Chapter 152: Joint Action (4000)
Nishizawa felt like he was strapped to a cold iron chair by now.
He was wearing a hood on his head, and it was pitch black in front of him. The linen cloth on the inside of the hood was sticky and greasy, and the smell of rotten blood kept drilling into the nose.
It's familiar, but in the past, all the criminals who sat in this position were caught by themselves.
What is this place? Who caught me?
Nishizawa felt a sharp pain coming from the place where he had been stabbed by the dagger, and someone held the dagger and pushed it hard. The tip of the dagger, which he could clearly feel, pierced his internal organs layer by layer, slowly...... The pain runs down the spine and goes straight to the brain, like being gnawed by countless ants on the wound, and the wave after wave makes people faint and can't do it.
I don't know how long it took for the man to relax a little.
The interrogation also began.
"Where is the elven clear sky?"
"I don't know!" Nishizawa blurted out almost without any thought.
The pain started again.
This time, Nishizawa found that after a long period of pain, it didn't seem so difficult to be punished again.
"Where is the elven clear sky?"
"I don't know!"
Nishizawa still answered the same way, he wouldn't betray Clear Sky. Even if he knew where she was, he wouldn't tell these people.
The pressure on the abdomen was heard again, but someone stopped it.
"If there is too much blood, he will die...... If you're dead, you can't ask for anything. ”
Nishizawa felt the dagger being pulled out, and someone used magic to stop the bleeding for himself.
Then he overheard the conversation between the two men.
"Is there any way you can get him to speak?"
"No, and he was taken by the Apostle. If you kill him, your lordship will kill us both. ”
"Why didn't you just say it! I almost ...... I almost killed him. ”
"You didn't ask, you came up and tortured, I already dissuaded you in a timely manner."
"You...... Anyway, what do you want? ”
"I heard you have a bead of blood wailing."
"Hey, don't be too greedy......"
While the two were bargaining, someone else shouted outside, "Lord Apostle! ”
The man who asked for the wailing blood bead laughed, "You've thought about it." ”
"Here you go...... Sooner or later, you will be punished for your greed. ”
"That was for later...... Lord Harriman, this man is Nishizawa, the chief of the Sheriff's Department of the Central City. ”
"Took off his hood."
"Yes, sir."
Nishizawa was discouraged by the violent removal of his hood and blood loss, but he still saw his surroundings clearly.
It's a basement with a lot of weird patterns painted on the walls, and some humanoid shadows. Nishizawa's knowledge allowed him to see that the shadows of the human form were not painted, but the projection of the soul of a real living person in this world after being sacrificed with blood.
"Abyss Temple!"
Nishizawa looked at the man standing in front of him, he was dressed in a modest formal suit, and if he didn't look at his face, he looked like a celebrity of high status.
There were also several people standing in the room, dressed in some kind of sacrificial robes with exaggeratedly high pointed hats.
Abyss Apostle Harriman looked at Nishizawa with his glowing red eyes, exuding an aura that could stir fear in people's hearts.
"You're right, we belong to the Abyss Temple. I have invited you, Director Nishizawa, to ask you something. ”
Nishizawa felt like he was being watched by a bottomless abyss, and all kinds of negative emotions came flooding up. Fear and fear are infinitely magnified by some force, and this kind of mental tearing is a hundred, a thousand times more painful than just being stabbed.
Nishizawa clenched his fists, straining all his strength to resist this mental onslaught.
"I know...... Know what you want to ask? I'm not going to betray Miss Sunny Sky...... Kill me! ”
"Huh?" Nishizawa's resistance is somewhat beyond Harriman's imagination, and it is not that anyone can still maintain his sanity when being gazed at by the abyss: "This little strength of yours is an ant in front of me, and you are still alive now, it is my gift to you."
Tell me what I want to know, and I'll give you a decent death.
Otherwise...... I will throw your soul into the abyss, tormented by fear and pain forever. ”
"Then try!" Nishizawa mustered all the courage to stare at Harriman, his spirit like a broken candle in a hurricane, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
"I'll give you one last chance. To tell you the truth, you're not our only option. Without you, we would have found the same clear skies. ”
"I won't tell you a word!"
Nishizawa's tough response infuriated Harriman, and just as he was about to use some more means to bring Nishizawa to his knees, someone entered the room.
