side to continue the interrogation, while he looked at a tree stump in the clearing and raised his voice, "Although I can't see you, don't you know that trees don't vomit?"
The stump was split by a very poor man, and the section was uneven. And there was a tiny stain in it, which was stuck to a section of the section. "You are indeed cautious. I don't know what your transparency principle is, but I've been standing on a tree stump to avoid hitting the lawn and destroying the invisibility effect. It's a great idea. When you see that black shadow killing, you should just stand by the stump and stand guard, and when you realize that the situation is not right, you immediately stand up and hide. Although it works well, you are too sloppy. ”
"There's nothing you can do if you're discovered. A young man's voice came from the stump, "So what are you going to do next?
"Given the information that guy just confided, I'm going to have to capture you alive. Yu Qian's right leg took a step back slightly, making a posture of preparing to lunge forward, "You have had direct communication with that shadow." That's why I've got to catch you, too. ”
With a slight shake of his left leg, Yu Qian was about to pounce, but his body did not move at all.
"Boom!" a loud bang suddenly sounded. With a loud bang, a fireball the size of a calf appeared out of thin air, and then smashed into the ground less than five meters away from Yu Qian.
"Solid!" Yu Qian showed a triumphant smile on his face, and his hands slapped in front of him, unexpectedly making a thunderous roar. With a roar and a loud shout, a golden beast cage appeared out of thin air, directly framing the wooden stake and the surrounding five meters of things.
