The investigation of the entire building took more time than expected, and I don't know if it was because of the several renovations, and the space inside the mixed living building was particularly chaotic. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although at first glance the attacker's attack was irrational, he was only unilaterally promoting his own violence, destroying the house to a pulp. However, if you look closely, you will see that the only room that has been completely destroyed by the force is the hall, which is not adjacent to the neighbor's room.

I don't know if it's because he found a crucial book, so that the other rooms are completely out of the need to search for him, or if it's to prevent his whereabouts from being discovered prematurely. But he apparently avoided areas that might raise suspicion and did not completely raze the house.

However, the members of the garrison tried their best to experiment with the almost unanimous claim of the inhabitants that "no sound of destruction was heard", but this phenomenon was obviously impossible to achieve without using any magic to cut off the outflow of sounds.

The prisoner is a sorcerer - perhaps this is the simplest and most reasonable way of thinking, and when something unnatural arises in the case, both ordinary people and the police officers will suspect the person who can easily create these "anomalies". As a result, the garrison is staffed by a number of mages who are responsible for investigating magical phenomena, and when the first officers to arrive at the scene have identified possible "phenomena", they will be dispatched.

But for some reason, the sorcerer who was supposed to have arrived at the scene did not show up for a long time, and the people who were sent to contact the headquarters did not hear back. When Flick finally realized that providing secretarial services and examining documents for the garrison here was more time-consuming and laborious than working in the library, it was almost late at night, and even Lester, who had been active in the field and throughout the building, was showing signs of fatigue.

I don't know if it's because of the poor lighting in the building, but Frick always feels like he has become dull from his sense of time after entering the building. Originally, he expected to be busy until noon at most, but when he was finally able to look out the window, he found that it was completely dark outside, but the most amazing thing was that Flick felt that the time had not passed long, and he did not even feel hungry.

"I'm sorry, Sergeant Leicester, but please let me leave it today. ”

Frick said to the security officer, who was still busy, "It's getting late, I still have some work to attend to tomorrow, so I can't come to assist you in your investigation." I'll summarize the information you told me before I confirm it...... In addition, with regard to all the labour services I am providing on the spot today, I will submit a request to the garrison after confirming the Library's regulations in this regard. ”

As he spoke, he subconsciously touched the notes in the pocket of his underwear to make sure they were in a position where he could easily pull them out at his fingertips. For some reason, he could always feel an indescribable uneasiness, and a "voice" hidden deep in his heart was warning him.

There were eight security officers stranded at the scene, and fifteen of those who remained in the complex to investigate, all of whom were carrying small lightweight mechanics. If the other party chooses to attack at this time, then he should be able to fight back with their help.

But the opponent is a sorcerer, and if they really want to "annihilate" everyone in this mixed building, they only need to detonate it. Presumably, if they did, people would have seen the headlines about the "gas explosion" in the newspapers the next day.

Frick had no doubt that he had become the next possible target, and in order to prevent him from disappearing with the other security officers who were in the way, he decided that it would be better to split up with Lester as much as possible. If the other side is really going to attack, then at least there is time to leave the last news.

The Garrison may not be good at dealing with the Wizard's combat style, but the Garrison building has at least a fortress-level defensive ability and cannot be easily destroyed by a spell attack. The Great Library itself has a certain number of people who can control the magic power, and the ability to defend against attacks is still above the garrison building.

Frick remembers the attacker who had attacked him at Lemongrass, and his stealth skills were so stealthy that even Lord Leinster had not noticed his whereabouts. If he once again sneaks into the building to assassinate him, it will be difficult for Lester, who is just an ordinary person, to be on guard against enemy movements at any time.

But if the worst happens, Flick can't do anything substantially, because that's not his specialty. There may have been measures within the garrison to prevent suspicious people from sneaking in, but Flick always felt that he couldn't put his hopes in it.