"Lord Harriman, the Duke's envoy has sent a message."
"What did he say?"
Harriman's tone was haughty and contemptuous of the envoy, and he didn't seem to be afraid of the secrets being heard by Nishizawa.
In his eyes, Nishizawa's ultimate fate was a sacrifice.
"Viscount Iscoran's appointment to meet with the elves was postponed because Nishizawa was taken away. Now Clear Sky is looking for him all over the city......
The envoy was angry and told him to go and see him. ”
"What qualifications does he have for me to meet him!" Harriman said angrily, "A barbarian, he just arrived in the city of Angry Waves and pointed fingers at me. If it weren't for Lord Celtic's face, I would have thrown him into the abyss. ”
"Your Excellency, the envoy's servants are still waiting for your reply."
"Tell Erguya that we don't have to worry about the work of the Abyss Temple!"
"Yes, sir."
After waiting for his subordinates to leave, Harriman looked back at Nishizawa with a smile on his face.
"I didn't expect you, who are weak, to be so valued by the elf clear sky. I wonder if you're worth a book of calamity in her eyes? ”
As soon as Nishizawa heard that the clear sky was looking for him, his blood boiled instantly, and his fear of the abyss was swept away.
"Miss Sunny Sky's love for the world has never valued strength. She will find you prisoners who can only hide in their holes like rats and see what is as good as the sun.
Even the dark abyss will be illuminated by the light, and you will all be purified......"
Nishizawa scolded very hard.
Gu Hu made Harriman want to slap him to death, but he knew that Nishizawa was begging for death by scolding him like this.
Harriman laughed angrily, "Nishizawa, you'll find out soon...... Here, death is a luxury! ”
……
102 Organ Street, a small hollow-shaped building owned by Councillor Ibur, is one of many properties invested by the wealthy man in the city.
Early in the morning, the residents of Organ Street noticed that there were more sheriffs on the road. They appeared from different directions, stopped vehicles and pedestrians, and drove them towards the shops and houses facing the street.
The sheriffs then quickly set up barricades and pulled up a cordon around the small building at 102 Organ Street.
Just when the surrounding residents didn't know what these sheriffs were doing, the events that they would never forget began.
On the streets that had been emptied, the dense space rippled turbulently, and a large number of magicians wearing the mage robes of the Oulu Academy instantly appeared around the small building. Holding long-handled magic staffs, these magicians stood three meters apart facing the small building, and together they stuck their magic wands on the ground.
The chant began, and the magical barriers unfurled. These magical barriers combine to form a protective shield that encloses the entire building.
The spatial turmoil caused by space teleportation has not stopped.
On the inside of the shield, an Abis leopard stepped out with an arm shield and a short spear. They didn't make any stops, and their excellent jumping ability allowed them to step five or six meters in one step, and an Abis leopard smashed one window after another and rushed in.
A fierce battle ensued. Some of the Abis leopards were thrown out of the window as soon as they entered the window; More of the debris that was hit by the battle, thrown out of the window.
The explosion splattered and splintered bricks and stones.
The teleportation continues, and the Oulu Battlemage appears.
Unlike the Oulu Academy faculty members who were temporarily hired to set up magical enchantments, Oulu battlemages have their own unique clothing. The costume is similar to a military dress, and the body is straight and shaped, which can not only show the nobility of the battle mage, but also do not affect the movements during the battle.
Upon arrival, the Oulu Battlemages were divided into groups and used the Levitation Technique to enter the battlefield through the passage opened by the Abis Leopard.
That's when a convoy arrived at the scene.
In front were three side motorcycles, in the middle were several cars with the flag of the Empire and the Secret Intelligence Bureau, and then a dozen trucks carrying war machinery.
The Cape District Intelligence Bureau has arrived.
The Imperial agents got out of the car and gathered, and then dispersed to occupy the surrounding high points and key roads, and completely sealed off Organ Street.
After the agents finished taking control, Luke stepped out of the car and looked at the building in front of him, which was being "violently demolished".
From time to time, various beams of light came out with explosions, indicating that the battle inside was very fierce.
