Secret police?

Eric had always thought that the Pelos Police Department was the only official police agency in Pelos.

"So the duke, who is the lord of the city, handed over to you to secretly investigate all the things that the rice buckets in the police station can't do?"

Eric asked quips.

"Don't get me wrong, unlike you, we're not an organization in the city's architecture. We are not subject to anyone's jurisdiction and are completely free to behave. To be honest, even the current Duke doesn't know we exist. ”

Io explained.

This organization does sound somewhat... Particularly.

Eric is beginning to understand the nature of the organization.

Unknown, secretly active. The well-known "secret police" is, at best, a voluntary organization of the people.

"I have to admit your nobility. But are you sure that these great spontaneous acts will not cause trouble for the rice pails at the police station, and the legality of these acts is debatable. ”

Eric's words didn't sound kind.

Instead of getting angry, Io smiled faintly.

"It is true that we may not be legitimate, but we do have to exist. Unlike police stations, we focus on events that are not in the public eye and are hidden in the shadows.

At the same time, I'm not sure if all the detectives in the police department are as conscientious as you, but I'm sure there are guys out there who ignore the cases they encounter. Because the strange things that happened to them in the hospital were not part of their duties. Most of them just complete the tasks assigned to them by their superiors. ”

This sentence embarrassed Eric. He couldn't deny Io's words, for many of his colleagues were exactly what they said.

"Moreover, the "secret police" has been guarding Pelos for a longer time than the Pelos police station. ”

Io laughed again.

It doesn't look like a lie at all.

Shocked, Eric calculated in his mind.

The police station was established during the reign of Count Pelos II (it was not until the time of the IV that the lord of Count Pelos was crowned a duke by the king). If Io is right, then the secret police will not be established before that.

I period?

The "secret police" was born together with the city of Pelos?

Eric stared at Io, asking silently.

"You're right. We are present with this city and are connected by blood. Io didn't explain anything more than that.

There are some things that are not easy for anyone to disclose.

"Well, I've decided not to care about you stealing jobs from the police station, but I hope you haven't done anything illegal. ”

"You can rest assured of that. We never do those things. Unless that helps us in our work. Io responded.

Even if Io's words contradicted himself, Eric was reluctant to delve further. Otherwise the topic will go on and on. "The main question next is how do you plan to resolve the incident that happened at the Pelos Hospital?" ”

"Good question. As you can see, there are now only three of us in the secret police organization.

Bell is now incapacitated due to the anesthetic powder. Arvin can only play queen chess, and as long as the enemy is not stupid enough to play chess with him, it will not be of much use.

And your appearance was a complete accident. Originally, I was going to act alone, but now that I have a capable police detective, I will naturally have a greater chance of success. Io said.

In fact, the words of praise did not reach Eric's ears at all. Because he suddenly felt like a fool, after all, he had just played a game of chess with the little one.

But when it comes to Arvin's weak ability, Eric agrees: "Indeed, even if you play chess with him. The spell he casts will only make it impossible for people to attack himself. ”

Behind Io, Arvin muttered a few words that were inaudible, clearly unhappy with Eric's words that belittled his abilities.

"No, you seem to have misunderstood. Io denied, "Arwen is actually very powerful, but he is a kind child. As long as he wins that game, he can make a rule. For example, it's okay to let you die instantly. Although it was one of the things I forbade him to do. But he could have used other, more vicious spells, but he didn't, just sealed your attacking powers. Then wait for me to finish dealing with Bell.

The reason why his ability is weak is because the activation conditions are too harsh, not because he is not strong enough. ”

It was a factual tone, unquestionable.

Complimented, Arwen triumphantly pointed the tip of his nose at Eric.

A spell with no limits? I was just saved by Arvin's kindness?

Eric was scared. At the same time, he became extremely interested in the source of this mana. But it seems that neither Io nor Yawen has any intention of elaborating.

"Alright, back to business. Io continued, "Next, you and I need to go to the Pelos Hospital, get rid of the Raven Talkers there, and it would be nice if we could ask for more information about the Crows while cleaning up the network of anesthetic powder." I have a proposal for a specific strategy. That is to get one of the staff members there out of the hospital so we can question him. ”

It seems that it is different from the past. The hospital tour will be an intelligence war.

Io continued to say to Eric, "I'll give you this task. As a secret policeman, it's not convenient for me to show my head. It's dangerous for us to reveal our identities casually. In addition, our stronghold needs to be relocated, because Bell's previous behavior in the hospital is likely to attract the "crow" people. That's why Arvin is hostile to you. ”

Eric pouted, "It seems that without me, your actions would be really inconvenient." ”

"When I'm acting alone, complicated disguises are inevitable. But there is always the possibility of showing the horse's feet. ”

"It's that you have too few members. ”

An organization with the same lifespan as Pelos turned out to be only three people. It's strange to anyone.

"We had to go through a very tough test to join. At the same time, the reduction of personnel is also conducive to maintaining our mystery. ”

Io said. The hood on his head also seemed to prove that they had to remain mysterious.

Because of this, Io, who is the leader of the organization, will go out in person this time, and he has no frame of being the boss at all.

So approachable.

"Then what are you responsible for. Eric asked Io.

"Crossbow bolts are my best buddies. In addition to fighting, I can also shoot two arrows into the opponent's thigh during the inquiry. ”

Io took the crossbow to his chest and showed it to Eric.

Where is inquiry, it is clearly torture.

Io seemed to see Eric's intolerance: "Don't forget. The guys at the hospital are still feeding the innocent patients with numbing powder, and they deserve it. ”

"Wait!"

Eric patted his head. Io's words reminded him of something important.

How could he forget, no matter what, he shouldn't forget.

Catherine!!

She was still lying in a bed in that terrible hospital.