"Hmm...... Is it so late?" Taking the paperwork that Frick had processed, Lester subconsciously took out a copper-colored pocket watch from his arms, "Hey, when did the pocket watch stop, I only clocked it up before I came out this morning...... Isn't it going to break?"

He fiddled with the pocket watch, which looked to be a few years old, but no matter how much he adjusted the gradual adjustment of the watch, the hands that had stopped would not continue to move. Surprised, Lester immediately questioned the other security officers, but none of them had the tools to determine the time.

The only way to know the approximate time now was to look out the window, and the darkness seemed to tell everyone in the house that they had spent the whole day in the house. Like Frick, the officers were a little puzzled that they had been working for so long, but none of them could argue against it.

It seems that the speed of time passing in this complex is completely different from that of the outside world, so that everyone's perception of it has changed. This is a phenomenon that is difficult for even a high-ranking mage to create, but it makes the hidden uneasiness in Frick's heart even more restless.

"All in all, I leave here today, and if any information that can be provided is found in the follow-up investigation, I will contact the security team as soon as possible, and I hope that the Leicester security officer can tell me some relevant information. As he spoke, Frick turned and walked towards the exit of the room.

Just as he was about to pass through the portal, which was guarded by two sturdy guards, his ears caught some movement not far away. It seemed to be some kind of commotion coming from a distance, mixed with a few human voices, but more like the roar of crushing rocks.

Could it be that something had happened?-Frick poked his head out in the direction from which the voice came, but there was no sign of commotion outside the dark window. The fact that the voices were so faint that no one but Frick noticed them was the strangest thing in the eyes of the security officer.

But he still didn't restrain what he could, but carefully searched for the direction from which the voices came, hoping to capture the information contained in the treasure more clearly.

Perhaps thinking that his behavior was a little strange, one of the security officers who was standing at the door turned to him and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Sierra Leone, although you have indeed been asked by Chief Leicester to come and assist us in our investigation, we still hope that you will not wander around the scene, because it is very likely to destroy some of the remaining clues, which will make our investigation more difficult." ”

Perhaps as security officers, they didn't want outsiders like him to get involved in the investigation, but after all, Frick's efforts throughout the day had really helped them a lot, so he spoke in a rather polite tone. But by this time Frick had concentrated all his energy on searching for noises coming from nowhere, and did not hear the voice of the guard who was just a few paces behind him.

So the security officer immediately walked towards Frick, who was still looking around the house, and put his hand on his shoulder, telling him not to act aimlessly around the scene. While Frick had once mocked that their actions would cause trouble for those who wanted to recreate the crime scene, he was now the one to make the mess.

But the officer probably didn't think that it was because he wanted to stop Flick from moving around the scene that he was safe from the sudden attack in the next second—the moment he took two quick steps and put his hand on Frick's shoulder, a flash of light swept through the corridor he had been in.

Not a word was heard...... It was clearly an attack spell that contained great malice, but no one noticed the slightest sign of a flash of light. There were three people facing the corridor at the time, but only Frick, who happened to turn around because of the officer's actions, was able to fully witness everything.

He saw with his own eyes that after the dazzling white light flashed, all kinds of household garbage that had been piled up in the corridor were immediately rolled up and blown away. And the security officer, who was also tasked with standing guard around the security officer who stopped him, was hit by the shining entity before he could even react, and before he could even let out a scream, he was thrown out like garbage.

A circular wound had been dug through his body by something, perhaps instinctively turning in the direction of the light as the attack approached, but this last reaction did not allow him to survive at all. Although it was only a glimpse of the scene, Frick thought that the wound could only be described as "horrific", and that if one looked through the wound, they would probably be able to see the scenery behind it.

The poor guard officer was hit directly by the "light" that swept the corridor, and his body was completely pierced...... Anyone who has been injured so badly is undoubtedly too late to be rescued. However, because of his sacrifice, the security officers, who had not yet noticed the approaching danger, all went into action.