"Inspector ......" Shelley and Pisco came to Luke: "Our people have already controlled this place, do you want me to bring someone in and give some support to the Oulu battle mage?" ”
This time, in order to eliminate this group of abyss mages lurking in Angry Waves City, the Oulu Academy used the strength of a lion to fight a rabbit. To end the battle with minimal losses and minimal impact, as quickly as possible.
Luke lit a cigarette for himself and said to his subordinates: "The Oulu battle mage hates the abyss mage very much, and I am afraid that our people will be injured by mistake if they go in." If a few abyss mages take advantage of the loophole and escape, this encirclement and suppression will not be perfect.
Let's stay on the periphery and wait for the Oulu battlemage to finish all the work, and then go in and settle the remnant. ”
Not being able to go in to fight made Shelley and Pisco a little unwilling, but they couldn't help but admit that the inspector was right. In such a short period of time, a building that looked quite sturdy was demolished and crumbling, and the under-strength imperial spies entered...... I'm afraid that if I don't see anyone, I will be stoned to death.
"Yes, Inspector. We promise to look carefully and not let an abyssal mage escape. ”
"Well, let's get to work."
Luke sent Shelley and Pisco away and got into the car, where it was pouring rain.
The clear sky is already inside the building.
An Abyss Mage was also caught.
The knife against the abyssal mage's neck forced him into a corner, and Clear Sky said to an Abis leopard beside him, "Leave it to me here, you go somewhere else." ”
The Abis leopard stepped back, then leapt out of the room.
At this time, the abyss mage thought that Clear Sky was distracted and was about to sneak attack, but the wall instantly froze, and his hands and feet were firmly frozen against the wall.
Clear Sky turned to the Abyss Mage and asked, "Where are the people you are arresting?" ”
The blade had split the skin, and blood was running down his neck. And the abyssal mage replied without fear of death: "The mage who serves the abyss will not be threatened by any worldly forces, and I will not answer any questions from you." ”
"Do you think you're tough? Others may not be able to do anything about you, but I know how to deal with you guys with brains. The forces of the world cannot threaten you, but the forces of the abyss can. ”
After Clear Sky stretched out her hand, the Book of Calamity appeared in her hand.
When he saw the Book of Calamity, the eyes of the abyss mages lit up. He wanted to snatch, but his body couldn't move.
"Hand over the holy scriptures! The Apostles can forgive your sins and give you the power of the abyss. ”
Clear Sky chuckled and said, "I want to get the power of the abyss, and I need the apostle's reward?" Do you want to see the abyss......"
"Yes!"
"You don't regret it!"
The Book of Calamity floated from Clear Sky's hand, the knife in her hand exerting force, and the wound on the abyssal mage's neck expanded. The artery was cut open and blood spurted out of the wound did not appear.
Bright red blood flew out of the wound, and the Book of Calamity opened automatically, turning the pages. Blood was drawn to the Book of Calamity, disintegrating into wisps of blood-colored brilliance that burrowed into the tossed pages.
The whole room immediately exuded an eerie atmosphere. Even though everything is in place, it feels like there is no space left. There is no up, down, left, right, front and back, no perception of one's own existence.
It is as if the whole person has fallen into a place where nothing exists, and even if he is illuminated by the light, he feels that he is in eternal darkness.
Fall, fall, fall......
Falling in silent darkness, only the heartbeat is the only sound in the ears.
And this heartbeat did not come from his chest.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Abyss Mage wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth wide. His eyes were hollow, his pupils dilated, and the muscles of his face were stiff and hideous. His body struggled as hard as he could, and it seemed as if something was approaching that terribly frightened him.
Clear Sky whispered in his ear, "Feel the abyss?" This is the real abyss, and it is not something that the apostle's little abyssal energy can do.
Surrender to the abyss, give up all resistance and struggle, and let fear consume you. You will become one with the abyss, you will become a part of the abyss, and you will become a more powerful being than the apostles of the abyss. ”
The Abyss Mage's struggles slowed down, and he lost so much blood that he couldn't do long and strenuous exercises.
It also made his mind no longer clear.
Clear Sky continued to induce: "You are one last step away from becoming an abyss...... I can push you a little more, but you have to answer my question first. ”
"What's the problem?" The Abyss Mage said dumbfoundedly.
"Where's Priestley Nishiza? Last night...... You took him. ”
"He's in the cellar in the northeast corner."
